PATRONIZE HOME INDUSTRY.
OREGON OITY, FEB. 10, 1899.
Wb still have the Dingley bill and we
till have the mill operative who voted
for Bill MeKlnley so he could get high
er wages, but we don't hear of any of
them "seeing the raise."
Gen. John M. Palmer, who was the
gold democratic candidate for the presi
dency in 1896 to aid the republicans, is
about to be pensioned by a republican
congress for sei vices rendered.
"While our boys were fighting for hu
manity and liberty inOuba the ad minis
tration was feeding them on "embalmed
beef" and yet, Mark Hanna claimed to
have a corner on pros perity at one time 1
The steel wire trust has raised the
price of wire and nails $2 per ton. The
tin plate trust has rained the price 25
cents per 100-pound box. This is pros
perity for the trusts. Where do the
people get off at.
The state legislature proposes to re
duce pay. for professors of state univer
sity from $2500 to $180) a year. Cut off
one figure entirely and it would then
be all they are worth! Still the people
voted this way. Give us more ways to
spend the people's money. We like it.
Tub Oregonian is waging warfare
ajainst the good for-notliing grafting
state legislature, tearing, no doubt, that
things will get so rotten that it will en
danger the political rule of the state by
the republican party. Not that they
are too good, but so they can continue
the graft without so much publicity.
The National Tress Association will
come to Oregon some time in ,lune or
July. Clackamas comity as well as Or
egon Ci'y should fee to it that these
viHitors are allowed to see the wonder
ful resources of our city as well as coun
ty. This is a splendid opportunity for
the hoard of trade to do some good
work, i
Buyan and silver are as popular with
the democracy bb ever. Twenty-three
TJ. S. senators are in favor of Mr. Bryan
as lender of the Chicago platform, which
can also he said of 99 members of the
house. Only Iho goldbug members of
congress oppose the fighting of the 19C0
campaign on substantially the issues of
1890.
A patent medicine traveling man
called at the Courier-Herald oflice this
week and stated that business was gocd
and it was no trouble to sell goods, lie
eaid prosperity had returned and point
ed with pride to the large surplus in the
national treasury that which we are
paying interest on bonds to keep there.
So long as people buy patent medicine
and pay interest on bonds we must be
prosperous. Its about time for another
bond sale. The bankers have another
surplus on hand that the people must
pay interest on, one Wiy or another,
and we have had motlur "scrap" with
our recently acquired half-Chinese pop
ulation at Manilla for an excuse.
When in the eour.-enl human events,
other things, times and customs being
taken In consideration, it becomes the
duty of the people of this gre;it country
to elect the next president, let us unite
and elect a free man tothatollice. What
e menu by a Kims man is a fellow citi
zen who has no owner, no shyloclj who
lias paid off a mortgage and for the pay
ment has obtained absolute control over
the acts of the machine. We don't say
this in any disrespect to honest debtors,
but the man who would sell his man
hood for an otllce is not honest the
reader can imagine the rest as he
dreams of the advance agent of that
prosperity that never prospered and
never will under the gold standard.
TuuOi'egoniaii has again called out
its gold democratic contingent and is
anxious to have it organize the demo
cratic party in Oregon . There seems to
bo some temerity on the part of the
gentlemen named, however. They are
doubtless scanning their old democratic
text books to see if voting for a republi
can president with high tariff, trusts,
combines, purchased elections, imperal
ism and "embalmed beef are in strict
accord with the Jacksonian and Jeffer
tjonian faith. ' Joe Simon also had a
democratic contingent which did val
ient service in "organizing" the demo
cratic party in Oregon to the same end.
No, thank you, Mr. Scott ! regretablo as
it may bo that all the Intelligence of the
democratic party left it with the gold
contingent, yet at the proper time there
will probably be found someone in the
rank and file to call the "meetiu" to or-
about a cditfoA .:. -in
Oregonian, and never changed a word.
It's a settled fact, that he can't do bus
iness without our news. The Clacka
mas County Educational Association
elected an editor for the educational
column of the Enterprise, but the afore
said editor iurniBhes the proceedings of
the teachers' meetings to the rag, and
Fitch has to take the warmed-over bus
iness for his paper.
The Willamette Valley Chautauqua
Association have decided to let the pri
ces for the July assembly at Gladstone
park, remain the same as last year,
$1 AO for season ticket, and 25 cents for
daily admissions Sam Jones will be
the stellar platform magnet for the first
two days, and will draw immensely. It
cost $1 to bear Talmage in Portland a
few months ago, but anyone can hear
Rev. Sam Jones at Gladstone park next
July for a quarter. George L. Hutch
ins, who is to publish the big new
daily in Portland, thus editorially com
mented on Jones not not long ago in his
paper, the BloominsUn (111.) Eye:
Mr. Stewart strmes tne Keynote wnen
lie states that Jones was probably as an
attraction to draw a crowd. He hints
that a prize fight would do the same,
and casts his sword in the balance in
favor of the latter as for decency. The
world is running entirely too much to
DeWitt Talmages, tam Jones, divorce
courts, pugilistic talking matches and
the elevation of the stage by moral per
verts. There is only one thing that can
be said in favor of Jones he has eall
enongh to sink the whole Spanish navy
and never lose a lantern.' Sam Jones
mv have held revivals to attain a repu
tation and to secure filthy lucre with
which to build fine houses but the po
pie will come to hear him just the same.
They will come further than they would
to hear Utirist and when the opening
day of Chautauqua comes Gladstone
patk will be tilled with people frm ev
ery section of the state, to see and hear
Hev. Sam Jonps.
The regular session of the legislature
is drawing to a close, and but very few
meritorious - measures have become
laws. It seems ns though the members
of both houses were waiting, daily wait
ing for eomethiti" Is it gra'ts, or are
thev afraid of offending some member
by voting for the repeal of an appropri
ation? It is reported that a bill will be intro
duced to remove the capital from Sa
lem to Portland Why not remove the
capital to Oregon City. It has been
manv long year since Oregon City was
the capital of the territory. Only last
winter the skull of a possible defunct
lohbvist was found in an excavation by
the Bide of the old capitol building.
At last the Second Oregon Regiment
was given an opportunity to take part
in an engagement at Manila. They ac
quitted themselves very creditably, but
suffered no loss.

