NOMINATIONS ARE IN ORDER
.The writhings of the Oregonian
because of the dose administered to
its cherished idol, Joseph Simon, at
the late Republican convention fur
nish amusement to those people who
have little concern which way Mult
nomah county politics go. For a
day or two following the conven
tions there was a period of hesitancy
of uncertainty what course to pursue
on the part of the great dnily.
Considering the fact that the
forces of the Oregonian had been
defeated and the "combine" had won
signal victories nil along the line,
there was a marked absence of com
ment upon the situation. Gradu
ally, however, little by little, edito
rial paragraphs began to appear
intimating that a candidate for con
gress in the Second district who
would represent the gold side of the
money question would be a desira
able thing. Then came the an
nouncement that no Republican
should vote for Mr. El! is, which car
lies with it the innuendo that he
should vote for Judge Bennett, Mr,
McKereher or, possibty, Mr. Qninn,
the Populist candidate; since for
whom else could he vote ?
Bui there aie those who think the
Oregonian docs not intend support
ing either Judge Bennett, Mr. Mc
Kereher or Mr. Quinn; but really
desires the nomination of a gold
standard Republican. Possibly so,
and if true the trouble has been that
no candidate has been found to fill
the bill. Mr. Mallory would not do,
because if he were nominated Mr.
Hume would take the -stump, against
blm, and Mr. Mallory would lose his
temper. Joe Simon wouldn't do,
because he couldn't get any votes.
John C. Leasure wouldn't do, be
cause Mr. Leasure never runs for
office, and so on down the line of the
Oregonian favorites.
Sad . as the plight may be, . we
think we think we see a solution
Modesty is the chief virtue of the
Oregonian, and it is modesty, possi
bly, that has prevented that paper
from announcing the candidacy of
Harvey W. Scott, a gentleman well
known to you all as the able, talent
d and popular editor of the Orego
tiian, Why not nominate Mr. Scott ?
He is not a bolter. Did he not con
demn those who broke the caucus
rule at Salem? He believes in pro
tection, as his ai tides, written fifteen
years ago will prove. He is in in
tellect a giant; in influence sur
passed by no one in the state; and,
Above all, he would represent sound
money in all its soundness.
A sick doctor should be willing to
take the same prescription he ad
vises for others. Why should not
a statesman be willing to undergo
what he wants another to do?
Most modestly, timorously and
appreciatively do we present the
name of H. W. Scott for congress

pleted of their stocks. In the sum
mer, during harvest, and in the
winter, when roads are bad, business
is Quiet. The establishment of in
dustries having . steady pay rolls
would make business good the year
round and tide over the periods of
inactivity. The Dalles needs man-
ufactunes, and is sure to get them
when capitalists recover confidence
and seek investment for their money,
With better roads, an open "river
f possibly and a woolen. mill and
kindred industries, this city would
soon double its population.
WHAT GUARANTEEt
The Cascade locks are practically
completed, and there need no longer
be any question about opening the
entire Columbia river to tramc in
time to carry off the crop of this
year. Moro Observer.
Reallv ! Well, we are glad to hear
it. Perhaps Mr. Ireland has some
inside information which the rest of
us don't possess. A few months ago
there were a good many people who
thought the locks would be done
this spring, and, if we remember
aright, there was a good deal said
concerning a celebration. Such talk i
seems like a burlesque now.
It is true the sundry civil bill has
passed the bouse, been read a second
time in tbe senate, and reported
favorably from the committee on ap
propriations. Its chances of passing
the senate are considered good.
This bill carries an appropriation of
$1 74,593 ''for the completion of the
lock?." We dislike a pessimist, and
VIEWING TEE CANDIDA TSS.
But little ovei . .a month remains
ti.'l the voters of Wasco county will
be called tipon to- name the officers
who will carry on -the county gov
ernment. The action of the late
convention is thoroughly known by
this time, and ihe general concensus
of opinion is that the work of the
delegates was well and ' wisely done.
During the next month the cam
paign will wax warm, and the heat
of partisanship may make people
blind to the good or bad qualities of
the various candidates.
It is well, therefore, before the
campaign progress farmer to taite a
look at the ticket which is presented
by the Republican party to the
voters of Wasco county for their
appioval:
The nominee for county judge,
Hon. Robert Mays, is so well known
to the people that any words of ccm-
mendation are superfluous. He has
lived in Wasso county for thirty
years or more, and can be called, in
all fairness, the "first citizen of the
county." By hard, unceasing toil
Mr. Mays has reached that condition
which makes him a heavy taxpayer,
and m caring for his own interests
he will of necessity look out for the
welfare of the county. A business
man who has been successful in his j
own affairs is what is needed in such
an office, and Mr. Mays is just that
sort of a man. Wasco county will
honor herself in his election.
The sheriff's office has been

