THE TEARING-DO WN STATESMEN
While the Republican party is em-
barassed with riches. Democratic
candidates for the presidency are
neither numerous nor pervasive,
' eavs the New York Tribune. The
worshippers of Mr. Cleveland con
tinue to represent that nobody else
can save his party, but there are men
who would like to save it if they
could. Secretary Carlisle might be
persuaded, though it is questiona
ble whether he could command eithei
the delegation or the electoral vote
of Kentucky. Secretary Olney has
a chattel mortgage on some delega
tions from New England if he wants
them, but it is to him extremely
doubtful whether he wants any dele-
&ation whatever. It has occurred to
him more than once that a distinctly
un-American administration is not
calculated to lift a secretary of state
toward glory. Mr. Whitney, whose
honorable service as secretary of the
navy should not be forgotten, would
probably prefer not to have that ser
vice remembeied loo . obtrusively
this j'ear, and Mr. Morrison of Illi
nois, who has lost himself in his re
lations with the railroads, might per
haps be as strong as any other can
didate of his party if he bad not
been conspicuous years ago in fram
ing a tariff bill.
The Democratic Mstory has been
one of negatives. It has threatened
and more or less tried to tear dowu
many things. It denounced, but
was not able to stop, specie redemp
tion of legal tender notes. It has
been reviling every step taken tow
ard honest monej'', a sound currency,
a safe and uniform banking system ;
but the higher powers have merci
fully saved the nation from eyen a
touch of Democratic destructiveness
in that regard. It has continually
threatened to tear down the protec
tive tariff, but. coming into power in
all branches of the government, was
not able to muster enough sincerity
or definiteness of purpose to get that
done either, though in the effort
much was torn down and a great
deal of damage was done.
The tearing.down statesman does
not fill a large place in the public
mind. Indeed, everybody knows
that he has only a torch for destroy
ing, but no hammer for building,
and must therefore be not the sort of
man a progressive nation needs.
The difficulty with the Democratic
party is that for more than thirty
years it has cultivated that kind of
statesmen, and no other and the
practical results are obvious.

The recent experience of the Rev.
D. W. Wisher, pastor of a large and
influential congregation of colored
Baptists, with the Hon. Caleb Simms
is full of interest and suggestion,
says the New York Tribune. It ap
pears that a week ago last Sunday
evening the Rev. Mr. Wisher, hav
ing arrived at his church a few min-
utes before the hour appointed for
the service, was there accosted by a
stranger, who after a hasty identifi
cation, handed him a letter. Mr.
Wisher retired to his study and
opened the letter, presumably sup-
coming weeks, but before it is fairly
under way we will, with oil sentient
nature, echo the great loving throb
that comes from the mother of us all,
of bursting": buds, of growing life,
and sav auain, "Thank . God for th e
blessed rain!" :..
What Wearer Avoided.
Gen. Weaver, according to all reports,
made the same speech in Portland thai
be did in The. Dalles. The Portland
Telegram bas the' following comments
upon it
It is only because the wage-earners of
the United States are unaware of the
consequences of. free silver coinage that
they are not np in arms against it. If

five-dollar bill, which he was desired
to accept as a slight token of Mr.
Simms' appreciation of his efforts to
to a point below the level of comfortable
subsistence they would hoot such
orators as Weaver off the platform, and
that they are not so assured la their own
fault. They listen to the vapid theories

Unfortunately, the committee ap-
pointed by the Colored Ministers'
Conference to wait on Mr. Simms

silver is the acknowledged measure of
value. It will be found that those coun
tries have the lowest wage rates and
consequently the most debased labor in
the world. Their common people are
below the level of the beasts of burden
in the United States, for they do not get
enough compensation for their toil to
provide them with sufficient of life's
bare necessaries.
This aspect of the silver question is
carefully and ostentatiously avoided by

Russian Finns are running the fishing
business with a high hand down at As
toria. Michael Pecovitch.a native of Aus
tria, but a naturalized American citi
zen, while engaged driving piles in the
river for trap fishing was approached bv
a fleet of some 200 of these Russians,
and compelled on pain of death by
hanging, to pull np the piles be had
driven, and set them loose on the ocean.
He says he is a ruined man, but will try
to get damages from the county allowing
such an un-American procedure on
American soil. While Pecovitch was at
woik destroying his own property, an
other boat came over with a Russian
brass band, and the incongruity was wit
nessed of a mob of unnaturalized foreign
pirates forcibly destroying an American
citizen's property, with a brass band
standing by playing "America," and
the leader of the mob with a rope in his
bands ready to commit mnrder.
Pecovitch said : "At about the time
that half my property had been de
stroyed, another fishing boat came over
with a lot of young Russian Finn women,
dressed up in (heir holiday attire, and
then the mob tnrned itself loose for a
good time. Tbey cheered and sang and
shouted, and the men fired off guns, and
all had a regular jollification while my
property was being destroyed. They all
stayed nntil the last pole was pulled up,
after which the leader ordered all to
leave and, before going, he warned ns
never again, on paiD of death, to attempt
to put down traps in the Columbia river,
I am a ruined man. I had bought gear
and made every preparation for the
season's fishing, and my loss will not be
lees than $500."
Mr. F. A. Seufert of this city, who has
large fishing interests above The Dalles,
has become fearful that his property
may be destroyed by fire by some oi
these Russian law-breakers, as they
have threatened that will allow no
wheels to rnn on the entire river, unless
the 5 cent rate is paid. Seufer Bros,
paid 3 cents last year, and' they got
along harmoniously with their men, and
there was no trouble. To prevent some
Astoria foreign tough coming up on the
night train firing bis wheels, and re
turning again the same night, Mr,
Seufert has p'.aced guards at all of his
wheels and the cannery, and has pub
lished and posted the following notice:
Thb Dallks, Or., Apr. 10, 1896.
Owing to the tronble between the

