J-A i-lU : $2 X- 1 01 75 he 2 50 The: democratic congress continues-to work hard at doing nothing hut the people must foot the bills. The nomination of William G. Gilbert of Oregon, as United States judge for the ninth judicial district has been confirmed. " The McKinley bill lest England $22,000,000 - worth of trade last year, and in consequence our Brit ish cousins are not feeling jubilant. - The farmers can enter a talking match with any of them. A windier convention was never held in Oregon than that of the people's party this week. Ex. Some notion of the extent of the baseball business can be gathered from the fact that the factories in Philadelphia use 100 horse hides a week to make covers for balls. The grand total of charitable be quests in England during 1891, excluding Baron llirsch's benefac tions, was $15,000,000, as against $11,500,000 during the preceding year. The Mercury says: David B. Hill may visit Oregon, lie will be a curiosity and as such will be viewed by Oregon democrats with no little interest. But wait till he mentions Cleveland's name (if he dare do it)! The sugar bounties during the past year amounted to $7,500,000, and the people saved $00,000,000 on their sugar purchases. That is to say, republican tariff reform was worth $52,000,000 to the country, exclusive of the sum paid for the protection of domestic producers. The Florence West thus ex presses itself for the reelection of Hermann : By the time one single individual, of recent coming to Florence, talks more of defeating Hon. Binger Hermann for congress the people will surely have lost all patience with him. A man who will strain his political prejudices to the point of voting against his town's interests, ought to appeal to some authority for a Jittle com mon sense. John Wanamakeu, the Philadel phia merchant, says that during the ten days previous to Christmas His sales covered about $100,000 a day. so that the grand total for the ten days was only a few dollars tinder a million. He adds: tlI spend $5000 a week in advertising, and I pay a skillful man a former editor, and a good one $1000 a month to do it for me. I make money by it. Advertising is the leverage with which this store has been raised up. 1 do not see how any large and successful business caiv be done without liberal adver tising." From all parts of the northwest come reports that nurserymen are increasing their stock; and enlarg ing their nurseries, while new nur series are springing up on every hand. 4 Yet with all this increase many have a large part of their stock engaged and the chances are that notwithstanding this great in crease in stock there will be none left by the time the season is over. This is a great fruit country and thousands of acres will be set in trees within the next five years. There is not a week but brings rumors of either revolution in, or war among, the Central American states. There is a lesson in this for us that we must elevate the standard of our popular education, because an educated and intelli gent voting population constitutes the only safeguard of a popular form of government and is the only thing that can give it perpe tuity. Ignorance leads to tyranny and m our case it would be the tyranny ot a mob, which is even worse than the tyranny of a (despotic ruler. The Washington correspondent ef the Hartford Courant gives no credit to Senator Hill for declining that portion of his salary which Aecrued before he took the oath of nice. He says, "The money re: inains in the custody of the senate subject to his order, -and the order of has heirs, so long as time shall last and the government shall ex ist, unless Mr. Hill himself shall direct that it be covered into the treasury.. The trick to which Sen ator Hill has resorted is one which was familiar in the days of the sal ary grab." It will be interesting to note whether Hill ever orders it covered back into the treasury. .Probably be- proposes to wait a year or two, then quietly draw it, jind bestow it safely in the depths of his own pocket. ' RIVER AND HARBOR. The Ui ei;umaii's Washing on correspondent says the river' and habor bill is bow completed and is ordered reported to the house. Representative Hermann secures great results for Oregon. His slate nggregatt's more appropriations than any state in the Union, with the excexition of .New York. Ihe great canal and locks at the Cas cades of the Columbia receives nearly $500,000 and is placed un der the contract system for com pletion, the secretary of war being authorized to contract for the whole work, lor which $1,310,000 is estimated, exclusive of the sum now allowed in the present bill, which becomes immediately avail able. Under the contract S3rstem it is expected that ships can pass through the Cascade canal and locks of the Columbia within two years. Mr. Hermann made a gal lant and very persistent as well as discreet struggle for the con cession to his state. He firmly insisted that if like privileges were bestowed on any other great works of the nation, it must now be un derstood that the Cascade locks should be counted in. He stub bornly resisted any other arrange ment. the river and harbor bill. This policy will hereafter take the Cascades canal out of the river and harbor bill, and Mr. Hermann thinks in the ne.xt congress the permanent works at the dalles and Celilo rapids can be under taken and also placed under con tract, unless the senate should come to the rescue now when the present river and harbor bill reaches that body. No separate bill can possibly pass the house, in view of the immense sum which is now given Oregon in the gen eral bill. The items as now se cured in the bill for Oregon are as follows: Columbia river at the Casc.icles. . . .