A HANDSOME COMPLIMENT.
The Grass Valley Journal pays the
following handsome compliment to
one of our republican candidates for
joint senator:
T. II. Johnston, republican nomi
nee for joint senator in the 20th
senatorial district, consisting of
Sherman aud W9CO counties, was
born in the province of New Bruns
wick 47 years ago. Twenty-two of
these years have been spent in
Wasco county, using his energy and
money in the development or tier
fisheries, farms, stock-raising and
lumberins interests and without a
failure to score against him during
thut period.
Mr. Johnston now sfands at the
head of one of the heaviest retail
mercantile establishments in this dis
trict, (Johnston Bros., of Dufw) and
is one of the most successful farmers
and slock raisers in his county. A
leader in all relating to the business
or educational interests of his state,
few men have hnd equal opportunity
to know Eastern Oregon's need in
the way of legislation. Always a
republican, but for three terms al
most the unanimous choice as coun
cilman at his home city.
Mr. Johnston was nominated joint
senator by acclamation in thr late
convention at Portland, and if there
is a man who can, as a legislative
candidate, obliterate party lines and
go into office as the choice of the
people, it is the genial, whole souled
"Hues" Johnston. The energy and
and ability that has mado Mr.
Johnston a success in all his under
takings will make him a leader in
the next state senate, and an honor
to his party, his district and bis state.
the cruel and murderous blowing up
of the Maine, should be held as the
permanent possession of the L" tilted
Stales. It believes that the cation
will repudiate any paity that would
basely surrender the priceless betie
flts of national expansion, and any
candidate for the presidency whose
utterance inspire ad girengihen the
murderous insurgents in the Philip
pines to make causeless war against
their own liberties and sacrifice of
the lives of our brave soldiers.
A MOST UNO EN E 1(0 US CRITIQUE.
The Oiegonian's critique on Senator
McBiide's vole on the exclusion of
Quay is worthy of comment even at
this late hour. It is as follows:
"Simon could not vote for Quay,
in the circumstances; and McBride,
who undoubtedly would have been
glad to vote for Quay, was precluded
by his vote against CoTbett, whom
he opposed for personal and cheap
political reasons. Beyond doubt the
bitterest pill that McBride has yet
swallowed was this compulsory vote
against Quay."
No generous mind could be guilty
of such a criticism as that. The
scurviest cur that crawls at its
master's feet is worthy of better
treatment. The Oregonian over
shoots its own mark. The ungecer
ousness, not to say rank injustice, of
such criticism will make friends for
Mr. McBride instead of enemies
Dear Senator Simon votes to exclude
Quay. He does it from motives of
consistency and could not do other
wise. Poor McBride dors the same
thing, and does it from motives of
consistency, too, and could not do
otherwise. But there was a differ
ence in the men voted against, and
the old Silurian, whose money de
bauched the legislature and whom
Simon ultimately dim flam mod out of
the) senatoftbip was the special pet
of the Oregonian. A fid that's the
reason that what was noble and
patriotic in Simon was cheap and
contemptible in McBride. The truth
is Simon was once right when he
voted to exclude Quay, but McBride
was twice right when he voted to
exclude both Cor be It ami Quay, and
for substantially the same reason In
both cases.
Last Thursday the ttearaship
Ponce landed in the port of New
York from Porto Itio 1,093 hogs
beads and 9,91)0 bags of sugar and
2,131 bales of tobacco, the first of
shipments that may be doubled or
quadrupled within a few weeks.
This confirms the contention of ad
ministration republicans that large
quantities of sugar and tobacco,
owned bv the sucar and tobacco
trusts, were awaiting shipment from
Porto liico, while the Porto Kico
bill was pending; and that their free
admission into the United States
was the very thing the trusts wanted.
HON. J. N. WILLIAMSON.
The populist national convention
have nominated Charles A. Townc, of
Minnesota, as running mate for W.
J. Bryan, and the democrats will
have to accept this prince of silver
cranks and indorse the nomination
or forfeit the support of the populist
party. Towne is a free silver crank,
pure and simple, and nothing else.
The Telegram says he is bound to
"bust" the party wide open and all
that the democrats will have to do
wben the national convention in
dorses him is to bunch themselves
together and await the shock.
The Chuonk.le knows whereof it
speaks tthen it says that J. N. Will
iamson, republican candidate for
j int senator, will sweep bis own
liorcc county of Crook like a cyclone.
He is a man cf unquestioned ability
and integrity, and those who know
him test and longest have no honors
in their gift that they would not
bestow upon bira. The I,kc coun
ty Examiner has this to sny of Mr.
Williamson:
Hon. J. N. Williamson, who was
nominated for joint senator by the
republican state 'convention from
Crook count, for the counties com
prising Lake, Klamath, Crook and
Wasco, is an old-time republican
and was a representative from Crotik
county at the last session of the
legislature. He was the author of
the II. B. No. 108, creating a scalp
bounty fund atd to levy a sheep tax
for the protection of sheep in the
state. Mr. Williamson introduced
many other good bills, among them
II. B. No. 373, to assist in the erec
tion of a monument to the veterans
of the Spanish-American war. Mr.
Williamson is a prominent stockman
of Crook county, and is a man of
much ability.
