TIIK WAY TO WIN.
Our great ami eHtcentctl joiiriiiilfotlc
friend the Oregon inn Iiiih iiiHliutatcd on
fovorul occa-loiiH lately that it wan pre
paring to turn itn powerful huttcrluH on
Oregon'H M-nior Fenator. It Iium pub
llrihed Hveral rather eeiiHorloiiH or mr
cmitiu 'Vqtilbt" about him, one of
which wiih in connection with aeouipll
montto Henutor Mitchell, tliat "Fenator
Himon hatl made no lilt." Hh inein
ory Ih chert, for it was not many
itifjtitliH ago that it complimented Hena
tor Himon very utrongly on IiIh poHltion
in the matter of trade with the Philip
pluuH. On other occanloiiH it Iiiih iiIfo
acknowletlgcd the exceptional abilities
ami exceedingly valuable purvicex of
the man whom It mumH now Home
what inclined to Hiieur at. Did the
Oregon inn uphold the gold Htaudard
alone In Oregon? Were not the rcupon
rtlblo, effective ami potent leaderH of the
Republican party, or hoiiiu of tliem,
neccHHary to thin great work? Ami
who among our political leadern did or
could do ho much iih Mr. Simon then?
In that great crucial tcHt, more import
ant, iih the Oregonian will acknowledge,
than all elm, ditl he ever falter, or
straddle, or become doubtful? No,
everybody know junt where he Htowl,
and that, win or lone, Hlnk or hwIiii, he
Htood there undaunted, and iih impreg
nable an thu rock of Gibraltar. Where
in that itIhIh wiih our genial and popu
lar friend, the junior nenator from Ore
gon? Whore wiih our able and pleiiHiint
friend, thu Republican leader from
ClatHop? And othern, too numerouH to
mention? Shall all thiH be ho hooii
forgotten? ThiH oxhlhitH the Htcadfant,
well-grounded, Indomitable character
of the man who in now nerving IiIh flrnt
term in the Minitto.
Ami decH any ono doubt IiIh devotion
to Oregon and Hh interentH? Here lie
Iiiih lived all bin life. Here Ih IiIh prop
erty; here are IiIh frlentln; here all IiIh
IiiihIiichh relatloiiH and InterentH. What
particular occiihIoii Ih there to annul!
him new?
Why, the old factional light Ih on
again, and our rgeatly admired and re
upected friend thu Oregonian hIiowh
nigiiH of Hopping over from one faction
to tho other. Hut why not give both
factlonn fair representation, eiunl lion
orii; cry tpiltH, and all pull together
from thiH on for thu advancement of
Oregon and tho huccchh of thu Republi
can party? Ih there any occhhIoh to
carry on thiH light to tho vendettu Htagu?
Mr. Mitchell Ih In thu Houato for tho
next five yearn. Many of IiIh friondH
are in olllce. They have won notable
Mini, for fair men, milllelont victories.
What mow do they want? Whnt more
could they reawtnubly link?
Thu New Age Ih a political paper am)
a Republican paiur. It refuneH to Im a
factional paper, It Iiiih nothing to my
agaiiiHt Mr. Mitchell ami IiIh itdherentH,
iinlcHH they iiiHint upon not only the
fair npollH of victory but revenge and a
continuation of utrlfo that nuiHt keep
the Republican party disrupted, and
widen the breach in it. Thu Now Ago
Ih not championing Mr. Simon particu
larly an an individual; neither he nor
bin (rieiidn have HiiggoHted a word or an
idea of this article; but he U in a cer
tain ponttlon, and he Imh boon an un
donbtiHl ami almost Invariably a mic
rcHHful Republican leader hero' for tho
pant -0 yearn; and ho dioultl receive
tho coiiHlderatlon to which tluwo facts
fairly entitle him.
