IIIXC ILLAE LACRIMAE.
As Mark Antony said nt the grave
of Ctesar, "If you have tears to abed
nrpnarc to shed them now." The
Oregonian weeps. Let us swipe a
onion peel and weep with it. XI;
Republican state convention refuse
to "indorse the brave stand made by
Senator Simon in congress." and the
Oreganian refuses to be comforted
It touches our heart of hearts to see
this Damon and Pythias affection
unrecognized. What a lot of ingrate
chumps these Oregon Republicans
tire an way. If the name of Simon
was too sacred to be used in a con
ventional indorsement, why did not
the lunkheads "indorse the brav
etind made by the Democratic party
and let it go at thit? The worlr
would have known what they meant
and would have "reverenced their
modesty. And the tears of the Ore
gouian would have been spared for
the defeat of Brother Corbett later
on. Can it be that the delegates
imagined that an indorsement
Simon would Lave been a reflection
on McBiide, Tongue and Moody,
not to say McKinley and the whole
Republican administration? What
right bad the delegates to imagin
anything? Who cares Jor McBrid
or Tongue or Moody or McKinley
or anybody but dear, "brave" Sen
ator Simon? Ah mel What cruel
monsters these Republican delegates
are! Brother Scott, you have The
Ciiiionici.e's most distinguished com
miseration.
"FREE TRADE AND THE CONSTI
TUTION."
In discussing the Puerto Rican
bill the New York Tribune calls at
tention to some facts that must be
known before one is competent to
pronounce a fair judgment on tbe
bill. The Tribune says:
"Puerto Kico tradesmen, we are
told, cannot reconcile themselves to
the tariff imposition.' They want
free trade under the constitution.
But do they realize what that would
involve in regard to their own
interest? It would mean the imposi
tiou upon them, also, of our entire
internal revenue system, including
the tax on tobacco, the stamp taxes
and all the rest. Do .the Puerto
Ricans want that? We are told that
they do not. Iu fact, they have
protested against it as strongly as
they have asked for free trade. But
they cannot cut and carve tbe con
stitutton to suit their own' taste and
Taney, it l tie constitution is ex
tended to their island, so as to make
their tariff system a part of ours, it
roust be extended in its entirety, so
as to make their internal revenue
system identical with ours. Suppose
they and their bot-gospeller friends
turn tbeir consideration trom tbe
tariff for a moment and fix it upon
the internal, revenue. They may
And therein nutritious food for
thought."
The first plank in the Democratic
state platform reads as follows: "We,
the Democrats of Oregon, in conven
tion assembled, do hereby affirm and
indorse, in whole and in part, in
letter and in spirit, tbe platform
adopted by the Democratic conven
tion held in Chicago in 1896. And
the money plank of the Democratic,
People's party and Silver Republican
parties of 1898." The clauso in
brackets was added as the price tbe
Democrats had o pay the Pops for
their help to pull the Democratic
chestnuts out of the fire. Then
when they Lad adopted the platform
with a whoop they nominated a gold
standard banker from Lakeview, as
their candidate for congress from
the First district.
There might be some force in tbe
talk about oppression of unrepre
sented Puerto Rico, says tbe New
York Tribune, if congress were to
levy special and higher taxes on it
than on tbe home territories for
federal purposes. But it has done
no such thing. It levies no taxes
on Puerto Rico for fedcrnl purposes,
and for local purposes levies a tax of
which Americans trading with Puerto
Rico must bear a share, instead of
putting the whole burden on tbe
island. If that is oppression of
Puerto Rico, make the most of it.
In fact, it is uncommon generosity,
and nobody would dare question
it except in the confusion over the
novelty of a customs tariff being
levied for purposes of local taxation,
acoursa warranted in this case by
the peculiar conditions of the island,
and fairly entitled to a trial before
being denounced. It no more vio
lates pledges given to Puerto Rico
than would the levying by congress
of a direct tax for building a road
in the island.
HERE FACTIOUS Ol'l'OSl TIOS.
Tho men in congrcs3 aod Oui of
congress who have opposed the
Puerto Rican bill have not suggested
any alternative, says the Salem
Statesman. TLey have not said Low
tbe money should be raised to pay
the costs of the government and the
improvements in the island. When
they Lave voted against the bill,
they have voted to let the Dingley
duties remain voted for 100 per
cent instead of 15 per cent of tbe i
duties tbat have been charged.
The whole of tho opposition has
been merely an attack upon the ad
ministration, coupled with an attempt
to gain some advantage by the men
in this country favoring free trade,
There has been no consistency, no
fairness and no good business sense
in tbe opposition. The country is
waking up to these facts, and the
conclusion will be that the very best
thing has been done that could have
been done; and that the opposition
has been contemptible.
