THE TICKET.
The wisdom of the delegates to tbe
recent state and county conventions
was folly demonstrated in the names
. they presented for the sullragus of tbu
people, each one of whom is compe
tent for the position and irreproacha
ble in character.
Hon. F. A. Moore heads the ticket
for supreme judge, and is an admiral le
selection and qualified in every re
gard for the office He is a gentleman
of unblemished reputation, and a
' lawyer of acknowledged ability in the
XI. S. and higher courts of the state.
For attorney general, Hon. L'onel
R. Webster fa the proper person. lie
is a thorough jurist, and not the leust
charge has been proved against his
character. . Possessed of a legal, dis
criminating mind, the position, in this
instance, seeks the man.
. Hon-W. R. Ellis, for member of
congress, second district, is truly the
people'8 choice. , Of a firm, uncom
.' promising character, he will be the
right man to do determined battle for
an open river, and will be .a worthy
and capable coadjutor of Hon. Binger
Hermann in the fight for the inter
ests of the Inland Empire.'
No one is better known in this dis
trict than Hon. Geo. Watkins, the
candidate for circuit judge. As sena-
tor from Wasco he was the foremost
VOTE TBE TICKET.
Next Monday the citizens of the
state of Oregon will be called upon to
cant their ballot for tlioir choice of
officials, and the election is very im
portant because in November a presi
dent will be chosen who will admin
ister national affairs for the next four
years. All eyes will bo turned
toward this state, and the Republican
nations', convention next Tuesday,
which convenes in Minneapolis, will
eagerly watch for the result,
as the creat industrial interests
of the northwest should be deeply con
cerned in the progressive policy of pro
tection. If the Democratic ticket is
successful it will say to the Republi
cans in convention, the leading state
of the Pacific northwest desirrs free-
trade, and no development of her rich
natural resources; while, on the con
trary, if the usual majority is given
the Republican candidates it will be
an endorsement of the McKinley bill
and the distinctive American policy
as the proper one for Americans.
From i856 until the present year
the Republican party has been one of
principles and not of expedients. At
the outbreak of the civil war,
standing solidly in favor of the
union of the states, after four years
of determined conflict, it was re
warded by witnessing the complete
champion for the portage road at the discomfiture of its enemies, and a na-

considerable credit.
. The present incumbent of the dis
trict attorney's office, Hon. W. H.
Wilson, is a candidate for re-election.
He has proved himself competent in
every particular, and a better selection
could not be made. In .many instan
ces,' by Mr. Wilson's indefatiguable
efforts crime has., been punished and
the community protected from vicious-
ness. He is a self-made man, and one
to-day the wisdom of its course is
demonstrated by government bonds
being eagerly 'sought in every country
on the face of the globe. It has stood
unflinchingly in support of protection
to American industries,' against the
opposition of the Democracy, and the
result has been that the products of
our looms and furnaces have competed
in foreign markets with those of na
tions which, for centuries, have studied
in whom all can place the utmost con- the art 0f manufacturing in all its de-
fidence.
Mr, John Luckey, for member of I
the state board of equalization, is' an
excellent selection, and we know of
no man who could fill this difficult po
si tion as well. Of an honest, upright
character, no one need have the least
doubt of the justness qf his decisions
regarding valuations.
For joint-senator for the counties of
Sherman and Wasco, Mr. H. S. Mc-
tails. Still further, this protection
policy of Republicans has been the
means of giving to our wage-earner a
higher price for their labor, thus af
fording them a liberal support of
themselves and families and the prob
ability, by the exercise of economy, of
gaining a competence, however hum
ble their vocation. The policy of the
Republican party has not only secured
to each citizen the enjoyment of life,

