DtnimL Mr. Jackson mar thor-
: aughly understand Democracy; bat
.the Democrats who have materialised
daring the past quarter of a century
are far different m every respect from
the pictures he has painted. The
Democrats whom he dreams tf con
tinuously only exist in the imagina
tion of a fewt peculiarly gifted indi
- viduals, and it would require ouracu-
v loue powerto give them being and
tangibility. It is mere satisfactory to
deal with things as they really exist,
and reformations are more easily ef
fected and made more .lasting by this
-meaasgthan byjidolixing , my tbs and
ideals. Bro. Jackson'says:
'The editor ofThe Dalles paper is
very frank. His beliefs are very com
' mon and very much akin tothose of a
parasite or highwayman. A man
without ideas may make a good, suc
cessful politician, but it mustjbe borne
in mind that he would also be an or
dinarily j. successful thiet. JWithout
ideals, morals find honor a man is
nothingbut a'.Iiving piece of clay, and
hss'ne place in'a republic
' If the'realist, 'without morals and
honor", is'nothing butja living piece
of clay, and has n place in a repub
lic," the idealit,ith these, and ith
. no faculty of adapting them in every
day life, has no proper place of exist
ence in a republic, monarchy or other
country, outside of a lunatic asyln
The man who is constantly preaching
the ideal in politics or business, should
be viewed with suspicion, for be w ill
very likely develope into a hypocrite
or a scheming scoundrel. It requires
no great study for a man to knor the
difference between meum and tuum,
and ideality will not help bias to have
a finer conception of the rights of
property; but it does require some ex
perience with things as they exist to
give men ordinary common sense.
: a truth, which is almost axiomatic,
there are more lunatics in asylums
from idolizing ideals than there are
thieves from following the practical
ideas of matters. The man becomes
the better citizen by occasionally tear
ing down bis castles in the air and as
sociating with his fellows as an ordi
nory mortal, and not attempting to
lead an ethereal existence.
It mav aooear strange to some that
the editor of the Ban Oregonian, dur
u ing presidential campaigns, is in per
fect harmony with the party, and sup
ports anv fleshly incubus who mav be
K "
laced at the head of the ticket: but
when the contest is over, goes back to
his worshin of idols. This may ; be
a i
consistent, but his politics before and
after elections rarely harmonises.
During the canvass of 1893 we read
nothing in the East Oregonian oenso- I
able of Mr. Cleveland or Mr. Hill; I
but they have been freely criticised I
since. They may net be ureal iemo-I erats in the senate got bold of tbe bo
cratsr but they were the same before called Wilson bilL It may be remem-
tbe last presidential election, as. they I
are now. JTrom sucn actions, one is i
inclined to the belief that the editor of I
our cotemporary intends to be praoti-1
calj'when votes are required; and only I
visionary when it will work no. injury I
to his party.. In doing so he is follow- I
ing a rule of action which he severely
censures in others, and one that' .will
effect no great reformation in polities
or political parties.
The ideal and the real should be
harmonized, and in o doing 'men may
become better neighbors and citizens,
and politics very much purer; but the
idea! must be made perceptible, and
elotbed with flesh and blood, or else it
can never be grasped by these whom
it is intended to benefit.
WILL EE WBAKBXt
Some persons believe tha President
Cleveland will sign the Bland seignor
ago bilL and thus follow the lead of
the Democratic party that elected him,
As executive of the nation his highest
duty is to the people, irrespective of I
party affiliation, and .if he believes
this movement in the direction of free
silver is to the direct injury of the
best interests of the country he should
not hesitate a moment in using the
prerogative of the veto. His position
on the. monetary question is -well
known, and he bas unequivocally
placed himself on record on different
occasions as in favor of the single
standard as the measure of value.
To sign a bill which provides for tbe
coinage of the bullion that is simply
collateral on which silver certificates
to the full amount have been issued
will be stultifying him sell in a re
markable degree, and the people will
-never again repose confidence in him.
The statesman and patriot cannot b-
tempted from the path of duty by
political or other attractions, scd al
ways proves himself equal to any
emergency.
When Mr. Lincoln, during the -first
years of the civil war, was impor
tuned to issue the emancipation pro- j
clamation, he rose above party, and
did not follow the advice of Oreely
and other extremists until he consid
ered the act emancipating the slaves
of the sooth necessary to preserve
the union. The nation will hold Mr
Cleveland responsible for the result ef I
any injurious legislation, and the ex- J
ecutive.net the party, must bear the I
blame in history. Mr. Lincoln had
Ihe highest conception of tbe impor
tance of his position, and fearlessly
pursued the course that he considered
right. It cannot be expected that
Mr. Cleveland baa tbe same sterling
qualities as the lamented Lincoln; but
in trying ordeals he has an unerring
pls ef his illustrious predecessor ia the
executive chair. If be believes toe
Wili-on bill will be defeated in retal
iation for bis veto of the Bland bill, it
is nevertheless Mr. Cleveland's duty
t use his prercgatiye for what he

