"UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED
WE FALL."
It is not out of place for us to say,
with great Earnestness, to our readers,
' that, if we would succeed m the po
- lidcal contest which approaches, that
we should lav aside all dissensions
which have gathered, aa they always
' will, in any long maintained associa
tion of control or of political or civil
' power. ' When such dissensions, selfish
, wishes or . local desires become strong
enough to overshadow the true ecoh'
. orav and safety of a party's success, it
is high time for all who carry its fl
, to stop and examine the road. Pre
tensions of progressive Hfe; professions
of the strength of unity in the pur-
poses of. Republican principles, with
the defenses of that unity disregarded,
uia a mockery. ' Meii associate with one
another that organisation may bring
strength in whatever purpose they in
tend to enact or apply to the economy
.desirable to maintain; but to quarrel
'. as to who of -the number interested
:' shall execute- the measures believed
. necessary for success, ia simply leaving
open to the enemy the gates of, the
': garrison. ''-' ; '
' The Democratic party has raised
' higher than ever its flag 'of unsafe and
i baseless issues and principles. It does
not hesitate to cater by a peculiar line
' of policy to an interest in one locality
and by a radically different policy when
-applied in another; or to urge to mem
'this local, measure or that, which are
in no way applicable to a national
' question. ' To demand free-trade or to
' demand the application of that princi
ple by a people because it sounds broad,
to Save our liberties unrestricted by a
seemingly broad term of logic, is noth
ing more or less than ; opening the
.weak to the strong: and instead of
being, as the Democrats claim, liberty,
is simply unquestioned .' lawlessness,
and, if followed up, submits the Amer-
, ican people who are without strength
of capital to just what the chickens of
; a barnyard are to a rough-shod don-
. key. i
' Let us pull together and load the
teme ship. Our own country and its
own peoplej" their own interests be
fore that of the foreign. .
( f WYOMING'S BUSTLES WAR.
During the past week the papers
) have - contained a great deal of news
about the troubles in Wyoming, but
' . very little information as to the causes
of the trouble or the status of the con
tending factions.' That a condition of
' armed conflict has existed and still ex-
f ists has been obvious,' but until re
cently the causes of the trouble have
been extremely obscure.
' It now appears that the trouble has
grown out of an attempt of the large
cattle-owners, who are known in Wy
oming as "range barons," to exclude
' the owners of small bands of cattle
from the privilege of free range upon
the public lands, says a San Francisco
' exchange, which, it is plain to see, be
long to neither of 1 them, but to the
- United States. In order to secure a
monopoly of the ranges for their own
cattle the-range barons formed a league
or association, the avowed purpose of
' which was to drive the "rustlers," as
' the . small owners were called, off the
ranges and out of the country. To
' enlist public sympathy in their favor
) the range barons circulated .general
charges - of cattle stealing against the
rustlers, and assumed to be banded to
gether to put an end to that which ia
a capital offense in a cattle-raising
country. , , . ,
. It happened that the range barons
found themselves outnumbered and
outgeneraled. They went out for wool
' and came home shorn. Instead of
: surrounding the rustlers they found
- themselves hemmed in, and only the
timely advent of a company of United
- States cavalry prevented their annihi
lation. .
" It ia the old fight between the rich
and the poor, the strong and the weak.
Neither ia wholly devoid of fault or
wrong-doing,' in all probability, but
the outlook ia in favor of the so- called
ustlers, who, it is evident, have at
' most only done in a small way what
the range barons have done on a lar-
ger scale, and to the successful accom
plishment of whh is due the founda-
. tion of their fortunes.
, ; -TEE ' LOUISIANA ELECTION.
A Chicago exchange Bays the reports
. from Louisiana indicate a triumph of
- the" better over the worse element of
Democracy of that state. The Re
publican' party which at best could
have had but a thin chance for the
election' of a governor, foolishly al-
.lowed two tickets ,to be placed in
nomination, and in so doing made
success impossible. And 'unquestion
ably very many Republicans cast their
votes for Mr. Foster, believing him to
be an honest foe of the lottery com
pany. ' ,
. The real fight has been between the
McEnery and the Foster Democrats.
Politically, the election of either of
them would have been devoid of sig
nificance, for until federal protection
is given to the Republican voters the
state offices of Louisiana will be filled
by Democrats.
Yet something has been gained by
the election of Foster. He was op-
posed to the state lottery; he was not
acceptable to the ancient aristocracy
of New Orleans; he comes nearer to
being a man of the people than Mo
Enery, and hisHar'ial affiliation with
the taxpaying people is emphasized by
the election of Mr. Adams on his I
ticket Mr. Adams ia a member of
the Famer'a Alliance, and waa its'
nominee for governor, so that really
the Foster ticket was the ticket of .the
anti-lottery Democrats and of the
Farmers' Alliance, while the McEnery
.irkat was the ticket of the New Or-
leans lottery and of the old aristocratic
clique of that city.
New Orleans, as was to have been
expected, gave a large majority of its
votes to McEnery. The city derives
so vast a profit or rather, for the cost
of demoralization may exceed the
profit receives such a volume of
money from the lottery company that
many a voter who at heart is opposed
to gambling in all its forms supports
the evil institution for the Bake of the
civic revenue derived from it. iiut
the voice of the state has been heard
in reprobation of the vicious source of
revenue, and one meaning of the elec
tion ia that the days of the lottery are
numbered. Another meaning is that
the people are crowing tired of the
New Orleans oligarchy.
Incidentally, Republican gains are
to be noted in several parishes, and it
now seems as if there would be a Re
publican minority of sufficient force to
make itself heard in the state legisla
tor Something has . been gained for