BRYAN'S POPULIST PLATFORM.
The average price of Oregon wool
in 189C, the last year of the Cleve
land administration, was 8 cents a
pound and hundreds of clips did not
bring 6 cents. In 1897, the first
year of the McKinley administration,
it rose to 10 J. In 1898 the average
was 13 cents, and in 1899, 13.
During the last three years, on a clip
of 15,000,000 pounds, there bas been
an average gain of half a million dol
lars to the wool growers of Oregon
every year. It is on exhibits such
as this that the republican party asks
to be retained in power.
Pinned to a blanket recently pre
sented to Mr. Bryan in New Mexico,
was the following note: "Unler
the republican administration the
wool in this blanket sells for 22 cents
a pound. Under the democratic ad
ministration it sold for 5 cents.
Please tell this to your constituents."
At last advices Mr. Bryan had not
read Ibis campaign tip at any of his
meetings.
The per capita crept up another
peg in April, and now stands at
126.58, the highest in all our history.
And what is of still greater import
ance, the per "pokcta" keeps pace
with tbo per capita. The world has
no parallel to the commercial and
financial prosperity of this country
during the past three years. To
vote for o change would be to repeat
the madness of '92.
Exports of American manufact
ures will pass the 1100,000,000 mark
for the fiscal year ending with next
month. In 1895 they only amount
ed to 1183,595,743. And yet there
are a few people who are (till op
posing protection and commercial
expansion.
The republican party believes that
every foot of Spanish soil on which
the American flag was planted by
American valor, in a war provoked
by Spanish dcspotUm in Cuba and.
The democratic party has come to
a pretty pass. It must either accept
the candidates of a populist nation-
list convention and a platform
made by such political paranoics as
Allen Pettigrew, Tone, Weaver,
Sockless Jerry, Tornado Jones and
Cyclone Davis, or else throw Bryan
overboard and go it alone.
With 100 per cent increase in the
population of tho United States
during the last thirty years, there
Las been an increase of only sixty
per cent in our total imports of
foreign goods, says the Albany
Herald. This shows how the Amcri
can workman under protection is
acquiring the American market.
When Bryan accepts the nomina
tion tendered him by the populist
national convention, and he will
accept it or lose their support, he
will indorse the following plank in
the populist platform:
"We denounce the action of the
governor of Idaho, end the federal
government in using the military
arm of the government to abridge
and suppress the civil and inherent
rights of the laborers of the Coeur
d'AIene by establishing an infamous
permit system, which denies citizens
the sacred right of organization for
their mutual sdvanccmcnt and com
pels them to renounce their manhood,
their liberties and their rights before
being permitted to seek employ
ment."
The wildest anarchist convention
could not write anything worse than
this. It condemns the authorities
for suppressing the worst gang of
dynamiters and murderers that ever
cursed the American continent since
the Molly Maguires terrorized the
coal regions of Pennsylvania. And
Bryan must accept this plank and
the democratic party must temporize
with anarchy and accept Bryan!
Then the people will rise in their
majesty and grind Bryanism and
all its works into impalpable dust.
Why don't our democratic ex
changes point with pride to the ful
fillment of the prophesies made by
Bryan four -cars ago? We were to
have 25 cent wheat and 5 cent cotton
and 15 cent corn. Wretchedness
and poverty Bnd distress were to be
allprevailing. The "money power"
was to contract the currency, drive
gold out of circulation, drive green
backs out of circulation and bring
the country to the bow-wows.
Wages were to be cut so low that
the laboring man would not be able
to earn enough to buy him bread.
Our tariff laws were to shut us out
of the foreign matkets. Lombard
Street and Wall Street were to con
spire against the common people and
grind them into the dust. All these
horrible thines, and more, were to
happen if we did not get Bryan and
16 to 1. We got neither, thank
God, and have managed to get along
tolerably well without them.
The finances of Wasco county
were never in belter or safer hands
than those ot Treasurer C. L. Phil
lips, and the voters of the county
can do no better than leave - them
there for two years more.
The Globe DetrocMt says it is
proposed by the Gocbclites to amend
the Kentucky election law so that a
man who votes the republican ticket
can have his sentence commuted to American 13 by
imprisonment for life. j political campaigns.
If The Dalles is going to have a
celebration on the coming Fourth it
is high time we should say so. If
nobody wants a celebration here
silence will do no harm, but if a
celebration is wanted tho announce
ment of the fact should not bo de
layed till outside towns and villages
have made arrangements that would
seriously interfere with the success of
a celebration at The Dalles. Who
will take the initiative in this matter?
Why not cull a mass meeting and
try to find out if a celebration is
wanted? Wc have had no celebra
tion for years. Surely the time is
ripe for a rousing one this year.
Candidate for Congressman Smith,
it is said, condemns the use of the
republicans in
We tell friend!
Smith that the republican party bas
an established right to use that flag.
If it had not ben for the republican
party the nation, as such, would have
noflig- If it had not been for tu
republican party the symbol of the
union would be the emblem cf ci
vision und the stars and bars woul
be floating over the South.

The Koseburg Plaindealer says
there is not much likelihood that the
dinner pail will figure in democratic
campaign speeches this year. They
are not so full of wind as they were
four years ago.
