NOT GOOD ADVICE.
Eey. Dr EaiDsford, rector of the
fashionable St. George's Protestant
Episcopal church, has suggested to
his wealthy parishioners that they do
not attend the bal masque to be
given by Mrs. Bradley Martin of
New Tork, who has the reputation of
being a lavish hostess. The clergy
man basis his opposition on the
ground that it is not proper for such
a display of wealth to be -made.
That a large portion of the people
are crying out against existing social
conditions, and that ostentatious dis
play only widens the breach between
the classes and the masses. He says :
"With wanton every side; with 'dis
content rife among the 'lower orders
of society, it would seem unwise to
offer texts to demagogues and polit
ical extremists."
The Rev. rrentleman is wise in his
own conceit, conceited ' ic his own
wisdom. He realizes the unrest of
the masses, but does not understand
the difference between cause and
effect. He fails to understand that
the extravagances of the rich are
blessing to the poor. It is the means,
and the only means in many cases,
by which the money gathered by
clipping coupons and collecting in
terest can bp returned to the sources
from whence it came. Ho does not
understand that the "ostentatious
display" is offensive to the struggling
masses, not because of the display
itself, but because of the circum
stances that permit the gathering of
'the, wealth that makes the ostenta
tiousi display possible. The bal
masque woald take thousands of
dollars trom those who have no par
ticular need of them, and give them
to those who have.
Rev. Kainsford, in giving the ad
vice he did, simply undertook to add
to this cause of the people's unrest
bv hiding: the visible effects made
forcible y the cause. He should
encoutage his parishoners to spend
more of their money, and should set
them an examp'e by spending some
f his own $15,000 salary. The
people will stand the display as lone;
as they gather in the shekels.
Siraon-Oregonirtn few Republicans
who were not here two years ago to
be counted. . In the senate there are
but two men standing for caucus and
organization uow who were not for
Dolph and caucus two yen ago-
Johnson and McClung while there
nre nine Brownell, Calbieath, Gar
ter, Dawson, Gesner Gowm, Hobson
Patterson of Marion, and Price
who stand exactly as they stood
then, for majotity rule and the integ
rity of. the Republican party, in
this- connection -there is no hope of
bringing the Oregonian to a sense of
its unfairness, but simply a desire to
have the public know the truth.
. Since the Statesman published the
above, two of the Democrats have
joined the Benson house. Otherwise
the statement is correct.
YET THERE. IS TlifE.
WHO ARE WHOt
"The gang clamoring for caucus
at Salem is the very same gang that
broke up caucus two years ago," is
the editorial "utterance of the Ore
gonian, to which the. Salem Slates
man replies":
An analysis of the facts will serve
to show that the assertion is as false
and baseless as the numerous ethers
made by that paper recently.- Five
of the members who were represen
tatives in 1895 and who were elect
ed as Republicans to the present
' house, are found constantly present
and working for organization and for
the caucus. Of these, three Bridges,
Conn and David supported Mr.
' Dolph and the caucus two years ago,
while two Gurdane and Hope
were in opposition to Mr. Dolph.
Three membeis Barkley, Craig and
Guild who were Republican mem
bers in 1895, opposed Dolph and the
caucus then, and they all oppose or
rnr.izn.tinn and the canons now.
though the Orst tro were elected as
Mitchell Republicans last June, and
could not have been nominated or
elected under any other name. These
are reinforced in opposition to c u
cus and organization by Davisaof
Umatilla, who voted for Dolph and
caucus until he was influenced by a
legislative scheme in which he was
personally interested, to abandon his
choice and go over to the opposition.
A. further reinforcement is found in
the solid Populist phalaux, which
stood jusi as solid in the same line
two years ago; also the united Dem
ocracy, in similar position, and the
It will take united action and
every innuehce that can possioiy De
brought to bear, to. accomplish the
opening or the Uascade reserve to
pasturage by the time the season is
here. The mest powerful aid in the
good work would be a joint resolu
tion from the Oregon legislature. -
The question is of infinitely more
importance than the election of any
iran for senator. Will our represent
ative, Mr. Jones, who is himself a
sheepman, kindly take this into con
sideration? Will he. take a look at
the situation through the spectacles
of his constituents? Will he look
after their interests and his own, in
stead of assisting to block legislation
in tie interest of any senatorial can
didate, or against any senatorial can
