FORSIGNERS.
In discussing the question of -the
late riots, . some intense nationalist
: blame the foreign element in our coun
tr for the crimes committed, ana we
' consider this a great injustice . to
' " ' . - , ' i . i i - - ?
zensJ We arecjoBinced that the na
. tivea of the.Uoited States, under the
same conditions, are. as lawless as tier
. mans, Irish, Scotch or 'Swede?, and
- "because in some instances . the discon
tented classesfhave sought to perpetu
: ate anarchy and communism brpugh
to life and nurtured in them by the
despotism 'of tyrants in the United
States, it is a gross injustice to classify
all foreigners as such." In almost every
community in tnis.. country. mere are
leading men not. "to the manner ticrn,"
and very mauy Americans are onlf
; one generation removed from the ele
nient which occupy the same place in
the minds of some as the Helots did
to the Spartans. This pride of nation
ality is the emptiest of all human vara
ties, and a . Mongolian, Hottentot,
Hindoo or Tartar, if the accident of
birth ovei whish he had no control :
placed him in this country, is
much entitled to the name of Ameri-
1 . 1 j 1 " . 1 1 T t
in New England or the Cavaliers in
Virginia! There , is . more merit in
being allied to the race division of the
human - family, because ancestry is
more productive of characteristics in
the individual than birth in any privi
leged nation.
It may be true that the majority cf
the union men in the Cceur d'Alene
mines and of the strikers at Home-i-stead
were foreigners; bat the mere
fact of their being Irish, Scotch or
rrencn oy oirtn snouia nave no mnu-
ence in determining the degree of the
crime.- A negro was burned to death
- r A -t i-ti: . 1 I. . ..L
. ill ATKanses, uuiuauinu . were uuiui
prpd in Wvnmini?. White Cans have
-. rf o 7 .-- r
committed brutal outrages in Indiana
and other states,' and those who have
been guilty of these acts, which make
. modern " . civilization blush, were
Americans. We . should be just
in all our criticisms, and not carry
our nationalism so far as to imagine
that the people who are born in the
United States have a higher concep
tion of the refinements of life and a
greater respect for law and order than
those whose mothers resided abroad at
the time of their birth. It is not in
accordance with the intellectual ad
vancement of the age,' or the spirit of
free institutions to divide the world
into Americans and foreigners, the
former consisting of the cream and the
latter of the dregs of creation.
There are Russian nihilists, but
they believe in constitutional govern
ment and only aim at the destruction
of absolute despotism. Americans,
with the same environment, .. would
have as intense hatred of the czar.
Socialism is nrevalent in Germanv:
. bet its aim is more, reformatory of the
conditions of existing social relations
than destructive of established forms
of government The anarchist and
communist have ild, unstable notions
of what should be, or, rather, what
should not ' be, and are political out-
- casts in Germany and ; France. ' But
' Europe is not the . only place where
strange ideas take root and bear' un-
. KMmlv frnik . Th OnoirlfL rnmmnnitv
in New York, the Mormons of Salt
' Lake and other ."societies" in - Ihia
country show that the American was
created out of the sawe imperfect ma
terial as his neighbor and brother on
the other side of the Atlantic.
. Education is very generally diffused
in the United States but it is not
universal as it is in Germany. ' The
great German,' French . and English
universities lead in all branches of
technical knowledge, and,' while we
take pride in Harvard, Yale, Cornell
and Princeton, foreigners can boast of
Berlin, Heidelberg, Academy of Paris,
Oxford and Trinity. Von Hoi tz, a
German, is authority on our constitu
tion, and De Tocqueville, a French
man, has written the meat elaborate
treatise on the American republic. '
As Americans we should be liberal
and just, and give honor to whom it is
due. The home-builders of Wiscon
sin, Minnesota and Iowa, even if they
were born in Sweden, Norway and
Germany, ." should r receivo cred.it for
hewing down forests and plowing the
. boundless prairie, thus making a re-
. ii' rl-j.l:. u
giuu uaburuiijr luruiuuiu iuu ftiica ui
populous cities and attractive to fami
lies. Before the . Christian . era the
world may have been divided between
Greeks ' and barbarians;' but in this
epoch, the latter part of the nineteenth
ceiitury the American is equal to the
German the Englishman to the Ro
sisn, the Swede to. the Italian, etc., if
they possess the same intelligence, and
are governed in their social, relations
by the same cultured refinement. - -
' The discussion, regarding the death
of Mrs. Rogers has created great inter
est in the matter, all over' the state.
