As both political parties in Oregon declared for tho abolition of the con tract labor system It is to be pre sumed that when the present con tract expires there will bo no re newol of the same by tho legisla ture unless in some way the people reverse their decision or give the legislature instructions otherwise. As all know, the present contract for employment of convict labor ex pires and it will be Incumbent upon the next legislature to tako some action. No one proposes that the con victs shall not be employed. Tho question to bo discussed is how shall they be kept at work, and It Is none too early to discuss that. Tho laborers of tho nation aro objecting to any competition what soever with cheap or degraded labor. They object to competition with tho products of cheap or dograded labor. They argue, and correctly, that the constant eflect of competition Is to drive down tho reward of labor to n starvation basis. They objoot to this natural process being ar tificially hastened by any polloy of the government which they aro taxed to support. Hence their ob jection to tho convicts being let to contractors by tho state at a low price of wages to compete with the products of freo labor and tax-paying law-abiding citizen labor. The duty of tho next legislature will be to solvo this problem. The Jofbnaii does not want the convict to be an Idlor. It does not want him to take employment from tho free laborer. It belloves a happy solution oilers itself. At every session of tho legislature bills are passed appropriating money to construct highways la differant parts of the state. As these bills have been declared unconstitu tional, could not tho convicts bo employed to work the roads? Could not durable stato roads be constructed on u founda tion of broken rock ? Could uot tho convicts be employed to do this work? If Baker county wanted to build a highway could not tho state furnish it with a baud of cheap laborers us well ttB to furnish cheap labor to a firm of Portland contract ors? If tho county raid tho state hut 25 ctfl. a day would not that be cheaper and more satisfactory for both and be u cheap way to build utalo roads? If tho convicts built highwuys that would not otherwise bo constructed, could it bo mid that this would compete with free labor? The press should tuko up and dis cuss this matter. Tho state is In greater need of good wagon roads than of moro railroads or oven u world's fuir exhibit. We believe tlie convicts could bo so employed ou this class of much needed publlo work as uot to conflict or compute with freo labor, which Is uot now t ho case. ROYAL IS THE Best Baking Powder lOitflin ATTACKING HKPU1ILICAN1SM. There are those who see in the discussion of tho federal Judgeship In theso columns only attacks ou .Republicanism, as they aro pleased to term it. Tjii: Jovhsmj denies that It has made any attacks on Itepubllcans. It claims ou the con trary that it has tried to protect the party agaiiiBt men who are themselves attacking the party and doing all In their power to render it vulnerable. Does any Republican pretend for Instance that the ap pointment of Joseph Simon of Port land will strengthen, unify and popularize tho Republican party of Oregou? We have found uoue such, not even among tils friends. The law firm, of which he has been a member, is corporation attorneys, In Itself not a crlmo, hut a highly profitable and lucrative employ ment. If tho Itepublicaus of Ore gon could not elect D. P. Thompson governor because he was a cor poration uiuii, how can tho appointment of still greater coporutloulsts boa benefit to the people or a means of saving grace politically to the Republican party? Wecoufess we cm uot see It. In the Hluiou law firm, parter ship, or association, Is Puul Deady, a eon of Judge Deady, No one charges Judge Dcady with being politically a corrupt man, yet all are familiar with hU frantic efforts to get a member of thoHImon law firm appointed to sit with him on the Me ml bench. Does anyone pre tend that Judge Deady's eflorls to have a Judge selected from (hut firm are lo the Intercuts of true Republi canism? What Is a Republican paper to do? Is It to keep still while so called Republican leaders make merchandise of the party patronage? Or shall it attaok them and defeat their ends 7 We conn we see no way out but to atiaek them at ene mies of true RepublleauUm. Disinterested Republicans have a right' to protest against these men The Official Government Reperts: The United States Government, after elaborate tests, reports the Royal Baking Powder to be of greater leav ening strength than any other. (Bulletin 13 Ag. Dep.,p. 599.J. The Canadian Official Tests, recently made, show the Royal Baking Powder highest of all 'in leavening strength. (Bulletin 10, p. 16, Inland Rev. Dep.) In practical use, therefore, the Royal Baking Powder goes further, makes purer and more perfect food than any other. Government Chemists Certify: ,fThe Royal Baking Powder is composed of pure and whole some ingredients. It docs not contain either alum or phosphates, or other injuiious substances. Edward G.Love, Ph.D." 44 The Royal Baking Powder is undoubtedly the purest and most reliable baking powder offered to the public. "Henry A. Mott, M.D., Pu.D." 44 The Royal Baking Powder is purest in quality and highest in strength of any baking powder of which I have knowledge. m 44 Wm. McMurtrie, Ph. D." sitting as administrators without bonus upon tho chattels of political power, and disposing of tho otllces among themselves, In their own pri vate circles, not to say In their own private Interests. These men both trample upon tho rights of the peo ple and their efforts tend to destroy the Republican party. Senator Sherman has receutly said that the administration of tho patronago was tho worst thing tho Republican party had to contend with. Its improper administration has cost tho party more votes than nuy other 0110 cause, for the reason that abuses of tho appointing power go di rectly to shako tho confldouco of tho disinterested citizen In the party as a whole. The newspaper that calls attention to the designs of solflsh moil upon the party patronage is not an enemy of tho party, but Its truest friend. Tho pelllsliuesa of ambitious spoilsmen and spoils vendors is tho greatest enemy the party has to contend with. SlKiniMTJSI) OOMMKNT. It will now bo In order to think about Christmas presents.

Somo of tho wool of tho wild sheep to bo foutid near Auacortes was sent loan Eastern manufacturer lately, Tho sample measured twenty-six Inches in length, and was a surprise to all who saw It, tho man ufacturer stating that It was tho longest specimen of sheep's wool ever heard of.

It Is be lieved this nfl'alr Is not duo to nuy feollug against tho army regulations or rations served, but entirely the rasult of a feollug outortaluod lu tho city by privates of tho Second bat talion, Prlnco of Wales' LehiHtor reglmont (Tho Royal Canadians) against a corporal who hadtakea ad vantage of a little authority given him to mako life as unpleasant as possible for thoso placed under him by his party tyrannies. Tho corpor al rendered himself obnoxious to the men, who mako complaint to tho higher ofllcers, which was uot noticed, So bitterly angry did they hecomo ugalust tho corporal that they concluded the only way to avcugo themselves was to kill him. As tho corporal was doing his rounds ho was seized by tho men, He attempted to cull for assistance, but his cries wero speedily silenced by a gag. Desplto his struggles, he was dragged to a convenient spot, a nooso thrown around his neck and ho was soon suspended in tho air. The end of tho ropo was mado fast, and the self-appointed excutlonors decamped. Fortunately, the cor poral had been hanging for only a short time when tho sergeant dis covered him and cut tho rope. The cororal was almost dead, and It required thu most stremious eflbrts on the part of the surgeon and assist ants to rcsuscltato him.
