NEWS OF THE WEEK In a Condensed Form for Our Busy Readers. HAPPENINGS OF TWO CONTINENTS A Resume of the Less Important but Not Less Interesting Events of the Past Week. Dowie's wife has become reconciled with the prophet. Oakland is making a great effort to capture San Francisco shipping. Senator Heyburn is improving from his second attack of appendicitis. Many of the steel frames of large buildings in San Francisco are uninjured. The regular troops now have entire charge of feeding the San Francisco refugees. King Edward, Emperor William and Emperor Nicholas will hold a conference shortly. Bellevue, Texas, has been devastated by a tornado. Forty people are reported killed. The Japanese mikado has given $200,000 to the relief of San Francisco, and the people a like sum. The doubtful vote in the senate on the railroad rate bill is large enough to swing the result either way. An area of 453 blocks was burned by the San Francisco fire. It is estimated that the buildings destroyed will be in the neighborhood of 60,000. Norway is taking steps to organize a new army. A ninth victim of the explosion on the battleship Kearsarge has died. The last of the Russian prisoners have been returned home from Japan. The total relief fund from all sources totals more than $18,000,000 and still grows. There is no danger of an epidemic among San Francisco's homeless, according to the health authorities. The San Francisco bank vault believed to be uninjured, but it will be a week before they can be opened. Insurance men will have a say on rebuilding plans of San Francisco and will not allow flimsy structures to be erected. Most of San Francisco's people would prefer to see the city rebuilt on the plan of the old and oppose changes in the streets. Jonathan Bourne is gaining on H. M. Cake, who leads for the Republican nominee for Senator in the Oregon primary elections. All the credit for stopping the San Francisco fire belongs to three expert gunners from Mare Island navy yard. They blew up a strip of buildings one block wide in front of the flamees, using a ton and a half of gun-cotton. Oakland's present population is about 1000 to the block. General Funston has barred sightseers from San Francisco. San Francisco's Chinatown will never be rebuilt on the old site. A heavy rain has added to the discomfort of the residents of the San Francisco refuge camps. Men are clearing away the San Francisco ruins. The newspaper offices will be among the first buildings repaired. General A. W. Greeley has assumed command of the Federal troops at San Francisco. General Funston will act under Greeley's orders. The latest figures on cash subscriptions from all parts of the United States for the relief of San Francisco sufferers totals $7,314,000. Citizens of San Francisco have united in demanding that the state militia be withdrawn and Federal troops take their place. Wanton shooting is given as the cause. One hundred distinct and separate books, telling the complete story of the San Francisco earthquake and fire, each of them "the only authentic account," are in process of preparation in various cities of the country, and they will be offered to the country before the embs are cool. The death list at Santa Rosa will reach nearly 100. Twenty miners were killed by an explosion in Colorado. There is an armed insurrection in the French mining districts. Thousands of refugees are leaving San Francisco for the north, south and east. General Funston and Mayor Schmitz unite in saying there is no danger of an epidemic of disease in San Francisco. Every building in Fort Bragg, a Mendocino county town of 5,000, was wrecked or burned. But one life was lost. LOOKING FOR SITES. San Francisco Wholesalers Want to Begin Business at Once. San Francisco, April 27.—The first important step toward re-establishing trade relations in San Francisco was taken tonight when the reality men held a hurried consultation with more than fifty important merchants. The object of the meeting was to secure temporary quarters for the wholesalers, six of whom announced they were forced to go into business immediately. The meeting was called without warning, so the real estate men were not prepared to offer sites. It was decided that the two bodies meet again Saturday morning at 10, to make final arrangements. The realty men discovered that the wholesalers were all ready to move across the bay. The chairman of the meeting, Mr. Triest, announced that land was offered the wholesalers in Oakland practically free of charge for a period of two years. Triest asked the real estate men for figures and location sites, saying the wholesalers wanted them immediately. From his manner of expression it would appear that some of the wholesale mer- Probable Republican Ticket. Senator, short term, F. W. Mulkey.

Hoff. chants were ready to desert San Francisco and locate in Oakland until such time at least as San Francisco could be rebuilt. The wholesalers announced their intention to congregate in one district if possible. They preferred the southern part of the city because of the railroad facilities there. When the real estate men mentioned several sites in the vicinity of North Beach the merchants said these would have to receive second call, as they wanted south of Market street, if such a location were at all possible. The wholesalers said most of their members were willing to be housed under one or two roofs at the present time, and that they could manage with such quarters for at least a year. They then asked the real estate men for figures in buildings. It was impossible for the latter to furnish this data under present conditions, so the wholesalers agreed to wait for a few days for their answer. The wholesalers announced that six of their members would require at least 100,000 square feet. Before the meeting adourned others told the realty men that they intended to join with the six in reopening right away, and, in rough figures, it is estimated that the merchants will need at least 1,000,000 square feet of ground space. SANTA ROSA TO BE REBUILT. Entire Business Section of City Destroved by Earthhake. Santa Rosa, Cal., April 27. The latest figures show fifty-one dead, sixty-three injured and seven missing, as published in these dispatches. The entire business section of the town was destroyed and many residences went down. Twenty fires started, but the water supply was unimpaired, and within three hours the flames were under control. Cut off by the disaster from communication with the rest of the world, Santa Rosa knew nothing of the destruction of San Francisco until the arrival from there of a trainload of nearly 1,000 refugees, begging for help that could not be given, but nearby towns came to the rescue, and after a period of starvation and suffering aid was received. The courthouse, the new Masonic temple, the new library and the Odd Fellows' building went with the other buildings, but larger and better structures will replace them. It is the intention of business men at once to begin rebuilding. The savings bank of Santa Rosa occupied a $40,000 building. Its new one, which will be an office building, will cost $250,000. Con Shea, who lost five buildings, worth $100,000, says that his five ones will be worth twice that sum. The same spirit is manifested by all The same spirit is manifested by all who have been interviewed. Fissures Open in the Earth Oakland, Cal., April 27.