identical with the people's, and it can
be positively stated that in him the
producers will have a friend who can
not be awed by threats or moved by
favors.
' " The same can be said of Mr. W. W,
Steiwer, the candidate for joint-sena
tor for the three counties of Gilliam,
Sherman and Wasco. An intelligent
man, whose interests' are the same as
' those of the farmers and sheep
growers of the Inland Empire, he is
the proper man to be elected to' the
office.
Messrs. K N. Chandler and T. R.
Coon, the nominees for joint-repre
sentatives are men in whom the citi
zens can place implicit . confidence.
Nothing will be omitted or neglected
which will be for the development of
the region of country east of the Cas-
. cades.
The county ticket is composed of
the best material that could be select
ed from the whole body of fellow citi
zens. '
Hon. C. N. Thornbury has been an
' exceptionably , capable county judge,
and during his incumbency the great-
' est care has been taken of finances,
and great j improvements made in our
highways. He should be re-elected,
- Mr. J. M. Huntington, for county
clerk, is a correct accountant, and
would make a very competent official
He has had experience in tbe minu
tiae of the office from acting as dep-
' uty. ; An honest, capable man he
would make a good official.
For bheriff, Mr. C. P. Balch, is the
right man in the right place. An
active, energetic young man, he would
give general satisfaction as an execu
tive officer. He is very popular, and
few men could fill the position as well.
Dr. H. A. Leavens, the present
commissioner, is a candidate for re
election. His fitness for . the do
ties, and tbe acceptable manner in
which he has fulfilled them, make his
election very desirable. Every man
snows' Dr. .Leavens, and be will re
ceive a large vote.
' Mr. Wm. Michell, for treasurer, is
a peculiarly appropriate nomination,
Bnrned out ot home and business in
' the September fire, there is not much
' doubt that the electors of Wasco will
give him a large majority. His hon
esty and competency has never been
doubted,
For assessor, Mr. Joel W. Koontz.ia
a man thoroughly acquainted with
valuations, and particularly adapted to
the position. He has all the requis
ites for the office integrity, capability
and cool discernment.
Prof. Troy Shelley, our present
school superintendent, takes the' great
est interest in school matters, and his
management of affairs during the past
two years is an unanswerable argu
ment for his reflection.
Mr. JS. F. Sharp has proved himself an
intelligent surveyor, and that he should
0 -
be-re-elected goes without say log. A
better nomination could Dot be made.
For coroner too much cannot- bo laid
in favor of Mr. N. M. Eastwood, who is
a roan of sterliog traits of character, and
who will exercise the necessary qualities
in the duties of the office. His election
is beyond question.
These are the men to vote for next
PROTECTIVE POLICY.
There are many men who have been
nurtured in the Democratic faith, an
have adopted tha policy of that party
without realizing how it applies to the
advancement of the general progress
of the American nation. There is no
doubt that the privilege of establish
ing a foreign trade which would be of
local assistance would La acceptable in
many localities; but when we realize
that human selfishness establishes it
self in the interests of any trade where
it has no competition, to qualify an
control that trade; he who buys tbe
products of foreign labor and of for
eign machinery must see that he feed
foreteu labor, establishes and fosttrs
foreign industries, pays foreign taxes.
simply for the differenc3 between th'
cost of foreign made commodities and
American-made commodities, which
must be maintained if we would pay
American labor employed in the man
ufacturing thereof a fair return for its
efforts, instead of paving such em
ployed labor what fore-gn labor
forced to receive for the same work.
Our object in establishing and pro
posing to maintain a country of inde
Dendence. to build interests in behalf
of the American nation, demanded.
first of all, after having by blood and
tho most determined warfare estab
lished independence, that the nation
defend its people in their own indus
tries, and by united power build for
the inhabitants every privilege which
is a comfort to them.
The wonderful - prestige of such
policy, when faithfully applied, either
in civil or industrial life as well as in
the profound progress of a nation, is
shown in the immense advancement' of
the American nation, which has mad
but little change, since the policy was
forced upon tbe nation by the necessi
ties of the civil war.
And this unqualified power, greater
under the foundations of the United
Stales, than under the structure of any
foreign nation, has, been builded and
established by a sovereignty of ele
ments and resources, managed, quali
fied and diversified by the national
government in behalf of its own
people.
We have no objection to a reciprocity
of interests and of exchange with the
nations of the world; but never to
give other nations a free privilege to
step upon American soil, and plan our
domestic laws and enactments in the
express privilege of the people of their
country regardless of the progress
of our own people.
It is not strange that commerce,
which is largely under the influence of
foreign capital and of foreign influ
ences, should favor a policy which
would increase tbe earnings of com
mercial capital and of foreign trade

American tin-plate is produced in consid
erable quantities in Anderson, Ind. The

The "imported" workmen increase
the army of consumers, and enlarges
the demand for cereal productions.
Without "imported" laborers the coun
try to-day would have little more
population than it had during the
oolonial period. The tin-plate manu
facturers principally come from Wales,
where, before tbe passage of the Mc
Kinley bi'l the industry was carried
on quite extensively, and Welshmen
are sober, honest and industrious and
make good American citizens. It
could not be expected that at the first
introduction of the manufacture of
tin-plate skilled laborers could be
found in this country, and foreigners
acquainted with tbe buuiness would not
be forced to instruct our people in- the
operation: but the American mind is
quick to acquire knowledge, and in a
few years we shall have as skillful tin-
plate workers as these Welshmen. In
the meantime this foreign element will
have become naturalized, and we can
see no objection against welcoming
honest wage-earners to our shores.

