For President,
ALTON B. PARKER.
lot Vice-President
HENRY G. DAVIS. ,
A WORD TO OREGON DEMOCRATS.
Under no ordinary circumstances
nan the electoral vote of Oregon be
thrown in favor of Alton B, Parker in
"the coming contest. ,Any claim that
Haoh a result is possHible, conld only
he looked upon as empty boasting ;but
it is posHblo to poll a vote for him that
will indicate that Domocatfl and
Mionghtful Republicans are unwilling
to trust the reins of government longer
In the hands of that incarnation of in
sincerity and sensationalism, known
as Theodore Roosevelt.
A candid survey of Roosovolt's ad
ministration will show many reasons
why he should not be "given another
term ; reasons, too, that are not sup
erficial, bat that go to the heart of
good government and free institutions.
First. He "played to the gal
leries" in obtaining a decision
against the Nortliorn Securities Com
pany Proof of this lies in the fact
that no proceedings whatever were
taken against other and more in
iquitous combinations, and in the
further fact that the Attorney-Gen-fjral
gave assurance that the adminis-
tration "did not intend to run
iniuck" in dealing with trusts. The
leoision was obtaned for partisan
inrposes only, and did not limit in
rhe loast, the illegal and nnjust com
binations of capital, nor add an iota
to the liborty or welfare of the people.
'Second. In accepting passes over
rhe railroads, for the greatost con
tinental tour evor made by a president
of the Unitod States, Roosovelt has
dpood himesolf undor obligations to
the management of those roads. Any
if our oitizena, Republicans as well
as Democrats, look askance at the
lolicy of county official riding on
lassos; thon what shall be said of a
president who aooopts such favors?
It lie intends to hold the railroads in
subjection to the fodoral laws ho
wronged the railroad corporations in
aooopting pnssos; if ho does not ex
poot to enforce the Interstate Com
uoroe Aot, and the Anti-Trust Laws,
then he Is wronging the people
Third. Ho has shown in important
panes, an utter indifforonco to the
wolfaro of ho people. While ho usod
his influence to Bocnro arbitration of
the ooal strike, ho has lookod with
apparent approval on the substitution
of military for civil authority in
Colorado. Ho lias soon men against
whom no criminal chargo lias boon
made, exiled from thoir homos under
tho dirootion of a paid attorney of
tho corporations, yot he is in such
four of "rnnuing amuok"that ho lifts
not a finger to prevent thoir over
throw of constitutional rights.
Fourth. Ho has dono all in his
power to detract from tho fame of
those who won the victories of Manila
;ind Santiago, because they do not
agree with him politically thus plao
ing partisanship above patriotism.
Fifth. He has dono nothing to
ward scouring peace among the na
Dions, but on the other hand, ho and
lis advocates have glorified war as
the only moans of extending our in
fluence and buttering our conditions.
' Sixth. He has yielded completely
to the domination of the politician.
The vigor he displayed in attacking
naoliino rule while he was Civil
Sorvloo Commissioner, has disap
peared since his entrance into the
Vhito House. Civil Service rules as
tow applied, are but a oloak slightly
nnna.linif flm rtliwnn font, nf fnvnrit:.
ism.
These are a few of the reasons why
loosevelt should not be ro-elocted.
fhe people of Oregon are not ignorant
of the facts; therefore, these are
ftrounda for believing that the vote
for Parker will be one of which the
friends of liborty and of good govern
mont may be proud. The Democrats
of Oregon may have no reasonable
hopo of carrying tue snuo; out, mere
is reasonable hoie, yes almost a cer
fcuintv of carrying the nation for
Democracy. Beside, we we engagoif
in a struggle for the existouoo of civil
and political liberty. It is the duty
of every Democrat to do all in his
power to aid in that straggle.
Rome enlarged her territories by
foreign conquest, Roosevelt advocates
foreign conquest. Rome forfeited
the good will of the mass of her
citzens by granting special privileges
to classes. Roosevelt "stands pat"
on the granting of special privileges.
Rome became a seathing mass of cor
poration by voting supplies to those
whom unjust laws had robbed.
Roosevelt grants supplies by his in
terpretation of the Pension Laws.
Rome lost her republican government
by permitting executive officers to
usurp legislative and judicial powers.
Roosevelt has usurped judicial power
in claiming to interpret the Ponsion
Law ; he lias usurped legislative power
in extending the scope of that law
so as to include a class of men to
whom no law of congress applies.
There is no need of becoming al
armed for the safety of government
on account of the blatant cry of the
anarchist; his position is well known,
and ; can easily be met. It is the
insidious growth of centralized power,
concealing its true features behind a
mask of pretended patriotism, that
will some day place a dictator in the
presidential chair. The form of free
govorrnment will long remain; but
the first step toward the annihilation
of the spirit of popular government,
has been taken. Other steps will fol
low. Julius , Caesar did not accept
the ' crown ; yet he was king in all
save the name.- Roosevelt has not
accepted the crown will not dare
not. But ho has opened the way for
another ' to do so. When in one per
son are combined the legislative,
executive and judicial powers, the
result is an absolute monarchy. He
who exercises absolute power
will not long refrain from
accepting the outward tokens of
royalty.
WRONG 00ES NOT UNPUNISHED.
(From Chicago Inter-Ocean.)
It's not an event, it's only a piece
of news," said Talleyrand, when he
was informed of the death of Na
poleon. Similarly the death of Paul
Kruger at this time is only a piooe of
news.
The grim old hero long ago finished
his battle with the, red-necks as he
has now finished it with death. The
little ropublic that his indomitable
spirit called into being has been ob
literated from the map. The million
aire mine-owning "helots" have been
freed at a tremendious cost in blood
and treasure from the yoke of the
hated Dutch oligarchy. They who
sorrowed so deeply over the wrongs of
the poor Kaffir under Dutoh rule have
boon rewarded for their weeping sym
pathy by permission to employ Chi
nese coolie labor in their mines on
terms that amount to definite slavery.
And now the foremost figure in
this comedy of 1 fraud and tragedy of
freodom has followed his great enemy,
Cecil Rhodes, into peace.
Few men have been more gereronsly
praised or more brutally abused than
thiB taciturn Calvinistic burgher, with
tho muscles of steel, the heart of oak,
tho courage of a lion and the faith of
a martyr, who threw down the gage
of battle to the mightiest empire the
sun ever shown upon.
The very koy to Krnger's unbending
oharactor was rovealed in that nies-
sago to tho .world in which he de
clared i'TIio republics are determined
that if they must bolong to England
a price will be paid that will stagger
humanity."
And ho kept his word. The price
did stagger humanity, and Great
Britain has not yet recovered the
military prestige that withered un
dor the fire of the Boer riflos. Her
army was suddenly strippod of its
trappings and exhibited to all her
enemies as a lath painted to look like
iron, while the war resulted in econo
mic and fiscal disturbances winch

