SATURDAY APBIL 8, 1893
BAYARD AND BLAINE.
The Albany Democrat has always
' bjen a consistent organ of party priu
ciplea, and it never misses an oppor
, t unity to speak, in defense of the na
tional policy of the organization. .' Mr,
Blaine' sleeps. in an honored' grave;
bat the Democrat cannot, even at this
late day, cease saying something that
, : will lessen , the respect entertained for
his statesmanship by nearly all of his
fellow citizens, and to do this it critl
- cises tbe position taken by the Times-
Mountaineee in placing him in
- higher rank than Hon. T. F. Bayard.
. In its issue of last Tuesday it says
Mr. Bayard did not inaugurate a strong
national policy and when Mr. Harrison, in
1889, took the executive chair be found
. many international complications, which
Mr. Blaina amicably adjusted. The most
. difficult of these was the Bebring sea con
. troversy, which Mr. Bayard left in a very
unsettled shape. if the same policy nan
. been pursued it would very likely have rt
suited in a foreign war; but happily it was
.not, and war wu ortotf by the statesman
ship exercised by the. aecretary of state
chosen by Mr. Harrison. Mountaineer.
It was the boast of Republicans that when
Mr. Blaine was made secretary of state he
. would at once adopt a vigorous foreign
policy. But all were disappointed, except.
may be, the editor of the Mountaixbeb
- who seemed to believe that Republican
prophecy had been verified, and he arrived
at thia conclusion because he depended upon
the fancies of a lively imagination rather
than upon notorious facta.. ' Nothing con
tributed so mncb to the defeat of Blame at
. Minneapolis as his failure as secretary of
state. Only the other day the Oregonian
said that Bayard managed the Bebring sea
question with much better sense than did
Blaine. The Mountainssb should bear in
mind that that question is not settled yet.
bnt ran through the entire four years of
Harrison's administration with .precious
little progress being made. No foreign
question of any importance was settled by
. Blaine or Harrison. J
If our co temporary desired to be fair
in this matter he would acknowledge
that the manner in which the state
department managed the Mafia affair
in New Orleans, the Chilian imbroglio,
- and brought to a plan of amicable
settlement the long controversy over
' the seal fisheries in Behring sea clearly
established the reputation of Mr.
, Blaine as a statesman and a patriotic
American. The unsatisfactory man
ner in which the Cleveland adminis
tration of 1884-88 -left the dispute
with' Great Britain regarding the
Behring sea question, placed the coun
try on the verge of a foreign war, in
which this country would have been at a
great disadvantage by reason of not
haying, at that time, a navy compe
. tent to contest supremacy with that na-
, tion, which has for many years been justly
considered the mistress of the ocean.
. By diplomacy, never excelled in this
coin try, and only equalled in modern
history by the ingenuity exercised by
Pitt in the Napoleonic wars, Hon.
James 6. Blaine unravelled the tan-
' gled international threads, and that
which seemed possible only to be Bet
- tied by the arbitrament of armed
forces, was brought to the peaceful so
lution of arbitration.' In the Mafia
affair, the United States was forced to
deal with a country whose navy is
only second to that of Great Britain,
and whose diplomats had but a meagre
understanding of the complex rela
tions of our state and general govern
ments. ' The Italians were killed by a
lawless mob, and for a less- offense
. than this nations have been involved
in bloody and devastating wars; yet
the matter was settled without any in
- terruption of the peaceful ' relations
existing. When the two sailors of the
Baltimore were shot in the streets of
Yalpairaiso, the act was not, coolly
considered, an insult to our flag, but
simply a row between the seamen of
' two countries, in which fatal results
frequently follow. The secretary of
state so adroitly managed this affair
that an apology was received from
Chili and indemnity given to the fam
ilies of the American sailors. Read
ing history, with eyes not blinded by
partisan prejudice, any honest student
cannot but give Mr. Blaine a position
among the leading statesmen of this
&ge.J During Mr, Bayard's incum
bency in the state department nothing
of a strong national character was in
augurated, and it is fortunate indeed
the Mafia nd Baltimore affairs did not
happen during that period. For many
years we have entertained the highest
respect for the Oregonian, both as a
great newspaper in being supplied
with the facilities of a complete
journal, and also in the able and ex
haustive manner in which its editorials
have marked out the path for the
public mind to follow; but we have also
noticed an inclination in it to bury the
good deeds of a man in the grave with
his mortal remains, and as' far as pos
Bible to make his evil ones live on for
ever. In other words, it seems im
pelled to kick the dead lion whom it
would not face or fiht while living.
If our memory is not at fault, the
Oregonian was one of the many papers
that applauded the manner in which
. Mr. Blaine managed international com
plications. The administration of the
state department under Mr. Bayard
and Mr. Blaine is now a matter of
history, and Republicans are satisfied
that the verdict of the student in the
