NEGI10I3S AND Mil. YOUNG. Edward Everett Young, proprietor of the Uakcr City Hopubllcnn, which, by the wny, was forced this week to bub pond ItH dally Ibhuo, mnde, a few days ngo, an ntttieK upon ino negro race that cumo with 111 Brace from a man whoso party, the party that will bIvc Mr. Yoiiiib whatever political promo tion or prominence ho will ever re colve nnd for political favoru ho Is lUDllltlOUH UWCfl ItB BUCCCBB to tllO Negro race. Except for the vote of Negroes the Itcpnhllcan party could not have won the National election of 1890, not to mention otherH, and what has been tho NegrocB' reward? To Hay tho least of It, coiiBlderliiB their mtmhorH and Holldlty, politi cally, they have been nhabblly treated, nnd now Edward Everett Youns rises to remark, In BtibBtancc, that tho Negro Ir out of place If he aspires and BtrlvcH for educational and nodal equality. Mr. Youiib HayH that: "NeBroeB do not appreciate tho oh Jecttonablo clement In association their color and Htato of mental ad vancement hac for tho whites, and aro prono to press ror Kb romovni. They fall to comprehend the portent of racial Imcompatlblllty, becausu thoy do not fool It, and with the true logic of tho tailless fox, fall to see how It Is possible for people to bo bo unjust ns to harbor a prejudice against u lower belriB. This Is simply another feature of raco conflict that Is not likely to end while the two different pooplcB aro thrown In contact. Can caHlitau will not submit to Negro dominance." To say tho least of It, this Is a vory narrow view. NoBros aro not to blamo for tholr race, nor for their color, nor are thoy iiHhnmott of either. Thoy aro ashamed, rather, of tho lawB nnd customs that for generations and ngen kept thorn In subjection, bond nRo and Ignorance. They hcoIc better things, more light, equal advantages nnd opportunities. Thoy do not seok, na n rulo, to crowd In socially or politi cally whero thoy aro not wanted; hut thoy do seek, nay, thoy demand, fair and Just recognition; and they are naturally nnd proporly rosontful toward n man or paper that, Hooking nnd gaining his mid ItH Hiippott chiefly from tho party thnt ho NogrooB havo repeatedly put nnd kopt In power, thus Indicate ItH racial preju dice) nnd ItH desire that tho Negroos should bo forever knpt undor tho high heels of tho swelling fashionable Amorlcnn aristocracy of wenlth. Mr. Young, If IiIh ambition for a nomina tion for n State ofllco Hhould bo ioa llzcd, would much desire nnd expect tho votn of nil tho NegrooH of tho Statu; ho would ttccopt them nH n mat ter of courHo, nlinost; but hIiico thoy aro thtiH fairly forewurnod of bis nnr row racial preJudlcoH ho might be Homewhat disappointed In the result. Tho Negro raco Is making no apology for Uh existence, nor for Itn oxlstonco In Ibis country. Hut It might linvo nn apology to make to It milf If It helped Mr. Young to n lucra tive olllce. THE (lUllHUNATOUIAIi TION. NOMINA- Tho Inconsistency In tho nomination of Moody for Congress nnd Furnish for Oovornor, If tho conventions Hhould seo lit to mnko thoHo nomina tions. Ih fanciful rnthor than real. Fur ono thing, thoHo nominations would i;o far to effect tho desirable hariuonlzntlou spoken of olnowhoro. Nor would thoy bo giving KaBtorn OroRon inoro than Uh Just deserts. That portion of tho State desorves more recognition than It has bad. Multnomah County,' so far as now ap pears, has no candidate for olthor Congressman or Oovornor. It has tho two United Stntea Senators, who should bo rotalned In tholr places, whero after next winter, If Mr. Simon should ho returned, they would work In hnrmony and very effectively for tho Interests of Oregon, Tho Coast will bo represented by tho rouomtiin tlon, very likely, of Mr. Dunbar, and Southern Oregon by tho ronomlnntlon of Mr, Moore, who la a worthy man und deserving of retention In ofllco. Then If Mr. Furnish, ns now appears probable, should como to tho conven tion with n strong support from East ern Oregon, thero la no apparent rea son why Multnomah County should not aid his laudable ambition nnd glvo him the nomination for Oovornor. It Is nn undoubtod fact that tho do slmblo harmonlxntlon of tho Repub lican party can not bo brought nbout by tho ronomlnntlon of Oovornor Oeer. This Is a fact that might ns well bo recognlied und ncknowlodgod In ad vance. Tho Qovornor'a veto of tho Portland charter bill, whether done conscientiously nnd from tho best of motives or not, aroused In this city a great wnve of opposition, amounting,! almost, to popdlar Indignation, thnt If ho Hhould be renominated would very likely swoop tho strong and rfoptilar Democrat, District Attorney Chamberlain, Into the gubernatorial chnlr. Hence It Is certainly Bood poli tics for tho Republican pnrty to seek n new candidate for tho ofllco of Gov ernor, nnd Eastern Oregon Is not un reasonable In Its plea that tills ofllco Bo to that part of the State. LET THERE DE HARMONY. The New Age desires tho success of the Republlcnn pnrty. It mny hnvo criticisms of thnt party to make, at times, but It realizes