THE SPIRIT OF PR0ORB88.
The people of the United States
should watch with great interest the
evolution of government in Europe,
and view with the keenest anxiety the
struggles between the monarchical ele-
: ment and free institutions. During
the last few years great progress has
been made toward .the complete free
dom of the masses from the domina-
, tion of kings and the rule of the no
bility. The signs are indicative of
advancement even in the most abso
lute monarchies, and in constitutional
countries rapid strides have been made
toward the supremacy of the masses in
govermental affairs. . Although the
armaments of Germany and .France are
on a larger scale than ever before
known in times of "peace, yet these
have the effect to postpone the dreaded
conflict between the two nations, and
the great improvement in the muni
tions of war make the arbitrament of
the sword less liable to be resorted to
"than formerly. The advancement of
science has been the advancement of
peace, which, if not impelled by v good
will among men, may be as lasting, as
though the result of the warmest
friendship. Very many theories
preached from the pulpit and taught
from the forum in former years, have
'become obsolete and muBt be relegated
to the sealed sepulchres of a past age.
The end of the nineteenth century will
witness a world renovated of many of
its supersitioBB, political as well as re
ligious, and will see a brighter future
tar the hnmam race than was ever
dreamed of outside of Utopia.
The conflict in England between the
' commons and the lords, the attachment
f the French people to republican in
stitutions, the spirit of unrest in Italy,
Germany and even Russia, and the
desire of these monarchs - to be con
sidered the friends of the people, must
be Interpreted as the foot-prints of
progress.-- When the autocrat of Rus

conscience of kings and potentates are
becoming aroused ia regard to-- their
duty to their subjects and to their
-e 1 - I .MAM.aAa A M
fellow-man. The world moves as it
never has before, and it will be no mat'
ter of surprise if the beginning of the
twentieth century does not witness a
republio in England, the democratic
element in Germany undermining the
. 1 aJ 1 I . jastM I
inrone supportea ov wajuue
stitutional government in Russia, and
the masses an important factor in other
countries in Europe. Tha new world
has taught the lessons of freedom for
more than a century, and the old world
must advance to the present standard of
free nations. It is not visionary to
have firm faith in individual and na-
tional progress, and he who not
diseern in -the hopeful signs of the
times a origus ana proeuemuo
must view occurring events with a dull
and clouded mind
TEE IDEAL VS. THE SEAL-
The East Oregonian baa a poetical
idea of a Democrat, and if its opinions
were correct one would be led to be
lieve that there were more of that po
- litical persuason in the heavens above
than on the earth beneath. But it is
advisable not to have too exalted no
tions about matters and' men in this
mundane sphere, for this is an age of
iconoclasts, and shattered idols may lie
thirdr around nnr "castles in the air,
This is what our Democratic cotempo
rary says in an editorial paragraph in
Saturday's issue:
"No man can be a Democrat who
feeds and thrives npon the sacrifices
of the DeoDle: who makes of office a
private snap; who rules to fill his own
pockets - and. strengthen himself in
power: who is more of a spoilsman
than he is a statesman; more of
wealth-worshiboer than he is a devo
tee of justice and equality; more of a
pretender than he ia a defender; more
of a parasite than he is a producer;
' who is kept alive more by others than
he is by himself."
If this is the standard by which to
measure a modern Democrat very
many leaders in that organization will
fall short. David B. Hill is not a
Democrat; neither is Grover Clevelaod;
neither is Henry Watterson, and we
are not luuy convinced um ne ea,

k.va UaA nnmn acauaintance with
Democrats for the past thirty
years, and we are frank to acknowl
edge that we have not known but few
to come up to our brother's standard
outside of innocent infancy or senile
manhood. Our personal knowledge of
members of the organizations have
caused ns to conclude that they are
. constructed of ordinary clay 'the same
as the rest of the human family, and

