GLADSTONE RESIGNS.
The resignation of Mr. Gladstone,
U premier of the British government,
if true, ia the cloaiug act of a remark
able career in -English politics. He
was first elected to parliament as a
conservative; but finally became leader
f the liberal party, and as such hah
successfully s' inaugurated reforms in
' bis country. The disestablishment af
the Irish church, enlargement of the
franchise, salutary laws regarding
labor have all been engineered through
the house of com mens by bis master
mind, and the "grand old man" has
been the leading figure in British pol
itics for many years. The energies of
his later years have been devoted to
home rule for Ireland, and this meas
ure passed the commons, but was de
. feated by the lords. This may have
been the cause of bis resignation; for
the action sw aroused the members ef
his party that they demanded tb
' gauntlet to be thrown down to the
hereditary branch of the legislature.
The old man may not have considered
himself able to lead the onslaught in
his declining years, and willingly and
perhaps wisely gave up the manage
ment to a younger and more active
man. Be this as it may, the name of
Gladstone, if hereafter unconnected
with the leadership of the dominant
party in England, will always be asso
ciated with the reform movements now
wore parliament, au,
ment, his advice may be very influen
tial in shaping the course of future
events.
The foreign policy of Mr. Gladstone
was never strong, and under bis pre-
mierohip the Russians advanced stead
ily on Herat, and the fatal mistakes
of the Soudan campaign were com
mitted. What errors in these he was
guilty of he more than retrieved
by the advancements he made in the
internal affairs of the empire. If the
. lords had not defeated his borne rule
measure he could have retired from
active politics enjoying the satisfac
tion that the efforts of his later years
had been successful, and one bene of
contention in the affairs of the nation
-bad been removed.
The cause ef reform will go steadily
forward, notwithstanding the fact that
the leadership of the Liberal party
may devolve on another person, and
whether this be Lord Boseberry or
. Earl Spencer, it will not stop short of
heme rule for every division of the
empire and the complete abrogation of
the house of lords ond hereditary
monarchy. The time is now ripe for
the former change in the British con
stitution, and the latter innovation
will be accomplished when the people
demand it. To Gladstone belongs the
hpner of inaugurating the movements
which will culminate in popular .gov
ernment for Great Britain, and the
handwriting on the wall is plainly dis
cernible, and points undoubtedly to
this final consummation.
A SOLID PHALANX,
Never since the dark days of the
rebellion baa the Rennblican Dartv
presented such a solid and unbroken
front to the enemy a it does during the
present year. The defeat of November,
1892, taught the members of the or
ganization a practical lesson, and one
that will be heeded in future cam
paigns.' In the days of prosperity
Republicans are renowned for follow
ing after strange gods; but adversity
and defeat causes them to return to
their first faith. For tbe last few
years the ranks of the Greenback, Pro
hibition and other organisations have
been recruited from disaffected Repub
licans, and from this can Be Democracy
has won many victories. The avalanche
of 1892 was unexpected, and yet it
was helped onward in its course by
members of the party that was over
whelmed by its power. This will not
happen again, and the vote of 1896
will prove that those who have re
turned to the ranks are firmer believers
n the principles of protection than
they were before the free-trade test had
been made. Tbe party, in its national
platforms, has advocated no policy
that could not stand the test of ex
perience, and as it bas made tbe his
tory of the country in the past, it will
be accorded the same high privilege in
the future. From the wreck and ruin
of disintergration and rebellion, under
the lamented Lincoln, it saved the
. country during the late civil war, and
from almost equal disastrous conse
quences, suffered by the inauguration
: of Democratic political falacies, it will
be called upon to save the nation in
1896.
"PAUL JONES.9
This, is the way the Inter Ocean
speaks of the feat of this man who is
to make the journey around the world:
"Wits win. The career of one
'Paul Jones,' ef Boston, who, starting
penniless is to belt tbe globe this year
of grace and come home with $5000
to the good, will be worth taking note
of. Many will call him a fool and
vote his project too silly to condemn,
but such judgment will be inconsid
erate, for Jones has wits and gump
tion, deep as a well, and he purposes
doing a far more difficult feat than has
distinguished our star globe trotters I
heretofore. , Then, too, Jones is inge
nious and haa nerve illimitable, and
after all nerve every one of us ad--mircs,
"Jones' project, when, triumphantly
consummated, will have proven a fine
bit of evolution. His seed, his proto
plasm, so to speak, was six cents, re-
ceived for admission to the room in
the Boston Press Club, where, in natal
nudity, be began bis mundivagant ca-
reer. With his money he bought pins
and a newspaper, and thus in Adam-
itic garb cast about for the paper suit
and the blanket suit into which be
successively blossomed.