—Word comes from the district between Milpitas and Alviso, on the south arm of San Francisco bay, that fissures have opened in the earth, and water is flowing over the surface. The section is known as the artesian belt, hundreds of wells flowing perennially and supplying means of irrigating large areas. Such wells require capping to restrain the flow under ordinary conditions, and recent disturbance of the earth's surface has released subterranean streams Roads in this locality are flooded and impassable. Steel People to Rush Orders. Pittsburg, April 27. Orders have been issued by the officials of the Carnegie Steel Company making all orders for San Francisco "emergency orders," and giving them precedence. John G. Neale, structural engineer of the Carnegie Company, left last night for San Francisco to take charge of the structural force of the United States Steel Corporation on the Pacific Coast. BOILS WITH ANGER Russia On Eve of New Revolutionary Outbreak. CONSTITUTION IS A MERE FARCE Opposition to Despotism is United by Deprivation of Liberty — Idle Workmen Organizing. St. Petersburg, April 26.—The political situation has grown threatening. The publication yesterday of the new draft of the "fundamental law" or "constitution" of Russia has aroused a storm of indignation, and amidst the present great distrust of the government's motives has furnished just the stimulus needed to solidify the entire opposition in Parliament. The Rech insists that with the realization of the new Russian loan, and under the false conviction that the revolution is suppressed, the government has not hesitated again to show the cloven hoof, not even masking its intention to dissolve Parliament, if it is found to be troublesome. M. Brianchaninoff, in the Flovo, calls the draft of the "fundamental law" a "mockery" which will be resented by every honest man, be he a member of the "Black Hundred" or a Social Revolutionist, adding that "such a mixture of lies and false logic on the eve of the assembling of the real masters of the country can only tend to push the people to a fresh revolution with its attending conflicts and anarchy. The existing regime seems fated to go down in blood." The really dangerous element in the situation, however, is not in the attitude of the Liberals but in the possibility of another upheaval from below at the very moment when the intellectual forces of the country have been united. For some time the Social Democrats and other proletariat organizations have been trying to arrange a general uprising to coincide with the convocation of Parliament, but apparently they were making no headway. Now, however, a great movement among the idle workman of the capital, who number 42,000, has come to the surface, and there is more than a supposition that this movement is simply the cover for a real uprising which is being organized behind it. Meetings of men out of work held in the suburbs during the last few nights were attended by orators of the Social Democratic party. A council of men out of work has also sprung into existence like the famous Workmen's Council which directed the big strike of last fall. Proclamations have been issued calling upon all workmen to support the men out of work, who demand that the city within a week shall put them to work upon the construction of new street railroads and bridges, for which $4,000,000 has been appropriated. ARMY IN CHARGE San Francisco's Hungry Being Fed by Quartermaster's Department. San Francisco, April 26.—Gradually the National Government is taking over the work of succoring the homeless and foodless thousands of San Francisco and tomorrow the representatives of the United States Army will have charge of the gigantic task of feeding food to all those who remain in the city. This development resulted from the meeting of the executive committee today and the work will be turned over to the United States Quartermaster of this department, who will establish a complete system of issuing rations at all of the 58 stations throughout the city. This was a day of optimistic reports from all sides. "Conditions improving," was the happy expression from those who had charge of the duties of caring for their less fortunate townsmen during the last few days. In fact the most important duty will hereafter be performed by the United States Army, that of distributing the food and supplies which have been donated most lavishly by the people. The citizens of San Francisco have turned their attention to the details of the reconstruction of their business. Wants Philippine Traffic. Washington, April 26. — Senators Fulton and Gearin today received a telegram from the Portland Chamber of Commerce asking that Portland be made the temporary headquarters for shipping supplies to the Philippines, pending the rebuilding of warehouses and docks at San Francisco. The Senators will take the matter up with the Quartermaster-General. The President today sent a message to Congress urging an immediate appropriation for rebuilding the warehouses at San Francisco. Another $25,000 for Japan. Washington, April 26.—Another contribution of $25,000 from the Christian Herald was received today by the Red Cross for transmission to Japan for the relief of the famine sufferers. NO. 1. BUILD DISASTER PROOF. Modern Steel Buildings Will Undoubtedly Be Erected. Oakland, Cal., April 25.