A WORK FOR OREGON. The republicans of Oregon, the ma jority of them, have said to Joe Si mon in plain language, that they do not want him any longer in ofilcial po sition; that they do not believe in him and that they wish him to "go way back and sit down." Mr. Simon, in the face of this posi tive announcement, persists in tak ing a front seat on the political band wagon and guiding it as heretofore. It remains for the republicans in the state convention to say to him, in no uncertain voice, the same that was said at the primary polls in Portland. Joseph Simon is of that temper ment that he does not know when he is "out of touch." No one doubts his ability, but there are abundance of doubt as to his intentions and there are abundance of reasons for mis trusting him as a public servant. In short, and in fact, politics in Oregon have been made black, in truth, have been prostituted by Jo seph Simon and those whom he has called to serve him in a majority of cases. In nothng that Sir. Simon has ac complished politically can we lind that iif has served the people of Ore gon, or the state itself, but in every thing, we hear the voice of Jacob and feel the hand of Esau. He has be come a political misfit, and he must step aside and leave the public work to be done by more unselfish and patriotic hands. But, now that Joseph Simon is un horsed, it is tp be hoped that no one of like calibre of mental temperament is to succeed him. There is one man in Oregon and one only who should succeed him in the United Stales sen ate, and that man has decency enough, and sense enough and modes ty enough to refuse to shove himself forward into ofllce." He oven refuses to announce himself for the ofllce of senator, although there is no man in the state so well equipped to repre sent Oregon in the upper house of congress. In other words, if this man, H. W. Scott, becomes senator the office will have to bo thrust upon him by the legislature backed up by the people of the whole state regardless of politics. Mr. Scott deserves the honor; it would become him; he would do the state honor in the office, for his in dividuality is such that the nation would know that Oregon was repre sented in the senate of the United States. In other words, as a senator Oregon would have a "standing ad" among national legislators. Harvey W. Scott knows Oregon, breathes the spirit of the Oregon country and flills every demand of the state for a typical represontatlvo in the halls of congress. -Where is Sir. Scott's equal for the position? Is thero another man in tho state so well equipped at this particular time? What a mole hill is to Slount Hood. Joe Simon is to Harvey Scott. Tho newspapers of Oregon, every one of them, li'ttlo and big, straight and crooked, can afford to raiso their voices for Sir. Scott for senator. To do so would bo to stamp tho presB of tho stato ns extraordinary, as free from projudico and party bias and willing to lay aside all personal feel ing, which may or may not exist, to give Oregon tho service of a fit man, to exalt tho stato and to honor a son of the great commonwealth one who sprung from her Bide and is In truth her son! Is thero a newspaper man In Ore gon who will deny tho truth of these remarks, who Is so tied down to his own that ho cannot niiso IiIb voice in Itohnlf of one who Js entitled to his applause, and, who, if ho is so choseni will do what he can for Oregon with no thought of rewarding friend or punishing foe, but with one thought uppermost, nnd that thought for Ore gon? Oh, what an opportunity for the newspaper men of Oregon to disting uish themselves in good work in as sisting an ofllce to seek n man instead of helping, as is usually the case, some politician into oillce, in which he will rattle around with more noise than n bullet would make when shak en in a wooden mug. Surely for once, we, of the news paper profession, can afford to hon or one of our own, particularly so when that one stands pre-eminently a man among men. Let us get to work. Who will join us in this worthy un dertaking for Oregon? ALTGELD'S LAST SPEECH. An abstract of the speech delivered at the pro-Boer meeting in Joliet, 111., March 11, by Hon. John P. Altgeld; furnished to The Public from Joliet under date of Slarch 11. At a great pro-Boor meeting held at the opera house here tonight, ex- Governor John P. Altgeld declared that all friends of humanity owed a debt of gratitude to Governor "iates for Issuing a proclamation soliciting assistance for the Boer women and children who are perishing in foul concentration camps which the Brit ish are maintaining in South Africa. He said that the kind people of America had raised a large sum of money which was to relieve the dis tress of the women and children, and now we are unable to send it to them. And he then made tho startling de claration that we, the most powerful people of the world, could not even perform an errand of charity because Lord Pauncefote, the British ambas sador at Washington, objected to it; that while we were boasting of our power and of our prestige, and claim ing to be a world power, we could not even send a chest of medicine or a basket of bread to perishing women and children, because the English am bassador was opposed to it. ' Gov. Altgeld further charged that Lord Pauncefote lias for several years meddled with American affairs, and that our state department and Secretary Hay were mere vest pocket conveniences for the British ambas sador. There were 18 counts and specific charges mai in Gov. Altgeld's indict ment. 1. That just before the beginning of the Spanish war Lord Pauncefote, representing the aristocracy of the old world, meddled with our affairs, and tried to unite the governments of Europe in making a joint protest against America's intert'erence in be half of Cuba. 2. That when the American people asserted themselves, and out govern ment was compelled to go to the res cue of Cuba, then England issued a strong neutrality proclamation, for bidding all her subjects everywhere from furnishing us aid, or doing any thing that would in any .way be a violation of the strictest neutrality. 3. That the treaties between Eng land and the South African repub lics recognized the latter as inde pendent nations, evcept only as to the right to make treaties with foreign countries; that Chamberlain had re peatedly declared in and out of par liament that they wore independent nations, and that England had no right to interfere in any manner with their internal affairs; thai Gladstone and SEorley and Brico and that great body of English people who have made England great were in favor of doing justice to the Boers, but that the aristocracy, of which Lorl Pauncc-toto belonged, the stock spec ulators ,tho gamblers, the whisky drinking, cock-fighting, brutal ele ment that was running the govern ment, wanted the lands and goldflelds of the Boers and brought on this war. 4. That had our government at thai time been true to our tradiHoi.3 and Intimated to England that we should regard tho destruction of the two young republics of South Africa as an unfriendly act toward all re publican governments, England would have stopped, she would have arbi trated and tho horrors that have since been enacted In South Africa would not have happoned. 