and another to draw a picture true to

greater genius, but tbe latter betokens I

painted a pretty fair human angel; but
when the picture u compared with I
Democrats in every-day political life I
it ia wlf u correct a likeness as if I
n inhabitant of the arctic cone had at f
tempted to draw scenes in hades from
the surroundings of his own home.
We are no pessimist, but do not be
lieve that any politician or political
organization can be successful in this
or any other country and incorporate
in their creeds or platforms the major
portions of Christ's sermon on the
mount or the Lord's Prayer. It is
more conducive to a happy frame of
mind to view things as they really ex
ist than create Utopias peopled by
angels, and behold them disappear into
very thin air at the least approach to
the . literal Some dreams may be
soothing to a person in a somnolent
state; but in every-day life there are
too many hard and unyielding reali
ties to be met as best they may, than
for any one to be deceived into a dull
and sluggish condition by dim and
misty visions.
POLITICAL PROSPECTS.
The unknown quantity of the vote
of the third party will enter into the
campaign in this state this' year, and
there are no known rules to determine
its strength. Two years ago there
was a partial fusion between it and
Democracy, and Nathan Pierce, its
candidate for presidential elector, was
successful; but 1892 was a phenome
nal year for political disaffctiun, and
it furnishes no criterion by which to
base calculations oa the result next
June. No doubt Democrats hope, if
they can coalesce with the Populists,
it may cause the defeat of some Re
publican members of the legislature
and one or more candidates on the
state tickets, and an effort will be
made with this object in view. The
state convention of the third party is
now in session, and the nominations
will be anxiously looked for, to ascer
tain if they are such men as Demo
crats could or would support. . If the
offices are divided between Populitts
and Democrats, there might be some
inducement to support the ticket at
the polls next June; ' but the ' friends
of the administration cannot lend -the
least aid to the wild theories advo
cated by the followers of Pennoyer
and Pierre, and as they are at the
head of the organization in Oregon
i v
fa8ion appears almost hopeless. Should
the afctempt mde it w00d jeop
Urdize the positions many occupy at
I "
the public crib, and-politicians are not
apt to make such sacrifices, even for
party success. Mr. Cleveland has pro
nounced opinions on national ques
tions, and he will not tamely submit
t0 8nch'an infraction of discipline by
his appointees in far-away Oregon as
would be necessary for them to com-
. : fiat-monev
. ... - , . ,.
mbitioa is satisfied, and
i is not necessary for him to cast any
anchors to windward for the future.
The Republicans need not be the
least alarmed about the fusion1 of the
two organizations, for they can elect
every man nominated if they enter the
Mmnaion with htrmnnv in tha ranks.

can industries all over the land have
been wrecked and ruined, and the old
party is again called upon to save the
country from destruction. This state
has always taken a leading position in
the Republican ranks in the northwest,
"na nM oeen ao,y represented in oom
t 1 .Ll i ' 1.1
wruacues ot congress, ia ton ureal
debates which have agitated the coun
try during the present session, the voice
of Oregon's senators has been beard in
favor of the economic policy of pro
tection, and theable speech of Mr.
Dolph in this line has been .scattered
broadcast over -the land. This state
should maintain : her reputation, and
she cannot do this in a more satisfa-
tory manner than by choosing a Re
publican legislature that will re-elect
Mr. Dolph to the U. S. senate.
Aside from the effects of the elec
tion on national politics Oregon in
tbis, her era of development, cannot
afford to give the least countenance to
the speculative ideas of the third party
on the policy to be pursued by the
nation. Capital should be welcomed,
and the infant industries of the state
impelled forward. To do this men
should be at the head of the state gov
ernment who have not imbibed the
false notions on Dolitical economv en-

majorities which the Republican ticket
has received in former years should
not induce lethargy during tbis can
vass. As a national result of the elec
tion t wo caDgressmen will represent
Oregon in Washington City, and a U.
S. senator must be chosen by the mem
bers of the legislature sent to Salem.
These are sufficient to stimulate every
Republican to an extra effort, and. we
are satisfied it will be ' made. ' Clubs
should be .organized in every precinct,
and Republican literature should he in
the hands of every citizen. It is time
for work to begin, in earnest, and the
sooner this is done the better. In
former campaigns the party has had