didate. Interests are involved that
yield in Eastern Oregon more than
a million dollars a year annually.
Delay means their destruction. Will
he, can he, weigh these interests
against any result in the senatorial
squabble, and deliberately strike
them down ? We freely concede his
right to vote, for whomsoever he
pleases for United States senator.
That is a matter he can settle in his
own conscience. But the people
who elected him have some rights.
They have a right to have their
business attended to. They have a
right to be represented in an organ
ized legislature, and to have their
representative assist in organizing it.
That was what Mr, Jones was e.'ected
for. Mr. Henry, his opponent, was
elected to stay away from the Ieisla
ture. Mr. Jones was not. Mr.
Henry would be as much justified in
demanding a seat in the legislature
as Mr. Jones -is in refusing it. The
latter said he wanted the office, he
CinvaSsed the district to get it, he
virtually promised to accept it, and
the people believing him, gave it to
him. How he is treating the trust
reposed in him will not bear com
ment from us.
He has still time to redeem the
pledges he made. - He has still time
to look after the business of his con
stituents. If he doe's it, well ; if not,
let him remember that he must face
his constituents in six brief weeks
from now.
nasty . journalism that 'froths and
fumes;, that festers and gives off bad
odors, which we are constantly re
minded is modern and what the peo
ple demand. The reason the "ten
derloin" editorial regarding Califor
n:a, that appeared in the" jcurual we
speak of. cut so deeply was the
knowledge of the sterling charaster
of 'the medium, and the faith its
readers have in its contents.
AN IMPORTANT BILL.
One of the most important bills
demanding the attention "of the leg
lslature is that licensing canneries
fishing appliances and shippers. It is
proposed by those engaged in any
manner m salmon fishing to raise
fund of about $8,000 a year to be
expended in maintaining the fishing
laws and in the building and operat
ing of hatcheries. The fishermen
and canneries are anxious to pay the
license and they claim that bv so
doing the salmon supply can be kept
up, and that unless this is done, the
supply must ere long be -exhausted
and the industry ruined. They
pcint out the fact that $8,000 would
pay the expenses of the fish commis
sioner, and would build and equip a
hatchery every year. After a half
dozen hatcheries were built the sum
would operate them all, and their
total output would not only keep the
salmon run at its present proportions,
but would actually increase it.
It is one of the most important in
dustries in the state, and needs to be
looked after.
DELICATE BUMOR.
The editor of the Alameda, Calif.,
Argus leaps suddenly to the front as
the leading American humorist'.
The following "tribute" to the Ore.
gonian entitles him to first place,
without any ballot. The exquisitely
funny part of the whole thing is that
the Oregonian took the delicate shaft
seriously. Just imagine, if you can,
the smile of contentment that spread
over the Oregonian editor's counte
nance as he swallowed the last sen
tence of said tribute iu blissful ig
norance that the sngar coat was not
of the same ingredients as the body
of the pill. Hera is the delectable
morsel that moved our great contem
porary to test its capacity in the line
of deglutition :
Recently a copy of the Portland
Oregonian fell in our hands. . I, is
written with an almost English sober
ness; is not-trifling in any degree;
does not contain a single "broad"
expression, and not only does not en
large upon scandals and crim. con.
occurrences, but altogether ignores
them. It is not giddy, gaudy nor
garish ; it is not silly nor a smart
aleck. , It tells the news in simple
language, well pnt together, without
padding or superfluity. This plain,
homely paper, less in size than any of
the three leading San Francisco
papers, and With one-quarter of the
circulation that the most boastful of
them claims, wields more influence
than all of " them put together. It is
a most emphatic protest against the
NO CANDIDATE,
t
It is presumed that the Republi
cans and Popmist members holding
aloof from the legislature, have some
person in view as a senatorial candi
date; but if they have they manage
to keep him as a remarkably dark
horse, no names having yet been
mentioned. There is once in a while
a mention of Corbett, and occasion
ally the names of Fulton and Dolph
are heard, but these are only idle
rumors from the outsiders, members
of the third, fourth and fifth houses.
The truth of the mutter seems to
be that Mitchell has a majority of all
the yotcs, and the ho'd-np is made
because it is the only way in which
Mitchell can be beaten. .The opposi
tion has no candidate and are pursu
suing simply a - dog-in-the-manager
policy.
