COMMENT ON CLEVELAND.
It is stated that Hugh J. Mohan, of
San Francisco, an ardent admirer of
Cleveland , and who stumped the state
of New York by making 153 public
speeches last fall in the presidential
campaign, and who also pawned his
household goods to raise sufficient
money to carry him through the cam
paign and who since Cleveland was
lected has had an earnest and persist
ent desire for the collector of customs
at San Francisco became much disgust
ed when the President a few days ago
told Mohan that he should give the po
sition to a business man. Mohan sug
gested that the president did not stop
to inquire whether he was a business
man when he asked him to stump New
York state and spend all his money in
doing so, whereupon Cleveland advised
him to return to San Francisco and use
his influence with the collector who
might find something for him to do.
Mohan certainly finds himself a victim
of misplaced coufidence under democrat
ic rule. He no doubt feels tha t a man
yrho would forget his friends and bene
foctors is not worthy to become president.
A Washington dispatch to the Chi
cago Herald, a democratic paper con
tains the following mournful and heart
rending criticisms upon president
Cleveland.
"What's Cleveland giving us?" ejac
ulated a Tammany brave. "Who have
iiaimo wjwi ejaculated a
bombastic Bourbon. "Is the demo
cratic party running Cleveland or is
Cleveland running the democratic party?
inquired a gazelle-eyed Chicago man.
"Give it up," replied a San Francisco
sand-lotter. "Does the dog wag the
tail or the tail wag the dogi'' deman
ded an aspirant for a postmastership in
the tar heel state. "What does Cleve
land mean by conferring the Berlin
mission upon Gentleman George Pen
dleton, the civil service reform idiot?"
complained a federate brigadier. "Who
in thunder is Phelps, that a Vermont,
maple shugar, alleged democrat should
represent the administration at the
court of St. James?" expostulated a
stalwart exponent of democratic prin
ciples from Posey county, Ind.
'Things are certainly not of the Jack
sonian order," suggested a Tennessee
state bond repudiator. "Where does
Jeffersonian simplicity come in?" ar-
guea a V irgiman from the tide-water
country.
They are a part of history, which
should be full of instruction. They
teach that the south was for the south
and southern rights and southern
wrongs against the protest of every
Christian nation and against the warn
ing voice of those who had fellowship
and sympathy with the south 's politi
cal views.
The protest that patriotic citizens
have made against the appointment of
notoriously unrepentant secessionists to
places of trust in the federal govern
ment is not directed against the men
but against the bitter sectionalism they
represent. When Jefferson Davis, on
the 21st of January, 1861, rose in his
seat in the senate of the United States
as the representative from Mississippi
the state of secretary Lamar to an
nounce that his state had seceded
and that he would retire with it, he
boastfully and bitterly declared that
Mississippi "surrenders all the bene
fits and deprives herself of the advan
tages, severs all the ties of affection
which have bound her to the Union
and thus divesting herself of every
burden, she claims to be exempt from
any power to execute the laws of the
United States within her limits." The
man who agreed with Jefferson Davis
in this expression of sentiment, who
at the close of the war defended the
Character of J efferson Davis in the
senate of the United States, is to-day
a cabinet officer of the government, so
far forgetful of the past that he un
blushingly puts himself on public rec
ord as a sectionalist pure and simple.
A New York wool merchant who
deals mainly in Pacigc coast wool says:
"California to-day grows better wool
than it ever did. Certain manufactur
ers here will use nothing else. The
market is rather quiet, but look for a
big improvement within a short time.
Prices of all kinds of wool have fallen
off 10 to 15 per cent., compared with
last year. If it were not for burr and
seed, for which there is no remedy, Cal
ifornia wools would be preferred to the
products of other states. The bulk of
the wools from Oregnn are now coming
here direct. The clip is in better cou-
uiuuu man it nas oeen in tor years
and we notice on the market a lighter
snrinK in wools, caused by these direct
shipments. Formerly the best Oregon
wools were sold in San Francisco, to
scouring concerns there."

