Mf KIN LET IN BOSTON.
In declaring that the Republican
party needed neither eulogy nor apology
Governor McKinley stru-jk the keynote
of Republicanism, says the Inter Ocean.
What he said before the Home Mar
ket Club of Boston Wednesday even
ing iq sure to be" responsively accepted
by the Republicans of the country as
their sentiments, and that not because
the speaker is a prime favorite with
people, but because the party is in no
mood to lie do wn. It has no thought
of going out of business, nor of takmg
any back track.
Thus far the Democratic administra
tion has siaiDlv doled out offices.
There has been nothing else in hand,
The nearest approach to anything ad
ditional was the hauling down of the
American flag in Hawaii and the sus
pension of the Chinese registration law
pending litigation to test ita validity
These incidents were both open' to
criticism as lacking due authority.
Mr. Blount is not clothed with power
sufficient to warrant his flag order, and
the business of the executive is to exe
cute the law as found on the statute
books until such time, if ever, as the
supreme court may annul the act as
unconstitutional. These two features
of the two months' record made by
the new administration indicate loose
and unsound views of the limitations
of executive autority. But the real
teat of the party in power is yet to
come,' and it will mainly be at the
capitol end of Pennsylvania avenue.
: Congress is the great power in tbis
country. ; During Mr. Cleveland's first
term -the two wings did not flop
together, and there was nothing done
outside- of the rsotine. Now ' the
Democrats have everything their own
way, and cannot shirk the respensi-
. bility of power.
As 3ov. McKinley well put it, the
Republicans of the country "still be
lieve that protection is not a robbery
and is not unconstitutional; that the
act of 1800 is not the culminating
atrocity of class legislation; that re
ciprocity is not a sham,, and that the
state banking currency is not the best
with which to measure the exchanges
of the people." On these three points
. if the Democratic party is true to its
pledges, the issues will be sharply
drawn, nor will these be the only is
sues. Others are bound to arise, but
are not as clearly outlined in advance,
The coin question is sure to perplex
the party in power, and may prove the
most embarrassing question before the
next congress. The Republican party,
if in power, would probably repeal the
Sherman silver act, but take good care
not to disturb bimetallism. , The Dem
ocratic party is divided into two ex
tremes on this subject, and it - is im
possible to guess how they will finally
act. The Republicans can afford -to
abide the result with equanimity.
CHANGS THE .CAPITAL.
A temporary injunction, at the in
- stance of a citizen of Salem, has been
issued aeainst the location - of the
Soldiers' Home at Roseborg, and the
prayer of the plaintiff is to the effect
that tbis injunction be made perma
nent against locating the institution
. at any other pjace than at the "seat of
government," as the constitution' of the
late provides. If Salem intends to
eniorce mis provision in regsru to uu
f . , - - i n
public institutions it is time that the
balance of Oregon agitated the ques
tion of a charge of the state capital.
It is not the geographical center, aud
session of the legislature by reason of
the distance to this Willamette town.
The constitution was adopted when
this portion of the northwest had little
, population, and since that time East
ern Oregon has developed wonderfully.
This change in the condition of the
country should emphasize the import-
ance of a change in the organic law,
Portland is more accessible to all por
tions of the state, and we have no
doubt the business men of the metrop
olis would be willing to subscribe
liberally towards the erection of suit
able buildings. The next legislature
should pass an act submitting to the
electors of this state the question of
changing the capital from its present
location, and we are satisfied that if
the law mentioned Portland or some
other convenient city for the "seat of
government," it would receive a ma
jority of the votes cast
There are many provisions in the
state constitution that have not been
enforced heretofore, and notably the
one in reference to indebtedness of
counties. This is the first time that
any effort - has been made to enforce
this practically obsolete one, and the
university at Eugene, agricultural col
lege at Corvallis, state normal schools
at Monmouth and Weston are in
stances where it has been violated with
impunity.