The Oregon State Democratic Conren
- tion In Session.
Portland, April 9. "Free silver, and
plenty of it!" seems to be the Bhibbo
leth ofthe Democratic state convention
in session in A. O. TJ. W. hall today. At
the caucus held last night, so report has
it, it was determined to ignore all aspir
ants to political favor at the hands of
this convention who would not unquali
fiedly subscribe to the 16-to-l ' article of
faith. This also was the burden of talk
in the Hotel Perkins corridors before
the convention was called to order this
forenoon, presaging that silver, and
nothing but the white metal will be the
momentum to sway this body of repre
sentative Democrats.
The sound-money Democrats.who were
quartered at the Imperial, at a caucus
held by them last night, reached the
conclusion not to enter the lists for the
permanent organization of the. conven
tion, as they are outnumbered by about
two to one. Ibis faction -is opposed to
making the money question an issue at
this time, and advocates its relegation to
the national convention.
The foreshadowing was verified in all
its essentials during this forenoon's ses
sion of the convention, which was called
to order by D. W. Sears of Independ
ence, chairman of the state committee,
at 10 :15 o'clock. To the credit of the
gentlemen comprising this convention it
must be said that at the outset thev
conducted themselves as if they were in
a chnrch, but subsequent proceedings
were marked by the noisy features at
tendant npon the meetings of all great
political bodies.
P. H. D'Arcy was nominated chair
man by acclamation.
A spirited argument arose over the
committee to be appointed on resolu
tions.
S. F. Floed, of Douglass, moved that
the delegation of each county name one
of its members to constitute a commit
tee on platform and resolutions.'
T. H. Crawford moved an amendment
that the chair appoint this committee,
on the ground that be is familiar with
the leading Democratic spirits in the
state.
1 do not doubt tnat the chairman is
well acquainted with all the Democrats
in Oregon, bnt the majority shall rule,
and when possible the people shall
speak," replied Mr. Floed. "I am very
much in earnest that my motion shall
prevail."
F. A. E. Starr, detecting what he be
lieved to be a sinister motive in Mr.
Floed's motion, said that there was . no
use trying to cover np the main issue of
the convention ; he felt confident that
the'ehair would appoint a committee re
porting in favor of free silver.
"It is the question and can't be cov
ered up" he repeated. "I believe in the
Democratic principle that a majority in
convention shall rule. If we lose, I'll
qnit."
"I'm in favor of free silver !" exclaimed
George Stout, "and I'm surprised that
Mr. Starr would have the chair appoint
this committee. This is not a one-man
affair, but it is the entire state that ia
speaking." -
Speeches for and against these ques
tions were delivered by Hon. B. S. Hus
ton, General Kilfeather and others,
till Hon. L. L. McArthur arose, and in
distinct and meausured language asked
whether it had not always been the uni
form rnle for each delegation to select a
member to serve on this committee.
If bo," remarked Mr. McArthur,
JV
"why depart from established princi
ples! Let ut respect and abide by
them."
Other debates ensued, among which
ws incorporated a motion by J. H.
Smith, of Clatsop, who, by the way, was
the only Democratic member of the last
legislature, to the purport that the chair
appoint a committee of Beven on plat
form and resolutions.
At this crisis, Judge Hayden, of Polk,
moved the previous question to shut off
debate, eventuating in the victory of Mr.
Floed's motion. Before reconvening in
the afternoon it transpired that the com
mittee on platform and resolutions has
a majority of five in favor of the free
coinage of silver.

Dull eyes, the sallow or wrinkled face and
those "feelings of weakness" have their
rise in the derangements and irregularities
peculiar to women. The functional de

weaknesses of women, can be cured with
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For the
young girl just entering womanhood, for
the mother and those about to become
mothers, and later in "the change of life,"
the " Prescription " is iust what they need :
it aids nature in preparing the system for
the change. It's a medicine prescribed for
thirty years, in the diseases of women, by
Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti- '
t nte, at Buffalo, N. Y. Dr. Pierce's Favorite '
Prescription will cure the chronic inflamma
tion of the lining membranes which cause
such exhausting drains upon the system.
It cures nervous prostration, sleeplessness,
faintness, nervous debility and all disorders
arising from derangement of the female
organs and functions.
