JUDGE MOORE VINDICATED.
The editor of the Chronicle, who
claims to be a Republican and willing
to support even a "yellow dog" on the
ticket, has never ttissed an opportuni
ty ty of decrying Hon. F. A. Moore, the
. j. candidate for supreme judge, because
v certain charges were published against
him in Democratic papers. ' 'In last
' Friday's Oreg'onian, a card appeared
' signed by Killin, Starr fe Thomas,
.x completely exonerating him from any
-
an attorney. These gentlemen were
lawyers in the case which has gained
,' such publicity, and Mr. B. Killing is a
-' prominent Democrat in Portland, and
Mr. Starr a Democratic leader in that
city. If the Chronicle had the least
- inclination to favor, the .Republican
party it should have published this
vindication of the character of a
'prominent candidate; but not one
word in extenuation of ' the charges
. " against Judge , Moore naa ever sp
'., . peared in its columns, and we are
forced to the conclusion that, wearing
, the Republican mask, it is determined
, to do all that it can for the benefit of
' . the Democracy. An enemy in camp
is more dangerous and harmful than a
dozen in' the ranks of the foe, and it
would be a great deal better for the
Republican party in Wasco county if
the Chronicle were to drop its mask
' and come out boldly as a Democratic
organ.
Below we publish the card men
tioned:
Pobtland, Or., May 5th.
To the Editor of the Oregonian:
- Oar attention has. been called to certain
articles published in several of the news
.papers of the state, reflecting on the char
acter and integrity of Hon. F. A. Moore,
' present Republican candidate for supreme
. ' judge of the state.
Having been attorneys in the case men
, tioned in the articles above cited, and be
ing entirely familiar with the facts ot the
' case, we deem it simple justice to say that
the decisions of the courts thoroughly vin
, dicate' Judge Moore, and that, in our judg.
- ment, there is nothing in the whole tran
" . (action which reflects in any degree on the
integrity of : Judge Moore, either as a man
'. or an attorney.
The whole question of Judge Moore'i
. . good faith was fully investigated and tried,
. and the plaintiffs failed to establish, by one
- particle of evidence, any charge that they
i- had made against him. '
.'VT- Very respectfully,
Killin, Stark & Thomas.
other country, busy factories, and un
exampled development of national
wealth and prosperity alike attest its
poorer. So believing, we heartily in
dorse the McKinley law, whose bene
b'crfnt results have already demon
strated its wisdom; and we see in the
reciprocity feature of the law an ade
quate opening of foreign markets to
American products without in any
degree infringing upon the policy of
protection to American labor." The
whole story of - the beneficence of the
Republican policy of protection and
reciprocitybas never been more tersely
and forcibly stated. The national
convention at Minneapolis next month
can hardly do better than to put that
resolution just as it is in the declara'
tion of political faith, upon which the
Republican party is to fight and win
the presidential contest of 1892.

SOCIALISM IN GERMANY.
t ml -
xnere is a strong suspicion auiuug
the officers of troops stationed at Halle
- that the men are being approached by
V socialists with a view to weakening
their allegiance to the government,
- says the San Francisco Chronicle.
A search was made of the barracks a
few days ago and the result verified

are unable to see why they should be
subjected to irksome confinement and
stern discipline merely necause toe
German emperor wants to keep
standing, army in a state of high
'efficiency. Many of these men are
V just as capable of reasoning out social
problems as the authorites, and if they
become impressed witn the idea that a
standing army is wrong as an eco
nomic Question, and that the relations
, of the governing and governed need
-readjustment, there will be trouble.
. This socializing of the army is the
- shrewdest move the socialist party has
. A yet attempted. The German emperor
. . must rely upon his army to suppress
any popular demonstrations in favor
of an extension of the rights of the
people, and if the army fail him he
' will be absolutely helpless. .
v If 'this movement goes on in the
. army it must result in a social revolu
tion in Germany. The people, with

to control this faculty in men by leg

a ruling passion in the human family
since commercial intercourse between
nations began and he who possessed

uries of life than his less for

be so while the world re-
, mains as it is, and it will make little
difference in this regard whether the
Democratic or Republican parties con
trol national affairs. "
On Wednesday last; the Republicans
of Connecticut in state convention at
Hartford, among others, unanimously
- Adopted this resolution: "We believe
' in the principles of protection - to
American industries. It has given to
this country a greater prosperity than
is known to any other nation. Higher

