Uivlc Sam stands ready with hatchet and nails in hand to spike the American H;i on the mast of every vessel employed in the mer chant, marine as soon as congress gives him permission. John Sherman is opposed to ex pansion. There was a lime when he wieided a power! ul influence in the affairs of the nation, but that time has long since passed. lie is ijow 77 years 01 age and cannot he expected to exhibit the vigor of tor nier years. McKinley did a wise thiiur when he paved I he w:iy for his resignation as secret ary of state. He never ought to have been lit his cabinet. President McKinley is showing good statesmanship in putting our new possessions under control ol the military arm of the govern ment. It will prove a boomerang to the many politicians who expect sof t jobs and good pay. Our new territory will be treated justly under this plan. Enemies of good government will meet with prompt rebuk and prompt punishment for crime. The weal', vili be protected against the av-:i- ricious and strong and affairs will be so efficiently administered that thv resp60! and. Obedience ?t all will soon bo obtained. Tlie nation Will ltrirn to appreci-1 ate the benefits of stable and just laws under which all can live and prosper without fear of being robbed of the results of their bus iness and toil, and without intri gues or poliiical schemes engen dered by :t horde of curbs tone politicians who were to lazy to work at home and foo incompetent to obtain recognition in their own community, who might otherwise obtain appointments through a desire to get rid of their importun ing; by the administration. Senators Hoar, Chandler, Hale. Vest and Cockerel and Zar Reed are opposed to the ratification of ihe treaty with Spain. These ten tlemen are reinforced with f'rof. Norton and Carl Schurz, mug wumps of the first order. Vest and Coekerel luive not learned any thing since 1861. They ihen op posed the-ad ministration a have contintiaur role ever siiue. Aira vet the country has grown and expanded, increased in wealth and in fame in spite ol their efforts in opposi tion to Ihe grandest march of civili sation dunng the ages. They of course may derive some satisfac tion in being able in some degree to block the car of progress, but they cannot stay the hand ol destiny. In a sh. ri lime they will be wailing at the rear end ol thw procession. The morning dawns. The bird of freedom is pluming for greater flights. The world is being revolutionized by. the ingen uity and intelligence of our peo pie, and he whose heart is not attuned to the lively strains oi civil and religious liberty and whose step n not in cadence with the majest o tread of coming ! events will be left bv the way side crushed and forgotten. - . mm ! ing facts.

The platform upon which President McKinley was elected pledged the Re publican party to a protective tariff. That pledge has been redeemed by the prompt enactment of the Diugley bill, which has done much towards accom plishing the ends sought by the meas ure, namely, to open the mines and fac tories and furnish employment for the idle. It has don- much more than its staunchest supporters had even hoped for it, in enabling our manufacturers to not only furnish our home markets but to sell in foreign markets the fruits of American industry. This grand re sult has been attained during the past year, evidenced by a balance of trade in our favor f $61$, 000,000, the largest in our history. One pledge in the platform adopted by the National Republican Convention at St. Louis ard indorsed by the president in his letter of acceptance, as yet stands unfulfilled. That i", the plank referring to the protection of the American tner chant marine. It is as follows: "We favor restoring the early Amen can policy of discriminating duties for the upbuilding ef our merchant marine and the protection of our shipping in the foreign carrying trade. Mr. McKinley stood upon tl-;is plat form, and in his letter ef acceptance of the nomination mentioned it in plain, unequivocal language in these words: "The uoliev of discriminating duties in favor of our shipping, which prt- j vailed in the t-arly years of our history, ' shon'd be again promptly adopted by congress and vieorouslv supported unti' our prestige and supremacy on the seas i.i fully attained." The voters in November, 1896, sanc tioned the utterances of the Republican party and its nominee for president by a large majority of both the e'ectoral college and the popular vote, aHd elected a congress with the largest Republican majority in sei r.ral years. The instruc tion to carry oxt this policy was empha sized by the entuusiam ot the masses of our countrymen when the news flashed across C-.e land thr.t McKinley was chosen the executive of the nation. The platform represented the crystal ized sentiment of the Republican party OH the subject and the party eanuot say have faithfully administered the trust committed to our keeping if it shall fal '.short of ndoptitig such a liberal policy jand making it effective by proper legisla- tive enactments as will fully restore our Merchant marine t? the important and highly useful position contemplated in the utterances of the party at !nt Lsnis. There is no half way ground, no tem porizing, no unnecessary delay or com promise measures that will meet ti:e requirements of the case or satisfy the demands of the cainitry, much less coit viuce the adherauts of the party that they have uot been trifled with. This pledge must be speedily and hon estly redeemed. The policy of discrimi nating duties has made England mistress of tha seas. The need for the discriminating duties favoriug our merchant i-.iarine is far more important now than when uttered at St Louis. Our domain has larg .ly increased as a result -f the Spanish war. Our trade will consequently iusrease, and this large trade must be carried in American ships flying the Stars and Stripes. Instea. of allowing foreign vessels tb carry eighty per cent of our exports and imports, weby a liberalpolicv of protcctiaa ' ;if all this ii'imet;s freigi. ; savewWBirn peepl . uiu.iuns ol dollars annually. Oregon wi 1 expect its full de ejation to material.y aid in briuging about the desired results and thus putting the party square on its p blic utterances before tht country. An Answer. Editor Gazette I would like s jace in your valuable publication for a few words in self defense. In an article over my signature I in tha Gazette of November IS, I ! made a statement regarding a row : between two young l.-d of this j place. In it I did not place blame, j neither did I -side in" with either ! I kept in the middle of the road, ' so far as the fierhl was concerned, i and only took a stand in the right j direction when I called attention (o certain acts of the father, an ex preacher. I stated in my notes, the follow were bought, and lastly I men turned that the father was an ex preacher. Each and every o e of the above statemenis are true and annot be successfully contradict ed by anyone, and furl her, they are the statements contained in my ariicle of November 18. It is not "one side". It is a correspond eni's report. In a column of matter published iu the Gazette's last issue, some ! one, evidently the parent of the i weakly, sickly, bl.-eding. deathly- I pale invalid", who was hit in his! little stomach", proceeds to -give j !. t .1.11 I . 1.

Yet mv every slate ment stands, and can be proven before a jury if need be. One truth he adds which is, "a reporter stands as a juror before the people," tc. For over ten years, I hav.?, in a poor way i possibly, given different papers : the news as I find them, not one I sided, but as near as possible in I the unprejudiced opinion of a juror and I have always been upheld 111 my interpretation of passing events. Even the opinion of a jury, almost without exception, is one sided to him who receives the lean end ol the verdict. I did not take sides with either boy as my article will -he w, but I did call down the pa rent for his little school boy talk and threats, and so I do again, and in doing so, I huvo behind me the better cJenien:- of I he citizens ol s his community.
