, REPUBLICAN PARTfS BIRTSDA T.
The suggestion of the Union Ropub
licati Club of Washington, D. C, that
there be a celebration this year of the
fortieth anniversary of the birth of the
republican party ought to meet with
general favor among republicans. If
there is to be any general observance
of the day it ought to be held on Feb
ruary 22. On that day of that month
in 1856 took place the first national
gathering of republicans which aver
mat. It assembled in Pittsburg, in
obedience to a call of the chairman of
the republican state cornmitUe of
Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan,
Indiana and Wiscousin. As is true,
of course, of all political parties, the
republican party had state before it
had a national organisation. The
Pittsburg gathering, which was at
tended by representatives of the party
from twenty-four states, framed a na
tional organization for the party, and
the national committee then chosen
called the Philadelphia convention of
June 17, 1856, which made John C.
Fremont the party's standard-bearer
for president.
It is usually difficult and often im
possible to fix upon the precise begin
ning of a great social or political up
heaval, frequently the real starting
point of a movement is much farther
back than the time when that move
ment began to take concrete shape.
This is particularly true of the genesis
of political parties. Ia the case of the
republican party, however, the begin
ning can be pointed out with a little
more confidence than can that of any
other great political organization ex
cept the federalist. That party had
its starting point in the convention of
1787 which framed the constitution.
Its antagonist, the republican or democratic-republican
party of Jefferson,
Madison and Gallatin, had its origin
in the debates in the same gathering,
bat it did not begin to take organized
shape until the discussion of the Jay
treaty in the house of representatives
in 1795 and the presidential election
of 1796, while the starting point of its
historical successor, the democratic
party of Jackson and Buchanan, can
m put anywhere between 1825 and
1829. Considerable haze also envelops
the actual birth point of the national
republican party of 1825-34, and the
whig party of 1834-54, the predecessors
of the present republican organization.
Bat for ail practical purposes the
bsvinning of the republican party can
be pointed out .with a reasonable de
giee of precision. The impulse, of
course, which led to its formation was
generated by the Kansas-Nebraska bill
signed by President Pierce May 30,
1854, opening the territories north of
the Missouri line of 36 30 to slavery,
Which forced all the enemies of slavery
extention abolitionists, free Boilers,
anti-slavery whigs and anti-slavery
democrats into the combination
which took the name of the republican
party. The republican name was
adopted in Bipon, Wis., as early as
March, . 1854, before the Kansas bill
passed, but when its enactment was
seen to be inevitable. Michigan, how
ever, has the honor of holding the first
state gathering that selected that
name, which met on July 6, 1854. As
before mentioned, the first national
gathering of the party was that which
met in Pittsburg on February 22, 1856.
The fortieth anniversary of the party's
birth will be at hand shortly, and the
republicans throughout the country
should take steps to bring about an
appropriate observance of the occasion,
All the large parties and some of the
small ones have, at different times.
rendered valuable service to the coun
try, but none of them were so strong
in constructive statesmanship as the
republican party or had such a glor
ious record except the great party of
Washington, Adams, Hamilton and
the Pinckneys, which laid the founda
tions upon which the edifice of the
government has been built.
A PARTI Or SPOILSMEN.
Notwithstanding the populist nartv
in the past has claimed to be a middle
of the road party, the inconsistency of
such a claim becomes more apparent
every day, anel as a matter of fact they
have always fused with One or the
other of the old parties wherever and
whenever by so doing they thought it
possible lo gain a looting and to get
an office. This fact is most noticeable
io counties or states where one or the
other of the old parties have had a
large majority in the past. Thj spoils
of office is a populist's ideal of a plat
form, and to secure that end they are
willing to enter into a coalition with
either party. It will be observed thut
in comities in this state where the re
publicans have a large majority the
populists court a fusion with the dem
ocrats, and in counties where the dem
ocrat have a large majority they re
verse their sentiments and court the
republicans. The same condition holds
good in the different slates of the
Union. For instance, in Oregon, as
state, the populists desire a fusion
with the democrats, and in Alabama,
where the democrats have a large ma-
ionty the fusion with democrats is
attempted. Indeed, all over the coun
try the populist party is made up of
disgruntled members of the party in
power strengthened bv a majority of
the hopeless minority parly. It
anything for an office, and principle
cuts no figure in the case.
Another of their inconsistencies is
this: In the silver producing slates
they claim that free silver is their
monetary ideal, as is the case in Col
orado. But in Oregon they are for
fiat monev ereenbacks. the crovern-
ment's promise to pay, and these
greenbacks unredeemable. As a mat
ter of fact the populist party is in favor
of fiat money all over the country, but
they advocate a policy in the different
states to suit the condition of popular
sentiment in that state. They advo-
vate and apply any issue locally to
get votes by which to ride into office.
Office is what they want and are will
ing to advocate any issue to attain the
end sought.
union, however, has not been suo
cessful to any considerable extent. The
two old parties are based upon funda
mental principles honestly set forth in
their platforms, and the better element
of each, though they may be in the
minority in a particular county or
state, think more of the principle in
volved than to enter into a collusion
with an aggregation of malcontents
whose only object is spoils of office at
the sacrifice i-f principle. We do not
pretend to say that there are no hon
est uien in the populist party, but we
do conteud, without fear of successful
contradiction, that the honest element
are misguided by their unscrupulous
leaders. "Unscrupulous' may seem
harsh term to use, but it seems to fit
the case, since we have no knowledge
oi any populist leader wno was ever
elected -to office who performed the
uties of that office consistent with
the theories advocated by his party.
Ana as a personal object lesson our
readers are requested to notice the
career of every populist who has held
office in this county. Ask yourselves
whether there is visible evidence of
honesty of purpose shown by any pop-
mist elected in this county, and to
prove the truthfulness of this assertion
examine into the matter personally,

