Our cstteuietl contemporary, tbe
Baker City Republican, Las dropped
into tbe habit lately of viewing the
necessities of this great common
wealth of ours from various points
of view ami urging the necessity of
liberal appropriations from congress
for measures that ore absolutely
necessary for the development of
our resources. Then, as if by
natural sequence, the coming sena
torial contest is introduced and a
pen picture is given of the only kind
of senator that will be able to urge
these necessary appropriations from
a reluctant congress and then by a
dexterous twist of the pea the living
imne of Ex Senator Coibett stands
revealed.
After performing one of these
feats of editorial legerdemain last
Thursday the Republican teems to
have realized for a moment that
somebody in the crowd wis making
faces at the image It had conjured
up and it gave vent to the following
little side-speech :
"There are those who oppose this
election because he (Mr. Corbett) is
a man of wealth. In fact that is tbe
only objection we have beard raised,"
and then the Republican very Justly
roasted tbe ltryanites and populists
for their "silly mania that the sue
cessful men shall not be eligible for
office."
But where has the Republican
been all these years if it never heard
an objection against Mr. Corbett
save that he is a man of wealth?
Has the Republican never heard of
the legislative bold -up of 1897? Is
it not a matter of common report,
we bad almost said of common
knowledge and belief, that this "man
of wealth" furnished the sack that
Jonathan Bourne used to such ad
vantage for defeating the will of the
majority of the legislature and ac
complishing a most revolutionary
and unrepublican proceeding? Does
tbe Republican not know that Mr.
Corbett was himself a candidate for
the senatorship, a candidate, by the
way, who would not be thought of
in a thousand years were it not that
be is a man of wealth, and that to
defeat Mitchell every populist In the
lower house, by the open, twice-
published confession U'Ren of Clack
amas, who was one of them, was
bought off from taking the oath of
office and assisting in organizing the
bouse, and that the active agent in
accomplishing this work was a man
who was, at the time, practically a
pauper? Is it not a fact that the
headquarters of this practical pauper
was an extensive building filled with
every luxury that conld tickle the
palate and debauch the senses, as
well as with a harem of Cyprians
from the purlieus of Portland for tbe
gratification of the grosser beasts?
Does the Republican believe that
it could find a score of men in Ore
gon who are in any measure ac
quainted with the history of the
legislative hold-up who could be got
to testify that they do not believe
that it was Corbett's money that was
used in this and other ways to de
bauch tbe legislature? It is the
solemn and honest belief of the editor
of The Chkonki.k that Ibis man
Corbett has done more to corrupt
the politics of this state tban any
man living, save, possibly and al
wajs, Senator Simon. And Ibis is
the man a clamorous republican
faction would foist on the people of
Oregon for senator. Miy a merciful
heaven foibid!
the Union Livestock Company. Jer
ry has become a corporation all by
himself! Let him not be guilty of
tbe awful crime of trying to make all
tbe money be can, which, according
to good populist doctrine, is all right
for tbe farmer, but oppicssion for
the middleman and tbe corporation.
Tbe next thing Kansas populists
know Jerry may try to break into
the republican party.
This question of the. passage of a
shipping subsidy bill, says the New
York Sun, is not a question whether
tbe country shall undertake the task
of increasing tbe business of a few
shipbuilders and making them rich.
It is not a question of benefiting tbe
scacoast at tbe expense of the rest of
tbe country and of adding to the
wealth and business of a few sea
ports. It is a question of developing
trade that is of tbe most far reaching
consequences. This matter 'reaches
deep into tbe interior and affects di
rectly tbe farmer thousands of miles
inland and woikingmen in every
part of tbe country. A hundred iu
d us tries are concerned in various
ways. There is a vital relation be
tween the farmer of the Central
West, tbe iron ore miner of tbe
North, the lumberman North and
South and the restoration of tbe
American flag to the commerce of
tbe ocean.
The band of destiny points toward