—San Francisco can be rebuilt so the disaster from earthquake and fire will be practically impossible. The dozen or two of steel-frame buildings that withstood the terrible heat uprear themselves among the dismantled ruins as proof of this. The worst that happened to the modern buildings was a "sagging" from the earthquake. Modern architectural skill cannot overcome this, but it can minimize the loss. Undoubtedly the business center of the city, at least, will be built up according to plans that will make it perfectly safe, come what may. There is a steady exodus from San Francisco now, and it will continue. Thousands are thoroughly frightened, and every little window shaker that occurs strikes terror into their souls. But most of the people will have their nerve back within a week and then nothing will be heard but talk of upbuilding the city. The Monadnock building, next to the Palace Hotel, will be fitted up shortly for offices, and several unfinished skyscrapers will be completed in the midst of the desolation. Three months from now there will be the greatest building boom the city has ever known. Wrecking work has begun. The streets are being cleared and the shells of buildings blown up. The Emporium and 20 others went this morning. Blasting is necessary only in the heart of the city. Throughout most of the miles of ruins there is hardly a wall standing. DEAD EXCEED 1,000. Only a Small Proportion Has Been Identified, Says Coroner. San Francisco, April 25—Coroner William Walsh estimates that the total number of dead will be not less than 1,000. His reports are complete, and his estimate is made up from all the data he has been able to collect. Coroner Walsh said: "Bodies that the deputy coroners have found and buried number 300, as follows: "At Polk and Bay street, 33; at Portsmouth square, 23; at Washington square, 12; at the Six-Mile house, 200; at Laurel Hill, 23; scattered in different parts of the city." "No thorough search has been made of the district south of Market street or the Chinese quarter. Many lives must have been lost in these sections. "South of Market street were the cheap lodging houses, and many of these collapsed from the earthquake. There is little chance that half of the inmates of the collapsed buildings had opportunity to escape. This is also true of Chinatown. "Shortly after the earthquake, soldiers and police, so I have been told, buried bodies found along the water front. I have received no official report of these. "The total number of dead will undoubtedly reach, if it does not exceed, 1,000." LAY TRACK TO HAUL DEBRIS. Southern Pacific Offers Valuable Aid in Clearing Ruins. San Francisco, April 25.—As a welcome relief to the officials and citizens of San Francisco, who have looked upon the ruins of the city and upon the monstrous piles of bricks and stone and twisted iron that were once their homes and places of business, is the announcement that the Southern Pacific railroad will aid in any way in the work of clearing away the debris. The railroad officials are ready to build a track through the heart of the devastated city, from Harrison street to the bay, and to run their flatcars in for the wreckage that must be removed before new buildings arise and normal conditions can be restored. In this great work between 3,000 and 4,000 men will be employed. The railroad will carry the debris wherever the authorities want it taken, and by so doing will make possible the performance of the enormous task. It is said that an application will be made immediately to the supervisors of San Francisco for a franchise for this spur track. The route is not known, but the rails will perhaps be laid along the lines of least resistance. Can Pay All Insurance. Oakland, Cal., April 25 —State Insurance Commissioner E. Myron Wolfe announced today that nearly all the large insurance companies would be able to make satisfactory adjustments of the losses caused by the San Francisco fire. He estimates that the amount for which the companies are liable will probably reach $250,000,000. Mr. Wolfe says he hopes the authorities of San Francisco will now grant the hitherto unanswered appeal of the fire insurance companies for an auxiliary salt water system on Twin Peaks. Tsi An Opens Her Heart. Pekin, April 25.—The empress dowager has sent to the American legation a check for $50,000 for the relief of the sufferers from the disaster at San Francisco, and is sending $20,000 to the Chinese in that city. Many a congressional discussion is well termed "exhaustive." Josh Billings also was among the earliest of the spelling deformers. An ounce of honest criticism is worth more than a pound of flattery. Carnegie says millionaires who laugh are rare. Why don't they read the sayings of millionaires? Russell Sage says people are foolish to want to travel in airships when it is so much cheaper to walk. It appears that Dr. Osler never made that chloroforming speech. Some people simply can't help becoming famous. Forgiving without forgetting is a good deal like giving a receipt for money without signing your name to it. There is no likelihood that the czar will succeed in being much of a reformer as long as he retains his present kitchen cabinet. Physicians say that no exercise is as healthful as walking. This may be true, but it is poor consolation to the man who can't afford an automobile. John D. Rockefeller, Jr., says it is not necessary for a young man to sow wild oats. But then young Mr. Rockefeller never attended a naval academy. In Finland "law and liberty of the press" is officially called Tryckfrihelsetlag. It is a pretty big name for a thing that appears to cut a very small figure over there. Two men are going to hunt for the north pole in an automobile. Just turn an automobile loose in the artic regions and if there is any pole to run against it will surely hit it. A bank cashier who pleaded guilty to "abstraction, embezzlement and false entry" has been sentenced to six years in Auburn prison. For plain theft he would have been entitled to twice that. A commercial report notes the great development of Switzerland's imports of coal tar colors and dyes. Are the Swiss going extensively into the manufacture of pure jams, jellies, butters and preserves? Fran is Burton Harrison says everything in the Isthmus of Panama is all right, only that no one is digging to amount to anything. The digging seems to be only in the vicinity of Uncle Sam's pockets. John D. Rockefeller was likened by a member of his son's Bible class to Moses, Washington and Lincoln—and yet Moses led his people to the promised land, Washington couldn't tell a lie and Lincoln abolished slavery. A former captain in the federal army recovered recently a copy of "Paradise Lost" which he had dropped on the field of Antietam more than forty years ago. It would be interesting to learn whether the person who has had it all these years succeeded in getting it read through. Professor Edward A. Ross, of the University of Nebraska, uses the term "the American breed" to describe what he calls a distinct type of man—the restless, strenuous people so different from the easy-going types of Europe. There are reasons why our immigrants should become nervous and energetic in one or two generations, but Professor SorRoss seems to think that the restlessness is not acquired here, but is the reason why these types left Europe. America is, therefore, weeding out the energetic folks from Europe—they