Recent legislation for Hie benefit
of the Oregon National Guard, has
had the effect to call oat from va
rious newspapers some very ill-na
ture!, flinrmiit and uncalled for !
t lunula at that breuitizulion. Ti e
Sulera Statesman h;is been nola--ble

of cheap and petty diatribe?. II
has characterized the militia as a
set of conceited dudes and kid
gloved, dress paraders who do
nothing ut gallant abor.t the
ronntrv at'nublic exuense. It is
not recorded that the fclate of Ore
gon has ever yet- paid out ary
money for any such thiags, and
hence those who criticise, the mi
litia in such strain, simply- betray
their own waspish disposition and
hastily stoop to create a sentiment
of injustice against them.
The instinct of soldiership on
whieh this organization is founded
. Is hot a vain desire for display,
but a patriotic spirit, a sense of a
duty ot citizenship, by which our
young men are animated. In a
body of men so actuated and
made efficient by drill and discli
pline, there is a defense against
disorder or anarchy, and a nucleus
for general military organization,
should the public defense require.
it.
The state of Oregon should be
prepared to preserve public order
within its limits, and on all occa
sions to enforce its own laws. It
should not desire the intrusion of
the' national government, but
should depend on itself for main;
tenance of the dignity and majesty
of its authority. There is a senes
f humiliation in being obliged to
call on the general government to
qtxell every local disturbance; and
to- do this breeds a habit, more
over, that is fatal to the diguity of
local authority and to the effici
ency and strength of local govern
ment. Strange as it may appear to a
resident of the staid old city of
super-sanctity, of massive patriot
ism and herculean enertia ; down
where the brawny arm of state
yields its beet blood to infuse
some life into the nerves .of the
capital empress, occasions have
been known in the experience of
several towns iu the state of Ore
gon, where a good militia force
would hare appeared like a guard
ian angel. Our own Corvallis can
testify to thiB truth. The writer
has seen another little town, at
the mouth of the Columbia, where
it trembled under the shadow of

The congressional world's fair ap

on the Sunday closing clause as a

money it:would look a little unfair
to go back upon the contingency
that secured it. The law was a
; piece of foolishness in the first
place. It waft "emni-bused"

and was the result of a collusion
"between democratic congressmen,

It looks as though the. Oregon
ian and the New York Times
would have to draw straws to see
which is entitled to the prize for
Us misanthropic essay on the
character of James G. Blaine.
Each cited act after act of the
dead statesman's noble service
to his country; of the various
broad and statesmanlike measures,
both national and international,
of which Blaine was the author;
of the brilliancy of Jus diplomacy
and the "courage of his convictions'-
Blaine always displayed in
the name ot justice and humanity
and the elevation of his country's
interests; of the admiration he
could command and the wildest
enthusiasm to which he could stir
the soul of tho entire nation; and
of the hold pre-eminent he had
upon the affections of the Ameri
can jaasses. Ail tuts ins critics
acknowledge; and recognizing the,
facts, the verdict of the magnan
imous world is that: "Blaine was
a great statesman." Still, there
appears to have been one quality
lacking in his career. 113 had
failed to please tiie mugwump,
the self-righteous pessimist and
the jealous misanlhrop, and above
all his virtures this fault arose
with such over shadowing . poign

arbiter whose robe is the mantle

The Times, it is remembered, is
a great mogul of mugwumpism. Its
inconsistency is just the measure
; of the candor breathing satire and
and splenetic impartiality with
which it deals with every subject
that is not iu line with the mug
wump order. TheOregonian is
just the Oregonian, and no other
explanation is needed. The pair
of them have the field pretty much

"THE .SOBER SECOND THOUGHT.
The newspapes are slowly com
inr around to the good old "g(
slow" policy regarding Hawaiian
annexation. As we anticipated
the windy talk is gradually dying
out. Tho San Francisco report
pointedly observes that there is
a great deal of wild talk by politi
cians who want some hooey oy
which to work themselves into
prominence; but thinks the United
States government will preserve
its dignity, hear both sides of the
squabble on tho island, and do the
just thing by all concerned. The
Astorian, too, with a deep, clear
vision into tho true inwardness of
the annexation scheme, probes
into the would bo made excres
cence of American political job
bery with the keen steel of fact
that coes to the core of the the
wiley piece of jugglery. It says:
Those who overthrew the native
queen's ruse uiu so tor lmnncai

