The morning Republican organ
is growling because at the citizen's
meeting the other night the people
received the nauio of Harrison
coldly while they cheered to the
echo that of Cleveland. How does
it expect anyone to enthum over
Harrison? All that he has to com
mend him is his grandfather's hat
and that has been sent to the fac
tory for repairs. Portland Iit
patch. Capt. Geo. W. Beij, the author
and orator, passed south Saturday
morning, headed for the ICast to
take part in the campaign. The
captain was asked what he thought
of the Republican presidential tick
et He replied: "Oh it is resect
able, but very weak; especially so
is Reid. No man can be elected
on a national ticket nowadays w ho
is notoriously opposed to organ
ized labor." Medford Mail.
The OregonUtn, More the last
state election, said that the sheep
men ia Eastern Oregon would give
Mr. Slater a gentle reminder ot his
position on the wool question. Ho
they did. And we find that Ellin
lacks 2,401 votes to equal 8IaUr,
Democrat, and Luce, the People's
party candidate, which shows con
clusively that the "sheepmen"
voted. Mr. Ellis oilght to have
had at least 5,000 plurality to vin
dicate the McKinley bill.
When it comes to repartee, the
Hon. Jerry Simpson, of Kansas,
can a great deal more than hold his
own with any man in congress.
During the discussion on the mo
tion to expunge from the Jtecmd
iienry George's "1'rotcction or
Free Trade," Mr. Burrows, of
Michigan, said: "Mr. Speaker,
if the house shall determine that
this shall remain in the Record,
we have untold volumes that we
wish to insert in reply." Quick as
a flash Mr. Simpson arose and re
marked. "Mr. Speaker, it would
take 'untold volumes' to reply to
it"
"That blue vapor you saw on
the eastern horizon was the tail
end of the cloud arising from the
office of the New York Sun. Now
listen to Mr. Dana." Salem Statin-
man. Well, here is what Dana, of
the New York Bun, says: "Better
vote for liberty and white govern
ment of the Southern States, even
if the candidate was the devil
himself, rather than consent to the
election of respectable Benjamin
Harrison with a force bill in his
pocket." If the Sun would sup
port the devil himself in prefer
ence to Harrison with his force bill,
what must be its extreme pleasure
in supporting so ideal a candidate
as Grover Cleveland? ,

riiortxrtoy ok mm: trade
It has long been the custom of
members of congress to have priut
ed In the Ctmgrtiuitmal Ilewrd any
matter that suited their fancy, as a
part or all of their speeches on the
tloor. During the campaign of
1SS4, Mr. Brewer, of New Jersey,
priuted as his speech on the tariff
question, a chapter from Blaine's
"Twenty Years in Congress."
Time and agaiu members have done
likewise, and no objection was
ever made. No objection can 1
made, under the rules and usngt
of the house: and it is right that
the members make use of the V.Ve-
ord iu this way, as it saves time
and disseminates information. But
the objection of two or three Re
publicans, whoso party has from
time Immemorial done toe same
thing, to the printing in the AVwnl
of Henry George's able book,
"Protection or Free Trade?" by
several Democrats and Alliance
men as their speeches during the
recent tariff debate, comes with
poor grace. Their objections were
not sustained, however, were not
even brought to a vote, as it be
came painfully apparent to them
that if these extracts were stricken
from the l!mrd, a vast amount of
matter inserted by the Republicans
would also have to be stricken out.
And so the book was printed en
tire, and is now lieing sent broad
cast over the country. The edition
will reach at least 2,000,000 copies,
and every voter receiving it will
become an alwolute free trader.
We say this advisedly: every man,
no matter what his politics, who
will read "Protection or Free
Trade?" thoroughly, will become an
ardent advocate of trade absolutely
free. It is the only book that com
mences at the ls-glnnlng of the
subject, discusses both Hides of if,
and then carries the argument to
its logical and irresistible conclu
sion. The Wkht Sidk will bo
glad to mail a copy to any address
in the United States for a two-cent
stamp. Or, if you like, send di
rect to your congressman, regard
less of his politics, and ho will send
you a copy free. Henry Villard
(and who is better known in the
Pacific Northwest?) sends out 10,
000 oopies at his own expense, and
from all over the nation orders are
pouring in for from ilfty copies to
100,000 copies.
Thk judges of the Virginia court
of appeals are worthy of all the
praise ever bestowed on Marshall,
Mansfield, or Marcus Aureliiis.
They have decided that Bcttie
Lewis, the married daughter of
W. L. Thomas, deceased, a white
man who wits the common-law
husband of a colored woman, is his
legal heir. Thomas died intestate
three years ago, leaving a fortune
of $250,000. Cousins claim the
property as heirs-at-law, taking
the ground that Bettio Lewis was
illegitimate, though it was acknowl
edged that her mother was recog
nized us the wife of Thomas and
was called by his name. Here is
an act of justice to a person of
color in a Southern state. Cer
tainly the New South is advancing.