are selected, venturesome natures and constitute a type. A St. Petersburg dispatch says that some 70,000 persons have been arrested in European Russia since the government entered on its active campaign against the revolutionists. It also says that the government has instructed the governors that persons arrested for political offenses must be informed of the charge against them and permitted to make explanations within twenty four hours. So it seems that Russia is not progressing rapidly in the direction of liberty. It is something that political offenders must be given a hearing within a reasonable time, but it does not follow that they are dealt with any the less rigorously in the end. The Duke of Abruzzi, cousin of the King of Italy, whose exploring party approached the North Pole more nearly than any other party, has completed arrangements for a trip of exploration in Africa. He proposes to land at Mombasa, the capital of British East Africa; then he will cross Victoria Nyanza—"nyanza," as those who consult their dictionaries know, means lake in Africa, as "Klang" means river in China—and afterward climb the Elgon mountain near Uganda. As the tours of this Italian nobleman always increase the knowledge of the world, the report of the results of this latest one will be awaited with considerable interest. Foreign and native critics of American life have by iteration accustomed us to regard ourselves as a commercial. material nation. It is good to turn sharply and question this view. Prof. Francis Peabody, the first professor sent to the University of Berlin by Harvard University, under the new provision for an exchange of lectures, showed his German audience that Americans are idealists. "The very cleverness of the nation leaves it unsatisfied with commercial gain." "This plain people with but meager traditions of art and philosophy are still blessed with a rich inheritance of conscience." Idealism is conduct in accordance with beliefs, as against conduct in accordance with material advantage. The corruption and materialism that exist in this country are excesses upon a national structure that was founded in ideals and has been built upon. The great Americans have been moral idealists. Hard sense in Franklin and Lincoln does not disguise a calm idealism. Many political campaigns have been contentions over principles of almost philosophical abstraction. The civil war was fought for ideals. The south crippled itself valiantly, not for profit or sordid aid, but for devotion to principle. The north fought for no material advantage, but for an ideal of government. No spectacle in history resembles that of the once hostile sections of America still in frank agreement about the issues contended for, but each recognizing that the other fought for beliefs. Nearly all American men of letters are teachers about life, ethical idealists—as witness Franklin, Hawthorne, Emerson, Lowell, Whittier, Longfellow, Thoreau. Whoever speaks a moral idea, or rises as a sincere reformer as the founder of a new Utopia, has many followers, so that our country is full of ethical cults and peaceful revolutionaries, each in pursuit of an ideal. America has thriven not merely by "natural resources" and business energy, but also because the people have idealists. In considering the problem of "manning the land" the mistake is commonly made of regarding the question as a matter of "hired men" entirely. That is, we are asked to believe that the land can be manned with agricultural laborers. This is certainly a mistake. If the problem is to be solved it will be by the creation of a class of small, independent land owners who will do their own work and not be dependent upon hired labor. It becomes more and more evident that the day of the American "hired man" is gone. Farm labor is not attractive to the young men of to-day. The tide flows from the farms to the cities and there is no return current. Except for a certain proportion of European immigrants, there is little or no effluent into the rural districts. Nor is it at all strange that this should be so. The farmer who owns land is the most independent man in the world, but that cannot be said of the "hired man" who works for $25 a month "and found". Farm work is hard, the hours are long and the opportunities for advancement are small. When land was cheap the farmhand could by industry and thrift, acquire a farm of his own, but at the present prices of farming lands it would take a phenomenally shrewd and saving farm laborer to become a land owner. The man who depends upon manual labor for his living can do better in the city than in the country. It is to be remembered, too, that farm work is not always to be had all the year round. During the harvest season there is a large demand for help, but this demand is temporary and for many months of the year farm laborers—or "hired men"—are in small demand. This is another reason why young men do not go to the country. They have a better chance for steady employment in town. In short, the farms are not to be manned by hired labor. The solution of the problem is to be found in the creation of a great class of small, independent land owners who will do their own work. In France this class is the backbone of the nation. It will be the same in this country when the American people realize that agriculture is the freest, happiest and most healthful occupation in which man can engage. Deacon's Family Partly Ancient. The presiding elder once happened into the Sunday school room in a certain church not far from St. Louis, and was invited by the superintendent, a very plous man, to question the scholars. After asking several questions he turned to one little fellow and asked, "Who was the father of Zebedee's children?" The boy, much confused, made no reply, and the question was repeated, but without result. "Come," said the elder, "you can surely answer that." Then, pointing to the superintendent, "Who is that man?" "Deacon Smith," replied the boy. "Well, who is the father of Deacon Smith's children?" "Yes; and if Deacon Smith is the father of Deacon Smith's children, who was the father of Zebedee's children?" The younger could hardly wait till the question was ended before he shouted trumphantly. "Deacon Smith."—Magazine of Fun. Busy All Day. A Pueblo woman expressed her feelings after a very busy day in this manner: "I have been so busy all day that I hardly knew which way to turn! I would just get ready to go one way when someone would call me another, until I am actually bowlegged." It is strange that women who have no trouble picking out a crochet pattern find it impossible to pick anything out of a timetable. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON Thos.

