EDITORIAL COMMENT.
It is said that St. Louis' was
selected for the Democratic Con
vention city, instead of Chicago,
because Hearst had a paper in
Chicago. Now Willie threatens
to start another Yellow Journal
in St. Louis, to whoop it up dur
ing the convention. A Happy
Hooligan and Mrs. Katzenjam
mer department will not be nec
essary for this paper, as Bryan
will write the editorials.

One more question regarding
the Portage Railroad. If it is
going to cost $100,000 for the
right-of-way for the canal, where
every owner is willing to sell at
a fair price, how much is it going
to cost for ri-ght-ot-way for a
portage railroad where the own
ers do not want to sell, and where
every obstacle will be thrown in
the way by the wealthy owners?
How much of the $160,000 will
be left when the preliminaries are
out of the way and the actual
work of railway construction
commences ?

The Portland gamblers are be
coming bolder every day. A poor
woman, who had been working
as a servant, saved up $165 with
which she planned to make a
first payment on a rooming house,
gave the money to her husband
to make the payment. On his
way he stepped into Erickson's
gambling den, played "twenty
one" and lost the $165. Heart
broken the woman appealed to
District Attorney Manning to re
cover her money. He telephoned
Erickson and made a statement
of the case, asking him to return
the money. Erickson's reply
was: "Go-to hell!" He didn't
go, but issued a warrant instead,
and the house was closed. Bail
was then put up and the house
nnened ncrain. Another warrant.
with like Insult. The gambling
house is closed permanently till
that $165 is collected, me dis
trict Attorney will issue a war
rant everv dav until he gets the
money. The sheriffs office and
police seem to be standing in
with the eramblers. Truly a
savory state of affairs for the
metropolis of a great state tnat is
looking for immigration.
ft
As the time tor the June con
vention grows nearer, the politi
cal pulse is quickening. Who
will get the nomination? At
present it looks as if Roosevelt
carried it in his pocket without
question. The democrats have
neither policy or candidate.
Until ' they do have a paramount
issue, there is no possibility of
any change in republican senti
ment regarding the candidate.
The only suggestions of any
change come from New York,
the state where the unexpected
is the thing that always happens.
Cleveland carried it in 1882 by a
plurality of 192,000 and in 1884
by only 1200. McKinley 268,
000 plurality in r886 and two
years after the democrats carried
the state by 60,000. New York
may well be considered doubtful.
Grosvenor so places it in his es
timate, and claims a republican
majority regardless of its vote.
Republican quarrels alone will
not give the state to the demo
crats, nor will it work harm
throughout the country in the
national result. One factor is
not yet considered. The demo
cratic party can always be de
pended upon to do the wrong
thing at the right time. At pres
ent it looks as if that wrong
thing was a combination between
Bryan and Hearst for the nomin
ation of the latter. Let us live
and hope.

The Ministerial Association of
Portland demands thai the Lewis
& Clark Fair shall be closed tight
on Sunday. Why shouldn't the
Jews come in and demand that it
be closed on Saturday? It is the
old problem over again, of mak
ing people good by law. It
Strikes an outsider as strange that
the ministers of Portland do not
take their own medicine, and
practice the charity they preach.
With the advantages they really
possess combined with the ad
vantages they claim to possess,
there is no reason whv thpv
should not make the attractions'
of their services so superior that
everyone will flock to them, and
the Fair would be deserted on
Sunday, even if allowed to open.
Perhaps they draw the lesson
from past experience, and note
tnat without any counter attrac
tions they have never vet been
able to attract one-fifth of the
people of thai citv. The orono-
sition is a confession of weak
ness on their Dart, which thev
ought never to have acknowl
edged. Morality by compulsion
lasts only while the force that
compels it is aDolied. The
ciation that claims a moral force
behind its teachings, and bv its
acts Stultifies its own claims, and
thus openly acknowledges that it
nas no iaitn in itseir, is losing a
large part of the power for eood
it ought to possess and wield for
tne puonc good.

It is often the case that the
local newspaper, which does more
tor a town than any other agency,
is the last to receive encourage
ment and patronage it deserves.
yet it is expected to use its best
efforts at all times on behalf of
local enterprises, and to find its
chief reward in the consciousness
of doing good. Sacramento Bee.