The report shows not a single industry
in which the advantage is not in favor
of the wage workers of the United
States. With this showing, does pro
tection damage the American laborer?
The Democratic press of the state
have inaugurated a campaign of mud
and filth in regard to tbe Republican
candidates for supreme judge and attorney-general;
but this-will react, as
both these gentlemen are citizens irre
proachable in character and of great
moral worth. . It is not advisable' in
politics to publish falsehoods regarding
an opposing candidate, as the Ameri
can people are inclined to discrimina
tion, and cannot be influenced to
change their political preferences by
reason of false charges brought into
life during a political campaign. We
are thankful that not a single Repub
lican paper has attempted to transfer
the political contest from a logical dis
cussion of the tariff to a battle on
wheat-producing states of tbe west
and north west have been settled, and
millions of bushels of grain have been
produced in that portion of the union
which was then wild forest or prairie
lands, and this has largely increased
the supply. 'The demand has not
multiplied in the same ratio, and of
course our farmers must look to a for
eign market to sell their surplus. With
these facts conceded, it is easily un
derstood that the object of the Repub
lican party in fostering American in
dustries is to create a Lome market
for American nroducts. Every one
who is engaged in manufacturing is a
consumer, and if the tin-plate indus
try in this country will give employ
ment in a few years to several thous
and men, these will be purchasers cf
flour and. wearers of woolen goods.
By such means the Republicans hope
in time to create a home market for a
large portion of the surplus products
of the country. But our country is so
prolific in the production of grain that
while 38 to 45 bushels of wheat to the
acre are raised large quantities will
seek a foreign market, and the price
be regulated by foreign necessities.
TELEGRAPHIC.
TIN-PLATE AGAIN".
The last report of the American
Iron and Steel Association, says an
eastern exchange, takes note of "our
new tin-plate industry;" in fact it de
votes about three of its eighty-three
pages to it. It says that in February,
1892, there were twenty tin-plate
works in operation in this country, or
ready to commence operation, and ten
in course of construction, and that
since then several have gone into
operation, and some new ones have
got under way of construction. So
much for the number of works created
by the McKinley bill
Now as to its effect upon prices. In
January, 1890, cot year and seven
months before the tariff giving pro
tection to American tin-plate had
gone into operation, the average price
of I. C. Coke Bessemer tin-plates, free
on board ship at Liverpool, for the
American market, was 16s 5d, Eng
lish mocey, being a very trifle less
than $4 per box. It maintained a
steady increase during nearly every
month of that year, till in December
it stood at 17s 3d, or at $4.14 per box.
In February, of 1891, six months be
fore the McKinley tariff on tin-plate
went into effect, the price at Liverpool
for American shipment was 18s, or
$4.32.
But in January, 1892, six months
after the increased protection to
American made plate, the price at
Liverpool for shipment to New York
had fallen to 12s lOd, or rather less
than $3.25, and in April of this year
it had made another drop of 1 0 cents.
The lesson is plain; the British ex
porter of tin-plate is paying the greater
part of the increase of the tariff, in
order to get his goods into competition
with the American product. .
English prices for export to Ameri
ca have tallen, as the hgures just
quoted prove. Let us see if the very
small residue of increased tariff that
lies between the old duty of 1 cent
and. the new one of 2 1-5 cents, after
the British reduction of price is allowed
for, has been added to the price paid
by the American consumer.
Jt has not, J) or the price of im
ported Bessemer bright tin-plates was
$5.47 in New York during February,
1891, six months before the increase of
duty.and $5.30 in February,1892,eight
months after it had gone into effect
American made tin-plate now has a
firm footing in the market, and it will
keep it, and its ultimate effect will be
to lower prices and improve quality,
Besides which, it will give employ
ment to thousands of American peo
ple, and will keep millions of Ameri
can dollars at home that heretofore
have been sent to England.
General Crime Slews.
Sacramento, Cal., May 31.- About 11
o'clock to-night a hignbinder war broke
out in the Chinese quarter, not 50 yards
from J street. There bave been several
outbreaks of late, but they resulted only
in the occasional wouDiliog of some
Chinamen. To-nitrht. bowevt-r, war
broke out in earnest, and for half a min
ute thero was a perfect fubilatle on Third
street la front oi a highbinder's den, also
on I street in front of tbe hcanqiiarlcrs u
another so.-.iety. Shots were rxcheuged
across tbe street in rapid succession. An
electric car huppened to be ou the track
between the contending parties, and a
storm of bullets whistled through the
open car about the beads of tbe pass
engers, who climbed out the best way
thev could. The cunducto" and motor-
man put on the brakes and abandoned
ibeir posts in baste. When the smoke
ceared away, two dead Chinamen wete