ohievous Chamberlain propaganda is
port of the price that England is still
paying for tlio privilege of stifling the
republics. The bills are likely to keep
coining in for a generation, whilo the
hnportation of Chinese coolies into
South Africa promises to moke a new
raoe problem more potent for mischief
than any that has 'gone before.
The law of compensation is inex
orable, and had the broken old exile
fully appreciated all the evil, aotual
and potential,' that has oome to Great
Britain with that war of externiina.

THE GOVERNOR IS BUSY.
Is the Whole Thing for Once, As Private
Secretary is at the Coast.
Salem Journal.
Governor Chamberlain is engaged
for the present warm season acting the
part of governor in fact. He is per
forming all the numerous duties of
the chief executive of the state, from
receiving business and social callers
up to the, performance of important
runctions. In short his private seo
retary, W. N. Gatens, is at the coast,
and for once the govrenr is the whole
thing: He runs the errands, receiv e
the applications for appointments,
files them for official action and as
sures the urgent applicants that he
will do all in his power with His
Excellency to have the particular
favor granted. He no doubt some
times feels like saying what Presi
dent Lincoln did to an importunate
office-seeker: "I will do what I can
for you, but you know, I haven't very
much influence with this adminis
tration." But whatever he does the
caller goes away happy and contented
with having seen the wheels of state
go round.
Last Thursday, just for practice,
the governor appointed .James P,
Moffit special commissioner for the
Lewis and Clark fiiir, and hopes soon
to fill out a commission for some del
egate to an irrigation congress or in
torstate commercial convention. Tho
truth is Mr. Chamberlain is having
a hard time playing at governor dur
ing these dull dog days, but he pro-
poses to hold the job down, regardless
of the consequence.

There are three political divisions
of men those above? the law, the
lawmakers, and those under the law.
Those above the law are there because
' the creator is greater than the
created," and they make and oontrol
the output of the lawmakers. Those
under the law are there because they
haven't "pull" or money enough to
place them above it. To maintain
inviolate this "safe, sane and conser
vative" division'of men, the" majesty"
of the law is upheld by the "strong
arm' ' of the law, flanked with gat
ling guns, bayonets, revolvers and
night-sticks. And so, in an unob
strusive way, we go right on justify
ing the faith of those who believed
that this country was selected by
Providence for the express purpose
of manifesting "the destiny of man. "
