; a stinging rebuke.
There are few more eminent men in
the Democratic party than the vener
able George Ticknor Curtis, now a
man of 80 winters. In his day he was
a great lawyer, and his contributions
' ,to literature have been very consider-
"" able, "all "of " them" showing his legal
training and '. political conservatism,
- He has never before uttered a word in
favor of the Kepublican party, the In
ier Ocean asserts. But the extreme
free-tradei8m of the Chicago conven-
. tion, and its utter disregard of both
. law and facts, have aroused hia indig
nation. Among the more cotacle of
his books is the "History of the Orig
inal Formation, and Adoption of the
Constitution of the United States;"
and when a lot of politicians gut to
gether and declare a tariff for protec
tion unconstitutional, that is too much
for good nature. Here is the main
' passage of his article in the American
Economist, which exposes and de-
nounces the Democratic platform
. In common with many other Democrats,
I cannot follow the leaders of the party in
denouncing Republican protection as a fraud
upon the labor of the grtat majority of the
- nor can I subscribe to the doctrine that a
.. protection tariff is unconstitutional. I have
no pecuniary interest in manufactures, but
I know what protection has done and is
doing for this country. If it operates for
the benefit of the few, I am not one of that
few. ,1 am one of the many one of the
. great majority benefited by it, including
those who denounce it tor the sake of ob
tainine Dolitical Dower. If the leaders or a
political party assembled in national con
vention for the purpose of nominating a
candidate for the presidency and vice-presi-dency
choose to stultify themselves by falsi
f ying history, they cannot expect to be fol
lowed b otDers who have any habit of in
dependent thought and action.

the Republican party in 1856 it came
out boldly against human slavery, in
favor of internal improvements by the
national government, and in 1860 in
favor of the maintenance of the union
of states.and of protection to Ameri
can industries. On these questions.

REPUBLICANS Fi'.' DEMOCRATS.
The Democrats are attempting to
make the present presidential cam
paign one of subterfuges and chican
ery, and by these means to blind the
people to the true issues to be decided
at the ballot-box in November. But
this plan will not be successful, for be
fore our citizens exercise the elective
franchise they reason and act intelli
gently.
The Republican party has .been
closely identified with the history of
the country for the past thirty years,
and Republican statesmen have guided
the ship of state into safe ports during
the most tempestuous epochs of that
period. And on these occasions they
have been opposed by Democracy in
the reconstruction of . the Southern
States, the maintenance of the na-
tional credit by fulfilling the obliga-
These words fairly express the con- I tions of the government in paying the

' can be ignorant of the fact that the
benefits of the 'tariff extend to the
general public, instead of . being con
fined to those immediately concerned
in the industries fostered by protec
tion. Nor does any man of common
sense really believe protection to be
unconstitutional. There is herein no
room for two opinions. The constitu-

WILLFUL PERVERSION.
The Democratic papers are wild
with exultation because Judge Gresh
ani in open court where a case was
being tried before him requiring cer
tain railroad agents to answer ques
tions concerning freight discrimina
tion given certain shippers, and the
officers of the Illinois Steel Company
to produce their books and accounts
touching the same, at the time J udge
Trumbull cited the governmental pow
era for the collection of revenue
said: "The power of a government to
collect revenue to defray its expenses
is sovereign and absolute. It can take
any part of a man's property without
proces, but it ought to take no more
than enough to defray the expenses of
the government." ' This is taken as
pure Democratic doctrine, and is in
terpreted that the Judge is in favor of
free-trade. There is no meaning that
the language can possibly convey will
warrant such a conclusion, and it
shows the inherent weakness of the
Democracy on the tariff question when
ita advocates are driven to such a per
version to uphold their position. In
the first place, if the broadest view of
the question is taken, Judge Gresham
can be quoted as upholding the constl
tutionality of the government taking
any portion of a man's property with
out process, and the Chicago platform
declares it uncontsitutional to tax for-
eign imports, uut tne J uage neyer
intended to infer anything in relation
to the economic policy of the United
States, because that his reference to
taking or taxing the property of for
eigners, lhere is a duty on Austra
lian and South American wool; but
this is not the property of any citizen
of the United States until it leaves the
custom house, and the same is true of
all imported articles, with the excep
tional case of where the individual
buys abroad. The direct object of the
system of internal revenue is to psy
the expenses of government, and of
duties tr protect American industries
and American wage-earners.
If Judge Gresham had intended any
remark of his while sitting on the
bench to have political significance he
would be unworthy of the position he
occupies, and he would merit tne
condemnation of all fair-minded citi
zens, irrespective of party affiliations.
We believe him to be a conscientious
man, and if the opportunity presented
itself would emphatically disctasm such
interpretation being given to his words
as has been done by the Democratic
press of the country. But the Bour
bons are met in this campaign by the
figures of Peck and Peelle, by the
common-sense of George Ticknor Cur
tis and the apathy of Sickles- and
these men are life long; Democrats
and to offset this they must attempt to
drag in to the political mire an honest
judge, by warping to suit their notions
a remark he made which all citizens
will endorse while trying a case in
court.
If they do. they will be simply follow
ing the lead of Oregon's favorite Dem
ocratic son, Governor Pennoyer, and
voting for free silver a cardinal prin
ciple of the party.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The cholera scare has nearly sub

