The three conventions dioocrs.tic,
pulls t, and fro llvr republican aaeet in
this city on the 23rd but. Thry sr loo
thoroughly eoiuffiltted to fntion not lo carry
out that object. We hare opposed the
method by which that fusion U to be
brought About, betievinf it Impracticable
under three beadn. Thohectof three dis
tinct perties twine assembled in Mid to be
lor the parpee of sni ting upon eomraon
phufurm. the main festurs of which U to be
toe diver plank o( tbe but democratic na
tional eon ventioa, bat each party ia to ma: n-
taia it own organization and adopt in addi
tion eoHt code of principle at they may
deem proper. Under each a condition, tbe
democrat who vote for the popalitt mast
necessarily (ire hi endorsement to that
platform, and tbe populist who cast hi
vote for a democrat u in a like condition.
Trader auca circamUace no union can be
funned tbat can rommand tbe entire vote
of either party. There i only way tbat a
practical onion can be made and tbat t on
on platform. The ien. ao far aa national
questions, mnat be confined to inch nistttr.
aa exist no difference of opinion. Should
tbe populist adopt a plank ia their plat
form deeiarilng their allegiance to the
Omaha platform, not one-half the demo
crats ia the slate will vote for a nominee of
that party. Democrats may be zeaknu in
the can of silver, but they are not pre
pared to accept tbe dogma of populism
even at tit risk of the defeat ot Ibis object.
It Is possible that a anion of force may be
brought about which can secure the entire
strength of the friends of free silver. It is
to be boped that there may be. Tbe mem
ber of tbe convention will have to bear in
mind that the fosion, though made in the
nam of tbe party, can bare no binding
Obligation on the individual members, and
they will exercia their sovereign right to
approve or condemn the action of those
who aasoru to act for tbe party at the polls
to Jane. The convention propose going
oataide of party lines, and if that can be
done each indiridaai can exercise the same
privilege, and tbey will not hesitate to do
so. Tbe Intelliirem voter is not going to be
bartered way in tbe interest of tbe ofBce
seekiof politician, and it is tbe latter that
are ready to form any kind of union that
will land them into an office, be tbat union
ever so humiliating to the manes. We
hop that a proper onion may be contam
inated. Tbat is to desire of those who are
honestly opposed to tbe single goTd stand
ard, and a ticket Dominated that will not
be each a to cause a democrat to be
ashamed when he goes to the pulls to vote
it It is an easy matter to talk fusion, bat
it is quite another thing to put a triangular
combination on a single rail track and keep
It from flying off. Tbe delegate to tbe
tat democratic convention will b selected
mainly by those who favor fusion on any
term. 8om on honest motives, bat a
majority of them for selfish motives, and
tbe offices being tbat incentive. The action
of these delegate will have to be sacb a to
meet tbe approval of those who do not look
with favor on this fusion business, or it will
ignominiously fail in the purposes for which
it ha been inangurated. Tbe work of union
ia aot ended at the convention. It will have
to be ratified bv the people. Portland Dis

OeoairiztTioe la necessary to political
success In every campaign, and the major
ities which the republican ticket has re
ceived la former year should not indue
lethargy during this canvass. As a national
reault of lb election, two congressmen will

a United Bute senator mut be ehoasa by
the member of th legUlsUtr tent

very republican to aa effwt. and w are
sati.oed it will be mads. Club should be
organized in every precinct, and republican
literature should be in the band of every