$435,000 Mouth of the Columbia 300,000 Coos Bay 210,000 Yaqaiua Biy 75,000 Siuslaw river 10,000 Tillamook Bay 15,000 Lower Willamette and Columbia.. 50,000 Coquille jetty 25,000 Upper Coquille river 5,000 Yamhill river to McMinnville 3,000 Upper Columbia and Snake river 159,000 Willamette river to Eugene City, with a commencement of the special work at Oswego, Clacka mas iiapids, Corvallis, Independ ence and Salem 30,000 Provision is also made in the bill for the examination by the war department with a view of im provement of Alsea river in Benton county, of Chstco river in Curry county; of Rogue river, from Grants Pass to the sea, in Jose phine and Curry counties; of the Nestucca river in Tillamook coun ty; of Coos river in Coos county, and for the construction of a lock and dam in the Yamhill river at Lafayette, in Yamhill county. Mr. Hermann hopes to see the Siuslaw appropriation increased. Upon this itexn the fight in the committee was to reject the pro ject entirely, and it was a triumph to obtain the present allowance. Since the house committee has allowed so much for Oregon, a smaller margin will be allowed the Oregon senators to . increase the appropriations for the lesser proT jects, which usually have the great est difficulty for recognition; and liberality. The great demand is to complete the large works first and, benefit the greatest .com merce. This position, however, is that of the representatives of the east, where the greater commerce exists. Mr. Hermann says when the senate has added even the most jiecessary increases to the house items, it will still leave Ore gon with a larger appropriation than was ever before obtained. In the present bill the Willamette river receives a larger allowance than was ever before secured for it. It is now nearly treble that of the last congress. The mouth of the Columbia is also completed and does not require much, but obtains a larger percentage of the amount recommended than any other. Yaquina bay requires much less than before, and receives a good percentage. A new project is pro posed here. Coos bay has entered upon a large project and obtains a generous allowance. The full amount for Yamhill river was given in order to remove all the temporary obstructions from its mouth to McMinnville. Oregon's total appropriations. The total allowance now for Oregon is $1,170,000 and nearly equals that, of the "billion dollar congress," although the aggregate of the present bill, which is $20,-, 124,000, or less than that of the last bill as it was reported from the river and harbor committee. Then it was $20,932,445. The state of Washington receives an aggregate allowance of $84,000, as against $19,000 of last congress. Mexico is calling for our corn. The St. .Louis merchants' exchange a few days ago, called for 18,000 bushels of corn for shipment to Mexico, the first transaction" of -the kind ever made. During former years Mexico has raised an ample corn crop, but last season the crop failed and the -United States has been called upon to supply the de-1 ficiency. " A POINTEit. Good judgment and the rules of propriety should prompt a news paper man to hew to the line, and not even by indirection invade an adjoining judicial district. Sug gestions are almost always out ol ordf r at least, they are so-ejVnsid ered. We feel confident that our republican brethren of the third district are well able to look alter the personal of their judgeship and see that clean republicanism shall prevail. The third district, from a repub lican standpoint, is very fortunate, indeed, in possessing strong judi cial limber. Burnett and rord of Salem, McCain of Yamhill, Wol verton, Hewitt and Blackburn of Linn, besides many others, are all able and worthy. We presume possibly on the long standing of the Gazette as a straight up-and down exponent of republican prin ciples when we modestly make the suggestion that there is not a single one of the learned gentle men named whose republicanism has ever been below low water mark. It may be true no one of these gentlemen has an ambition in that direction. We believe in none of this low water mark kind of republicanism or in solidifying around one whose alleigance is ac tive to the different sops isms, alliances, etc. in these dajTs rid den for political and judicial pre ferrment. These old calamity breeders should be sat down upon hard. The republican party in its onward march cannot Gater to those mischief makers who follow in the wake of all the prevailing issues, and who are more fre quently found in the enemy's camp than our own. The republican party of the third district, as regards judgeship, ought not in decency be ridden for revenue purposes only. That is getting to be an old, old game. Policy, expediency and soft solder only feed disease and is no part of republican doctrine; its use is get ting to Jbe old in certain places. Years ago we read the Arabian Nights, and remember the old man of the sea and we commend the story as containing material for thought to our brethren of the third district. Reward should be for merit, not perverseness. PEOPLE'S PARTY PL A TFORAI. The platform of the people's party, as adopted at Oregon City, embraces the following leading features. It demands direct loan by the government at 2 per cent., tree and unlimited coinage of sil ver, increased circulating medium to $50 per capita, postal saving banks, no alien land owners, cor poration ownership restricted to actual land used, government own ership of railroads, abolishment of railroad