their columns with eulogies of British
free-trade.
Mrs. Harrison is improving, and
this estimable lady will preside over
social affairs in the White House for
another four years.

This name will sound well until after
the November election.
Tammany is playing Dr. Jekyll

them by saying that they are in favor
of the Force bill.

Aside from keeping the Irish under
imperial sway, Great Britain has the
difficult task of inaugurating free-trade
in the United States. In the latter
matter she has the aid of Cleveland
and the Democratic party.
The Democrats are very desirous
that the Republicans should leave the
tariff issue out of the campaign! But
the people are interested in protection,
and Mr. Peck, a Democrat of New
York, has given them figures showing
its benefits.
A. Uefenoe of tbe City.
Hamburg, Sept. 20 One hundred and
forty one new cases of cholera and 67
deaths are reported, being 38 cases and
15 deaths less than were reported Sun
day. In Altona 17 new cases and 8
deaths occurred yesterday. A prominent
official defends the authorities against the
charge of hiding the truth in regard to
the ravages of the disease. He declares
that the first time the case was proved to
be cholera was August 23, and that tbe
various consuls in tbe city were notified
of tbe fact August 23. Ctses occurred
earlier but they bad not been proved to
be of Asiatic type. It would have been
most Improper for the burgomaster to
declare tbe town infected before be was
Quito positive that such was the case.
In regard to the responsibility of taking
tbe cholera to America, the correspondent
says that the steamer Moravia sailed be
fore the fact of the outbreak had been
made known, and that tbe Normannia
sailed August 26. when the American
government was in full possession of the
facts. Every effort was made, by meant
of double medical inspection, to secure
the exclusion of cases from the steamers
before tbev sailed, and nothing more
could be done.
Seven people were killed outright, three
seriously loiured, and others alienily hurt,
The cause was tbe neglect of orders
upon tne part or the freight train crew,
Details of the 'lccident are mender. Lo
cal officials of tbe railway company can
only give out a general statement From
tbe latter source it was learned that tb
limited. No. 8, was speeding past Sbreve
with a supposed clear track, and that the
freight bad been ordered to lay on a sid
ing at Wooster to pass. For some cause
unknown tbe order was disregarded, and
tbe freight pulled out and was under full
headway when tbe flash of the headlight
was tbe nrst warning received by tbe en
gineers, who simultaneously reversed tbe
engines. This was too late, and tbe huge
engine plunged into each other almost
at full speed.
A Threshing Engine explodes.
Walla Walla, Sept. 20. This after
noon a threshing engine on the farm of
Martin Miner, 11 miles east of the city,
exploded, killing one man and wounding
four others, two seriously. I be neafl
man, C. Wickersham, was tbe engineer.
He was instantly killed, beinqr struck
with a piece of boiler on the bead.
Ambrose Rainey, the fireman, was badly
scalded on tbe front part of the body
and face, and bis left leg broken above
the knee. Tbe leg was amputated, and
it is thought he will die. William Eggere
was struck witb a piece of boiler. His
left arm . was fractured, tbe bone being
crushed and dnyen out through tbe flesh,
necessitating amputation. He will prob
ably recover. Ihe two other men were
only slightly injured. The wounded
men were brought to the hospital. There
were about 20 men working about tbe
engine when the explosion occurred.
Riiney, who was just stoking the furnace,
was thrown over 50 feet. The boiler was
a new one, out wicKersDam was not a
practical engineer, but a farmer. He