"Yen, Jones is all right For that
matter, Jones is select timber. He is
six feet two, has a 45 chest, is 27 years
pld, and a Harvard man, has pub
lished poems when he waa callow
and ha taken a whirl out of law. He

Alt IMPORTANT ELECTION.
The election next June is not only
of the greatest importance to the state,
but it may have disastrous influences
oc the' nation at large, and, therefore.
should receive the closest attention. Iu
the present condition of affairs then
is every incentive to stimulate the pa
triot to exert bis utmost endeavors to
restore prosperity to the country, and
by careful study, to ascertain what are
the actuating causes of the present
depression. It is no time to experi
ment, or to continue any policy which
has weakened public confidence and
tended to increase the financial disas
ters of the pant year; but it is a time
when wise statesmanship - and pure
patriotism demand that all speculative
theoiies should be laid aside and only
well-tried principles be put in opera
tion.
In the history of the world there
has never been witnessed such a sud
den change from prosperity to adver
sity, and from affluence to poverity as
haa tiannpnarl ninna t.he - inflncrnrattnn
rf Mr c,eveland hi- partyi and
halt should be called before American
industries are entirely ruined and th
prospects of the nation irretrievably
blighted. This can only be done at
the ballot box, and it is the duty of
every American citizen to so record
his vote that it shall be known as an
unqualified condemnation of the pol
ioy pursued by the Democratic party
in its attempt to inaugurate free trade,
The states that have held elections
since March of last year have nearly
all given largely increased Republican
maiorities. and some doubtful ones
have wheeled into the old . party lines.
Oregon has a reputation to maintain
in this regard which we do not believe
will be lost sight of in the contest.
Tbe only hope that anything can he
done - during the present session to
step the' financial distress is that the
senate may impose some obstacles to
the passage ef the suicidal legislation
now being attempted. Democracy is
too strong in the bouse to be thwarted
in the object to be attained. , Any free
trade or free silver measure could, be
forced through that-body without be
ing retarded but little by the small
Republican minority. The senate is
more -evenly divided, and should be
made the special object of Republican
solicitude for the next year. Next
June, the members elected to tbe leg
islature will cast their votes for U. 8.
senator from Oregon, and if a Demo
crat or Populist is elevated to that
position it may cause the flood gates to
b opened to the evils which the peo
ple are endeavoring to overt, and this
would be the most deplorable event
that could happen. Senator Dolpb,
whose term expires this session of con-
has not on M' presented the
state, but has assumed a commanding
position in the nation. He is a leader
on the floors of the senate, and Ore
gon could not do better than to re
turn him for another Bix years. If
Republicans do their duty, the party
will have a good workius majority in
the legislature, and Hon. J. N. Dolph
will unquestionably' be the choice for
U. S. senator. The state cannot
afiord to make any .change in tbe
upper branch of the national legisla
ture during tbe present trying epoch,
for no one has so ably defended the
position of the party on all the great
national issues ' as tbe gentleman
named. '
It is time that Republicans began
work in earnest, and tbe first and
most earnest efforts should be directed
towards harmony in the ranks. All
factional differences should be buried,
and nothing should be done that
would cause the least friction in
the party. No slates should be
made, the people's voice at the
primaries . should - be heeded and
not subjected to aay extraneous
influences, and tbe conventions should
crystal ize on candidates without the
aid of cjiques or the caucus. If other
piaas are adopted, success will be
doubtful, and our friends, the enemy,
may snatch victory from the jaws of
defeat
Mr. Gladstone addressed the house
of commons yesterday, and gave little
evidence of physical weakness. In bis
speech .he outlined a new policy in
British politics, and that was opposi
tion to the house of lords. This will
be in the future a leading issue be
tween the parties in the empire, and
there cannot bo the least doubt of the
final result. Tbe house of lords is
doomed, and, although the revolution
may not come suddenly, it will be
thorough and certain. It is not at all
probable that the lords desire any con
flict with the commons and will avert
the conflict by every possible means;
but it must come, and since Mr. lilad
stone has taken tbe lead in that direc
tion, the Liberal party will follow him
with the greatest confidence. The
course ef Mr. Gladstone
heretofore
has been in accordance with the Brit
ish constitution; but to eradicate thi
house of lords a policy mast be fol
lowed that antagonizes this instru
ment But the constitution of tbe
empire has grown and expanded with
the advancement of the people, and is
sufficiently elastic to stand this deair-
able innovation. With this unrepre-
sentative body obliterated from the
government of Great Britian that
country will be the freest nation in
Europe, and may be classed beside
that of the United States.
PROTECTION AND PROSPERITY.
The Democratic press are driven to
desperate .means to find excuses, for
tbe hard times, and publish some of
the worst sophistry for this purpose
that ' ever found its way in print.