the cause of free government in the
recent election: it is not much, it is
true,' but it is so long since anything
was gained by decency and .good
morals in Louisiana politics that we
well can afford to give thanks for
small blessing.
The incorporation into the River
and Harbor bill of $2,600,000 for the
boat railway, as proposed by Senator
Mitchell, weare fearful will have the
effect to kill all appropriations for
Oreeon this session. It must be rec
ollected that the Democrats in the
lower ' house of congress this year are.
legislating for the success of their can
didate for president and not for the
people. They must go before the
country as economists, as they have
nothing else with which to attract
votes, and when a big River and Har
bor bill comes before them, with $2,
800,000 added for a boat railway in
Oregon, these presidential legislators
will kill it very quickly. Of course
there is an urgent necessity for this
improvement in the navigation of the
Columbia: . but the Democratic ma
jority will pay more, attention to the
thousands of hungry Democrats who
desire fat offices in the event of the
election of a Democratic president.
The following from the La Grande
Gazette can be endorsed by every town
in the northwest: "Would you like to
see La Grande's population doubled!
Would you like to have manufacturing
industries established here that will
give employment for hundreds of fam
ilies? Then get in and' assist in the
raising of a subsidy that will show the
outside world that you mean business.
If the proposed subsidy is raised it will
not be two years when every citizen
will be glad to double his subscription
and will rejoice in his soul that his lot
is cast in a community of live people."
Aa we have often said in these columns,
we need protection at home, and to
put the principles in operation in
building up our city. We need con
sumers, and to have consumers we
should have productive industries by
which they can gain a support '
It does us good to see the Demo
cratic party realize their frequent de
feats, and in unqualified language ac
knowledge it The New York Sun,
of April 10th, says in deep shame:
"In 1888, the Democratic party went
crazy over tariff 'reform' and trotted
into the mud upon the mugwump ele
phantLicking No. 1. In 1891, the
Ohio Democrats snouting for Gobden
tariff reform, . spread broad mats for
Major W. McKinley to order Repub
licans to wipe their feet on.- Licking
No. 2. In 1892, Rhode Island Dem
ocrats howling tariff reform received
licking No. 3." The Sun thinks it is
about time to throw away tariff re
form as not a drawing attraction.' We
suggest would it not pay better to as
sist and stand by American interests
instead of that of foreigners'! "
It is in order now for the Demo- j
cratio press to advocate . the peculiar
fitness of their candidates for official
honors, and the peculiar unfitness of
those on the Republican ticket: This
is the way they do business; but it is
not the most successful method, by
any means, with an intelligent people.
The nominations made by the Repub
lican state convention 'were of men
adapted , to the positions for which
they were named, and not representa
tives of any particular faction. It has
never been the custom of this paper to
abuse opposing candidates, and it
never will Republicans have a good,
strong ticket in the field, and it should
receive the unqualified support of
every man who smliates with the
party. ' ' '
The election of Hon. . W. R. Ellis to
congress is well assured, for this . dis
trict ia largely Republican, and the
people know he is in hearty sympathy
with an open river. His opponent
Hon. Jas. H. Slater, is no doubt a
good citizen; but the. appropriations
received for the locks while he repre
sented Oregon in congress were very
meagre, and we desire liberal ones
hereafter. These will be secured by
Hon. W. R. Ellis, in conjunction with
Hon. Binger Hermann, and, besides
Eastern Oregon sheepmen do not want
to be represented in congress by a
free-trader like Hon. Jas. H. Slater.
The Albany Democrat, of Monday
last, contained damaging charges
against Hon. F. A. Moore, the Re
publican candidate for supreme judge,
Of course this is done for ' campaign
purpose, or the people would have
heard them before. It ia a rule of
evidence, that the testimony of an in-
terested witness should not have the
same weight aa one who who haa no
interest in the matter, and in this case
we must consider the Democrat in
terested witnesses, as they are anxious
to elect their whole ticket next June.
We are satisfied Judge Moore will re
fute these charges aa soon as he has an
opportunity. -r
- FACTS AND FIGURES.
In 1SC0 Abraham Lincoln received l.SGG,
332 votes. There were east against him
2,220,920 Democratic votes for Douglas and
Breckinridge. If a person will pat on his
thinking cap for a moment and try to find'
out on which side of the Uuion these two
and one-quarter million Democrats fought
and bled, he will come to the conclusion
that Mr. Stillman's statement at the conrt
house Saturday night, wherein he claimed
that the Democrats had an equal share with
the Republicans in suppressing the rebel
lion, wag not so wild and ridiculous as our
Republican brethren would have us believe
History will bear out Mr. Stillciau s state
ment, as absurd as it may have seemed to
some, that as many Democrats as Republi
cans eulisted in the union army and had a
hand in putting down the rebellion. The
blackest Republican knows this and cannot
conscientiously deny it. East Oregonian.
The 2,220,920 Democratic votes cast
against Lincoln were composed of
1,374,664 for Douglas and 847,404 for
Breckinridge, not counting 591,900
for Hell. Douglas, in the campaign of
1860, in one of his speeches said: "I
will not say that every secessionist
the word rebel did not come into use
until after the firing on Ft. Sumter-
Ed.J is a Breckinridge Democrat;
but I will say that every Breckinridge
Democrat is a secessionist," and he was
good authority on the question.
Counting every Douglas Democrat
and we are sorry to say there were
many copperheads in the north who
claimed to amliate with that party as
a union man,' and - Republicans who
were solidly for the union of the
states had a majority of 491,249.
The Douglas Democrats we will take
the great Douglas' words for the status
of the Breckinridge Democrats who
supported Lincoln in putting down the
rebellion became Republicans, and