Capt. Bell, the apostle of free-trade,
who is doing missionary work for the
Democratic party in Oregon, made the
following remarks recently at New
port:
"If protection is a good thing and
you do not desire to trade with the
other nations of the world, or win the
commerce of the seas, why not close
up the harbor and depend upon the
artificial and contrasted 'home market
for the fruits of the labor of the
farmers o'f the Willamette valley
that seeks an outlet from your mag'
nificent harbors? If otherwise, break
the shackles that now enslave com
merce, and the flag of every nation
' will gladden your vision and build up
commerce and prosperity to bless and
enrich you."
If the gentleman will turn his at
tention eat, and preach his doctrines,
he would use a different hypothesis.
For instance, if be were addressing
American citizens in Lowell, Mass.,
he would say: "Free-trade is a good
thing, tear down your mills, stop
every- wheel of your factories, turn
your army of operatives on the streets
as beggars or on the highways as
tramps,, and give English manufactur
ers an opportunity to sell their goods
the product of pauper labor. There
is no need of protection, for it furn
ishes employment to American wage
earners and builds up American in
dustries. The United States should
be subservient to Great " Britain, and
every coat, shirt or vest worn and
every knife or implement used should
pay tribute to Manchester and Shef
field." This might not sound well in
manufacturing New England, but it is
in perfect harmony with the gospel of
free-trade that Capt. Bell enunciated
at Yaquina bay. The fact is, the
people of the northwest are satisfied
with the economio policy of protection,
and expect some day to witness an
era of industrial development, when
second New England, in manufactures
and commerce, shall vie with the older
one on the Atlantic seaboard.
THE PORTAGE ROAD.
It is expected that the great im
provement at the Cascades will receive
such an impetus from the appropria
tion contained in the River and Har
bor bill this session of congress that
no fears of its early completion will be
hereafter entertained, and in a few
years the impediment to navigation
will be completely removed at that
point by the construction of the canal
and locks. But this will only open
the river from The Dalles to seaboard,
and there are hundreds of miles of
waterway above this city that could be
made available to the people if the
rapids at this point were oyercomc by
a ! boat railway or- portage railway.
Government engineers have thorough
ly surveyed these rapids, and have
reported in favor of the former
method; but the construction of the
boat railway will take years, and in
the meantime a portage road would
afford temporary relief. It is not
asking too much for Eastern Oregon I reBOiut;on
to petition the next legislature to
grant a sufficient sum to build a rail
road from The Dalles to Cslilo, simi
lar to the One now operated by the
state at the Cascades. This will prac
tically open the Columbia to the pro
ducers of the Inland Empire, and the
amount saved to the country tributary
to the Columbia, in low freights until
the boat railway is finished' by the
government will more than equal
the cost of its construction. Every
public institution of Oregon, from the
of citizenship, and he has the same
right to exercise the elective franchise
as though lie were not connected wiib
any religious denomination; but there
may be danger of church dictation in
temporal affairs, and he who loves his
country cannot be too iealous of his
inherent individual freedom.
PROTECTION IN I860.
In looking over a paper to-day we
stumbled on the following paragraph
in the Oregon Alliance Herald,
credited to the Peoples Paper:
Does the Republicans know that Abra
ham Lincoln was elected president of the
United States in I860 on an absolutely free-
trade ulatform? The Lincoln clubs will do
well to study Lincoln's political tenets.
Tbey are all right, and not in accord with
tbe Republican party of to-day.
In 1860, the platform adopted by
the National Republican convention,
then in session in Chicago, May 17 th,
on which Abraham Lincoln was elected,
contained the following ss the 12th
university to tbe reform school, is
located west of the ' Cascades, and the
portion east of the mountains should
be entitled to some consideration. If
the road costs $450,000, this is a mere
bogatelle to what has been appropri
ated for the state capitol, university,
penitentiary, eta, and some way of
reaching? seaboard by cheap water
communication is an urgent necessity
with farmers and wool-growers. A
That, while providing revenue for the
support ot the general government by du
ties upon imports,, sound policy requires
such an adjustment of these imports as to
encourage the development of the industrial
interest of the whole country; and we com
mend that policy of national exchanges
which secures to the working men liberal
wages, to agriculture remunerative prices,
to mechanics and manufacturers an ade
quate reward for their skill, labor, and en
terprise, and to the nation commercial pros
perity and independence.
Hon. James G. Blaine, in a speech
before a Republican mass meeting at
Farmiogton, Maine, on- July 4, 1860,
used the following language in expla
nation of this plank of tbe platform:
There is another great step forward which
tbe Republican party has taken in its na
tional platform of this year reaffirmed
with special emphasis in the state platform
of Maine. . In 1856 the issue was entirely
confined to resistance to aggressions of
slavery, but since that date the financial re
vulsions which have led to such distress in
the ennntrv have turned men's minds to the
portage road will answer this purpose falIacr and the failure ot tbe free.traae
until the sbip-railway is bunt by the policy which for the last fourteen years has
government,and the legislature elected I been adopted and enforced by the Demo-
next month should make the appro
priation required.
PRODUCE FACTS.
In an editorial one day last week
we made the assertion that "a better
financial system had never been adopt
ed by any nation than the one now in
cratio nartv. The prosperity which was
said to have been caused by the tariff of
1846 has received a rude shock, and three
years ago a disastrous panic swept oyer the
country leaving all business embarrassed, if
not prostrate. For several years prior to
that date, every man who believed in the
policy ot protection had been ridiculed and
taunted and pointed to the indisputable
nnvif ni tht. afloftntAOA nf ffAA-trndn to he

