TbrM month 35 ntl InUred at the Post-office at Hillsboro, Oregon at Second elssr mail matter. Statesman sherman. It 18 now reliably settled that John Sherman will be Secretary of State under McKinley. Sherman is a man who has served his sttte in Congress for many years and if experience is any guide he should bo u si'ccef 8 89 a member of the cabinet. There is no doubt but Mr. (Sherman will listen to his class on grave matters of international af fairs and in this is the liability of his subordinating justice to the truckling to trusts and wealth. As a partisan leader, Mr. Sherman is success. As a statesman he has been heard in national councils al ways on the side of the rich manu facturing interests. The farming class has never received his cham pionship, and never will. Banks and banking, trusts and corporate influences, recognize in Mr. Sher man a fitting agency for their bet terment, and he will be in a pos ition, perhaps, to do them more benefit in the office to which he will be appointed, than would he as master of the treasury. ,Mr. Sherman is not to be con demned for his espousal of these influences. For so many years has he felt their power that now he labors under the delusion that they are the government and none other. GIVE MITCHELL HIS DUE. 1 ; Every true bimetallist is opposed to the re-election of Senator John H. Mitchell because he is a bimet allist only as a vote catcher. But in all fairness to Mitchell, he is as Worthy in this regard as the party whose minority desires his defeat. The republican .party in state con vention assembled has believed and declared free coinage of silver and the senator has been guided by that sentiment. In fact, it was the pos i'.ion of Oregon's republicans in high authority which caused him to lead and excel in the advocacy of that whicli is now condemned as dishonor. The republican party has believed in free coinage and it is a notorious fact that had honest in Multnomah and sentiment lorce ot arms. state convention would have endorsed Senator Mitchell on the money question and h-en -triumphant throughout the statu where it subsequently lost representation. Mitchell held to his party instruct ions until the compromise was made at St. Louis and then stump ed for McKinley. This ought to entitle him to party recognition, but to true bimetallic support, nev er. Mr. Mitchell, as a republican, had a right to place "protection" ahead of the money question and it is a matter of conviction to millions -that McKinley's election was com passed on this one vital question iyital because the unthinking voter eaw hard times concurrent with democratic revenue policy. Those people in Oregon who are indepen dent bimetallists are no more dis honest than those of the en tire-republican party who in state con vention declared for it a few years back, hut they do not have use for h man who once said in congress that "no tariff could ameliorate our condition free and independent coinage would only give us a re turn to prosperity." Therefore,the fight on the senator ial question i one of republican re pponsibility. Mitchell deserted the principles once taught by republi cans in this state an I this he did that republicans might gain su premacy. He should look to them for support, but no republican who has voted the Oregon ticket of 1890 should accuse John If. of inconsist ency. He has been as consistent as the party at large and besides this was perhaps the agency which brought many bimet i llic votes to McKinley in this state. That is why Thb Abgub opposes John H. I Mitchell and every bimetallic pa per should to do: He sacrificed prindpbj for his party's welfare and for the SDoils of administration. However, the devil himself Bhould i if primjirif iJi"i- 11 "ll ii . 1 have his dues, and John H. Mitch ell, being as consistent as his party, ahould not be opposed as a recalci trant when he was faithful to the g. o. p. in time of need, even at the cost of the contempt of the whole state OPPOSITION A CRIME. It really is surprising to note the narrowness of spirit and intoler ance of opposition in opinion en tail t in a republic which has ex- dured 120 years. If one were to' believe what one hears and reads i i in editorial expression (which is more or less indicative of current sentiment)in the United States the conclusion must present itself that there are nearly fourteen millions of fools possessed of the privilege of (,f suffrage. Over seven millions in November voted to legislate values by tariff decree, and at all times were their leaders reiterating a government could not legislate val ues. The opposition was branded as "fools" and "anarchists." Over six millions constituted this opposition and its leaders were emphatic in denouncing the seven millions as following a financial policy which ultimately meant ruin, not alone to the republic, but to all its people. There were those who had no hes itancy in calling the gold men "scoundrels" and doubtless were as drastic in t' eir comment as were those of the seven million. The truth of a matter is: The absolute gold standard has never been tried in this country, but those countries of Europe which have tried this system are not Elysiums for the poor. Wealth, gross and unfeeling, is monarch of all legislation. Men had a right to oppose its inaugura tion in this country.. The double standard has been tried here, and notwithstanding the cry of "both metals can't float currently," it had been proven a success. These state meuts are matters of history and it is only a question as to whether present world conditions are such that we can revert back to the old system without trouble and main tain by law creating a demand, a parity between the two metals used for coin, one of which is now de pendent upon the other by frith at least. We have seen the contest for supremacy fought at the polls. Men have voted for tariff change, rather than for the establishment of a financial system. They believed in what thev condemned others for belief that values can be legislat ed. Let us hope that time will prove the correctness or error of the theory, so the nation can get to gether four years hence and vote more nearly in a body, without fly ing at throats and abusing for dif ference in thought. It is sad to think