future will take no laurels from the
brow of him who now sleeps in an
honored grave in the state of Maine.
The great temple at Salt Lake will
be formally dedicated from April 6 to
18th, and during these days the struct
ure will be opened to visitors. " Yes
terday the semi-annual conference' of
the Mormon church was held in the
edifice, and addresses, were delivered
by the leading lights of the church of
Latter Day Saints. In the completion
of this work of architecture has cen
tered the hopes and aspirations of that
church for many years, and very , many
believed that when' it was' finished
sublunary , affairs would come to an
abrupt ending by the sound of Ga
briel's trumpet; bat it is very proba-1
ble that in this conjecture they were
mistaken. An a monument of the
steadfast faith of the adherents of the
disciples of, Joseph Smith to the doc
trines of the Book of Mormon, this
temple furnishes indisputable evidence.
For years- the work has gone steadily
onward, until in a region where Brig
ham Young and bis followers found
nothing but desert lands, has been
erected the most finished piece of
modern architecture on the American
continent. Every stone placed in the
structure was an evidence of the sin
cerity of the belief of the Mormons in
their religious creed, and, while many
condemn that part of the faith which
admits of polygamy, yet all will ad
mire the thrift and industry displayed
by these people in their home in the
desert. American enterprise has pen
etrated into Utah, and the country or
the people are not what they were
when isolated from the balance of the
civilized world. The Salt Lake of
Mrs. Stenhouse is not the same city
that it is to-day, and the enforcement
of the Edmunds law has almost driven
the crime cf polygamy from its borderr.
THE CAUCUS.
lion. J. 11. Mitchell made the ar
gument before the United States sen
ate in favor of the adoption of the
minority report of the committee
which was against admitting the sen
ators, appointed by the governor?, to
seats. . He may have been conscien
tious in the stand he has taken on this
question, and if so the consciousness
of doing what he believes to be right
may be all the reward he will receive.
One of the reasons stated by him was,
if these senators were admitted, it
would impair party discipline and
give license to the minority to ob
struct 'elections. This may sound
all right to those who believe in ma'
chine polities; but in all represent
tive bodies, it must be recollected, by
combinations between populous dis
tricts, the rights of the minority may
be completely ignored, and the demo
cratic element in government en
tirely obliterated. A stubborn mi
nority, it is true, may block legislation
indefinitely; but the rights of the few
representatives from the sparsely set-:
tied portions of the state should not
be under the heel of the many from
the large cities in the legislature,
The same is true of members of the
lower house of congress from the dif
ferent states, and Mr. Mitchell's line
of reasoning would undoubtedly result
in this state of afiaiis. The power of
the caucus in county conventions,
state legislatures and in congress
should not be absolute, and, while con
sideration should be paid to its decis
ions in all matters touching legislation
and elections, yet, when by so doing
the sovereignty of the people is jeo
pardized, it supremacy should cease.
It has frequently happened in all rep
resentative bodies, that the wishes of
the public have been trampled under
feet, and combinations and cliques
have ruled in a despotic manner. The
democracy in our institutions cannot
be too carefully guarded, and one of
the greatest dangers it encounters is in
the sovereign sway of the caucus.
To-morrow is the day set apart by
the Christian church in comniemora
tion of the resurrection of Jesus Christ
from the' dead, and as such is a mem
orable event in the history of the
religious world. '. The teachings of
Christ marks a reformatory epoch in
the world, and from that date modern
religion dates its birth. Bites and
ceremonies no longer bad any great
significance, and the motive which
impelled the action was given greater
weight than the act itself. The moral
code of the Savior consisted iu purify
ing the heart of evil desires, and in
making man a volitive being rather
than a machine He emphasized this
in all nis teachings, and sealed his
honesty by his death ' on the cross.
His resurrection from the dead fur
nishes to the Christian indisputable
evidence that there is life beyond the
grave, and "at Easter time this hope is
symbolized in the budding flower and
opening leaf. Ihe teachings of tne
Savior would have lacked complete
ness without he followed them to the
tomb, and the future would be dark
and dismal without faith iu a resurrec
tion morning.
. The heroism of George E. Richard
son in going, under the most adverse
circumstances, to give warning to the
Southern Pacific train of the danger
which threatened the lives of the pas
sengers, is in marked contrast to the
maliciousness of the men who at
tempted to cause the accident for
either gain or revenge.' There are
good and bad elements in human na
ture, and it gives one confidence in
mankind generally that sometimes a
noble action is set against one that is
most diabolical. Punishment could
not be too severe for the villains who
attempted to wreck the train, and too
