The Chbonicle is not a party paper
. and ia therefore not necessarily called
upon to defend the character of the rep
ublican county ticket, but when men
whose Bense of decency ought to teach
them better, sneeringl y refer to it as
"temperance ticket" it ia right and
ironer to enter an earnest protest. ' Has
. it come to this that a man is to be polit
ically ostracised because be cannot or
will not drink liquor, not to say make
sot of himself? Is temperance a dis
qualification for office in Wasco county?
It has been a subject of common remark
that few men who have held the lucra
tive offices of this county for the past
score of years have left them better off,
financially, than when then entered
upon their duties. Were the men in
question any more respected on this ac
count? We cannot think so. The
sneer. about a "temperauce ticket" is in
bad taste. The people certainly don't
want an intemperance ticket and the
name intended as opprobrious is the
very highest compliment that could be
paid it.
The prophecies of protectionists that
if proper encouragement were extended
to the tin industry, the United States
could, in a reasonable time, produce its
own tin, have commenced to be realized
and the first consignment of 22,000
pounds of American tin arrived in New
York a couple of days ago from the Ta
mescal mines in California. The tin is
said to be of the best quality, equal to
the foreign Straits and is only the ad
vance guard of what is to follow. There
can scarcely be a reasonable doubt that
if the protection thrown around this in
fant industry by the McKinley law is
allowed to work its way, in a compara
tively short time the United States will
produce her own tin, of as good quality
as there is in the world, and at a lower
price than we have ever paid for the
imported article.
The Union county republicans held
their county convention last Wednesday
and among others adopted the following
reaolutions : - ." -
Resolved, Thatwe as republicans be
lieve that the history of the republican
nartv in the past has shown it to be a
friend to all needed reform, therefore,
we as members of this grand old party,
do agree to discourage the use of mtoxi
eating liquors in the coming' campaign
Whereas, The large fees and compen
sation allowed by the special law giving
sheriffs and clerks one-third additional
compensation over and above the regu
lar" fees of other officers is unfair and
imposes burdens upon the taxpayers of
Union countv. Therefore,
Resolved, That our candidates for the
legislature are hereby pledged to use
their utmost endeavors to secure the re
peal of said laws at the next session of
the legislature, and that our candidates
for the offices of sheriff and clerk are
pledged not to work or use their influ
ence against the repeal of the same.
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
convention that a law should be enacted
providing that all official? fees shall be
paid into the county treasury and offi
cials paid reasonable salaries.
The first of these resolutions has a
particularly right ring about it. The
Chbonicle ij in no sense a prohibition
organ but it heartily says "God speed
the day when' character, efficiency and
honesty will have more potency in a
political campaign than a beer keg or a
whiskey demijohn.
While Oregon is doing practically
siothing to reap anv reward from a
proper exhibit of her resources at the
"world's fair, California is looking into a
future beyond the fair, in which the fair
exhibit will be made a permanent con
tribution to the state's prosperty. A
meeting will be held, in San Francisco
on the 4th inst., at which it is proposed,
to get a united effort of the local world's
fair committee, board of supervisors
Mechanics' Institute, board of trade and
real estate exchange, to join in endeavor
after the world's fair to have the Cali
fornia building and entire - exhibit
brought to San Francisco and place'd
permanently in Golden Gate Park.
ne ueppner Uazetle says it is gener
ally understood that W. R. Ellis has the
entire delegation from the seventh judic
ial district on his side for nomination
for congress from this . district. The
friends of Mr. Ellis also claim that he
has practically the whole of the sixth
judicial district and that he will be the
second choice of the majority of i!ele'
gates from other sections. This should
secure his nomination if the valley
counties carry out their pretentions of
concerting the nomination to an Eastern
Oregon man. . .
One of the boldest political schemes of
a national character ever planned in
Colorado has just came to light. The
King Solomon mining company, of
Creede, has sent agents to eastern cities
to create a free silver sentiment, before
the conventions meet at Minneapolis