ALMOST ACCOMPLISHED.
The amendment to the queens
speech abolishing the house of lords
which passed the commons was recon
sidered yesterday, the premier an
nouncing that something of a similar
import would be introduced in the re
ply to her majesty's address. This is
the most significant action that has
been taken by parliament for long
years, aud shows that the democratic
elements in the empire are gaining
strength almost daily. The British
constitution, although not a written
instrument,' receives the veneration
appertaining to a hallowed tradition,
and innovations are only made, if at
all, after careful deliberation. Here
tofore every advancement made in the
policy of the government has been of
such a nature that it did not contravene
any of the provisions of tb unwritten
law of the land, and magna charta
nd the bill of rights were both con
sidered simply declaratory of the prin-
ciples of the constitution. Neither of
these were denominated revolutions,
in the usual meaning of the term as
indicative of a complete change of the
fiinrfampntal law of the realm. The
u j t i . c,
samt. may be said of the late reforma-
tions effected through the agency of
the Liberal party, and which have made
England much freer than it was be-
fore. But by no process of subtle
reasoning can the abolition of the
house of lords be placed in tha list
with these, for ever since the Norman
conquest in 1066 the lords spiritual
and temporal have comprised the up
per house oH parliament, whoae sanc
tion was necessary for the passage of
aay law.
Before the Normans landed in Eng
land, the Sixons in the Witteaagemot
anjoyed a considerable degree of free
government, and representatives from
the middle and higher classes made
raws for the people and frequently
elected the ruler. The conquerors
created the hereditary branch of the
legislature, and attempted by every
possible means to increase its power.
For long centuries the struggle be
tween the people and ihe nobles has
been carried on in the house of lords
and the house of commons, and every
tvrant has aimed to increase the au
" " "
thority of the former and decraase tne
power of the latter. t is to the credit

the house of lords remain, and these
must be eliminated from the British
constitution before the dream . of
Anglo Saxon freedom will be com
plete. This will be realized in tbe
near future, and the beginning of the
end of tbe Norman or lordly influence
in British politics is now being experi
enced. Fjr mny dsca des. the bouse
of commons have been the law makers
of Great Britain, and the throne has
simply been respected as a venerable
monument of antiquity. The ' house
of lords has been quiescent in nearly
every meaeure, until its recent revivi
fication in tbe defeat of. the' Irish
home-rule, and ' this . has sealed its
doom. While the lords jvere quiet
and obedient, there was no - thought

to the liberties of the people; but they
have shown signs of life, and in such
a manner tbat demands their complete
abrogation as a branch of the national
legislature. England uiust. be wholly
free, and there most be no attempt on
the part of the descendants of the
Normaas to reassert their old despotic
sway. Tbe Anglo Saxon race is pre

EDITORIAL NOTES.
The Populists have nominated Na
than Pierce for governor, and be will
be defeated next June by the Repub
lican oandidate.
With trying to make times better
by simple assertions and supporting
the provisions of the Wilson bill Dem
ocratic papers have abundance of work
to keep them busy.
' Tbe senate has the Wilson tariff bill
and Bland's silver measure for consid
eration. What a pleasant picnic time
the members of the upper bouse will
enjoy during tbe discussions of these
measures.
"I am a Democrat," .-a)s David B.
HilL '"8o am I," says Grover Cleve
land, and this is echoed by Henry
Watterson and' Professor Wilson, of
tbe celebrated tariff measure. : The
people are at a loss to know whicb one
of them tells the truth.
Oounty politics are progressing as
they should. Let tb primaries ex
press the will of the people and "tbe
conventions barmoniztt on candidates,
and victory next June is assured for
the Republican ticket. If otherwise.
defeat is certain, and many will feel
sore after the election.
French socialists must be closely
allied with tbe doctrines of anarchy;
when a member ' of tbe municipal
counoil of Paris has the temerity to
denounce in tbat body the arrest of
anarchists, and this happeneJ yester
day. Anarchy is an enemy to all forms
of government, and use the . most
diabolical means to accomplish their
purpose. The followers of this theory
are the thugs of modern society, aud
should- not be countenanced by any
one who loves his fellow man.
The attention of the people is at
tracted towards the American Protec
tive Association; but it will have little
power er influence if left alone. It
possesses all the symptoms that be
I token n early death, and if not din-
turberi the A P. A. will soon be num
bered with tne "isms' that were.
A good nominee for the Democracy
in 1896 will lie Wilson, author of the
tariff bill, and for the Republicans.
McKmley, the apostle nf protection,
The economic issues would be fairly
placed before the people with these two
leaders, and there is little doubt
which of these would be successful.
It is expected that Democrats and
Jropulists will "tuse in the coming
election, and by this means they hope
to be successful. One year of Cleve
land s administration of national af
fairs and Demoiratic control of con
gress have ruined all- chances of Dem
ocratic success in Oregon, fusion or no
I fusion.

