THE LIGHTS ARE NOT OUT.
There is no reason for our gold
press to so continually shout that
free coinage of both gold and silver
is dead, because Oregon, forsooth,
has gone for the gold standard. It
certainly is patent from an an
alysis of the vote, that the gold
standard party, however divided on
state and local issues, made a cam
paign to the last ditch to win out
in the election. The charges made
that antipathy to the gold standard
was treason, were very foolish, but
they had a very deterrent effect up
on many men who conscientiously
believed in the money system of
our fathers and thousands staid at
home rather than face that dema
gogic thrust.
The campaign's result is largely
due to the Portland Oregonian,
which spared no pains to make
capital out of the existing war, and
which was virulent in working up
on the fear and prejudices of the
masses. The vote shows that thou
sands staid at home who would
have voted union, on this account.
As a matter of fact, the gold peo
ple had a splendid organization,
carried down from two years ago.
which strength was ably seconded
by "dollar wheat" (in no way a re
sult of the administration) and its
bearings upon general trade. This
gave them a victory which the peo
ple of Oregon are very likely to re
pudiate upon prices going to the
level which existed prior to the
shortage of production of the
world's bread grain. The same
fight is on the fight for product
not debased and it will ultimately
win.
DO AWAY WITH MACHINES.
When Congress passes a law pro
hibiting the use of party name and
party organization, the people will
rule and not till then. There is al
together too much partisanship in
our national politics. If party
name were allowed to exist in one
campaign only, farmers would get
together and reason upon lines of
policies which would better benefit
the farming classes. As it now is,
partisan delegates sent to national
partisan conventions, are frequent
ly influenced into writing platforms
which bespeak profit to certain in
terests that draw substance from
the real builders of commerce, the
farmers and laborers. When the
platform is launched many support
it on lines of party loyalty who
would otherwise combat the princi
ples enunciated. This party busi
ness builds huge machines and is a
great detriment to intelligent and
dispassionate discussion of national
issues as witness the attendance of
a man to an opposition meeting.
He simply, in the vast majority of
cases, goes to hear from an already
l l i t . i
prejudiced standpoint ana comes
away laden with a bundle of im igi
nary weaknesses. This is true of
all people, more or less, and there
is but one way to put an end to
this do away with party machines
This is where direct legislation is
imperative, and one of the greatest
reasons why the practical politician
fights it. When the people can
take the reins of government in
their own hand, politicians vvili lose
their occupation. The machines
must go, sooner or latter.
ELECTION REVIEWED.
Experience has taught us that a
minority party has but little show
to make gains against the majority
when a country is involved in war
The money question had but little
to do with the resutt of the late
Oregon election. The war was
pushed to the front and held there
by press, spellbinders and all. All
opposition to the policies of the ad
ministration was branded as trea
son nd there is no question but
this influence had great bearing
upon the vote. On top of this, we
find that "dollar wheat" had much
in it to bring out the "powers that
be" to victory. These two factors
were the chiefest strength of the
campaign and had more to do with
the state going republican than all
else. The gold plank in the front
end of the platform wagon and the
general endorsement of the interna
tional plank in the rear had but
little influence on the whole. It was
war and dollar wheat that did the
work. Connected with the first was
the outrageous charge of treason;
with the second came the apathy
resultant with good prices. There
was no particular logic in either
position the one, the war, being
the result of a whole popular senti
ment the other, the edict of na
ture. But thev were sufficient to
cause many to falter and stay away
from the noils. Geer received less
than 44.(XX0 votes: King, over
33,000. McKinley received 4S,679 ; I
Bryan 46,532. Thus it will be
seen that Geer's vole fell short over
5,000 from the 1S9G fall election.
As the republicans made a very ac
tive canvass, had there been any
changes, the vote should have
reached the McKinley figures, the
changing vote surely sufficient to
counterbalance the loss ot republi
can votes by virtue of leaving the
state. So it seems the stay-at-homes
were numerous, thus giving the re
publicans, who had a splendid or
ganization, a walkover. This is
about the whole story to the elec
tion and the Chronicle, of San
Francisco, was right when it said
that the war was the issue that
threw the balance as it was. The
bimetallists need only wait for nor
mal crop conditions to obtain re
sults and there is no necessity -for
alarm amongst the oppositionto

- .- -A WORD TO CRITICS-
r ,.q. ', ,,, f
While there should be nothing
which savors of suppression of in
dependent thought in the summing
up of national affairs, nevertheless
the criticisms abundantly going the
rounds of the eastern press relative
to the campaign in Cuba are not
broad enough to meet with general
approval. It is to be ren embered
that, while we havgonly a bank
rupt power to vanquish, this very
bankruptcy is one of the Spanish
soldiery's greates incentives to do
and dare. Cuban harbors are all
well fortified and in many instances
it will take combined naval and
land attacks to depose the Latins
It must be remembered that this is
not a political war, and no matter
how much our administration dem
agogues may seek to so imbue the
nation's mind with this false prin
ciple, it is the duty of those who
are opposed to the political policies
of Mr. McKinley to use the broad
est possible judgment consistent
with the greatest and best type of
American citizenship. A free press
and free speech are two of the chief
est characteristics of a republic, but
license is not freedom. Let it be
remembered that our loss of life in
the fcpauisn war is less rnucn less
than the loss of time. Let it be
remembered that Spain has a bad
position in the Antilles, sue is
completely hemmed in and it is on
ly a question of a few weeks until
the gem of the Caribbean sea will
be released from Spanish power.