we have no honeBt men in 70 millions of people, and that reason ing is a crime. GOOD LOGIC AND GRAND. ; Louisville Courier Journal. The directors of one of the largest and most prosperous banks in Louisville chose for president yesterday a man who had begun life as a newsboy, and who has made $250,000 in legitimate busi ness. Still the calamity-howlers contin ue shouting that the door of opportunity is forever shut in the face of the poor. Yes, but, Henri Watterson, if every farmer's boy in the country should go gunning for hank presi dencies who would hoe the cotton and who would plow the "cahn?" Who would make moonshine whis key and who in thunder would make up the list of depositors? The bank president's wives? GIVE HIM A CHANCE. There is very much being said, these' days, about 'prosperity not coming, as promised, if McKinley should be elected. Mr. McKinley profited by these promises, but it is hardly just to expect him to be responsible for the continued de pression. When he is inaugurated and sends in his first message to congress and the administration is straight McKinley, then, if things do not pick up, look out for "blood on the moon." Of course, the gold standard press which promised in siantaneous revival was proven false as prognosticators, showir.g that even those who lay claim to all the brains have nocinche on reading the future. Banks continue to burst and the cause which would have been due to anarchy" had Bryan been elected is now ascrib ed to "dishonest bank officials." This cutting and filling is indica tive of a low moral temperature in our metropolitan press hut the Pre8ide"t elect should not be blam j eG Ior lnal- " " McKinley's "ame W1" not brin8 H these prom- ied things, let us patiently wait and see if his presidency will do it If it do, theu he is good for re-election. If it do not then look out for the next election. The most daring politician and smoothest manipulator of legisla tures is one J. B. Foraker, of Ohio. He is a republican of note and is commonly known as "Firebrand Foraker." This politician promis es to give Mark Hanna more worry than did the last presidential cam paign. Senator Sherman has ac cepted McKinley's offer of the cab- i net position of Secretary of State and it is generally supposed that this was done to allow Bushnell, Governor of Ohio, a chance to ap point Hanna as senator to fill out the unexpired portion of Sherman's term in the eenate. It is now said that Bushnell thinks of resigning at d that his lieut-governor, on as suming the chair, will appoint him to the senate instead of the great dictator. Foraker is thought to be at the bottom of the whole move ment and as he is known to be a Bushnell man it looks that way And then, it may be Foraker who will go. The next grand jury should thoroughly investigate social con ditions in Washington county. There are altogether too many in nocent and unsuspecting young men just out of their teens lured to ruin by the female portion of our population. This wholesale degen eration of our Oregon sons' morals appeals to the heart of every par ent and it ia high time this pinafore brigandage of male virtue ceases. The nursery is radly in need of re construction and if our courts do not soon make an example of some Amnzon of tender age who has ru ined some boy just by his majority there will soon be but little glory in rearing a family of boys. The churches should prosecute this ref ormation and see our voting popu lation is protected. The legislature hold up at Salem can be prevented in the future by such a bill as Driver presented making absence subject to a fine. This would do away with running from a roll call and more than that, would draw to such a proceeding, harder thaii a sunstroke on a Chic ago August day.' If something of this kind is not put into effect after the legislature gets organized the solons will have left something un done which is worthy of doing. The government, will very likely foreclose on the Pacific roads and this will nicaii that the people will soon put in the national treasury the 112 millions due or the gov ernment shall go into the. railroad business. Germany already has national railroads and they are proving a success. There is no particular reason why the people can't enjoy a railroad monopoly and make burdens easier. The banks of the east aro failing each day, and "confidence restored" is playing sad havoc with business institutions. The dailies which be fore election said McKinley's elec tion would at once assure prosper ity and confidence keep on attribu ting the failures to "'dishonesty .'' Had Bryan been elected 'twould have been different and all would have been laid to the door of na tional "repudiation." 1 erusal 01 an UKiahomo paper discloses two hundred divorces . 1 t granted in one county within the period of one year. With this in view it is evident many mistakes have been made in the name of God which haye been rectified by common every day circuit judges. But it is very hard these days to discern just where to stop and com mence attributing these mistakes to the devil. The election' of United States senators by the voice of the people at general elections has no better endorsement than the hold up at Salem. The senatorial fight pre cipitated the lock and if there had been no such election pending or ganization would have at once been effected. . When the people elect their senators by ballot these legis lative hold U s will be things of the past. It is useless for republicans to expect to lay the blame of the leg islative tie-up. tjhe populists' and democrats. ThU-three minorities knew when there was likelihood of organization and as soon as such condition was ripe roll call would, show no quorum. At uny time had 39 republicans been present in the House a quorum would have been present. : . j. ,4. Oxk can but notice with what alacrity the bankers of Chicago have wired their unanimous ap proval of the treaty between this country and England, .There seems to be a kindred feeling' be tween the vulgar rjch.of this nation and the titled nobility of, England, which dictates all legislation for the mother country. ; " ;: The legislature is still deadlock ed and the people will not Jose .much if it stay so and there is no organiz ation.