Lot both factloiiH bo represented in
thu Henate; then, lioforo the term of
either (senator expiren tlimi auimoHltles
will dinapiHiar and the breach lx filled
in, through attention to and labor in
wider, more general and mow import
ant affairs. Them should aloo U a
wplrit of harmony, of give us well as
take, In nomlniitioiiH for conruM nncl
Htatu ofllcurn, nnd all along the lint.
This Ih certainly the pritctlcitl path to
Kupubliciiii hiiccwh, ami to tliu lwnt re
HUltH for the state and t'ity of Midi mil-cuhh.
KASTKKN OKKGON'S CAN 1)1 DAT K.
The Favorite Son of the Inland Empire
Ih Hon. W. J. Furnish.
The man on whom tlie active electors
of the Inland Kmpire are a unit for
governor Ih Hon. W. J. Furnish, of
Umatilla county. On him they have
agreed. He Iiiih yielded to their im
portunities to become their candidate
and there is now little doubt that he
will be their standard-bearer.
Looking over the Held for a more
available candidate for tho state's ex
ecutive olllce the astute politicians of
Western Oregon have failed so far to
locate him; ami their subsequent ac
(inieM'cnco in that suggestion of East
ern Oregon simplified the situation.
.Mr. Furnish will he thu candidate and
he will win.
Thus the opening problem of what
promises to bo a remarkable campaign
lias been practically solved in a most
friendly way among the leaders of the
dominant party in the state. The fact
that Mr. Furnish will enter the state
convention with the solid support of
the counties east of the mountains has
helped to clear the horizon with respect
to other nominations. Eastern Oregon
Ih already congratulating itself on this
assurance.
Mr. F'urnisli lacks only three years of
Dcmg a iiauvo wregonian. All tlio
mature years of his life have been spent
In the development of important indus
trial and commercial conditions of
tlio turritory east of the mountains with
which liu Ih now so lumpily Identified.
He is an ideal candidate for governor
He possesses those peculiar (nullifica
tions for the successful discharge of tlio
duties of that olllce and he possesses
those quulltioH that attract to him the
support of those who know him well,
no mutter what his claim for favor.
He has never been defeated for any
public place ho ever sought which
suggests a reminiscence or two of
special interest in this discussion.
In 1880, at the age of LM, Mr. Fur
nish wiih appointed deputy United
StatcH marshal, with headquarters at
Pendleton, which olllce he held for
three year. In 181)0 he was elected
sheriff of Umatilla county, and was re
elected two yearn later, each time by a
very handsome majority. The county
never had r, better sheriff. He wiih tlio
youngest sheriff in the West and. the
history of the decadence of the reign of
tlio cattle thieves ami other range out
laws wiih given ofllcial substance by
the hand of Hilly Furnish, thu sheriff
who routed them and destroyed their
criminal trade.
In 18)10 Mr. Furnish wiih elected
mayor of Pendleton and re-elected for n
second term by an overwhelming ma
jority. In 1000 he was made a presi
doutiul elector for William McKiuIey.
In 1803 ho became manager and
cashier of tho Pondloton Savings Rank,
then roorganlml and Htrongthened, and
in 1800, as a result of IiIh valuable serv
ice In directing tho affairs of that Insti
tution, ho was made tho president of
tlio bank, which ofllco ho still holds.
The great success of that institution,
the leading bank of thu Inland Kmpire,
Ih duo to tho untiring energy and pru
dent management of W. J. Furnish.
Ho has long Ir'cii regarded as ono of
thu leading business spirits and finan
ciers of the state. IHh work of devel
opment Ih unceaning and always profit
able. He never doon thlngn by halves.
Ho pursues a carefully arranged syntem
In everything lie does. His plans are
made invariably with a view to success
and thu success he enjoys now is tho
result of that careful, conscientious
method of development which giveH
generous profit to others.
It will bo so in Mr, Kurnish'H candi
dacy for and election to tho ofllco of
governor. The people of tho state will
profit by his business mothmls and his
nomination and election will prove to
lie no mistake on tho part of tho peoplo
of Oregon. Thoy havo confidence in
bin integrity. No man in the state, it
is safe to say, possesses that confidence
in thu same degree, and no man in tho
state is better able to meet the new
conditions which the next governor of
Oregon will havo to confront.
