Thk populist whitewashing meeting last
Saturday was conducive of at least one
good result, for. in addition to convicting the
chief conspirator of assisting to defeat the
will of the people, it opened to public gaze
the moral status of the two principals. It
showed, too, that each one depended upon
relatives for enpport while they traveled
boot the country trying to shape the
financial policy of a nation. Dishwashing
was the only labor claimed to have been
performed by either. The trio would be
complete with Mary Ellen Lease in the
center to furnish brains w hile the nn.nies
made the noise. The party of "great fun
damental principles" is indeed in a bad
way for leaders when this class of traitors
Is followed.
Tbi advancement of science is being
constantly utilized in the everyday aflairs
of men, and every advantage apparently
taken of existing conditions. Bays the
Journal of Medicine and Science, Portland,
Me., a company has been organized to fur
nish cheap hot water to the poor of London,
who are ereatly in need of it The method
consists briefly of utilizing the waste beat
of the street gas lamps. The beat is ab
sorbed from the flames by means of a coil
in wbicb steam is generated and driven into
large reservoir of water contained in a
chamber at the bottom of the lamp. Tbe
hot water may be drawn off by placing
naif-penny in slot and taming valve.
The source of heat, wbicb is otherwise lost,
is thus cheap. It is proposed eventually to
extend the scheme a step further. Thus by
automatic machines placed close to the
"hot water lamp post" the man in the street
may provide himself with a cop of tea, cof
Jee, cocoa, or even beef extract.
" Thi action of the Ohio legislature in re
turning Mr. Hanna to the senate is a com
pliment to the state, not so much because
of the senator's superiority over many other
men that might bave been cbosen, but be
cause of the dirty underhanded methods
adopted by dishonest and corrupt politi
cians to bring about his defeat. Like in
tbe Oregon legis'a'.ure last winter a few re
publicans entered into a compact with the
Opposition to defeat the will ot tbe people,
but their treachery, unlike in Oregon, did
not succeed. The election of Hanna and
tbe failure to seat Mr. Corbett will have a
tendency to forever prevent a repetition of
the perfidy inaugurated at Salem one year
go. Ohio will have two republican United
States senators in congress for the first time
in many years.
The political situation in Multnomah
county between tbe republican factions de
mands serious consideration at the hands
of republican county organizations through
out tbe state, and handled as well as viewed
with due caution, so that the county organ
izations may not be drawn Into the Mult
nomah county wrangle. If this war contin
ues in Multnomah county the state con
vention when it meets next spring should
ignore the side that rejects all overtures ior
compromise. In viewing this case it must
be admitted that both sides bave been
wrong in various details, but in our opinion
tbe Simon people were the aggressors in
tbe assault and therefore more to blame,
but dismissing this belief, let us be reason
ble and admit that both sides bave made
mistakes, and tben dismiss these mistakes
and formulate some fair proposition of com
promise. ben eitber faction refuses to
submit to fairness tbe delegates to the state
convention should take the bull by the
boms and reject the arbitrary faction. The
stale convention will have this question to
settle first or last and should the warfare
continue until that time then it should pro
ceed to take a hand, but not until then.
By the populist county central commit'
tee sustaining Mr. U'Ren in bis compact
with Simon to hold up the legislature tbat
party goes on record as being responsible
for the legislative disgrace. Tbe fact must
not be overlooked that it took 40 members
of the bouse to constitute a quorum to do
business, According to U'Ren's own state
ment last Saturday tbe republicans had 38
of tbis number leaving them two short of
enough to organize. Out of tbis number
29 were in their seals every day ready to
proceed with the state's business for which
they had been elected. With the the 29 re
publicans that were preent every day tbe
populists had enongb to bave completed
the organization at any time but tbey re
fused to do so. Not even one of their num-
ber would consent to go in and assist in the
orKsniralion. Thpy were a solid compact
against all efforts to enact remedial Iclola-
tion Tor which they had pltHlpni the nist'lvrs
every day during the state campaign of
1SSW. There was not a single day during
the attempted session that the populist
members could not have supplied the
required two-thirds to make up a quorum
for the transaction of busineas. Hut did
they do it? No. And the reason they did
not is well explained In Mrs. towelling's
sworn allldavit w hich appears in another
column of this paper.
TflAT REDUCTION IS WAGES.
Much ha been said of late in regard to a
'.'.... . , , .
"" c hich n made In wases by
i the cotton manufacturing establishments
of tbe New England states recently in
which the reduction is charged directly to
the operation ol the Pingley tariff law by
the enemies of protection. The parties at
tacking the measure do not look at but one
point in the case and therefore tbe criticism
is an unfair one.
In the first place the labor organizations
of New England, by constant agitation and
direct demands had laws passed by the leg
islatures ol several states making eight
hours a days work and the manufacturing
establishments submitted to this when
they bad been previously working 10 hours
for a day. In the second place since it be
came apparent that the Diugley bill would
become a law cotton factories bave been
established in many ol the Southern states,
which accounts for several democratic sen
ators troin the South having supported the
tariff measure, and the sentiment for pro
tection has been growing down there for
several years. These Southern states have
not been prolific of labor organisations
and consequently tbe state legislatures
bave not been called upon to regulate tbe
hours of labor. The factories work all the
way from 10 to 13 hours per day.
By the springing into existence of cotton
factories in tbe South and thereby perhaps
doubling the extent of the cotton mill out
put in the United States within very
short period of time, the market has
become somewhat overstocked, and at the
same time the New England mills working
eight hours a day could not compete in
price with the mills of the South working
from 10 to 13 hours a day. For instance
tbe Southern mill owner would get at least
one-third more profit from the same
amount paid his labor than would the mill
man in New England, consequently the
northern manufacturer, working his men
only eight hours per day, which result was
brought about by the laborers themselves,
must reduce the wages or else suspend bus
iness. Were tbe wages per hour the same
in both sections there would be no need of
reduction, but where one works a long
day and the other short one at the same
price, the latter must suffer. It is the
same in every day life, for the man who
works the longest hours will accomplish
tbe greatest results. Has any one heard of
a reduction in wages being made in the
South? Tbe machinery used is the same
as in the North, and the material is tbe
same, but the reason is in the difference in
the bours of labor. The Southern people
do not complain ol tbe tariff law, nor do
those of the North. It is the difference
between the bours of labor that bas caused
the difficulty, which must be easily under
stood by all fair minded and reasonable
men.
WHAT THE PAEEE3 SAY.
(Milton Eagle.)
A congressman from New York has Intro
duced the most sensible, equitable pension
bill tbat has ever come before con
gress. It repeals all existing pension laws,
and provides a pension of $8 per month for
every soldier bearing an honorable dis
charge, and if the soldier is disabled a pen
sionef$12per month. No pension is al
lowed to widows who become the wives of
soldiers after the war and none for the
children. It is claimed for this bill that
notwithstanding the fact that it will add
200,000 names to the pension list, It will re
duce the pension appropriation at least one
half. Nobody of American birth begrudges
tbe old soldier the pittance allowed by tbe
government for his maintenance, but a pen
sion should not be a legacy to be handed
down to generations which were unborn at
the close of the war; neither should it be
transferable to Wives of deceased soldiers if
the marriage was contracted since that date
(Hillsboro Independent.)
The love feast in the populist ranks in
Clackamas county bids Tair to uncover not
only U'Ren, tbe self confirmed paid agent
of the manager ol tbe late legislative "hold
up," but tbeir managers themselves. His
declaration heretofore made tbat be and his
populist colleagues, with the honorable ex
ception ol Ogle of Clackmas county, received
from f SO to 100 each as the price of their un
faithfulness to the interest of their constit
uents, places him and these cheap col
leagues in tbe list of the bribed ; but who are
the bribers? His statement that this corrup
ting fund was furnished by "Mitchell's
enemies" is sufficiently definite as to their
class but not as to the individuals. It is to
be hoped that before these populist leaders
have finished washing their dirty linen the
public may learn as to who furnished the
clover on which these populist bulls grew
fat and kicked. Honest men can look on
the fight between U'Ren and bis populist
brother, with tbe indifference ot the woman
in tbe result of the fight between ber hus
band and the bear. Hoping that they will
learn what bloated banker in these hard
times furnished the funds to corrupt the
Oregon legislature, and satisfied that the
briber is an enemy to the republican party.
(Baker City Republican.)
There will be but one party of sound
money in tbe next national election, and its
candidates will receive the votes of those
who last year voted for Palmer and Buck
tier, as well as those who supported Mc
Kinley and Hobart. This is a logical resu''
of the action of the democratic members
of tbe lower house of congress when in cau
cus assembled they unanimously decided to
oppose .the progam of the republicans for
the retirement of the greenback and treas
ury notes and the extension of the national
banking system. In this action the house
democrats launched themselves again on
tlie sea of Rrrsntiackinni, wlinsa ilormi
brought thttni iiirli itisaslpr a srore ofveaia
ago, amt with free silver sails tliey now
propose to attempt anolner perilous vovaiie.
That they will again be overwhelmed Is ap-
parent. Every effort in that lint has been
disastrous, and every step Ir, the direction
ot fiat money drives the sound money men
and business men of all classes out from the
democratic ranks and Into those of the, re