Before the crime can be proved, death
must be proved by poison by a person
or person competent to make the
analysis, and who have been trained in
that scientific branch of education; and
before the defendant,' who..' is now
bound over to the grand jury, can be
proved guilty of the crime, there must
be evidence produced which convinces
the minds of the jury beyond a reason
able doubt that he was the person who
knowingly administered' the poison. '
.- . r T:
The presidential campaign is ununu
ally quiet thus far, and nothing occurs
to disturb the serenity of every-day
affairs," except the fruitless attempts of
the Democratic- press to prove that
the country w fast going to i ruin jnn
der the Republican - protection policy,
and the advantage to be' gained ly
adopting' English free-trade, - Cleve
Jand is "away down in Main" eating
blue fish to supply the brain waste
caised by hi defeat four years ago,
and to overcome the df presingrffect
on his mental 1 faculties of the gloomy
outlook in th approaching November
election: aiid Hahison. with his fam-i-
fly,1 is enjoying life in liis coftage by
the sea. Bat this U -the calm before
the storm, and the political rostrum
will beleli forth its thunders in a few
days.
It appears from the dispatch pub
lished elsewhere, and from the article
Tu the Oregwxian this morning, tha'
there will be some necessary delajt jbe
fore work can htj begun on the lock
at the CMde8, -and the eight-hou
law iil also cause some complications.
The plans and specifications should be
furnished at tbe earliest possible date,
and the contract should be let for the
entire worx. "If ..the secretary of war
tnkes this view of the matter, and this
is to be'inferred from Mr. Hermaun's
telegram, when operations are re-
3 ... ...
suaied thr-y will bo pushed to a speedy
completion. It is not to' be expected
that the board of engineers fawor the
contract system for many reasons: but
open rivers are of greater importance
to the people than the personal de-
sirts of .any membur of the engineer
corps. The completion of this great
work at the Cascades will benefit the
producers of the Inland Empire, end
their necessities are more urgent than
the likes or dislikes of Major Hand
bury. We have no doubt he is coat
petent for the prosecution of the work;
but the people, who are directly inter
ested, desire to see their products car
ried to seaboard by water transporta
tion, without breaking, careo, as
quickly as possible. ' For this reason
the contract . system was favored, and
it is to be expected that the secretary
of war will so far carry out the intent
of the bill and the wishes of the pub
lic that there will be no more vexa
tious delays. -
BrddsXreet's says: "An illustration
of the kind of report which is of value
as a basis for legislation is furnished
in the partial, repori on wages and
prices submitted by the senate com
mittee on finance a short time ago.
This report was unanimous and dealt
with facts alone, leaving out of consid
eration the application wnicn mignt
be made of the facts in advocacy or in
criticism of existing or proposed legis
lation. An example of. a different
class of report is furnished in the ma
jority and minority reports recently
submitted by the bouse committee on
agriculture on the effect of the exist
ing tariff law on agriculture. The
conclusion, of the majority is that ag
riculture has suffered under tbe oper
ation of the existing tariff law and of
those which immediately preceded it,
Congress has adjourned, and very
soon the members of the Oregon del
egation will be far distant from War.h
ington City, and any possibility of
them urging upon the secretary of war
the necessity of immediate action re
garding the preliminaries to the con
tract system will have passed. We
called attention to this important mat
ter several days ago, but nothing was
done. We believe it is now too late
to do anything, and work at the Locks
will be suspended until the department
sees fit to let the contract. This is
equal to an indefinite postponement,
and no one can surmise when operations
will be resumed. .
Senator Allison wound up the busi
ness of the upper house by neat lit
tle speech, in which he had something
to say about the expenditures of the
Democratic congress. which( was not
suited to the extremely delicate feel
ings of the , members of that party.
He said Democrats had promised a
reduction of $100,000,000 in expenses,
when the fact was that expenditure
had been greater than during Repub
lican rule. By the way, we haven t
seen anything for months past in ' the
Democratic press about the billion-
dollar Republican congrets. " ";'
It appears to be the programme of
Major Handbury to delay the work at
the Cascade locks as much as possible,
since it has been changed to the con
tract system. : If our citizens had 'ap
pealed to the Oregon delegation, while
the members Were still in Washingfon
City, this little game of . the gallant
.Major might have been checkmated.