If successful in the effort to locate
the Home in Salem, the next move
will be against the branch insane asy
lum in Eastern Oregon, and the "seat
of government" will end the fight by
causing the removal of all public in
stitutions to its vicinity.
The capital should be removed to a
more central locality, and the press of
he state, outside of Salem, should agi
tate the question, so that it may be
submitted to a vote of the people after
the next session of the legislature.
Gold excitements we are apt to
place in the same classification with
land booms, and pay little attention to
either. They are usually delusive,
and are inaugurated by , men who pay
more consideration to the improve
ment of their own financial condition
than that of . their fellows. If gold
exists it will soon coarse through the
channels of trade, and where one is
fortunate enough to strike a rich
"pocket" a hundred others are im-j
poverished by the strenuous efforts to
catch a will'o the wisp that flits from
one place to another and is almost im
possible to the definitely located. The
Pacific, northwest is a good country,
the soil is prolific, and there are ave
nues of wealth open for honest
aud persevering industry; but
land to be productive must be culti
vated and receive moisture from the
clouds or irrigating ditches, and gold
nuggets cannot be picked up on the
banks of all streams or silver melted
from every blufi' of rocks. These facts
should b borne in mind by immi
grants, and there will be no disap
pointment if twenty-dollar pieces are
not found in the rubbish of .streets, or
fortunes made in a day.
The Review of Reviews for May has
a synopsis of Eugene Richter's book
on Nationalism, which is far different
from the picture drawn by Edward
Bellamy. Richter's triumph of social
ism is notbicg to delight the most ar
dent democrat, and yet no one can
deuy that it is contrary to the prac
tical test of the ideas of socialists now
advocated in Europe and this country.
He exempts Eogland and the United
States from the rule of social democ
racy, and these are the countries to
which those citizens who suffer from
the oppression of anarchy in Germany
emigrate for redres?. The ideas of
the great German parliamentarian
should be taken in contrast to the ar
bitrary sway of Emperor" William, as
the one is radically opposed to the
other, and the happy medium will be
considered that most conducive to the
best interests of the human race.
The . community of goods and
labor, the separation of families
into nurseries for children and hospi
tals for the aged and infirm, with the
attractions of home and all that clus
tera around the hearthstone thrown to
the winds, is a gloomy picture. After
reading what nationalism or socialism
would eventually lead to, one will feel
satisfied with governments as they
now exist, and will not attempt to
whirl society into the vortex which
yawns beyond the present systems. .
The complaints against the manage
ment of the world's fair in Chicago are
widespread, and no doubt founded on
facts. It seems to be nothing more or
less than a means of shameful extor
tion furnished those on the ground
from the time one enters the gates
until he leaves, and, while the Amer
ican people may delight in being ham
bugged, they will not stand anything
in the ehapa of excessive charges.
Benches, which were intended for vis
itors, have been removed, and the
weary are forced to pey for the privi
lege of sitting down. There is an
attempt being made to stop exhibitors
from the Pacific states' from the gra
tuitous distribution of fruit, it being
claimed that this will injure the sales
by others. Foreigners who see our
country for the first time, and judge of
the habits of our people from the Shy
locks thfy meet iaside the exposition
grounds, will carry back with them no
very favorable impression of the Amer
ican people.
The German reiehsfag has been dis
solved by Premier Capri vi because it re
fused to pass the army bill, and " an
intensely exciting political campaign is
expected. It is claimed by the gov
ernment that the army should attain
a higher state of proficientcy than at
present, for the protection of the em
pire, and this is opposed by the liberal
members. If Germany places herself
on a better war footing, every nation
in Europe must do the same, and for
this reason the approaching election
will be watched with the greatest in
terest. Democracy is growing, even in
the German empire, and the -people
must be whipped into line before they
will support heavier taxation for an
increase in toe standing army; but
Caprivi owns the reichstag, and he will
send the members home as often as
they refuse to do his bidding.
Wall street is recovering from its
recent flurry of excitement overstocks,
and is resuming its normal condition.
