Hemn.er Marmot Adolph Ascbotl lsTThe way ta fcalM Bp Oregon City to U give Oregon City People jonr Patronage. Tuasptdlof weather that haaaettled down upon the Willamette valley baa played baJea with the populiatic crop. Good crope and populism don't mix. Thi bop picker and threaher were abroad in the Willamette valley Sunday. Circumstances sometimes warrant a complete fracture of the Sabbath and this waa one. A Niw Yoke anti-expansionist paper declares that the Dewey reception is a political job, ala Courier-Herald. What horrible bogies those antii do raise op for their own torment. Thi calamity howlera whothave been predicting all kinds of distress for the Oregon agriculturalist are forced to seek a new subject since the reports have come in from the bop yards and wheat fields. Osegos bids fair to produce the world's (Neatest billiardist in W. D. Harrison, a Portland boy. It's a mighty wet day when the great Webfoot state cannot keep in the bald-headed row in any old thing. The only way to build np Oregon City ia to drop all petty jealousies and every body work together for the interest of the town. Don't be afraid to advocate anything that promises to help your neighbors business. What helps your neighbor helps you. Tiiebe is a strong similarity between the resolutions on the Philippine war which are being passed now by demo cratic conventions, and the resolutions on the civil war which were adopted by the democrats in 18G1-4. It would seem strange that the party would risk the disastrous experiment of the 00's in the eame century. Oveb at Forest Grove at a public meeting it was decided that hop picking in all wrong because hope are used In the manufacture of beer. The humor of this appears in the fact that while Forest Grove is a small burg and re markably healthy, there are three drug stores in the town and the owners are among the wealthiest men in town. Forest Grove is a prohibition town, but from outward appearances the people there don't practice what they preach. . Now that Dreyfus has been found guilty by the court martial the Court of Cessation may take the extreme course it was empowered and inclined to take when it granted the plea for revision. It can set the entire proceedings aside and return Dreyfus to his place in the army. It sometimes looks as though tiiia would be the only solution of the problem. The military gentlemen know Dreyfus to be innocent, but they cannot prevail upon themselves to acknowledge it. They woulJ be thankful if they were i sold them out to Spain for f 100,000 relieved of the whole matter, and the in cash. Court of Cassation has the power to ac- It knows him to be a brigand who da eommodate tketa. manded $7,000,000 lrom the Spanish At a democratic gathering In New York last week lo promote the Bryan boom the name of Aguinaldo produced greater enthusiasm than tliat of Bryan and now Billy's campaign managers am Instructing their spellbinders to Jrop Aguinaldo. Standing at Bryan does for the principle of pulling down tha Amerl can flag In favor of a horde of murder ous rebels, w hy not put Aguinaldo at head of (lie democratic ticket and be dona with it? It would be at least con sistent. Hardly had Mr. Bryan resigned his colonelcy in the volunteers and laid away his unbared sword before he jumped into the political arena to de nounce expansion as imperialism, and national authority as national despotism. From week to week and month to month ever since he has lost no opportunity to repeat Una misrepresentation. Ho has extolled the Filipinos as liberty-loving patriots. Ho has execrated the United States government as a despot in the Orient. As far as in him lies be la doing his utmost to discredit and distort the present effort of the United Statea gov ernment to suppress relation against its authority and to bring the rebels to justice. Datms has been convicted. It waa almost a foregone conclusion that a court martial would do tbia. The military power of Franco ia going a long way to keep the nation under its control. One of the ways to do this waa to predjudiie the people against Dreyfus because he is a Jew. Then a man accused by the general staff is not apt to bo cleared by subordinate officers. The military power is now afraid of a reaction and has rec ommended that Dreyfus be not again subjected to the indignity of having bia stripes cut from his clothing and bis sword broken before the army. As Dreyfus has served five years solitarv confinement this counts as double time and the result of the sentence will bo a dismissal from the army ' as a traitor. Dreyfus and bis friends will fight the re sult in every possible way but without much hope of bavins the result changed. The world believes this man innocent. He certainly waa not con vie tod on evi dence that would have been taken in anv other country. France is a country of queer doings in politics and the army, but this is a greater outrage than ever be fore perpetrated. France lias disgraced herself and does not deserve to be recognjied as a civilized nation. TIIK DKMOCKAT1C IIIOI.. Representative Democrats who ad dressed the Chicago platform meeting at Cooper Union, New York, last Monday night, extolled Fmilio Aguinaldo and his cause. They expressed sympathy with his revolt against, the authority of the United States. They held him up as one of the world's great patriots, a hero and an idol, and crowned their demon stration in his favor with three cheers for the rebel chief. The resolutions adopted by the meet ing declared that the war carried on by tho United States, whose sovereign authority over the Philippines is recog nized by all the nations of the earth, to restore good order and give good govern ment to the islands, "is a grossly im moral assault on American principles of government and a cruel and brutal at tempt to crush a weak people who are bravely contending for their natural ana God-given right of self-government," and condemned the action of President McKinley "in conducting the most cow ardly and unjustifiable war carried on in the history of ttie republic" not even excepting the war carried on by Presi dent Lincoln for the preservation of the Union. The speakers and resolutions also affirmed the principles contained in the Chicago platform of 181)0 and urged the "renornination and election of Wil liam Jennings Aryan, so that free gov ernment shall not perish from the face of the earth." The Democratic party thus, in a (fath ering which must be regarded as in every sense representative, has giyun free rein once more to its inborn sym pathy with treason and sedition, and has proclaimed Its adherence to the cause of a barbarian, Bimply because that har barian happens to be in revolt against the United Statea government. That party knows hirn to be a hoodler who, after inciting his countrymen to revolt in government aa ransom for the Ppaulsh. priaoneis In his power. It knows him to bo a pirate who seised, looted, and burned a Htacoable merchantman. It knows bint to lo a murderer who has killed Americana and loyal Filipinos, after decoying them Into his camp. It knows him to be a savage who has encouraged Ids followers to the mutila tion of the bodiea of dead American sol diers. It knows him to bo an Incendiary w ho sent emissaries Into Manila that they might burn and loot the town and mas sacre all the Americans, Kuropcant, and friendly natives whom they found there, It knows him to be an assassin who dispatched confederates to tho American camp with instructions to turn ujon those who had received them and stab them in the back. It knows him to be all this, and yet the Democratic party merely because the people of the United Statea elected that a Republican should lo Intrusted with the maintenance of this Nation's author ity at a time when Aguinaldo chose to defy that authority, sets up this creature aa tho idol that, tn the campaign of 1900, is to share its adoration, devotion, and honors, equally with William Jennings Bryan. So let it be. Chicago Inter Ocean. P V 11... Friday September 8. A. L. Mohler Is re-elected president of the O. it. A. X. The last witness ia heard in tho Drey fus court martial.