It is not yet too late to urge the sec
retary of war to ' the utmost diligence
letting the contract, as Senator
Mitchell and Mr. Hermann are still
at the capital, and a telegram would
only cost a few dollars. '
Very many of our Democratic ex
changes seem to take especial delight
in publishing column after column
against the course pursued by the Ore
gonian politically; but the great daily
keeps on printing the largest edition
of any paper on the north Pacific
coast, and publishing more dispatchers
than any outside of San Francisco,
with thoughtful editorials on all sub
jects as its journalistic basis, unmind
ful of the critioisms of its less fortu
nate' neighbors. We have read some
where, about a gnat on the horn of an
Steam should be kept on the fire
department engine at .all times, as this
a 1 wise and necessary ' protection
against fire, and we hope .the meeting
to he - held on August - 24th
will ; so decide.1,. 'If it is a matter of
economy that impels this course, sev
eral hundred - dollars could have been
saved to tho 'city . treasury by the
water commission accepting the low
est bid for superintending tbe water
works instead of the highest; There
was over $500 in favor of the former.
Wages may be governed, by supply
and demand; but protection increases
the demand without' augmenting the
supply.-. This is the, manner in which
the -American economic 'policy ben'
fit labor. .;..' iv. r WJt.a
DRMAG0GTS3T.
Duriug presidential years polit
ical papers degrade themselves to
tbe lowest possible level of demagog
irim for the purpose of procuring votes,
and we. regret to see respectable jour
nals, fair in the discussion of ojher
questions, make use of the most des
picable sophistry to accomplish party
purposes. We were- forcibly reminded
of this fact in reading an editorial in
the Telegram of yesterday, in which it
lays all the . blauief the conflict he:
tween labor and capital, in this coun
try to tho Republican party. This is
unfair and unjust, and cannot be
proved by a single . historical fact for
tbe past thirty years; but it arouses
the animosity of the discontented
classes, who, without they take time
and thought to carefully consider tbe
matter, will array themselves on the
side of Democracy.; We quote a
paragraph from the article:
The Republican party cf to-day, judged
by the almost uuanimous expression of the
Republican press, no longer denies it? alli
ance with capital as against labor, and its
contempt for the equal rights of the work
ingmen in their coutests with capital. It
atiU repeats, with the iteration and the
strength ot argument tt a parrot, the arsei
tion that it is a friend' to American labor;
but when the test comes, when any contest
or conflict arises, it, with one voice, agrees
that tbe capitalists and employers are tho
innocent and injured parties, and. that the
laborers are wholly in the wrong; that they
have nothing to complain of; that they are
paid enough or too much wages; that tbey
are anarchists and desperadoes.
Not one Republican organ oat of a hun
dred, great or small, is willing to-day to
grant the laboring men the same right en- j
joyed by capitalists that of organizing to
protect their own interest and exhibiting
their organized strength when it is neces- j
aary to defend themselves from oppression
and tyranny. ..
Further on it belches forth in the
following strain:
The mask has -fallen, and tbe affair at
Homestead has. dome mnch to tear it -off.
Deception has eeaaed to be longer possible.
Tbe contempt of the Republican press for
the masses, for their common rights and
the beat and natural interests, is scarcely
disguised. '
"We baye failed to note one word of sym
pathy or encouragement from Republican
aoutoes foe strikers anywnere, wnatever
their gnevsnoes; or for workingoien any
where, whatever their conditions. On the
other hand,' they are equally onaomious
that capital mast be protected in its rights
that is, it everything it does or claims
and that it must be provided oa demand
with national or state troops, an d be per
mitted to direct their operations. Capital,
in tbe hands of such oppressors and buman
hogs as Fncfe, mast be the sole care of the
government, while workmen must under all
circumstances be silent and passive.