yet we see no particular reason for tion' and Sheriff Driver goes before
waxing enthusiastic over this $174,
593 appropriation than we did over
the twenty thousand one. What
guarantee is there that the money
will not be squandered and misused
as former appropriations have r-een ?
No confidence exists in the Days or
the board of engineers. What rea
son have we to think the money will
be used aright?
Not until the boats from Portland
reach the middle Columbia will we
believe that the Cascade locks are
any more than a name.
During the twelve months ending
with February the imports of foreign
wool into the United States amount
d to 273,923,590 pounds. It is as
certained from competent statistics
that the American product for the
months mentioned would not exceed
i.ha omrtnnf. nf imnnrtc an Viarl if r,rf
been for foreign wool there would
have been a market for the entire
American clip. As It is, the East
ern markets are glutted, and those
who sell this spring will find the
price affected to a large extent by
the supply of wool left over from
last-season. . There is no reason to
expect a higher price this year than
last, nor until a tariff bill is framed
to give adequate protection to wool
growers. This can only be done
after the election of a Republican
president and congress.
The Connecticut Republican con
vention declared for sound money
and protection. These are the
watchwords for true Republicans
throughout the country. Just be
cause the Oregon Republicans made
the mistake of nominating a con
gressional candidate whose record
on the financial question is not all
thai could be desired, is no reason
why Republicans should be advised
to vote against him. This is not the
way to achieve success' or help on
the cause of protection, which after
all is the great issue before the coun
try.
The Oregonian is supporting the
Democratic nominee for congress in
the Second district. It may not be
doing so avowedly, but bj advising
its readers not to vote for Ellis, the
effect is the same. The Oregonian

come as a matter of course. Mr,
Driver has made a faithful officer.
and by his accommodation has made
himself many friends, who will be
glad to vote for him on election day
The county convention had no
other course than to re-nominate A
M. Kelsay as county clerk. Any
one who has had occasion to have
business in tbe clerk s office comes
awav with the feeling that the light
man is in the right place when Mr.
Kelsay is clerk. He has made
splendid official. Of his competency,
courtesy and fitness there is no ques
tion. His re-election is as certain
as the stars.
The nominee for school superin
tendent, C. Lu Gilbert, has every
qualification for the office. He has
had wide experience as a teacher, is
energetic, and will bring to his duties
a mind well trained tor the work.
No better man could be chosen to
have charge of our schools than Mr,

C. L. Phillips, the nominee for
county treasurer, is a man against
whom not a breath of anything un
worthy can be raised. He has live'd
in Wasco county till his reputation
for absolute integrity is established
too firm to be shaken. He is a busi
ness man, and will conduct the office
according to business methods. He
will poll the full Republican vote,

W. H. Whipple of Dufur, the can
didate for assessor, is not so well
known as the other gentlemen, but
he came -into the convention with an
enthusiastic following. He has many
champions, for his election, and his
neighbors who have known him long
and well, say he has every qualifica
tion for the office.
The convention had an eye to
nominee and a candidate named by
a convention. It is a question if
politically the man who has the ill
will of the Oregonian is not to be
considered lucky.
Walla Walla juries are curious in
stitutions. In a criminal trial held
recently in that city the ' jury disa

that on the first ballot the iurv stood
8 to 4 for acquittal Jand on the ast good goyernment when it nominated

wholesale change of opinion doesn't
speak well for tbe judgment and in

The amount of warrants outstand

$252,422 in excess of the legal
limit. This is the direct result

Kimsey is well known as a successful
farmer, who will well represent all
portions of the county upon the

with this important office.

surveyor, is well qualified for this
office. He is an experienced sur

Among the most interesting move
ments which have taken place in re
cent years is the one looking to the
establishment of an international
court of arbitration, which shall set
tie the disputes as they arise between
the nations of the earth. Thirty
years ago such a project would be
dorrinated a dream a fancy from
Utopia that could hardly call forth
the consideration of serious-minded
men: but with constant agitation
and the further thought that the
United States is illy piepared at the
present time to protect its rights and
enforce its demands by warfare, the
project has assumed tangible shape,
At the conference now being held
in Washington men distinguished in
various walks of life are present and
lend their labors to the fulfillment of
the cause. Various speeches have
been made deprecating the brutal-
ty and uncivilized method of
settling disputes by .force, and the
believers in a possible universal
peace seize the opportunity to pre
sent arguments for a cause which,
however attractive it may be from
an ethical standpoint, is in little dan
ger of speedy realization.
People should not put too much
faith in the international arbitration
scheme. Its merits are unques
tioned, provided the ends promised
could be attained. War is a last
resort; nations do not rush head
long into conflict, and are especially
loath for battle since the invention
of deadly machinery, which has pro
gressed so rapidly in recent years.
But it is doubtful if any question
which could not be settled by the
means now employed, would find
settlement in a permanent court of
arbitration.
Little harm can come from the
project, provided we continue the
work of building coast defences and
increasing our army and navy. But
let us not trust too much to inter
national arbitration, for in our hour
of need our trust may fail.
The first news from the Ochoco mines
is in tbe substantial form of 1,250 pounds
of ore which was freighted to The Dalles
and consigned to the Wsbco warehouse,
arriving last night. The ore is -sal-phurets
of iron and is very heavy. Tbe
letter that came with it ordered that
1,000 pounds of it be ehipped lo the Ta
coma Smelting and mining Co., the 250
pounds remaining to be held awaiting
orders. The shipment was brought in
by Sicbel's freight teams. No estimate
can be made here of its value, but con
sidering that Mr. Kluge, who came from
Chicago as a mining expert and assayer
is now located at the mine, it is very
probable that the ore must be rich to
warrant the expense of shipping 1,000
pounds of it by team 300 miles, and then
by rail to Tacoma.