Judging by the light vote cast, as compared with the actual number of voters in the state, it would seem that the people as a whole do not care as much about it as some of its advocates have represented they did. It has undoubtedly eliminated some of the methods in vogue heretofore in the nomination system, and has put bosses out of business or rendered it difficult for them, but there are serious objections to the new law nevertheless. One is that it makes it very expensive for men to obtain a nomination, and a poor man ought to have as good a chance to obtain an office as a rich man. It is also expensive to the taxpayers. As to the popular nomination of United States senator, whose selection the legislature is supposed merely to ratify, the result is what The New Age predicted, a choice by a small plurality and a small fraction of the Republican vote of the state, which cannot be properly termed really a people's choice, at least not in a very large and impressive sense. While Mr. Cake has apparently received a small plurality and the nomination, Mr. Bourne in fact carried a far larger area and diversity of interests of the state as a whole than Mr. Cake. The latter carried this large city, and therefore may have won the nomination, but Mr. Bourne carried most of the other counties of the state, and about half the delegation from even this county are said to be favorable to him. Should not the representatives from those other counties vote for the choice of their local constituents rather than for a man whom they rejected at the polls? We are not making any specific argument, nor meaning to say that under the law this should be done, still less intimating that we prefer Mr. Bourne to Mr. Cake, only putting the case abstractly and using the result as to these two men as an illustration. Of course, if the law is carried out and Mr. Cake beats Mr. Gearin in June, it will be the duty of members of the legislature who signed "Statement No. 1" to elect Mr. Cake senator, but is the law in such a case working satisfactorily, and should candidates for the legislature so pledge themselves? Except legally and technically, did "the people" really instruct them or make a choice? If a candidate for United States senator receives say 15,000 out of 75,000 Republican votes in the state, a plurality of say 100 votes over his nearest competitor, is this as a matter of fact such a popular choice by the people as should bind the legislature? We think not, and yet there are good features about the law which may more than offset these grounds of criticism. [Since the above was in type, Mr Bourne's nomination, though not yet officially announced, seems certain.] RACE FOR GOVERNOR. The most interesting contest—in fact the only real one—on the state ticket in June will be that between Professor Withycombe and Governor Chamberlain. There may be something interesting as to the election of a United States senator next winter, and it is expected that Senator Gearin, whoever the Republican nominee may be, will get a good many more votes in June than the normal vote of his party. He is an able man and would make a good senator, but Oregon is a heavily Republican state and the Republican candidate will carry the state in June. This will doubtless be the case also with the office of supreme judge, though it is expected that Judge Halley may also run ahead considerably. As to the other offices the Republican candidates have a walkover, and those for representatives in congress as well. It is known and conceded that Governor Chamberlain is a strong candidate. He demonstrated this four years ago, as he had before. He possesses various elements of strength that are not to be ignored or despised. But since the Republicans have an excellent candidate and this is an overwhelmingly Republican state, it is unlikely that the governor can pull through again. If party amounts to anything voters ought to stick to their party with reference to such an important office as that of governor. In consequence of the election of a Democrat the state now has a Democrat for United States senator, for superintendent of the penitentiary, for game warden, and in other positions. This might well be endured if the Republican candidate were in any respect unworthy, but nobody can say this in this case. Dr. Withycombe is an educated man, a farmer, a good business man, identified with all the state's interests, and moreover has always been a loyal Republican. He should be elected and we think will be, and that Oregon will then again show up as a solidly Republican state. But he may have to hustle some. The governor is a good campaigner; he now has a very wide acquaintance in all parts of the state; he has a genial personality, and aside from too much traveling and political work, his record as governor is unassailable. So interest will center in the race for this office. POLITICAL PARTIES AND CHANGES. Those who undertake to make party operations a mere clash of personal likes and dislikes, ambitions and jealousies, lose sight entirely of the larger facts in the domain of politics, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Natural leaders arise whose exceptional usefulness to the principles of a party give them, as long as they are true to the right standard, an extensive following and influence, but the notion that any great party is to be swayed by personal squabbling is ridiculous. A party may be injured by an indulgence of such foolishness, but thereby loses sight of its mission and opportunities. The number of voters in this country is becoming so vast that their judgment must be reached by clearly defined aims in public policies, and the feudal political chieftain and his clan have ceased to be of importance in his favorite role of disturber. Some of the states have more than a million voters, and it is vain to attempt to lead them here and there by small, egotistical quarrels they have no desire nor time to think about. It is only by machine politics, the game of getting nominations far removed from the people, that the squabblers finds it worth while to pursue their spitework. An electorate of 15,000,000 in the country, with a correspondingly large distribution of voters in the states, must be appealed to by responsible parties on issues that deserve, and often compel, general consideration. Such questions may arise quickly and under unexpected circumstances. It was so in the summer of 1896. The Democratic party had been overwhelmed by defeat in the preceding two years, and its prospects were at the lowest ebb. But by adopting a new issue and choosing as a leader a man, who, nationally speaking, had been unknown, and who even gained entrance to the convention in a contested delegation, the party made one of the greatest fights in its history, polling immensely its largest vote. Nothing short of a phenomenally big vote on the other side averted the success of that surprisingly sudden change of front in the situation. As the country grows, such developments in politics must occur frequently. SAN FRANCISCO The tremendous catastrophe in San Francisco has almost completely absorbed public attention during the past week. While in many cases in other countries there have been greater losses of life, there was never probably so great a property loss in consequence of an earthquake, for while fire caused the greater part of