We will not hear much abuse ol
Harrison and Reid alter this week.
It will keep the democratic organ
busy trying to explain away tin
weak points of the presidential
hacks in their own stables. S'.ates
man.
Every one of the presidents up
to Lincoln's time wore no beards nor
sported mustches. With the ex
ception of Andrew Johnson, all the
presidents since Lincoln's time
have made use of either one or the
other.
During the past nine months
there has been a falling off of im
ports to the extent of $3,000,000,
and an increase of exports to the
amount of $120,000,000. The new
tariff law
is now doing its own
talking.
Henceforth Governor McKinley
of Ohio, will be a more prominent
figure than ever in republican jjoli
tics. He ought to feel kindly to
wards Oregon for if every other
state delegation voted in like pro
portion he would be the republi
can nominee for president. As
torian. i -
The republican press has cordi
ully endorsed the nomination of
Harrison andReid. Some papers,
like the Chicago Tribune, perfer
red Blaine, but they have all re
spected the will of the convention
and metaphorically speaking have
taken off their coats for a lively
campaign.
The next elections of any national
importance will be held in Ver
mont on September 6th and
Maine on September 1 2th. State
officers and members of congress
will be elected and both parties
will make a strong effort to increase
their voile for prestige in the No
vember national election.
ihe average cost ot convicting a
murderer in Ohio is given at
$5000. If the people of that state
get through with murder trials at
that figure, and have any reason
able assurance of getting rid of the
criminal as the law provides after
the cost is taxed up against them,
the people of Oregon should first
congratulate them and then try to
find out how it is done
an.

The first republican convention
fipoke for states of which Iowa was
. the most westerly, excepting Cali
fornia, on the Pacilic coast. Min
nesota was then a territory. The
great Northwest, the republican
reserve, was under Federal admin
istration. Then only 149 electo
ral votes were needed to elect.
The total popular vote at the suc
ceeding election was 4,000,000.
The defeated candidates alone in
this year's contest will poll not less
than 6,000,000 votes.
The graduating class at Yale
this year embraces 179 memders.
Of this total, 22 are democrats ; 20
call themselves "independents,"
and the remainder, 137, are repub
licans and protectionists. The ir
resistible logic of facts counts for
more with these intelligent young
men than mere theory. It must
be discouraging to the noted free
trade professor of political econ
omy at Yale to find, the students
refuse to accept his theories.
A part of the declaration of
principles adopted by the recent
republican convention at Min
neapolis is the following: We ap
prove the policy of extending to
towns, villages and rural commun
ities the advantage of the free de
livery service now enjoyed by the
larger cities of the country. The
liberal policy of the republican
party in postal affairs during many
years proves that in this brief item
there is something more than a
mere campaign declaration. Ore
gonian. The unanimity of the republi
cans in favor ot protection is in
striking contrast with the discord
among the democrats over what
they call tariff reform. All re
publicans are agreed on the Min-
. neapolis platform that "on all im
ports " coming into competition
. with the products, of American
labor there should be levied du
ties equal to the difference be
tween wages abroad and at home."
Against this plain American prin
ciple the democrats can agree
upon nothing. We may reason
ably expect, therefore, that upon
this issue all independent, intel
ligent men will vote for Harrison
and Reid.

The census bureau has issued a
bulletin on the assessed valuation
of property in the various slates ol
I lie Union in 1890. About- the
only use of the bulletin will be to
show how inadequate the assess
ments in many states are to reveal
the
true value of the property
within them, for it can hardly be
supposed by anybody that the fig
ures given in the bulletin are even
approximately correct. Thus, for
example, Illinois with her well
cultivated soil, her rich towns.
her vigorous metropolis of Chi-
i r
cago ana a population oi niuie
than 3,000,000. is reported to have
had in 1S90 a wealth equal -to
727,4 16,252, while in 1880 her
wealth was valued at $78(,(51G,-
394, showing a decrease during
the decade of $59,200,142. Ut
course sucii a snowing as uns is
absurd. It is stated in the bulletin
that while the law of Illinois pro
vides that all property shall be as-
essed for taxation at its true
value, it has been estimated that
the assessments in 18S0 were only
fifty per cent of the true value,
and in 1S90 were only twenty-five
per cent of it. Oilier states show
-i i . n V .1
a similar condition oi anairs, ana
as a consequence the statistics are
of but little value in forming, a
conception as to the real compara
tive wealth ol the several states.