is another complication, uiaus
Spreckels, the wealthy sugar plant-
er ana renner, nas aireauy maue
over $500,000 out of the revolu
tion and the annexation talk. On
Friday last the slock of the Hawaii
Commercial Company was sold
at ten cents a share. Saturday it
''.imocd to so a share and, as
ho and his sons had bought in all
that could be obtained, they are
almost the sole gainers. Now, if
the islands should become United
States territory the 1Q0,000 shares
of this company would probably
go up to $60 or more a share
the figures they were quoted at
a fsw years ago and the Spreckels
would make millions out of this
one concern alone.
. Then there is the bounty of 2
cents a pound to be paid to Amen
can sugar planters under the Mc-
Kinlev bill. If the United States
will continue to pav this bounty
and Hawaii becomes a part of the
United States the Spreckles fam
ily will get. several millions every
year on that account. It is, there
fore, as clear as anything can be
that the so-called revolution at
Honolulu and the demand for an
nexation are part of a scheme
having but one object, and that
is putting money into the pockets
of the rich planters and their
satelites. To oblige them this
country is to be burdened with a
most undesirable population, and
all that this implies, and more than
our workingmen xrobabIy even
suspect now.

the pilotage plum and Portland is
in a rage. Between the two,
so far as it affects the stats at
large, it is diamond cut .diamond
between the two. The pilotage
business at the month of the Col

of grab and it doesn't make much
difference whether its headquar
ters are at Portland or Astoria.
Meanwhile we in this section can
look on with indilFerence and let
the ferocious aoimules chaw each
other; while the euphonious chords
which swell the breezes that

the muses of the plains and wood

Sexatoi; Dolpii has again loom
ed up as a probable appointee to

democratic members have objected
to confirm. The compliment
would be a peculiarly emphatic
one, under the circumstances, re
dounding not only to the merits of
tho man thus honored, but prov
ing a just recognition of the politi
cal genius of the northwest Pacific
coast. Dolph would grace the ex
alted position with the best of
them, and his people have faith in
him.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, Eeb'y 6th, 1893.
The president has heard the of
ficial proposition made by the
commissioners from the new pro
visional government of Hawaii for
the annexation of that country to
the United States, and is now,
with his usual thoroughness and
pv.,. of.iriv.-nir tho miPst nn. in a 11 I

its bearings, in order to make up
his mind whether he will take any
steps towards annexation, matte
any recommendations to congress,
or leave the whole matter for the
incoming administration and con
gress. Before the commissioners
arrived it was thought probable,
indeed it was informally agreed
that a treaty by which the United
States took the republican govern
ment of Hawaii under its protec
tion would be about the proper
thing for the present, leaving an
nexation to follow, as it unques
tionably would have don'e in a few
years. Hut when the ultimatum
t - 1 ji it i .
of the commisioners annexation
or nothing was received, the sit
uation was changed. The presi
dont and all of his cabinet are fa
vorable to annexation, but as it
would have to be preceded by
congressional legislation, and the
life of the present administration
and congress is so nearly spent, it
may be deemed advisable by the
administration not to begin what
would probably have to be ended
by the next congress and adminis
tration. A decision will probably
be reached in a few days. The Ha
waii flag red, whtie and blue
stripe,, with a red cross 111 the cor
nel' is flying from the top of the
hotel at which the Hawaiian com
missioners are quartered. There is
nothing foreign looking about the
commission.
A determined effort is being
made to secure some silver legisla
tion on a compromise basis before
the session' closes. Han Lament
and Don Dickinson are here in
the interest ot the new administra
tion, aud to submit to the silver
men several propositions for a
compromise, all of them involving
a suspension of the purchase of
silver by the government. They
say that if their efforts are not
successful an extra session of
congress will centainly be called
ine Din authorizing the ex
penditure of $50,000 in the pre
paration of an exhibit for the
world's fair, showing the progress
of the colored race since 1863, has
been favorably reported to the
house, and the favorable manner
in which it is spoken of by mem
bers indicates that it may pass,
but, owing to the crowded con
dition of the calendar, action on
no measure is certain.
Probably no single action of the
president during his entire term
ha3 been more talked about than
the nomination of Judge Howell
E Jackson, of Tennesee, an able
jurist, but an uncompromising
democrat, to - succeed the late
Justice Lamar on the bench of the
U. S. sepreme . court. The presi
dent had stated to a number of
gentlemen his intention to 'nomin
ate a republican, and such was his
intention until the day before he
nominated Judge Jackson, aud
the cause of hi3 change of mind
was a notification he received to
the effect that twelve republican
senators would vote with the dem
ocrats against the confirmation of
any republican he might nomi
nate. The reason given by most
ot these republicans was that an
attempt to force the confirmation
of a republican would result in
either tying up the senate for th
rest of the session, or the adoption
of a cloture rule, and that thev
would not take any chances of
either. Contrary to precedent
Judge Jackson's nomination has
been referred to a committee. It
has been customary to conifirm
the nomination of ex-senators
without referring them to com
mittees. Judge Jackson althouch
a democrat1 is "not a believer in
the doctrine of states rights
Democratic senators say privately
that his confirmation deDends
upon Mr. Cleaveland's wishes.
The house while sitting as a
committee of the whole, adopted a
very sensible amendment to an
appropriation bill, giving the
OAvners of American quarries a
chance to compete with foreigners
in furnishing the marble for the
new congressional library build
ing, but when the - yea and nay
vote was taken in regular session
the parfy whip was brought . into
use and the "protection" cry
raised; consequently the amend
ment was rejected by a party
vote. - - .

