It is time for intelligent voters to ho
gin to learn MHiiethiiur nhout the ikhuck
of tlie next local campaign.
Presently the county and city com
mittveo will begin to talk. They'll
have to. YotorH are already becoming
jinxioiiH.
Tho Democrata declare that their
party lmiKt have a daily nownpiiper.
lint thero'H a vaHt dllTereneo between
ronfcHHing tho need and supplying it.
The local Hepuhlican olub.s have be
gun to reshape and perfect their organ
izatiotiH and have already succeeded in
exciting muiiu enthusiasm in the pre
liminary work of tho impending cam
paign. The Sunday Welcome, tho "old re
liable" Mutational newspaper of the
:ity, issued two double editions during
tho holidays, the last one being printed
in green to show, perhaps, that it is
not a yellow journal
considering tho federal Constitution
and statutes and tho decisions of tho
fcdoral appellant courts predicated
thereon; tho Constitution, statutes and
decisions of tho court of appeals in the
soveral states, territories and tho Dis
trict of Columbia bearing upon tho
legal status of tho Negro of this coun
try and tho administration of tho laws,
both state and federal courts, in all
proceedings in which tho Negro is a
party.
Ofllecrs were chosen as follows: K.
M. Hewlett, president; V. C. Martin,
first vico-presldcnt; T. L. Jones, second
vlco-presidont; P. W. Frlsby, secre
tary; Royal A. Hughes, treasurer.
Kxocutivo committee: W. Calvin
Chaso, W. C. Martin, Royal A. Hughes
William L. Pollard, L. M. King and
Seipio linker.
IIOMK DEMOCRACY.
white Democrats have been voting tho
Republican ticket nnd many of tiiom
have como to stay. Accordingly Tam
many Is trying to supply their places
by hero and there putting a colored
man on tho payroll of tho city. That
is tho explanation of tho appointment
by tho district attorney, nnd of tho
unquestionable fact that tho "Demo
cratic" Negro has become an actual
personage.
Tho colored voters of Portland aro
not less nitvo in tho matter of organiz
ing for tho forthcoming city and county
control than ate other elements, for
they have reason tobolievo that there'll
Iki a hot time in tho old town before
tho middle of ,lunu next.
Tho many friends of Professor A. P.
Armstrong, the popular county super
intendent of schools, would like to see
him retained in this Important olllce.
Mr. Armstrong has made a most excel
lent record and Is jKipnlurly reforred to
iih tho best Kchool superintendent that
Multnomah county has over had.
Tho Christmas issue of tho Kvenlng
Telegram was, in truth, a work of art.
It waH nothing less than a maguilleent
number, both in typo and illustrations.
Tho presswork was more than usually
good; audits I (18 columns were replete
with entertaining matter, set off well
by an excellent display of artistically
composed advertisements.
Local Democracy is entirely too
democratic; so much so, in fact, that
thoro is not enough of it loft, of tho
partisan kind, to offect an organization.
Strenuous effort was made recently to
paste tho scattered fragments togothor
and call it re-organization; but, when
the effeminate sandhedrlms stooncd
bick for a clear and Impartial survoy
of tho product, they quickly pro
nounced It much less than a work of
art. It was a crude cartoon, with Dr.
Wells as a central figure
There is current talk of another
effort. Each faction will bo given
consideration in tho platform of reor
ganization. It will bo a sort of crazy
quilt affair. This will servo only to
make now factions, for Democrats aro
not a unit on anything, nowadays.
All in all, our homo Democracy ap
pears to bo in a pitiable plight. It
would bo better, in ono respect, for tho
local public if it wero not so much so.
(iovijuNou ;hi:us kvasion.
The Storey-Long contest promises to
bo a long story. Tho personal differ
!!U'oh between thcM) olllcials have taken
on the ollleial pluiMi, much to tho (lis
credit of the city which they represent.
City Attorney Long has the advan
tage of Mayor Storey In that ho Is a
lawyer. The mayor has tho advan
tage of the city attorney in that he pos
sesses tho veto power. The city coun
cil enjoys a certain degree of advantage
over both. The "good work" is likely
to go on for some time yet.
Tho apprehension of murderer Hay
wood, in this city, tho other day, by
detectives Foul and Cordauo was a
clover bit of work on the part of tho
local sleuths. Haywood is a criminal
of a very bad class. He is wanted in
Utah for the cold-blooded murder of a
ntoro-keeper whom ho killed lor his
money. For eight months the authori
ties have been searching for him. Hut
it was left for the Portland detectives
(iovernor T. T. (.leer's conduct in
tho Plummer case, wherein ho was