The export of gold has been so enor
mous lately that the great money cen
ters began to shake and tremble, and
threatened a terrible collapse. But
the danger has subsided for the pres
ent, and confidence is again restored.
The end is not yet, and if business is
not depressed all over tbe country for
some time to come by reason of this
unsettled condition of the money mar
ket it will be very fortunate. For
eigners will cash their securities when
ever the question is being agitated of
changing our standard of values. The
United States cannot introduce bi
metallism into the commerce of the
world without the concurrence of other
nations, and the silver question should
be let alone.
President Cleveland says applica
tions for office have been "bewildering
in volume, perplexing and exhausting
in iteration, and itnppssible of re
membrance," and he desires not to be
troubled by these in the future. It
would appear from thin remark that
the chief executive of 65,000,000 peo
ple is becoming very tired, and needs
a rest. If a change in tbe civil ser
vice must happen every time there is
a president elected of different politi
cal affiliations from the former incum
bent, there should be committees ap
pointed to do the business. The pres
ident of the United States has suffi
cient work to do in the weighty re
sponsibilities of his office without using
his time to reward political favorites
of whom he never heard. "Public
office is a public trust."
The eight-hour law is gaining many
friends in the British parliament, and
it may yet become a law before home
rule for Ireland is successful. Labor
is demanding its rights in every por
tion of the world,, and in no country
more than in Great Britain.
THE CHINESE.
The Chinese question is again
brought into prominence by the cases
now before the U. S. supreme court
testing the .constitutionality of the
Geary act. These are brought by ap
peals from the judgment of the United
States circuit court for the southern
district of New York, and a writ of
habeas corpus is asked for Fong Yu?
Ling, Wong Quon and Lee Joe.
Able counsel have been emplojed by
the Chinese, and in the argument
Mongolian immigration and deporta
tion will be fully and fairly discussed.
On the Pacific coast there is no di
vision of sentiment on this subject;
but in some eastern journals we notice
the same positions assumed as when
the question was first brought to the
attention of congress. Our eastern
neighbors appear to stand on high
moral groundc, and make no distinc
tion between Chinamen, Hungarians
or Italians except in favor of the for
mer. They state that Chinese are iu
dustriou?, economical and honest, and
to them these are princely virtues. Of
coursp, these views are not endorsed
by all; but articles in some of the
leading newspapers denounce ell
discriminating legislation as contrary
to the spirit of free institutions.
Actual observation of these Chinese
coolies leads one to view them in an
unfavorable light as regards necessary
sanitary precautions, and their exclu
sion becomes desirable for the health
of the community. They live in
hovels which are poorly ventilated, and
frequently have loathsome, incurable
diseases. For the morals of society
their presence is undesirable, to say
nothing of the opium habit, which they
inculcate in unsuspecting boys, and, in
some cases, even girls. The act of
registration, as required by the Geary
law, may be unconstitutional; but the
absolute exclusion of any more of these
Mongolians from our shores we believe
to be for he well-being of society in
general, and this is not based on the
great damage they havexdone wage
earners in all departments of unskilled
labor. Self protection is the first law
of nature, and to open wide the gates
of immigration to this unassirtiilative
class is to throw down every wall of
defense against the evils mentioned.
THE VERDICT OF HITGRY.
A Democratic exchange says: "Na
poleon McKinley told the Home Mar
ket Club of Boston recently, that 'the
Republican party requires neither
eulogy nor apology.' The gentleman
is correct. After a man is dead,
eulogies are a bore and apologies a
waste of energy." And then showing
its inability to produce a Bingle argu
ment against the policies inaugurated
by the Republican party, repeats the
very old "chestnut" about "admiring
its pluck and pitying its judgment."