When tho Republican party came
into power in 1860, it found tbe coun
try embroiled in civil war, with armed
rebels in the south and Democratic
copperhead sympathizers with treason
in the north. - After ' four years of
conflict, it gave to ' the people an
united country, and, since 1865, has
reduced the public debt so that the
government bonds are eagerly sought
n foreign markets. It has elevated
American labor above that of Europe,
by affording employers the opportunity
of paying higher wages; it has made the
greenbacks, by judioials legislation,
worth 100 cents on the dollar; it has
passed the homestead and other bene
ficial laws, whereby every citizen could
make a home for himself and family;
it has sent millions of dollars in cir
culation among the' laboring poor, by
liberal appropriations in the River
and Harbor bill, at the samo time
opening up -our rivers and Harbors to
the producers and farmers; and in
every instance it has attempted to en
courage the production of raw ma
terials by duties upon imports. - What
can be said of the Democratic party
during this period, and. what bene
ficial legislation has it ever attempted
during the long years -it held control
of the lower house of congress? It
has pursued a : negative 'policy on al
most every question, and in the ses
sion just closed passed a bill protect
ing the - manufactured article ' and
placing wool on the free list . .
Tbe report of chairman Oates, of
the congressional committee, is a suf
ficient answer to ' the rantings of the
Telegram about "oppressors and hu
man hogs"' in relation to the Home
stead affair. This committee was ap
pointed by a Democratic congress,
and, we suppose, for the purpose of
manufacturing capital tor November.
He found a well-to do class of work
ing people, living,' in the main, in their
own homes, who had been, until the
strike, receiving from $1.40 to $12 a
day, and that the conduct of the coin
paoy towards its employes, was found
to have been uniformly kind and con
siderate. The hiring of the Pinker
tons, though not contrary to. the laws
of Pennsylvania, he condemn-, and
there is hardly a Republican paper
that has not done the same; but after
these Pinkertons surrendered, the
brutal treatment received by them
from women and boys he severely cen
sures. This is from . a Democratic
source, and should . forever stop this
balderdash about Republican sympa
thy with capital and oppression.
It may be very instructive to study
astronomy oh the summit of Mt. Ham
ilton, and ascertain to a mathematical
certainty that the planet Mars has ap
proached so close to the earth that the
little space between the two was only
35,000,000 miles; but then tdthe
average son of toil it is much more
consoling to know,' when the ther
mometer registers 94 degrees jn the
shade, that the everlasting snow-anoN
ice-clad Mt, Hood is only 40 miles
distant, - - - '-
' The. new parliament, lately elected
by the British people, is encountering
difficulties at the outset. A vote of
"no confidence" io the Salisbury gov
ernment was carried -' by a good ma
jority,, and it may be expected that he
will resign and submit to' the choice
of the electors, . Of course the Con,
aervatives will die hard, for they know
that tbe growth of public sentiment in
the empire is against them, and they
know tlify will have less prospects cf
Euccess in the next election than they
did in the'last Tb-- world moves, and
the divine right of kings and royal
prerogatives are relics of. a past age.
It is very evident' that tbe Conserva
tives and the crown, which are indis
solubly uniteJ, realiz this fact, an
are attempting to retain power as Ion
as possible. If one falls the other rets
on a very unstable foundation, and
with the induction of the Liberals th
queen is not at all certain of the sup
ports to the throne being solid. Hu
is shown in the fact that Mr. Glad
stone has received a message from her
majesty, requesting an audience, and
this conference may result in a col
Union between him and the head of
the nation. If such an emergency
should arise sufficient confidence may
be placed in his firmness to maintain
his position in the foremost rank of
reformers in governmental affairs, and
if he is supported by the British peo
pie, it ill be a step forward in favo
of home rule for Ireland and a confcd
erated rniDire. Old Britain, which
has- existed as a . monarchy for
thousand years, may yet be shaken by
a political eyrthquake, which may not
be as stnsuinary in its effects, but as
thorough in its radical than is, ts th
French revolution.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
President Harrison signed tbe Rive
and Harbor bill July 13th, and the
charges made by Democratic papers
that he lacked the manhood to affix
his signature to this important meas
ure, like chickens, have come home to
roost.
A Democratic exchange says ,.tat
"McKinleyism" has "furnished the
tariff barons with the sinews of war to
fight organized labor." Has Demo
cratic free-trade furnished the "sinews
of war" for organized labor to fight the
"tariff barons?''
There isi the usual Central-Ameri
can revolution in Honduras. Those
Spanish-Americans don't seem to be
happy without they can periodically
cbaugf; the form of government, and
kill a few thousand of their fellow-
men for nastime.