FATUOUS OPPOSITION.
A man who has succeeded in politics
Ih almost invariably tho object of less
ablo.worthy oml successful men's envy.
Ah a rule, if a man succeeds in climb
ing from obscurity to prominence, from
t lie bottom to tho top or near tho top
of the ladder of political preferment, ho
is in tho main worthy of his success.
ThotiO remarks havo special application
just now to tho senior United States
bonator from Oregon,
To suy that ho
Iiiih succeeded for a quarter of a cen
tury in politics in tliis city and Btate
without deserving to do so Ih to accuse
and stultify tlio peoplo who repeatedly
and continuously raised him to emin
ence among them. Ho has been n
"boss," as some envious critics allege,
to just about the extent and in thu
sense, speaking broadly, jtlnlt the Jte
publican voters needed and desired a
boss. Rattles would never bo won if
all the soldiers engaged, or oven many
of them, were generals.
Mr. Simon now Iiiih tlio great ad
vantage of having 'rved part of a term
in the senate. That he in a careful,
painstaking, observant, Industrious and
shrewd legislator nobody doubts; that
he is devoted to the best interests of
Oregon and of Portland all fairly im
partial people will concede. That he
should desire a re-election and bo given
an opportunity better to servo'tlio jieo
ple of the state is not only naturaj but
laudable.
It is chiefly because of these, facts
that it Ih practically conceded by the
spokesmen for the opposition to Mr.
Simon that thu Republican party in
this county will show itself favorable to
the senator In the approaching primar
ies and comention. It is a usual trick
for tlie defeated side to accuse tlio victors
of unfairness, hut to do this beforo thu
game really begins is a give-way; it is
a confession of both insincerity and of
defeat.
Thu New Ago lias no harsh nriticiHiiiH
to make of prominent Republicans who
are opposed to Mr. Simon; sumo of
them are very excellent and deserving
men; nut a bitter factional fight upon
a leader for many years and a present
United States senator is a poor way to
bring about harmony in thu campaign
ami success at the polls.
NIXSROFS IN POLITICS. '
Negroes generally take an Interest in
politics, which in right. They ought to
take an even greater and more general,
and a more intelligent and comprehen
sive Interest in politics. Not that the
sahatlor. of tho race its advancement,
progress, prosperity and merit of recog
nition is to bo principally achieved
along political lines. These must bo
won by industry, study, ofllciency,
ability and faithfulness to duty along
industrial lines. Yet tho Negro race
has been, is, ami should be more and
more a jsitent force, and an increasing
ly intelligent fnrco, in national, statu
and local politics.
Tho Judgment, or witli some, ' por
hapH, in ono sense, tlio instinct rather,
of almost all Negroes to votu thu Re
publican ticket is wise, and for their
best interests. Willie there are innum
erable friends and helpers of the race
among Democrats, yet Negroen havo
nothing to gain, in a broad view of tlio
matter, from thu Democratic party.
Ah a rule, if nut invariably, the, Negroes
must ml I it! re yet, for awhile at least,
to tho Republican party.
Yet tho Negroes ought on somu
proper occasions to do something to
show their number and voting strength;
to give tho Republican party an object
lesson that will bring it to a sharp
reulization'of what tho Negroes in the
Northern statcH, especially in "doubt
ful" states, havo done and uro doing
for that party.
There seeinhjto bo but ono way to do
thiH:' That is, on somu opportune oc
casion to'voto iiB Holidlv as H)sslble for
some opiiosing candidate, somu good
man whoe election would do no harm,
but would hIiow wha tho Negroes can
do politically; what, indeed, thoy have
done and are doing, almost without
liotieu and often with but slight recog
nition. Tho council should Imj very cautious
about gran ting now franchisee for elec
tric power, lighting, etc., to unknown
persons, or Indeed Just now to any
body. It Ih u littlo suspicious that so
many peoplo want to got privileges of
this kind Just now, and especially if
they aro not willing to divulge who
they nro or what menus they have to
carry out proposed, projects. Probably
they only want tho franchlho to lot it
Ho unused until it shall 1km omo valua
ble, mcunwhito keeping others out or
preventing tho development of existing
enterprises.