It is undoubtedly the weakest attempt
we have ever read to answer the well
considered arguments of a great states
man like Gov. McKinley, aud, in the
mind of every intelligent reader, will
recoil upon itself. The record of the
party for more than thirty years is the
history of the country. It has been
the power that has overcome rebellion,
established finances on a firm basis,
built up American industries and
made citizenship of the republic
source of pride in every nation on the
globe, and no stale, puerile jokes will
detract from its high standing among
our people and the respect it has won
in the world. Tbe Republican or
ganization is not ashamed of
a single act it has ever in
troduced in congress, and if tbe
Democracy consider the party a corpse
it will awaken from its delusive dream
to find that Republican principles of
national administration are sofirmly
impressed upon the institutions of the
country that Grover Cleveland and his
cabinet dare not institute any policy
to tbe contrary. All Republicans de
sire a test ot tbe tree trade Unicao
platform, knowing full well that it-will
result in the discomfiture of the De
mocracy and the reinstatement of the
party of Lincoln, Sumner, Sherman
and Grant in power. Gov. McKinley
is true to the facts of history when he
says that the "Republican party re
quires neither eulogy nor apology."
The former Is verified by a happy,
united and prosperous nation, and the
latter is not necessary without the im
possible condition of the facts of his
tory being succeasfully controverted.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Spain has fewfriends on this side of
the Atlantic, and it will cause univer
sal regret that tbe recent attempt at
revolution in Cuba wad unsuccessful.
This is an era of freedom, and tbe
inhabitants of the western hemisphere
should owe no allegiance to apy Euro
pean monarch.
General Gonzales, ex-president of
Mexico, died at the City of Mexico
yesterday. It was largely through his
efforts that the revolution was suc
cessful which placed' General Diaz as
tbe chief executive of the republic.
He was very popular among his fel
low citizens, and his death will be uni
versally deplored.
The news of a bloody duel comes
from Mexico, where two men fought
to the finish with keen-bladed knives.
One dropped dead and the other was
fatally wounded. This was caused by
attentions to the same young lady, and
jealousy prompted the encounter.
Wine and women have been the curse
of tbe world since Noah's time, and,
we presume, always will be.
Carlyle Harris was electrocuted to
day, and the outraged law has been
satisfied. Whether guilty of the crime
of murder or not he has suffered the
extreme penalty of the law, and if in
nocent, the wrong done him and his
family can never receive just repara
tion. It is in order now for the pa
pers that have loudly demanded his
death to feel fully satisfied, and in
their post-mortem editorials not to
draw' the frailties of Harris "from
their last abode."
The Russian government has be-
gun the expulsion of the Jews from
Poland, and this persecuted people 1
will be forced to undergo innumerable
hardships. With Siberia and the re
ligious persecution of Jews the modern
.history of Russia is as barbarous as
that of other European countries dur
ing the middle ages. Granted full
privileges of citizenship in England
and America this Semitic race has
been driven from the dominions of the
Czar with a cruelty that would put to
the blush the savage tribes of Africa
or America.
It seems that Hon. Dan Murphy,
chairman of the Democratic central
committee of Oregon, is displaying his
influence with the present administra
tion, and the plums are beginning to
drop in the direction of Oregon. Be
sides several fourth class postmasters
he secured yesterday the appointment
of Mr. Edward C. Russell as appraiser
of the port of Portland. This is the )
fallpn I
into the lap of an Oregonkn, and more
will follow. Our advice may not be
heeded, but the following is cr en
gratuitously to office-seekers: "Make
your peace with Dan Murphy and
keep away from Washington City."