much praise cannot be bestowed on
him who by endurance and courage,
whL'h reach sublimity averted the
catastrophe. But the cowardly
scoundrels and the hero are all mem
bers of the human family, and the act
of the former will show how low one
can sink in devilishness, and the hero
ism of the other what bights can be
reached by persons in the humblest
capacity.
The story that the correspondent of
a paper started about Ex-Secretary
Foster and Paymaster Halford giving
themselves very liberal allowances for
work performed, appears to have been
a child of the imagination, and it is
difficult to traoe it to any , responsible
source. Perhaps some zealous Demo
crat thought he would do a good act
for his party by besmirching the repu.
tation of those in close contact with
the Harrison administration. Who
ever he is, his Maunchansen creations
has ' recoiled upon himself, and has
done nobody any harm! .', ,
COMMON SENSE VS LOVE.
Nearly every day the dispatches
contain intelligence of some individual
committing suicide because the woman
on whom he has placed his affections
refuses to join her fortunes with his
in the bonds of matrimony. One day
it is a student in Chicago, then a
worthless fellow at Oakland, and
again a barber at Yancouver. The
worst feature in these tragedies is
that, in many instances, the innocent
victim is killed before the man blows
out his own brains. It may be termed
erotomania, which perhaps c is a
good definition of this species of
insanity; but judging these acts by
the ordinary rules of common
sense, ' one would come to tne con
elusion that the mental faculties were
not' fully developed-, or, in other words,
that the persons are more nearly akin
to idiots than lunatics. Of course,
girls cannot be blamed for being the
center of attraction of an over zealous
lover.aod it is to be -deplored that they
suffer the consequences. If those
troubled by erotomania would confine
their acts to themselves the community
would not be very great losers; but,
when any prepossessing young lady is
liable to become the target for a pistol
bullet, because she exercises good sense
in selecting a husband, the freak is
too dangerous to be treated with
frivolity. The acts of these maniacs
furnish conclusive evidence that they
would not make desirable husbands for
sensible girls, and, if like produces
likej would not be proper progenitors
of the coming race. Sentimental love
has existed in all ages, and, while
youthful ideas aredeveloped by the
trashy literature that finds 'its place in
nearly all libraries, it will maintain its
supremacy over sound ' judgment
"Love at first sight,' ana "love in a
cottage" are deeply impressed in the
minds of boys and girls, and they go
through life attempting to imitate
some brainless hero or frivolous hero
ine. There should be sound sense
exercised in the choice of a husband or
wife, and the silly notions which now
prevail should be driven from the
youthful mind,. Some women are not
oroDer affinities for some men. In
entering the marriage relation eonsid
eration should be given to the har
monious blending of the parties in the
life contract, and also to the intelligent
prorogation of offspring, which sancti
fies the union in the sigh of God and
society.
In the April number of the Century
is an article on "J be unicago An
archists of 1886," by Hon. Joseph E.
Gary, tne judge who presided at the
trial. It is not written so much as a
history of the proceedings as to give
the legal aspect of the conviction of
the anarchists, and to prove that the
verdict of the jury was in accordance
with well established precedents in our
y8tem of jurisprudence. Illinois, as
is well known, is a common law state,
and the statute, under which these
msn were convicted of conspiracy and
murder, has been sustained by the
supreme court. The object of Judge
Gary's paper is not to apologize for the
actions of the court and jury, or to
prove that it was conformable to public
sentiment then prevailing; but to show
that the verdict was in accordance with
the law of the land. He proves from
well established authorities that he
who counsels conspiracy, if such act re.
suits in murder, is guilty of the crime
It was never supposed ' that Parsons,
Sshwabb, or others who suffered the
extreme penalty of violated law, threw
the fatal bomb, or even advised' the
particular deed; but articles published
in the Alarm and Arbeiter advocated
such proceedings, and, therefore, when
Degan was killed instantly and other
policemen fatally injured at Hay
market, the editors were guilty, of
murder. This is established law, and
no jury or. court in tne United
States will hesitate in enforcing it.
Anarchy is doomed in - this country,
and riotous meetings cannot be held,
at which arson, assassination and
destruction of property are upbeld,and
the speakers themselves claim , the
privilege of freedom of speech if mis
chief is the result. Free institutions
must protect themselves, and if anar
chists are permitted with impunity to
preach their doctrines freedom becomes
the wildest license. All governments
necessarily imply restraint, and the
members of every community com
promise some of their inherent rights
for the benefit of their fellows. " An
archy is opposed to obedience to any
power and all manner of restraint,and
therefore is as dangerous in a republic
as in a monarchy.
EDITORIAL NOTES.