THE POSTAGE RAILWAY.
Dispatches state that the river and
harbor committee has positively de
cided net to allow any new projects in
the present bill, and that nothing can
be done in the house for The Dalles
improvement It is barely possible
that Mr. Dolph and Mr. Mitchell may
secure some recognition of the import
ance of removing the obstructions to
navigation above this point in the
senate, but such a measure will never
nana cob press at this session, with a
bankrupt treasury, and with the neces
sity staring Democracy in the face of
making-tip the deficit in receipts by
every possible curtailment of expendi
tures. The River and Harbor bill
must suffer by reason of Democratic
depression, and the waterways of the
country must wait, for appropriations
until a change in the administration
restores the nation to its former proe-
neritv,
The Inland Empire,which is directly
interested in an open river to the sea
should not place its hopes in this re
gard upon the government at Wash-
ington City. In a few years, the Uo-
lumbia will flow unvexed from this avor 0f the Republican policy of pro
city to the ocean, and the other por- tection, and when the enemies of
tions of Eastern Oregon should be American'manufactures and of Amer

at an approximate cost of $400,000,

without breaking bulk. Eastern Ore
gon is entitled to this consideration
from the legislature, as the public I
funds have been heretofore lavishly
riven to DUbtio institutions in ioe
I western portion of the state, and the
region east ol tne yascaaes nas
eeived little ot no recognition. The
railroad monopoly has charged very
high rates for transporting grain over
its lines, and the saving in water car-

riaxe would inure to me oenent oi
every farmer and shipper. This im
provement would be a lasting benefit
to every person in this portion of the
state, and would be a great stimulant I
to the development ot the country. I
The press should be a unit in this I
matter. and at the county election in
June every candidate should bo une
quivocally pledged to a portage read
around the obstructions at this point.
THE SUGAR TRUST.
'Tariffs breed trusts" when tariffs
are of Democratic manufacture, says
th'e Inter Ocean. The sugar trust is
selling its stock- "like hot cakes," and
at figures far beyond those at which
hpt eakee are quoted, since the Demo-
bered that the effect of the McKmley
tariff was to depress the price ot sugar
trust stocks, and, indeed, until tbe
Democratic party began to tinker with
the tariff the sugar trust was believed
to be dying from inanition, or, as the
boys say, "from want of pap." Now
it is renewing its mighty and oppres-
sive youth from Democratic stimu
lants.
The production of sugar in. tbe
United States was 370,579,307 pounds
for the year 1832. A duty of one and
four-tenths cents fer pound will give
$5,187,999 -as additional cost to the
product, for it is an axiom ef economy
that where the product ef a domestic
article does not nearly equal the de
mand, and where the duty levied on
imports does not stimulate production
of the home-made article, the tariff
duty operates as a tax both on tbe
home-made article and the imported
article of like nature.
But the sugar produced in the
United States is but a small part of
that which is consumed. The coh-
sumption of domestic
and imported
sugar amounted to 3,bZ7,lZ6,UUU
pounds for the year 1892. So that
tbe imposition of even one cent duty
on sugar involves a tax of $36,272,260
a year upon the people of the United
States. The duty proposed by the
senate ranges between 1 'cent and 1
1-10 cents.
Thus more than $36,271,260 of
texts are to be laid on the people for
ihe benefit of the sugar trust mainly,
and secondarily for tbe - benefit of
Louisiana sugar-growers.
ST. PATRICK.
The good St. Patrick, who has been
alepted as the patron saint of Ireland,
is a character well known to the his
tory of Christianity in the 'early ages
of the church. His memory is warmly
cherished by the people of the emerald
island, and the 17th of March is al
ways observed -in honor of bim. It
maices little difference where he was
born. Sufficiently is knows to give
him prominence in the history of the
world for the many virtues he prac
ticed, and the life of self-sacrifice that
he devoted to the conversion of the
inhabitants of Ireland to Christianity,
He was very successful, and the
churches of Ireland furnished mission-
anes to the heathenish Uelta and bax
one of Britain. With tbe migration
With the
of this people into different portions
of the world they have carried with
them a veneration for this holy man,
and today the green will be worn in
every country on the face of the
gjobe. Tbe warm hearts of the sons
of Erin will always keep green the
memory ef their patron saint, and
with that will be linked theashopes of
freedom aad ef nationality. ;