ch argod by tho latter with having ac
cepted a bribe for an auto-dated pledge
for political olllce, Is shamefully dis
graceful to tho state of Oregon.
Tho people of this state have a per
fect right to know tho truth of this
matter. Through tho public press they
demanuded an explanation. Mr. (leer
has rescinded by simply saying, in
country rchool boy fashion:
"You're anothorl"
Such a response reflects discredit on
tho executive olllce of this great state.
Tho Oregon publio dosorves a greater
degree of respect from tho governor.
If political corruption is to bo con
tinued in this state, without let or
hindrance, and T. T. (I cor is to bo ono
of the chiefs in it, why does ho not say
in plain Kuglish:
"Tho publio be d dl"
Such courage might elicit a degree of
admiration, however much the people
may hold in contempt tho ollleial who
displays it; but, of all tho cowards in
tho world, isipular hatred is extended
llrst to tho publio ollleial who volun
tarily participates in corruption and
then attempts to cloak his character in
tho gauze of tho vain claim that "I am
holier than thou I"
(Iovernor (Jeer's explanation is very
incomplete; and no ono but the gov
ernor can complete it.
AT CORDRAYS NEXT WEEK.
A lllff UilR-Tlnm Fi-HMt.
What is positively tho largest organi
zation of colored artlfts that havo yet
visited tho coast will bo seen at Cor
dray's next week, when tho latest rag
time musical farco-comedy and traves
ty, "Tho Hottest Coon in Dixio," .will
bo presented for tho first timo in Port
land. Tho company numbers nearly
10 of tho leading colored singers,
comedians and specialty performers in
this country, including the original
famous "Clorindy" chorus, that visited
tho coast for two weeks last Fobmary,
and which enjoys tho distinction of be
ing tho only colored organization of
singers that has appeared at tho fash
ionable New York Casino, where
"Clorindy" was quito tho fad for 10
consecutlvo weeks. All tho original
music, etc., of this popular skit has
been retained in "Tho Hottest Coon in
Dixio," with mnny more recent and
popular "coon" wolodics and special
ties added. In fact.no less than a scoro
of these catchv rag-tlmo hits aro inter
spersed throughout tho performance.
It is in thesO selections that this match
less chorus is heard to best advantage,
and for volume, sweetness of voico and
harmony It is claimed that this body
of colored songstors havo never beon
excelled. Iho engagement will open
Sunday.
I'li'tity of NiipplloH at Duwhoii,
D. W. llul look, lately arrived from
Dawson, said to an Alaskan ronortor:
"Dawson is supplied with overything
needed there for tho winter. Tho re
inirt as to a great shortage of oats is
not true. Thoro Is plenty of oa.ts along
tho rivor and in Dawson to supply tho
interior. When wo got away from
Dawson, November 7, oats wero soil
ing for 22 cents a pound and hay at
15 cents. Last winter oats went to -1U
and lf conts, and hay to JIG to fiO cents.
Tobacco sells in Dawson today for $1
to .fl.LTi a iKiund, less than it brings in
Uenuott. Tho Honnott price Is if 1.C0 a
ixmnil. Flour that sold for .$8 in Daw
son a year ago is worth only .fl.75
there today. There will bo plenty of
beef in Dawson throughout the whiter.
Diunbolton had four scows loaded with
beef on tho way in, ono of which Is at
Selkirk and ono at Stewart river. I do
not know whoro tho others are. Dum
bolton will take tho meat through to
Dawson over tho ico after the river
freezes. MoDougall Us Hums havo 80
tons below Selkirk and will take it in
over the ico. Tho lalor market of
Dawson is glutted. There wore 1,000
to 1,500 idle men in the town when I
left, and more wero rushing in from up
tho river."
AtlliiM Kiit urn Output.
Charles Christopher, who has nego
tiated n.oro largo Atlin mining deals
than any other man in tho country dur
ing uiu season receniiy closed, is au
thority for tho statement that thoro
will bo no less than half a dozen largo
hydraulic plants put In operation in
Atlin with tho opening of spring. He
says the output of gold in that country
w ill exceed .15,000,000. The gold com
missioner collected royalty on about
$700,000 this summer, but he failed to
collect on more than half the output.
There was at least $1,500,000 taken
tint of the Atlin gold Holds this year,
and next year tho output will oxood
.T.i(uiiw,uuu. kust summer (lie gieat
majority of the miners did not get to
work before August I, and they all
worked small claims and handled' most
of tho dirt with shovels. Next year
they will handle it by the hydraulic
process.

Colonel Asa H. (iardlnur, tho Demo

As a matter of fact Tammany hall

to detach as many of these colored
