lT"The war to build up Oregon
filjr is to fire Oregoa City people jottr
patronage.
Must It BeHarrlsonr
The announcement of Mr. Blaine that
he will not be a candidate for the presiden.
tial nomination seems to have been taken ! u,Bm' t-'rmmms oecause certain wad un
bv most of the political observers as leaving ! .nild InMietil Oswego are
the held Wear for Harrison. But is l'resi-! "ot nmde l,' cou,!,-v ool,r(- ' "O"
lent Harrison the strongest man to succeed
' himseir?
Admitting that Harrison's administration
has been clean and able, that he has disap
pointed his enemies and surprised many ef
his friends by the stable policy pursued
since his inauguration, that justice and
custom demand that he w ho has given so
satisfactory a government be retained in
tlie public service, still the political situa
tion is such that the success of the party
might be jeoparded by an attempt to re
flect Harrison.
The labor vote will be an important ele
ment in the next presidential election. The
bulk of that vote is ineradicably opposed to
any policy of government that has ever been
practiced. It would oppose Harrison sim
ply because he has been identitied with
measures that are possible and practicable.
Indge Walter Q. Gresham probably occu
pies a wanner place in the hearts of the peo
ple tlian any other man in prominent pub
lic life lo-lay. His record is such that the
ivprking people have confidence in him and
ji is also a safe man to put in a position of
trust. Would it not be better politics, in
e of the temper of the people, to nomi
nate Gresham than to crowd Harrison for
the place that many think justly due nim?
Presidential Possibilities.
The Pendleton East Oregonian is discuss
ing presidential possibilities and its first pa
r is devoted to the consideration of Grover
Cleveland, whom it considers at the head of
the list. Why anybody should deem the
fat ex-president at the head of the list of
possibilities for the next presidential terra is
not quite clear. It is more likely from force
of habit than from force of reasoning.
Grover Cleveland, as a presidential possi
bility, has leen practically oat of consider
ation since last fall's election. That elec
tion made Tammany the dominant influ
ence in the democratic party, and as Cleve
land attained success in lv4 at the expense
of Tammany that malignant organization
will see to it that he gets no further favors.
Tammany is perfectly unscrupulous and
thoroughly disreputable at all times and un
der all circumstances. It is worse than
Cleveland.
It is true, as the East Oregonian says, that
Cleveland gave the democratic party an is
sue when it was sadly in need of one. But
it is also true that he lost on his own issue.
The democratic party can't stand an issue
that involves a principle. It lives in tradi
tions merely, not in principles. And while
it Is true that Grover Cleveland is a man j
the democracy need not be ashamed of it is i
also true that there is no man, however low
and crafty and steeped in sculldugger.v, that
the democracy need or should be ashamed
of. It is truly happy only when led by un
principled schemers; vide Dave Hill.
Hill has Tammany and New York under
his thumb. Cleveland not only lacks that
support but he is at vanai ce with a major
ity of his party on the silverquestion. More
over Cleveland is inclined to have princi
ples, and that is the one thing above all
others that the democracy cannot and will
not tolerate.
The Louisiana Lottery Swindle.
The sanctimonious righteousness of Presi
dent Morris of the Louisiana lottery is quite
refreshing at this stage of the desperate
gaVne he has been playing. He has been
engaged in his nefarious swindling business
all these years because he thought the liber
ties of the dear )eople demanded such a no
ble exponent of unshackled freedom. Now
that the supreme court of the United States
declares constitutional the law of congress
denying the use of the mails to the lottery
company, thereby somewhat clouding the
high moral nurposes of the concern, Presi
dent Morris declares that he couldn't for a
moment think of accepting a re-charter.
He is shocked beyond measure that his
highly beneficent business should be placed
under the ban of the law. Of course he
could not be induced to engage in any ques
tionable occupation. So the good people of
Loueiana will please not worry any more
aliouttherecha.'tering of the great gambling
shop. President John A. Morris is going
home to New York to try to eke out an ex-
Utetic with Iht twenty million contributed
by the ople who are so oppressed by the
money power and the government II t

tfarvl and Jubal Early will Jo with tlioir it

tery has been permit tint to conduct tt
swindling business under sanction of state
law. For each monthly drvit it sells

I scorn for anything less than the most puiic
I tillous honesty.
Oswkuo is a live and energetic town and
it is enjoying a good growth. It has recently
become extra ambitious bv reason of the
booming oerationsof a Portland real estate
firm. There is no fault ! be found with
this and it is hoped that the iron city will
experience all the prospority its boomers
have in prospect for it ; but it should re
member that it is not all of Clackamas coun
ty, and that it cannot best judge of the ex
penditures proper for Uie county to make to
encourage its growth. The Ironworker pet-
given mat tne county lias not funds
enough to justify making those ex eiisive
improvements the Ironworker professes
not to believe for it says the county court
has funds enough to apply to the new Mo
lalla road. In the first place this is not
true. No new road to Molalla has yet been
oeiermineii uoii inougir the survey is in
progress and it is hod a new road will lie
built. In the second place if the new road
shall be built the county can stand only a
art of the ennse the interested prorty
owners must pay the remainder. It was
excted that just such criticism as the
Ironworker makes would be passed upon the
court if the Molalla road or any other should
be built, but it was scarcely expected that
people of intelligence and liberal spirit
would be among the carping fault finders.
To find fault is no evidence of merit.
About a year ago when Idaho was in its
first legislative paroxysm of statehood it
elected three United States senators, Hhoup,
McConnetl and Dubois. When it devel
oped that McConnell drew the short term,
anlitling him to serve but one session, north
ern Idaho was not pleased for that left both
senators, after McConnell's term of office ex
pired, from the southern part of the state.
Then the legislature chose Claggett, a north
ern Idaho man, to be senator, notwithstand
ing that it already had namedDnhois to be the
successor of whomsoever should draw the
short terra. This remarkable action precip
itated a contest in the senate which has
concluded that Dubois is all right. The
Idaho panhandle is a very greedy piece of
territory. It already bail the congressman
Sweet, but still made a bitter fight and one
of questionable honor, too. for a senator.
But the politics of that commonwealth have
always been of the rip-roaring, lurid kind,
and they will probably continue so for some
time to come. The contest which Dubois
and his friends made against the confirma
tion of Judge Beattie has been decided in
favor of the latter. Judge Beattie's ap
pointment has been susiended in the air
more than a year and the probabilities are
that the experience has been profitable to
justice if not to himself. Idaho is rather a
tittering young thing, politically speaking.
The project of organizing a county fair
which the board of trade has in hand is one
worthy of serious consideration. In too
many communities of this stute there is a
lamentable absence of local pride and a
consequent sluggishness in industrial and
social functions. Clackamas county has not
been very energetic in this respect, it needs
to wake up and to grasp its opportunities
when they are ripe. There have been very
creditable fairs held in the county for a dec
ade and they have been productive of
much good; but there has been nothing
that has really risen to the dignity of a rep
resentative exposition for a large county
possessing the richest resources and most
varied industries of all the counties of the
state. It is time this matter were taken in
hand and dealt witli liberally and energet
ically. The hoard of trade has placed it in
the hands of a strong committee but the
people should aid it in its work.
It is instructive to read in this leap year
of grace that the Barlow debating club has
concluded that man would not go farther
for woman than for money. As an encour
agement to coy maids Barlow is a flat fail
ure. The British ship Ulida cleared last week
for England with l.iSO.fi'i bushels of Walla
Walla wheat, valued at $lt2,(XX), the largest
and most, valuable grain cargo that ever
left the Columbia river.
