SCOTT, THE RIGHT MAN.
We learn, but not from the Ore-
sonian. that Hon. H. W. Scott is
now in Washington, for the" purpose
: of .urging the seating of Corbett.
It is quite proper that the chief
train-wrecker should be on hand to
look after the plunder. The gang
patterned after the farmer who dis
covered ' the boy in his apple tree
They first throw, grass, J. Thorburn
. Ross and Wallace McCamant, then
dirt, Tony Noltner, and now thev are
trying the effect of a pebble in Har-
Tey Scott. '
Mr. Scott goes back to convince
the senate that the legislature did
not meet and '. that, therefore, the
governor had the right to ap
point the senator. His words' ought
to have weight He can tell the
senate, none better, why it did not
meet. He can tell it that in the col
umns of the Oregonian, ihe great
paper of the Northwest, he
thundered forth the fiat, "When
Mitchell is out of the way the Ore
gon legislature will meet, and not
before." He can tell it ; that
he as editor of the Oregonian,
, bronght that paper's great influence
to the aid of Joe Simon, whom it has
repeatedly pronounced a "boss." He
can tell it that be joined hands with
Jonathan Bourne, whom he pro
nounced a traitor to the Republican
party, to prevent the legislature
meeting. He can tell it that he took
the Populist members to his heart
and coddled them as his first-born to
persuade them to avoid their
bounden duty. He can tell it that
. he boiled the slate convention and
fongbt the regular Republican nomi
nee for congress Ellis, for no other
. reason than-that the indorsement of
that gentleman, would prevent his
attacking Senator Mitchell's position.
lie can tell it that he and others in
veigled a decrepit old man to open
his purse and squander his money in
the pursuit of the will-o'-the-wisp,
honor, in the foul swamp of politics.
- He can tell it that he was the David
who gathered the soreheads from all
parties at his political cave of Ari
el uilam. He can tell il that moved
by blind hate of Mitchell he has, in
season and on I, fought that gentle
man and his friends, for eighteen
years. He can tell it that he under
took to pull Mitchell down eighteen
years ago. that he might step from
his prostrate body into his seat in
the senate. He can tell it that there
is no depth to which he will not de-
scend,no scheme of political treachery
' which his ears will not drink in
gladly, no assassination of Truth for
which the dagger of his pen is not
plucked forth, no follj too foolish to
allure him on to the accomplishment
of the one insatiate desire of his dis
appointed heart the destruction of
Jonn H. Mitchell.
If his statements are not heeded
by the senate, let the Corbett gang
send on its other leaders. Let it
forward Joe Simon - and Jonathan
Bourne, U'Ren. Barclay, Bilyeu and
all that host of noble patriots who
disgiaced civilization at Salem. Let
the senate, in its capacity as a jury,
look upon the faces of the witnesses,
and then seat Corbett if it can.
A GENTLE AMUSEMENT.-
The gentle science of boxing, or
the manly art of self-defense, which
ever form you prefer, has received
another set-back at San Jose, Calif
ornia. ; . . ;
Frank Evans and Matt Semichy,
two gentlemanly representatives
of the dainty gentlemen who pummel
each others mugs on scientific prin
ciples for a consideration, met before
the San Jose Athletic Club a few
days ago to debate the question as
to which was the better man. . The
argument lasted through all the
stages of that kind of pleading.
There was the complaint presented
with the right hand of one, the de
murrer filed on bis antagonist's nose
by the other, then followed in quick
succession the answer, the reply, the
rejoinder, the sur-rejoinder, ihe re
butter, the sur-rebutter and the pleas
in continuance. ". During the four
teenth Semichy advanced a forci
ble argument that struck Eves on
the point of the chin, and the Rub
sequent proceedings interested bim
no more. He fell like a log, was
carried from . the ring and in a day
or so took passage with old Charon
into the land of shadows, where, let
us hope, armed with , the cestus, be
may box the happy hours away with
some or virgirs men or miguiy
prowess. . '.' 4
Evans is dead, and will remain so
for a long time. The debate was in
some respects expensive to him, but
just think what a good time the
crop-haired gentry had all for $5
apiece. What thrills of pleasure
must have chased themselves up and
down the spinal columns of that
crowd of noble men, as they saw the
insensible form of the defeated le-r
Later carried out of the blood-stained
ring. And yet the brutal legislatures
of every state in the Union have de
clared this gentle amusement un
lawful.
LIVING GREECE NO MORE."
It is classic ground the modern
Greeks are defending from the Turks,
as the ancient Greeks might have de
fended it against the Persians, had
not the Thessalians played them
false. The plain of Thessaly was the
garden and battleground of historical
Greece, like Belgium in Europe,
Here alone was space enough to