It now appears that the prohibition
party of Multnomah county will have to
do the business of nominating a county
ticket all over again. Section 31 of the
Australian ballot law provides that can
didates must be nominated in one of
three ways. One is by a convention of
delegates representing a political party
which at the election next preceeding
polled at least 3 per cent, of the entire
vole cast in the state, precinct, or other
electoral district for which the nomina
tions were made. As the prohibition
party had no ticket in the field in 1890,
the convention which met in Portland
last-Wednesday had no power to make
nominations under this provision
.Neither had it power under the provis
ion that allows an organized body of
electors, numbering not less than 1C0,-to
make nominations, as there were only
52 electors in the county assembly. It
appears that the convention in question
acted illigally in delegating, the work of
nominating a county ticket to a com
mittee which had not completed the
work when the convention adjourned.
As leading men of the party in Multno
mah county have announced their de
termination to place a full county ticket
in the field it is quite likely that another
assembly of county electors will be called
together to do the work.
Grant county made the mistake of ac
cepting the. findings of the Btate board of
equalization, which increased the values
on certain clases of 'property in that
county and now the Blade advisea the
taxpayers not to pay the advance to the
sheriff1, on the ground that should the
supreme court decide adversely to the
state board the tax-payers would have
difficulty in getting their money back
"Keep your money until you have to
pay it" savs the Blade: ' then, and not
till then will be time enough to pay,
Thanks to the wisdom of the county
court of Wasco county we are spared
such confusion here. -
The republicans of Umatilla county
have also put themselves on record as
favoring a law that shall provide for
reasonable, just and equitable system of
salaries for county officers. Tiie Chron
icle, if we mistake not, was the first
newspaper in Oregon to advocate this
reform and now one or other of the two
great political parties in some half
dozen counties in Eastern Oregon have
taken the matter up in - their county
conventions.
There is a refreshing frankness in the
following from the Athena Press:
We advise the leading lights of the
different political parties to see this
shop at once, on a matter of business
that would not do for our readers to
know or in other words, somebody has
ot to "whack np" shortly. e want a
brick building and a power press out of
this campaign.
And now the ingenious heathen Chinee
is evading the restriction act by coming
to British Columbia, being naturalized
as a subject of Great Britain and moving
intp the United JStates as a British sub
ject". "
Special Agent Seavery, according to
instructions from the commissioner of
the general land office, has investigated
the matter of setting apart a suitable
number of sections of land around the
the base of Mount Hood for a public
park and is prepared to make a favorable
report, and "an tnat is now needed says
the Oregonian "is A recommendation
from some respectable body of citizens to
back up that of Mr. Seavery." As Mr,
Seavery goes to Washington in a few
days, where he would give the matter
personal attention, it would surely not
be out of place if the republican- state
convention, that meets in Portland on
the Cth would pass a resolution making
the recommendation required.
The republican convention of Jackson
county refused to instruct its delegates
to the state convention but it is under-
stoood that a majority is in favor of
Hermann for congress with Miller as
second choice. '

The Goldendale Snttnel says i If The
Dalles Chronicle wishes to publish
Klickitat news we would like to know
why it don't copy from some more
reliable source than the Leader. The
Chronicle has no proof that there is
any more reliable source than the Leader,

gressional district. His competitors
Tongue, Geer and Miller are not cntting
any great figure in their opposition.
The East Oregonian has discovered
that "the greatest men of the ages have
worn the cheapest clothes." Then
brother Jackson, to prove the truth of
his-own aphorism, ought to dress in rags.
Keterring to a remark concerning our
fellow townsman Hugh Glenn, that
lately appeared in the Oregonian, the
1 tmes-Muhneer says : "Dunne our resi'
oence in tms city ot over a quarter of
century we never knew before that Mr,
Glenn was a "democratic war-horse," or
really exercised any influence in politics,
He has never been elected to any office
by the suffrages of his fellow citizens.
and tne position ne - now occupies as
member of the water commission was an
appointive one by the mayor. As one of
ose named in the bill he is in the office
by virtue of the adoption of the amended
charter, and not by the votes of the elec
tors of tne municipality of Dalies (Jity
inereiore nis opinions on political mat'
ters carries little or no weight."
Let us apply this charming spec
iraen ot backwoods logic to the
Mutineer man himself. He has never
been elected to any office by the
suffrages . of his - fellow citizens,
ine ran tor water commissioner one
time and got eleven votes!) He is
editor of an alleged newspaper by virtue
of the mysterious act of an inscrutable
Providence, as Horace Greely would
have said Thereore his opinions on any
matter, political or otherwise, carries lit'
tie or no weight.
The following unanswerable argument
is advanced by the Pasco Headlight as a
reason for opening the Columbia and
Snake rivers: "If God Almighty had
not intended these rivers for some good
purpose He never would have formed
them. He could as easily have made
them into sage brush or jack rabbits, but
He didn't do it, and hence we must con
clude they were made for steamboats,
crocodiles and whales.".
Goldendale continues to be troubled
with a ghost that nightly plays its mys
terious pranks upon the citizens. It has
been cornered closely several times but
always managed to escape. ' Quite a
number of persons have been badly
frightened and the Courier, believing it
to be some crank who is simply bent on
mischief, solemnly advises it to go to
bed and avoid having a - hole blown
through it. . .
