PITCHFORK TILLMAN. Senator D. II. Tillman, of South Carolina, In a speech at Marinette, Wis., on Sunday evening last, boldly declared that he favored the lynching of negroes In tho South and else whoro In tho solution of tho social question In which colored men fig ured prominently In the press re ports as beasts Incapable of self-restraint. Tillman, who Is an uncapturcd out law himself, If wo may Judge him by tho words ho speaks In public places, obtains his Idea of tho cause of the frequent lynching of negroes In the South from tho Associated PrcsB re ports, which, those who are familiar with conditions In the Southland know, nro only nn truo as tho press reporters dare to muko them. Tako, for Instance, the report of tho burning of John Wesley Penning ton at tho stnko In Alabama on Wednesday hi tho most barbarotiB rnannor. Tho reader will no doubt nssumo that tho details nro faithful to fact and that negroes sanctioned tho savago outlawry to tho extent of aiding tho outlaws. If tho report bo only ns truo as tho nverngo account of such nffnlrs, It Is seven-eighths a llo. It Is wholly truo ns to tho barbecuo of tho negro. The press roportor did not dnro to toll tho truth. If ho did, his own life would bo Imperilled. If ho woro a colored roportor, ho, too, would bo burned nt the stnko; but n colored reporter could not bo Induced to transmit such n statoment to tho press of tho coun try any moro than n colored citizen could bo Induced to assist In tho bar barous execution of one of his rnce. Tlllmnn Is n (lre-oatlng fool, Ills public speeches nro nlwayB Incen diary. Ho possesses neither Judg ment nor conscience. Ho could not possibly nchlovo distinction otherwise unless It bo by election to public odl co In South Cnrollnn. It Is tho Tillman stripe of outlaws mid olllclnl brigands who mnko tho lynching of negroes, generally for tho most potty offence, In tho South, pos sible. It Is tho Tillman typo of frothy-tongued pltchforkorB In poll tics that embarrass and discourage tho early settlement of tho race ques tion In all Its phases. THE SHRIEVALTY CONTEST. Ily far tho most Interesting battle ground In tho political contest In Multnomah County during tho oncom ing campaign will bo , that upon which tho light for tho Bhorlff'B olllco will ba made. Tho shrievalty In this bailiwick Ib borne on tho highest bough of tho political plum tree. As mi "Influence" In local polltlcB It has no rival. Most of tho political chaff thrown into tho brcezo, to determine tho direction from which tho pnrty winds count, blows through tho shor ift'B olllco, while much of tho pnrty forecaster's report comes from thnt Hource, as well, A good sheriff Is an Important fac tor In tho ofllclal work of tho county mid state, Especially Is this truo of tho sheriff of Multnomah County. If his sorvlco bo honorably dono to tho satisfaction of thoso whoso servant ho Is, ho ought to havo a second torm nt least and ho genornlly gets it; nor Is there any logical reason -why ho ought not to have tho tnlrd mut fourth, and bo on, as long ne bo faithfully performs tho servlco re quired by tho responsibilities of his ofllco. It Ib not qulto clear, however, why n party which could not ngaln re-elect Kb Incumbent of that olllco should concede to that Incumbent tho right to iiiimo tho man whom It shall nom inate for election in his place, Tho Interests of the people, political ami lu view of the actual business feat ures of tho case, should, by all moans, bo most carefully considered. Sheriff Frttilor'B corps of efllclent deputies mid tho conditions under which thby have opontfod (many of them being ultra-political), together with tho principal's own watchful uess, havo given Multnomah County n fairly good sorvlco from that ofllco for several yours; but, Blnco It Is con ceded thnt ho could not again bo elected, It Is not clear that ho should enjoy tho privilege of naming tho juau whom his party shall nomltiute. The broader view to be taken of the matter Is that which should respect tho will of the people for it is said that the people have occasionally been known to assume the responsibility of electing the high sheriff, independ ent of the machine influences of that ofllce. Tho contest between certain depu ties in the sheriffs ofllco for the pri mary Influence of the shrievalty machlno may help largely to destroy the power of that combination In determining alono who shall bo at tho head of that important place dur ing tho succeeding term. To this as pect of the contest, in its earliest stngeB, may bo attributed tho unus ually largo number of nsplrants for Sheriff Frazlcr'B placo next year. Tho Influences thnt usually control tho mnchlno of tho sheriff's office in Important counties are, in this case, so confusedly Intorvelncd with those of othor political troubles ns to excite. the suspicion that tomo surprises await the result of this particular con test. A FRIENDLY LINE OR TWO, Since Mr. A. D. Grillln, chief in Tho Now Ago olllco, left tho city on a hurried tour of the principal cities of Eastern Oregon, tho following per sonal paragraphs liavo been received from friendly brothers of the press in that great region : "A. I). Grillln, owner and editor of The Now Age, spent Tuesday in Pen dleton, and will go on to towns along the line of the 0. R. it N. as far ns linker City. Mr. Orillin edits u paper thnt he endeavors to innko represen tative of tho best elements of tho col orcd people of the IWJia Northwest. Ho wields considerable