so that at present the whole matter
seems to rest with him. What the
result will be can only be guessed
at: but the Mitchell men seem 'confi
dent or eventually securing recog
nition. .
, Inings at balem are gettiagno
better fast. The senate refusing to
recognize the Benson house, has still
further complicated the 'matter
An attempt will now be made to
compel the attendance : of absent
members; but that this will succeed
is extremely aouottui. it looks as
though the legislature was effectually
hung up, and would remain in that
condition until Joe Simon anl Jona
than Bourne conclude to take it off
the hooks. As they will uol be in
hurry to do this, it seems probable
the session will expire without any
organization.
ine inauguration or MeKinley is
going to be a gorgeous affair.
Among the otoer, features 200 caval
ry-men and 2,000 infantry, formerly
of the Confederate service will take
part iu the parade. Time sur.ely
heals all wounds, and the evidence
that all bitterness on the part of the
South over the civil war has passed
away, could not he made. any more
conclusive than by the sight of for-
mer Confederates marching in the
procession at the inaugural of a Re
publican president.
It begins to look as though our
sheepmen will have to seek pastures
for their flocks outside of the Cas
cade forest reserve. The legislature
is taking no action, and the time is
passing away. Congress adjourns
in less than six weeks, and unless
something, is done at once, the mat
ter will go over until December, or
at least until a special session is
called, and that will be too late to
accomplish antbin this year.
Interest in the situation at Salem
is today centered . on . the senate.
The Benson house being organized,
the next question is "What will the
senate do?" If it recognizes the
house , as being properly and legally
organized, the two houses will on
Tuesday, one week from tomorrow,
cast a ballot for, and probably elect
a United States senator. If it fails
to recognize the house, the muddle
will have become so conglomerated
that no idea of the eventual solution
can be had. If Senator" Mitchell is
elected by the combination, it be
comes then a question as to what the
U. S. senate will do. It is very
evenly balanced politically, but it is
not apt to go behind the returns;
hence if Senator Mitchell is re-elect
ed, it is a reasonable presumption
that he will be seated. -
. The Populists and Simon Republi
cans claim to be holding up the or
ganization of the house in the inter
est of economy. Are they ? If the
house does not meet, every worthless
commission will be retained, and
there can be no possible reduction of
expenses. They are taking the only
course possible to retain all the ex
isting extravagances. Outside of
this there are grave business interests
demanding attention. The opening
of the Cascade reserve is one; the
change in the assessment laws is an
other, and there are dozens of other
things that lequire action. "The Pop.
ulists are in the way of any remedial
legislation, and yet they are the ones
who previous to election were mak
ing such strenuous promises of re
form and economy. .
' Yesterday the senate, by a vote of
14 to 14, refused to recognize the
Benson house. Two members were
absent. -They were Brownell, who
is a very sick man, and Carter, who
is away temporarily. Brownell is
known to be in favor of recognition,
but it is impossible to say when, if at
all, he will take his seat in the sen
ate. Carter is claimed bv both sides.
Collis P. Huntington is said to be
desirous of "leading a studious exist
ence m a country home. As he
has sixty or seventy millions of dol
lars and our consent,- we see no rea
son why the old gent cannot gratify
so reasonable a desire. The people
of California will interpose no objections.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
are an unfailing remedy for all diseases aris

blood, such as pale and sallow complexion,
feneral muscular weakness, loss of appetite,

am -58 yean old, and for 40 years up to
the time of tuis attack, I had not had a day's
sickness. The doctors who diagnosed my
case saw at once that it was something seri
ous. They at first said that it was lumbago
then sciatic rheumatism. They finally
came to the conclusion they did not know
what was the matter with me. I experi
enced no pain, my head was clear, my ap
petite good, but I lost the use of myself from
my hips down. This was a hard stroke
to an active man who has always had an
easy going pan- of legs. My brother-in-law,
who is a physician, came from "a neighbor

fliction to be locomotor ataxia. I am of the
opinion that he diagnosed the case correctly

Indianapolis Newt and saw testimonials de
scribing cases cured that were similar to
mine. It struck me that the remedy could
not do me any harm and I began to take the
pills.

stir a peg, but had to be carried from place
