DON'T GET SOARED.
TLe Oregon Populists, says the
Salem Statesman, true to their best
interests, are just now making most
of the noise and claiming everything
in sight.
Don't get scared.
They are not getting ahead. They
are expending all their wind on noise,
with none left for any other purpose.
They are like Abraham Lincoln's
steamboat, that had sach a large
whistle. It was so large that when it
tooted this process took all the steam,
and the machinery stopped. Instead
' of going ahead while it was making a
Tery loud noise, drowning out all
other sounds for miles around, it ac
tually lost ground and drifted with
the stream.
The men down in Portland in
charge of the Populist campaign are
giving out "news" by the yard about
the prospects of Populist victories in
Oregon. They are trying to con
vince Oregon voters that everything
is going their vra.y. They are also
trying to convince the deluded mem
bers of their party, so they will shell
out the largest possible assessment
from their almost empty pockets,
with which to hire Populist speakers
from abroad.
1 " They propose to draw into requis
ition Texas, Iowa and several other
distant states. They do not seem to
have much idea of patronizing home
industry. Nearly every Populist in
Oregon is full of figures and wind.
The home product ought to be given
a chance. It would be cheaper, too,
and the money would be kept at
home.
The only, interest these outside
speakers take in Oregon Populism is
the money raised by assessment from
'the Oregon Populists. They sail
across the continent in Pullman cars,
with six-bit meals and two-bit cigars,
for the cost of which- their Oregon
dupes go down into their pockets and
dig up their hard-earned money.
What do they get for their money?
They get promises of great victories
before the election.',;- The fact is, the
outlook for Populist success any
where in the state is not at all bright.
Eyen in those counties where thatpar
ty has won a few victories in the
past few years, it has run out, and
the nponle want no more of it. -There
r ir
is nothing in this brag. Don't be Ue
ceived. , , ,
If the Republicans throughout
Oregon will do their duty, as we be
lieve they will, overwhelming victor
ies for the oartv of proffress will be
the result.
AN EQ REG RIO US MISTAKE.
The independent candidate for
congress in- the Second district is a
o
reality. The acceptance of County
Judge Northup of Portland has been
filed and his campaign actively be
gUn. For reasons already expressed,
we are sorry that things have taken
the turn they have.
It Is generally considered Judge
Northup has no chance of election.
Outside of Multnomah county he
will have no active Fupport, and the
majority it is possibly he may obtain
in Portland will not land him in
Washington.
At the same time, his candidacy
threatens , the election of' Ellis. An
active campaign is in prospect. The
Populists, encouraged by national
leaders, will exhaust every resource
to elect their candidate. The Dem
ocrats, seeing the breach in the Re
publican ranks, will vote solidly for
Judge Bennett, while the Republi
cans, like a house divided against
itself, are in danger of falling.
Two years ago the vcte In the
Second district was as follows : Ellfs
(Rep.) 18,875; Raley (Dem.) 9,013
Waldrop (Pop.) 10,749: Miller
(Pro. 775. Ellis pluiarity, 8,126
Though Northup has no chances of
election, as the Oregonian thinks he
has, yet he will at least greatly reduce
the Ellis vote of two years ago and
may bring it to the Vvel of he Demo
crats and Populistt. It is more than
ikely that the Demociatic vote will
be larger this election than last, as
then the contest was so hopeless that
many Democrats did not take tne
trouble to vote. The contest would
be equally as hopeless now were it
not for the entrance of- the Orego-
nian candidate into the field. ' With
an increased Democratic vote aud
the Republicans divided, it will be
admitted that the man who places
his money on Bennett is not doing a
very foolish act.
This is the situation that confronts
the Republicans of the Second dis
trict. - There are troublous times
ahead, and it is the duty of every
Republican to rouse himself and give
his hearty support to the Republican
nominee. We believe that Ellis will
be elected despite the efforts of the
Oregonian and Simon; but it will
need a hearty support from Eastern
Oregon to accomplish it.
The Chronicle did not favor the
nomination of Mr. Ellis, hut it be
lieves now that it is the duty of
every loyal Republican to support
him.
'Col." J. G.Day and his son, I. N
(lovely pair!) have gone to San
Francisco to remain, it is stated, a
week. Wouldn't it be a good idea
to send the stone masons that are
working on our new Kuildings down
to the locks and have the inner walls
built so that the Days would have a
pleasant surprise on their return?
"Colonel". Day says he is very anx
ious to see the locks completed, and
he nndoubledly would open some of
that rare champagne, which he uses
to gain his point, in return for our
kindness.
The sentencing of John Hays
Hammond, the American engineer,
to death for conspiracy against the
Iransvaal government need not
cause any great excitement in Amer
ica. It is expected that President
Kruger will interpose and change
the sentence from death to a light
imprisonment and a heavy fine.
