OCR versatile correspondent
"8. 8." says a strong word for E
rrasdeut Cleveland in this week's
i&ue, of the West Side. Editor
iallyweare not in the political
light but the columns of this paper
are open to any one who may whh
to say a word upon the politieal
issues of the hour. We trust that
both sides, in fact all sides, Repub
lican, Democrat, Farmers' Alli
ance, etc., will come to the front
and say a word for their respective
causa. It is now in order for some
one to give the "Plumed Knight"
a boom.
Among the many candidates
awoken of for congress on both the
Republican ami Democratic tickets,
the name of S. F. Floed, of Rose-
bunr. has not been mentioned. If
a man must know the science of
politics to serve his couutry well,
then Mr. Floed is the best qualified
man in our knowledge. The fact
is, a man in congress who is igno
rant of the history and needs of his
country, is of little account to his
constituency. The name we nave
mentioned would do honor to Ore-
eon, and if elected, would serve
3 '
the people well
Wheat is now pouring into tie
western railway center at a tremen
dons rate and carriers and receivers
are at their wits' ends to know what
to do with it Nearly one thousand
cars of wheat are reported in one
morning's statement of receipts at
Duluth,and the daily average is
stated at about 500 cars, or nearly
300,000 bushels, and the amount
would be greatly increased if the
railwavs could handle more. At
Kansas City a tremendous grain
blockade is reported, their cleva
tors being crowded and several
thousand cars standing on the track
unable to move on account of lack
of engines. Railway Aye.
Tilt! HUMBOLDT MEDAL.
There ison exhibition at Tiffany &
Co.'s Union Sqnare.the medal voted
by the Prussian parliament to Al.
exander von Humboldt in recogni
tion of his services in the cause of
Bcience. The medal bears on its
face the words, -"Alexander von
Humboldt." The face is in profile
and the date, MDCCCXLVII,
(1847.) On the reverse side are the
signs of the zodiac, surrounding a
wreath, within which is a group
with the word "Ko.moz" above their
heads. There were but two copies
of the medal struck, one copy being
in the private collection of the King
of Prussia, the other being present
ed to Humboldt.
THE TARIFF IN Wi.
There is no room for doubt in
the mind of any one capable of in.
tclligent and impartial observation
that the campaign of 1892 will be
foucht and decided on the insue of
low tariff taxation against the tax
ation of the McKiuley bill. This
was made inevitable when Western
Republicans joined the Democrats
in shelving the force bill. That
measure was presented by the plu
tocratic radicals of the northeast
for the purpose of superseding the
issue of tariff reform, and in their
action they were intelligent at least
to the extent of seeing that the tar
iff issue could be superseded in no
other way. In. shrinking at last
from the force bill issue, the lie
publican party took its stand on
the McKinley bill, and on that
bill it stands or falls. The appro
priation of a thousand million dol
lars in two years, .the extra v
agance in many directions, the use
of the people's money in paying
unearned ititereit to bondholder?,
are merely incidents of the
general policy so logically sum
marized in the McKinley bill.
The campaign of 1892 will be
the most decisive of many years.

TIIK NERD OF REFORM.
The Amcrioau people are a prac
tical, money-making, go ahead
class of people. Their practical
eouviet ions are deeply rooted in
the early tradition of their coun
try, and whether a man is Demo
cratic or Republican, he fluda in
tellectual assent or apology for his
opinions In the teachings of the
founders of the two great politieal
partlesof ihe country Jefferson J
mm iidumiou. mesa men were
potential in shaping thedestlulesof
this republic, and the hatred of the
partisan bigot cannot detract oue
jot or tittle from either their living
or posthumous fame. Hamilton
and Jefferson were statesmen and
patriots, and the marvel of their
extensive ability and politieal pre
science rest in' the foot that the
two political parties to which their
lofty genius gave rise is to day the
great political force of America.
Under the guidance of these an
tagonistic, but mutually patriotic
political principles, the American
people have become the mightiest
commonwealth of the world,
When we cousider that this coun
try extends over a vast territory,
that it population is largely het
erogeneous, and foreign immigra
tion is flooding to our shores more
rapidly than the diversified ele
ments can be healthfully asslml.
laUxl; -that corporated interests in
the hands of the wealthy is grad
ually encroaching upon tho rights
and privilege of the masses, that
the old time social equality is fast
going if uot gone, that the politi
cal machinery of the country has
necessarily become both compli
cated and complex, that money
largely controls our political elec
tions, and that fraud in high places
is defiant of outraged law and Jus
tice; when we cousider these facts
with others that readily occur, we
see tho need of the wisest states
manship, and the influence in polit
ical affair of the best social ele
ments. It is a notorious fact that
tho educated and moral classes are
somewhat indifferent to the trend
of political affairs, and the manlp
ulatiou of the politics of the coun
try, especially local polities, is left
in the bauds of the unscrupulous
stool-pigeon politician, the ballot
box Bluffer and small fry vote pur
chaser. What wo need to day is
the infusion of a lofty spirit of pa
triotism in political affair. Every
voter sould be educated to feel that
the interests of bis couutry is supe
rior to the interest of hi party.
and that to be a patriot is greater
honor than to sit in congress the
acknowledged leader of a political
faction. The educated aud moral
ciussea suoum not only exercise
their political franchises, but make
their influence powerfully felt In
local as well as state aud national
politics. The merchant and the
banker, the school teacher and the
man of literary habits, tho skilled
artisan and the hnuest tiller of the
soil should step to the front and
take hold of tho political reins,
The professional politician should
go, for he is at the best an unsavory
bird whose gaudy plumage is badly
multched. JTo party is above couu
try, and theouly object an honest
man can have in adhering to party
w ior lire purpose oi euecuug cer
tain beneficent political ends which
could uot otherwise be brought
about It was Harriet Murtineau,
we believe, who said that the "foun
ders of the American republic laid
down a political programmo too
lofty for their descendant to per
petuate." Whether these words
were the utterance of a seeress or
cynic lies with those descendants to
decide.
