PRINCIPLES, NOT HEN.
This was a great rallying cry, in polit
ical campalgna oyer a quarter of a cen
tury ago and should bo today. This
meant, not that the man should bo
overlooked, but that he would be over
shadowed! by the greater principle of
tlio party ho represented. But alas,
thero has been bo much disappointment
and, I might say, disgrace, from tho act
ion of agents supposed to personify great
mcaures, that we are strongly dispoEed
to bo more careful in this later day, in
tho choice of the instruments in the
carrying out of theso great measures of
progress and reform. It will not do, as
was expected of you, to consider every
man who stands for a principle to bo
above, eelfish ambition or 'aggrandize
ment. Today we need prliiciples and
men. We, as much as ever, need to bo
guided by lofty principles, and noble
purposes, but wo must bo more careful
into whoso keeping we entrust the exe
cution of these sacred obligations. Tiie
republican party is sponsor for all the
great, progressive movements in this
couutry for the past thirty years, and wo
are today, as a nation, paying dearly for
the blunder of letting tho reins of gov
ernment slip through that party's hands.
Wo are suffering from a business stagna
tion and depression, unknown in extent,
heretofore, in tho history of our country.
But, thank GoJ, tho remedy is near.
Not too near, however, to prevent hard
ship and even suffering, jTho silent
wheel, tho noiteless workshop, the
closed portals to the former bivrs of in
dustry. Our waning commerce, the
idle artisan, the pale, thlnly'elad mother
and shoeless children. These and a
hundred other direful evidences of our
great mistake, confront us at every hand,
throughout the length and breadth of
this once happy and contented land.
I tie question cl the kind ol money our
people shall get in return for their labor,
is dwarfed, at least for the present, over
shadowed by the fact of getting it at all.
One compensation, however, is ours.
An important lesson has been learned,
And not only to ourselves, making us
the more energetic, more deeply inter
ested in the conduct of our national af
fairs, bnt also to the teachable members
of other parties, who realize at hut, that
the tinio honored traditions and historic
memories of the past, will not release us
from this thraldom, but the restoration
of a living, active principle cf political
economy, and the thirty or mcrothon
1 find newlv made ibv a smart trick) ad
ministration democratic votereTwili he
swept aside like a cobweb before the
avalanche of suffragists, democrats side
by side with republicans, at the coming
national elections, eager to repair a great
injury, and restore to our beloved coun
try the .'genius of onr prosperity, tho
overshadowing principle of the hour,
Protection to American Industry.
The subject is too great for this limited
article, and we turn to the next import
ant question, having the principle be
fore us: who is the man that today
stands before his country pre-eminently
the exponent and embodiment of this
great principle? Of the other parties,
Bland means silver, Cleveland, the op
posite extreme, and Weaver, a wide
range of populistie theories, but protec
tion is McKinley. And this important
fast is echoed from Maine to tho gulf,
from tbe Atlantic to tbc Pacific, in a
clear cut, unmistakable mauner, not to
be mis-interpreted or misunderstood
I am glad to know the republican
party is not a one man party, that all
tho excellence and virtue in the party is
not confined to one man, or that ouly
ono man is Iparchance available s
leader; that its nominations never go
begging, but that we as a party are proud
ol such stalwarts ol republicanism as
Reed, Harrison, Allison, and a scoro of
others, good men and true, strong pro
tective and sound money men, but the
conclusion is inevitable, the man of the
hour and for the exigency is McKinley

The Champion's Belt.
Accordiug to the latest intelligence
from the East, Bob l'itzsimmons is mak
ing preparations to visit England, A
particular friend of Lanky Bob, a resi
dent of this city, received a letter from
"the champion" not very long ago, and
it terminated thusly :
"Yes, friend: I am going to London,
and if Corbett persists in putting
stumbling blocks in my way 1 will do
with him as ho lias done to me. If Peter
Jackson is anything liko what ho was
when we last saw him in this country, I
will turu the championship to Peter.
You know that Jackson has tried every
means to get a return match with Cor
bett, but Artful lames has always
avoided a second meeting with Gentle
inan Peter.
Now, if Jackson i3 in any kind of con
dition. I will transfer thu title I hold to
him, and Corbett must then light Jack
son or get off the earth, 1 had a letter
from I)ndon not very long ago and the
writer said that Jackson was not half us
bad, physically, as the correspondents of
American papers reported him to bo.
Jackson can make a good light yot, and
I have every reason to beliovo that ho
will punch tho head oil' of Corbett if tho
two will ever meet. If Peter suffera de
feat I will meet Corbett. Exchange.

gregation by singing an anthem, which
was appreciated by all.

dress stating who should he Sunday
School scholars ; that the older people
should constitute a large part of the Sun