The statistics of California are,
perhaps, more accurate than the
others. In that state the wealth
is given for 1890 at $1,09S.541,-
564, against $584,57S,030 in 1880,
being an increase of $513,963,528.
This gave California in 1890 a
per capita of $909.29, being greater
than that of any other state in the
Union, with the exception of Massa
chusetts, where it amounted to
$962.12 per capita, and Rhode
Island, where it amounted to $931.-
28 per capita. Ihe assessed wealth
of the whole Union was reported
in
1880 at $16,902,093,543 and in
1890 at $24,651,585,465. How ;
near accurate these figures are it
is impossible to say, but the cen- '
sus officials estimate that they
are not equal to one-half the true
wealth of the country and that
our absolute wealth is probably in
the neighborhood of $64,000,000.
Wiiitelaw Reid, editor of the
New York Tribune and republican
candidate for the vice-presklencv,
receives warm commendation
from leading New York journals.
The Herald urged his nomination
before and during the convention,
and congratulated him and the
country alter the nomination had
been made. The Sun spoke of
him in this generous manner viz.:
The nomination of Mr. Wiiitelaw
Reid adds greatly to the strength
of the republican national ticket.
Rarely has any ot the candidates
for this office united in his person
so many qualities bearing tne pro
mise of success. Familiarity with
public affairs, abilities proved in
many departments of intellectual
effort, judgment ripened and disci
plined by experience, and that
great advantage which proceeds
from being known in all parts of
the country, all these belong to
Mr. Reid. Everybody understands
that if he were vice-president, the
functions of the office, however
great their extent might prove to
be, would be administered with
dignity and wisdora,and, above all,
with entire patriotism. Indeed,
we esteem Mr. Reid as the strong
side ot the Harrison ticket.
Governor Pennoyer, of Oregon,
on the 15th inst. commuted the
sentence of W. B. Daniels, sent to
the penitentiary for seven years
for rape on March 10, 1890; Ar
thur llanlan, trom linker county,
December 9, 1889. for seven years
and a line of $500, for the crime
of manslaughter, and George F.
Gorman, from -Marion county,
June 30, 1890, for five years for
assault with a dangerous weapon.
Here are three criminals, convict
ed of grave offenses, let loose upon
the community after serving but a
small part of their original sen
tences. A governor who regards
his pardoning power not as a grave
public trust to be invoked only
when some clear miscarriage of
justice has been wrought, but as
a 'private, personal prerogative,
by which he can vent his personal
sympathies, is a public calamity.
Such official jail-breakers for
dangerous convicts belong to the
class of cranks, who, when in pub
lic office, recall by their conduct
the current proverb that "the
over-zealous and ill-guided ass is
sometimes as dangerous to man
kind as the level headed rogue."

President Harrison now has
more big offices to fill than at any
other time since the beginningof his
term. A successor to Secretary of
state Blaine is to be chosen, and
according to. law the office must
be filled before July 4; the Rus
sian mission is vacant, also the
comptrollership " of the currency
and a seat on the supreme bench,,
and a brigadier general in the
army, a governor of the soldiers'
home and a judge-advocate gen
eral of the navy are to be ap
pointed. '
Marion liarland's Endorsement
OF
Royal Baking: Powder.
Extract from Marion Harland's Letter to the Royal Baking Powder Co.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, June 13, 1892.
The president is still receiving
congratulations on his renomina
tion. At first they came princi
pally by telegraph, but this morn
ing brought the first wave of a
deluge by mail. They came fronr
all sections and all classes, and
they all sing one song the tri
umphant election of Harrison and
Reid. The congressional delegates
and' visitors to the national con
vention have nearly all returned
to Washington, and as one man
they' are of the opinion that the
convention made a rattling plat
form and a winning ticket, and
that there was less dissatisfaction
at its close, than was ever shown at
any national convention at which
there was a fight for the nomina
tion. . This is gratifying, and leaves
little doubt of . republican success
in November. It is conceded by
all that no man who is a republi
can can give a valid excuse tor not
cordially supporting Harrison and
Reid; and all that is necessary to
make their election certain is that
they receive the full republican
vote,
The democrats are positively
dazed at the situation. Where
they expected to find a strong min
ority of the republican party
lalkimr doubtfully ol the success
of the national ticket, if not act
uallv Ihrealeninz open revolt
against it, as a result of the warm
contest at Minneapolis, they find
the republicans marching shoulder
to shoulder, without a break in
the solid column. Whatever
there may have been before and
durinr the convention there are
today no anti-Harrison republi
cans, which speakcs volumes ior
the the nartv and its future: and
the president has no better friends
today than those whose relations
with Mr. Blaine are the closest
and most intimate, and, I know,
that unless prevented by. sickness,
Mr. Blaine will take the stump
lor Harrison and Reid.
