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 .

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 "

Macksburg Items.
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."