At the convening of parliament the
queen's speech was the briefest known
in the . history of the nation. She
simply advised the members to take a
rest during the heated term, which
wail very kind and considerate in the
estimable old lady. . ...
Every candidate of the Republican
party for president since lop4 was
identified with the union army except
Mr. Blaine. Democrats have only
chosen one standard-bearer since that
date who was connected with the
union army. . If this be the bloody
Bhirt, make the most of it.

The ticket nominated at Olympia
yesterday by the Republicans is un
doubtedly a very strong ona, and will
be successful in November. John L.
Wilson and W. H." Doolittle, congres
sional candidates, . are well known
throughout the state, the former hav
ing served during the last session,
Washington desires development, and
will undoubtedly give a majority of
her votes in favor of the party of pro
tection. . .
'. During the campaign that changed
the political complexion of the lower
house of congress, Democratic oratora,
from every rostrum in the country,
promised good times if they succeeded.
They were successful, and during the
past session has had a majority of 138;
but what have they done.or attempted
to do, to'alleviate the pressure of hard
times on the laboring poor ' They de
feated the free-silver bill and passed a
measure protecting' the - manufacturer
and placing wool on the free list So
much for Democratic consistency and
honesty. ' - '
. Bra Mays, of the Pomeroy Inde
pendent, has an eye to business, and
has a high appreciation of the value of
hip paper as an exponent of tbe prin
pies of the People's parly in hi& county.
It may appear exorbitant to the unin
itiated; but an editor should have the
same privilege of pxtimating bis "fee"
that tbe lawyer has. - We quote the
following paragraph: . ." Tbe work
the . People's party paper in this
county is - doing for its party should
command $2,500 for the campaign.
The candidates should put up at least
that much to keep the paper going at
its present gait. All candidates must
learn that an editor is under no obli
gations to use his columns in their be
half any more than be is the cashU
takes to fill them." v
The Union Republican thus point
edly and truthfully speaks of the party
to which it is allied: "The Republi
can party is tbe party of buman pro
gress. It boasts ot no traditions. It
has no followers, for': all are leaders.
It has given the world the best gov
ernment ; ever administered among
men. It has exalted labor, dignified
the home apd mde the waste places
to produce plenty. n t.be track of its
marches are seen a million factories,
surrounded by happy and prosperous
agricultural communities. It. is tbe
party of honest money and fair equiv
alents. It permits its citizens to be
free and contends for equal advantages
before the taw for all men. It de
clares to the children of 'the rich and
the children of the poor that the child
of any American 'citizen pan achieve
anything possible in this great coun
try." ". -.

Summery of the Salman Season.
Astoria, Aug. 9. Elmore, tjanborn &
Co., who have compiled returns of the
salmon pack at the Columbia river can
neries in Astoria and along the river, on
both the Orison iiud Washington shores,
reportii us foiiow: '-The season which
closes to-iiay lias been remarkable for the
scarcirv in "the Columbia of chinook sal
moti, the k.ud on which the celebrity of
this river is based. We find, from careful
eslimatrs, which will Include fish caught
up to date, that tbe 22 canneries on the
Columbia river have 443,600 cases of all
grades. Tbe proportion of royal chinook
is 249,000 case, tbe remaining 200,000
cases bciog composed of steel heads and
blueblackg, which are good fwh, but are
ot inferior qqaiity as compared with the
royal chinook. A ccmpared witb- last
years' pack, there is a decrease this season
of 100.000 cases ot rojal chinook. Tbe
total pack, however, exceeds that of last
year by 48,000 casts. This increase is
largely dne tu tbe larger production in
the canneries at tbe Cascades and The
Dalies, where three-fourths of the pick
were steelheuds and bluubacks. The
season has been 6torny. There bas been
a -- fresbet in the liver all tbe summer,
owing to tbe tardy melting of snow in
tbe mountain ranges. The canneries
have sold all their best salmon at an
advance on last year's prices. Two fbips
arc . now loading here with salmon for
London and one ship ia loadiug for New
York. Advice from Alaska indicate
that the puck wi'l be limited to one-bait
that of last year, as was agreed npon in
British Co!nmtia. The pack on the
Fraser river is a comparative failure, and
tbe total product of that country will not
exceed oce half of last year's pack."

