T Ti AN" APPALLING PICTURE which the Ore
onian draws of the penjs wrhich would threaten
the nation in the event that John M. Gearin should
be returned to Washington, for six years more as senator
from Oregon. The Democratic senator may at any
'time have it within, his pWer to decide absolutely the
ifate Of any given Republican .policy and thus, himself
defeat the whole purpose for which the Republican party
Is maintained" is the gloomy prediction 01 tne y re
: conian this morninflr. and it. proceeds with a disquisition
on the i "grave consequences of electing a Democratic
senator and Democratic -governor at a time when is
sues of profound moment are to be decided by Inebria
tion." : . T.'.-'
Th rrvest Issu now before the
The Republican party js the exponent of the theory of
high tariff, while one bf the fundamental principles of
the Democratic party is tariff for revenue only. Sen
ator Gearin stands with his party in earnestly advocat
ing a reduction of the oppressive duties under which the
'nation groans. ? . -
f Only three days ago. In an 'editorial discussing the
proposal to remit all duties on building materials des
tined for San Fuaimisco, the Oregonian made these
statements' "The hiehost interests
'require that nobody should receive the. special favor ol
protection' of gQyernment Special interests dd receive
' " such special favor pd protection. The situation et
San Francisco strips the ' pretense "from the-system.
, Why should 'protective': .duties be suspended at San
'- Francisco? , Because, the situation there shows and
proves, that the system is oppressive. But it js not the
earthquake and fire that make it oppressive. It is op
' pressive through its own nature, and operation. , The sys
tem enables one Sort, class, set or description of citizens
to make profits out of others. Hence, our enormons
and evej increasing purse-proud aristocracy. 'Let
the foreign materials, then, into San Francisco free
Such a lesson it wo'uTd be against the trust combination
ur Country, under cover of protection, which piles
up fortunes .for individuals and increases year by year
the crop of millionaires and plutocrats." . j.
- Ilolding these views, the one logical course for the
Oregonian is to support John: M. Gearin for United
States senator. Every one knows that if Senator Gearin
had it in his power to "decide the fate of the Republican
policy" of a high protective tariff, he would do his ut
most, by his vote and his -influence, to overthrow 'it-.'

THE GOOD RAILROAD WORK. X'X.X
TN THE WORK of affording immediate relief to the
terribly stricken people of San Francisco, no other
agency nor indeed all .combined,"
, p mucn as tne Douwern racmc rauroaa, ana it nas per
formed its duty thoroughly and nobly. ' Fortunately Mr.
Harriman himself was on the ground, and could see
V what had happened and direct the operations of railroad
. relief in person. : Like Jim Bludsoe, "he saw his' duty, a
; lead sure thing, and.went.for it thar and then." -
; In no part of the country has the Southern Pacific
' been so bitterly and persistently assailed as in California,
: and especially in' San Francisco, Jind.it must be acknowl
edged that there has been ground enough for much of
; the severe censure uttered, but whatever may have been
the wrongdoings of that company they are for the pres
' ent forgiven and forgotten, in view of the inestimable
' services rendered. . Its contribution in such services, in-
eluding a large personal donation by Mr. Harriman,
'. amounts to $1,500,000, not relatively greater, perhaps,
considered in dollars, than that of some others, but upon
the promptitude, the efficiency and' the. spontaneity of
the service a money value caonot be put. Perhaps any
. Other railroad president or head fould have, done the
same, but Mr. Harriman did it, and deserves all the credit
for it that isbeing accorded him. ' V ? " .,".. s-