the sea. Let tbe flag go up, not on
ships bought and brought from other
countries, but on ships made here
from truck to keelson. Let the
hammers ring and let every rivet
driven home proclaim the fallacy of
the free ship policy and make stanch
and right the truer policy of tbe
restoration of our merchant marine
by wise and prompt legislation.
SHIP bl'BSlDY MENDACITY.
If The Chronicle had any thought
of supporting Mr. Corbett, of Port
land, for the United States senate, it
would hardly dare say so, under the
circumstances. Tbe reader will ask,
"Why?" This paper has been re -
ljably informed, and Grmly believes,
that there has been a general canvass
of this state by Mr. Corbett's agents,
the principal purpose being tbe pur
chase of newspaper thunder in the
interest of Mr. Corbett. The Chuox
kle cannot be bought, and proposes
to be above suspicion by keeping
clear of any sort of support of Mr,
Corbett. Besides, he is totally unfit
for the United States senate, but is
an easy maik for the bosses, hence
the opening of the bar'l.
If tbe bbip subsidy bill is as bad
as some of our democratic contem
poraries arc trying to make it, surely
it is not necessary to lie about it in
order to make it appear worse. An
article in a Baker City paper,
credited to the Salt Lake Herald,
after characterising tbe bill as "the
most gigantic steal that has ever
been masked in the guise of paternal
legislation" adds that:
The total cost to tbe people of
the United State in the payment of
subsidies during tbe life of the
measure has been estimated at more
than 1,500,000,000."
"Estimated" by whom, we 6bould
like to know? Tbe "estimate"
would have been just as correct if
ten more ciphers bad been added to
the right of it. The bill distinctly
provides that tbe aggregate amount
of the subsidy shall not, in any one
year, exceed 9,000,000, and as it
provides tha; subsidized vessels shall
carry the United States mails free of
charge, as against a present annual
cost to the government of a million
and a half dollais, the net annual
amount of the subsidy would never
exceed $7,500,000. Tbe "estimate" of
tbe Salt Lake paper is therefore cor
rect only on the supposition that tbe
bill, when it becomes a law, shall
have an cxislance of exactly 200
years!
The Herald estimates, presumably
on its own hook, that the Standard
Oil Company alone will reap a round
million from the ship subsidy "steal."
Possibly, for it must be admitted
that tbe Standard Oil Company gen
erally gets there with both feet, but
in that case the company will either
have to build the number of new
vessels necessary to earn tbe million
dollars of subsidy or change tbe
present form of their vessels, which
are simply huge oil tanks, and in tbe
latter case they would be required,
besides, to build new tODnage equiv
alent to at least 25 per cent of their
present tonnage, the end and aim
of the bill, whatever its wisdom, be
ing the increase of the number of
ocean going vessels that carry the
American flag.
The Hewer Queetlon Again.
Th Dai-lbs, Dec. 10, 1900.
To the Editok:
A communication signed "X" in your
paper again open the sewer question.
First. "X" says that the system adopted
by the council and beaten by the tax
payers wonid probably be the cheapest
and best. Now, Mr. Editor, ail think
lng men know that we need sewers; but
why should tLis city adopt a plan of
sewerage where the fall, according to
"X," is bat Uiree inches to'the hundred
feet, (see plans at recorder's office) when
Datura has provided an abundant fall
from bluff to river.
Again, "X" says it would be expen
sive to go nnder the railroad at various
points. I will cite "X" to the fact that
the couring mill went under tbe rail
road track a whole street at an expense
of not more than 28, exclusive of the
pipe, and I believo ttiat the same can be
done at most other points hen neces
sary to cross. Laying a drain down Mill
creek (if the privilege can be got with
out expense) I believe would cost more
and would be carrying all of our eggs to
market in one basket, whereas by the
present system we divide the risk.
As to the payment of cost, I say let
all pay that attach, or expect to, as a
sewer if good for one is good for all.

Other nations were also equipping their

We had another hold-up last night

taken, we shall have them right along,

not safe for any one to be alone on the
streets after dark.
Fred Stewart, a young man represent

Portland, is rooming while here in tbe
