THE SPECIAL MESSAGE.
At last President Cleveland has aroused
himself to the needs of the hour, and has
delivered a message to congress on the Yen
eiuela question. It is the first typical
American paper that he has given out, and
shows that he has at last become imbued
with the spirit that is everywhere mamlest
in the United States that demands a more
strict enforcement of the Monroe doctrine.
The American people have borne about as
long as they will stand it, the steady en
croachment of England on the Western
continent, and the world's greatest land-
grabber will have to call a bait or trouble
will ensue. The sooner England under
stands that the American continent is for
Americans, and that she cannot acquire an
other foot of territory or continue her bul
lying demeanor toward the nations of this
continent, the better it will be for her. War
is a terrible thing and in a certain sense is
a calamity to a country, but national dis
grace and loss of honor is even worse, and
as much as Americans love peace there is a
limit to their forbearance, and England and
all Europe may as well understand that po
litical matters of the two continents will not
be allowed to be mixed.
In this message President Cleveland has
done much to redeem bis administration
from the weak, vacillating foreign policy
heretofore pursued, and its utterance will do
much to raise our national honorand stand
ing among the nations of the earth.
So little interest is taken in the next na
tional democratic convention if there is to
be one that it is hardly talked of as yet,
and there is no contest among the big' cities
for it like there was to secure the republican
convention. Doubtless this apathy on the
part of the great cities in declining to enter
the contest for the convention is the fear of
the depressing influence that would be ex
erted on their people and trade by having
with them to many forlorn and hopeless
men as a democratic convention would now
gather together.
KsnLAsn, Pec. It!. To th Kihtor: Will
you kindly allow me to trespass on your
columns once more to answer in part that
genius who runs the Herald, and who sets
himself up as a teacher of others. He came
out in a great tirade last week and by the
way he squealed he must have been hit
pretty hard. He complains of a "deacon,"
and wonders if my sentiments are sincere
or not. I would say if my Insincerity was
as patent as his ignorance on questions of
political economy I would shut up and
stay shut.
I do not intend to carry this matter any
farther, and would not have taken any no
tice of it at the time ths Herald man spoke
in Redland hall, If he bad not made such
outrageous misrepresentations and quoted
Scripture to prove his assertions. 1 main
tain today that he is as ignorant of political
questions as he is of Scripture. But it is oi
no use to argue with a populist on any
iuestion ot the day. They will villify their
own fathers in public otllce if said fathers
are not populisU.
In his article in his paper of the 1.1th, the
Herald editor starts out with a misrepresent
ation by saying I uphold alien ownership of
land the more acres the better. It was
nothing of the kind. He said several times
no man should be allowed to own more
land than he could cultivate; all over that
ought to be taken away and given to some

While no decisive battles have been
fought in Cnba yet it appears that the insur
gents are steadily gaining. Spain contin
nee to send troops to Cuba, but so far they
appear to be raw levies, and are no match
for the Cubans who are continually ambush
ing and slaughtering them, Spain is so
' badly crippled financially and to rotten po

possible for her to subdue the Cubans, the
winning of whose independence appears to
be but a question of time.
SPIRIT OF THE PRESS
The " Carpet Trade and Review," a trade
paper devoted to the interests of the carpet
industry and non-partisan in politics, has
the following Interview with John Ban
ford, of the great carpet manufacturing
firm of 8. Sandford & Sons, which ii a
good illustration of bow the average busi
ness man feels about the political situation:
" 8peaking of the carpet business in par
ticular," he said, " when trade is not good
we think the true plan is for each manufac
turer to make just what he can sell and no
more, and take bis medicine like a man
until better times come. We as manufac
turers do not feel that we have any right to
more than our share of the trade at any
time. We do not feel that we are responsi
ble for any ol the reductions that have been
made; we did not court them, but if they
are made we have to meet them in the best
way we can in order to run our works and
obtain our share of the trade.
" I look for a great business In the year
1890. I think with 1895 we have seen the
last of the hard times in general business,
and in the carpet trade in particular. I
think the late elections have been most re
.assuring in every way. The result was un
doubtedly a surprise to the democratic par
ty. There was no panic; in fact, things
were improving, oui me peop e din not lor-1
get the lesson they hud received under dem
ocratic rule. They hail tried the new order
of tilings and did not like tlietn. The air
has been full of ' isms,' free silver, popu
lism, socialism, and an un-American noli.
cy; and last, but not least, a jumbled upjU
tariff bill, which has been steadily injuring jf;
all our industriesour woolen manufac-jL'
earth, and he never meant one man to own
more of it than another. And so about
riches: he abused al the wealthy men in
general; said their wealth was not honestly
gotten, and went on with his Scripture to Coughing irritates the delicate organs
prove liod did not mean it to be so, for he ami aggravates Hie disease. Instead of
had not made any rich men, and that tak-1 -.:,:,, trv ()n MimllH rol,L,h r.lrH i.
ng interest was unlawful and robbery. , , , . , ,.
" J I l,.m,a (it nn.hi mabaa uvtuti.tfimlinn until.
Then he told a funnv story that happened: , ,, ' , . . '
dnrin, th. I..t ren.lhlican .dn,.nUtr.li..n reduCe8 11,0 feneBS mmUlllltlOi:.
about some funnv items that were allowed I Kvel7 one I'1"-'8
n a bill by that congress. There was a lot
of quinine pills, a lot of sponges, Hesh
brushos, bath tubs, several gallons nf car
bolic acid, and a lot of other things, tie
said he bad picked out the most ridiculous,
and he could not imagine what tbey were
for. So at the close of his address the dea
con proceeded to enlighten him. He was
told those funny articles he alluded to were
real necessaiies, and would soon be needed
again. They were all required to bury the
democratic party with, and they would
soon be required again for the pops. In
the land case Mr. Fitch was referred to
Abraham, and for rich men to Abraham,
olomon and Job. Then he undertook to
prove to us by the parable of the ten talents
that interest Is unlawful, and to show how
much he knows about it I quote what be
says in his own paper. There are tome
more deacons out here in the woods who
would like to know where he gets his ten
talents for each of bis ten servants. But to
the quotation:
"He the deacon upholds the system of
sury, fast dispossessing the great common
people of the earth and the fulness thereof,
because be reads in a parable where His Fa
ther is likened unto a nobleman who went
into a far country leaving 10 talents with
each of bis ten servants and who, upon his
return, rebuked a servant because be had
not put bis money in a bank that be might
receive bis own with usury,' adding 'thou
knewest I was an austere man, taking up
that I laid not down, and reaping that I
did not sow,' a Jthlef convicted ont of bis
own mouth) and yet this deacon would
have ns believe that Christ, by indirection,
sanctioned the act of appropriating the toil
of another rather than wishing to convey
the idea that a Christian should Improve his
opportunities for doing good."
I think I need say no more. This is a
sample of a Kansas pedagogue posing as an
Oregon demagogue. Tell him if be comes
out here again to bring some one to help
bim a little, as there are more deacons here
who will lay for him next time he comas.
Just one more remark and I am done:
Mr. Fitcbmade a lotot outrageous asser
tions and demanded a bible to prove them
by, and when he was beaten with bis own
weapons becallB me "deacon," and in acol-umn-and-a-half
article in the Herald be
moralizes on my depravity, and wonders
what is under the lappel ol' my coat. It is
lust this, that il I am a republican deacon I
glory in my office and am glad that I am not, rp-q-rj-iy