Stores Fllird With Klondike Supplies
ef Every Description.
A stranger who had not heard of Klon
dike, if there could be such a one, land
ing in Portland at the present time and
seeing the displays of Klondike supplies
In so many windows, would be led to
wonder what kind of business the mer
chants ot this city were engaged in, and
in what hyperborean region their cus
tomers resided, says the Oregonian.- On
every hand are to be seen figures of stal
wart, bearded men, clad in suits of mack
inaw, brown-blue, old-gold and mottled,
with fur, leather or cloth caps, with
visors or mask, Uieir eyes concealed bv
goggles, wearing heavy hob-nalled shoes
and huge felt or woolen stockings on
their feet, pack on back, revolver on hip,
and huge mittens on their hands. Other
such figures are seen stretched at length
in huge canvas sleeping bags, lined with
fur or sheepskin. Near by will be seen
long sleds, loaded with sacks, boxes, a
stove, cooking utensils, etc. Terhaps
there will be a deer, with a brand-new
set of harness, bitched to the sled. All
around are picks, pans, long-handled
shovels and many other things the use
of which is only known to those who
nave been in the mines.' Many per
sons who know nothing about mining
and have no idea of ever going to the
mines, stop to look at the strange assort
ments of articles for miners' use dis
played. How to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver be inactive, you have a bilious look ;
if your stomacb be disordered, you haye
a pinched look. "Electric Bitters" is a
good Alterative and Tunic. Acts directly
on the stomach, liver and kidneys
Purifies the blood, cures pimples, blotches
and boils, and gives a good complexion
Every bottle guaranteed. Hold at Char

In Olden Times.
People overlooked the importance of
permanently beneficial effects and were
satisfied with transient action ; but now
that it is generally known that Syrup of
Figs will permanently overcome habitual
constipation, well-inlormed people will
not buy other laxatives, which act for a
time, but finally injure the system. Buy
the genuine. Manufactured by the Cali

them. They may dreBs ever so well,
but if their shirt front or shirt waist is
musny their neat appearance is spoiled.