Tbe Oregonian, a short time ago,
said "Bryan is a far more dangerous
man this year than in 1896," and
Democratic papers all over tbe coun
try have been frothing at tbe mouth
over it ever since. It is a sad and
solemn truth, notwithstanding. Sil
verism is no longer a menace to the
country and no one dreads Bryan's
election on account of it. But
Bryanism caters to something infi
nitely worse than free silver. It
bids for the vote of every man who
imagines he has a grievance against
society, of every disciple of unrest
and revolution, of every socialist,
nihilist, communist, anarchist, or
by whatever name tho forces of rev
olution and tbe enemies of law and
order may be known. Tbe triumph
of Bryanism means the triumph of
these forces. In a war of this nature
there is no choice left to tbe man
who loves his country and its flag.
Bryanism must be annihilated by
patriotic American ballots. Tbe
salvation of the nation is in the
balance. Who tbe Republican nom
inee is, is a matter of small concern
On tbe first day of tbe present
month the volume of money in circu
lation in tbe United Slates was
found, for the first time in our
history, to exceed two billions. With
n estimated population of $77,395,-
uuu me per capita circulation is
26.12. Four' years ago, when
Bryan and his cohorts vere screech
ing that money would become scarcer
and dearer unless Bryan was elected
president, the per capita was $21.53
or $4.59 less than it is today. This
marvelous exhibit should satisfy
would satisfy anybody except a
Populist, who wants paper money to
trundle around by the wagon loud.
The low estimate placed by Ad'
miral Dewey upon tbe duties devolv-
ing upon tbe president ought to
encourage some of tho Multnomah
Democrats Judge O'Day, or Gen-
eral Kcllfeather or Pat Powers, for
example to aspire to tho ofUce.
Secretary Gage has decided that
the customs feature of the Puerto
Rico bill goes into operation on the
st day of May, 1900. This de
cision was made necessary in view of
discrepancy in Uic bill as to the
me tbe act should become operative.
TOM FITCH OS EXFASSIUS.
Tom Fitch, who will be remem
bered by old timers ns tho "silver
tongued" orator of the Pacific coast,
but who is hardly known to the
vouDeer eeneration, delivered a
speech in Salt Lake Cily a short
time aao on expansion that was
characterized bv all tbe Dre aud
wealth of diction that distinguished
tho author a quarter of a century
ago. The closing appeal to tbe
young men in the audience will bear
repetition. Mr. Fitch said :
"I have little hope that what I
bave said tonight will influence tbe
votes of the stubborn greybeards
who have turned tbeir faces away
from the light for lo! these many
years. 'Kpbraim is joined to his
idols; let him alone.' But among
this vast audience are many who are
standing upon the threshold of man
hood, and to them I appeal. Young
men, do you think it wise to link
your future with this record of past
blunders and promise of future mis
takes which calls itself the Democratic
party? Will you be content to ride
in their ramshackle wagon with your
feet hanging over the tailboard and
your face forever turned toward tbe
rear? Will you fasten tbe young,
bright-eyed, strong-limbed trotting
horse of ambition and hope in double
harness with a spavined and broken
kneed relic of tbe palezoic age of
politics? Will you accept tbe retro
gressive doctrines of tbe butternut
breeched saleratus-saturated nguc
shaken statesmen of tbe swamps?
Will you turn from tbe smooth high
way to stumble among tho recks and
brambles? Will you deny yourselves
tho music and lights and shelter of
the cathedral to skulk among (be
cold and gloomy gravestones of the
churchyard ?"
Tho Telegram says: "Senator Mc
Bride will be defeated is indeed
already defeated not because he is
not a man of extraordinary ability
or especial fitness for so high and
onerous a position, he knows that
he is not such a man but simply
because be was not big enough and
courageous enough to grasp a grea
question and openly, boldly and
forcefully take the right position
upon it." Tbe reference is, of
course, to tbe senator's vote on the
Puerto Rican bill. Inferentially, of
course, it apotheosize Senator Simon
for having tho courage "openly,
boldly and forcefully" to desert his
parly and vote with the Democrats.
But the logic is faulty. If McBride
is to be slaughtered because be voted
for the bill, why were Tongue and
Moody recominated after thej' had
done tno same tu:ngr li s a poor
rule tbat wont work both ways.