nearly all of them have affiliated with
the party ever since. 'But, it must be
understood, that very many of these
Douglas Democrats still held to the
party organization, . and during the
most trying epoch of the nation's ex
istence, did everything in conjunction
with Breckinridge Democrats to im
pair the efforts of Mr. Lincoln to re
store the union of the states. As late
as iobi, this disunion democratic
party met in national convention and
passed a resolution that, "after, four
years of conflict, this war is a failure."
To the student of history the record of
the Democratic party is black and for
bidding in any light, and it is not
to be wondered at that it is trying now
to distort facts to cover its obloquy
during the darkest page of our history.
It will not be at all surprising if the
claim is not made soon by these history-blotters
that Lincoln was a Dem
ocrat, and that the rebellion was sup
ported by Breckinridge Republicans
and John Bell Nationalists. "
CLEVELAND'S DUAL POLICIES.
Ex-President Cleveland is speaking
about the country in behalf of the
Democratic faith; he proposing to be
its candidate for president The
change adopted by his party leaders in
the manufacturing policy or the na
tion, places the unscrupulous politician
in an unfortunate position while rep
resenting the manufacturers' position
in his public speeches. There can be
do doubt that in temporary affairs cir
cumstances often alter cases, but it is
remarkable that a man who sits as
figure-head for a national party should
be compelled to change front ao distinct
ly as Mr. Cleveland seems to have been
forced to under the following circum
stances: While acting as president at
Washington, Dec 3, 1888, in referring
to American manufacturers, he repre
sented them as "robbers," saying, "We
discover that the fortunes realized by
our manufacturers are no longer ob
tained solely by reward of sturdy
industry, and ; enlightened foresight,
bat that they result from the discrim
inating favor of the government, and
are largely built upon undue exactions
from the masses of the people." . He
wanted no help to get office when he
made this attack upon manufacturers
, 3 a class. The same Grover Cleve
land in one of his speeches since he
has taken the stump, expecting to be
elected president again, at Providence,
R. I., April 2, 1892, said: "The man
ufacturer who sees in free raw ma
terials a reduced cost of his products,
resulting in ah increased consumption
and an extension cf his markets, and! a
constant activity, and return of his in
vested capital, can hardly trust the
party who first resisted any reform in
the tariff, then juggled with it and
last flatly refused him the. relief he
needs." Mr. Cleveland is a very good
linguist, as applied to a political ad
dress, but .when he goes before the
whole country and attempts to endorse
practical principles directly opposed to
the ' economy he has - heretofore
preached as a leading politician and
the leader of a national party, and ex
pects to cover his plain beaten tracks,
he ia very much mistaken.
- The Democrat, T. L. Johnson, of
Cleveland, Ohio, in his free- trade
speech in the house of representatives
last week, said: "I am glad to open to
the Ohio sheep the full competition of
th6 Australian and the Argentine and
all other pauper sheep, and to see him
turned into mutton if he cannol sur
vive. And what I am ready to do
with regard to wool, I am ready to do
with any other raw material." Let
Eastern Oregon wool growers endorse
this, and vote the Democratic ticket
Let the $3,500,000 which was paid
for Eastern Oregon wool last year go
to Australia and New Zealand. This
is Democratic policy, and free woo! is
their aim. Let wool growers in East
ern Oregon" join in the cry.
It ia somewhat gratifying to old Re
publicans, who have been allied to the
party during their political lives, to
read Democratic enconinma on Abra-
ham Lincoln, our martyred president,
after he has been in hia grafve for over
twenty-five years. During his ' life
time, he waa maligned and abused by
Democrats, and nearly every act of his
administration of national affairs
severely criticised. He was a buffoon,
a tyrant, a violator of constitutional
rights, and entirely unfit to be presi
dent of a republic. Now that he is
in his grave, and the policy he pur
sued has been proved by the logic of
events to have been the only correct
and patriotic one that could have been
followed during the late rebellion he is
praised in the most complimentary
terms. One not acquainted with the
history of the party would be induced
to believe that Lincoln followed the
principles of Democracy, when the
fact is well known that he was dia
metrically opposed to tbe party from
the "time he declared this country
could not exist half-free and half-slave
to the day of his death. No one can
bestow too much praise on him whom
old-line Republicans consider equal to
Washington; but they dislike that hy
pocrisy of the Democratic party which
vilified him in his life and pretend to
worship him in his grave; and all for
the sake of blotting out its past record.
Springer, the Democratic free trade
leader in congress, when asked how he
proposed to supply tho loss of revenue
which would follow free wool; binding
twine and cotton ties, said that the
increase upon woolen goods would be.
80 immense as to insure as much reve
nue as before. Let Eastern Oregon
wool growers realize that Democrats
purpose to bring free foreign wool in
competition with theirs and then bring
enough woolen goods, manufactured
out of foreign wool witli foreign labor,
and they certainly have a gloomy pros
pect. -
The action of Senator Dolph on the
Geary Chinese biB is being severely
criticised by some of our Democratic
exchanges, and this is being done, for
the purpose of influencing the election
next June. It is a well-known fact,
and the record of Mr. Dolph while in
the senate will prove it, that in every
instance he has supported reasonable
Chinese exclusion; but he is a man of
intelligence, and possesses the courage
of his convictions.
The sayings banks of Cleaveland,
Ohio, have to-day $40,000,000 on
deposit, mostly owned by working
people. This is the evidence of one of
the cities of Ohio in' favor of their
honored protectionist, Mr. McKinley,
whom they asked to be their governor.
How will that showing compare with
the condition of British labor, in the
cities of Great Britain?
Undefended woolen manufacturing