the issue of 255,000,000 without a
dollar back of them, rr a dollar around
them, they are willing to do that
which they have never done before

th. poioieg ef the Democratic pftrly
for the past quarter of a century that
it should favor fiat money, or any other I
scheme calculat d to win favor with tbe I
masses. In its national platforms since
lobo it has been "all things to all
men, and during the campaign of
1892 the letter of acceptance of Preai
dent Cleveland and the platform oq
which he was ejected were far from
being in harmony with each other.

London, March 14 When . the house

court announced tbat tbe government
had decided to move the rejection of the
amended address in reply to the queeo's
speech, looking to the abolition of ibe
hou--e of lords, whea it is put from the
chnir. and substitute another abort ad
dress in reply. t was a proceeding lor
which the HoVeromeiit held themselves
entirely resuonsilile They could not

Balfour and Cbamberaii, conserva
live sod uuiooist lenders atsured Hie
government of their support, but Cham-
ocriain added that yesterday's proceed
ings thowed that this time the govern
ment asked their constituencies tor a new
mandate.
Lanouchere, radical reader, said th a
the amendment passed yesterday was not
intended as a vote ot waoL-of confidence
n the government, but to quicken tbeir
action in tbexecution ot what tbe ma
jonty of its supporters 'n the country de
manded. ine radicals were satisfied
that yesterday's majority was the best
they were likely to get. and therefore
tbey would not oopose tbe substitute for
it in the address. Labouchere continued
bv saving that whatever the government
iu me ameoament passed vesterdav
would still remain the decision of tbe
commons.
"We are the representatives of the peo
pie, he said, "and the government ar
our representatives, I do not -recognize
mat ine government are my mastcis;
always regarded them as tbe servants Oi
a majority ol the house, and tbe majority
demanded prompt, speedy and drastic
action."
Finally the boose rejected the address
as amended yesterday, and adopted the
address substituted by Chancellor Har-
conrt. .

Juvlal Joe Blackburn
Washington. Mircb 14 Every United
Stttes senator found in bis mail yester
day a little package ot religious tracts
encircled by a rubber band and bearing
on its tare the words, "Comp itutnts ol
J. S. C.'B ackburo." This was the pop
olar Kentucky senator device lor an
nouocioe to hia associates that he had
abandoned forever bis old life and entered
upon a new and untried existence, as tbe
result of the convicting eloquence
of
Evangelist Moody, wbu has been bold
ing revival meetings lo Washington for
a month. Very earv in the course of the
Moody meetings the Kentockian began
tn exhibit remarkable Interest in tbem.
He became a regular attendant, , sat on
the platform night after - night, within
few feet of Moody, and it was noticed
that the two bad frequent conversations
together Then Mr. Biackburn began to
invite some of bis friends to tbe meetings
and everybody understood that be was
very much impressed, but Ihe idea that
jovial "Joe" Blackburn, who had for
bis whole lite led the gay existence which
is peculiarly adapted to tbe Kentucky
temperament, should really become con
verted by Moody's teachings and enter
the work of evangelisation himself even
in a small way, never entered anybody's
bead. The graye and aggressive sena
tors, from the aged Mm ill d..wn to the
youthful Dubois, are woa leriag .which
of tbem is to be influenced by Joe Black
burn's change of heait and I iht the
eioqucBt and big-hearted Kxutuckian's
new enthusiasm will carry him.