Sec. Foster's report on the con
dition of the treasury, and his
estimates of receipts and expendi
tures for this and the next fiscal
year lias put an end to the talk
about a bankrupt treasury, which
has been more or less prevalent
among democrats ever since con
gress met.
The amount of tilated cur-

$1, 00,000 a day, being much
larger than for many years. It is
believed that this is largely caused
by the scare concerning the carry
ing of tho germs of contagious
diseases in old paper money.
The attempt to make Panama
canal investigation a star-chamber
affair is not well received. The
people want to know the whole
true inwardness of this business
and if it injures anybody's reputa
tion so much the worse for them.
- M
he death ot Charles Algernon
Sarotoris, the husband of General
Grant's only daughter, will relieve
that lady of the tie that bound her
to a coarse and repulsive roan,
and made her life a failure. Al
though she made no complaint
and patiently bore her sorrows, it
has been generally understood by
the American people how the mat
ter stood and the sympathy has
been with and for her. She is
still living in England with her
children.
The good news from Carmaux,
France, that the great strike of
the French miners is now likely to
be ended in a manner satisfactory
to both sides. The committee of
strikers have agreed to submit the
matters under dispute to arbitra
tion. If they had arbitrated be
fore they struck, they would be a
good many thousands francs in
pocket to day.
If the "u" in the Hawaii ex
queen's name be given its proper
value of "w," it makes the name
siniDler iu pronunciation. Thus
her name is Leelee-wokalanny.
The Philadelphia Ledger thinks it
hardly worth while to worry about
the pronunciation of the name,
since it has so lately changed to
Dennis.
Ferdinand DeLesseps the
world's great projector, hovers
between life and death, and at
the age of SO years is under a 5-
year sentence in a French prison
for the part he held in the Panama
business. The ''irony of late"
has a hard touch for many in this
world.
Scientists tell us that the effec
tive size of the .molecule is never
larger than the five hundred
millionth of an inch, and in some
cases it may be found to be no
larger than tho thousand-millionth
of an inch. The. little item was not
learned by actual count in the
Gazette office.
With one fell swoop the stale
board of charities was wiped out
so clean that scarcely a grease-Kpot
was left of it. The mining bureau
goes to keep it company. Who
ever remarked that this legislature
"didii,t amount to no great
shakes" anyway ?
The legislature is disposed to
help the people of Lake county
$5000 worth in a scheme to estab
lish a high school at Lakeview.
The local people engage to first
erect a $12,000 building before
they get the money.
Weatherfobd's bill so fixing
official compensation that no fee
account can pay to an officer over
$5000 a year stands a chance of
becoming a law. Most any man
up a tree would say it ought to.
HOW IT BECAME POPULAR.
When people find aa article much auperi
or to anything of the kind, they have ever
before need, tbey are almost sure to tell
their friends about it, and especially if they
know of some friend needing such an article,
Dealers also Boon learn the trne value of
their goods, ajd when they have an article
of unusual merit they will almost invariably
mention the fact to their customers. This
accounts in a great measure for the large
sale of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy,
Here is an instance: W. L. Needham, a
prominent citizeq and business man of Orrs-
burg, Mo., has been selling Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy for beveral years and recom
mends it to his customers, because in his ex
perience it has proven to be the best for
colds, croup and whooping cough. He says
it is the most popular medicine that he han
dles, and gives . the best satisfaction. .SO