per cent of them. ' " y :

The Newport Times says: About one hun
dred and eighty feet of tramway has already
been constructed since pile driving com
menced and the work is going on steadily
and rapidly as possible. Considerable time
has been lost by the boys working at the
handling of the rock and tbey are beginning
to complain. The gang on the pile driver
struck for higher wages Tuesday. It seems
they want $3 a day and were receiving but
$2.25. The piles cannot be driven at all, as
the rock is so hard, but they are put in po
sition, braced and tied thoroughly and then
rock is at once put in about their feet and
thus holds them securely in their position,
Tbe work is therefore just as substantial
but not so much can be accomplished. There
is a reef to be crossed abont a hundred feet
from their present position and when that
point is reached it is expected the rock will
be found of a softer nature and that the
piles can be driven six or eight feet. . Xt is
to be devoutly wished for the work will
proceed much more rapidly if this proves
to be correct.
Advices from Tillamook say that ex-
rostmaster l. u. Mason, ot that place,
was placed under arrest for forgery by
Deputy United Htates Marshal Sinnott, ot
Portland, and was taken away on the
steamer Elmore to Astoria and thence to
Portland to answer to the charge before
United States Commissioner Deady. Mrs.
Sophia Severence, present postmistress,
and John Erickson . were taken along as

candidate for precinct justice, and -pre
viously has borne a good reputation. . It
is alleged that'he forged the name of Er
ickson to a money order and embezzled
tbe proceeds, amounting to several hun
dred dollars, and he is strongly suspected
of other crookedness in conducting the

