PROTECTION.
The action of Admiral Ben am in
the harbor of Rio in asyig force in
protecting American commerce yill be
applanded in all portions of the coon

pride in their navy as well as their
army. It was an act which, in itself,
was not indicative of any great hero

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Democrats are antagonistic to
the income tax, and the dispatches
state that Burke Cochran made tbe
most eloquent speech of his life yes
terday. But this tax is Democratic
medicine, and must oe swallowed or
gulped down some way.
The Salem Statesman is the only one
of our exchanges that we have noticed
so far that has come to the defense of
the Oregonian in its antagonistic atti
tude towards the action of the state
board of equalization regarding the
assessment of the property of Mult
nomah county.
"The Mid winter fair at San Francisco
was opened yesUrday, although all the
buildings will not" be completed for a
week. California will be greatly Uen
efitted by this exhibition of her pro
ducts, and undoubtedly it will at
tract a large immigration to that state
in the near future. The northwest
should also receive benefit from the
Midwinter fair, and Oregon should not
be behind oth r states in showing the
products of her prolific soil, her tim
ber and mineral wealth.
The Portland Chronicle publishes a
leading editorial in its last issue en
dorsing the American Protective As
sociation, and says "it is a defensive
organization, and is not in tbe slight
est dngree aggressive, neither does it
aim to interfere with the constitutional
rights, religious or civil, of any citizen
or citizens." As the editor of our es
teemed cotemporary speaks very pos
itively en this matter he may have
sources of information of which other
members of that community are ig
norrnt. The re-establishment of the mort
gage tax law is advocated by some of
our exchange8,as they claim this would
be a means of making money-lenders
bear some of the burdens of support
ing the government. But when the
law was in operation it did not have
that effect, and we do not believe it
would if re enacted. Capita! in a
young state like Oregon should be en
couraged, as it is necessary for the
development of the country, and, if a
tax on mortgages weuld work some in
convenience to money-oroKers, tne
amount will finally come out of the
pocket of the borrower and mortgagee.
The report of the organization of a
Canadian force at Victoria to serve
ex-Queen Liliuokalani may be true,
says the San Francisco Chronicle, but
it is certain that such guards would
never be permitted by tbe provisional
government to land in Honolulu

ihe present financial depression and
public distress, want and starvation
make men wild, and excesses are liahl
to be committed by persons who.under
other circumstances, would be good
citizens. While it will not do to ex
cuse assassination under any circum
stances, it is in accordance with phi
Inn hropic statesmansniD that every
thing which have a tendency to impel
acts of violence, in sound or unsound
minds, should be removed if possi
ble. In the meantime, every effort
should be made to ameliorate the con
dition of the unfortunate classes.
With despotic governments any rem
edy is difficult of application; hut in
oar own country a broad-handed char
ity will tend largely to alleviate the
present misery.
Oregon will be the first state to vote
in 1894, and it should be the aim of
Republicans to make the majority as
large as possible. To this end all dis
sensions should be healed, and united
ranks should meet the enemy in June.

The torum for February deals with
practical questions, and those which
are pertinent to the present times in
in this country. "Methods of Belief
for the Unemployed" by Josephine S.
Lowell and "The Personal Problem of
Charity" by Rev. Dr. Lyman Vbbott,
are not subjects which should be rele
gated to homiletics, but are of such
importance that they should receive
the attention of every ' patriotic citi
zen, lhe distress which is now being
suffered in the United States- is not
the chronic condition of our people;
but result from causes which the most
thrifty and industrious could not avert.
They therefore call for an immediate
and peculiar remedy. To hi net this
exigency is not only tbe duty of benev
olent persons but ef patriotic citizens.
In these articles in the Forum this
subject is thoroughly discussed, and
the careful reductions of the authors
are such as will commend themselves
to the thoughtful of all classes. There

republic when those who needed char-

tariff.
Mr. Teal's statement is unquali
fiedly false, and, whether made from
lack of information or other cause, it
should be denounced by every public
print in this region of country, in
which such a large annual revenue is
derived from tbe , wool industry, and
which has suffered so severely during
tbe past few months from threatened
free trade. . Sheep-raising cannot be
made profitable with tbe product on
the free list, and there is a unanimity
f opinion among this class of men,
whether they have heretofore affiliated
with the Democratic or Republican
parties, against the passage of the Wil
ton bill now before congress. Very
maBy of them ' who voted for Mr.
Uleveiana in laaz say tney did so