that Republican bucccbs Is best for the Negro raco and for the country. Oregon Is a strongly Republican State, but there Is ground for apprehension that tho factional fight In tho Republican pnrty In this State, a fight centering hero In Portland, will turn tho State over to tho Democrats, at least In part, next June. Manifestly, and clearly the way to avoid this dis astrous result is for the Republican party to quit pulling npnrt, and to pull together; to effect, If possible, n tolerable harmonization of contend ing clement. Ib It not true thnt both sides nre entitled to recognition and tho rewards of political success? Might It not bo well for each Bide to yield somowhat to tho other, and for tho selection of such men, representa tives of both factions, ns will conduco to thnt result? Tho Now Ago, In sug gesting this policy, doprocatcB tho vendetta spirit too much manifested In certain quarters. It won't do to merely talk harmony, but there must bo real, positive and perhaps some what Bolf-sacrlflclng efforta In thnt di rection. NEGROES AT WEST POINT An edltorlnl writer In tho Orcgonlnn, who docB not In this Instance fairly roprcBcnt the usually hioad and cor rect vIowh of that great newspaper, npproves tho utterances of n Ronton paper to the effect that Negroes oi account of their raco and color, should , not bo ndmitted to West Point. It sayB It Is "not wlso " for a colored boy to seek to gain n military educn tlon there. Ih this not n narrow view? And Hhould thin color-lino prejudice not bo reprehended, rather than en couraged by such groat mouldois of public opinion uh the Orcgonlnn? Hnvo not tho negrooB made BoldlorB, In nil our wnrs, oqunl to any? Were not tho Nogto reglmontB nmong tho bravest nnd most faithful In the closi Ing yenrH of tho grent Civil war? And when n Now York whlto regi ment laid down on San Juan hill nnd refused to .mnrch forward Into tho plnco of danger nnd death, was It not n Negro regiment that pressed for wnrd over tho rccrennt bodies nnd holped Teddy win the glorious victory? Why, nftor Biich evidences of courage, vnlor, patriotism and ef ficiency, Hhould not n Negro receive n military education equally with whlto boys? OOOD MAN VOH SIlHItllV. Among tho men spoken of to suc ceed Sheriff Frnzler, who Is serving his third tnrm nnd may not desire lo continue In olllco longer, the o'io most frequently nnd favorably men tioned Is Mr. W. H. Stcolo, present County Road Supervisor. Mr. Steolo would niako an exceptionally stinnc candidate, and n most cfllclent Sheriff If he should yield to the Importunities of IiIh friends and mnko tin effoit to sectiro tho nnnilnntlon. Ho sorvod soveral terms satisfactorily ns a County Commissioner nnd on being legislated out of offco wns nppolntod County Road Superintendent nnd Urldgo Master, which position ho has tilled with cnorgy nnd nblllty, thus being of grent service to tho County, Mr. Steolo Ih a fnrmor, living In tho country when nt home, and will bo especially strong among tho country people, but his olllclal duties hnvo mndo him well and favorably known .. iumii iwao. wnero no woum pou nvtlio Mil of tlio hlclra of humiw mill olli huge a vote as any of Its resldonts. ' t.r animals and tho manipulation of Mr. Stoolo Is u mnn of exceptional their carcasses along with the garbage energy nnd exocutlvo nblllty, and If ho should bocomo Sheriff thero would bo no doubt that tho duties of tho ofllco would bo thoroughly performed. A HAD MISTAKE. Governor fleer nnd his compatriots on tho School Lund Itonrk acknow ledge thnt they mado n mistake In loaning $2500 of tho State's school funds on n piece of land supposed to contain 43,2s ucroa, whereas It con tained 12 acres less than this, Tho Governor says tho security Is yet good, but this Is doubted by some. At nil ovonts, tho transaction Bhows an In-1 excusable carelessness In tho bnnd-.""' ling of the school funds, of which tho Stnto has already suffered quite sudlclont losses. A Governor, elected nnd paid by tho people to attend to their business, cannot be excused for tanking such mistakes. If ho makes one, ho Is likely to mnko others, There Is, ludced, no excuse whatever for n public oinclftl making any "mistake" with regard to tho sacred school funds. If ho makes such a mistake, he should bo willing to ncknowlcdgo that ho is not competent to havo chnrgo of these funds. CONGRESSMAN MOODY. A man who has served two terms in Congress Is In n better position to Bcrvc tho people of his district thau nny new mnn can possibly place him self. Mr. Moody Iiiib made a good record. Ho has been attentive, carc- ful, practical nnd Ib becoming Inllu- cntlnl. It would bo a great mistake to change him for n new man, even If tho new mnn were his equal or Bllghtly his superior In ability which would probably not be tho case. Moody ought to bo returned to Con greBB, nnd from the New Age's nil vices from Enstorn Oregon, thcro Is little doubt of his success In the con vention. Tho Now Ago la In receipt of the seml-nnnunl exhibit of tho Auditor of Multnomnh County, Mr. W. II. Pope