Coming as it did upon the heels of an
era of unexampled prosperity, tbe
present financial depression becomes
the more difficult to be accounted for
Tbe following from an exchange is a
fair sample of the subterfuges with
which democracy attempts to deceive
tbe people: "Thirty years of protect
ive legislation has piled up immense
wealth for the eastern manufacturers,
while at tbe same time u bas impov
erished the farmers of the west. The
passage of the Wilson bill will eman
cipate agriculture. Any one wbo
bas paid the least attention to public
affairs knows that tbe last thirty years
of protection bas not impoverished the
farmers of the west "or any other por
tion of the country. Our agricultur
alists depend upon the markets of the
world, and protection can neither en
rich or impoverish them; but it is
benefit in keeping out produots which
would successfully compete with those
of this country. Under the highest
tariff ever placed on wool the suit o!
clothes that lasts the farmer a year
would not cost him more than $1 50
or $2 extra, and tbe higher price on a
single fleece would more tban re
pay him. Manufactures increase
the number of consumers and
decrease the number of producers, and
this lias a tendency to make the home
market for grain mora buoyant. Tbe
millionaires of this country are not
manufacturers, but principally rail
road kiags and those engaged m un
protected ' industries, and as a result
of the economic policy our laborers
have been better paid than those of
other nations. In England, under
free trade, there has been larger ac
cumulations of wealth by monopolies
than in any other country, and the
condition of labor is much worse than
in the United States. But if all other
arguments failed, the practical solu
tion ef the problem experienced dur
ing the past few months under a free
trade administration will convince
anyone that protection and prosperity
go hand in hand.
MISTAKEN AFFINITY.
The Princes Goloma is in trouble.
she was formerly Miss Mackay, a
daughter of the California millionaire,
and married a foreign prince, presum
ably for love and tbe title, she ac
quired the latter; but there was no
reciprocity of the former, and fre
quently she states she bad to protect
herself from her husband, who, in
some of bis aristocratic moods, would
throw champagne bottles at her head.
Her father dealt very liberally with
tbe prince, and paid off many of his
gambling debts After trying for
eight years to humanize her noble
spouse she left him and came to this
country with her children. Of course
she might have fared as badly if she
had married an American; but casting
her lot with a foreigner she will not
receive the sympathy she otherwise
would. mere should be no restric
tions on the affections, and if an
American girl desires to marry an
Englishman, a Frenchman or a Ger
man, she should merit no censure for
so doine; but there should be a closer
affinity betwnen persons entering the
sacred and holy relation of marriage
than the desire of the one for an
empty title and of, the other for a rich
father in law to liquidate debts created
by profligacy or cultivated appetite for
luxuries. The mixture of races has
tended to a better physical develop-
ment and greater mental power in the
progeny; but tbe object in view in en-
tering this relation in life should be
the one that is sanctioned by religion
and law.
DISINTEGRATION.
In intense agony of - soul a Demo
eratic exchange exclaims: '..Demo
cratic division was scarcely less dis
tinct or the factional feeling less bit
ter io 1860, when the party split and
nominated two presidential tickets,
tban it is in the two branches of con
gress to-day. Uur cotemporary is
correct in its conclusions, and while
we bave no sympathy to waste on
Democratic discomfiture, we helieve
with different management it would
be more closely united and more pop
ular ' with the masses. During tbe
last campaign it held out golden prom
iaes to the people, and these have not
only not been realized, but the con
verse has been true in every instance.
It promised unlimited coinage of sil
ver, and the president, among his first
acts, called a special sossion to repeal
aa act authorizing ibe purchase of tbe
white metal. On the tariff, it declared
all duties except for revenue uncon
stitutional, and has now a bill he-
fore congress which is neither in
favor of free trade or protection.
The people are disappointed and
lack confidence in any organiza
tion that has no settled policy in
national affairs. In 1861 it left tbe
country on the verge of secession and
ruin, and in 1893. it found the nation
prosperous and happy, and, if it con
tinues to pursue the policy it has in
augurated, 'it will Inave it in 1896
impoverished and destitute.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Our navy should be tbe pride of
every American citizen, and the stars
and stripes never waved more proudly
at the mast head than when Admiral
Benjiam, last luesday, escorted a Brit
i8h ship to the wharf at Rid Janeiro.
Xbe dead lock in tbe bouse was
broken yesterday for a short time; but
not sufficiently long to get a vote on
the Bland bill. It seems that silver
has obstacles to overcome befora its
supremacy will be acknowledged by
congress.
The campaign of 1892 was consid
ered to be one of education, and since
last March there bas been a practical
pemonstration of tbe problem of free
trade. Idle wage-earners, closed fac
tories and a general financial depres
sion attest the fact that the people are
not satisfied with the solution
The language of Mr. Bland in the
house, because there was not a quorum
on the seignorage silver bill, is subject
to severs censure. Comparing those
who attempted obstruction in legisla
tion to anarchists was senseless, and is
hardly excuseabln in one wbo has been
ho long in public office as Mr. Bland.
