FA ULT OF THE K'ORKMEX.
We beg the attenton ol those workmen
who are vise enough to disbelieve in the
talk about " capitalistic press;" we also
beg the attention of those who are silly
enoi'gh to give credence to it. Except that
it lakes great deal of money to establish
nd maintain a newspaper, there is nothing
capitalistic about the press. There cannot
be. A newspaper that should depend upon
the support of the rich would perish quickly,
The profits of a newspaper come from its
circulation and its sale of space to adver
tisers. Both of these depend largely upon
the sire of the wage fund. When workmen
re (retting good par retailers make large
sales, and when they make large sales
they buy advertising space liberally. It is
of great importance to a newspaper that
work should be plentiful and wages high.
It is the necessary policy of a newspaper to
advocate liberal compensation.
These preliminaries are made by way of
emphasis to the disinterested advice that we
now ofler to workmen, and especially to
workmen in mines. Half a loal, or even a
quarter, is better than no bread. The wages
of labor are low because ot uncertainty as to
future conditions of tariff and currency,
. While conditions are uncertain it is wise to
make the best of them the best will not be
good.
The theory ol the striking miners is that
if they hold out long enough the mine own
ers will be forced to give them high wages,
because when the supply of coal now above
ground is exhausted, necessity, as they
argue, will compel the owners to replenish
at any cost. The workmen forget that "you
cannot soueeze blood out of a turnip." If
the mine owners be forced to pay high
wages they must sell at high prices, and
under present conditions large sales cannot
be made at high prices. High prices would
entail greatly reduced consumption. The
people cannot now buy high-priced coal in
such quantities as are usual to them when
times are good.
So that were the miners successful in com
pelling a bigber wage price per ton they
would lose on the shrinkage of tons pro
duced as much as they would gain by tbe
increase of wages per ton.
When times are as they were in 1891-92
wages and tbe consumption of the things
produced by wage-earners will be as great
as they then were not before then.
Moreover, every day that a mill, a factory,
or a railway either, is idle for want of coal,
or runs on short time for lack of it, or in
creases the price for freight or goods on
account of the clearness of it, is a day that
brings increase of the hardships that the
people now endure. Every circumstance
that throws one more man out of work, or
that shortens tbe working time of one man.
or that adds to the price of a necessity of
life, is an aggravation of present evils. In
ordinary timet) the enhancement of the sell
ing price of material is not necessarily an
evil, for it may be accompanied by a corres
ponding inerease of purchasing power. The
workmen are to blame when they aggravate
evil conditions by introducing new circum
stances ol evil.
The worst of it is that, while the strikers
starve and tbe people sutler, a few idle
" leaders of labor" enjoy unwonted pros
perity. It is not the handful of fellows who
advise and order strikes that sutler. It is
" we the people," of whom the strikers are
a considerable part.
WHAT, WHY JJfD WHO.
Many will conclude from a perusal of the
election returns that the battle of ballots on
Monday was a victory for the republicans.
To a certain extent only is this the case. It
was a victory of sound principles and think
ing, conservative men over populistic falla
cies which threatened this state and county.
So much noise bad been made by the popu
lists, and so much claimed by the leaders,
that it was feared that their two year's work
of organization might have resulted in add!
' tions to their ranks which the few months
active work of the republican party and
club might not be able to overcome. Tbe
importance of the issue was recognized not
only by republicans, but by democrats and
all thinking men, so that it became a busi
ness issue a question of bread and butter,
It was felt upon all sides that the success of
populism in Oregon would be a severe blow
to all industries, whicn must be prevented
if possible. J n this emergency partisanship
was made subservient to business necessi
ties, and men voted for the candidate rep-
resenting sound principles whose chances
for success were the most pertain.
In Clackamas county it was known that
the republican party and lis candidate
stood the best show of beating the dangerous
vagaries represented by lVnnoyer and pop
ulism, and the thinking men of the county
voted that ticket regardless of their past
parly afltliatlons. The announcement or
the success of the republican ticket by the
most pronounced majority ever given in
tbe history of the slate will do much to re
deem Oregon from the odium east uihiii her
by the unscrupulous demagogue lio has
disgraced the governor's olllce and the peo
ple whom he was supposed to represent.
Tin legislature in both branches is safely
republican, perhaps 'too strongly o for the
best legislation to result, since there is al
ways a tendency upon the part of all par
ties possessing great strength to Use their
power in promoting personal and party In
terests rather than in seeking to save and
spend for the best goed of the entire state.
No republican elected to olllce, and ese
cially to the legislature, has any right to
infer from the vote that he has been given
unlimited power to spend the people' money
or enact laws inimical to the general good.
Tbe party In its platform and canvass
Pledges is committed to the strictest econ
omy in the administration of the atl'airsof
the state. Large as was the vote given t'le
ticket on Monday that result can and will
be overcome at another election if the peo
ple see that tne men then chosen to office
are recreant to the trust reiosed in them.
The people of this state have long felt the
evil effects of the depressing times, and have
been obliged to resort to the strictest per
sonal and business economy. The same
pri nciples must be adopted and adhered to
in the administration of county and state
aflairs. The republicans will be in control,
therefore responsible, and they, must be
loyal to their pledges and careful in all
affairs of legislation and administration.
Si!ri the organisation of the republican
party as the successor of the old whig party,
it and democracy have been recognised po
litical enemies. Each has proven in many
a battle a foe worthy of the steel and best
efforts ot the other party. That It was
within the power of democracy to deleat
the republicans in this county and tbe state,
or make the result very doubtful, Is shown
by the combined vote of tbe populists and
democrats at the last election. That fusion
was not effected In Clackamas county is due
to tbe stand taken by mauy of tbe leading
democrats who felt that the occasion de
manded a higher standard than party fealty
or domination. Such are entitled to credit
for the stand taken, and unite with republi
cans in rejoicing over the result.
Thi campaign just closed was between or
ganised extremists who advocated tbe most
visionary schemes upon the one hand and
earnest business men who believe in honest
business methods in the conduct of private
and governmental affairs. The almost uni
versal success of tbe latter is the strongest
endorsement which the people of Oregon
could have written. By a mighty stroke of
the ballot they have condemned populism
and all its vagaries Pennoyer and all his
demagoguery.
Verily, it was a good day's .