make wide farms and move great
armies. It fed Rome with wheat
and saw - the greatest battles of bis
tory. ;
Thessaly was the fairyland of
mythical Greece. ..Peneus drains it.
It is entered through the lovely vale
Tempe, cleft by Poisedon and cele
brated by Greek poets from Anacreon
to Walter Savage Landor. Olym
pus, Pelion and Pmdus mount them
in and overshadow the plain. The
Salambria is the ancient Peneus, and
the Gulf of Volo is the ancient Pa
gasae. From here Jason sailed with
his Argonauts and Achilles led his
Myrmidons to TrOy. Thessaly was
the home of the Eacidae. Silver
footed Thetis had a temple there and
Chiron nourished the goddess born
in the caves' of Pelion.
This plain was the stage of many
world-dramas of history. Xerxes
crossed It, with connivance of the
Thessalians, on his way to Thermop
ylae, end retreated across it after
Salamis and Platea. On it Cynos
cephalae, twice famous in battle, saw
Thebes victorious and Philip of Ma
ccdon crushed by the Roman power.
One and a half centuries later, and
only a few miles away, the fate of
the Roman world -was decided at
Pharsalia. Caesar's 5 legions came
through ' the Pindus passes, where
Turks and Greeks are now struggling,
to meet Pompey's eastern forces on
the plain between present Larissa
and the Gulf of Volo. Two thous
and years later Europe and Asia are
in combat on the same ground.
Seventeen years after Pharsalia, the
young -Octavius, defeated Mark An
thony and Cleopatra off Aetium,
which is the very point from which
the Greeks have been - bombarding
Prevesa. The old Ambracian gulf
became Antony's Bay of Actlum, and
is now the Bay of Aita, separating
Thessaly and Epirus. Land and sea
here reek of battle memories like the
low countries. ,
Glorious traditions cluster about
Thessaly, but cold-blooded ethnolo
gists insist that the modern Greets
have small right to claim their inher
itance. These Greeks can be Hel
lenes only in name. . Fifteen centu
ries of political servitude and social
chaos separate them from the pure
race the Romans found, spared and
preferred. But after the Romans
came Goths, Serbs, Huns,' Bulgars
barbarians who ravaged Greece with
fire and sword and enslaved the sur
vivors, mingling their blood with
their own. After these came Nor
man and Italian crusaders, Venetian
and Florentine merchants, and finally
five centuries of slavery to the Turks.
Not less than ten of these fifteen
centuries were times of such grinding
and mixture of human material as
destroys all continuity of race. ; Un
der the Roman and Eastern empires
and the feudal monarchies of the
Crusades the Greeks lived and reared
families, though . in political slavery,
But Goths, Bulgars and Turks re-
garded life and domestic tie3 ho
more than if dealing with beasts,
Greeks of purest strain were ravished
as slaves, and all of ambition and en-
ergy sought relief in exile. Proba-
bly the purest Hellenasnow are those
whose ancestors never saw Hellas,
Only the dregs of the native popula-
tion remained to mix with the low-
est of successive waves. of invasion
and produce the hybrid race now
battling under a Danish king in the
name of Hellenic traditions. Schol-
ars think that probably this race is
nine-tenths Slavic' If . so, it might
be well content as a member of a
Balkan confederacy under Russian
protection Oregonian.
THE POSH PUSHES.
The Corbett push is
It, is in the fight j to win.; It has
nothing to lose, every thing. to gain,
and it is ; working the racket for all
there is in it. It has sent J. Thor-
burn Ross. Wallace McCamant, Tonv
Noltner.'and his accidency, the gov-
ernor of this state, the last named
gentleman being the. last to go, to the
front." They are attacking the prop
osition on the cumulative plan, and
they have about reached their limit.
Scott might ' easily represent the
devil, and Lord the deep, deep blue
sea. " . ' '
Between the two, Corbett is liable
to lose his reckoniug. Th j governor
can ipdorse Scott, and Scott can lend
credence to anything' the governor
might say. By each other's kindly
aid each " may. be able to prove an
alibi. Scott can prove he was not in
Salem by Lord; Lord can prove by
Scott that he didn't do a thing until
the legislature, which never met, ad
journed. They can prove by each
other that Lord's message to the leg
islature was delivered to the Orego-
nian, and in consequence' that paper
imagined it was the law-making
power of the state. . It still has that
idea, but it is mistaken. .
There remains Simon, and back of
Simon loom up the shanky Bilyeu,
the oily U'Ren, the prayerful Bar-
clay,, the infantile Jones from Sherar's
Bridge. These should be called in.
Edmunds and Hoar and Cullom, Al-
lisonl Vest, and the balance of the
light weights of the senate who need
information, should have something
weighter than Scott and Lord. Our
own only J). IN. Jones is, tl.e man.
He weighs 250 pounds, and is as reti-
cent as the shades of Hades. By all
means let Jones of Sherar's Bridge
be added to the list. It may be
pensive, but Corbett pays.the freight,

