GERRYMANDER GRAZE.
Yery Popular Style This Year for Pre-
seryins:
NEW YORK, M1SS10URI AND OHIO.
A Refined System of Political Theft on
0 Both Party Sides.
ROMKTHLNG JBBRY MIGHT ADMIRE
Dashing . and De6nt Kalcls Upon the
Electors Privileges in Certain
' States.
; .Wabhington,- -.June .13. The gerry
mander was never apparently more pop
ular than it is , this year. In Missouri
the democrats applied it to the reap
portionment of the state .into congres
sional districts with a sweet disregard
for decency and common fairness. A
few weeks later the republicans of Ohio
followed the Missouri example and pro
vided for the ruthless 'disfranchisement
of democrats. ' Although the latter in
the coming election are reasonably cer
tain to poll about half of the total vote
they will probably elect less than a third
of the congressional delegation from that
state. . . The republicans, polling .sub
stantially the other half of the total vote,
will get the rest. , New York then fell a
victim to this refined system of political
theft..-.. . ;Her . democratic . legislature
mapped out a plan, of electoral brigand
age which the late Mr. Gerry, were he
alive.to. see it, would be compelled to
admire, the advancement of his idea. . It
comprehends a daslung and defiant raid
on republican rights, and will enrich the
democratic road agents with the spoil of
half a dozen, seats in congress that in
-justice belong to the other, party. - .This
plan may differ in detail from the ac
complished work of the Missouri and
Ohio artists in political : spoliation, but
in principle it is the saate. ' It is thor
oughly bad and intolerably offensive to
the spirit of our institutions. Yet it
passes practically unchallenged, save by
those whom it proposes to despoil, and
their voice is raised agains( the injury
rather than against the ' vicious system.
But the "gerrymander must go. Its con
tinuance is a menace to popular governr
ment and a standing, invitation to revo
lution.' It nullifies the citizen's fran
chise and stifles his voice in public
affairs. . It encourages political trusts
and strengthens the hands of ; the boss
and his heelers. . v:? .
' ' The Kfggest Lake Steamer. .
Chicago,. June 13. Manager Babcock
had issued, invitations and several, thou
sand people were present today' in the
yards of the Chicago shipbuilding com
pany on the Calumet to witness the
launch of the great steel : steamer Mari
tana, the largest on fresh' water. There
was no accident,- and the new craft took
to her natural element - with as much
grace as possible in a side .launch. , The
Maritana is the property ot the ' Mine
sota steamship company sand is very
much like the Marina, but much larger.
Designed as a business boat and conse
quently a' carrier, the model, neverthe
less shows great symentry. The lines
are easy and beautiful, and the bow and
Stern are especially ( fine. . The' dimens
ions are as .follows : 1 Length of keel,. 330
feet; length over all, 348 feet; breadth
of beam"; 45 feet f depth of hold 24 f eet.
She lias triple expansion- engines, 24, 39,
and 63 inches, with 48 '""inches - stroke,
steam being furnished from three 12 by
12 feet steel boilers, under y 160 pounds
pressure. , AVitlvthe present low stage ot
water from Lakp Superior, the new craft
will carry about 3,000 tons and her speed
wil be about;14 miles an bour.f In out
fit the MariUoa will have all he latest
.and most improved machinery: for., the
quick handling of freight, and she will
be lighted -throughout , by electricity.
The cost of the new craft complete is
$250,000: ' f -v.w'j l i

