CITY OFFICIAL PAVER.
THURSDAY, DEC. 20, 1000.
AN ABLE DOCUMENT.
One of the ablest political documents
of recent times is William J. Bryan's
letter to the public, which appeared in
the Chicago American on the 10th. It is
his first review since election of the po
litical situation and outlook. Without
assailing Gmver Cleveland by so much
as a single word, Mr. Bryan briefly but
completely marshalls the facts in connec
tion with .Mr. Cleveland's second term
so as to make them tell their own story
of treachery on the tariff question and
party disruption .on .the money question.
This recapitulation of facts will not be
relished by Cleveland's admirers. But
it is difficult to guess what objections
they can urge against the reasons Bryan
recites to justify the reiteration of the
silver plank in the campaign of 1900. He
makes out a perfect case, both upon the
score of expediency and of common hon
esty. And while he admits that the re
publican party was able to make use of
this action on the silver question to
threaten borrowers and scare bank de
positor*, he truly says that "this could
not have been avoided without a com
plete surrender to the influences which
control the republican party." Inci
dentally he administers a merited rebuke
to'the men who call themselves demo
crats but who in the recent campaign
urged "opposition to silver as a reason
for defending trusts, a large army and an
imperial policy." But what is calculated
most to strengthen the confidence of
those democrats who believe in Bryan's
democracy, and to draw others of their
kind toward him, is his brief but vital
discussion of the shifting issues of politi
cal campaigns. Because no one can
foresee events, no one in 189(> could tell,
he says, what would be the tiaruiuauut
<vm Tie' "Hie paramount issue of 1004.
But, he continues:
"While it'ioiii? can foresee events, par
ties, like individuals, can have fixed and
definite principles and can apply these
principles to new issues as they arise.
The man who i.- 1 determined to obey the
cominandment, 'Thou shalt not steal,'
cannot foresee what temptation may
come to him or what emergencies he may
have to meet, but he can know that he
will not take that which belongs to an
other, no matter how great the tempta
tion may be."
In this habit of meeting the shifting
problems of daily life by reference to ab
solute principle, trying both to know and
to apply the principle aright, lies the
strength •>? Mr. Bryan's character and
the teiw-ioMS quality of his popularity.
It is also the explanation of his unpopu
larity. The man who truly makes prin
ciple his mentor and guide is a dubious
character to a large proportion of man
kind. They don't that mode
of life. There would seem, at any rate,
to be no other reasonable explanation of
the bitterness of hate which a large class
of conventionally good people exhibit
toward this young man of manifest
ability, of proved moral character and of
stainless life. He lives in the concrete
■what they only preach in the abstract.
The llekald wishes its patrons, one
and all, a Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year.
W. J. Bryan has announced that he
will shortly begin the publication of a
weekly newspaper at Lincoln, Nebraska,
and it is safe to assume that it will im
mediately reach an immense circulation.
The Willapn Pilot, one of our most
welcome exchanges, appeared last week
as a five column quarto, all home print,
and gave evidence of otlrer improve
ments, all denoting a deserved increase
of business.
A primary election law, modeled after
a statute of the state of Minnesota, is l»e
--ing advocated, and will be pushed before
the coming session of the legislature, in
an effort to purify politics and abolish
machine-bossed conventions. The ide
is a good one, but hardly goes far enough.
Bossism in political parties exists only
by reason of the indifference of the aver
age voter in the matter of primaries and
conventions, and, to overcome this in
difference, voting at the primary elec
tions should be made compulsory. It
would be well to insert a clause making
the vote at the primaries a necessary
qualification to vote at the election
proper, unless good and sufficient excuse
for failure be given.
The principal item of McKinley pros
perity for the current week, the suspen
sion of the Faterson (N. J.) Ribbon
company, is the climax to a succession
of stoppages of the large industries of
that place which have occured since the
election. This ribbon company began
business in 1883; it has a plant worth
$500,000; and creditors will be paid in
full. The reason given for its suspension
is "general business depression."
L. R. Brooks, of Los Angeles, Cal., is
in the city, preparing an interesting work
on "Grays Harbor, Its Resources." The
work is to be a small, handsome volume
devoted to the industries and resources
of Grays Harbor, and will vary from all
previous efforts in this direction, in that
it will in no sense be a private advertis
ing medium, but, if properly circulated,
will do much to advertise the resources
of this favored region. The work is to
contain not less than 3C> pages, and have
no less than 30 half tone illustrations.
The reading matter will he descriptive of
Aberdeen and vicinity, anil will be just
the thing to mail to eastern friends, ami
to prospective investors. As no adver
tising matter is inserted, Mr. Brooks
only asks the guaranteed sale of 1500
copies at ten cents each, and so far he is
meeting with a very liberal response
from the people of this city.
The state supreme court has decided,
in the case of the Wash on gal River Im
provement Co. vs. The Skamania Log
ging Co., that where logs are driven by
a boom company without the solicitation
of the owner, entitled to a common use
of the stream, a lien for such driving can
not be maintained, and that the powers
of the corporation did not vest in plaintiff
the exclusive use of the stream for log
ging purposes. This decision is directly
contradictory of that rendered, Nov. 11,
1898, hv this same court, in the case of
the East Iloquiam Boom Co. vs. Clias.
Neesou, in which case it held thatNeeson.
was obliged to pay the boom company
for driving his logs, whether he wished
them driven by the company or not, and
that the corporate powers of the com
pany practically gave the corporation a
lien upoli all timber situate upon that
river, that had to be floated to market.

Buying groceries isn't altogether a matter of price. Some
people are curious enough to want to know what they are
eating, and whether the article is what it is represented to
be or not. This is just the class of trade we are seeking.
We like to sell groceries to people who want and appreciate
pure food products at fair prices. You will find that kind at
our store.
