HILTON
GETS HIMSELF IN
TERVIEWED.
The "interview with Senator Hilton,
published in the Times Mountaineer of
yesterday, whatever may have been its
object, leaves unimpeached every state
ment made by the editor of this journal,
concerning the senator's action, during
the meeting of tlie legislature. The fact
is we related only what we saw with our
own eyes and knew to be true, and the
senator's statement is a tacit confession
that it is so. AVe charged him with hav
ing tried to pass the water bill, during
the absence of Senator Watkins, and he
practically admits that he did so, and
this same senator, who could so far for
get his manhood, plays the coward and
lays the whole blame of Mr. Moody's
name being placed on the jwrtage bill,
which if it had been retained would un
doubtedly have secured its defeat, upon
the shoulders of Kepresentative Johns
ton. It may be true that Mr. Johnson was
wholly to blame, we have no means of
knowing ; but we are free to confess we
don't believe a word of it. Mr. Johnston
was used as a catspaw, and now he is
made a soaje goat.
Much that the senator says is beyond
our personal knowledge, and is of very
little imiortance to us or our readers, one
way or other. Facts that transpired in
the sunlight can never be contradicted
by anything alleged to have happened j
in the darkness of a committee room or
the obscurity of a private conference.
'.But the senator would make the
"Dalles lobby" ridiculous and in this
attempt lie has npt only falsified the
facts but dragged in, at least one matter,
he had better have left out. When the
news was first brought to The Dalles, on
a memorable Saturday, that our delega
tion had endangered the passage of the
portage bill, by placing the name of
Mayor Moody in the bill, as one of "the
ommistiioners: when it was learned that
Governor Pennoyer distinctly and em
phatically swore that he would veto the
bill if the name of any private citizen
was in it, there was but one thought
and one purpose (we speak for ourselves
and we lelieve for many . others,) that
took possession of ns. It was to do the
only thing within our power to save the
bill, as we supposed namely, petition
' the legislature to insist "that the
name of secretary McBride be put
in the bill and the name of
no private person whatever be placed
there." The name of Mr. Moody was
not mentioned. Was there anything
wrong in this? If so Mr. Moody has no
truer friends in the Dalles than are some
of those who perpetrated the wrong.
Two hundred and ten persons quickly
signed the petition, and had time per
mitted, ten times that number could
easily have been obtained. Why should
this action of the people of The Dalles be
turned into ridicule by Senator Hilton?
Mr. Moody's name had been put in the
Triil. The Wasco delegation and their
abettors had, on the floor of the house
indignantly resented its being taken out.
The governor had. vowed he would veto
the bill if the name was retained. The
Dalles lobbj' could not and did not
know anything further. They acted as
they did on the knowledge they had and
they would have been traitors to the
people's interests and their own had
they acted otherwise. If it was a
"panic" it was a panic in a noble cause
and no man who signed the petition,
under the circumstances has anyting to
be aBhamed of his action.
Moreover The Dalles lobby had tried
to get a hearing before the committee
on railroads, before they would leave for
home. They were refused. . Senator
Watkins made a special effort to have a
hearing. He also was refused. This
was Thursday. The house would ad
journ next day, noon, until Monday at
two o'clock. By that time, the three
days during which a reconsideration
could be had would have passed. Next
morning (Friday) Mr. Farley- went to
Representative Johnston, and asked him
to move a reconsideration, so that the
secretary of state might be substituted
for the name of Mr. Moody. Mr. Johns
ton said, "Mr. Farley, Mr. Moody's
name remains there or nothing." There
was nothing left, but for the "lobby" to
seek an outsider to make the motion,
Our own representative would do noth
ing. Senator Watkins went to Faquet
of Clackamus The motion was made,
and McCoy and Johnston fought it with
all their might, saying that the commit
tee was amply able to take care of the
bill. The statement that "Mr. Moody
had been before the committee and re-
quested that his name be taken from the
bill'" was not made, nor was anything
said that might be construed that way.
Had such a statement been made the
"lobby" would never have come back to
The Dalles to make fools of themselves.
When Senator Hilton says this state
ment was made, on the floor of the
house, at that time, he states what a
false. It was under these circumstances
the lobby came back from - Salem and
circulated the petition, before referred
to.
One thing more and we leave this mat
ter for the present. Mayor Moody never
appeared, that is to say, voluntarily, be
fore the committee at all, to have his
name stricken out of the bill. He was
sent for and sent for by a member of the
committee who is our informant, and in
stead of demanding that his name , be
stricken off he insisted that it be retained.
HILTON'S FRUGAL USE OF THE
TRUTH.
Senator Hilton tries to make The
Dalles "lobby" ridiculous, by alleging
that when they went down to Salem
with their petitions and appeared before
the house committee on railroads, the
chairman informed them that Mr.
Moody's name had been withdrawn, at
his own request on the previous Thurs
day. The statement is not true. The
writer was present, and Senator Hilton
was not. The petition was never pre
sented. There was no need for it then.
The Dalles "lobby" were not fools.
They soon learned when they got back
to Salem that the Wasco delegation had
got scared, They knew it would not do
to have Mr. Moody's name on the bill,
and they knew they need never come
back to Wasco county, if by any act of
theirs the portage bill was defeated.
Besides if the chairman of the committee
had made the statement the senator
says he made, he would have simply lied.
It is on record that there was a fight
over the retention of Mr. Moody's name
the very next day. on the floor of the
house, and on that same day Kepresen
tative Johnston informed a member of
the lobby that "Mr. Moody's name re
mained there or nothing.
CHEAP SUGAR.
Less than three weeks from now, on
the first of April, the section of the Mc
Kinley hill relating to the duties on
sugar goes into effect. Heretofore the
duty on raw sugar from which our refi
ned sugars are made has been 2 Jo to 2?
cents a pound and 1 cents on the
lower grades. The sugar refiners have
had to pay these duties and of course
they charged them to the merchants who
in turn charged them to the consumer.
The new tariff law abolishes all duty on
raw sugar. Under the old law the duty
on refined sugar was 3 to 3,li cents a
pound. The new law reduces it to a
cent and wipes out a sugar tax of over
sixty millions a year, which came out of
the pockets of the people, for in this in
stance "the tariff was a tax." The
McKinley law provided also that sugar
might be imported, refined and placed
in bond against the first of April, with
out the payment of duty. At that date,
therefore the full benefit of the reduc
tion, amounting to 33 to 40 per cent ad
valorem, or 2 to 1:x cents A pound,
should be realized by the consumer.
The people should not have to wait till
old stocks of sugar on which the duty
was paid are worked off. Whatever
men may think about other features
of the McKinley law, the repeal of the
duty on sugar is sure- to be generally
popular.
CON SOLI DA TION.
The question of the consolidation'
of the . three cities of Portland.
East Portland and Albina into
one municipal corporation which is soon
to be submitted to the vote of the peo
ple concerned, is none of our right, but
as a citizen of this state, and .deeply in
terested in everything connected, with
her advancement and glory, we sincerely
hope that nothing may bar the way to
the accomplishment of consolidation.
We should feel proud to be able to say
that the metropolis of our own Oregon
is the greatest city in the northwest, in
the matter of population as she most un
doubtedly is in everything else that goes
to make the sum of a city's greatness.

The average mind can plainly see that
Jay Gould's purse hgured largely to se
cure the defeat of the bill providing $400,-
000 for a portage railroad at The Dalles
and Celilo. - The defeat of this bill means
for th Eastern Oregon merchants to pay
the rates dictated to them by the U. P.,
system until the next legislature session
convenes. Long Creek Eagle.
