A coward, and God hates a coward, writing over the psuedonynr of "Jo tice" in last Sunday's Oregtmian takes the relief committee to task because it has not published a statement of what has been done with the money contrib uted bv Portland and other cities to the relief of the sufferers by the great fire. This is well enough and might pass. The committee owe it to themselves to publish such a statement and in all likelihood will indue time, but "Jus tice" knows he lies deliberately and with malicious purpose; when he talks of healing of only two persona obtainicg relief. The coward dare not present such a statement for publication to any newspaper in this city. It's gross and malicious falsity would make him ashamed to do so. He has sent it to Portland that under the cover of a nom-de-pluine he might conceal a name he would not dare to own where the facts are known. Eut the animus of the communication is perfectly apparent. The writer is some low hound who got all he could out of the committee and then because he could rtet get all he wanted he takes this revenge. While the committee may not have always acted with the best judgment, and pos sibly do not make pretsnsions that they did, they performed a great deal of hard, thankless work and we have no doubt afforded relief in every instance where they thought it was needed. . It is leeomine more doubtful every day that any free coinage bill will be naaeed bv the present congress. Demo cratic opinion is said to be changing verv raDidlv not simply as to toe wisdom of the measure but as to it? merits. It is perfectly evident that this change is being effected less from principle than nolicv. The nartv that so vigorously denounced republican demonetization when in the minority now find them selves in power with an elephant on their hands. A free silver plank in the nlatform would break the party in two : so it is said. They would have to say good-bye to Jew tngiana, to tne nnauie states and to such states as Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa and Michigan. Then, too, leadine German papers have served notjice that the German vote will leave in a body on a free coinage issue. So principle must be sacrificed to exped iency as it is more important to hold of fice than to be consistent, and easier to bear the charge of a stultified record than to be ousted from power. MEHaMsliaaMBHaalllWsMaallllW The Denver News, a paper that is an earnest advocate of free trade us a na tional economic policy, with an incon sistency that is delightful to a protec tionist thus argues in favor of fostering the industries that lie nearest to us. The same principles applied to the na tion which the Neun applies to the state are all that the most ardent protection ist could ask. It is for the general interest to patron ize articles of home manufacture in every line of trade in which a supply can be had, because we thus increase the labor employing capacity of the state and keep , Immn in .irfn Li linn . Whpn HI 11 1 ) .IVI.l. ... . .... - we give preference to goods that must be' ordered irom distant localities, we turn the cold shoulder to home enterprise and help thoso who do nothing for the state in return. We equally retard the general prosperity when we loose an op portunity to promote the development of the state's natural resources. Co-relation and interdependence so permeate our modern society that industrial activ ity of a marked character in any line is far-reaching in its influences and bene fits. Multuomah county- has added two mills to its tax levy, which will raise a fund of $50,000 to be devoted to the im provement of its public roads. ' Th county court has gone still farther and has secured by right of purchase several rock quarries and gravel beds and two stone crushers, and with these equip ments and material it is expected that the money spent upon the county roads will not entirely disappear in the winter mud. The two mills added to the tax levy of this county will not do much, it is true, relatively, where so much is needed to.be done, but the sum that will accrue, if judiciously expended, as we trust it shall be, will afford immense relief to some sections and the precedent once established of making special pro vision for county roads in the annual tax levy will not be hastily abandoned bj county courts in the future. When the Reform Journal went out of ita wav to characterize the strange as "a dead cock in the pit so far as any good in reforming anything is concerned, as a thing that has "gone to seed, out lived its usefulness and should be gath ered to its fathers" it bit off considerably more than it will ever be able to masti cate. The grange was ne ver in a health ier or more vigorous condition than it is today. As an educational force among the tillers of the soil, and as a permanent place for consultation and social inter course it has exercised a pewerfuf. and benificent influence upon farming com munities for more than a score of years, and it is a safe