tion and in the belief that the reneal of th3
position and to fill space, we suppose, tariff of 1842 was a great national blunder,

ho, to New Jersey, and from 1888 to of popular discussion.
"a.iew days ago," for instances in n tDat protectionists at-
as
The River and Harbor bill,
passed, is all the people of Eastern
Oregon could expect from the present
congress, and we hope our senators
will not attempt to incorporate in this
liberal appropriation measure anxtra
sum of $2,800,000 for the boat rail
way above this city, and which very
probably would insure its defeat when
returned to the lower house. Sena
tors Dolph and Mitchell have always
been very friendly towards . the im
provement of the Columbia river, and
the people are under many obligations
to them for favors received ' in the
shape of increased appropriations for
Oregon in the River and Harbor bill;
but, on this occasion, it will not do to
test the temper 61 the Democratic ma
jority in the lower branch of congress
by adding to the amount the sum
necessary for the project to overcome
the impediments to navigation be
tween The Dalles and Celilo.. . We
will admit there is great need for the
latter, and the producers would gladly
welcome congressional aid sufficient to
finish the boat railway; but this is too
much to expect at one session, and
they are fearful that by asking - too
much they may receive too little.
The passage of the River and Har
bor bill, with the clause providing for
the completion of the locks at the Cas
cades by contract, by the lower house
of congress, as announced in a dispatch
published elsewhere, is welcome news
to the producers of the Inland Empire,
jno tear or the success or the bill in
the senate need be entertained, as that
body has always favored liberal ap
propriations for public improvements;
and,' with this measure a law, the
present session of congress will have
done more for an open river than any
one that has ever assembled m Wash
ington City. Too much praise cannot
be given to Hon. Binger Hermann for
his indefatiguable efforts in inaugu
rating' the contract system in iegard to
the work at the Cascade Locks and
for the passage of the bill through the
Democratic house. He has always
been an earnest worker for the best
interests of his constituents, and we
consider this the crowning act of his
congressional career. Mr.' Hermann
ba8.made more votes by this bill pass
ing the house than if he had spent six
weeks canvassing every portion of his
district.
Hon. R. P. Earhart, well known in
Oregon, having filled . the office of
secretary of state two or more terms,

of Bright's disease. 'He was a gentle
man of excellent reputation, and had

of the state for many years. There
were few men more popular than Mr.
Earhart As an official ho gave entire
satisfaction, and as a citizen he was
lwayB highly respected. '
There were four carloads of cattle from
Wallowa county at Saltmarshe's stock yards