Some of the schoolteachers of Clacka
mas county should read the local news
papers. During the past week two or
three of them wrote the county super
intendent, asking when the quarterly
examination would be held. If these
teachers had been in the habit of read
ing a county newspaper they would
have Been 1 he notice of the time when
the quarterly examination la to be held.
Besides, if they are familiar with the
school laws, as they must be to be com
petent teachers, they would know that
the quarterly examination is held at
slated times every three months
Germany has evidently furnished

circumstances. She went to Los Ange

stateB that he is in destitute circum

much aid.
The bill that passed both houses of
the legislature this week creatina a sep
arate hoard of county commissioners
and leaving the county judge to a'tend
to probate business only, on the same
salary, is evidently a political j ib to cre
ate another othce. lhe taxpayers will I
have to foot the expense for an addi
tional county commissioner. This hi 1
has not yet been siyned by the gover
nor. The Golden Wedding edition of Vick's
Garden and Floral Guide is certainly an
artistic work, with its twenty-four p iges
lithographed in colors, and nearly one
hundred more pages filled with hand

graphed from flowers, fruits, vegetables
and homes While this Guide is really
too expensive to give away, they give it

Philip A. Marquam, a well known
resilient of Marqnam, and a native of
Clackamas county, was examined be
fore Cotinty Judge Ryan Wednesday af
ternoon, and was pronounced insane.
The unfortunate man was taken to the
insane asylum by Sheriff Cooke on the
same evening. Mr. Marquam made a
touching and eloquent plea for his lib
erty. Hetalkaiu a rational way, but
his writings are very erratic. It is be
lieved that a course of treatment will
completely cure his ailment.
The Oregon City Y. M. 0. A. bas
ket ball team still remains champions
of Oregon. On Tuesday night they de
feated the Salem tam by a score 18 to

for the home team, and Zauker for the
Salema. The Salem boys were treated
with the utmost consideration here.
The personell of the Salem team was
Rocky D. Hodgkin, Jerry P. King,
Charles Zaenher, vValter W. Bruce
and Harry V. Moore, captain. The Sa
lem boys, also met with a disastrous de
feat at Portland Wednesday night.
J. H. Ackerman, superintendent of
public instruction, has sent out circu
lars defining the qualifications of voters
at scho il elections an i meetings, and
providing for the establishment of poll
ing places at elections in districts hav
ing a population of more than 2,'0O. in
accordance with the recent ch nes
made in the school laws. Any male or
female, married or otherwise, o--er 21
years of age, can vote at a school elec
tion or meeting, who has resided in the
district 3') days preceding, and who has
property in the district of the value of
at least $U)i), as shown by the last pre
ceding county assessment, upon which
he or she is required to pay a tax. How
ever, in districts of leas than 1,000 in
habitants women who are widows and
male citizens over 21 years of age who
have children iu the district of school
age, and who possess the residence
qualifications can vote for the election
of directors and clerk. The new fea
tures in the school law makes the as
sessment of cay uses ami other chattels
just previous to school elections, either
by tli e assessor or sheriff, illegal.