Inlluenco among the members of his race. His field coinprii-c Oregon and the sur rounding states, in which tho colored population is us follows: Oregon, (l,(K)(); Washington S.fiOO; Cali fornia, 11,000; Idaho, (1A0; .Montana, 8, (KM) ; Ncavda. iifiO, or a population in all of .'12,-iOO. His ideas regarding tho future of thu Negro are broad. ''o are not longer asking for pity and commiseration, but are nttepmt ing to induce our jieoplo to tako their places in tho active alVnirs of tho couutiy in exactly tho samu relation ships as those held by tho wiiito peo ple. This in time wo hnpu will place tho Negro on an equality with the whites, although it may miuiroimuiy generations to do it.' Mr. Orillin attended tho national editorial in-go-oiution in HulYalo, and met there Hooker T. Washington, tho greatest Negro of modern times. For Mr. Washington Mr. Grillln has great ad miration, adjudging him worthy to lend tho Negro to higher ground than that occupied in past years." East Oregonian. "Editor A. I). Grillln, of Tho Now Age, a lively weekly paper published at Portland, was visiting friends and politicians in Raker yesterday. Grillln has u way of drawing out tho real sentiments and desires of political aspirants and is authority for tho idea that them will ho no dearth of candidates from Raker county for state olllces. Orillin is n political leador of thu colored people in tho Willamette, valley." Raker City Re publican. "Mr. A. D. Orillin. of Portland, spent last Thursday in tho oity. Mr. Grillln is editor of The New Age, the colored man's paper in Portland, and besides is unite a politician. Ho was tho llrst colored man to attend a Re publican stuto convention in Oiegon, and at tho distriot convention at Astoria in 1808 seconded thu nomina tion of Congressman Moody." The Dalles Times-Mountaineer. There Is perhaps Bomo consolation to thoso who think this nation is going to tho bowwowB becauso of tho national debt lu tho ofllclal atntoment of the debt of tho United States as compared with that of Franco. In Franco tho Interest charge on tho public debt Is 1200,000,000 a year, or ovor 5 por capita. In tho United States tho intorcst clmrgo Ib only 130,000,000 a yoar, or about 40 cents per capita. This 30,000,000 looka big, but this Is a big country, and haB much greater resources than Franco with which to pay Its debt. It is said that tho friends of Sona tor R. A. nooth, of Lano County, aro most enorgotlo in their advocacy of his nomination for tho Governorship. Senator llooth has not yet signified his willingness to allow his name to bo used, but ho may finally consent to bocomo a candidate. Senator llooth Is a prominent business man and a popular citizen, and It may bo that his namo aB a candidate for Governor would attract much moro than local attontlon, That Oregon Ib faring excellently at tho nuffalo Exposition Ib evldonced by reports from tho great Pan-Amorl-can show concerning lnqulrlos about this stato and particularly thoso por tions of tho commonwealth whoro greatest tnducomentB aro offered to newcomers. Our oxhlblta thoro aro In good hands, and thoy aro bearing abumlant fruit of good quality. CLIMATE AND FOREST; Secretary Wilson says thnt tho arid arjiis of tho West in increasing, and ho attributes the fact in part to "tho de struction of the forests at tho sources of tho streams." GifTord Pinchot, chief of tho forestry bureau of tho ag ricultural department, concurs in this theory us to the cause of tho gradual enlargement of tho dry bolt, and holds, also, that tho same cause is partly rcsponsilbo for tho hot spelts of tho Middle West. He adds: "Whcro hundreds of acres were for mcrly covered with pines and pre served the snows to supply tho streams in winter there is now n bleak prairie. Through Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and other states in that legion tho farms have been cleared of timber, and con ditions aro different from what they were a hundred years ago. Just how much cllcct this clearing process lias had upon tho tcnipcruturo mid climato of these states it is impossible to say, but wo believo that if thcro were moro forests mid timber land ox trcmo heat mid cold would bo avoided." The views of tho chief and tho sec retary will undoubtedly bo generally accepted as sound ; but they aro not new, mid tho wonder is that the American pcoplo and tho American government havo gone blindly on neglecting them, though they wero demonstrated truth boforo tho govern ment was established. In that curi ous, pleasing mid instructive old book, White's "Natural History of Solbomo," tho author wrote, under date of February 0, 1770: "That trees aro great promoters of lakes and rivors appears from a well known fact in North America, for since the woods mid forests havo been grubbed and cleared all bodies of water aro mucli (liniliuslicd, so that soino streams that were very considerable a century ago will not now drivo a com mon mill." It wilt thus bo seen that, for moro than one hundred years before our modern observers' hundred years of comparison, tho demonstration was being watched that trees aro great gatherers mid preservers of moisture, which is the fact that o plain's "nil other theories of tho ctfect upon cli mate. Tho timber hind frauds in this statu havo readied such a dogrco of perfection in the manner of their operation as to disoloso tho hand of those who are their chosen benefi ciaries. Tho time is ripo for tio full est investiagtion. It may lie said that