explosion set fire to tbe stubble, which
was extinguished with difficulty.
Taking Oreat Bisks.
Mabsrfield, Or., Sept. 21. Captain
O'Brien and bis watchman are still on
board the wrecked steamer Charles W
Wetmore, unable to come ashore. Last
night the swell was running very heavy.
and Captain Loch, ol tne lile-saving sta
tion, was out to tbe wreck and tried to
induce Captain O'Brien and bis com
panion to come off witb Dim, but O Brie
refused to leave tbe wreck, and this
morning tbe swell bad so increased that
it was impossible tor the lite-saving crew
to get near the ill fated steamer. Cap
tain Loch returned to Empire City and
got permission to go out with tbe crew
and gun and lite line, but they were un
able to go nearer than half a mile of tbe
wreck. 1 be eun was beavily loaded an
fired in tbe hope of reaching tbe wreck
with tbe line, but it fell short about 75
yards, and at the same time broke tbe
trunnions of the gun and threw it over
board. Captain Loch immediately dis
patched a team to Bandon station for
their gun, which will probably reach
beie some time during tbe nigbt. The
life-saving crew are watching tbe wreck
and awaiting for any opportunity to be
of any service. The surf is still running

Shot at the Deputy Sheriff.
The following is from the Goldendale Sen
tinel: Juliup Weisick, of Grant,- got on his
muscle last Friday and attempted to shoot
Deputy Sheriff .Lealie, of Sherman county .
Weisick had been dispensing whisky for
silver to the innocent people of the vicinity
of Grant. A deputy United States marshal
having purchased some of it and attempting
to drink some of the stnff became so indig
nant that he immediately swore out a war
rant against Weisick on the charge of sell
ing liquor without a government license.
He was taken to the city tombs, which was
improvised for the occasion ont of McCal
loch's hotel. The prisoner then drew a re
volver and attempted to shoot the sheriff,
bnt Leslie caught his arm and the bullet
passed through the ceiling. Weisick was
locked, in the room and another warrant was
issued against him for assault witb a deadly
weapon. While left to himself he escaped
from the room by removing the lock and
started for Washington. He was cangbt at
the river and taken to The Dalles to await
trial. -
: The Hop Market
The following is from Meeker's hop circu
lar for Sept. 15th: Tbe hop harvest of the
year 1892 is now nearly a thing of the past.
With bat few exceptions the crops are all
in warehouse and a good many in tbe bale.
We can now fairly estimate the crop at
about one-half of last year, or in round
numbers twenty thonsand bales. There has
been about eighty thonsand bales grown on
the Pacific slope. New York has produced
this year one hundred and fifteen thousand
bales substantially the same quantity as
last year, bnt of better quality. . England
is estimated to have produced two hundred
and twenty-five thousand "old duty," be
ing only a little more than last year. ' The
German crop is reported good. As vet
there is no market. Growers are expecting
high prices, some expeoting to receive at
east forty cents per pound ''before Christ
mas.

London, Sept 21. Town Councillor
Willis, of Kidderminster, to-day Btarted a
unique cholera scare, which is likely to
ruin an important branch of England's
trade with tbe East. At a meeting of tbe
council Mr. Willis spoke of the perils of
infection from articles imported from
cholera stricken districts. Tbe most dan
gerous of all such articles, he said, were
the Oriental carpets and ru?s bought to
adorn fashionable homes in Great Britain.
These carpets and rugs often contained
germs of the foulest diseases. Every
conceivable abomination was thus intro
duced among England's better classes.
If tbe government prohibited tbe impor
tation of rugs from tbe East it behooved
them to extend tbe same prohibition to i
tbe equally foul carpets. Everv importer
of oriental carpets was aware tbat tbe
opening of the bales was accompanied
by clouds of filthy and evil-smelling dust,
wbicb frequently caused tbe workingmen
violent purging and vomiting. "I would
rather unchain a tigress in my home"
was Mr. Willis' peroration, "than place
carpets and rugs from tbe east upon its
floors." Tbe mayor of .Kidderminster
said he could vouch for tbe truth of all
Mr. Willis bad said, and advocated warn
ing the people against buying eastern
carpets. . Importers in tbe eastern rug
and carpet trade deride these statements
and attribute them to trade jealousy.

aence: "I have so far done nearly all
my tests. Last nigbt I slept between
two . dying men. I . have drank Elbe
water, eaten among tbe sick, and negiec
ted ell precautions, 'and, further still,
have placed my bands in my mouth after
nursing patients, etc., and, so far, am
safe."