We will treat yon well.
Michigan went Jtepublican yester

didate for president.
The Telegran has an editorial against
the censorship of the press in Turkey
ana uussia. A. copy ot tne paper
should be sent to the Uzar and Sultan.
and they would perhaps inaugurate a
reform in this matter.
Sir Charles Bussell, the counsel for
Great Britain in the arbitration of the
Behring sea controversy now being
held in rang, paid a glowing tribute
to Hon. James O. Blaine in hia open
ing argument . Ihe reputation of a
statesman is not confined to his own
country.
The election yesterday of Oartar B.
Harrison mayor of Chicago by a large
majority is not evidence that the Re
publican party is- losing its hold upon
the politics of Illinois, and only em
phasizes the fact that the worst ele
ments are still supreme in the metrop
olis of the state. Mr. Harrison's op-
position came from a large class of
citizens who were not affiliated with
Republicans, and who believed that
his defeat wonld insure a purer muni
cipal government. In this they were
not mistaken, but simply out-voted at
the polls.
Bishop Kip, of the Episcopal church,
died in San Francisco last night. He
was born in 1811,' and has been iden
tified with Episcopacy on the coast
since 1853. As a writer and Christian
gentleman his loss is irreparable, and
his death will be regretted all over the
country.
The apotheosis of Richardson, the
"hero of Ricer hill," was very brief.
Hero worship may be a mania with
the American people; but when they
find their idols composed of spurious
materials the work of the iconoclasts
bpfin. and thev are shattered into
shapeless rums.
The important question before the
U. S. senate is that of seating tbe gov
ernors appointees, and this will fur
nish a precedent for future action. If
senators were elected by the popular
vote, this problem would not require
anv solution by congress, and it is
hoped that this plan will be eventually
adopted.
In a few days the faces of many
will be turned towards Chicago, and
the world's fair will receive visitors
from all portions of the globe. This
exposition will bring money from
Europe, and should scatter it to dif
ferent portions of tbe United States.
Of course, the queen city of the lakes
will receive the princely share.
Richardson, the man who has been
arrested for prying up the rail and
then attempting to make a hero of
himself by warning an approaching
train, escaped from the Astoria jail
about two months ago where he was
held to the grand jury for trying to
burn the Liverpool house. Such
heroes are made of spurious material
If the investigation into Senator
Roach's defalcation does not unseat
him it will be considered a good omen
by those Americans over tbe border,
who went there because of discrepan
cies in money matters. They will
have a friend in tbe higher branch of
congress, and should be entitled to
some consideration for all their suffer
ings during their exile.
The returns from Kansas show a
sweeping Republican victory, and the
short reign of the Populists may be
considered at an end. That party at
tempted to carry matters with a high
band during tbe past winter: but the
people have tired of arbitrary rule,
and have now returned to their first
love. Kansas has too eventful a his
tory to Buffer misrule for any length of
time.
The argument in the Bebring sea
controversy was opened yesterday in
Paris, and, with the able counsel pre
senting the American side of the ques
tion, the country miy rest satisfied
that its interests will be carefully
watched.' Once settled, this subject
will create no future trouble, and will
be placed beside that of the Oregon
boundary dispute never to be re
opened by either the United States or
Great Britain.
The decisions of the courts in refer
ence to the Ann Arbor strike make it
plain that no organization, during a
boycott, can discriminate againBt
handling the freight of any particular
railroad company while freights on
other lines are permitted to be sent to
their destination. This ruling is
according to the terms of tbe Inter
state Commerce act, and will make
boycotting much less effective. The
commerce of this country demands
so tne protection, and. while employes
cannot be forced to work fcr any com
pany, the limits to which they may in
jure its business are somewhat pres
cribed.

