We have no deaire in the world to be
offensive or personal but duty demands
that we should speak out with sufficient
!! a.- 1 J x i n., x.
plainness w ue anuvrauwu. . xiie reuu
lican county convention meets in this
city tomorrow. Upon the wisdom of
their choice of delegates to the state con
vention depends largely the success of
the ticket. But mere party success is
relatively nothing when weighed in" the
balance with other interests that are at
stake. Tarty fealty is right enough in
Its place ; but party fealty must be sub
servient to patriotism and devotion to
the interests of our homes and firesides.
The men we send to the state
legisla-fthe
lure muse oe men mat-we can trust.
The delegates to the state convention
mu9t be of the same character. In the
choice of the latter the interests of rival
candidates of county offices should not
enter for a moment. The convention
should sit down flatly on any candidate
who attempts by jobbery or swapping of
votes'to sacrifice the higher interests of
the people to subserve his own. No
tool of the railroad, nor no man even re
motely connected with railroad interests
should go to the state convention.
Wasco county has tried such -and wants
no more of them.
Republicans of The Dalles and Wasco
county should learn wisdom from the
past. Two years ago, next January, we
bad four men to represent us at Salem.
One only, Senator Watkins, represented
bis whole constituency. The other three
represented M. A. Moody and the Union
. Pacific. One of them, unwittingly the
tool of smarter men, nearly jeopardized
the cascade portage bill by forcing an
objectionable name upon it, as one of the
commissioners. Another killed the
dalles portage bill while the former
helped the murder by his vote. When
1 he .Dalles asked a new charter and a
new water bill, both bills had to be
slashed and altered to suit M. A. Moody,
ana the taxpayers of this city were in
formed, practically, they must accept
the bills as Moody had fixed them or-
nothing. Do the people of The Dalles
and Wasco county forget these things?
Then let M. A. Moody name the state
delegates and we 6hall have them re
peated in the next legislature.
The republican convention that meets
fin thistity tomorrow has 76 delegates.
the country and tbe agricultural classes.
The farmers all over the United States
nave been everywhere asking greater
political recognition in the affairs of gov
eminent. Let them demand it here and
. it is entirely their own fault if they do
- not obtain it. No man need go to the
-Btate convention if the farmers of Wasco
countv say he shall not go. Let them
dictate the nominees from among them
selves and leave the wire-pullers at
home. If the Chronicle had its own
way not a polilical boss in Wasco county
would go to tbe state convention. The
interests of the country people are the
interests of the whole community, and
will be perfectly safe in their own hands
Eternal vifrilence is the price of
liberty. A powerful corporation ith
strong local allies will do every thing in
their power to name the state delegates,
and the next Wasco and Sherman
county representatives. A pro-railroad
delegation means no dalles portage and
no opening of the river so far as railroad
influence can prevent them. Now is the
time to strike for our deliverance for all
time from the. grasp of a greedy and
unscrupulous corporation. ." Will the
delegates to the republican convention
be equiu to the occasion !
The most powerful argument we have
- yet heard for closing the worlds fair on
Sundays, was presented last Tuesday to
the senate committee on quadro-cen-
tennial, when a representative of the
Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen,
society numbering 23,000 persons, most'
ly brakemen, pleaded for the observance
of Sunday in - order that railway em
ployes might have an opportunity for
rest. The appeal may pass un headed
but it is only such an one as a purely
secular government could consistently
entertain.
Give the state delegation to the friends
of the railroad, and the enemies of the
people, and the whole county ticket and
. every man on it may go to the bottom
less pit. - - - .'
We have no comment to make at pres
ent on the statement -of county' clerk
Crossen, . published elsewhere in this
issue, further than this, that we deny,
emphatically that we have been publish
ing statements concerning the emolu
ments of the clerk's office for political
effect. The estimates were made partly
from the published official records and
partly from statements made by those
who bad the best possible opportunities I
of knowing all about the matter. The
records for the past four months show
that the clerk received from the county
over $2,600 or over $650- a month,' ex
clusive of fees, for record work, licenses,
etc. The Chronicle need not repeat
that it never hinted or Suspected that
the clerk was receiving a cent' that he
was not lawfully entitled to. But even
accepting the statement of the clerk as
an estimate for the current year the in
come is outrageously high. It is. idle to
say that $2,450 have been paid out for
clerk hire. Mrs. Sampson' and Mr.
Huntington did the work in Geo. H.
Thompson's time and two clerks at $100
a month each can i'.o the work now.
But why should the clerk charge the
Cheonicle with writing for political ef
fect? ' Does Mr. Crossen own the office
or has he a lease of it, that statements
concerning its emoluments should put
his tenure in danger? We cannot think
so and if it is any relief to him or others
we give him the assurance that the edi
tor of this journal is seeking no office in
the gift of the people.
Three things will come before the
next legislature that will demand men
of brains, intelligence, backbone and
honesty. One is a new assessment law,
another a reduction in the fees of clerk
and sheriff of this county, and the third
dalles portage railwav bill. The
last is of infinite importance to the pros
perity of The Dalles as well as Wasco
county and the whole Inland Empire,
ana tne railroad company will move
heaven an earth to defeat it. No man
of doubtful reputation can be trusted
with these interests, especially the last.
At the Clackamas county republican
convention, held on the 23rd inst., reso
lutions were adopted condemning the
mortgage tax law and. favoring a deduc
tion for indebtedness, and no taxing of
credits. The delegates were instructed
to support Binger Hermann for congress
man, in the state convention.
ii the farming classes have wrongs
that need righting it is their own fault,
if their wrongs are not righted. They
have the voting power in their own
bands if they would only stick together
and use it. . ... - .
A nambor of hop growers in the val
ley are trying to get ahead of the dreaded
hop lice without being obliged to spray.
Their method is to introduce a variety
of very early hops, so that they may ma
ture and be gathered before the hop
louse begins its ravages.
Newburg Graphic. A Portland "ordi
nance provides that no saloon shall be
within 400 feet of a public school build
ing. Last week Councilmen Merrick
offered an amendment, placing the in
tervening distance at 300 feet. This
was done to accommodate a saloon
keeper who is located too near a school
house by a few feet. If the ordinance
should fail to pass, the school-house
will, no doubt, be moved to accommo
date the soloon man, provided it can be
located in any other direction where it
will not encroach on some other fellow's
territory. Just what they will do with
the school-houses in Portland in the
near future is liable to become a vexed
question.
All in Peace.
Vancouver, B. C, March 24. A set-
ttleraent ' between the management of
the Canadian Pacific Railroad Company
and striking trainmen was reached yes
terday. What the basis of the settle
ment is cannot be learned. The strikers
have received orders from their chief to
return to work, and the railway officials
have been authorized to reinstate all the
old hands excepting those who have
been guilty of acts of violence. -
Bland Bill Nipped by a Crisp Breeze.
Washington, March 25. After all the
fuss the silver bill is dead. Speaker
Crisp kitled it with his no. Some reallv
fine speeches were made, and that is all,
When it came to a vote to lay on the ta-
table Speaker Crisp asked that his name
be called. The vote then stood 148 to
147. He then cast the deciding vote,
made it a tie, and thus endorsed Cleve
land as a leader. -