In a speech delivered in the lower
bouse of congress February 27th,
Joseph C. Cannon, of Illinois, made
tho following statement, which ac
counts for the tears which have been
shed by free-trade editors and speak
ers over the Puerto Rican tariff bill :
"Who has this tobacco 3,000,000
pounds in Puerto Rico? I will tell
you. 1 be merchant has it; and
am Informed that the tobacso trust
of the United States owns it, and
sends some of these poor Puerto
Rican-Amerioan people, if not Amer
ican people, over here to work for 'a
fair show for Puerto Rico.' Three
million pounds at 35 cents a pound.
If tbey could import it today, they
would have tbat duty to pay. If
tbat tobacco should come to the
United States, paying 35 cents a
pound, that would be $1,050,000
upon tobacco In tbe islands of the
American Tobacco Trust."
Portland Ftisionists bave not yet
agreed upon a ticket, and when tbey
do it is doubtful if any can be named
that will command tbe support of all
the incongruous elements it is hoped
to unite.
With refreshing inconsistency tbe
Republicans of Multnomah county
"indorsed the administration of Pres
ident McKinley" and then indorsed
Senator Simon for acting conspicu
ously in opposition to tho administration.

CHRIST IS RISEN.
putlcoUrlr beautiful in In decoration
ot potted plants and white flowers, ene
the exorcises of the day were most fit-
tin. . .
After the opening exerc.se ot tlie
morn!rjf, which included two beautiful
anthems by the choir, the pastor, Rev.
U. F. Hawk, took as bis text the word
"Sow is Christ Risen from the dead and
become the first fruits of them that
slept." By way of introduction e said
that nearly 190O years ago, as the first
light shone over ti e JuJ.-an hills, there
transpired an event which may well Is
termed the event of the ages. Bat a
day or two before a man from Galilee
bad teen nailed to the cross, suffering
death for a great cause. The body was
laid in the tomb, and remembering the
prophecy concerning his resurrection,
the king's seal was put upon the door
and a soldier placed on guard. But all
in vain, for the power of the God above
was manilest and an angel was sent to
roll away the stone, and the Lord came
forth. This great event we celebrat
today. It would seem that heaven and earth
combined to make this event the most
noted of tbe ages, and so understood by
all men. After a trial in accord with all
tbe requirements of the age, the con
demned was crucified publicly and be
fore the great throng, which was present
to attend tbe passover. While the peo
ple gazed in wonder, the heavens and
the earth bear witness to the import
ance of the event the sun clothed it
self in sackcloth, the earth vibrated, the
graves opened, while the veil of the
temple was rent in twain.
After dwelling for a short time on the
crucifixion aud the burial, the speaker
described the visit of tbe women to the
grave or, the morning of the third day,
aud in connection said tbat it seemed to
be ordained that with all such important
events woman should have an especial
connection. While many bad not dared
to visit the grave and others had per
haps forgotten, these two women were
permitted to be the first to greet the
risen Lord and bear his loving voice.
"But today what of this man of Gali
lee who was shamefully crucified and
held in dishonor? This morning as we
come "to celebrate the Easter day, we
see the eyes of king and princes, states
men and scholars gazing'to behold the
open grave. From all parts of the world
we see all eyes turned to him and the
millions receiving blm. Old men are
singing Ubrist n risen, while young
men and maidens take up the glad re
frain : and over the laud more than
4,900,000 people are calling him Lord
and Master."
.In closing Mr. Hawk dwelt on the im
port of the resurrection to believers and
the hope, joy and gladness which it
brings to sorrowing ones, as well as to
all the world tbia Easter day.
In the evening appropriate exercises
were given by the Sunday school, the
choir and others, which were not only
fitting, but very well rendeied and
greatly appreciated.
The offerings of tbe day, which were
generous, were devoted to missions.

Justice Brewer the other day told a
story of an Indian Justice of the peace
who owned a farm, says the Lewiston
Evening Journal. One line of hie fence
formed the boundary of the states of
Indiana and Ohio. Like others in rural
districts, who hold that office, he had an
abnormal appreciation of the responsi
bility of tbe office, and never lost an
opportunity lo exercise his prerogative
of demanding that the peace ba preserved.
One day .his son and his hired man
got to fighting on a stretch of the farm
near the boundary fence, and the Justice
f.u- , . . .
U1 peace rnsnea out and mounted
the fence. Then, with head cocked hluh
and the air of one who has but to com
mand, he shouted: "In tho name of
the state of Indiana I demand the pres
ervation of the peace!" Just then the
fence gave way under his weight, and as
he went down with the fence toppling
over to the Ohio side, he shouted to his
son: "Give him h 1 Jl
my jurisdiction.