who makes a good showing .of the County's finances nnd shows thnt he Ib n capable and rollnble officer In that position. Everything Is kept m tho most accurate and approved shape bo that tho people can see nt a glance Just how It stands. Tho Now Ago Is pleased to notice thnt so mnny colored voters nre reg istering nnd tnklng nn Interest In poli tics. It hopes thnt ovory Negro voter will register, nnd do so soon. There Is no ubo In putting off mich n duly. Get your nnmes on tho register and bo propnred to vote. COST OF A ROYAL KITCHEN. immense Rum H petit liy the Hrltlfth Hnvereljzn Kvery Ycnr. It Is said that King Edward of Great Hrltnln proposes to economize n little In Ills household expenses mid will make u raid upon the costly royal kitchens at his palnces. The one nt Windsor Is by no means the most cost ly. Nevertheless It contains nearly 10,000 worth of copper und ?a,tOU worth of silver nnd silver-plated then alls. Gcorgo III. expended $:t0.(,0') upon the fittings, which nre mostly of black oak, and apart from their histo rical Interest have greatly decreasod In value. Soon uftcr his nccesslon to tho throne the Cznr laid out -100.000 In remodel ing and furnishing the Imperial kitch ens nt tho Winter palace. St. Peters burg. All the conking utensils are ot solid silver nnd Include forty stowlti pans, none of which could bo pur chased under $200 a piece. The spice boxes nre of solid gold, en graved with tho Imperial arms, nnd tho ranges and ovens are edged with silver. Tho actual cost of building tho kitchen was $120,000, tho purest black mnrblo being used throughout, and tbo decorations were responslblo for nn outlay of ?2.".00O. Among tho cooking utensils shou'd be mentioned .'1,000 silver spoons und a gold gridiron that belonged to tbo grent Catherine. The chief cook drawn u salary of $ 10,000 nyear. nn.l ho Inn subordinates In receipt of salarloi ranging between $T,U00 und $".."00, to nny nothing of hundreds of supcrnu niornrlos. Altogether the Czar's kitch en expends nbout $000,000 per annum. "Money ."Made in fturlmgo. A problem thnt bus engaged tho at tention of the legislative bodies of most American cities Is what to do with the garbugot-how to get rid of It at tho least expense to the public. The city ol Washington so disposes of Its gar bilge that a prnllt Is got out of It, while niot other Anietlcnii cities being less carefully governed bao to pay large ly for Its removal. Thero Is a contiact with a company which collects ihe gar bage and disposes of It. The gnrlmgo Is kept separate from usbes and other refuse. In Iron tanks It Is taken by rail thirty miles down tho Potomac to tho reduction works. Here It Is sorted. Tin cans, bottles, etc, aro removed. The rest Is placed In n close Iron eei und subjected to at cum pressure, nfter which It Is pumped Into tanks and al- luwed to settlo. Oils and fats rise to (he surface, and, being skimmed off. aro sold to soap-makers. Under pres sure more oil Is obtained, to go tho same way. Tho caked garbage, after pressure, Is pulverized and sold for fer tilizer. Incidental protits arise from 'the horse hides make good russet leather. A good monthly protlt Is said to bo realized. KuIiucn oi, Fnnintis Cave Every reader of history will recall tho story of the cave constructed by Ulouy Bins, tyrant of Syracuse, as a prison, I which was Ingeniously shaped like the human ear so that even the whispers of the prisoners could be heard. A trav eler who visited the cave tells a won-1 derful story of some experiments In acoustics that he made there. I For example, standing nt the en-1 ttance, he struck the edge of a sheet of letter paper lightly with his linger three times, when there came from within K er three heavy blows, as lou.l and resonant ns though they hud been made with a sledge hammer on the roof of a house of Iron, lie then rattled the sheet of paper lightly and that feeble sound Increased a mllllonfold, rever berating through the cave like the roar and crash of thunder. When he spoke or whlspeied every note was repeated as If a thousand steutors were luslde and calling to him. HE WAS GETTING POSTED. Wanted to I.cnrn Bonicthtna About tho HtlrrliiK Mfc of tho Weat. He had the look of a man who would not give another man n fair show, and It was only n minute after he sat down In the Bent beside the cowboy that his nature was fully exposed.

I was milking my way around " "And Is It true about there being so mapy rattlesnakes out there?" cut In the'questloiier. "There's rattlesnakes, of course," re plied the cowboy after u puzzled look nt the other, "nnd inehhe they are as thick as the papers tell of. Yes. I've seen a heap of 'em myself.

Interrupted the listener. "Yes. 1 wns," slowly replied tho cow boy.pvho. says the Detroit Eree Press, seemed to be somewhat out of sorts. 'IWhh It n big herd?" "About 10.000 steers." "And of course you were trodden Into a shapeless, lifeless muss?" "Of course." "That will do thanks. I've always had considerable curiosity about the West, and I thought I'd post up a lit tle.