is generally understood, and there is
nodesirt that 194 will witness a sim

are on Oregon, and in this era of wide
spread business tagnation every Re
publican owes duty to his party and
to his country. This year thete should
be no slaughtered victims by being
stabbed in the back by pretending
friend within the party ranks, and it
may be avoided by fair and impartial
actions at the primaries and at conven
tions. No clique or fast ion, for per
sonal favorites, must attempt to secure
control of these meetings by schemes
that will not bear the light of day, or
else there will bt retalitation for the
political assassination of two years
ago. we desire perfect harmony in
the coming campaign for several rea
sons, lbe Democracy, now in con
trol of -the administration and of both

verdict of the sovereign people upon

A. W. D., the Washagton City
correspondent of the Oregonian, is in

In the Breckinridge Pollard suit the
evidence for the plaintiff has nearly
all been heard, and the reputation of
the Kentucky congressman is as un
savory as it could be. mat be bas
been guilty of a most cowardly seduc
tion is proved beyond question; but a
court of justice can never right tbe
wrongs suffered by Miss Pollard, and
a speedier and - more effectual way
would be tbe usual method resorted to
in such cases. '
President Cleveland must face the
music. If he refuses to sigh tbe Bland
seignorage bill the Wilson tariff meas
ore will probably be defeated in the
senate, and if he does approve it he
will write himself a political -coward,
who has not tbe courage of his con
victiona. The nation will wait with
anxiety to see whether the great idol
of Democracy is brave enough to meet
the dilemma boldly and honestly which
now confronts bim. -
The Washington correspondent of
the Oregonian is rather severe on Ore
gon Democrats, when he says that a
distinguished member of the adminis
tration stated if what these Demo
crats said of each other were true
"there were few of tnern that ought
to be outside the penitentiary." After
waiting all these weary months for a
chance to feed at the public crib it is
adding insult to injury to have such
language applied to tbe patient Demo
crats in this state.
Tbe plstform ef the Populists
adopted at Oregon City, endorse the
initiative and referedum in the first
plank, and the others may be summed
up as denunciatory of everything and
every person in - general who do not
coincide with their views on national
question. Of course, the party is
composed of disgruntled politu-iana
nd discentended citizens, and these
might be expected to give utterance to
a tale of woe that would harrow up the
soul of their fellow citizens. The ma
chinery ef the world has been going
wrong, and tbe Populisms constitute
themselves the proper persona to set
matters right; but we do not believe
they will have the opportunity, a d
their efforts for political preferment
will be simply a waste of force. It is
no time now to experiment with theo
ries uf political dreamers, and the
country desires a return to the good
old times of Republican protection
and prosperity as soon as possible.
Oregon will be true to the party next
June, and will secure a victory over
the Populists and Democrats, either
singly or combined.
This is irony from the Salem States
man; but we must remind our cotem
porary that there are no "Democratic
wool growers" in Eastern Oregon:
"The United States senators from the
various sections insist upon patching
the Wilson bill so ss to protect the
products and manufacturers of their
immediate constituents. But our poor
Democratic wool growers of Eastern
Oregon don t seem to have a friend in
that aueust bod v. Isot a senator to
temper the wind to the shorn lambs.
Net a mbmber to turn a sympathetic
ear to the mournful bleating of the
hundreds of thousands of poer mut
ton sheep goiug to slaughter. Unwept
and unmourned these poor sheep from
a thousand hills go through the Dem
ocratic slaughter house that will end
in the Democratic open grave. Friend
less our bunchgrass Democrats stand
in the house of their friends, reared
and roofed by themselves, furnished
by their own labor. Net an emotion
of sympathy do their sad misfortunes
receive as they are stabbed to death
by the cruel Brutus knife of Demo
cratic senators' votes. This spectacle
is enough to wring tears from the
painted eyes of a wooden Indian cigar
sign."
In the death of Louis Kossuth the
rorld loses one of its most unselfish
patriots, and a man who is well known
en both sides of the Atlantic, The