. ,i -The Hand or Jossph. ,
- Oregonian. Had the state of Oregon
been properly represented at Minneit
polis its votes would have been cast for
Harrison., .Seven of them . were cast for
McKinley,. but this was a. ) subterfuge.'
MeKtnley is a great, and : worthy man,
but he was not a candidate, and the Ore
gon delegates knew it., .They were not
actuated by a wish to nominate McKin
ley, but by a wish-to -defeat: Harrison,
And this wish to defeat Harrison bad no
proper motive. Why Mr. Simon wished
to defeat him is well enough understood.
That the whole delegation, with one ex
ception, allowed his wish to prevail,
against the well-known sentiments of
the republicans of Oregon, is not credi
table to them. ' Had it been thought
necessary, a resolution instructing the
delegation to support - Harrison ' would
have, been passed through the Oregon
convention, with no opposition. Mr.
Simon had a fine opportunity to show a
magnanimous spirit, but he - did not
avail himself of it. An opportunity like
this doesn't come to a man often, and it
ought not to be thrown away. If. Mr.
Simon, instead of making a futile effort
to obtain revenge,- had acted with mag
nanimity, all Oregon would have taken
note of the act, and the republicans of
Oregon: would have been represented
rightly at Minneapolis. ' ; -
Use of Search' Lights,
i Washixgtov, June 13. One of the
most effective means of protecting a ship
in these days of torpedos, is the - group
ing together of a number of stationary
search lights, each illuminating its "own
section so that the ship is surrounded by
an unbroken circle of light. It Is to be
adopted in the new American warships.
This has been suggested by a very pro
nounced defect in the usual search light
practice. In order , to afford sufficient
time for a careful . examination of the
water's surface at points removed from
the ship, the beam of light must be re
volved very slowly, and hence during a
great portion of. the time any particu
lar section of the water is left in dark
ness. As it takes only five' minutes . for
a torpedo boat to run a distance of two
miles, it will be Been that the condi
tions are all in favor of -the attacking
force. Before the ' revolution of the
search light is completed there is plenty
of time for the torpedo boat to" run up
and discharge her deadly weapons.
Apparently Unrelated Phenomena. .
Washington, June 13. Now that Bol
ivia is on the eve of a revolution, savants
think it might be worth' while for some
of our scientific people to conduct! a
series of observations in South American
revolutions. Chile, Brazil (2), Venzuela,
Colombia, Bolivia, with Peru, Argen
tine, Uruguay and Patagonia yet to hear
from. Simultaneously with these dis
turbances came an exceedingly large
sun. spot, an eight tailed comet, the. oc
cultatioir. os Jupiter, ditto of Venus,
and the ' reappearance of that olumed
political comet, J. U. B.. whose, orbit
and motions generally are so uncertain.
It is possible that some connection mav
be discovered to exist between on etr
more ..of., these, apparently unrelated
phenomena.
Sound American Policy.
, Astorian. The folly ot Cleveland and
his adherents an the Timea snd pvoninn
Post in trying-to fight the McKinley
tarin . nere, when it bas just won so
splendid a triumnh 1 over the official free
traders of England is simply political
madneae. Lord Salisbury's speech,
when. it iis fully, understood by .the
American Debnle. 'will 'kill Cleveland's
chances as effectually as . his free trade
message did four years ago, - It has been
the fixed policy of the United States,
ever since the revolutionary war, that
what is good for England-must., be bad
for this republic and- ; what is bad
for En eland must be to our advantiure.
The McKinley tariff has injured Eng-
lana as greatly as it has benefitted us
Therefore it is sound American .policy. '

A Cyclone of Public Hatred to Drve
John oat of Town..
PSOHINENT CHURCH PKOfLK IN IT.
The City to be Districted and Worked
, for all There is in it, as Vigi
lence Committees..
Chicago,, June 13. New York city
has set a precedent to combat the vices
of the Chinese criminal element, which
must sooner or later be considered else
where. This crusade has been started'
by labor organizations, and it is their
purpose to arouse against the Mongolian
such a cyclone of public hatred as" will
drive him from the town. At the bot
tom of the movement is the well-known
leader of the Women's National League,
ancLit is she who bas brought the mat
ter before the Central labor union, and
tjiat organization has enlisted as coad
jutors many . prominent church people
and men and women who take to them
selves the duty of reforming the wicked'
of Gotham. All these elements of re
form are consolidated under the New
York anti-Chjneee League. The city
will be divided into inspection ' districts
corresponding to assembly districts, and
to each there will be assigned three in
spectors, to lie known .as a vigilance
committee. It is to be the duty of each
committee to watch the Chinese in its
respective district, aud ascertain to what
extent they are corrupting youth, and to
ferret out the opium joints, and learn
where opium is being vended. They are "
to report each' week to the executive
committee of the league, who will re-
d,uce the information to legal form, and
prepare affidavits setting forth specific
charges against the .Chinese: It is in
tended to keep -up this work for three
months, at the end of which time proper -
steps will be taken to bring the matter-
before the local authorities. '

. Letting; Oregon Down Easy.
Chicago, June 13. According to air
order issued from Director Davis, Satur
day was the limit of time for state com
missions to accept . sites and present
plans for their state worlds fair build
ings. . In some cases the recent organi
zation of the commission has rendered
impossible a literal compliance with the
order, but up to the close of business at
5 o'clock thirty-four states were in line.
One-half of the. states beginning with
the letter Or (Ohio,) is : included in the-
list. - California and V asmncrton. of the-
Pacific coast states,, are also included.
Idaho is ready to go ahead with work on
its state headquarters as soon as some
little objection to the. site .assigned can
be remedied. Altogether tbe showing
is taken to indicate wide-spread interest'
in the state branch of exposition work.