How many others were wounded and
escaped is not known. Tbe gang did its
shooting from a balcony. One man, a
peaceable cigar-maker, who has a wite
and two little girls, was shot while in bis
own place of business and died in the
arms of bis wife. The police bave ar

armed with big pistols, and several of
the weapons had recently been dis

among tbe wbite citizens over tbe outrage.
Tar and Feathers.
Rio Vista, Cal., May 31. James
Hetberiogton was tarred and feathered
here yesterday, and also given 75 lashes
with a rawhide whip by a masked body
ot 25 leading citizens. On Sunday after
noon Hetberiogton attempted to kill bis
wife. He knocked her down and jumped
on her chest with both feet. He also
attacked her with a butcher knife inflict
ing several flesh wounds about the face
and neck, and tbe woman is now lying
in a very critical condition. Her life was
saved by tbe timely arrival of Road
master Kevin on the scene. Hethering
ton was arrested, tbe officers making tbe
arrest under difficulty, as tbe gathering
crowd attempted at first to lynch him.
Hetberiogton is a bad character, having
served a year in the county ja'l for at
tempting to kill Hans Rosten three years
ago: A masked mob secured tbe jail key
from tbe night watchman, Henry Grady.
Tbey took Hetherington out of jail and
strung bim up in the causeway leading
to tbe jail, so that bis toes barely touched
the ground, and tbe 25 present were al
lowed three lashes "each, which tbey took,
a lew making it five. A coating of tar
and feathers was then administered and
the prisoner was returned to the lock up.
Hetberiogton says he recognized one man,
and as soon as he is free he nays he will
blow tbe man's brains out.
The dispatches say that Mr. Blaine
is out of tbe presidential fight, and the
attempted "boom" has collapsed.
This will be more definitely ascertained
next week, after the national conven

Since then the negroes bave been search

Tbe Venezuela Revolution.
Caracas, Venezuela, June 1. Palacio
is distressed at the reports that are
reaching bim from all sections ot the
country about tbe part taken by tbe
priests in the uprising against bis dicta
torship, and be is threatening the church
with retaliation unless the clergy are
ordered to stop fighting the government.
In pursuance of this piao the dictator
sent word to the archbishop that if the
priests continue to side with the' revolu
tionists there will be a dissolution of
church and state. Serious complications
are likely to grow out of this aftair.
The Catholic population is greatly ex
cited about it. Fears are entertained
that it the archbishop refuses to comply
wnh Palacio's demand the latter will
imprison bim. To prevent this tbe
Catholics are arming themselves. They
will not submit tamely to tbeir prelate's
incarceration.
GOVERNMENT TROOPS DEFEATED.
Valencia, Venezuela, June 1. Near

by Father Zuelta. Dstails are wanting,
but Zuetla is said to have been the vic

Tbe Silver Bill. -
1 Wasbington, May 31. In senate tbe
calendar was laid aside at 2 o'clock, and
tbe bill to provide for tbe free coinage of
gold and silver was taken up. There
were then about a dozen senators on each
side of tbe chamber. Sherman bad been
in bis seat for tbe preceding balf hour
waiting for tbe bill to be taken up. Teller
and Stewart were also present in frequent
consultation. Sherman prefaced tbe
peecb on tbe silver bill by saying he did
not regard it as a partisan measure, or a
political measure, on which the parties
would likely divide. It was largely a
local measure. There was no question to
be compared with it in importance, or in
its effects on tbe business interests of the
country.

It is the most popular financial sod
