OREGON CITY COURIER OREGON CITY HERALD CONSOLIDATED. A. V.CHENEY. Publisher The democratic gains in the Eastern states for Congress are decidedly en couraging. We have two in Illinois, two in Kentucky, two in Maryland, two in Massachusetts, two in New Jersey, thirteen in New York, six in North Carolina, seven in Pennsylvania, four 4a Virginia, and one in West Virginia; total 41. ; Says the Lincoln, HI., Couritr: George L. Hutchin, editor of the Bloom ton Eye, has been called to the state of Oregon to awurae charge of a dema cratic newspaper at Portland, for which $200,000 has been raised. Mr. Hutchin it one of the brightest newspaper men in the state, and can issue an interest ing paper from a hardware store or blacksmith shop.' He is a 16 to 1 dem ocrat, and the politicians of the' Pacific coast will discover that he is among them before his chair is warmed. Lets reorganize all the reform forces into one grand party before the year 1899 closes. If all the different parties favoring the free and unlimited coinage of silver and direct legislation can be united into one party, it will sweep the country as clean as a new broom in 1900. On the other hand, if all these forces divide up and scatter out and action fight faction, it will mean a re publican walkover. Now is the time to commence the agitation. We shall be glad to hear from our readers, regardless of party, on the proposition. Ellens- burg Dawn . The democratic party is open to all who are willing to work for the princi ples of the Chicago platform in prefer ence to the policies of the republican party. A man does not have to believe in every one of those principles in order to enter the democratic ranks. If the democratic platform, as a whole, suits him better than the platform of any other political party does not close the Joor to any prodigals who have wan dered away temporarily, they will be welcomed home though no fatted culf will be killed in honor of their return . Oolfax Commoner. If a newspaper man knew how many 'knocks' he received behind his back he would adopt another calling," remarked a citizen the other day. The newspaper man who succeeds, expects to be ma ligned by every law-breaker, swindler and hypocrite, every carping critic and yery lover of notoriety who is ignored, and in fact by all persons who do not gree with him on all pubiic and private questions The newspaper man who eipects to go through life without being misrepresented and unjustly censured should make arrangements to die young. Ex. II ANNA, THE SELFISH. The low, mean trickery by which Mark llanna got Senator Sherman's eeat in the seat is well known but not until recently has Mr. Sherman spoken his mind on the subject. He said: "They really did not want me in the cabinet, but wanted my senatorial seat. It was -represented to me that they could not make up the cabinet without me, and that questions were coming long that I ought to have control of. I know that Hanna wanted the rest of my term, and as he had always been friendly to me I did not desire to seem disobliging. So I resigned my seat and went into the cabinet. It then began to be said that I was growing forgetful and senile, Hanna, whom I had obliged with my seat, was among the first to say that I had lost my mentality. It was not a very kind return for my vacating my seat for him. After I went into the cabinet I saw very little of the president in connection with the duties of my office. A man was brought in there from Canton who had run for of floe only once, I think, and had been defeated. He did not seem to have much to do in the state department, but every night he went to see the president and rehearsed what had been done there. I regarded him as my inferior and gave very little attention to him or what he waa doing until one day the president said to me : 'Mr. Sherman, what you have been saying, or are re ported to have said, Is embarrassing Judge Day I' I was very much sur prised, and answered: 'Mr. President, do you sppose that I would say any thing to injure the administration of which I am a member?' The president repeated nearly the same thing offen sively to me. I itot mad, and I cme away and wrote out my resignation per emptorily. I was always a supporter of Presidtmt MoKinliiy. You know that whatever he desired, to have governor president, anything I sustained. They Always called upon me, and I responded But I do not believe that my suggos' lions or wishes would now be considered by the administration. I eoiixented to tiive up my seat, as 1 did not want to appear exacting. Always with good nature I have sulwriboil to the pro gram. I think that I have been used for a purpose " Hooks, halls Hint dolls. Wo make ope.ritilty for the'holKl.iys at the l!;uket titore.

We wonder if those who read the ad vertisement of Carlton & Roaenkrans in that Canby Independent, notice what an absurd position they put themselves in. We will quote enough to show the ab surdity. ''Dear Sir: We take pleasure in quoting you, subject to change without notice, dry granulated China sugar put up in aacks, marked like the cut on this card at $5.45 per hundred lbs. Many merchants sell you this sugar for the America product, but if it is in a sack which bears the mark (P) refined, dry granulated surer, Hong Kong, extra dry.it is made bvMoDgolians who are filthy in ther habits." Now divest this of all explanatory and unnecessary clauses, and it reads this way, "We take pleasure in quot ing to you 'refined dry granulated eugnr' at 5.4o per hundred lbs., it is made by Mongolians who are filthy in their habits." ! If those who make the sugar are filthy the inference is that the sugar is filthy. If the sugar is I filthy why do they handle it and take pleasure in quoting it for sale? If they keep it and take pleasure in offering it to their customers is it reasonable to suppose that they themselves consider it filthy I It is probable that the Mongolians who work in the sugar-refineries are juBt as clean as thoee who act as cooks in some of the best private houses as well as in some respectabl.i publio eat ing houses in all the large places on the coast. It seems to a disinterested reader that they have stratne a little bit and brought forth "Implicity." December 6th. A Reader. Redland .