There has been a newspaper row
going n between the proprietors of
the "Oregonian" and the proprietor of
the "News ' for several weeks, about
which the reading public care little or
nothing and it seems to interest only a
few besides the proprietors of the two
papers. The "Oregonian" is a good
paper, and the people take it and ap
preciate it for its news. So the
"News" under its present management
has grown from a failure to what bids
fair to second to none in the state, and
while the "Oregonian" bears its fight
on the grounds that the "News" has
published items copied from other jour
nals without giving those journals
proper credit. Yet the "Oregonian"
should remember that up t the time
when the "News" was started by
Mr. Cole that of the items extracted
by the "Oregonian" from the country
press all over Oregon it failed tr give
credit for more than one-fourth of
them. For the last couple of years
the Oregonian has been a little more
considerate in this particular, for what
reason we do not know or care. But
one thing certain since the "News"
was first started the course of the
"Oregonian" has been much more fa
vorable to the interests of the people,
and for this reason' alone the people
should lend a firm support and help
ing hand to the "News" while also the
"News" is an able paper and well con
ducted and worthy of support upon its
merits.
WHO REVIVES SECTIONALISM?
Democrats claim that Republicans
continually revive the old issues of the
war and the questions which led to it
but the following which appears from
the Albany "Journal" shows other
wise: "A gentleman who called on Secre
retary Lamar recently had inquired
concerning some appointment was
somewhat amazed at the following re
ply: "I care no more for a northern
democrat than I do for the northern
republican. It is simply a question of
north and south with me."
Any one v ho is familiar with the
history of America politics knows that
the south made slavery an issue from
the time the constitution was framed.
It fought tenaciously in congress for
slavery, and when defeated it took up
arms and finished the contest on the
field of battle. The end was the com
plete overthrow of slavery and the hu
miliation of the south. The south has
u e j.i .1 -i-
myrttjo uccu iUl nie soutn. just as soon
as the democracy of the aorth refused,
under the pressure of public opinion,
to follow the lead of the slave states,
the whigs lost their hold on every
state beyond Mason and Dixon's line.
From that time on the south stood al
most solidly together, compelling the
north to make a compact for the pres
ervation of the Union.
So completely did the slave states
control the democratic party that in
1859 (in the midst of a general upris
ing in the north against slavery) their
representatives in the senate farced
the majority to pass resolutions declar
ing it was the duty of congress to pro
vide protection to the rights of the
slave holder when the government of
A DEMOCRATIC SCHEME TO RU1.I JOHN
ROACH IN FOREIGN INTERESTS.
A recent dispatch contains a very plain
argument by John Roach the noted Amer
ican ship builder:
John Roach, when interviewed on the
subject of his.failure.jsaid: "Stiictly speak
ing, it is not a failure, for my assignees will
be able to pay $2 for every $1 of liabilities
if they realize anything hue the real value
of my property. I cannot now say what is
the exact amount of my liabilities nor ast-ets
but if I were not so old a man and if 1 had
my health I could put things straight again.
If the people understand this mattei, if the
mendacious free trade press had not so ex
tensively deceived them, the failure of John
Roach would be recognized from ocean to
ocean as a national calamity. This is a
party question. I have been a republican,
out above that I have first, last and ever
been an American. It was my great ambi
tion that our nation should recover its glory
and prosperity on the seas. I wanted to
prove that American merchandise made bv
American workmen in American shops could
be sold the world over through the medium
of American ships, built from iron rolled in
our shops and of timber cut from our own
forests. I wanted to prove that we could
do business on our own boltoms, and that
other nations, with less resources, could
not be more sagacious and enterprising on
the seas. I have given mv life and my
fortune to that end. Iraduced and abused
by those men and newspapers whom the
foreign interests have subsidized, and
brought into scandal with millions of my
fellow citizens who were deceived by them
and who did not understand my purposes,
in my old and enfeebled state and after half
century of toil I have lost my money and
spirits, but I am consoled by the fact that
the people will one day uuderstand it all
and see it in its real value, I tell you those
boats were condemned before their keels
were laid. They were condemned in con
gress. The democracy dare not oppose our
new navy, because it had become a popular
notion. Trie people in the United States
wanted a navy, but the democracy opposed
the appropriation because, as they claimed
in their congressional speeches, the money
could not be honestly spent. The Dolphin,
a strong, substantial, excellent vessel was
condemned on the most purile technicali
ties, and to add to this injustice Attor
neey General Garland has repudiated the
contracts, and practically said that there
exists no building agreement between me
and the government. That capped the cli
maxbusiness stagnant $30,000 of weekly
wages to pay, my works to maintain and
contracts 'repudiated. "