Upon no other consideration would
the accused have plead guilty.
Senator Wolcott has written a
letter saying he will stay ' with the
Republican party no matter what
action it. takes regarding the coinage
question. This is an abandonment
of the ultra free silver position and
indicates on the part of the senator
a disposition to hedge.
A WORD. OF '- WARNING.
; In Senator Mitchell's letier to The
Chronicle reference." was .'"made to
the text of the amendment to the
sundry civil hill making $20,000 of
the $179,000 appropriated -available
for building the -inner walls. A
copy of: "the '"bill has reached this
offico ancL we find the provision re
lating to the locks to read as follows r
For improving canal H the cas
cades of the Columbia river, Oregon,
completing improvement, one hun-
dred and seventy-nine thousand five
hundred and ninety seven dollars
Pro v'ded,That the secretary of war
be, and lie is hereby, authorized and
directed to expend of this amount
not to exceed the sum of twenty
thousand dollars in constructing on
the hind and river sides of the canal,
bet .veen the upper Jock gate masonry
ana the upper guard gate masonry.
such portions of the walls proposed
in the modified project presented by
the board of engineers in its report
of October 18, 1894 (which report
was printed in the annual report of
the chief of engineers for 1895, part
5, pages 3576 and following as
may be necessary to construct in
advance of the opening of the canal
to commerce. Provided, - That the
contractor or contractors for com
pleting the construction of the said
anal in accordance with the present
adopted project shall consent to such
use of this appropriation and shall
make no claim of any kind ;against
the United States on account there
of.
We do not like the reading of
this last clause. Docs it mean, as
it seems to, that the matter of
whether cr not the inner walls are to
be built shall be left to the discre
tion and good will of the Days?
Verily, Verily, it seemeth so. If
such be the case, what under high
heaven is our delegation about?
Have we not had enough of loosely
drawn contracts and defeasance
clauses? The members of the Ore
gon delegation are just in that posi
tion when further, trifling will not be
tolerated. The scales are falling
from the people's eyes and they are
beginning to examine more closely
the words and actions of their rep-
t
resentatives.
This much we say to our delega
tion. We ask nothing from you ii
the guise of supplicants; we are past
the point of beseeching favors. We
demand that you take such steps as
will circumv actions of the
miscreants who are conspiring
against the opening of the locks.
Senator Mitchell, Senator McBride,
and Mr. Ellis, we like not the read
ing of this amendment. We warn
you that tne temper or tne people is
aroused as it never was before, and
there is not a thinking man in East
em Oregon but what is disgusted,
disheartened and chagrined that in
this day and age such outrages could
be perpetrated as have been in con
nection with the locks.
You have given us your word
that this $20,000 will complete the
work necessary for the locks opera
tion. You cannot blame us for
being slow to trust to it, nor for
having our suspicions near the sur
face.
McKinley seems to be the sur
cessor of James G. Blaine in popu
lar favor. From the Atlantic to the
Pacific the people are asking his
nomination. Illinois raised her
voice for the Ohio statesman yester
day, and the echo was heard in
Texas. The wonderful popularity
of McKinley only shows that the
issue of protection vs. free trade is
the great question before the people.
The government is now running be
hind at the rate of $25,000,000 a
year. It is to change all this and
make the revenues greater than the
disbursements that protection is
wanted, and in McKinley is recog
nized the champion of this popular.
cause.
It is a noticeable fact that the
Democratic papers in the Second
district are unanimous in approving
the course of the Oregonian regard
ing the trotting out of Judge N(oith-
rup as an independent candidate.
There are many Democrats who wjll
be for Northrup till election day,
they will o to the polls and every
mother's son of them vote for Ben
nett. The Democrats are not going
to throw away the only chance of
victory that has been given them for
years.

and '
on the Salvation Army
'.Doctor" a Boy.
Last Friday night a couple followed
the Salvation Army into their hall, who
attracted immediate attention of the
captain by their pale and emaciated ap
pearance. They told a pitiful story of
their troubles, physical and financial.
They ' claimed to have just arrived in
the city from Vancouver and were in a
stiange community without friends,
money or credit, or a place to sleep or
eat. Mr. W. H. Hitchcock, who keeps
the Union street lodging house, is
kind-hearted man, aleo a member of the
army, and he offered the couple tempo
rary quarters until other arrangements
could, be made. The man further told
of bis Buffering from three abscesses on
his legs, exhibiting them.ynd claiming
his blood was poisoned by poison oak,
It waa not long before Mr. Hitchcock
discovered the true situation, that the
two- were addicted to the use of cocaine
and were nearing the last stages of that
terrible and disgusting habit. Mr.
Hitchcock noted that, they were in
stupor until noon each day aud when
they arose had ravenous appetites, after
which they would revive for a time and
be apparently in a normal condition
until evening.