5. But that instead of being true to the sentiment of our people and re publican institutions, our state de partment was so manipulated by Lord Pauncefote, tho English ambassador, that it gave England positive assur ance of our moral support in every thing she might do; that theso assur ances were given with so much os tentation as to attract tho attention of tho world. C That Chamberlain publicly boasted that while there was no writ ten alliance between tho two nations, there was what ho called an under standing between statesmen which ho said was of far more importance than written treaties. 7. That In consequence of tho stand taken by our country other countries were deterred from Inter forrlng, and from helping tho Boors. S. That consequently, through Lord Pouncofote's manipulation, our government has rendered Great Brit ain greater scrvico than It could have rendered by Bending armies and na vies into tho war. 9. That we have thus mnde our selves partners in guilt, and morally responsible for the murders, the burn ings and the Infamies practiced in South Africa by the English aristo cracy. 10. That through Lord Paunce fote's manipulation Secretary Hay's son wns sent as consul to South Africa. and wns ostentatiously sent by way of Lord Salisbury's office to get his instructions; that this was done on purpose to show the other nations that our country would stand by England. 11. That when the intor-oceanlc canal treaty was negotiated by Sec rotary Hay with England, by virtue of which we were to furnish all the money, and do all the work, and get the right of way, and were not to for tify it, but were to leavo it in such a condition that the English navy could at any time render our property .vorthless; nnd that this pusillani mous treaty was defeated by a repub lican senate. 12. That the British censor in South Africa has repeatedly stopped and opened our mails which tho United States governments sent to its own officials in South Africa; that in some cases the censors held these malls back for weeks, and then kindly -wrote an endorsement on tho envelope, permitting them to pass. Gov. Altgeld held up before his au dience fac similies of the envelopes with tho English censor's indorse ment, showing how tho mails of the American government wore thus tam pered with, and he charged that no other government on earth would sub mit to such an insult; but that through the influence of Lord Paunce fote our stnte department was -pre vented from oven making protest. 13. That in 1S98 the American people declared that concentrtis I in camps could not be tolerated on American soil; that now for nearly two years England is maintaining concentration camps in the Bermuda Islands, which are a part of America, where she is imprisoning not only men, but eight and ten year old boys, and that no protest has Lten made against this practice of our govern ment. 14. That instead of maintaining strict neutrality between England and the Boers, as Englend compelled her subjects to maintain between us and the Spaniards, we have allow ed the English to maintain a regulav supply camp at New Orleans for tho purpose of supplying the English with munitions of war, and have shipped over 150,000 head of horses and mules besides other munitions of war, with out which England could not possi bly have continued the contest; that we have violated all the laws of neu trality, and that although many of our people have protested against this outrage, Lord Pauncefote's influ ence over the stato department is so strong that not even a protest was made against it. 15. That now after the humane people of America have raised lunds with which to buy medicine and fur nish other relief as a matter of char ity to the women and children who are perishing in the British concen tration camps in South Africa, our secretary of state Hay has refused to apply for a passport for an American citizen to carry this charity to South Africa; that Lord Pauncefote's influ ence at the stato department at Is often only a sympton of dyspepsia. In dyspepsia there is a loss of nutrition which is felt by brain as well us body; the miud grows morbid as the body loses vigor. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures dyspepsia and oth er diseases of the stomach and asso ciated organs of di gestion nnd nutri tion. It enables the proper nutri tion of the body and restores men tal cheerfulness as well as physical strength. n Tor about two years I suffered from a very obstinate case of dys pepsia," writes U. It. Secord, ISsq., of 13 Kastern Ave., Toronto, Ontario. "I tried a great number of reme dies without success. I finally lost faith in them all. I wa.s go far gone that I could not bear any solid food on my stomach for along time, fell melancholy and depressed. Could not sleep nor follow' my occupation. Some four months ago a friend recommended your 'Golden Medical JHscovery." After a week's treatment I had derived so much benefit that I contin ued the medicine. I have taken three bot tles and am convinced it has in niv case ac complished a permanent cure, I can conscien tiously recommend it to the thousands of dys peptics throughout the laud." Accept 110 substitute for "Golden Med ical Discovery." There is nothing "just as good" for diseases of the stomach, blood, and lungs. Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets stimulate the liver." Washington Is more potont than that of 70,000,000 American people. 10. That through tho influence of Lord Pauncefote, wo are going to send a specinl embassy to the corona tion of King Edward, so as to endorso the doctrine of the divine right of kings, and nt last by our conduct apologize for the acts of the fathers in establishing republican Institutions in America founded on tho rights of man. 17. Gov. Altgeld further declared, that Gen De Wet with his fighting farmers wns a more important factor in the progress of the world than was King Edward VII; that De Wet and his farmers represented the aspira tions nnd tho hopes of tho tolling mil lions of the earth, in all lands, who no the world's work, ad make civilization possible; while King Edwnrd VII re presented simply tho parasitic classes that eat the substance of other men's toll. 18. The governor further declared that England was on tho downward grade, and will in time pass otr tno 1 maps of tho world and that if every I Boer In South Africa were shot down the glory of their heroism would live through the eternities and be forever an inspiration to mankind. 1 SEED!