the loss, it occurred as a direct consequence of the earthquake shock. It is a catastrophe that staggers the imagination and calls not only for the sympathy, but the liberal aid in all possible ways, which is being afforded by the people of the whole country, and none have acted more promptly and generously than those of Oregon. The campaign won't be excite * * * Coroner Finley couldn't be de * * * The colored people did their * * * Judge Webster will stay a term. * * * Few Democrats in the state scratch in. * * * San Francisco was a unique and particularly interesting city, and of vast wealth, commerce and business of all kinds, and it was in great part wiped out of existence. But it will no doubt be rebuilt, and before the lapse of very many years will rise greater than ever. An earthquake may occur there again at any time, but the chances are that the like will not happen again for a long time, and people will take the risk and the new city will be more solidly and scientifically constructed than the old, and will be better able to withstand such seismic disturbances. BOURNE FOR SENATOR. So, according to the returns at this writing, Mr. Jonathan Bourne has won the primary nomination for United States senator and will expect the legislature, if Republican, as it surely will be, to elect him. Mr. Bourne has made a strong, hard, and it appears successful, fight for the office he has so long coveted. He is a man of much ability, a "stayer" in a fight, and with practically unlimited financial resources, which he is never afraid to use when he takes a notion to do so. The wind-up of the contest, with regard to the returns, was very interesting. Up till Tuesday it appeared that Cake's nomination was assured and that Bourne had no chance at all, but the away-back counties all went heavily for Bourne, as against Cake, and wiped out the latter's plurality and gave about an equal amount to Bourne, so he will be the regular Republican nominee in June. Then the next interesting question will be: What will the legislature do? It will probably elect Bourne, as under the law he will be entitled to the office, and he is quite capable of making a very useful senator. TROUBLE IN THE SPRINGFIELDS The Springfields seem to be getting about as unenviable a notoriety as Paterson, N. J. It was at Springfield, Ohio, where a mob recently attacked the colored people of the town without any reasonable cause whatever, and it was from Springfield, Mo., that the following dispatch, printed this week, came: "Springfield this morning is a slumbering volcano. All is quiet on the surface, but there are 5,000 Negroes residing here in five settlements, and the officials expect rioting to break out. The officers are out with 35 bench warrants, charging first-degree murder against alleged leaders of the mob that lynched the Negro boys." Notice, some Negro boys, perhaps for only some trivial offense, had been lynched, and because the colored people of the town felt incensed at this, trouble was imminnt. If colored people had lynched a few white boys, there would also have been trouble, no doubt. We expect to hear from Springfield, Ill., and possibly Springfield, Mass., hereafter. RESULTS OF PRIMARIES. The New Age is pleased with the result of the primaries, in large part. It is especially gratified at the nomination of Dr. Withycombe for governor. Mr. G. A. Steel for state treasurer, Mr. Crawford for attorney-general, and Col. Gantenbein for circuit court judge. It supported these and some other successful, and some unsuccessful, candidates, but cannot complain, as it would have no right to do, anyway, at the general result. Most, if not all, of the Republicans selected by pluralities at the primaries will be elected as a matter of course, the principal exceptions to this statement being those for governor and for United States senator. We think Dr. Withycombe is the strongest man that could be put up against Governor Chamberlain, and should be loyally supported by all Republicans. The campaign won't be exciting. Coroner Finley couldn't be ousted. The colored people did their part. Judge Webster will stay another term. Few Democrats in the state can scratch in. Jonathan, Jr., had 'em guessing—and scared. There were necessarily many appointments. Mr. Johns was also badly mistaken in his strength. Bourne made a great home-stretch run in the count. The sheriff hasn't Jim Stott to run against this time. It is partly a Bourne delegation, or would like to be. About half the Republican vote of the state was cast. Governor Chamberlain is rustling; of course; he has to. Withycombe clubs are now being formed. That's right. Withycombe for governor. He was The New Age's choice. Mulkey, Eakin and Ackerman got there without a struggle. Four murders lately and only one of the murderers caught. The great San Francisco calamity kept many from the polls. Rand and Lachner, of Baker City, are among the "also rans." The next supreme court judge will come from Eastern Oregon. Let it be taken for granted that most of the best men won. Looks like our versatile friend Brownell would get in again. The people are to be congratulated on Mr. Pittock's narrow escape. It was a very light vote—people lacked interest, or were too busy. No use for young Charles Galloway to spend his time, money or breath. Hawley and Ellis will doubtless be elected representatives to congress. Can Mr. Stevens beat Sheriff Tom Word? is a question many are asking. Ex-Candidates Huston and Tooze will support Professor Hawley loyally. Mr. Steel is a splendid business man and will make a first-class treasurer. Baker county had too many candidates and none of them was nominated. The Republican legislative ticket in this county will doubtless all be elected. Mr. Bird will keep on flying, for that Shrievalty plum till he plucks it—maybe. A great disaster brings out the best traits of humanity—and in a few cases the worst. Though we were for Wrightman for secretary of state, here's congratulations to Mr. Benson. Though Judge Sears is a very fine man and judge, The New Age regrets Mr. Morrow's defeat. To be sure one is elected or nominated and then find one is beaten is a great disappointment.

San Francisco, April 23.—A thorough inspection made by a representative of the Associated Press, who made the trip in an automobile, shows that comparatively little damage was done in the vicinity of the Cliff. The Cliff House not only stands, but the damage sustained by the earthquake shock to this historic building will not exceed, according to the statement of Manager Wilkins, $500. In fact, the escape of the Cliff House is one of the curious features of the disaster which has befallen San Francisco. Trust Menaces the Cattlemen. Helena, Mont., April 23.—The North Montana Roundup Association, composed of cattlemen in Northern Montana, and representing $10,000,000 in individual holdings, at its annual session today issued a manifesto, in which the trusts, captains of industry and Wall street are severely criticised. After referring to the blight on the cattle industry, due, it is alleged, to the beef trust, the statement is made that it conditions are not better this season many owners will have to go into bankruptcy. Says Dowie Cheated Him. Chicago, April 23.—James Surrock, of New Mexico, today made complaint to the Federal authorities that he had been defrauded by John Alexander.

