If the republicans of Oregon City ami Clarkamas county bare not already buckled on their armor for the canifaiK'i of next June it is nigh time to enter the lists for an aggressive light. The events of the past year hare folly demonstrated that it is a matter of business and that it is to the in terest of all good citizens to see to it that the affairs of the government are administered jnhb the object of promoting the business ;aaccss and prosperity of the country. Jt lias come home to the business man and to tii laborer that lie needs enough of poli tics in his government to insure confidence, integrity, and a wise administration of the a flairs of the government in all of ils j branches. The republican party has demon strated its ability to do this while the demo cratic party has upon tbe other side proven itself utterly incompetent and unreliable. Its action at present in seeking to ally itself with the populists who are given over to wild, visionary and impractirable schemes, shows that the leaders at least ara willing to resort to any expediency or trick merely for the sake of power. If the republicans are to have the) com bined opposition to fight there is the greater need for activity at thia time. In the or ganization of the young men of this city through the club bearing their name, a meeting of which Is called for next week, there Is presented an opportunity for all re publicans to fall In line with the party that received the government with credit wrecked and an empty treasury; success fully waged a great war and paid a large part of the great debt then incurred, mean while giving to the country such laws as re stored its credit, improved its rivers, lakes and seaports and brought continued pros perity till the success of the party which wrecked the treasury again threatened a re turn of conditions fraught will) greet na tional and business danger. If the voters of Oregon want a change from the present evil times let them go to the meetings of the republican clubs and party, and help to or ganize for success in June next. Now is the time to do the work. go any lurthcr In this direction than the country has already gone J If so a continu ation of democratic votes and power will give it. Senator Polph says: "The coun try was Sieedily Hooded with Uritish goods; large shipments of foreign niamilai-ttiri'i were also made to the United Slates from al most every country of Kurope. M any of the goods were not adapted (o our necessities. Merchandise was ltnnried In such quantl lies that there was not store room for it; and we are told by writers ol that day that quantities of merchandise lav upon the wharves unhoused tor many days. Our In dustries, which had lived through long, desolating war. were destroyed. The peo ple bought largely of foreign goods. All the specie in the country was sent abroad to pay for importations. The power of the people to pay for goods was exhausted. The surplus of foreign goods was so great that the prices fell in many Instances far below the cost of production In the country of their manufacture. Domestic industries were ruined; property would not sell for enough to pay taxes; labor was unem ployed! bankruptcy was universal, and dis content prevailed everywhere. There was loss of confidence between man and man; despondency, suspicion, and desperation seized men's minds, and general discontent soon ripened into riots and insurrections." SriAKisa of the low and unsatisfactory price which cereals bring a California paper observes that "wheat is at such a low ebb in price from the market constantly falling that farmers, in California, at least, must bethink themselves of some more profitable crop. The rancher ol the valley lands of Califor nia has not the excuse that be can do noth ing else but plant cereals, which is practi cally all that the farmers of the northwest ern states are permitted to do by the cli mate. They can grow almost any crop to perfection, and may abandon cereals alto gether except for local supplies and devote their skill to the cultivation of the sugar beet, the raising of fruit, cattle, sheep. Tin editors of the country papers have to bear the brunt of every campnigtt and II is only lair and just that they should be recognlred In the distribution of slate of fices, As a rule they have to do the light ing, take all tliecurses ami the other Mlns take Iho plums. There Is one otltce that la directly in line with the practical newspaper man's business, and he should he recog nized as the proper one to lie nominated therefor. We refer to the oltlca of state printer, .and would nrge upon the stale press the necessity of uniting to secure the ollloe for a representative of the Country press where It by rights ought to go. If the papers themselves demand recognition from the convention In this matter their wishes will not lie ignored. limn Is a problem which the hands who have been employed In the woolen mill In this city may ponder over while they are waiting for the demand for shoddy goods to improve so that the mills can start up again If five officers receive '-7.000 per annum for their valuable services what Justice is there in pinching the 'i" employees who do the hard work In the mill down to $T.000 per annum. Is it any wonder that the good wile has been obliged to go Into the mill and to take in washing to help out? St. H n ri has organized a ritualistic se cret order republican club and will proceed at once to organize all parts of the county Into subordinate clubs w hich will send dele gates to monthly meetings of the county club. No one but members all! be allowed to be present at the meetings, and it is thought that the work which the club can do will be considerable. The plan is a novel one, at least In the republican ramp.

