PURE NONSENSE.
To our mind the discussion of
Statement No. 1 at this time by
republicans is pure nonsense
when so many questions of vital
importance demand our atten
the wisdom of a repub
lican legislature this child was
conceived and if an unhealthy
offspring its parents will be
called upon to care for it at the
next '. session of the legislature.
If a mother, by some myste
rious mis-direction of nature,
brings to light a deformed off
spring, in the very nature of her
mother love she quietly hides it as
much as possible from ' public
gaze, and lavishly looks after its
wants to make life as comforta
ble as possible. If an unruly
child, she never takes it on the
front porch to spank it and thus
become the laughing stock oi ner
neighbors.
Why should we give ourselves
any uneasiness about Statement
No. 1 when we have a clear re
publican majority of from 15,000
to 20,000 in the state of Oregon
who are as anxious to walk up to
the polls to-day and vote the re
publican ticket as they ever were
if we would lay aside the weight
of sins that doth so easily beset
us and give them a ticket worthy
of support.
We cannot deny the fact that
t he lukewarm'condition of many
trood. true republicans in the
state of Orepon to-day is due to
crookedness and general cussed
ness of some of the leaders of
nnr nartv who care nothing for
party principles and the welfare
of the masses, but are ruiea ana
controlled, body, mind and soul
hv selfishness and greed. When
a man. claiming to be a republi
can, will make a speech, at this
time, declaring he will support
no man for office who is in favor
of Statement No. 1" it creates, in
our mind, a breath of suspicion
that he trailed with Mitchell m
balmy days and lost sight of the
nrinciDles of the repubhcanparty
This is neither the time nor
place for the discussion of this
Question which, in any event, can
cut no figure in the primaries, and
causes strife and bitterness in
our ranks while our democratic
brethren are sweetly smiling to
see us scraDDing over it.
The Question of vital import
ance to the voter in the ranks is,
who is the best, and purest man
in the reDubhcan party to lead us
tn victory at the polls. We
should, at this time, simply dis
cuss the merits and qualifications
of the gentlemen now belore us
and if not to the liking of the
masses of our party, we should
eo out into the by-ways and
hedges and find a Moses who
would lead us into higher, purer
and cleaner politisal life than the
record of the past can show
We need a few Maj. Warner's
who. when a few years ago the
masses of the republicans of Mis
souri demanded as a candidate
DerhaDs for the Senate, was op
posed by what was known as the
"Filley Ring," and seeing he
could not command their support,
and thus unite warring elements,
with heart overflowing with grat
itude to his friends, arose in his
seat and said "However much I
may appreciate the honor you
would confer upon me, yet to me
harmony in the republican party
is morLto be desired than the
success of Maj. Warner." That
sneech. with its patriotic devotion
to party principle, set the repub
lican party of Missouri on fireand
continued to be the watch- word
until it softened the stony hearts
of Filley and his friends, wiped
out the 40,000 democratic major
ity and landei Major Warner in
the Senate where he stands to-
i dv as a miehtv power for good,
a credit to his state and an nonor
to his party. Pardon the digres
sion when we say we need more
such men in the Senate to purify
the atmosphere around Washing
ton There are seats in that au
gust body which have been held
that should be thor-
i oughly fumigated before being
nied bv men of moral char
after, and we honestly admit
that some of these men belong to
r.hp republican Darty
Give us a candidate tot- Sena
tor whose private character is
ahove reDroach ability unques
tioned, and we need have no fear
- t . . . T 4
ftf statement o. x. n
; We dare not trust to our demo
pratie brethren for a Senator
from timber now in sight. In
tha lio-hr. of nast history, "to wine
and dine with that bimcb" would
be a greater temptation - than ne
could stand
A COMMISSION.
A Tariff Commission will prob
ably be created at the present
session of congress to which tar
iff revision and legislation will be
referred for consideration and
recommendation.
Th creation of such a commis
sion has been discussed pro and
con for many years, but the
measure has never been regarded
with enough favor to cause its
adoption. The President tavors
such a commission and has rec
ommended its creation to con
gress : a number of large and in-
flnpntial organizations lavor it
and will urge it. if possible, to
favorable congressional action, so
it is highly probable we snail
have another commission added
to bur already rather complica
ted governmental machinery.
The mam purpose Dacs ol una
movement is to lift the whole
subject of tariff legislation out ot
the field of partisanship and
place it on the plane of Political
Economics where it properly De-
longs. This is a most commend
able purpose. We never can have
the most beneficial legislation on
this subject until we do treat it on
its merits as one belonging to the
domain of practical Political
Science.
Tt. is not Dlain, however, that
w oan aficomnlish this through
the agency of a Special commis
sion. Such a commission couia
not be clothed with powers of
legislation. It could enact notn-
ing. It COUld Only Study, exam
ine, formulate its opinions and
(inclusions and report them to
...
congress. These mignt not De
unanimous and thus the whole
discussion of the questions before
the commission would be precip
itated UDon the law-making body
This would be no advance De
von d the nresent method of pro
cedure whereby proposed tariff
legislation is referred to the com
mittee on Ways and Means, usu
ally, where all propositions are
considered and a bill formed
and reported to congress for con-
' mi .
sideration and enactment, inis
committee is composed, in the
main, of able, painstaking and
honest men. He is practically non
par tisan, and deserves the confi
dence usually reposed in tne wis
dom of its recommendations.
Any one who has ever been be
fore it in behalf of some interest
touched by proposed tariff legis
lation knows how thoroughly and
earnestly and equitably it pushes
its innuiries.
No more equitable and prac
tical tariff legislation was ever
given to the country than tne
present law. That it became a
dozen years old betore it snowea
a few gray hairs proves the wise
care with which it was trameo.
No commission possible to cre
ate could reach better results.
Besides government by com
mission is abhorrent to our peo
ple and is discredited from the
start. Notwithstanding all this
it seems that we shall be given a
lot more tentative legislation.
A BETTER GAIN.

A A. M.
What is ot greater interest to
non-cburchman is the rapid and
wide-sDread diffusion of christian
f H 1 rc arm ideals. This has
raii1 and embraced the
churches, has forced them to mod
ify or abandon their ecclisiasti
rism. to come into greater har
monv and to strive in more per
fprt unitv to induce men to accept
and practice christian ethics and
follow close after christian ideals.