tho result will not redound to tho credit of tho present laud olllco ad ministration, but why should tho pcoplo interest themselves in projects for individual aggrandizement when their own intersts aro involved in tho success of tho thief? Should ofll cials bo permitted to plunder the pub lic properties simply becauso they aro tho people's servants? It certainly will not redound to tho credit of tho Republican party if it fail to order an iinincdiato inquiry into tho man ner in which certain valuablo dis tricts of timber laud in this stato aro being "monopolized" under tho very noses of federal otlicials. Tho Salem Journal atTccts extraor dinary severity in its treatment of what it is pleased to torm "anti Geor" Republicans, in a recent discus sion of "Mitchell managers." "Out- of-Gear" Republicans wouldn't bo n bad name for many of thoso of that faction in which tho Journal is so soulfully concerned. Its statement that "breeoh-clout Republicans" will, in their opposition toGeer, drivo him from tho governor's chair to .a seat in tho United States senato is amusing, in that it thus exposes the governor's hand-so early in tho play; but its cry of "spoilsinongers, " in view of tho facts so patent to all and already a part of the political history of tho stato, does indeed cap tho climax- The annual preliminary report of Collector of Internal Kovcnuo Yerkea for tho fiscal year ended Juno 30, 1001, shows that receipts from all sources of internal rovenuo for tho year aggre gated 30J,871,tH5, mi increase of $11,555,5(11 over 1000. Western states and territories contributed as follows: California aiid'Novada, $1,- 580,478; Hawaii, $102,182; Montana, Idaho and Utah, $755,073; New Mex ico and Arizona, $100,809; Oregon Washington and Alasku, $1,223,013, Attorney C. A. Johns, of Raker City, disclaims authority for the an nouncement that he is a candidate for congress from his district, but from expressions heard from party friends in Mr. John's district Tho New Ago will not now accept that statement as final. Emilo Zola lias just refused an offer of 1100,000 for tlircl of his books. "I onco walked the streets of Paris in danger of starvation," he said, "but I am not starving now at tho ago of 01." lion. J. L. Kupd, u leading attor ney of Raker City, is prominently mentioned as a candidate for congress from Congressman Moody's district. HUNTING FOR A BONANZA. Million Delnsr Bunk In Benrch for the Cripple Creek Mother Lode. XV. S. Stratton, who attained to fame as the owner of the celebrated In dependence inlno at Cripple Creek, which ho discovered and developed, from which he took millions, and which he Anally sold for $11,000,000 In cash, Is now at work on a project at Crlpplo Creek which, If successful, will mako him the richest man In the world. He Is hunting for the mother lode, from which all tho millions of gold that have been taken out of the Crlp plo Creek district havo come. If he finds It, the word millions will be lu adequuto to describe his wealth, and nothing less than billions, and possi bly even a greater term, will do to de scribe his treasure. Mr. Sirntton's theory Is thnt all the veins of gold that imderllo Crlpplo Creek, and which constitute tho great mines from which over 100 millions In gold have been taken In a few years, convergo toward one point. This the ory is borne out by the maps of tho district, which show a general dip or trend of the veins of gold toward a common center. Mr. Stratton has lo cated tho spot where these veins should' meet, mid has Ivontrlit all tho land over and about it. 000 acres In all. Now ho has a big force of men IICII at work sinking shafts, and Is spend from ?35, 000 to $50,000 a month on this work. S. BTRAITOX. It Is a fact beyond dispute, as all the mining men of Cripple Crook know, that practically nil tho big veins of the Crlpplo Crock district run Into Mr. Stratton's territory. Tho Indications are that many of these veins couvcrgo to a common point within his ground. This would Indicate that the great mother vein, the center from which the great veins and oro shoots of tho dis trict radiate, Is directly under the ground owned by Mr. Stratton. From tho shafts being sunk good oro Is being taken, the different veins being followed up as they show them selves. Japan's First Bleeping Car. In spite of Its reputation as tho most enterprising and progressive of Eastern nations, Japan has been entirely with out sleeping cars until the last few months. Their In troduction Into the land of the Mikado Is duo to II. Iwa rnkl, the superin tendent of the San go Railway at Kobe. Mr. Iwasa kl has traveled in r. iwAiAKt, America, and from the sleeping cart In common use hero be 'drew the plana for the four cars which are all that are at present running In Japan. 8lnco these pioneer cars were put Into service they bare been at all times profitable and popular, so much to that there Is a loud demand that all Japanese roads should be equipped In the samo way. Mr, Iwasakl has slight ly modified the plan of the usual Amer Icau sleeper. Each of his four cars con tains, for Instance, a little dining-room, seating eight, In which meals are served at all hours of the day or night. In Interior finish the Japanese cars are said to fairly outdo the barbaric and hideous splendor of their American prototypes. In one way they are a great Improvement over anything In this country, In that each upper berth contains wlndowaVwblch admit air and keep out dust v An Awlul Kioker.
