B. Moores, who now writes his name as Ex-Commissioner of the land offioe at Oregon City, has stepped down and out an joined the local lodge of "Has Beens. " This organiza tion of Republican exes has been growing very rapidly lately. OREGON CITY; MAY 1, 1603. A vote for Reams is a vote for honest government, clean men and decent politics. f Naval officers are now wrought ud ever the serious question, shall there be two bridges on flag ships? It will be notcied that Mr. Beavers with the Purdy clock manufactures disappeared at a most opportune moment. This is the time of year when one wishes that the scientific gentlemen who found the germ of laziness would liurry up and find the proper toxine, -, Every Democrat in Clackamas County owes it to himself, his party and his county to be out and vote for Reams at the election in June The recent slump in stock values brings with it the suggestion that re publican prosperity partakes more of the diameter of gambling house pros ferity than of the actual thing. If Mayor Tom Johnson, of Cleve land, O., can secure the guberrator U election in Ohio, there will be aw further doubt respecting the domo ratio candidate for the Presidency, The young men in Clackamas Connly owe it to themselves to vote for a young man for Congress when the opposition is an old brokon down politician without standing even in kig own party. The Morning Oregonian is rapidly armng the name of the "Old Maid vi tne racino uoast. it is a cronic Sicker. There is nothing that ploases tho Oregonian ; not even if it does the thing itself. ' The political situation in New; York requires the immediate attontion of the Prositlont. Unless ho managos to patch up a truce botween Piatt and Odoll the domccorats ' will have i walkover in the state. Having made one beautiful spec wculur stnko at the trusts tho At: vornoy Gunoral will, carefully refrain ' rom following up his advantage for snr it may injure the friends of the arty in Wall Streot. And now Mayor Johnson's state auditor threatens to assoss tho rail road proproty of Mr. Marcus Hanna til. Ohio on the same basis as privato property is assessed. Truly, tho way f the Bt'uator is hurd. There is a strong suspicion that tho T .1. rt . x o.,uw.v:cv umoral is socking to Jjrulong the postoftlco investigation to Jucli an extent that public interest will fail ami no particular attention Will be paid to the rosnlts.

The brilliant 'young Wttrnan can now lampoon the admin fbtrtaion and expose its wookuesscs without fear of loosing hor financial fid but there will bo increased de mand for her hand. It is admitted that the logical course for the Attorney General would be to follow up the Northern Securities de cision by prosecuting the similar com binations of which there is a consider able number. It is also admitted that tlie Attorney General does not dare to. There are many good Democrats who are putting in much time and worrying not a little about a candidate for President next year. Don't worry boys. There is sure to be a Moses to lead us out of the wilderness and he will be a Democrat clean and good enoughh for all of us to support Strong pressure is being brought to bare on the Secretary of the Navy to cause an investigation into the damage of the Maine, the explosion on the Iowa and several similar accidents, but it is doubtful if the administra tion can be prevailed upon to turn on the search light before the election. The, President o'f thef United States of .America will pass through Oregon Gittfon the afternoon of May 21st, en route to Portland. No effort as yet has been made to have the distin guished guest stop at Oregon City and make the good people of this town a speech of a few minutes. ' The people here would likel to see a real live president and as Oregon City is the second city in importance in Oregon we ought to be placed near the head of the class. Two thousand people would come to Oregon City to see the presi dent were it known in advance that he would stop here for half an hour and make us a five minute speech. - After days of travail and pain, after ten long years of waiting, A. S. Dresser becomes the Commissioner of the Land Office at Oregon City today. Not three times seven years has he served for his Rachel, but nevertheless he is right proud of his job and we congratulate mm upon his success. Tho Interstate Commerce Commis sion has been forced to investigate the allegations that thore exists an anthracite coal trust in New York which is doing bnisness contrary to law, but the slightest acquaintance with the commissions leaves little doubt as to the result of the investigation. There are still a few Democrats left who believe that a democratic tariff revision would mean the removal of the tariff in so far as was possible from goods produced in this country and its transfer to goods whieh are bound to be imported. In other words, a traiff designed to produce the neo cessary revenue with the minimum of protection. ' Lord Brownell has suddenly and unexpectedly dropped out of sight, rue urononiaii mas spiKea its Buns and called off its dogs of war. We cannot understand why it is that the Oregonian wants to waste so ' much largo shot on small game. The COUREiR does not bolieve in kicking a man when he is down ; so for the presont let Lord Brownell rest peace. There is one reason and a "mighty", good one why Hermann will not be elected to Congress in June. If Her mann is elected it stands to reason that he will be able to secure a re nomination with all of the party machinery behind him and that pos sibly he will be the representative from the first Oregon district for the next ten years. There is a fine bunch of young Republicans in the first Ore gon district who would like to got to Congress one of these days and who would not appreciate the nailing up of the Congressional corncrib for ten years to come by an "old duck" who has had his day in Court. .Gatch, Kelly, Vawter, Brownell et al, will be in the middle of the sea for a good long time to come if Binger succeeds in landing the plum on the first day of June. Therefore there is luke warmness in the Republican party and it is even whispered that Lord Brownell would not rent his garments or tear his hair if perchance Binger should get it in the neck when the time comes.

' JNS 1 Binger Herman with his timber land fraud flag flying at the mawt head of his ship of state will invado this end of tho Willamette valley the comintr week. The republicans down this way are as indinerent to Herman oleotion as men could well be and as cold as clams. They aro of the opinion that Herman should hoe his own row and .that row will prov to be a lougaud "stumpy" ouo. Thuro is good news from tho politi cal battle mt ho Southorn part of this Oregon district. It seems that E. Roams, the democratic can didato, will swoop that part of the district liko a prario fire and get a much larger vote than' was cast for Chamberlain last yoar and a very ecidedly larger majority than the governor recoivod. Courage and ittlo hustling boys and the victory is onrs. Binger Herman, the erstwhile Land Commissioner of tho Federal Govern ment, six times congressman from the first Oregon District, with his 7,000 majority behind him, is not yet out of the woods. Yet there are some cruel enough to intimate that Herman would prefer to do business in the woods. That ho did some conisder ablo business in tho woods while he was commissioner of tho Land office nt Washington. "In ways that are dark and tricks that aro vain" llormau is a l'ast Master. Some people in this end of the val '"y claim that they "saw a light" in ;He Heavens ono night last. week, 'kflro will be a big bunch of Re iblicans in "this neck of tho woods" ho will see a light Juno 1st., if M signs do not fail. WANNER SALVE Will this thing of fraud, duplicity and stealing among Republican offi cials in Oregon never come to an end? JNow it happens that Miss Mariah Ware, who was Commissioner of the Land Office nt Roseburg, has done just liko tho men have done, become crooked in otlieo and skipped out. How low the mighty have fallen in these latter days Tho only relief in sight is to elect Democratio' officials, from the President down, and "turn the rascals out" and let us begin at the beginning by elecing Reams. means publish your surprising results.