A COMMUNICATION.
Eoitob Wkkt Side: While the
Weht Side is not a truly political
paper, and while its publishers
may have their own political views,
wc are pleased to note,.that its col
uiuiis ate freely open to whoever
may wish to express their views to
its rrudera. A hotly contested
presidential election is approach
ing, aud in 18!)2 the two great po
litical parties will be arrayed in a
mighty conflict for supremacy in
our national councils, and it be
hooves all voters to inform them
selves npon the principles and
policies of parties, tor that coining
contest. Pyrotechnics will not
win in the coining fight, but the
plain business man, tho man who
dare express his political opinions
regardless of consequ' ncos, the man
of trne political honesty, will come
to the front, and receive the ap
probation of the people. The
press, tho newspapers of the day,
are the great educators. The ros
trum has succumbed to the press,
the world's grentf enlightener, and
it now moulds and fashions public
opinion to an extent it has never
before attained.
We expect from time to time to
present some political views in the
columns of the West Side, and
will cheerfully accoid to all parties
the right to a full and impartial
criticism of the same. We now
say that Orover Cleveland is our
first choice for the presidency, for
the reason that we believe him hon
est, that his political principles
harmonize with the best interests
of the country, and that under his i
administration the country would
again be brought under true con
st 1 tut loual rules, the rule giving
equal and exact justice to all men.
Orover Cleveland is the man for
the times. Ills popularity in the
West among Democrat whose
view on the ooiuuge were autugo
ulied by his silver tetter Is only to
be accounted for by the strength of
the tariff issue a he forced It and
by hi patriotic record as president
jn MOnittlky0tt aml (H,tUno(
Cleveland everybody would know
what kind of a president he would
make. The Democrats would not
have to defend a single act of their
candidate. The people know that
he is honest and that he was de
feated in 1888 through tho united
efforts of the monopolists. Among
Western Democrats, Cleveland is
the only candidate they have in
view, aud though they quietly dis
cus other possibilities they do not
cousider the nomination of any
other Eastern Democrat as .among
the possibilities. Qu the oue point
of free coinage some Western Deni
ocrntadojiot entirely agree 'with
him, but their confidence in the lu
tcgrity of hi purpose has not liecu
lessened, and it is certain that
there is in public Ufa no other man
for whom they have the same
warm feeling that they do for Oro
ver Clovelund. "Andrew Jackson
was not an educator," but he broke
the power of the plutocracy In his
day simply by standing squarely
up and letting the people see that
they had a man to rally to. What
tho Democrats want to day is
mau, aud Orover Cleveland is the
man to bring order out of chaos.

THE "TWO-DOlLAir ew.
I want. to say this out of my own
experience. I have oftcu'fed a dol
lar's worth of feed into one cow
and got a dollar's: worth of butter
out of her. I have fed the same
amount of feed .into another cow
aud got two dollars' worth out of
her, and I am going to stand by
the two dollar cow. H. C, 'Adams.
The above appeared a few
months ago in tho Btrmm JiYruw,
being quoted from a speech of H
u Aaarus ai a Wisconsin conven
tion. Ex-Oovernor W. D. Hoard
comments ou it as follows:
Tho above statement of Mr. Ad
ains contain a principle which,
had the farmers of Ibis country un
derstood it, would have saved
them millions of wasted dollars.
The difference in those two cows
was very largely oae of heredity.
The two-dollar cow was born right
born for a butter cow. Her inter,
nul construction was so perfect for
tho work of butter production that
she used up her whole fuel for that
purpose and with tho most thor
ough economy. The ''onu lollui'"
cow was very likely bora and bred
without auy detiuito pupose, bred
for anything that might happen
along, a "general purpose" cow, so
to speak. Farmers are supposed
to be shrewd, hard headed men.
They are opposed to waste and
foolish expenditure of time, labor,
or money. Yet thousands of them
are to day pouring costly feed into
"one dollar cows," in tho hope
that they will get two-dollar re
sults. Here is a clear parallel
which will illustrate what we mean :
There arc three general kinds of
horses, the draft horse, the general
purposo horse, and the nice horse,
either trotting or running. Sup
pose a farmer or any other man is
going into the trotting business;
and suppose he buys two horses, a
general purpose horse and a horse
that was bred and born for the
race truck, ike Juy-I See, for in-
stance. He feeds each horse 12
quarts of oats a day. From the
general purpose horse he gets as a
result the speed W a mile in four
minutes. From the trotting bred
horse he gets the speed of a mile in
2:10. There is only 12 quarts of
oats invested in either horse.
What makes the differencef Simply,
that one horse is so born und bred,
so fashioned internally and exter
nally, that his food gives the high
est possible product in speed. The
other horse is not constructed for
speed and the man that would feed
turn for tnat product would wiiste
his food. There is not a farmer in
the lund that would wasto food in
feeding a general purposo horse for
the race track, but thousands of
them will commit that kind of folly
in feeding a general purpose cow
or specific butter production