SPEAKING of the San Francisco disaster, the Cin
- cinnati Commercial Tribune says: "It is a repe
tition of the story of the destruction of Charles
ton on a larger scale, with the added trouble in the case
of San Francisco that there are n'o neighboring cities
capable of rendering the aid required. In fact there is no
"'neighboring city that is not, itself, tinder the dreadful af-
fliction visiting the California coast" , .
. This betrays an igorance that considering its source,
a leading paper of a large city, is astonishing. ' In
these days one. city does not have to be very near another
in order to render assistance, without great delay, and in
fact there are probably more towns in. California south
of the Siskiyou mountains and without counting -Lqj; An
y geles, capable of rendering assistance than there were
, anywhere near Charleston m 1886.
But the Cincinnati paper goes, on
. .a...... t ,).. r..:r;
the extinct volcanoes of the Facific "coast are likely to
become active. It speaks particularly of Mount Rainier,
"in Oregon,suddenly becoming active" and says that its
"suddep activity is probably sympathetic with the violent
eruptions of Vesuvius. If so, there is a chain of active
fires encircling the earth within and liable, at any moment,
to give vent to fire and lava and to cause ML Shasta and
the Mexican "and South American volcanoes to take on
Activity." -. "-. ;;. ' .. ..' : , ' . " ,

country, about It miles below the mouth
of the Lewis river. Immediately on our
arrival Yellept, who proved to be a man
of much Influence, not only In his own
but In the neighboring nations, collected
the inhabitants, and having made a har
angue, tho purport of which was to In
duce the" nations to treat ua hospitably,
he set them an example by bringing
himself a armful Of wood, and a plat
ter containing three roasted mullets.
They Immediately assented to one part,
at least, of the recommendHttqn, by
furnishing us with an abundance of the
only sort of fuel they employ, the
stems of shrubs growing In the plains.
We then purchased four dogs, on which
we supped heartily, having been on
ehort allowance for two days past.
When we wets disposed to sleep the
Indians retired Immediately on our re
quest, and, indeed, uniformly conduct
ed themselves with great propriety.
These people live on roots, which are
very abundant .on the plains, and catch
a few salmon-trout, but at present
they seem to subsist chiefly on a spe
cies of mullet, 'weighing from one tj
three pounds. They informed us that
oprxwlt the village there was route
which led to the mouth ot the Koos
kooskee, on the south side of Lewie'
river, thst the road itaelf was good,
snd papsed over level country well
supplied with water and areas, and that
we would meet with plenty of dear
and antelope. We knew-that a road In
that direction would ehorten the dis
tance at least SO miles, and as the
report of our guide was confirmed by
Tellept snd other Indians we did not
hesitate to adopt that course. They
added, however, that there wre no
houses or perroariant residences of -Indians
on the . road; It was therefore
deemed prudent not to trust wholly to

A Pittsburg professor is also quoted as saying: "The
whole "western coast is honeycombed with caverns and
volcanoes. Not 20 years ago a volcano actually ap
peared in San Francisco bay. I think the peril of all that
coast is great. Mount Rainier's eruption is tremendous,
comparatively, and is enormously significant. There is
the greatest connection between the earthquake and re
cent private reports which have come to me of volcanic
activity on the part of Mount Rainier.' I look or a pe
riod ot tremendous and destructive volcanic activity.
No wonder Tacoma is mad, particularly because he
uses the name "(Rainier" instead, of 'Tacoma." This
professor's prediction is worth just about as much as his
information about the present volcanic activity of. Mount
Rainier. . Jt has been as quiet as a mouse. .' , '
" FARMING IN MANCHURIA.
MANCHURIA, lately the scene f the terrible con
. flict between Japan and Russia, and now rid of
both armiesis, according to a report ol Con-sul-General
Sammons at Niuchwang, an ideal farming
country, and in thejrocess of development that is" be
ginning in China may provide a large market in the fu
ture for American agricultural " implements and ma
chiery, though as yet the inhabitants prefer the- old
fashioned tools and methods, and their education in the
matter of larger and better farming must be slow.'
. Mo'dernfarm implements are practically unknown in
that great province, and even progressive Chinese of
ficials and business men say that the country is not yet
ready for them, and that implements and devices (ri use
in the United States 25 or. 50 or "even 75 years ago are
more suitable to the Chinese than itp todate tools. That
is, they must make, progress slowly. .
For years the crowded provinces of China have been
disgorging, their surplus population, into Manchuria,
where land could be had at merely nominal prices, less
than thecost of government land inhis country years
ago, but the inhabitants will asyet farm only in the
primitive fashion. Some years ago a modern plow was
sent thereto introduce that implement, but the-natives
could not be induced to try it. They use a small cast
iron plow, resembling a toy pattern of an American corn
hiller, or preferably a fork, hung' like a hoe, weighing
four pounds and costing -60 cents in gold. And-their
Other farm implements are equally primitive.
Necessarily the capital or surplus savings of the aver
age Manchurian farmer is small, and he is hereditarily
opposed to change, so that the introduction of modern
farm 'implements must be very gradual, yet once im
proved methods' get jr good foothold, progress should
be rapid." ... ' .;...-.
X " SAN FRANCISCO'S CHINATOWN.
A MATTER of minor interest in the rebuilding and
repopulation of San Francisco is the future dis
position of its Chinatown, comprising the largest
single Chinese settlement outside of China. One -.result
will be that the city's Chinese population will be con
siderably reduced, for it is expected that a large propor
tion of the Chinese will migrate, to other cities, prin
cipally to New York, where many of them will .remain.
As to the "remainder, the Chinatown of San Francises.
occupying 4en blocks in the heart of the city and-cmeT
of the city s lights to eastern tourists, unless most of
the ground is owned or held by very long-time leases
by Chinamen, will have disappeared forever. " ,
It is reported that a site right? along the beach, near
but outside the main city, wHTbe purchased by a syn
dicate composed mostly of Hongkong merchants, where
the future Chinese city will be built. It cannot now be
a large or a growing one, for except for Chinese-Americans
that race, under the exclusion law, must in time
become practically extinct in this country; but for a
number of years there will be a considerable Chinese set
tlement in or near San Francisco. It will not, how