j A buncomb resolution has been
introduced in the house and re
ferred to the committee on foreign
affairs, directing the president to
sever diplomatic relations with the
Russian government until such
i lime as that government shall
cease discriminations against the
I Hebrews because of their religious
faith, and remove the "arbitrary
and brutal restrictions now im
posed upon them against the pro
test of the civilized world. What
! would be thought of the Czar if
he should order diplomatic re
lations with the United States
(severed until such, time as we
! should repeal the Chinese exclu
sion law, or any other law upon
; our statute books? He would
i have just as much right to do so
' as we have to follow this resolu
tion. It is the introduction ol
such resolutions that, makes sensi
ble men think it might be a good
idea to require all bills and reso
lutions to be approved by an of
ficial having authority to that of
the managing editor of a news
paper. - .
Much interest is felt in the se
lection of a new secretary of state.
The president, who is now con
sidering the matter, fully realizes
the importance of selecting a man
big enough for the position and he
will make no mistake. There is
no foundation for the various ru
mors of the position having been
tendered to Mr. Depew and others;
no one has yet been offered the
place..
Senator Quay is authority for
the statement that the ..men who
opposed the president in J he
national 'convention will all be
found taking active parts in work
ing for the election of the ticket,
just the same as if they had
named the candidate. That's the
sort of talk, it is no ; more and no
tJess than every republican has a
I right to expec t of every other re-
publican. While every man
i natnrallv has his nersonal Drefer-
ence it is the party and its great
principles that . have made the
J
United States the greatest and
most prosperons of all countries,
that all patriotic republicans place
above and beyond any man or set
of men. Men die, but the princi
ples of the republican party will
live as lona: as Americans love
liberty and appreciate prosperity.
Ihe democratic situation is be
coming acute, particularly to those
democrats who realize the weak
ness of Mr. Cleveland as a candi
date.
Col. L. L. Polk, president of
the farmers', alliance, and the
man who was expected to aid the
people's party in getting control
of three or four southern states is
dead. When the election returns
are in it will be found that the
third party idea is also dead, so far
as the south is concerned. -
The Oregon asylum for the in
sane may not be a model institu
tion ot its kind, but, though the
aggregate cost of maintaining it is
heavy, the cost per capita is cer
tainly as low as the most rigid
economist cold expect. Ihe
monthly report of the superintend
ent lor- Mav snows me average
daily number of inmates during
that period to have been 75S, and
the aveaage monthly cost per
capita of keeping them $11.03
Ut tne wuoie number remaining
in the institution June 1, 529 were
majes and 237 females, about the
usual proportion in. which the dis
sipations and businees cares o
men discount the domestic worries
and peculiar physical sufferings of
women in making up i lie record
of insanity. The care that is be
stowed by a pitying common
wealth upon these miserable crea
tures, who are practically dead
vet to whom the boon of death is
denied, has been evolved from in
telligent. sympathy and progressive
medical science, and the cost of it
is borne ungrudingly by those
more fortunate in life, or wiio
have ordered their lives more
judiciously. Oregonian.
On the morning after the deci
sive day of the Minneapolis con
vention, the New York Tribune
had an able article endorsing the
re-nomination of President Harri
son, concluding with tins para
graph, on the nomination of tlie
editor of the Tribune himself for
vice president: "The nomination of
Mr. Wiiitelaw Reid for vice presi
dent completed the work of (lie
convention. On this subject ;t
becomes the Tribune to spettk
briefly and simply. The dislinc
tion was not sought, and cannot
insure a more zealous and loyal
support of the republican ticket by
the Tribuna than it would have
given to any of the candidates
whom the convention could have
chosen. The nomination of Mr.
Reid does, however, impose
upon this journal special obliga
tions of courtesy and fairness and
patriotism, which it. will endeavor
so to discharge as fo deserve the
approval of fiiends" and the re
spect of opponents."...-'
The poltical complect ion of the
next Oregon, stale legislature will
be as follows: Senate Republi
cans 18; Democrats 12. House
Republicans 36; Democrats 24. -

dated June 21st, Rev. Charles A.
Rriggs and wife who created so
much notoriety among religous
circles' during the past year have
enrolled themselves in the nnxili