Bla Course Outline.
The announcement from ex-President
Harrison that he positively is not
a candidate for president cannot fail
to relieve the minds of many other
aspirants and their friends. The fact
cannot be disputed that Mr. Harrison
was a formidable opponent to all pres
idential aspirants, and, indeed, it might
be said that bis chances for the nomi
nation were as favorable as those of
aay other candidate. The ex-president
has enjoyed both success and defeat,
and evidently realizes that he has had
about all the honor there is in the
presidency. However, if a few more
would withdraw from the race the
situation would become less complicated.
CHICKEN THIEVES.
LOOKING AFTER OUR INTERESTS.
Senator Mitchell has a petition pend
ing before the senate asking that a law
be passed securing to the manufactur
ers ot the Northwest the patronage of
the United States for all goods used by
the government in each and every de
partment of the Paciho coast. The pe
titioners call attention to the fact that
there are no goods used at any of the
Indian agencies or at any of the gov-
. ernment posts but which can be, as a
matter of fact, manufactured on the
Pacific coast, and purchased thereat
a lower figure than many of such sup
plies which are now being purchased

would greatly stimulate manufactur
ing in the Northwest and disburse
many thousands of dollars anuually
among the laboring classes on this
coast. It would no doubt be the means
of new Industries spring up in many
parts of Oregon and neighboriegstates.
And why not the West unite in sup
pott of such a measure with all the
strength and vigor of its people. Some
may imagine this a small matter, but
statistics show that hundreds of thous
ands of dollars worth of goods are con
sumed on this coast by the government
annually. It presents strictly a vase
of patronising home industry, the re
sult of which ought to be plain, even
to every sobool boy,
Bcaffoosk. Or.. Feb. 12. 1898
Editors Mist: ''Thieves entered the
chicken house of Charles Bchoeneman last
Sunday evening and stole ten of his best
chickens. Mr. Scliueueman tracked the
supposed robbers to a certain vicinity, and
then concluded to consult the nearest Jus
tice of the peace for advice. J ustice Holi
day was of the opinion that nothing could
oe aone nniess Mr. ecoaeneman would
swear nut a search warrant, which the com
plainant would not agree to do. Now, the
aaestion is, 'whose place is it to hunt down
lieves.' 8."
We are of the opinion that Justice Holi
day was right in his advice, and that it is
the duty of the inj'ired party to make sworn
complaint before a magistrate which will
be placed in the hands of a constable for
service, and without which the peace offi
cers have no jurisdiction in the premises.
The officers of the law are not authorized
to hunt down supposed criminals unless
clothed with a warrant properly issued by
a magistrate and sworn to by the injured
or some other in terested person.