VARIATIONS IN THE VOTE.
FEATURE of the contest as between
and Mr. Bourne is the widely variant
received in several counties. For ex
Umatilla County was: Cake, '337;
majority, 149. - Yet in Union, an ad
vote was: Bourne, 462; Cake, 294;
168. Take another illustration; The
wasr Bourne. 1.407: Cake. 440:
967. But in Polk county the vote
. - 101. r.i... : . if
Bourne, 183; Cake's majority, 137.
Coos, Crook arid Jackson went heavily considering the
light and divided vote for Bourne; while in Tillamook,
Washington, Marion and Linn Cake beat Bourne consid
erably. Since in some counties and in the whole state
the vote was pretty evenly divided, why should Other
counties have voted so differently? But of air of them
the greatest , surprise appears in Clackamas, where
Bourne's big majority of nearly 1,000 over Cake was de
cisive of the contest.
THE PLAY
' Clyde Fitch Is always interestlngTind
he never wrote a more Interesting play
than "The Woman In the Case." which
was presented by a capable company be
fore an enthueiastlo audience at the
Hems' theatre last night. The play shows
the sharply drawn characters and con
tains t he spicy, pungent dialogue that
have Made Fitch famous. And. as In the
case of some-other of his works, the
brightest speeches are given to the
stupldeet people. .Witness the - smart
things the simpering- Elsie Brewster Is
made to say.
There kre unusual situations In -"The
Woman. In the Case" and.. the plot Is
uncommon. Julian Rolfe la accused of
ths murder of "his dearest friend, Phil
Long, the accusing witness being a
woman named Claire Foster, who seeks
vengeance because Rolfe prevented his
friend from marrying her. There Is a
heart-rending scene when the police take
Rolfe to prlann. Mrs. Rolfe played by
Blanche Walsh. In order to save her hus
band, lives In the earns house with Claire
Foster, becomea Intimate with her Snd
as the climax to the third act makes her
con reunion that Long killed himself.
To those who had seen Miss Walsh In
other plays her appearance last night
was somewhat disappointing. She Is
not so llths as shs was and It doean't
help her In a pert such as she essays
In ."The Woman in the Case." This wss

orado Fuel ft . Iron, which was sold
heavily and lost over $7 a share during
ths day.

nles are the principal holdera of the se
curities listed on the' New Tork ex
change and in order to pay their losses
In San Francisco they will be compelled
to sacrifice a large amount of stock.
Of lets the publlo has fought shy of the