earnest, and th sooner this is dons to
better.
HUH UP STUMP.
What ha become of th legislative ex
posure that was about to bring Seaator
Banna, of Ohio, to an open shame T Three
or four weeks ago no typ was black enough
to giv the democratic doom sealer
chance to picture the utter gloom of his oat
look. Yet Senator Hanaa appears to be
taking life comfortably at Washington, with
more than six years of office In prospect.
Where is Mayor HcKtssonT Wber is
Johnny McLean T Wber was Moses when
tbe light ei,t outf
There ia no mora large type seed lo the
Hsnna headlines now, at least none tbat
refer to the process of hi election to tbe
senate, bat instead f tbat are some modest
little caption tucked away in odd cornsrs
over news that th whole inquiry has brok
en down. "Banna Investigator threshing
old straw Nothing of real importance dis
covered as to the Ohio senatorial bribery
charge," i all we read in the very news
papers tbat ao lately bourgeoned and black
ned with th story of bis coming downfall.
It ia a stock story, bat it fits. There was
a great military highway begun in the early
days to connect the city of Washington with
th Indian frontier. As John Randolph
described it afterward, the road began as a
boulevard, soon became a turnpike, then a
lane, then a cow path, tbea a rabbit coarse,
and finally it turned into a squirrel track
and run up a stump. Tbat is th way with
the Hanna investigation. San Francisco
Chronicle.
It is a matter now of only a couple of
seek until the annual election for city
officer for fct. Helen take place. As yet
we have heard of no aspirant for the offices
to be filled, and the only desire of Tat Hut
to see men elected who will continue to
administer the city' affairs in the aa
practical and economical manner a those
who are now in charge. All hav been
faithful servanta and deserve to be re
elected. We do not know whether the
cooncilmen who are soon to retire would
accept a re election or not. However, our
desir is to see tbe best men the town af
ford chosen to tlieae position.
Thc republican party of today ia s party
contending for sound money and a sound
government. Tbe wording of tbe St. Louis
platform is not ambiguous; cannot be mis
taken. Those who accept it a their politi
cal faitb are republican. Tbe wisdom of
that platform has been and is being demon
strated by inch a general revival and era of
prosperity the country baa seldom seen be
fore. The national battle was fought and
won In 1806. The battle i to be fought in
this state again in June. There is but one
banner under which the republican boat
1 can march. Tbat banner takes fta inscrip
tion from th national platform. No man
is greater tban hi party, and if we will take
principle for our leader, success sill be
achieved. Let republican join hands and
march on to victory.
M SPLEHDIO OUTLOOK.
Whether there be war or whether there
be no war; whether tbe thousands journey
ing Into Alaska shall dig millions of gold
from th frozen earth or (halt return a dis
appointed and impoverished crowd, Oregon
will this year travel tbe highway of pros
perity. 8b will fly with ber own wings.
From th soil turned np with the plow
from the rock pried out wltb tbe miner's
pick, from the water swept by the fisher
man' net, from the forest felled by the
woodman's ax, will roll a stream of wealth
for her people.
Agricultural condition are tbe most
promising in years. Last fall a largely in
creased area of land was put in wheat, and
th winter ha been extremely favorable
far Its growth. Everywhere the fields are
green with a strong stand of wheat, and tbe
farmer are preparing lo put in spring grain
every acre tbat can be plowed. The fine
weather of th past few week give prom
Is of an early condition of the ground suit
able for plowing and seeding. Tbe outlook
Is for a still larger crop of wheat than tbat
of last year, while the expectation of alarge
price for It seems more than reasonable.
War would raise tbe price of breadstuff-,
but It hi not believed that war is necessary
to sustain the wheat market for another
year,
As for fruit, nothing has yet occurred to
cause any fear of Injury to the crop. The
winter has been mild, and tbe openingdnys
of spring are at band, yet weather condi
tions have not been such as to stimulate I
premature budding, and there need now be
little fear of Injury to fruit from frost. The
lumber trad 1 Improving, and there are
better conditions in th salmon market, I
The democrata who are clamoring for
any combination that will beat the republi
cans, may find in the end that there are
greater political calamities tban even re
publican success. The democratic voters
of Oregoa were ordered to abandon their
organization and vote for the pop candidate
in order to take the electoral vote from
Harrison. Not one democrat in a thousand
doe not now see but what it would have
been a party blessing bad Cleveland been
defeated. Temporary defeat is less injur
ious to a party tban questionable alliances
for success. Portland Dispatch (dem.)
Will Mr. Bryan's next visit be to China,
in bis endeavor to atndy the financial sr
terns of other countries? He baa brought
back such glowing account of Mexico's
prosperity, which country does business on
a silver monometallic basis, tbat it ia to be
presumed he will had great opportunities
for thought in th financial operations of
the Flowery Kingdom, and method which
could be copied to great advantage in this
country.
UNJUST cmus.
A great many people are victims of the
habitof unfavorably criticising snewspsper
whenever something finds its way into print
tbat doe not happen to coincide with their
opinion or belief. Such action is always
unreasonable and nnjust. The primary
function of a newspaper is, of course, to fur
nish news; and legitimate news consists in
setting forth, in a plain, unprejudiced way.
tbe known facta and the reasonable sur
mise, when unharmful. or any matter
likely to interest the public.
There I another function of th news
paper, however, perhaps not to elementary.
but certainly of greater importance, and
that ia to take and maintain a stand en the
side of justice, decency, and righteousness.
No consideration of person or things should'
interfere with strict adherence to these high
principle.
The editorial rooms of almost every
newspaper ar marie a daily stamping
ground for people with "kicks." Bushing
in with protests because their penonal no
tices hav been transgressed tbey cannot
conceive the right of the paper or of any
one to entertain dissimilar opinion. In
the social seal tbe kicker range all the
way from tbe man who ha just paid a
police court fine to "one of our most prom
inent citizens," and the degree of stubborn
intolerance for idea at variance with their
own usually takes a relative upward range,
Against their fixed determination no pro
test or argument avail. A bsolute recanta
tion or suspension of publication 1 the
common substance of tbe demand.
There is no place on earth where a wrote,
always unintentionally committed, will be
so promptly righted as in the office of a re
spectable American newspaper. But there
is no plac on earth where It i to useless to
attempt, by any method, to teenre retrac
tion of f obllihed fact or tb suppression
of known truth.
lo emphaaite this condition by visit
to lbs cUum manufacturing Indus
trie of that section. It at not ksrned,
however, thai Mr. Bryan has any
peel! ion of visiting the cotton mill
of the south, which ar being ran over
time and sr derlarinj large djvMend
with greet regularity, and which oper
ate under tb same tariff and currency
laws aa I ho which the olaniiiyites
worn to hav failed in relation to
New England mills Nor it learned
that be has any intention of stopping
en routs at the iron and stnel.tin plat.
or woolen factories, or the great not'
terie of Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New
Jersey, which arc all running over
time, b-tw vtlenea or short hours
were the rule under the operation of
the tariff law which Mr. Biyan helped
to place on the statate books.
What we should all help to en cour
se 1 harmony among ourowa people
-tbe kind of harmony that prompts
men to join bands aod heartily unite
in tbe promotion of all local enter
prise that commend themselves a
being worthy of iiipport. Wbeu tbe
foremost men of tbe coanty, those who
have tbe largest interest, sland to
gether arm in arm in such matters,
ana snow to tnoee of smaller mean
that they are actuated by honest de-
sir to advance the general interest
of lb community, they will find that
the (pint of progress dwell not alone
in the home of tbe rich, but in the
bum blest cottage a well.