TELEGEAPHIC.
One Boat oad Waved.
San Francisco, April 4 A boat con
taining the first mate, 13 men and two ap
prentices of the four-masted steel ship King
Jama, coal laden, from New-castle, England,
for San Francisco, has landed at Point Con
ception, on the southern California coast.
The coal took fire on March 19. On the 30th
an explosion occurred which tore up the deca
in all directions, and the ship was soon ablaze.
At midnight, seeing the. fire was still increas
ing, the crew abandoned their efforts to con
trcl the names and took to tbe boats after se
curing the best of ther effects. Captain W.
Drummond, his son and 15 men occupied one
boat, while the first mate and the others look
the second boat. April I a gale came up,
and after it had spent itself the captain's boat
was not in sight. The first mate, William
Mdldoon, says that Captain Drummond was
very cautious, and be would not carry sail to
any great extent, and may be heard from at
any hour. After leaving the vessel they put
themselves in tow of her till 3 AM. March
31, when it was decided to abandon the ship
and make for Point Conception, which was
but 200 miles. However, northwest winds
seemed to be the best course to follow, and
they headed southeast, and on the night of
April 2 about 7 o'clock the mate came in
sight of the Point Conception light. They
let go anchor when within three or four miles
ol the point, and decided to wait until day
light before attempting to make a landing.
About 3 in the morning a three-masted
steamer passed going north. The first mate
ordered a blue light sent up, the last one they
had left, but the steamer paid no attention 10
their signal, although they had to change
their course in order to avoid running the
boat down. About 5 A, M., while two miles
from shore, the steamer Bonita passed going
north. AU 01 the sixteen men stood up in
the boat, and waved their coats to try to at
tract their attention, but to no avail, so they
came on to the shore, south of Point Concep
tion lighthouse, and landed on the beach,
A Pocket or old.
Medford, Ore., April 4 Another rich
p Qcet-strike has added a new impetus to the
excitement already existing in Southern Ore.
Tbe latest discovery holds over all previous
finds. Riley Hammesley, who has been pros
pecting in Josephine county tor more than a
year, has just brought in the fruits of his la
bor. He has struck a pocket on Jump-Un-
Joe creek which contains a large amount of
quartz, wmcn win run $100,000 to ine ion.
It is a pocket in a two-foot ledge, the extent
of which has not yet been determined. From
60 pounds of the quartz he has pounded out
$425. Old prospectors here pronounce it
the richest rock they have -ever seen. Some
active prosi ecting will be done on Jump-Off-
Joe creek within the next tew weeks.
Cleveland and Merchant O'Donoghue.
New York, April 4 President Cleveland
has, it is stated, offered Joseph J. O'Donoghue

