The re-election of Mayor Tom Jonson of Cleveland. Ohio, is a triumph of the people over Haiina monopoly. Many a Republican in the first Ore gou district this year will relieve his conscience by voting for Reams. Pennsylvania, staid old Pennsylvania, the home of William Penn, of meek and lowly origin, the birth -right of the Quakers, where the declaration of Independence was formed into words and where the glad tidings of human freedom rung out to all of the world on that happy day in July more than a hundred years ago : Pennsylvania has passed a law muz zling the presr. The intent of the bill is that a common every day country newspaper can't tell the truth about lying politician. He can't criticise the orthodoxy of the sermon preached on last Sunday by the pastor of his church. He can't tell the truth and "shame the devil" as is his wont. What fun would there be in "running a newspaper in Oregon if you could not roast a few one horse politicians once in a while especially if it so happened that these self same poli ticians were Republicans, blind to their country's good. The liberty of the press is the safe-guard of Ameri can institutions and he who soeks to muzzle it in any way is an enemy not only to his country but of the race. The post office investigations still continue and each day reveals some now and sufficient reason for making them. If Hormim is elected to Congress it means that Oregon will goV'Away back and set down." It will take toil years to get over the blow. A vote for Reams the Democratic candidate for Congress is a voie for clean methods, honest government and a return to democratic principals. The Republicans from the Presi dent down, have demonstrated that there can be no hope of tariff sevision as long as that party is in yower. Don't worry about the Democratic candidate for President, The woods are full of good material and the party will find the new Moses to lead them an'd the people out of the wilderness. Would Binger Hermann have been a candidate for Congress this year on the Republican ticket if he had not been 'kicked" out of the land office at Washington for good and sufficient reasons. The Northern Securities decision proves that the Attorney General has tho power to control new trusts and prevent others from being formed but Low about the old trusts, the Standard Oil Company and similar monopolies. rive Missouri packers have paid fines into the state treasury to the amount of 25,(H)0.00. Incider tally they have advanced the prioe of meat iu thoir bailiwick one cent a pound. It is a pretty hard job to trusts. get ahead of the Tho only trouble about "carrying I big stick," in the form of a navy is the tomntatiou to use it. It is tho man who carries a gun who is tempted to shoot, It is tho boy with a now jack knife who whittlosthe schoo furniture. Hermann, the Republican candidate for congress was turned out of office on account of old age and general in competency if not for something worse. Henry Meldrum lost his job because forsooth "He looked upon the wine when it was red in the cup." Bingor is to be vindicated by being sent back to congress to annoy Roose velt as a gad fly annoys an over worked steer. Meldrum should be vindicated also. Ho is the best of a bad lot. If he did try to form a wine trust, there is many another good fel low who has taken that same route to the sea. Wesuggest that when Herman is elected that Meldrum be appointed his private secretary. Would'nt they make a a lovely bunch perambulating up Pennsylvania avenue to the White House to ask the President to do some thing for the fish business in Oregon. The President would no doubt suggest that Oregon was tolerably woll sup plied with "suckors" and that he could do nothing for this great state until we unloaded a little ballast. trayed their country for thirty pieces of silver. It has taken more than three years to unwind the skein of that damnable conspiracy ; but at last the end is near and every man, big and little, who had to do with that mon strous crime is being brought to justice, and Taylor the Republican pretender 'who fled his state in the darkness of the night will in all human probability be brought back to his native state and be compelled to stand trial for the crime of mur der. It is a sad and unwanted spec tacle but in the punishment of the guilty all the world will applaud. During all of the past three years the tireless eyes of the prosecuting officers have tracked and dogged theBe crim inals and at last they have reached the point where the light is being turned on and all men can see just how black and damnable was the plot that blotted out a human life and left chaos and anarchy to reign in the Blue Grass Commonwealth. Be it said to the credit of the Democrats of Kentucky that long ago they relegated this entire matter to the courts of their state and in their verdict alone expect the maBjety of the law to triumph.

In breaking his word and going back on his promise to "Little Joe Simon" tho erstwhile Senator from the state of Oregon, does President Roosevelt realize that he has offended the most prominent Jew who has ever been in Amorican politics and that on that account he may lose the entire Jew ish vote of all the states in his race for reelection in the good year of our Lord 1904. Simon is the only Israel ite who has set in the United States Senate. The Jows are not a race of politicians. They prefer to trade and barter. To soil merchandise and build commercial institutions. The Jew has taken little interest in politics except to vote. Next year, however, many thousands of them will accept the opportunity to vindicate and justify one of their "tribe" who has boon vilified and abused by the powers that be. Roughly speaking thero are 800,000 Jews in the United States who are entitled to vote, most of them are Republicans in politics. If thoir vote is thrown against Roose velt it would in all human probability mean his undoing and dofoat. The Jews nre clannish, thoy believe in standing by their own people and tho insult to Simon may mean much whou the vote is counted next yoar The defunct Dalles Natioal Bank is ready to pay the remaining 5 per cent due depositors, and when that is done the bank will have paid every cent it owed depositors, together with in terest from May 7, 1897, the date the bank was cosed. It now appears that the bank was solvent at the time it was forced into suspension by an officious bank examiner and there was no need of closing up or starting a run on it. It is claimed that the bank examiner was in collusion with rivals of the bank and it was in the interest of such rivals that the bank was forced to the wall. The stock holders have suffered a loss of 50,000, the capital, besides the earnings for ten years , but the creditors lost noth ing. The bank examiner belongs to the same stripe of Washington em's saries as a fellow by the name of Greene, of the land office department, who came here some months ago and trumped up some fictitious charges against Hon. . Henry Meldum, sur veyor-general, by reason of which Gen. Meldrum was superseded in the office. The charges were never made public, and Meldrum's friends here do not believe there ever was any foundation for any charges. The chaps who hang around Washington for the purpose of getting a chance to tour the country and make an unenvia ble reputation for themselves by creating trouble ought to be snubbed when their presence in the community is made known.