In its issue of yesterday the Tele'
gram quoted a portion of the Times-
Mocxtaineer's editorial on changing
the state capital, and credited it to
the Dalles Uhronicle. it this was
done inadvertently, it is excusable;
but if intentional, it was a despicable
theft, unworthy the fairness and dig
nity of journalism. We are inclined
to consider it the latter, because of the
contemptible manner tbe Telegram has
followed lately of taking items from
this paper, and giving credit to a
"Dalles paper." We admire fairness
and honesty in all professions, and
despise shysters in law or literature
with the utmost contempt
Hon. J. H. Blount, who was sent
by President Cleveland as commis
sioner to the Sandwich Islands, has
been appointed resident minister at the
Hawaiian kingdom. He was unknown
to fame until the president sent him
on this mission, and the principal act
since that has given bim unenviable
notoriety was hauling down the Amer
ican flag that had floated triumphantly
over the government buildings at
Honolulu. He may be the proper
person to represent the government of
the Unit 3d States in -these islands;
but he should learn the lesson of pa
triotism that will not permit the stars
and stripes to be lowered after it has
once been raised to a proud hight
The Telegram say: "The Repub
lican policy of extravagance may alone
prevent Democratic reform," We have
always entertained the idea that the
lower bouse of congress, in which all
bills for revenue originated, has been
Democratic for a number of years past,
and it is not possible that we are mis
taken. Furthermore, we have consid
ered that a good rule of economy was
to prevent extravagance by retrench
ment or reform, and the usual result
of the former was to make imperative
the latter. Tryt again, brother; but
don't say that the Republican extrav
agance of a Democratic congress will
prevent reform. Take something
easier, and recollect when you publish
anything regarding the last congress
that it was largely Democratic
The constitution of Germany must
be far different from that desired by a
free people if the monarch can inaugu
rate tbe programme he mapped out to
his military officers. If the reichstag
can be dissolved as often as it fails to
do his bidding, Germany is no farther
advanced in the science of government
than Russia, and the Star Chamber of
England in the seventeeth century is
surpassed in arbitary measures by the
one man power in Berlin in the nine
teenth. The voters of the empire are
educated and intelligent, and democ
racy will make a giant effort to assert
itself in tbe coming election; but little
hope of success can be entertained
when one word from the emperor will
completely block all progressive legis
lation. TELEGEAPHI0 SEWS. .

Louisville, Ky., May 9. Republican
leaders of the various national Republican or

that by to-night there will be at least 6000

public buildings are decorated with flags and
bunting, and this Democratic stronghold is as
suming a holiday attire in honor of its Repub
lican visitors. The Republican national com
mittee will hold an informal meeting to-night,

returning home from his store at midnight.
The mob, consisting of 300 men, were sure
they had the right parties, as the pocket-book
and other personal effects of Norman were

The Revolution In Hcndnras.

of the collapse of the revolution of Poly-

conflict, occurred last Thursday, May 4.
at Guebrabotizo, a small town someO
mileB from Yora. Tbe town and state of
Yora have all the while been tbe strong
bold of tbe rebels, most of tbe fighting
being confined to that state and the ad
joining one or Urlarxbio. in tbis en
gagement at Guebrabotizo tbe govern
ment forces outnumbered the rebels, and
by stealing upon tbeni unawares com
pletely routed them, not only capturing
all their supplies, but killing a number
of them and capturing the rest. Only

tbe battle Bonilla disappeared in the in-
tenor mountains, leaving tbe bulk of bis
few remaining forces at Yora in a com
paratively unprotected condition.
Tne Situation In Cuba. .
New Yobk, May 10 Tbe news tbat
came on the last Havana mail, via Tam
pa, was not altogether satisfactory to tbe
revolutionists. Tbey now admit tbat tbe
revolt of tbe young Hartorius brothers was
premature and its influence not tbe beet
for tbe cause. Tbe fact tbat tbe Sartorius
brothers had no reputation among the
patriot party did not encourage those in
terested in tbe cause to join them. The
autonomists held. back, when a revolution
under tried and eexperienced leaders
would bave carried tbe wavering ele
ments into tbe patriot ranks. The tone
of the papers indicates a very unsettled
and very unsatisfactory state of affairs in
tbe eastern end of tbe island, and be
tween the lines of these semi-official
utterances there is an ill-concealed an
xiety. Meantime tbe revolutionary
leaders bere preserve confidence and
speak hopefully for tbe future. Prepar
ations are now making for a public meet
ing of American sympathizers with the
Cuban cause, to be held in Cooper Union.