he always expressed dissatisfaction
with the arrangement. About forty
years ago he paid a visit to the United
States, and addressed several large
audiences in this country. His com
manding presence and sil very-toned
voice is still recollected by many of
our citizens, and no one ever listened
to Kossuth without feeling some de
gree of admiration for him and
heartfelt sympathy with the sufferings
of his native land. He was a man of
great literary accomplishments, and as
an orator was second to but few of his
time; Living to the good eld age of
92 years, his life had been a "troubled
stream," but the shades of evening

Labor Riot la Altoooa.
Altooha. Pa., Marct. 22 Yesterday
was a day of considerable excitement and
some violence, with a good prospect for
a serious riot. Early in tbe rao'atog over
800 men marched to what is known as
the Red bridge, about two miles below
this city, and compelled the foreigners
employed at 75 cents per dsy on the Bell
wood extension of tbe Altoona & Logan
Valley road to cease work and flee to tbe
hills lor thsir lives. Next the crowd, ey
this time strongly reinforced, proceeded
to the Elizabeth turnace, where in two
shanties about 60 Italians were found and
bodily thrown out and compelled to
leave, .after which three different attempts
were made to fire the buildings. Tbe tire
however, was put out in eacn instance.
During tbe trouble at tbie point, one
Italian was shot in ihe d k and badly
beaten about tbe head w'ii a stone. The
uezt point of attack whs Bell wood, where
all tbe foreigners found were driven out.
When the crowd, uow fuliy 800 strong,
returned to Altoooa.it proceeded at once
to the Italian colony, on Ninth avenue,
between Seventh aad Ninth streets, with
tbe avowed intention of cleaning the en
lire neighborhood of both tbe foreigners
aad the shanties.
THE RIOT SQUELCHED.
While the mob, now numbering fully
8000 persons, were hesitating about be
ginning the attack, Geneial Superintend
ent F. I. Sheppard. of the Pennsylvania
railroad Company, appeared upon the
scene, and, forcing his way into the ceo
er of the crowd, demanded to be shown
its lderg. Several of theie being pointed
out to him. he asked them to have the
crowu uispersea, giving his assurance
tbat nine of the foreigners would b-
given lunber work, and that if they were
given a nine iiiuq they would a t Uave
the city. He also promised that Amer
icans would be given work by the A1
toooa & Logan Valley Company and its
contractors, and tbat all would be well
if violence were not resorted to. Sheriff
Hughes sod Mayor Hoyer also made
their appearance soon afterward and ad-
j . .. . ,
dressing oc c.-owa in much tbe same
s'rain, tbe backbone ot the proposed
riot was broken and tbe crowd gradually
dispersed. Tbe Logan Valley officials
annouoce this evening 'bat no more work
will be done on tbe extension of their
lines until all labor troubles are amicably
settled sod no turtber danger or out
break msy be f'tared.
