OREGON CITY COURIER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16 1903. Republican Officials Are Indicted. LABOR UNIONS ARE L1N1NQ UP AGAINST THE PRESIDENT. Quarrels Among Republican Factions Continue in Delaware. Washington, D. 0., Oct. 5, 1903. The grand jury of Washington con tinue lo tind indictments against W. Bcoit Towers, head of one of the city substations He in accused of taking a commission on type-writer books Bold by ft private company to the government. It is said that he received $50 , on every $200 paid for each of these, and that his fees amounted to $1800. He has been dieunneed by the postmaster general, and is row awaitinu trial. The Repub licans are afraid of the political effects of the pOHl office scandaU and tneir members in tiongress are now clamor ing for a congressional investigation of the entire department. They stat openly tlmt tl.eir purpose is to fore stall the Democrats and prevent their making a political issue out of theee evidences of Republican mal-ad-minis ration It is said that the Presi ' dent wishes to name the investing com. mitten', which he hopes will be author ized by Congress. The Republicans have adopted the same lactics with ref erence to the lnc'ian scandals, as a com mittee from both House and Senate will go to the Territory and make an official report of the state of affairs President Ri.osevell'8 stand on the question of Foreman Miller ol the gov ernment printing office and on the"open shop" in government employment, con tinues to receive the attention of poli ticians and labor men. In spite of the cautious and conservative statement of the exec utive council of the American Federation of Labor, there are indica tions that many lal'Or unions will join issue iih Mr. RooHvelt and will show their disapprobation at the polls. The f resident held a conference last Tues day with til's labor leaders and many subjects were dtscUBsed, On the Miller question, liowever, there seems to have been but slight discussion as the Presi dent simply infoimed the leaders of his decision. In the statement issued im mediately following the conir;.nce the President declaied that Miller should re main and that no discrimination should be made between union and non union labor in choosing employes of the government. He added that the law demanded this and that the fact of a man's being a member of a union could oo more be allowed to tell against him than the fact ttiat he was a Catholic or a Protestant, Jew or . Gentile, white or colored. The Executive Council of the Federation of Labor made no criticism of the President's statement, but the following day they issued an address to organized labor of the country in wnicn they Btated positively that the unions would contend for the principle oi union bops. The radical men in the American Fed eration. and they are numerous, bitter ly oppose the President's attitude and intend to bring up the question at the coming annual convention of the Feder ation in Boston, on November 8. They declare that if President Roosevelt is a true friend of labor and expects the la borers vote he must make ttie same dis crimination between union and non union labor as he daily makes between .Republicans and Democrats, lliey ar gue that the labor unions must defend their interests against a private em ployer. The labor unions throughout the country continue to pas? resolutions condemning the action of the adminis tration and they seem determined that the President's statement shall not end the controversy. Our government is about to establish trade roUtions with Abyssinia. Mr. Robert P. Kkiuner, our consul genera; at Marseilles, is now in Washington com pleting preparations for his coining visit to King Menelik, whom he will invite to the tit. Louis Exposition, at the same time urging him to make a commercial agreement with the United States. Mr. Skinner has seen the President and re ceived from him a message of the pro found consideration to the African mon arch. He will bo taken to the nearest port in an American war ship and will have an escort of United States marines on his long journey overland before reaching Menelik's capital. The press of Europe sees in this expedition an at tempt on our part to establish a footing in Africa, but Mr. Skinner has very peaceful and business like intentions. Over one-third of all the imports of Abyssinia are from this country audevery year we sellMenelik's people over $5,000, 000 worth of cotton goods' at the same time vra get from them ivory, hides, carpet wools and other raw materials. This expedition is ridiculed by some who snggest that instead of going to Af rica we should turn our attention to South America where the Germans are making rapid progress atiainat tiieir American and English competitors. His many friends in Washington and elsewhere deeply regret the death of Sir Michael Herbert, the British ambassa dor to the United States, lie died last Wednesday In Switzerland, where he had gout hoping to l e cured of tubercu losis, which was the cause of hia death. He km ambassador to this country only few months but was well known in Washington, where he formerly served as charge d'affairs and as secretary of the legation. His wife iian American and he had many personal friends in this country, among them President Roosevelt whom he had known for many years. He was very fond of telling how tho President taught him to piny base ball. His most important work here was the settling of the difficulties In volved in the attack of England and her allies on Venezuela, and the negotia tion of the treaty by which the present Alaskan Boundary Commission was crented. The foreign office iu London has not yet considered w ho is to suc ceed him. Presidt nt Roosevelt is much annoyed at the continued quarrels of the Repub licans in Delaware, After a conference with Senators Alee and Ball, the lead ers of the opposing factions, he made it plain that if they could not agree on questions concerning their state, he would have to take action which would be disagreeable to both of them. The present matter of dispute is the selec tion of a United States attorney to suc ceed William Michael Byrne. James Partlow is a hustler and "0 mistake. He is the busiest farmer of Mt. Pleasant. Four families live from our farm, "he said to a brother rancher last week, "three beside ourselves. It costs me $1500 year to run the farm. But it pays. Last month I turned off $4000 worth of stuff. Every month I do almost as well. There is a big profit in farming here for the land produces big and I can sell all I produce at good prices because I know what the mar ket wants."

Dr. Fowler's Extract of Wild Btrawberry. Whether a woman is tearful or cheerful depends not on what she has materially, dui what sue is physically. Many an in dulgent hus band is driven al most to de spair by the tearful out burst of a wife who has " evt-ry-ilhing she wants." He wants to know what's the matter. But the wife Can't tell. She only knows that she i9 ue- pressed and despondent. Such a condition is usually related to some form of womanly disease. REWARD RYXONVEH WHO CANNOT BE CURED.
