'' " v' THE BATTLE OF THE I8SUE8 In the Republican ' party just now wages a battle between revisionists and. reciprocity advocate, and those who would provent alteration in the tariff schedules. In the Democratic party wages a bat tle between "antl-ImperlaJlBts and thoan who believe in legitimate expansion of the country's commerce and the courage ous addressing Of the Nation to the tasks that events have set ua as a people; aa well as a contest between reactionaries who would devote all of the time to quar relling over tha issues of the past, and those who-with hope for the future pro pose that attention shall be given the living present and to what Is to come. Branching -out from these lines of cleavage are laterals that are caused by personal ambitions and Issues of less importance. But these represent the situation of each party at this time. Xair-mlnded men will admit ' that the differences that divide Republicans are not leas strenuous than those' that are separating Democrats. The contest Is bit ttr. Indeed, and only divine prophecy could foretell what will be the Issue. Upon the theory that the dominant party In large measure determines what must be the policy of the opposition, the attitude of the Democratic party must in the very nature of the case be uncer tain for some time to come.

Therefore those -who were per tnltted to buy school lands on the reserve area will be entitled to select those 'other land. Suppose, then, that certain tracts of school lands were practically worth less. It is decidedly to the advantage of the purchaser that he will be legally en titled to select other and vauable lands to replace those he owned which are taken over by the general Government. It may be by coincidence that these things otcur. If it was, then. Fortune was kind to the gentlemen who chanced to purchase those valueless school lands Im mediately prior to the announcement that there was to be a forest reserve in East era Oregon.

For it is apparent that only. through the manipu lation of politicians could such pro nouncement be made by a National con vention. The people- would not Indorse It. Too, Cuban reciprocity and reclpro city with other nations must be recog nized by the status of things eommefc cial throughout the world. ? Contra, the Democratio party must set tle rightly the chief issues; -that' now agi tate It. There must be no retroactive policy upon the Philippines, nor' any con siderable quarrelling over the matter of who is to be leader Mr, Cleveland or Mr. Bryan. It is probably true that nei ther of these politicians will yield ground, unless, perchance, there be some force crteAandheyjiriihroKajJut to make room for -others who care more for the future than for the dead past. Both parties have Just now Interesting ONE WOMAN'S MISSION. Mrs. Richard Henry Stoddard, wife of the poet, died the other day in New York, ending a beautiful life of devotion to her husband, ana leaving him groping in darkness he is blind awaiting the time when he Khali join her to continue their love-making throughout an eternity It was a well-mated couple. They lived together for more than half a century. More than SO years ago they were sweet hearts and they were sweethearts when she died. They were as tender sweet hearts as when her cheeks were rosy and her face was round and fair. Stoddard is a poet, a strong, .virile writ er, a producer of good literature. She was his eyes with which he saw the world. She thought her mission enough to absorb the years of her long life of 19. ' She was content to assist him, to give whut his closed eyes lacked, the sight of things beautiful, and that he saw taught by her loving descriptions. Perhaps her life appeuls not to the modern woman as something to emulate. She belonged to the past. She did hot catch the inspiration of those grand women who scorn the simple loves that animated people once, before advanced lilt n took possession of the mlnde of womanhood. She is probably pitied by women who have a mission more in keep ing with the views of the new woman. Yet We cannot avoid pausing to give a thought to one woman who was a jjweet- heart to her husband according to the cld-fashloned conceptions. Pity her for losing , the drift of the ages toward higher attainments that spur womanhood today, but we must concede that there la beauty In the life of the wife who gave eweet devotion to her helpmeet and who held to her attainment after half a cycle had gone.

It is passing strange that the people of the state must depend solely upon Democratic newspapers for the. news re garding the candidate for the United to ask the members of the coming Legislature to vote for them. In quarters, whence ordinarily would issue statement of fact or alleged fact, is deep, deep silence. Not a sound Is beard excepting the ut terance of soft compliments for the ur bane, genial United State? Senator who appears to wield ho groat power Just now in the councils of the Republican party. In the case of a prominent news paper that has complete machinery at command for the aiBsemliiutlon of in formation and comment, there is an ab sence of even the slightest reference to the important matter of the coming elec tion, and scarcely has been made one allusion to the issues that may come before ' the Legislature in January. In view of the fact that H. W. Scott has received frequent mention for the United States Senate the silence is In terpreted as quasl-concession that he Is a candidate. Most candidates prefer to saw wood rather than to talk. OREGON PRE88 ASSOCIATION. The Oregon Editors are In session at Yaqulna Day. May they enjoy the needed rest they deserve, .and come away re freshed for tho duties of the ensuing year. There are matters that may be consid ered to the good of the profession, and the betterment .conditions affecting the business of publishing and selling news papers. Representative newspaper men may do that which will advance the In terests of the craft, if they properly con ceive the functions of the organisation of which they are members who are now at Newport. It will be well if they keep out of poll tics, however, and avoid entering that lie! 5 as an organization. The newspapers have bs one of their tasks the prevention of special legislation so often attempted In this and other stales, and. If the of ficial body of Oregon newspaper men en fcago In work of political character, ask ing for special enactments 'for their own benefit, then do they lose force when counseling the Legislature not to give It to others. THE SUMMER BOARDER. "Air you folks reckonln' on. takin boarders this summer, Luke?" Inquired Seth Turnlptop of Luke Leatherbottom when the two men the other Saturday at the Postofflctt.