gation of Inspector Patton has shown ex
tensive and systematic peculations.
East Oregonian; An elderly gentlemen has
been in the city for some time past for the
purpose ot locating people on forfeited rail
road land that it is advisable to "jump."
It is said that he is doing a fair business in
this line, and that several quarter sections
in the yicinity of Pendleton have been filed
upon.. Naturally parties who have been
holding the land are not disposed to look
upon the agent's efforts with adminng eyet,
and reports are that a rope is banging in a
fence abont two miles north of this city,
bearing the significant sign that it 1b in
tended for tbe aforesaid gentleman's neck.
That he will ever wear the ornament is very
doubtfnl, but indications are -that trouble is
apt to arise from the land-jumping now in
progress.
Dr. N. G. Blalock, president and execu

large farm in Gilliam county. Speaking of
tbe matter he said: "Those people back east
don't believe we can raise good watermel
ons. Now, 1 will tell you what I propose
to do. 1 will contribute to tne Washing
ton world's fair commission enough water
melon next year to fill a train of cars, and
we will send special train of delicious mel
ons to the world's fair. When we get them
there we will give them away to the eastern
viBitors who are skeptical about our re
sources. So you can all get ready for a
watermelon day at Washington world's fair

The postage stamp craze, which has had
such firm hold on Americans, young and
old, for a number of years, may now result
in something more than tbe amusement and
instruction afforded in making a collection.
Old postage stamps are highly prized in
China and 100 cancelled b tamps will buy a

Catholics are collecting tbe old stamps and
mrchasing . infants, whom they bring up in

of satisfaction to the possessor of a stamp
album to know that bis collection might be
the means of rescuing several Chinese child
ren from the darkness of heathenism.