The woman was soon observed solicit
ing money on tne streets and a friend of
Mr. Hitchcock's followed her into
Maetz & Fundt's saloori to observe what
she would say. She approached a wo
man of the town and told her her hus
band was flick and without money to
buy needed medicine. She gave her 50
cents, and with the money she en
deavored to secure cocaine at Blakeley
& Houghton's drug store, but was re
fused, although tne- paper resembled a
prescription, the man claiming to be a
physician. This was reported to Mr,
Hitchcock, and the next evidence was
his discovering the needle with which
they made the injections. It is hollow
and attaches to a syringe.
While at the house, a boy of Mrs,
(Jhngwiler's, a family also rooming in
the lodging house, got a large sliver in
his hand, and the "doctor" volunteered
hla services to extract it. A sliver two
inches long had penetrated the hand,
and was a more than ordinary severe
case. The doctor took the boy in the
room and before removing the sliver in
jected cocaine in the hand. It stupefied
the lad, and he remained in a dead
stupor from 2 o'clock till 7, all efforts to
awaken him proving . unavailing. The
following morning bis band was swollen,
and today he complains of a severe pain
in bis shoulder.
By thia time Mr. Hitchcock had be
come very tired of lis guests, and made
efforts to remove them. He sought the
county . judge and plans were made to
ship them out of town, consummating
that desired action Tuesday evening,
when they took the night train east
ward. ' - '
The Oehoco Miners.
Messrs. Emil H. Kloge, A. T. Griffin
and W. H. Stead, the Ocboco mining
men, arrived in the city last evening,
but left on the morning train. Mr.
Klnge and Mr. Stead go to Tacoma,
where 2,000 pounds of ore were shipped
to a smelter, and Mr. Griffin to Portland,
where he was to have purchased today a
derrick' and apparatus for use at the
mine in hoisting out ore. He will pass
through tonight on his way to Omaha.

orders to ship 500 pounds of. ore by ex.
press to Omaha tonight. A third ship-

SHERMAN COUNTY JURIES.
A. Defendant 'Wins a Cane, bat
, knowledges it Is Unjust.
AO-
It is rare indeed that a encceaafiil de
fendant in a lawsuit voluntarily comeaq
to the vanquished plaintiff and tells bim
he does not agree with the jury which1
gave him a verdict, and offers restitution
in the fullest manner possible, but the
experience of Mr. T. A. Hudson in Sher
man county several weeks ago was just
such a one.
He had leased a farm to a tenant in
Sherman county for three years, draw
ing np a contract, which was signed
that he was to receive a certain share of
the crop. The tenant failed to tender
Mr. 'Hudson anything for two years
claiming, and perhaps truthfully, that
he saw no way to spare to Mr. Hudson
his share of the wheat, although right
fully due him. Hudson then asked him
to draw up a note of $75 for the first
year's crop, and allowed the conditions
to-stand regarding the second year. The
farmer again failed to pay anything,
either the note or the second year's
share. Then Mr. Hudson began suit
to abrogate the lease, for the recovery of
the note and the share due' him for the
second year's crop. The jury, after
listening to the case, allowed Mr. Hud
son judgment of $1 on the note, nothing
for the crop, and even considered the
advisability of forcing Hudson out of
the use of his land for another year but
for the instructions of the judge, who
positively stated they could not take his
land from him.
Mr. Hudson was disgusted, as well he
might have been, but was much sur
prised when the defendant, bis tenant,
came to him and said be knew the jury
had done him an injustice, that he
didn't repudiate the just , debt even if
the jury did, and if Mr. Hudson would
give him the use of the land another
year, be would pay tne snare agreed
upon for the entire ' three years. This
was acceptable to Mr. Hudson, and he
haB just received from his tenant a
signed contract that he is to be hired for
wages this year, Hudson to sell the
wheat, take bis due for the three years
and give his tenant what is left.
Mr. Hudson insists that be will have
change of venue in any Sherman
county case after this.
Portland's Time to Help.
Lennman Blum, formerly of Pendle
ton, is in the city today soliciting sub
scribers to the new periodical entitled
the "Pacific Northwest," issued by the
Pacific Northwest Immigration Board of
Portland. The recognized object of the
board is to place in the hands of as
many people in the west as the funds
will permit a trujB statement of the re
sources and conditions oi tne various
sections of the state that all who are
looking to better their condition, may
know where to locate. This is a worthy
object, and should be encouraged. But
would it not be well for Portland, before
going into an enterprise of this kind and
asking Eastern Oregon to assist her in
this matter, to bring their powerful in
fluence to bear npon our delegation in
congress toward the speedy opening of
the Columbia river to navigation, that
their people whom they wish to attract
to this great country may have some in