prediction that it will continue to maintain a vigorous and useful existence when some of the crack brain theories advocated by this Reform Journal, shall be remembered only to be laughed at. No wonder the great civilized nations of the world-are slow to adopt the arbit rament of war in settling their disputes. The progress of improvements ia inven tions for the destruction of life and property is such that they are incentives to peace rather than promoters of strife. The new German artillery, which will shortly be introduced, is said to be the most terrible war instrument ever pro duced. Experiments made at the Inter bogk ranges deeply impressed the ex perts, the Kaiser being present. The first shot fired at a target placed fifty Eaces from a wood, missed the target, ut ploughed its way through the wood for 1500 feet The splinters of a shell burst by the new powder over a circle of 900 feet. A shell fired at an enormous target, constructed by the emperor's orders, covered it with tens of thous ands of holes. A battery of the new artillery would, it is assured, annihilate an entire division, once the range was found. Whatever one may think of the gen eral sanity of Emperor William of Ger many there can be only one opinion as to the soundness of his views on the liquor question so far at least as they re'late to two measures he is seeking to incorpor ate into the laws of the Empire. One is a provision that no spirituous liquors' shall be 'sold to any lads under sixteen years of age except in the presence of their parents or guardians, the other is that no intoxicating drink shall be sold to any habitual drunkard. The fact that the statistics of German insanity show a direct ratio to those of intemperance (twenty-eight per cent, of, insane per sons in the Rhine provinces having lost their reason through excessive drinking,) is evidence of the necessity of some leg islation ou the subject. The democratic members of both houses of congress will not strengthen their party in Oregon and Washington by opposing Senates Dolph's bill for the refunding to the settlers on even-numbered sections of land within the limits of the grant to the Northern Pacific which was declared forfeited, the differ ence between the price paid of $2.50 an acre and $1.25, which is the difference between lands within and without rail road grants. Every democrat on the senate corn in ttee is said to be opposed to the bill and will fight it. to the bitter end. If it pass the republican senate it will be killed in the house. This may be a sample of democratic economy, but It is a piece of flagrant injustice to the first settlers, who had to pay $2.50 an acre while the later ones are allowed to secure the lands lying alongside at half that price. A classifaction of the poor of New York City by the secretary of the So ciety for the Improvement of the Condi tion of the Poor shows that nearly one Juilf of the large number of cases of poverty are the direct result of exces sive dram drinking. Next to this it was found that' habitual dependence on charity had sapped the independence of a number estimated at twenty per cent., while of the entire army of the poverty stricken of the great city only twenty per cent, are classified as "meritorious poor." One of the most powerful implements of war ever invented is the Hotchkiss rifled gun recently tested at Hartford. Conn. It is capable of throwing a des tructive conical shell a distance of ten miles and of piercing the armor of the strongest ironclads afloat. In its silent strength it will preach as persuasive a sermon on "peace on earth" if not good will to men as could possibly spring from human effort or as ever fell upon the ears of the nnregenerate sons of Adam. The Eatt Oreyonian is crying for taffy from its Portland namesake. The Lallei Chronicle. . Heretofore you have accused us being in needtof soothing syrup. Probably you are envious and in need of a bath. East Oregonian. Thanks. Just had one. It is the cor rect thing, however, to give babies taffy after medicine. A touching story comes oyer the wires from San Diego county, California. A Mrs.' Mary Gregory, postmistress of Vil- jas, falsined ner returns to procure means to buy food for her children. She was tried for the offence and fined $50. Friends furnished the money to pay the fine and the woman was libera ted. There are 100,000 panpers in the city of London alone while the Salvation Army people estimate that to provide for the helpless "tenth" throughout Great Britain would, at an estimate of sixteen cents a day, require a charity fund of $365,000,000 per annum. The, New York Prest tells how a woman reformed her husband from the smoking habit. A contract was entered into, the prime condition of which was that she was to buy the cigars. He smoked one and quit. Portland will strongly resent the ac tion of the Astoria chamber of com merce in sending a set of resolutions to congress urging that instead of appro priating money for deepening the chan nel of