TELEGRAPHIC.
Destructive Fire in Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, April 27. Tbe most
sensational fire that baa visited this city
in years broke out to-nigbt on the stage
ot tbe Grand Central theater, and before
it could be gotten uutier control nearly
$1,000,000 worth of property wa3 de
stroyed, including tbe massive eight story
annex building occupied by tne Times.
There was a panic in tbe theater and
nearly fifty persons, mostly occupants of
the gaileries, were hurt, none seriously,
however. Just before 8 o'clock, while
the stage bands were lowering sceDery
from tbe flies, a portion of a setting be
came entangled in the border lights. In
an instant tongues of lire shot up to the
roof and blaziog scenery fell to tbe stage,
and in a short ppace ot time tbe entire
rear portion cf the theater was a mass of
fire. A number of female choristers and'
ballet dancers, who stood in the wings
waiting for the performance to begin,
were thrown into a panic, and rushed
about, scarcely knowing which way to
turn to avoid tbe quickly spreading
flames. All, it is believed, were gotten
safely cut, although there is a report that
several ballet girls are missing, a scene
of even more intense excitement was en
acted before tbe footlights. The house
was only -partly filled. When tbe aud
ience realized that they were face to face
with fire, everybody started for the exits,
and tbe weaker ones were borne down
and crushed under foot.
DRIVEN TO FKEKZY.
One individual, maddened and brutal
ized by tbe excitement, drew a pocket
knife and cut his way through the mass
of people. Half a dozen or more persons
were found at the hospital who had been
the victims of his frenzy. None of tbe
wounds, however, were of a serious char
acter. Men and boys fell on tbe stair
ways leading from tbe galleries, and were
bruised and scratched under the heels of
those following them. Fifty-two persons
were cared for at two hospitals near tbe
theater. The wildest excitement pre
vailed on the streets. Ballet girls in gauze
and tights rushed bare-headed around,
almost all of them in a hysterical condi
tion. The fire spread with marvelous
rapidity, and by the time the fire appar
atus arrived the building was a mass of
flames. The alarm was promptly re
sponded to, and all the occupants of the
Times annex building ran out in safety.
Tbe first, second, third, and fourth floors
were occupied by Dekoskene & Hetber
mgtnn, art metal workers.
- The wind was blowing in a direction
to carry tbe flames to tbe newspaper
building, and in a few minutes tbe struc
ture was on fire. By 9 o'clock the entire
interior was gutted. Tben tbe west wall
and a portion of the east wall fell, tbe
former crushing in a large portion of the
one story power bouse of tbe Philadelphia
Power company. The east wall crashed
the four story building occupied by
Hamilton & Diesioger, manufacturing
"jewelers, and portions ot several buildings
below on Eighth street. Tbe front wall
filled Sansome street with bricks and
stone and damaged tbe building oppo
site. In tbe cellar were the new presses
of tbe Times, which were ruined beyond
repair.. Tbe Paulson House roof was
burned and tbe building soaked with
water. Tbe Continental Hotel escaped
with a slight scorching. Colonel A. C.
McClure, editor of the Times, lost a val
uable political library.
MANY SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Ah the confusion' following tbe fire
somewhat subsided, tbe casualties were
found to be more serious than wag at
first supposed. Forty-one persons were
admitted to tbe Pennsylvania hospital
ana aoout twenty are in a serious condi
tion. Tbe injuries are mainly about the
face, and many, it is feared, have been
blinded for life by the nerce fire through
which tbey ' fougbt. Jefferson hospital
attended thirty of tbe injured, and of this
number, nine .were seriously enough
burned to be kept in the institution. A
number ot people are missing, and it is
not known whether tbey perished or have
remained among the crowd around tbe
ruins'. It is not known, positively, up to
a late hour, whether or not &aj of the
company which was performing at tbe
Central theater were killed or m iu red
but it is reported that William B. Brooks,
Yincencita Cbitten, Sarab Goldman.Thos
Lonlla and bis wife Flora, all of whom
were connected with the company, are
missing. , ,
A Horrible Aecldent-I
Tacoma, Washington, April 27. Edna

Ilun Over by a Train.

the west-bound passenger train on the
Union Pacific was passing into tunnel

city, five masked men, armed with rifles,
approached tbe track, evidently with tbe
intention of holding up the train and
going throngh it. Tbe train usually runs
very slowly at this point, which was tbe
reason this particular place was selected
for the attack. Engineer Stephens was
at tbe throttle, and when be saw tbe rob
bers he had presence of mind to realize
tbe situation, and the courage -to risk bis
life to keep his train from an attack. He
pulled tbe throttle wide open, and tbe
train sprang forward with a leap and left
tbe train robbers :n the lurch. . Tbe pas
sengers are rejoicing at tbeir escspe and
the officials bere are preparing to make
an investigation of tbe affair. Tbis is tbe