of Nebraska, in response to the toast, "The
Impending Contest," said :
"If to love one's country with one's

on further aggressions and domination of
European powers in affairs of the Western
hemisphere, ia Jingoism, then, thank Qod,
I am a jingo. As soon as the resolution
pending in the senate, defining and reas
serting the Monroe doctrine, is passed, as
it will be by a decisive vote, there is no na
tion on all the earth that will for a single
moment seriously contemplate forcible op
position to the American policy. And
nothing in modern times has done so much
to guarantee the permanent peace of this
republic as the recent outbursts of loyalty
and patriotism from the people of all sec

party or sect, mum trie Brest American

Fim.Aim.PHU, Feb. 10. The Pross today
publishes an appeul to the American peo
pie, signed by President Hetancourt, of the
provisional government of Cuba, which
craves recognition tor the insurgents. The
appeal ryfi
"All we wish now Is to be looked upon
by the government of the United States as
men and soldiers battling for their birth
right. We do not wish to appear in the
eyes of the world as bandits."
After rehearsing in detail the history ot
the United States' struggle tor freedom,
the appeal continues:
'We ask the American people to grant
us, through their congress, those rights of
belligerency to which, according to the laws
ot war and of nations, we are entitled. Our
armies have marched whither they would
throughout the entire Island, and for weeks
have threatened the stronghold of Spam
power in C uba.

Spaiu's hirelings across the sea before we
arc even given the rights of men to fight

world to labor for it?

of
HiTAKA, Feb. 11. The greatest activity
was displayed in military circles today,
The festivities in honor of the arrival here
of General Weyler, thenew captain-general
who landed yesterday from the steamship
Alfonso XIII, are ended, and another chap
ter in the history of Cuba has been opened,
At the captain-general's headquarters the
reports which he sent for upon his arrival
telling of the number of men available for
active service, the number ot sick, the
quantity of ammunition and supplies in
possession of each column or detachment,
the state of country roads, railroads and
telegraph lines and probable location and
strength of the enemy, were being collected
and tabulated by a number of clerks. The
captain-general intends to have the whole
situation mapped out before any move
ments of importance are undertaken.
Orders were issued this morning from
headquarters to make a considerable in
crease of armored railroad cars for the use
troops. These cars have been of great as
sistance to the Spaniards ia protecting con
veyors of provisions passing through parts
of the country infested with insurgent
bands. Recently the armor plate baa been
increased in thickness.
The Insurgents are reported to have ap
peared in force In the vicinity of Guira
Meleana, which they attacked. Guira Mel
eana has frequently been of late the scene
of insurgent operations.

Many in this county will remember him
as a resident at Columbia City twenty years
ago. He was married in 1828 in Missouri
to Msrgaret, daughter of Thomas Crawford
McBride. Four sons were born to them
one the late Governor Woods, and J. C,
Woods the only surviving member of his
family. Though not favored with early
educational advantages, he wss a man of
rare personal ability; a man of advanced
thought on many of the current topics of
the times; he never felt that he was old
but would remark that he was just reaching
mature years; bad been a member of the
Christian church for seventy years. The
only physical frailty be mentioned was
failing eyesight, and remarked, with
s sails, that "before very long I shall not
need these dim eyes, but will see with im
mortal vision." He lived faithful to every
trust of husband, father, friend, his God
and country, and after 90 years of sunshine
and shadow, he has gone to the reward
which faithfulness brings. N. E. D,