commission aiur maximum rate, , reducing rates one-third, government ownership of tel egraph and telephone lines, im provement of Columbia river by buildir.g parallel railroad to be operated by the government. The only tax for the support of the government, the 2 per cent on loans by the government and grad uated land tax- No exemption for indebtedness without corres ponding rendering of taxable credit, liquor sold by state agent and not drank within sixty feet of purchase place, no license by national government, equal suff rage, anti-Chinese, state publish school books, county officers re slricted to salary, eight hours a day's labor in factories; mines and shops. Reorganize Knights of Labor labels. Against Pinkertou detectives. Against Nicaragua canal, unless owned by the govern ment operated at cost; direct vote for all officers. To issue legal ten der notes and pay Union soldiers the loss occasioned by depreciated currency. A statistician has established that erery worker in an American factory consumes over $300 worth of agricultural produce a year, while the English workingmau under the' most favorable circum stances does not use more than $4.42 worth annually of the pro ducts of American farms The obvious deduction from this fact is that the American farmer derives about twenty times as much bene fit from having manufacturing done abroad, because the Ameri can factory hand is a twenty times better customer than the English worker, who takes more American farm products than any other for eign workingman.. If the democrats must-Jiave i'dirt-cheap". clothing whydon't they-provide for its manufacture by our convict labor, instead of sending our money abroad to pay foreign pauper labor for the work? The republican party is opposed to labor competition with either convicts, pa uvei'toir slaves. Reciprocity; gives us as 'much oif" more, as'-we give . in exchange for it." Free trade would seize a large share of our best market at borne and give us nothing in exchange. NOTES FOR WOAtEX. ' .The teachers instute was lull of interest, and attention never flag ged as subject after subject was introduced, that of hygienic physi ology was warmly discussed. It was presented by Mrs. Preident Keezel of Philomath who made several good points. That the very parents who declare that they can teach everything "of the kind lhaHs requisite to their children are the ones who say that they never learned phvsiology and such a study is not necessary. Proiessor Brownson of McMinnville' spoke strongly on the evils of the cigar ette and urged the teachers to set their laces against the habit. An other Prof, said that a practical illustration was worth oceans of talk, and that a few simple chem ical experiments with nicotine and alcohol had worked wonders in his school. Mr.. Riggs, state supt. of the W. C. T. U., wiih quite a number ot the friends of the cause, were en tertained Tuesday evening by Mrs. F. Berchtold. Mrs. Riggs spoke on this subject and also about the home for unfortunate women which was founded in Portland by the W. C. T. U. women. Of this we will hear more at length in the near future. Lady Henry Somerset will soon return to England, but will still continue her articles for the Union Signal. Would that we might transplant so choice a flower to our fair American climate and soil. Mrs. Riggs says that women might as well be ordained as ministers for they will preach without ordination. One hundred and six pulpits were filled jn Bos ton by women attending the worlds W. C. T. U. convention. Women will some day be emanci pated. ' Women have full suffrage in Wyoming, municipal suffrage in Kansas and school suffrage in the following states and territories: Arizona, Colorado, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minn esota. Montana. Nebraska. New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wvoming. In some of these states woman has unrestricted suf frage. In other the right is more or less restricted. E. M. S. The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald has re cently furnished that paper with a table made up of the interviews with leadink men from all over the Union, which purports to show how the delegates to the national democratic convention will vote as between Cleveland, Hill and some western man. The table gives Cleveland 265, Hill 2S5 and. the western man 350:. Alaska's two votes not being counted. Under the two-thirds rule, which pre vails in democratic conventions, COO votes will be necessary for a choice, and neither of the New ifork men, it is thought, can get them. Ol the western men, Pal mer, of Illinois, Gray, of Indiana, Boies, of Iowa, and Carlisle, ol Kentucky, have the best chances Senator Dolph's bill, author izing the payment of $1.25 per acre to settlers on the even num ber sections within the forfeiture land grants of Oregon and Wash ington, passed the senate Tuesday by a strong party vote. Every democrat in the senate recorded himself as being against restoring these people the money they had paid for their lands, beleivingthey were to receive railroad benefits, now that the lands are forfeited and become a part of the public domain and are sold at $1.25 per acre,, while the older settlers and the pioneers were compelled to pay t wice that amount for those they own. Mayor Mason, of Portland, has been on a trip to San Francisco. He says of Portland: "We may complain of the want of enterprise here, but we have acres of it where San Francisco has none." The worn out theme of Oregon moss backism will be a chestnut after a while. Oregon will be the storm center of progress for the next twenty years.