Homestead, Aug. 9 The locked-out
men at Homestead are exceedingly jubi
lant over the continued desertion of the
new men from tbe Carnegie mill. Vice
Chairman Crawford, ot tbe advisory
board, said this mornlog: "There is no
longer any doubt that we have tbe strike
almost won. From iufoimatioo received
from the intide it is said tbe firm 19
greatly handicapped by desertions, and
it is believed fall nine tenths of the men
now at work inside tbe mill will come
out witbin the next week. They arj
rapidly tiring ot their prison life and
restricted liberty. Contributions to tbe
relief fund continuo to come in a satis
factory manner. Oar soliciting commit
tee has been very successful.
Tbe announcement that HughO'Dou

also kijdled fresh hopes, and the men are
firm in tbe determination to win this
contest. Manager- Potter denies tbe
wholesale desertion from the works
claimed by the advisory committee, but
tbe latter bas tbe names and addresses of
many of tbe deserter, together witb affi
davits to substantiate tbe claims in this
particular. Tbe Fifth regiment left for

place at Navajo Springs, on the Atlantic &
Pacific railroad, yesterday. ' The sheriff of
Apache county, A. Ti, was caUed-to arrest the
Unruly savage, when the latter pulled his
pistol and threatened to kill the sheriff. The
officer then summoned two cowboys to his aid,
and when one of the cowboys told the Indian
to surrender he was ordered to fall bac' or
be shot. The cowbuy, however, pulled his
gun and fired poinlblauk at he Indian, the
ball passing through his heart. Several other
Indians witnessed the killing, and carried the

mons to-day the first matter taken up was the
case of Egan, the invincible sentenced for
imprisonment under the crime's act. The
home secretary said he conld not hold out
hopes for Egan's release soon.
Lowther, parliamentary secretary of for
eign office, announced the British' East Africa
Company - bad instructed its officers to leave
Ugunda by August 31.
Gladstone now began his speech against
the government. He said the government
had departed from all precedents in not re
signing when the verdict of the country was
against them The house had now met, but
what for? The qieen's speech. told them
nothing. Was the house of commons to fight
the battles of the last six yeais over again.
Never had a great issue been submitted lo the
country been so lully discussed as the ifsue
decided at the last general election. Turning
to the matter of home rule, amid loud cheers
from the Irish members, Gladstone said the
claims of Ireland had been for years the fore
front of the battle, and that the position
he held, and the principle of his home rule
bill were pretty well known. By the provis
ions there would be a full and effectual main
tenance of imperial snpremacy, while Ireland
would be given conduct ot htr own affairs.
He entertained no doubt about the duty of the
liberal government in the event of rejection
of the home rule bill. Its rejection would
not terminate their duty cheers.. Balfour
followed Gladstone in a speech.

' A Vamtt of Outlaws) 1 Chnreb.
" PITTSBURG, Aug. 9. News has been re
ceived that the Cooley gang of outlaws Sun
day night boldly attended church in Smith
field village. Fayette county. They rode up
to the Methodist church door, hitched their
horses, and entered the sanctuary as calmly
as the oldest members. They wore their belts
with revolvers displayed but carried no guns.
As they sat on each side cf the door they were
recognized by dozens of the members who
knew them well by sight, bat the terrified
congregation were too limerous to go out past
tne Dandits and give lne alarm. Wo more
outwardly devout than the outlaws on the
back seat could be found among the members
and wben tbe contrabution-box was circulated
they all chipped in. While the congregation
sang Uoxology, the outlaws slipped out,
mounted and rode off, yelling like Indians.
JNo attempt was made to arrest them.. Con
stable Wilson, of this place, is organizing a
posse here to go to the vicinity of Dietrich'!
and entrap the outlaws.

was created here to-day by the announcement
that Hon. James C. Normile, judge of the
ciiminal court, had committed suicide. In
vestigation confirmed the report of the judge
having taken his life by poisoning. He was
48 years ol age. Some time ago the Post'

in these proceedings yesterday, and Judge
Normile ' was subjected., to a severe examina
tion. It is believed the examination preyed
heavily upon his mind, and led to his taking
his life. He left a note in bis room stating

prevented him from sleeping an-i unfitted him
for his duties. The note stated further that
he intended this morning to go to the PeM
DUpatch office and kill Florence White, the
managing-editor, but on reflection he conclu
ded to take no human hie but his own.
