Mou thers were not carping critics and fault-, est and competent men are the ones who tinders objectu-g to the form or act" of the are wanted to administer public trusts, government. These have been of nil degrees i An honest nun though e er so poor minimi fn-tli. Rut Is kins of mm ft-r a' thst. they have always been in the minority and to this fact do we owe the reservation of the government. Trv how we may it is not probable that ; governmet tal affairs will ever be gotten in shape entirely Jto plea.se every individual. And if every' one whose wishes had not been atu.iaiiv fftnudled ill HdVPrii Ml Put .'ll S iTiti rs should join in the hue and cry against the j government what kind ot nation would we have? The nation could not exist. The noi?y cry of calamity and numerous prophecies of evil are some of the vexutions that we must sutler for maintaining a free government. Our liberties are so secure and so absolutely in the hands of tbe ople that we can afford to pardon rebels and f , . . -. , ,u ' i ii ' changes and to carry them into eflect. It is in the (ace of this grandest liberty, truest freedom under the sun that the ex travagant, and in most cases ignorant and senseless, representations of oppression and impending disaster we hear nowadays are made. If our government were Ihe real despotism that so many of the peddlers ol fancied injuries picture it these dishonest, ignorant or misguided agitators would soon be quieted. Their actions would be stuni)ed as traitorous and they would be hustled off the stage in short order. Americans must maintain their national ity and be proud ef it. The steadfast patri otism of the vast majority of the people is what makes the great American republic the envy of the world. It gives it strength that makes it invincible and an incompara ble object lesson in freedom and enlighten ment. We must believe in our principles of liberty and equality and do our best to preserve them. It is too much to expect per iection. But if every one were to join in the pursuit of disaster it would surely come. We must not permit our patriotic pride to be dissipated by ghosts and hobgoblins, the products of diseased imaginations. Democratic Endorsement of Judge Moore. The democratic press of the state has been fairly tumbling over itself in its frantic en deavors to show Judge Moore to be a man unlit to preside over the Oregon supreme court. It quotes with great glee a story to the effect that Judge Moore acted in adishon est manner in a certain case involvlnga will. Messrs. Kiilin, Btarr A Thomas, democratic attorneys of Portland, who were opposed to Judge Moore in the case, have published the following letter over their own signa ture: Pobtiakd, Or., May 5,-Our attention ha bwn ealtnl lo certain articles published In tr rl of th newspaper of th tl. rnctlo.t on the chamour and (ntrfiltj: ol Hou. f.

Thekk has been some complaint made lhat the KxTcarxisx was nnlairly pu-bing the matter of tales paid by candidate for sheriff into too great prominence. This is a mistake. The K.iTiKratsc did not intro duce the matter of individual taxes and it only took it up on account of (be hyp.criti cal cry sent out from the sheriff's office. The Kntkkphisk expressly slateil tbal if Mr. Maddock had no better reason for a--king the votes of bis fellow citizens than the mere fact that he pays a few dollars more tax than somebody elte his chances would be slim. But when a rich man, grown fat ! at the public irib, sneaks out of ing taxes j it ill become him to cry " tai-dodgcr" ! against a poorer man who pays more than he. Wealth does not constitute a qimlilica- , ; si oi ine people s p iny cnv:is r' no- , iiaucing . ctoiue ol tne nioies were ine re j vocate the j ns-age of a law that shall make ! cipieuts ol treatises on " The Kvils of To i all ol'I;p:itio:is luvable in a; er money or ; baeco Smokingaiid Chewing,' ' liraiuilrink- i silver (which they shall have provided by the government in large iUanlitics( in spite i of the special agreement lo pay in United j States gold coin w hich, almost without ex- 'M1''1" h iitors of the Pacific slope have That is railier a queer notion to !.''' abrogate by wholesale legitimate I legally contra- ts. Kven though theconntry should be Hooded with silver and paper money those contracts would still stand nnd the man who had agreed to pay in gold would find he would have to pay in gold and the gold would cost him a great ileal more than at present. It would then be almost ini- possible to obtain gold and it would be cor i,n-vi,yifiij . Kj ..... well to quit signing, agreements to pay in gold before getting into the hands of the money sharks through tinkering with the money. The voters should beware of charges brought out in the canvass too tute to he contradicted before the election. If matters of this kind will not stand the light of in vestigation they are unworthy of belief. In formation has been received that the demo crats are preparing for a final volley of this kind. It Is not honorable politics ami it is an insult to the intelligence of the )ople to presume that such a course will win votes. Look out for the eleventh our discoverer. Ahothkr people's party campaign state ment is that the United States owes to Eng lishmen five billion dollars. Inasmuch as the greatest amount ever owed by this gov ernment was considerably under three bil lion and it scarcely owes one billion now, all told, the statement can hardly be true. Tub real estate transfers in Clackamas county thus far this year exceed a half a million dollars in value and the year is not yet half past. Interesting facts. Idaho farmers have finished seeding. New York has an Armenian daily news paper. Florida moss is being used for matresscs. Philadelphia leads in carpet manufacture. Wilmington,, Delaware, has lady car driv ers. A machine makes 30,000 wire cork-screws a day. Chess matches are indulged in by tele phone. Electricity gives employment to 5,000,000 persons. C0NY1VT8 AND ROAD-MAKLNO. Th Necessities of the tww and Objections Out lined. The legislature to he elected this tall will be citllett upon to face the oonvWt-labor problem. Kxlallng penileiiliary (Hiutracta are mhhi to expire, and atnre they cannot be renewed under the present law some new solution of this vexed matur must he at tempted. It is already prpoed by various persons that the convicts lie employed In tht mak ing of public nuxla, those who advocate this plan conleuiling Rir its adoption quiUi as iiinuh because they think It will remove con vkls from eonielillon with frua labor as txv-auM hard road are so greatly needed. Yet it is nut clear tliat the selling of th cons lets to work upon the highways would lituinate the coniietilion with Irce lalw, for there is free lalior lhat would gladly en gage in road bulldlng if such improvement ere undertaken. Thousands of men stand rea.ly to turn their hand lo that sort ol wrk and they would quite as keenly resent the employuieul of convict labor on the roails as shoe-iuskcrs now resent lis eiu ployment in the uianulaiureot footwear. However, this po.slble ohjn tion to the plan is not Important. It ia siittgesleil nierely to show that the factor ot comil lion is bound to remain so long a convicts work productively at all ; and should Ihey cease to work they will then become an ab solute burden, which free producers will have to carry, Hut titer are al least two real objections to convict labor on ihe highways, luthe first p ace, the roads ought to b improved in, at the coet of the pmperty e's-evially lne- titteil, as ill case of Chicago streets, and not at the cost of Ihe public, as would b Ihe I case were the work done by convict. And tu tbe second place. It would be bad policy to have gangs of convicts tints made familiar spectacles throughout the state. Their pres ence could scarcely fail lo have a demoral ising inrluene, they would sutler from lodg ing in tcmporury quarters and they would have many chances to escape. Chicago News Keeord.