In fact, the editor
inflicts a . column of jumbled ver
bosity upon his readers in place of ar
gument, and which has no more, rele
vancy to the premises he attempts to
contradict than the River and Harbor
bill has to Darwin's "Origin of Spe
cies." Our language was plain, and,
if untrue, can be easily controverted.
If he can mention a single nation that
perity under that tariff (from 1846 to 1856)
was due to a series of what might be termed
fortuitous circumstances all involving good
fortune to the United States and ill fortune
to other nations.'
In 1846,' the tariff of 1842 was re
pealed, and Mr. Blaine points out
causes of the prosperity of the country
from 1846 to 1857 war with Mex
ico, famine in Ireland, tumults . and
revolutions in Europe, discovery of
gold in California and the Crimean
war, creating increased demand tor

A MmugKler'rt Fate.
Victoria, B. C , May 11. Yesterday
a telegram from Astoria announced that
tbe Victoria sealing-scbooDer Lottie, "tbe
baby of the fleet," bad been picked up
dismantled and clean swept, floating
bottom up offTilluniouk, near the mouth
of tbe Culurcbia river. Search was im
mediately made at the customs house for
the names of the rnisain crew, when a
strange circumstance presented itself
that no one bad been signed in the usual
way for tim ciuise. It was explained
that Captain Butler's couipaoi:inj were
his partners in the enterprise, and tbe
articles were therefore not required. Tbe
reporters, prosecuting inquiries as to tbe
lost men, stumbled on the fact that while
posing as s sealer tbe Lottie real charac
ter was that ot a IRinests terry-boat.
Early in April she was chartered from
ber owner ostensibly for sealing. Sbe
made one bhort trip and then returned to
port and took on buppiies, scarcely suffi
cient for a sealing cruise, but stilt quite
enough for her purpose. Atler clearing
from tbe custom house April 17th, in tbe
usual way, she anchored in Lagoon, not
far from tbe entrance to Victoria harbor.
Here sbe lay for a day or two, apparently
waitiug for better weather, and here sbe
took on board twenty eight Victoria
Chinamen who were anxious to be landed
on California soil, as near as possible to
Han Francisco. Tbey were willing to
take (be risks of a sea voyage along the
coast, and these risks are not ioconsider
able, when tbe trip was made in a
cockleshell like the Lottie. Tbey thought
that in toe event ot bad weather tbey
could run into some port lor shelter,