United States at the subtreasury of this city,
but O Donoghue declined it. Some very in
teresting correspondence on the subject is
said to have passed between the piesident
and the coffee merchant, O'Donoghue is
said to have taken offense at the offer and the
way in which it was made, and, according to
report, has written a letter to Cleveland, re
minding him in very plain words ot an al
leged pledge made last December regarding
the collectorsbip ol this port.
The Pope Counsels Serlptrns Study.
Rome, April 4 Pope Leo bas just com
pleted an examination of the question of the

opinions of savants on great biblical questions.
His holiness will proceed to indite a letter to
bishops, requesting them to enjoin upon their
nocks a more protonnd study of the Script
ures, and a larger place in the schools for the
study and critical explanation ot bermeneutics.
The pope urges the necessity of keeping in
the track of modem progress and discovery.
in order to adapt Catholicism to the needs of

SRATTX.E, Wash., April 5 Robert F.
Hicbman, a lad of 17. was found dead
in the woods io tbe extreme northwest
ern corner of the city today. In his
pocket was a letter hastily scrawled on a
sheet of brown paper, which indicated
that he had commuted suicide, although
there are no marks ot violence on .bis
person and nothing could be found to
show that be bad taken poison. He was
employed iu the Vulcan iron work-, and
left Tuesday to go to Tacoma to collect
tome moey. His sister, with whom be
made bis home, says be was not melan
choly, but tne letter snows be was ot a
morbid temperament. After saying be
intended ending bis life, be wrote:
"This is not tbe freak of an idle and
foolish mind, but the result of years of
Buffering, pain and misery; tbe conclu
ion of a life that had no pleasure in it,
tbe result of a wild, wiltul aud wayward
disposition, kept in close confinement by
tbe rules of honor and social laws. Bat
now I am free from tbe torturing thought
and contemptous looks that are cast on
me by those who know of my dissipated
and morbid career."
lie then goes on with an address to
his soul, which be declares will go to
meet the punishment it richly deserves
and says:
"You, my sou, can go on the course
the great chief has designated and meet
tbe tate it so richly deserves. I have al
ways been unfortunate and I alwaya was
in the wrong. I can never remember a
day that there wasn't some dark cloud
banging over me ready to burst and pour
forth a volume ot disgrace and abuse. I
have committed mnoy crimes against the
laws of God, man and natnre. I bave
turned away from tbem in disgust, only
to return again at the next temptation
and install myself in the opinion of my
friends and companions as a base, heart
less wretcb, capable neither of love nor
honesty. And, therclore, I was shunned
by all. But there was one who did not
desert me, and who understood me as
well as I did myself; to whom I could go
for advice and comfort ; to whom I bad
confessed all my misdeeds and shortcom
ings. But now be, too, bas passed over
tbe dark moat Into tbe future whence
cone comes again. I can only follow in
bis wake, as there is no hope, no prospect
of anything but misery, sin and disgrace
for me, 'so forward I go to meet the judg
ment that long ago has been confirmed
and earned."
He closes by begging all who bear of
bis lot to treat young men with kindness
He bad a comfortable borne and was bis
own master, -and his relatives say be had
no known cause for ending hi life.

Pabis, April 5 The court of arbitration
regarding tbe Bebring sea resumed 'its
session at 11:45 A. M. today. Hon. E.
J. Phelps, counsel on behalf of tbe
United States, continued his argument.

mentary report was inadmissable. Tbe

mony. Phelps discoursed at some length
on tbe technical meauing of the treaty of
arbitration and conditions aud methods
of procedure to be followed nnder tbe
treaty. Sir Charles Russel, in replying

whose ability was recognized in both
hemispheres. Tbe court adjourned at

tles and said: "Here will be the temple
of our God." Four year later. in"1851,

the temple "ot the beat materials that
can be obtained in North America." The
material for the foundation was tirestoce
trom a canyon four miles distant. - The
granite for the walls was cut from L tile

advent of a railway, in 1870, was hauled
by ox teams. February 6, 1853, ground
was broken, acd April 6 tbe corner stone
wss laid, 16 feet below tbe surlace. Io

about $5,000,000. The building is pro
vided with all the modern appliance foi
lighting, heating, ventilating and sanita
tion. It is looked upon as tbe one
described in the first two verses of the
fourth chapter of Micah.