work.
The Newberg Graphic in suggesting a
better and more economic government urges
the abolition ol the several commissions.
It says : " Our state legislature for the past
two or three sessions have gone wild on the
business of creating commissions for this
and that. The people have bad enough of
it and tbe probabilities are that at the ses
sion beld next winter tbe commission craze
dl get a black eye. Let the whole business
be knocked higher than a kite.
Sivixof the famous "traveling stones"
of Nevada were recently displayed in a
Denver hotel. When placed on a table,
within two or three feet of each other, they
commenced approaching until they all met
at a common center. A single stone, hav
ing been removed four feet from the other
six, which were left in a cluster, returned
to the bunch ; but did not at five feet.
Tua Hood which now holds Portland in
its clutches is a dire calandty, inasmuch as
it is not only destroying lots of property at
a time when business and laboring men can
ill aflord it, but it has practically brought
business to a standstill. The worst of it is
that a Hood of the character of tbis one does
not subside in a few davs, but it must con
tinue till at least the middle of Juhc
While the the high water is not doing
any great damage in this city it is cutting
in on the mills and the wages that the em
ployes earn by stopping them for a time
This condition, however, is not likely to
continue long. Another dumae is In the
shut down ol the improvements under way
at the locks. The work there can hardly be
resumed before the first of July.
Gov. Waite, populist of Colorado, re
cently called out the state militia to disjierse
the deputy sheriffs who had been sum
moned to defend the mining property which
the strikers were burning and otherwise de
stroying. Hue h is populism. Well may the
people of Oregon congratulate themselves
that they are soon to be rid of their populist
governor.
Pkiok to election the Astoria Herald con
tained the following editorial comment:
1 Hon. W. N. Barrett has made one of the
best prosecuting attorneys Clatsop county
has ever had. He will be elected by a large
majority as no one is running against him
except Silas Bungstarter Bmitb and be is
next to nothing going West."

Mow to Car For Canarloe.
Keep the canary scrupulously clean.
Tbe cage should be strewn every morn
ing with clean sand or fine gravel.
Freeh water must be given every day,
both for drinking and buthing the lat

those small blown rape seeds which are
obtained from plants sown in the spring
and which ripen during thd summer.
A little cbickweed in spring, lettuce
leave in summer and endive in au

winter, may be aafely given, but bread
and sugar ought to be generally avoid
ed. Occasionally a few poppy or cana

very sparingly. During the winter tbe
cage should never be bung in a room
without a fire, bat even then, when the
air la mild and the sun Rhine bright,
have the window open. The cage should
never be less than 8 inches in diameter
and a foot high, with perches at differ

How to Make Flannel Caket.
Twelve ounces of flour, a quart of
milk, 8 eggs, 2 teaspoonfuls of bak
ing powder, one-half teaspoonful of
salt. Mix the baking powder, salt and
flour together, stirring In as much of
the milk as will make a stiff batter.
Beat it smooth, adding tbe remainder
of the milk and the eggs, well beaten.
Bake on a griddle.
How to Disinfect a Houm.
One of tbe commonest houxehold dis
infectants is crude carbolic acid, which
consists of a mixture of pnre carbolic
and cresylio acids, and is of a reddish
brown color. Its strong, tarlike odor
renders it a not disagreeable deodorant,
but its insolubility in ordinary wutcr,
which is in inverse ratio to the amount
of cresylic acid present, is, In a sense,
a considerable drawback. It mixes, how
ever, much more freely with hot water,
and for all practical purposes tbe solu
tion thus produced is sufficiently useful.
Patients in some cases object to the
smell, and some other disinfectant is to
be resorted to. Its inexpensiveness ren
ders it acceptable in public institutions,
offices, railway stations. A refined prep
aration known as crystalline carbolic
acid is more expensive, but of much
more easy application; it mixes readily
with warm water, so that a saturated
solution is readily made.
How to Make a ltlnty Veil Cut.
Cut a strip of either white or blue
linen 10 inches long by 14 wide and
fold it exactly in half. On tbe side that
lies uppermost embroider with Turkish
floss, in the color that best suits the lin
en. Press the work carefully, fold the
linen again and mark scallops ronnd all
the edges. Work the ends through with
thicknesses of cloth, but let the two
long ends be scalloped each by itself so
Is to form tbe opening through which
to admit the veils. Cut the edges with
sharp scissors, that they may show no
careless ends of thread, and when yon
have again pressed the linen tbe case
will be coin ul era.

Sometimes the moat careful washing
will not wholly remove tbe flavor or
odor of food from the utensil In which
it was cooked. Thi Is frequently the
case with fish, onions, cabbage, etc.,
but there I a remedy which, though a
little trouble, I well worth trying. Aft
er any of those article have been cook
ed, wash tbe ntensil carefully with soap
and water. Nearly fill it with cold wa
ter, aud for each quart of water add
about a tnblespnonful of dissolved wash
ing soda. Dace on tbe fire and let the
water get boiling hot. Now turn this
water into the sink. Rinse the utensil
with clean warm water, and on wiping
it dry it will be found perfectly sweet.