This will not be the result of politi
cal action, but of our national life
When one stops to think, we have
done much, considering the fact
that Mr. McKinley's message to the
American Congress was but a re
quest to further await developments
upon the order of Spain's Queen
granting a cessation of hostilities.
No one should at this time get has
ty. The Spanish are intrenched on
Cuban soil with a large army; their
mines and torpedoes infest each
and every harbor. We have them
cornered and while some mistakes
are always made we should await
the only possible solution to the
situation, the freedom; of Cuba and
our own redress, with patience and
dignity. Spain has been warring
for years; we have not fired a gun
in conflict for thirty years and per
haps our heads of departments are
a trifle slow. This is but natural.
But we have the enemy cornered
and it is only a question of time
in which we are aided by Spain's
bankruptcy and our ow.i unlimited
resources. Let us be fair. There
is no question as to the outcome,
LET IT BE ABOLISHED.
The great speculator, Jos. Leiter, of
Chicago; has at last come to grief.
Dabblinus in one of our stable pro
ducts should be prohibited by law.
It unsettles: business and gives false
hopes, oftimes, to farmers and pro
ducers by holding a market up to
figures that cannot endure; influen
ces, unduly, elections by exerting
pressure upon the public mind, and
should be stopped. Let intelligent
fanners watch the world conditions
instead of stock exchanges and we
will U-: better off politically an
economically. If bread grain is to
bear a good price let the fanner en
joy it,' not the speculator Ltiter
has met a just fate. What is his
loss is somebody else's gain. The
only regret is that but compara
tively few fanners participated in
the money representing his loss.
IMNGl.KY VSTHE AMIUiHTY.
The bottom has fallen out ol ttie
wheat market. At a time when it
should bear an excellent price in
order to lie well up after America
has harvested, it is in the dumps.
This does not augur well tor prices
this fall, anil almost, a complete re
versal of natural conditions of pro
duction must ensue before it again
can reach the dollar mark. The
lesson is obvious. Time and again
have wejasserted 'hat the "dollar
wheat" was the result of God's nd
ininistration rather than the result
of Mr. Dingley's bill, but "sound
money" orators have continually
cavorted over the land on their dig
nity, giving the Dingley bill the
credit of theAlmighty's decree. As
soon as normal production comes,
lookoutjor the gold standard pric
es which endured, throughout Mr.
Cleveland's time, at which figures
Americans' cannot f produce with
profit. Farmers, above all, are
those who should watch these mat
ters with anxiety.
" " WHY SO CH
CHILDISH?
Why is the Oregonian so incorrig
ibly childish? Some time since it
raved because Mr. Bryan did not
start out with a machete to slay
doodles of Spaniards, and now that
he has enlisted, it curps at him in
very intolerant accents.
The Union people put up a good
fight against a majority of 519 Me
Kinley's majority in the county
and went down to defeat with col
ors flying. For years the opposi
tion to republicanism has met de
feat after defeat and the contest
seemed almost hopeless. They
have, though, proven that a major
ity of the people of Washington
county agree with them that Louis
A. Rood is a safe man for County
Judge and this makes the defeat
less unbearable. As to B. P. Cor
nelius, as a private citizen, he has
a host of friends outside of politics.
Let us hope that his successor will
do all in his power to give the tax
payers a good administration.
Up to going to press, Marcus A. Hanna
had not enlisted.
Judea lives again. One of its children
will control the destinies of Oregon for
two years.
John Sherman's going to Alaska may
be a logical move to get away from the
board of strategy.
No one shall now be surprised if Joe
Simon yet passes a registration law
one allowing only Simon men to register
and vote.
Well, well, well, dear old Oregonian,
do let up on Mitcheilism and tell us
something about what we are to expect
from the powers that be.
Mr. Simon may decide to stay away
from the U. S. Senate. Should he be
sent there he will have to fight to get the
mace from the presiding officer and Joe
doesn't want any superior.
With wheat a good price on any stan
dard, everything prospers. Why? Be
cause farmers can buy everything! But
wheat, like money, is subject to supply
and demand, and now that the product
is assuming normal conditions, it must
get back, eventually, to Cleveland prices.
The Independent's and Hatchet's edi
torial staffs have been somewhat weak
ened since the campaign closed. While
it does not always win to havean accoui
odation set of of editors, in the two cases
above mentioned it is somewhat of a re
lief to at least read something lively and
for that reason we are sorry the campaign
is closed.
The Oregonian takes the San Francis
co Chronicle to task for intimating that
the war had much to do with Oregon's
election. The Chronicle's position is
well sustained in the minds ot all who
heard the stump "sputers" and read the
republican press editorials, all of whom
and which alleged that a vote against the
administration was "treason." The
Chronicle was right about the causes,
and it being a republican paper, its opin
ion is unbiased.

joe Simon for Senator.
The Washington Post printed the
following on Thursday after receiv
ing the returns from the Oregon
election: "Those at the canitol i
who are familiar with Oregon poli- j
tics pick on Joseph Simon as the
new republican senator from that'
state. Mr. Simon is un attorney of,
prominence, the law partner of the '
lute senator Dolph.and is described
r i i it
as a man very shrewd. He was
once central committeeman tori
Oregon, and has served several
terms in the state legislature, and
lias been conspicuous as & lender of
the gold forces. j
"The advices as to the complex-:
ion of the legislature are necessari
ly incomplete, and later informa
tion may change the situatiot , but
if i he victory for the single gold
standard is as. emphatic as it ap
pears to be, the election of Mr. Si
mon to the senate is very probable.
