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,

of internal rovenuo for tho year aggre

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

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