'AMERICA'S GREATEST.'
'Tis midnight. A dim light is burning
in the Private Den of the Greatest News
paper on Earth. In the middle of the
room stands a table with some strange
looking instruments lying upjn it. On
one side of the room sits Michael Liber,
pen in hand, with great stacks of manu
script piled up before him for the next
issue ; on the other is the steel cage in
which tbe maniac editor impatiently
walks to and fro, jangling his chains and
muttering to himself.
A step is heard, the door opens softly
and Freddie Freshet and E. JlcSweeper
enter, carrying between them the ap
parently lifeless body of a man. The
scribe at the desk looks up from his pa
pers and asks: "What have you there,
slaves?" "A man," answered Mc-
Sweeper "whom we found in the neigh
borhood of Council No. 22, and we sus
pect tuat lie is an A. if. A. will your
Highnes3 please investigate';"
"A. P. A.l" howled the maniac from
his cage, "Ough! let me have his
blood!"
"Silence," commanded the scribe,
lay him on the table, while I examine
into his mental condition."
The limp body wa3 stretched on the
table and the scribe, turning a powerful
X ray upon the victim's brain, spoke as
follows:
"He has views of his own on all ques
tions, especially in politics, and refuses
to be govrrned by political bosses. He
does not believe in the state supporting
any sectarian institutionwhatever, but
believes that our public schools should
be protected. He belieyes in the taxa
tion of all church property. He does
not believe in the enlistment in the army
or navy of any one not a citizen of the
United States. He thinks that the im
portation of pauper labor should be pro
hibited," "Yes," he added, after wip
ing the perspiration from his brow, "he
has strong symptoms of A. P. A.ism,
very strong symptoms. Tnrn him loose,
and I will give him a wnto-up in to
morrow's issue."
fbe scribe returned to his desk;
Freshet and McS weeper lifted the body
from the table and departed, and, save
for the occasional muttering3 from tbe
steel cage, and tho scratch of the pen at
tbc desk, silence prevailed in the Pri
vate Den of the Greatest Newspaper on
Earth, with a circulation of 7,777,777
On the dawning of the second day
after the transpiring of the little .inci
dent jast described, the dead body of a
man was found on tbc pavement. In
one hand he grasped a copy of the
Greatest Newspaper on Earth, and his
glassy eye3 seemed to stare at an art
icle on the top of the page. We recog
nizehimasthe victim of the X ray in
vestigation of two nights before, and tho
article as the promised "write-up." He
had died like the Philistines of old.

Rev. W. E. Ross Scorched.
'A Woman" correspondent of the
Herald of Albany takes Rev. W. E
R033, tho evangelist, to task for some of
his pulpit defemations of her sex. She
says : A stranger in that city would
havo thought from some of his expres
sions that "every other homo was
brothel and the mothers and daughters
thereof, inmates." "A woman" then
reads him a salutary lesson, declaring
that the "City of Abany -holds as many
Christian young men and women as any
city in the Willamette valley, if they do
not cover themselves with iron-clad
an armor as tho Rev. W. K. Ross.

EDITORIAL MADNESS.
"Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad," is an old Greecian
adage that evolving time has made axio
matic. A few months ago, the Review
with a superabundance of self assurance
in its ability to do a little stamping busi
ness, assured its readeis that it would in
short time "stamp out" the few A. P.
.'a in Roseburg. They were, it said, a
lot
of "highbinders" made up of the
scum of society" and it wonld yield up
the ghost under tbe rays from the great
calcium light of "tbe greatest." But
time rolled on, the stamping machine
stamped and stamped and stamped,
and tho more it stamped the more the
highbinders increased ; and that "scum
of society" liko the Irish girl's ecu m on
tbe milk which she threw away that tho
milk might te pure milk, mum," waa
found to be on top, and the pure milk of
the Review began to look a little blue
and is getting bluer all the time. The
fact is, each person who joins the A. P.
A.'s, is at perfect liberty to vote his own
party ticket, and had the Review not
insulted them by its own mad condem
nation of them, every A. P. A. demo
crat (and there are many of them) would
ote tli9 democrat ticket, but after being
abused as they have been by the Review
they will not vote that ticket, and where
they will go to the republican or popu
list parties, or diyide on them it re
mains to be seen. Certain it iu the Re
view that has driven every one from
democracy.
The republican ticket is made up of
good, honest able men, such as we hope
will commend the ticket to their sup
port, though it is morally certain many
democrats of the order will support the
populist ticket.
The Review "has cut off its nose to
pile its face," by its senseless abuse of
this order, verifying the old Greek adage,
Whom the gods would destroy they
first make mad."
Poor Man's rioney.
"Silyer is the poor man's money," is
the free silverite'a cry. Ah, indeed it is,
and free silver coinage wonld grind him
down to the finest degree of poverty, by
reducing the prices of labor, as it has in
all free silver coinage countries, without
lowering at the same ratio the cost o
living. Free silver coinage would drive
half our metal money into hidinc and
thus, instead of increasing the per ccpita
of circulation it would dimish it. Now
gold and silver coins ate interchangeable,
dollar for dollar, and government paper
is at a par with either and possesses the
Bame purchasing power. What more
can tire laboring man ask. What he
most needs is employment. Give him
that and be will laugh at all i?ms.
Michael Liber, the correspondent of
the Review, and who has been under the
ban of the good people of Drain, has as
sumed a new pseudonym and changed
his locality and style of composition.
His last effusion is from Peel and instead
of eolid proso be ha3 assumed to court
tne Sacred Nine ; but, from an overdose
of Irish usquebaugh, he has found in his
wanderings a Bachus instead of either
Apollo or Melpomene of the nine, and
under Bachus' inspiration he pours out
his soul in doggerel. But that takes
with tbe class of men who read the Re
view as classic poetry dees with learned
folk.
New York, Brooklyn and adjoiniug
towns of minor note have been consoli
dated into one mighty city, termed
"Greater New York," This gives New
York a population of 2,9So,422 with a
debtof $2,533,320,329. This consolida
tion was effected by Governor Morton's
signature to the bill passed by the state
legislature. Greater Xew York now
covers an area of3593.i square miles of
territorv. Its population is over eight
time3 that of the entire state of Oregon.
Democrats are trembling in their
boots. A few days ago they were offer

cash on that proposition they back squate
down.
There is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and until the last few years
was supposed to bo incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounce! it in
curable. Science has proven catarrh to
be a constitutional disease, aud there
fore requires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by
F. J. Chenoy & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on tho market.
It is taken internally in doses from 10
drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly
on tho blood and mucous surfaces of Ihe
system. They offer one hundred dollars
for any case it fails to care. Seed for