It s safe bet that the average SCHOOL LANDS WERE TAKEN. Much is to be Bald on each side anent the proposed Eastern Oregon forest re serve. It Is a complicated question. In getting at the facts, some peculiar and significant things are found. For, instance: Certain well-informed men thought to buy school lands so soon aa the an nouncement was made that there might be a reserve, but they found that all or practically all of the school land was al ready taken.-: '.v The Inference Is that favoritism was shown by those who are. In official posi tions. Of course, some one would even, tually get those lands. But, It would appear that everyone should have had equal chance with all others. The state ment Is made to The Journal by repu table cltlrens , that these school lands were actually taken before the reserva tion was even suggested to the public, so that only those who war "on the in- - 4 NO ONE IS NECESSARY It is In no spirit of deprecation of the Important position that is occupied by James J. Hill in the railroad, commercial and financial world, yet It is true that he can bo spared from the ranks of ac tive men without any cataclysms ensu ing. This, world Is too big and there are too many peope in it to make any one man necessary to the continued running of the social machinery. Mr. Hill said at Davenport the other day: "1 am an old man and must hurry If I accompish all I set out to accomplish when I began my career." And at once numerous writers wrote discourses to the effect that things would suddenly stop were Mr. Hill to be ttfken from the list of active managers. It is well for people to know that they are not all-Important In thle world. Men of vast Interests, controlling the con cerns or. gigantic i enterprises or the af fairs of nations, die and leave only a rip ple upon the sea of human life as they disappear, and the great world goes on to forget thr-y lived, or, at best, to remem ber them only In moments of leisure when they are not engaged with the business of everyday life. It Was that way' when President Mc Kinley tell at the hands of tho assassin. Czolgosz. True, the world devoted time to honoring his memory, but affairs moved on much as though there ' had never been a tragedy so awful which teak A BACHELOR'S PHILOSOPHY. Truth may be slow, but it is sure footed. Lots of girls get married merely to gratify their curiosity. No artist has ever been inspired to paint a bald-headed angel. A lasy man never gets ahead unless some one puts a head on htm. The average man is charitable toward all women except his wife. It Is often convenient to have a small boy around to blame things on. Theology is to religion what a fash Ion plute is to an old suit of clothes. A pessimist has no use for a person who Is afflicted with chronic mirthful- ness.

"Not alt the firms joining in this ex traordinary exodus are members of the Reciprocity League.

"This Is the document: " 'Gentlemen Replying to your letter of the. 27th ult , which came to hand during the writer's absence, we desire to say: We are not at all interested in the work of' your league; we 'do not desire reciprocity.' and are perfectly In different as to whether the duties are raised or lowered on goods coming into this country. We have felt It, to be much more to our interest to stand on our own bottom in this and collateral questions, rather than to wait the slow movement and whimsical fancies of the low-grade talent we send to Washington to make laws for us. It Is high time that the business people repudiated the lawmaking powers as in adjunct to their business. We have recently pur chased & large plant at Toronto, which we have started up for the manufacture of our line of goods to be sold In Can ada. It is Our purpose to greatly- en large this plant to accommodate our ex port trade, as we can export goods from Canadian ports on much better terms than we Can from the United States ports, particularly for the Russian trade. In the opinion of the writer, it is only a question of time when other manu facturing concerns In our line will be compelled to manufacture their goods in Canada, In -order to place themselves on an equal footing in the general trade. I do not think that people who remain In the United States to manufacture will be able to get any relief from existing conditions until such time as we find ourselves face to face with a large pro duct and no sale of it. Yours truly, '"P. B. KENASTON. '"June 6, 1802.' ADVOCATES FAIR TRADE. "The problem that confronts the country is very plain,' B&ld. A. B. Hullt, secretary of the Reciprocity Leaaue. yesterday. 'It amounts to simply this: Are we going to lose the immense ex port trade that we have' built up since 1S92 because we are unwilling to be de cent and fair with the countries from whom we have received so much cus tom? Take the case of Russia, for ex ample. Secretary Gage, at the behest of the beet-sugar people, Imposed a countervailing duty upon the beet-sugar exported to this country by Russia, a. practically prohibitive tariff. The value of this product exported hither in 1891 WH only 1718,518. The Secretary's ac tion -wasr-unjust and unnecessary. The result was that Russia promptly re taliated by discriminating heavily' agains American machinery. We knock a full-grown industry in the head in order to protect another infant. But the operation Is likely to prove disas trous. In 1892 our exports In machin ery to Russia were valued at only $185, 897. Last year they reached a value of $2,178,811. Must we go back to the first nsurv ior me oenent or an unreason able clique? . BENEFIT IN FRENCH TREATY. 'Business men In every section of the country say that if the tariff treaty with France, now In the hands of Con gress, falls of ratification, the result will be a wholesale emigration of our manufacturing , interests to Canada. How can the ratification fall? is the Republican party absolutely blind, or gone mad? Is it possible that anybody with a penny at stake does not realise the tremenduous preponderance of the Denents that will accrue to him if the treaty Is ratified, compared to those we are asked t grant France in return ?