With a change to more diversified industries and particularly to stock raising and dairying they changed the conditions and made themselves a well to do clas while many got rich. mmm Thi democratic partv is making a failure in its conduct of the affairs of tbe nation and the Telegram has at last been com pelled to admit that such is the case. It says: 'There is only one way for the demo cratic party to come safely through this cru-ial period, and that is to substitute pat riotism for expediency. It must clear itself of the suspicion of being under British doni Tin starvation wages paid in the woolen mill has compelled parents to take their small children from school, where the law says that they must go and place them al service in the mill so that the combined wages of both parents and children might keep the wolf from the door. " I. it no guilty man escape," is not the rating principle with the democratic party so far as Ilium Is concerned. omioNs or the press. New port News: The press generally con eludes that this able representative of Ore (ton's interests should be renominated to serve a few years longer where he is now. We do not believe that Mr. Hermann ever asked anvone to urge bis candidacy for ination, and must inaugurate policies that governor. Never since his first nomination A LEAR SCHOOL. At the meeting of the convention of re publican clubs of Ohio Governor McKinley said: " We are attending upon the school of ex perience; and while the scholarship is free, the expense is enormous. Nor is there a business man or working man who would not, if he had the power to do it, defeat the Wilson hill, and stop at once all present ag Ration of the tarifl. This sentiment is not confined to Ohio or the East, but extends to the South and West. Louisiana and Ten nessee, Alabama, West Virginia and North Carolina were quite as earnestly against tbe Wilson bill as any of the Eastern, Middle Western or Pacific states. It Is to be re gretted that the people must so long wait, must so long sutler, and suffer from their own agents; but as this is a government of Jaw, tbe people, who are the sovereign, must submit to the law. Tbe lesson, however dear it bas been to tbe country and its vast interests, may be useful. It will teach us all that elections are serious public transac tions, and that their effect does not end on the day of the election, but continues through the legal and constitutional term for which a president and congress are elected, and cannot be ended sooner." Continuing, he predicted that the next house would be republican by a large ma jority, and that in 1806 the people would re store the republicans to control of the na tional administration. He said; "The people want a change, and they want it badly. They want it sooner than they ever dreamed they would want it; and they never wanted to vote so badly in all their history as they do to-day. They are tired of their contract before the period of its legal termination ; they are tired of this tariff-tinkering, bond-issuing, debt-increasing, treasury-depleting, business-paralyzing, wage-reducing, queen-reBtoring administra tion." are so Intensely American that the Ameri can ople will have faith in them. It should elevate principles above its leaders. No one man has the right to dictate the pol icy of his party, no matter how strong kis individuality or with what power he is in vested. The president is a power and con gress is a power, hut, after all, the people are stronger (ban either the president or congress. And it is the eople who make and unmake parties." Prating of patriot ism and principles in one breath and howl ing for fusion or anything to beat tbe repub licans and hold power in the next, is char acteristic of democratic consistency as ex emplified in the columns of the Telegram. With free trade, wage earners of the Uni ted States must learn to eiect to work for such wages as are paid in the most down trodden countries on the face ol tbe earth which engage in manufacturing. A case in hand comes in the announcement of the United States consul at Belfast, Ireland, that the English carpet makers are preparing to reduce the prices of carpets about 40 ier cent. This reduction can be made only by a reduction in tbe rates of wages. To which the San Francisco Call observes: The worst point in the free trade policy is that a drop in wages in one country compels a like drop in all competing countries. If English car pet manufacturers reduce wages American carpet manufacturers, unless protected by a sufficient tariff, will have the alternative of making a corresponding reduction or go out of business. What going out of business means to the wage earner is beginning to be pretty well understood in the United States. Ox Monday the Knights of Pythias of this city will observe tbe 30th anniversary of j the founding of the order by appropriate exercices to which they have issued invita tions to the capacity of their hall. The order is one of the prosperous young orders of this city, and although it has been organ ized here a little less than tvo years It has bad a prosperous growth and embraces some of the brightest young men of the city. Its founder was J. H. Rath bone of Wash ington, D. C, who instituted the first lodge in 1804, tbe object being to found an order devoted to friendship, charity and benevo lence. From the start of thirty years ago with less than ten members it has Increased in membership and influence till it now numbers over 400,000 members and is classed among the strong orders of the country while it exerts a conservative and salutary influence. has Mr. Hermann been present at a con vention even, asking for office. The eople recognizing his efficiency, have nominated and elected him just as they will again. Ilillsboro Indndent: There seems to be a prevailing sentiment among the newspa pers of the state that the office of state printer rightly belongs to tbe newspeier mou men actually engaged in newspaier work, if the office of state printer is to be held by men of other callings, then why not promote the farmer to the Judicial bench, or tbe sailor to the schoolroom, or the carpenter at the throttle ol the locomo tive, and so on all along tbe line. To suc cessfully manage a 'business requires ap prenticeship In that particular line of busi-ni-bs. Success cannot be expected otherwise. Astoria Sunday Herald: Republican ticket Governor, Ford anil Waldo of Ma rion and Lee of Polk county. For congress Hon. C. VY. Fulton of Astoria can have the nomination if he will accept it. The demo crats are talking of John Myers for governor. Eugene Register: It is now announced that W. H. Spaugh is a candidate for the office of secretary ol state on the populist ticket. If tbe matter were sifted down it would be found that all the populist lead ers are after office. That is why they urge the oiganization and development of the new party. Tbey can't be elected under the old parties so tlicy start a party of their own. Mr. Hardest Declines. I wish to say that my attention bus been called to the appearance of my name in the last issue of the Kntkkpkihe for my accept ance of an oflice by the ofllce seeking me. I thank the editor of the Kmtekfkisk very much for his high esteem and tlieconfldence he has in me hy using my mime and placing me before the people through his able journal. But in replying I desire to state that I would not accept any office under any circumstances as my business is such that it requires my constant attention, and you will confer a valued favor by so stating to my highly appreciated republican friend.

It ia taken from Senator Dolph's speech opon tbe tariff question. The threat of the renewal ol the policy which brought about this condition bas tended to produce the same results. This is only natural as it is a fundamental law that like causes pro duce like results. Do our readers want to in the state could be tilled canipetent men at calarias one-third less than those being paid at present. The same might be said of the state officers. A gen eral cutting down all clong the line ought to be indulged in by the next legislature. There is no good reason why a man who fills a county oflice should be paid enough for four years' work to enable him to buy a good farm when he Is retired. Nat. Blum in Washington is having a high time with the administration officials who stand near the throne while one of his tools who did the work and got but little of tbe pay lies in the county jail under a two years sentence for smuggling. The demo cratic party bas always boasted that it was no respecter of persons, but the career of the boss smuggler in Washington would in dicate that it is a respecter of Blum. . in this county and I don't know as any of them want me to be'slierilfor anything else.
