OREGON OITY, DEC. 9, 1898.
The sound money treasurer's short
age in Linn county is $3,800.74. How
long will it take the people to learn that
an honest man is an honest man in pub
lic office, no matter what the color of
his hair, or the stripe of his politics. By
the way, isn't the whole defaulting
band of the State stove works composed
of gold -bug re publicans. -Salem Journal.
A newspaper whose columns overflow
with advertisements of business men
has more influence in attracting the at
tention to and building up a city or
. town than any other agency that could
be employed. People go where there
is an enterprising community. . No
power on earth is so strong to build up
a town as a newspaper well patronized,
and its power should be appreciated.
. Eveby man who. builds a house, or
plants an orchard, or invents a machine,
or discovers a law of nature, or does
anything which tends to promote human
comfort or happiness, is a public bene
factor; but any man who stands be
tween industry and natural elements, to
levy a tribute upon labor or to keep a
foot of land out of use, is a curse to the
country and a despoiler of his fellow
men. Volney,
Tna trial of voting machines at Roch
ester, N. Y., seems to have been a com
plete success. The great advantage of
the machine is that it automatically
keeps tally as the vote proceeds, and
when the polls are closed it is only a
matter of a few minutes before the re
suit can be announced. Reports of the
entire vote of all the districts of Roch
ester were turned in at police bead
quarters within thirty seven minutes
after the closing of the polls. ,
Kkv, Lyman Abbott, editor of the
Outlook, has this to say on direct legis
lation: "In my judgment the remedy
for the evils of democracy is more de
inocracy ; fresh appeal from the few to
the many from the managers to the
people. I believe in the referendum,
and, within limits, the initiative.be'
cause it is one form of this appeal from
the few to the many, from forces of ab
stract democracy to democracy that is
the rule of the people."
If politicians get in office and then
create offices and steal public money
enough to buy re-election, the people
are to blame. The plain voter will get
just as good government as he demands
and no better. It is getting to where
no politician or statesman will under
take to make a sure enough fight for the
plain people. They will twcome a can
didate to fool the people if corporations
or county rings will invite them or put
up the campaign funds to buy votes.
Tub Introduction of the English or
gray pheasant into Oregon will be at
tempted by a number of prominent
Portland sportsmen next spring. It is
proposed to import at least fifty pairs of
these birds, and as they are hardy and
prolific, that number, if they are proper
ly placed and protected for a few years,
should give the species a fair start. The
Willamette Valley should be a paradise
for them, as they prosper best where
the higher state of cultivation prevails,
and besides are said to be a benefit to
agriculture.
In Colorado there was no shrinking
the silver question, says the Denver
News. It was pushed to the trout by
the friends of the white metal and kept
there. The result is the state ticket
nominated by the Bilverites was elected
by twice the majority ever before given
to any set of candidates. The moral is
plain. Silver must be the great issue of
1900. Bryan muBt be nominated by a
rising vote. With bimetaHsm on the
Han carried by our patriot leader, silver
will as surely win as the battle of 1900
will be fought. Jacksonville Times.

are absolutely obeyed by his subjects,

THE GROWTH OF POPULISM.
The populist party has won few vic
tories at the polls. It has elected com
paratively few officers in ' the several
states of the union. But it has victories
more glorious and more far-reaching
than the triumph of political contests.
Silently it has planted the seeds of truth
in the hearts of men. Its teachings and
its doctrines have been scattered broad
cast and have found successful lodgment
in the minds of millions of honest intel
ligent voters, whence not all the ridicule
of wealth and the jeers of plutocracy
can eradicate. a .
Let us briefly review some of the great
truths of populism which have found
favor with the people.
Eight years ago the idea of postal
savings banks was one of the most hated
of populist vagaries. The idea was ridi
culed and derided with all the venom at
the command of old party politician!
when the populist party first advanced
it. To-day postal savings banks are ad
vocated by some of the ablest statesmen
of the old parties. Indeed the present
republican administration is said to fav
or these banks. Bo popular has the
idea become with the people that the
republicans or Washington placed a
plank m their , state platform favoring
postal savings banks.
The populist party first advanced the
theory of government ownership of tel
egraph and telephone lines. It was de
rided sb a visionary scheme of populism
To-day it is advocated by a large per
centage of the membership of the repub
lican party and is a tenet of democratic
doctrines. If submitted to a fair vote
of the people it would overwhelmingly
carry in the United States. -
Do you remember what a howl was
raised when the populist party first ad'
vocated the election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people?
The howl is now the other way. It i
now the man who opposes the idea that
is ridiculed to-day. Even the Portland
Oregonian, the most radical goldbug
organ in the country, advocates the
lection of senators by the people.
When the populist party demanded
that the. Nicaragua canal be built, own
ed and controlled by the government, a
million political hands went up in holy
horror at the idea. It was more patern
alism and was a most vicious and dan
gerouB suggestion. But time passed and
it is now the pride of the old parties
that they advocate the building, owner
ship and control of the Nicaragua canal
by the government . .'',
But if among the teachings of popu
usm mere was one idea tnat was more
distasteful and disgusting than another
that idea wai government ownership
and control of railroads. This was fanat
icism gone mad. It was the most vis
ionary of a collection of most nnaccount
able vagaries. The republican party
drew up its silken skirts and shrunk
with hysteric horror from its vile con
tamination. How is it to-day? A large
percentage of republican voters openly
declare their endorsement of the doc
trine. A still larger number would vote
for it, if they voted their honest con
victions. But a few days ago the dis
patches announced that General James
Longstreet, a republican and railroad
commissioner of the United States un
der President McKinley. had recom
mended to the government the building
of two transcontinental lines of railway.
These roads are to be owned and oper
ated by the government. Populism on
the subject pure and simple and that by
a republican of national reputation serv'
ing as an officer of a republican admin
istration,
These are a few of the triumphs of
populism and they are more worthy the
wreath of victory than all tbe victories
won in heated political campaigns. If
the populist party should die to-day, it
has sown the Beeds of truth in the minds
of men that will never die. People's
Advocate, Ohehalis, Wash.
costly honors:
He are some of the amounts which
Republican candidates for congress in
New York state swear that they spent in
their campaigns:
Underhill, of West Chester $6,810
Mewart, ot Amsterdam 6,971
Ketcbam, of Dover Plains 7,500
Littauor.of Gloversville 8,000
These figures of course do not Include
the sums spent in securing nominations
or rennminations.
In his two years a congressman draws
only $10,000 in salary.

only the rich can got Republican nom
nations for congress in this state? N