Some men lose sight of what God thinks of AITH in God does more than free from faults; it fills with fault-fighting force. It is wonderfully easier to go to church with a new coat than with an old one. Some men lose sight of what God thinks of them in their worry over what they think of God. Jesus is the way to heaven in the same manner as a river is the way to the sea. Destiny depends largely on the development of a sense of responsibility for others. Many who profess to love the pearl of price are only longing for the price of the pearl. If you are going to sit down at the feast of the Lamb you had better stand up for Him now. The most effective instruments for heavenly service are every-day tools we lend our Lord. Most of the bubbles for which we break our necks are blown by the breath of our own ambition. It's not the man with keen eyes for faults who will fix this world; it's the one with large faith in folks. A man may know whether he has treasure in heaven by watching whether his heart goes there. There are too many people willing to give a cup of cold water if they can only get it down the back of your neck. The fact that a man is conscientious in robbing the poor will not change the things the King will say to him at that day. Many women seem to think that Jesus said they must worship the Father in pride and style instead of in spirit and truth. A FRIEND IN NEED. When Baron Jutaro Komura came to America to meet, at Portsmouth, the representatives of the czar, he knew that however many concessions he might obtain for Japan, he could not satisfy the popular clamor among his countrymen. Some one, says a writer in World's Work, was bound to be disappointed. But he was assured also that however ill it might go with him, one friend at least would be waiting for him in Tokyo. "I warned him of what lay before him," said the Marquls Ito to an American woman. "I remembered well my experience in 1895. I remembered the treaty of Kyoto. I made that peace after a successful war. All my terms had been agreed to. I was satisfied. I was successful. The treaty was signed, and I came to lay it at the emperor's feet. There was to be no more fighting over that business. "How do you think I felt when France and Germany stepped in and tore my treaty to pieces, reversed its conditions, and took from Japan that which she had honestly won? "I shall never forget the pain of that moment. I remembered it keenly when Komura started for America. "My friend," I said to him, "you go with hurrahs and rejoicing and banzais. If you are received in the same way on your return I will not come to meet you. The nation will do that. You will not need me. But if things are otherwise, if, when you return, there are no shouts and rejoicings, if no other single soul comes forward to welcome you, count on me, for then I shall come to meet you." In the days of the Tokyo rioting, when the Japanese populace, enraged at the terms of the treaty, was threatening his life, Ito's assurance must have been a continual solace to the weary Komura. Proper Pride. "I don't like this talk about sending blackmailers to jail," said Roving Rufus to his comrade in alms. "Wah's the difference?" "You lack pride, that's what's the matter with you," retorted Rufus. "Do you suppose that when I go to jail I want to mix with that set?"—Philadelphia Ledger. Deserved to LIVE. In a rural justice court in Georgia recently an old negro, whose testimony had been questioned, sald in his own defense: "Jedge, I'm a good man. I been a-liv'n' roun' heen ten years. I ain't never been lynched; en de only horse I ever stoled throwed me en broke my two legs!"—Chicago Dally News. One on Grandma. "You shouldn't stay out late at night riding your wheel; people didn't stay out late in the good old days." "Didn't you ever hear of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, grandma?" —New York Press. Mending His Fortunes Mending His Fortunes. "Why do you suppose that damaged old widower got married again?" "Why, naturally, he wanted to get repaired."—Baltimore American. Even though a young man may consider a girl worth her weight in gold it's 10 to 1 that her father only awaits a chance to give her away. When a mother finds work she can do while sitting, that is her way of resting. THE NEW AGE, PORTLAND, OREGON FREE PLANS FROM BOSTON. Leading Architects Coming to Offer Services Gratis. Boston, Mass, April 24—Three of Boston's leading architects will proceed immediately to San Francisco, taking with them plans, specifications and contracts of the city's most recent schoolhouses, for the free use of San Francisco. Other parties of architects and draughtsmen are to be sent as gotten together. The Boston Typographical Union has voted $10,000 to lend San Francisco employing printers to re-establish their plants, in addition to relief voted for union members. Irreparable Loss to Masons San Francisco, April 24.—The Masons of California have suffered an irreparable loss by fire. The Masonic Temple on Post street was destroyed, and with it it went more than 150 portraits of past grand officers. Five hundred hand-embroidered uniforms belonging to members of California Commandery, No. 1, went up in the flames. In addition to this the paraphernalia and records of 20 Masonic bodies that used the temple as a meeting place were destroyed, as well as the records of the grand lodge.

Attendance at the sale was not up to expectations, and it was postponed for a season. ‘Then a new date was set and an advertisement placed in the local paper.

Most of the cases are young children, and in a good many Instances they are bitten on the hang or foot. In such a case the following remedy Is sald to be a splendid antidote for the rattler’s bite, provided It 1s used Immediately after being bitten: Take a pan or bowl and pour In enough ker. osene oll to cover the wound. It will draw the polson out Immediately and In the course of a few minutes turn per. fectly green; then pour out the oll and refill the bowl, being careful to put In enough oll to completely cover the wound. Leave the foot or hand in the oll as long as the ofl turns green. Then put on a poultice of plain table salt and saturate thoroughly with oll.

Occasionally, although rarely, it is an inherited tendency. The children of feeble parents may inherit a general weakness of constitution, and exhibit that weakness chiefly in their digestive processes. But sometimes this inheritance is only apparent, since a nervous and unstable mother may react on her children for ill, even if they do not inherit her tendencies, by excesses and uncertainty in her system of bringing up. Another and very frequent cause of malnutrition in the young is improper feeding. In babies it often results from some error in starting the diet, especially in artificially fed infants. If the digestion of a very young baby is allowed to get out of order, it is sometimes a long time righting itself, and all this time the child's general nutrition is necessarily suffering. With older children a poor and insufficient diet will naturally result in weak and anemic states, just as it will in older persons, but it is generally the opposite mistake that is made. An overfed child will suffer from poor nourishment quite as much and often more than an underfed one. The danger is not so much from an occasional overhearty meal, although that is a great mistake. An indiscretion that results in an acute attack of indigestion meets with the punishment that fits the crime; the offending matters are carried off from the system, and the transaction is closed, to say nothing of the fact that a salutary lesson has been given, which the parents may remember next green-apple season if the boy forgets. But the danger of malnutrition lies in the constant giving of a little more food than the system needs, causing fermentation, restlessness and discomfort, and resulting in such a lowering of the general condition that actual slow starvation may result, because the child is unable to digest enough food to feed it. A third cause of malnutrition in children, and one which is to be looked for chiefly among the poorer people and in tenements, is a wane of proper ventilation. Rooms are too hot and too crowded, or too cold and too crowded, windows are seldom or never opened, and plumbing is often defective. If the children of this class did not spend most of their time on the streets their mortality would be much higher; and even as it is, any epidemic finds its greater number of victims among them.-Youths' Companion. SILVER MINES. The Way Nature Forms These Deposits of Precious Metal. The process by which nature forms her silver mines is very interesting. It must be remembered that the earth's crust is full of water, which percolates everywhere through the rocks, making solutions of elements obtained from them. These solutions take up small particles of precious metal which they find here and there. Sometimes the solutions in question are hot, the water having got so far down as to be set boiling by the internal heat of the globe. Then they rush upward, picking up the blits of metal as they go. Naturally heat assists the performance of this operation. Now and then the streams thus formed, perpetually flowing hither and thither below the ground, pass through cracks or cravities in the rocks, where they deposit their lodes of silver. This is kept up for a great length of time—perhaps thousands of years—until the pocket is filled up. Cramles permeating the stony mass in every direction may become filled with the precious metal or occasionally a chamber may be stored full of it as if if 1,000,000 hands were fetching the treasures from all sides and hiding away a mine for some lucky prospector to discover in another age.

