Oregon, M wvml-oliw ni w FRIDAY, JAN, 28, 18H A(rtitng u to ua diwro be intelligent voter la uot go ing to allow his party fealty to so obscure bis understanding that he is coiue to east his vote for a party that to him shows every evidence of caring for nothing else than his vote. By false promises, by false assertions he may be decieved once but certainly not twice. The re pnblicau party promised the peo ple the protection of American in dustrios and when in power it ful filled its promise. Uuder the rule of that party tho country prosper ed. For the past thirty years no nation in tho world has seen such a marvelous growth in national wealth as the United States. The party now in power is showing its incapacity to legislate or govern for the good of the whole country It is a question uow whether they will even be.nble.to carry out thtir pledges to give legislation that will benefit the dominant part of the party, the southern element. The people of these United Suites are seriously coroerned about the mat ter of legislation, as a good govern ment means much'to each Individ nal. There are nmnyiplaces in the world which have all the elements that exist in the United States make them prosperous, but lack a government for the people. The past year is a convincing evident of the bad efl'ecte of poor govern ment When the government uu der republican rule had an abuu dance of money, the people too were prosperous, but now thjt the self-support of the government is menaced poverty comes among the masses. If this is to continue it must be by the voting of the peo ple, for there is a remedy close at hand. MlaoelUiteom..-. .... . Total........... IKtl'BMHKH. Polio..., 76 00 Light. -..

Leeds of r a that paper wants the nomination for state printer from the republicans. We hope he will succeed, as it would insure the election or a dem ocrat to that office." We venture to suggest that our esteemed con temporary need borrow no trouble as to who will be thelnominee of the republican party for state printer, for, should the present incumbent conclude to permit the' use of his name before the next republican state convention, that will settle the matter. Salem titatemmn. The Stutemnan should know whether Frank Baker intends run ning for the oflice again. If he does, he will find many warm friends in Polk county, who recog nize his peculiar fitness for the po sition. Democrats show a decided love for the populist movemeut. Dem ocratic papers are devoting half there space to defending democra. cy and the other half to preaching populist doctorines. It is hard to tell whether it is a Dem-Pop or a Pop-Dem party. Anything to win the offices, however. The larger cities of Oregon are all adopting the referendum through citizens committees, which demand more economical adminis tration of municipal affairs. The spirit of reform will reach the smaller towns later. There is a war cloud forming in Europe and if it should become a reality it would be of great ad vantage to the United States. We could feed, clothe and arm the combatants, and if England were drawn in, the United States would get the carrying trade of the world. II.