light on the senatorial proposition.

The Reform c.'ub of New York
gave a dinner at the swell hotel of
New York, "The Waldorf," Satur- J
day nioht, at which ex-President
Cleveland responded to the toast
"Present Problem." The ex-president
of course declared adherence to
the "single gold standard" and at
tributes the 'discontent of the coun
try" to the work of demagogues and
"ruthless agitators." Mr. Cleveland,
as usual, tails to see the real cause of
discontent and simply sends up the
"shrill cry" of his own environment
in his effort to read the signs of the
times. Mr. Cleveland's speech reads
well and probably sounded patriotic
to the well-fed fellows who heard it
but it will fail to reach the hearts of
the people, as it contains nothing of
point and good cheer to them. . Mr.
Cleveland spoke , to the "business
judgment of the country" and con

MSHED TO THEIR . DEATH
ELECTRIC CAR JUMPS THE TRACK
IN EAST PORTLAND.
Thirty-row Passengers
Thrown Into

Killed, and All Are Hart.
Portland, April 27, 1897. Special to
Tub Chronicle. An electric car on the
Mt. Tabor line jamped the track this
morning at East Morrison and Eighth
streets and plunged through the bridge
Into the slough, 25 feet below.' There
were thirty-four people in the car when
the accident happened, and it is now be-
llieved only three were killed, three
bodies having been recovered, those of

SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.
Immense Trade of the Scotch River
, . Last Vcar a Record rjrealter.
People generally have a very faint idea
of the extent of the, shipbuilding ' in
dustry on .herivex Clyde, Scotland, says
the- Fall River JXcws. Some ptatistics
have come to hand, however, which tell
the story in a measure.- In a recent
issue of the North Eritish Mail, of Glas
gow, 70 firm 3 are named who are con
structing from one to ten large vessels
from twin-screw steamers of 1,000 tons
up: to first-class cruvsers and batt:
ships of 16,500-borse power. The year
1896 was a record-breaker on the Clyde,
tut- the prospects for 1897 are equally
satisfactory. - The work on hand rep
resents about 310,000 gross register
tons. ' Compared with last. year this
shows an increase of 50,000 tons. The.
marine engineering trade is also well
represented in 336,000-horse power, or
40,000 over that of the previous year.
Ihe government orders include one
line of battle ship, two first-class cruis
ers and three second-class cruisers,
The largest order given to the Clyde
for a long time nas that for the Nippon
Yussen Kaisha, cf Japan. This con
sisted of ten steamers of 5,824 tons reg
ister and 7,500 deadweight, tons each.
Four of these arc already launched and
six are being built three in the yard
of D. & W. Hendsrson and three n
that of Napier, Shanks & Bell. The
money value of the contract represents
well on to $5,000,000. .