At any less depth it will work its way back to the surface. They say that a woman is whatever age she looks. Well, here is a sign she is over forty: Her hat is always on erooked.

Honey, which is described as "one of nature's best foods," is the subject of a report by the Ontario department of agriculture. In this it is pointed out that it is only within the past few centuries that sugar has become known and only within the last generation that refined sugars have become so low in price that they may be commonly used in the poorest families. Formerly honey was the principal sweet, and it was highly valued 3,000 years before the first sugar refinery was built. "It would add greatly to the health of the present generation," it is declared, "if honey could be at least partially restored to its former place as a common article of diet." Excessive use of sugar brings in its train a long list of lilies. When sugar is taken into the stomach it cannot be assimilated until first changed by digestion into grape sugar. Only too often the overtaxed stomach fails properly to perform this digestion, and then come sour stomach and various phases of indigestion and dyspepsia. In the laboratory of the hive the honey has been fully prepared by the bees for prompt assimilation without taxing either stomach or the kidneys, so that in eating honey the digestive machinery is saved work and health is maintained. Moreover, the same report says that "In many cases it will be a real economy to lessen the butter bill by letting honey in part take its place. One pound of honey will go as far as a pound of butter, and if both articles be of the same quality, the honey will cost the less. Honey is strongly recommended for children, while for persons of all ages a pleasant and wholesome drink is called 'German honey tea.' This is made by pouring a teacupful of hot water on from one to two teaspoonfuls of honey." He Hated Typewriters. The late Associate Justice Gray of the Supreme Court was very eccentric. Among his prejudices was a deep and lasting aversion for a typewriter. That machine did not come into general use until Justice Gray was an old man, and he never became reconciled to it. It maye him furious if a lawyer filed with him a motion or other court paper typewritten. He invariably returned it with a brusque request that the matter be written in longhand. He had a stenographer at his disposal, but never utilized his services, as he wrote all his letters as well as his opinions. He notified the clerk of the Supreme Court not to send him any typewritten paper, no matter how important it might be. He never neglected an opportunity to denounce typewriters. The result of his hatred for these machines was that he did three times as much work as the other justices. Lovett—You don't believe in divorce, then? Hayter—No, sir; I've got too much sportin' blood. Lovett—What has that to do with it? Hayter—I believe in a fight to the finish, Philadelphia Ledger. The Club Woman's Spouse.

SKIN DISEASES There is nothing more distressing than an itching, burning skin disease, and upon the return of warm weather those who are afflicted with skin troubles find the symptoms appearing and know that they will be tormented through the hot summer months. The blood is heated with humors and acrid matter, and as they are forced to the surface the skin seems to be on fire. The treatment of skin diseases with external applications is all wrong, because they do not reach the trouble which is in the blood. The most such treatment can be expected to do is, allay the itching and burning and cover up the trouble for awhile, but as soon as it is left off the disease returns. torpid, dull and sluggish, and fail to perform this duty, and these accumulations remain in the system and are absorbed by the blood to ferment and sour, producing burning acids and acrid humors. The blood cannot properly nourish the system while in this impure condition, and begins to throw off these acids through the pores and glands of the skin, producing Acne, Eczema, Tetter, Psoriasis, Salt Rheum and skin diseases of every description. EOZEMA appears usually with a slight redness of the skin, followed by pustules from which there flows a sticky fluid that dries and forms a crust, and the itching is intense. It is generally on the back, breast, arms, legs and face, though other parts of the body may be afflicted. In TETTER the skin dries, cracks and bleeds; and is often very painful. The acid in the blood dries up the natural oils of the skin, causing a dry, feverish, hardened condition and giving it a leathery appearance. AGNE makes its appearance on the face in the form of pimples and black-heads, and is particularly disagreeable because of its unsightly appearance, while PSORIASIS, a scaly disease, comes in patches on different parts of the body. One of the worst forms of skin disease is SALT RHEUM. It discharges a watery fluid, forming sores and producing intense itching. The head and face are the parts usually affected, and sometimes the hair falls out and a mass of sores forms on the scalp. These and all skin diseases are due to the same cause—burning acids and humors in the blood, and until this vital fluid is cleansed and made pure they will continue. The best treatment for all skin diseases is S. S. S., a remedy that is purely vegetable, being made entirely from roots, herbs and barks, and acts directly on the blood with a cleansing, healing effect. It neutralizes the acids and purifies the blood so that the skin, instead of being blistered and burned by the fiery fluids, is nourished by a supply of cooling, healthy blood. It goes down into the circulation and forces out every particle of waste or foreign matter, blood. Nothing equals S. S. S. in the treatment of these troubles and for building up the general health.