It may be annoying to him; but very
many consider the defeat of his meas
ure, by any means, the most advisable
course that could be pursued.
McKinley could not have said more
in a column and a half than he said in
these twenty-one words of his speech
before the Republican clubs of Ohio,
says the Walla Walla Union Journal
The rjeoDle are tired of this tariff
tinkering, bond issuing, debt increas
ing, treasury depleting, business par
alyzing, wage reducing, queen restor
ing administration. JNo administra
tion was ever better described in fewer
words.
The vote on the Bland bill in the
house is causing seme hot blood, and
Mr. Ellis, the representative from this
district, as courteous a gentleman as
there is in congress, was made the
subject yesterday of some unparlia
mentary remarks by IVnce, of U'l
orado. lbose who know Mr. i us
have implicit reliance in his veracity,
and will severely condemn the words
of his opponent When tbe lie is
freely given in this deliberative body
it degrades itself very much in the
eyes ef American citizens.
If the Democratic party pays the
least attention to tbe voice of the pee
pie it will not support the Wilson
bill. JN early every state bas sent
protest- against its passage, and
even legislative bodies have signified
their opposition to its provisions. The
general assembly of the state of Iowa
passed a resolution providing "That
the senators and representatives from
this state be instructed to devote all
their power and use allheir influence
to the end that the Wilson tarin bill
be defeated." This is in line with the
resolution passed by the legislature in
New York state.
The Bland silver bill, providing for
the coinage ef the bullion in tbe treas
ury, passed the heuse yesterday by a
vote of 168 to 129, and there is not
much doubt it will be successful in
the senate. It will meet its fate when
it comes to the president, for with his
pronounced views in favor of momei.t
alisoi he cannot do otherwise than
veto the measure. This bill will be
agreeable to the views of free silver
men, but will be bitterly opposed by
those who advocate a single standard,
and is considered inimical to the best
interests of tbe people. Of course it
will net become law, and the efore
the evils which it threatens will not
be realized.
A correspondent of the New York

London, March uiad.-tone was
I adly cheered tois flf.erm On s l e en
t.-red tbe bouse ot commons. Thesjeaker
put the ques'ioo that 'be house of lords
amendment t the local govriii nt bill
be considered Glads'nne rose aad ad
dressed tbe house in a full leionant voice,
barring a slight huskiness, but with
marvelous eoergv aiM vigor. He said
that tbe eovernment had fait the oner.
ation of sending and resending the bill
from ne house to the other had contini
ued long enough. To continue tbe pro-
cc.s would be a Ibs m dignity ef both
houses, and the government bad decided
to stop the operation and take a decided
course. Tbe government had the choice
of the rejection ot the house of lords
amendments, abandoning tbe hope of
parsing the bill, or to accept them nader
piotest, with a bpe of soon reveising
them. The government had adopted tbe
latter csurae. . li. adstone continued:
"We bave new reached the acute stage
It appears tbe lords desire to annihilate
t he whole work of tbe house of commons
In regard to tbe present bill, tbe govern
ment desires to save something from ibe
wreck and therefore accepted the amend
men's, hot with the declaratisn that the
differences between tbe houses were not
temporary or casual. This state of thingi
I am compelled to sav, cannot continue
Tne issue is raised between the astembly
elected by tbe people and sn assembl
occupied by many men of virtue and tal
ents of considerable variety.- Once
raised tbey must go to issue No doubt
there Is a higher authority than tbe house
of com mans, namely, the authority of
nations, which must in the last resort
decide at once. When thai judgment is
to be invited is a question which the
government alone can decide." Glad
stone closed by asking tbe beuse to ac
cept the lords amendments.
Hon. A- J. Balfour, conservative lead
er, rose to reply. He said Gladstone
speech was a declaration against the an
cient constitution of tbe realm. He asked
why tbe government did net start tbe
agitation against the house of lords when
tbe latter rejected tbe bome-rule bill
That bill bad cenvinccd the country tbat
legislations mutt be controlled bv
chamber wb'.ch would sot betray them
At tbe cenclnsisn of mlfour s speecu
tbe amendments were agreed to, 273 t
B7, and tbe bouse adjourned.
There was a state of feverish exalte-
meet throughout tbe debate, and tbe
strain was apparent iu the faces of Glad
stone and other members of tbe ministry
While Gladstone was talking it was whis
pered on all sides tbat tbe great liberal
leader was making his last speech to tbe
commons His delayed attack on tbe
lords delighted tbe radicals aod Irish.
During tbe session Chancellor Har-
court announced tbe government had
information which wonld lead it to be
lieve any government desired tbe reas
semb'mg ot the moaetary conference The
British government did not intend io
make such proposal.

Tbe first section of the substitute la
identical with tbe first sretioa ot the