the Columbia from Portland to the sea the money be given to the Cas cade locks and the Dalles portage. And yet if the greatest good to the greatest number isagoodleconomic policy, Astoria is right. The deepening of the channel would benefit Portland the opening of the river would benefit three states. It is now positively asserted"that not withstanding all report to the contrary there never was any question of the postponement of the wedding of Miss Mattie Mitthell, daughter of Senator John H. Mitchell and that that event will take place as announced on the 11th instant. The bannt of marriage between Francois Alfred, Duke de La Rochefou cauld and Mies Mattie Elizabeth Mitch ell have been already announced in Paris. The tax levy of Baker county is 32 mills. A man over there who has to pay 3 2-10 per cent, tax on the face value of a mortgage (and the borrower always pays the tax directly or indirectly) will appreciate a law that was intended-for the capitalist but which alas! invaria bly cinches the wrong man. Clatsop and Jackson counties, like Wasco aad Multnomah,, have ignored the findings of the state board of equal ization, and made their county levies on the basis of the county equalization boards' figures. Twenty-five lumber manufacturers, mostly from the south, have issued a call for a convention at Washington, D. C, on February 23 to protest against free lumber. Slit. HOLMAN'S ECONOMY. I. . Liable to Expand When It Cornea to an j Tndian Appropriation. E. V. Ayres In the Kansas City Times: Mr. Holm an, of Indiana, chairman of the appropriation committee, has won great reputation as an economist. There are few bills he does not want reduced, and many come in for a square fight for their lives. So Holman has gained the sobriquet of "The Watch dog." But it has been noted on some occasions with rage, on others with mirth, that an Indiana appropriation has a much better time with Holman than those of others States. "The Watch-, dog" is warmly given to his own State, and public moneys ment for her decor ation and delight make quite a hit with Holman. On one occasion, just after the Rep resentative from Indiana had sat upon and crushed the puling life out of some baby appropriation from some other state, along come a bill which sliced off something over a million to Indianapolis. "Now this, . gentlemen," said the "Watchdog" with a sauve, ingratiating air, '.'I take to be a very meritorious measure." The sharp contrast between IIol man's bitter-opposition the little alien appro priation and his smooth greeting of the one which was to fill the Tap of his own state urged Dockery, of Missouri, to smiling sarcasm. "The chairman's sudden change of " tone," said he "when brought from the contemplation of appropriations meant for other states to those aimed at Indi ana reminded me strongly of the lines of Byron where one reads : " 'Tis sweet to bear the watchdog's honest bark Bay docp-nmuthed welcome as e draw near "home." The roar of committee delight which followed killed the Indiana appropri ation. By such sleights are laws made . and public money spent or eaved. A Proaperoua Year. Tiie winter has been a remarkable one--in many respects ; the rainfall has been unusually heavy and every drop of it penetrated the soil. The lowest temper ature has been about 25 degrees above,, and this only for a few hours. The snow fall has been light and remained on the ground but a few days. Fall grain is looking splendidly, and the fruit pros pects are fine, though tho strawberry vines have suffered slightly in places owing to the alternate freezing and thawing of the ground to a depth of an inch or two, which lifted some of them. With no heavy frosts in the spring the peach crop should lje the best ever raised here, and the orchards snouio yield abundantly.' It does not seem nopsible that the ground can dry out be fore fall, for at present it is thoroughly saturated. Taken all in all, the outlook for our fruit-growers was never better than it is today. Hood River Olacier. , The following sentiments of a veteran of the civil war have been handed us for publication": ' "Intemperance is the greatest curse of modern times. It robs us of our ablest and best men. It blights our homes, fills our asylums and almshouses, takes from the lips of thou sands the common necessaries of life, and annually consigns thousands to a drunkard's grave and a drunkard's hell. It is a blot upon our boasted civilization and gives the lie to our pretentions of being a Christian nation. The temper ance question is the gravest question before the American people today. It has come to this shall law and order, industry and sobriety, or rum, with all its damning, blighting influence rule the country? Ed Calkins,. Hood River. The winter is quite severe in Malheur county, snow two feet deep, and the ranchmen have been feeding for two ' months. It is now thought that Lawyer Gilbert of Portland will be the successful man in the contest for the judgeship of the ninth district. J