A reduction has been made in the
wages of the Union Pacific railway,
taking effect the first of the week, in

amount of tbe reduction ordered by

cent. The employes are also findias
out what it is to have the road in the
hands of the courts, or in other words
under government control, as an order

the men from striking, and even de

If reports are true that Nat. Bin m
in Washington City, is enjoying him
self with tbe leading men, there must
be a "screw loose" somewhere in po
litical circles at the capital. Because
he confessed to the crime of smuggling
does not lessen his guilt, and instead
of having a good time in Washington
he should be wearing a convict's carb
at Salem. In his actions in the affair
that has given him notoriety there has
been nothing of the hero about Blum
To seek revenge on those whom he

In may be necessary in some cases to

enhance their standing in Bociety, or

However Blum may impose upon the
people in Washington City he is in
bad .odor in Oregon,- and will always
contin ue so.
Out of a list of twenty-nine mil
lionaires, published in a Democratic
exchange, there are only two who have
accumulated their wealth while being
engaged in industries that are bene
fitted by protection. The As tor estate
is the largest, estimated at $200,000,-
000, which was inherited from ances
tors, and John D. Rockfeller is the
next, a railroad king, placed at $175,-
000,000. A large majority of these
wealthy men are engaged in operating
railways, and only one of these, Mr.
Carnelgie, controls an industry that is
largely effected by the tariff. Jchn
W. Mackay made bis money in Cali
fornia, in mining speculations, James
G. Beonett and Joseph Palitzer the
former put down at $20,000,000 and
the latter at $15,000,000 are news
paper publishers, while H. B. Payne
given at $10,000,000 is the Standard
Oil proprietor, an industry that has
never received a cent of protection.
The year 189b is- expected to wit
ness the largest Republican majority
in this country that has been given
since Lincoln was re-elected president
in 1864. Ever eince Mr. Cleveland
was inaugurated, business has become
depressed, and every day since the
ranks of the Republican party have
heen augmented by new recruits.
Those who voted for a change in 1892
will do everything possible in three
years hence to reinstate tbe old order
ef things. This revulsion of feeling
against Democracy is not confined to
any particular class or portion of the
nation; but is general from Maine to
California, aad from the lake states to
the gulf of Mexico. There are three
years before tbe next presidential cam
paign, and if the same Democratic
policy is curried out that has been in
augurated the industries of the coun
try will be so badlv crippled that a
change will be absolutely necessary.
Notwithstanding the fact that Vail
liant, the Paris anarchist, has been
condemned to death the malicious at
tempts of these malcontents appear
not to have abated in tbe least. An
other attempt to assassinate an official
has been made in Spain, and, strange
to say, these culprits do cot try to hide
their motives in tbe least, but appar
ently rejoice in making public that
their desire is to kill the objects of
their hatred. That such persons are
enemies to society no one will deny,
and that, as a matter of protection to
communities, tha laws should be strin
gently enforced against them, will
also receive the support of all law
abiding citizens; but as these criminals
are the natural effects of certain ex
isting evils humanity dic'ates that
some effort should be made to eradi

It was expected later lu tbe day that all

It meets with fvor nownere, and com
mands tbe respect of ueilber party. On

tends to be for protection, it does not af
ford it, and on tne other side tbey be
lieve, while it looks toward tree trade, it
does uot accomplish it. Those who wib

it open-our markets to the desliuctive
competition ot foreigners; thoe who will
vote for it will do so with the reservatiou
that they will instantly devote themselves
to a new crusade against whatever bar-

is worse (ban tony bill can be is specious
and insidious, as were the bill cused by

to argua at length en the benefits of the

two men, as the tools wbicb were used
were taken from Cobb's wagon shop, in
tbe north end of town, and the tracks of
two men were traced from that place to
tbe postoffice. The entrance was effected
by cutttieg a bole in a pane of glass in
tbe back door and turning tbe key, which
was no tbe inside. ' Tbe safe was drilled

were taken. The sife coataiued $406 in

Tbe booty was taken by tbe tbeives to