An Alaska Outrage.
Poet Townsend, Hay 11. Dr. J. C.
Connette, who has charge of the Quaker
mission at Douglas Island, .Alaska, was
inveigled from home by unknown persons
and subjected to a coat of tar and feathers
April 23d. This culminated tbe trouble
between the whisky smugglers of Alaska
and. tbe missionary element, which origi
nated ic killing ot Uharles hi. j&dwards, a
school teacher, January iOtb. by drunken
Indians at Kate Island. Connette ' had
relieved Edwards at the Douglas Island
Quaker mission, and tbe later began tbe
establishment of a mission on Kate Island
among wild and fierce tribes of Indians.
Two whisky , sm'uggters from Juneau
appeared on tbe scene and disposed of
liquor. . Edwards remonstrated and
the. drunken infuriated - savages . killed
him and bis interpreter. Connette took
up tbe case and endeavoaed to bring tbe
smugglers to justice, lie published an
account of. the trouble in eastern papers,
which displeased tbe Honor element of
Douglas -Island. Late . Sunday v night,
April 23d, a messenger went to . Dr.
Coonette's office at tbe mission and said
a workman in one of the' mines was
dangerously wounded. As be emerged
into tbe darkness tbe crowd seized,
bound and gagged him. After a liberal
application of tar and feathers, assistance
came and tbe crowd fled into tbe dark
ness and woods. Dr. Connette is a prom
inent factor in tbe Presbyterian affairs of
Alaska. , ...
ICelief In suicide.
St. Louis, May 12. The identification
of the body of Mr. John Williams bv his
wife at the morguo today brought forth
a pathetic story of suicide as a release
from proverty. Mr. and Mrs Williams
came to tbis city from Warrensburg, Mo,
woere tney naa oeen married two years
ago. Williams secured work, but was
discharged about a month ago, and had
not been able to obtain employment since.
All their .nooey was soon spent, and
tbey were forced to sell their household
belongings to obtain food. Beiuc re
duced to tbe last extremity, and thwarted
in every attempt to better tbeir condition,
tney determined to take their lives.
Having no money to boy poison, they
decided to drown themselves, and
selected different points oa the river to
accomplish tbe purpose. Mrs. Will
iams went to tbe foot of Spurce street
and threw herself into tbe water. Sbe
was seen by a boatman, who went to her
rescue, and cangbt ber just as sbe was
sinking tbe tbiid time. The woman was
taken to tbe hospital, where sbe recovered.
A day later, thiuking her husband
might have been rescued, sbe began a
search tor bim, but failing in tbis, she
again on last Friday sought the river,
wbere sbe made another attempt to
drown herself. Again sbe was rescued
by a boatman who pulled ber out of tbe
water with a boat hook. Having recov
ered from ber second attempt, Mrs Will
iams went to tbe morgue, today in search
ot ner nusoana and lound tbe body 00 a

were noitfied tbey began a search lor tbe

a disastrous break in some of the lower

JJabcelona, Venezuela, May-11.-
-The!
situation m Venezuela is sot materially
changed. Desertions continue from tbe
government army. The deserters are
principally peasants and laborers recently
conscripted. Several skirmishes have
taken place between tbe advance post of
the revolutionists and government forces,
but there has been no important fighting
repotted since tbe battle . at falito, in
which tbe troops sent out from Puerto
Cabello by Palacio's general were defeated
At Laeuayra and. Puerto Cabello all is
quiet at present, and there is no longer
any difficulty in discharging or loading
cargoes. Ine normal condition of affairs
is largely restored. No definite news bas
been received from tbe seat of the revolu
tion. It is generally supposed, however.
tbat tbe cause of rebellion is progressing
favorably. In all likelihood, tbe next big
battle will be fongbt at La Victoria. Tbe
revolutionists surround tbat town-on all
ides, preventing communication between
t and Caracas. Palacio's troops cannot
render anv aid to tne besieged town.
Crespo's men occupy all the commanding
beigbts around JLa Victoria, Tbe lull now
existing cannot last 'long. ' Crespo con
tinues to receive arms and ammunition.
When a full supply - shall have been
obtained, he will assome tbe offensive.
Until now be bas been content to main

absolutely no cause for alarm. Tbe rains

Douglas, Wyo May 10. Interesting
news may be expected from northern
Wyoming within a day or two. Rustler
roundups began in Johnson and Sheri
dan counties last Friday, which is earlier
than allowed by law. The object of this
is to enable tbe rustlers to cover the en
tire range in advance of tbe regular
roundups and brand everything with
boots aod boras, so wnen tbe cattlemen
come to gather and brand the Increase,
do increase will be found. Tbe stockmen
applied to the United States court last
week vbich issued a temporary lojunct-.
ion restraining some forty or more
defendants fiom instituting illegal
roundups. United States Marshal Rank
in started for Buffalo accompanied by Jeff
Carr, and both should reach Gillette
today. When they arrive tbey will find
tbe roundups well under way, and in an
attempt to serve papers there will likely
be trouble. I be rustler will hardly
submit to so small a force, and the
marshal will probaly be compelled . to
organize a posse or summon troops to
enforce tbe orders of the court. The
situation Is critical.