Kvery two or four years thero Is a
great rustling and bustling to "down
Joe," but "Joo" has never boon
"downed." except for very brief ami
unimportant periods. In all important
emergencies ho always comes out smil
ingly triumphant. And why? Bo
cause ho lias brains, and the best brains
of tho Republican jwtrty trusts him.
Ij, R. Iiwis seems to bo tho favbrito
for thu Republican nomination for
county surveyor. Ho will mnko a
strong candidate, and if nominated will
not only bo olectod, but all who nro, ac
quainted with him know that ho will
prove u capable tuul trustworthy ofllcer
Tho very activo statesman from tho
mouth of the big river, who is anxious
to keep his friend and protege in tlio
fat office of secretary of state, seems to
bo spreading himself out a littlo too
much to insure success. He is all right
in Clatsop county, but Eastern Oregon,
Portland, and part of' the Willamette
valley make rather too much of a load
for him to carry. Let him beware lest
ho suffer tlio experience of the dog that,
crossing a creek on a log, dropped tho
chunk of meat he had, to seize the shad
ow of it that he saw in tlio water.
The term of Judge R. S. Ucan, chief
justice of tlio supremo court of Oregon,
expires this year, and there is appar
ently no doubt that ho will bo IiIh own
HiicccMgor. It in not likely that any
one will contest his renomination in
thu convention, hut If so it would be a
vain effort. Judgn Jlean Ih acknowl
edged to be one of tho ablest judges
who ha- ever hold that exaltcil posi
tion in tliis statu; ho is still in his
prime, ami is better qualified than ever
to contlnuu the important work that he
has performed so well in tiie past.
Hon. Charles S. Moore, state treas
urer, is ono of tiie most popular tiiuu in
tlio state. Ho Ih much more so .now
than when lie wiih elected, for ho is now
Isitter known, and all his many mw
acquaintances are IiIh friends. Rut
what, is more Important, hu has made a
faithful, cfllcient ofllcer, and without
any disparagement of his predecessors
Iiiih given tlio statu a much improved
and more economical administration of
Ills ofllco. Ho deserves a second term.
Frank Reeves, who was recently ap
pointed, has made a capable foreman of
the Ameriacn Typo Foundry Co.'s
plant at Portland, which handles tho
inside patents of over 100 newspapers
Mr. Reeves, althougli n young man, has
worked hlm-elf up from thu very bottom
by sticking to business. He is today
tho youngest foreman employed on the
coast and has a number of men under
him.

At the Moment.
It la not an unusual thing to bo able
to waken oneself at a certain time, yet
the babtt may be carried so far as to
be almost mysterious In Id delicate ac
curacy. Says tho author of 'Three
Men on Wheels":
There aro men who can waken thorn
solve at any time, to the .minute. The;
ay to themselves, as they lay their
head upon the pillow: "Four-thirty,"
"four-forty-flve," or "flve-flfteen," as
the case may be; and when the time
cornea, they open their eyes. It Is very
wonderful, this. The more ono dwells
upon It, the greater the mystery grows.
Borne ego within us, acting Independent
ly of our couacloua self, niustbecupable
of counting the hours while wo sleep.
Unaided by clock or sun, or any other
medium known to our Ave sensses, It
seeps watch through the darkness. At
the exact moment It whispers. "Time!"
and we awake.
The work of an old riverside fellow
called him to be out of bed each morn
Ins; half an hour before high tide. Never
enr did he oversleep by half a minute.
At last be gave up working out the
time for himself. He would sleep a
Veaaless sleep, and of ery morning, at
a different hour, this ghostly watch
saan.true as the tide Itself, would silent
tvrU him.
