Newspaper Page TextThe Times-Mountaineer SATURDAY.. APK1L H, 1894 . ;""0 LOCAL IMPORTANCE The Nicaragua canal is brought, into prominent by tbe troubles that have recently happened on the Mosquito coast, and to which place the ill-fated Kearsage was bound , when she was wrecked. That country is situated n,ar the entrance of the canal, and it became necessary for the TJuited States to protect her interests in that regard. It is rery probable that ene of the fleet in the harbor of Rio will be or dered to proceed there immediately under the command of Admiral Ben- ham, and that no interference will be permitted either by revolutionists in the surrounding countries or from foreign powers. The importance of direct -rater : communication with the east, by means .of this canal, is not fully appreciated by the people of this coast Exports of fish, grain, wool and fruit from the states bordering on the western ocean are assuming great magnitude, and anv moans ho wh.p.h frpiaht rates can be cheapened will be directly to the advantage of producers. Mr. Dosch, n the paper read before the horticul- tural society last evening, presented these facts in a very forcible light, which mast have carried conviction to the minds of alL Especially is this true when the fruit export of Eastern Oregon and the rates now charged for . . their transportation to market are taKen into conBiaerauon. a wrw-u of prunes now cost 1 cent per . poond to New York, and 1 centa to Hew - .-- Orleans, and this will be decreased more than one-half when cold-storage steamers can carry the product. Then ina lmnonimir at the distance to Euro - peaa countries of our grain export, it ia Mtim&tnd will causa a savin? to farmers of over 12 cents a bushel. Another matter of importance is the font that this waterway will onen ud new markets for our wheat, fish and fruit, which is a consideration of the utmost importance to producers. Ore - eon in a few yean will increase her fruit crop wonderfully, and if these can be transported cheaply to consum- era it will make the industrv more ' , mL. .v. prontaoie. -no resources o. northwest are not nearly developed, , and it is wise to advocate those means which will stimnlate their develop- 4- ... . . . u It is very evident that foreign na tiona have for some time looked an- xiously to cutting a canal to join the eastern and western oceans' on this continent, and with this object in view the Panama project was inaug- nrated by "France. This failed be- cause of the fteculations of tbe in cor - porators, ad tle United States is the i ..-. n-o-u. ;n .-lm'n- UU1J VUUU-t; UW W UUgBUU su ovt uiBj the problem.' That the Nicaragua canal should be under the control of the United States no American will dispute. The Monroe doctrine can ' be applied to this with beneficial re sults, and it is hoped that i( will be strictly enforced. While the Atlantic seaboard and Pacific are separated by snob, a tortuous route of water com munication, there cannot be that com mercial reciprocity which is desirable between portions of the same' republic, ' and the Nicaragua canal will unite the east and west in indissoluble bonds. Bat no flag should float over the en trance and exit but that of the stars and stripes, for it is not desirable that our merchant marine should pay trib . ute to a foreign potentate in passing from one ocean to the other. The project is American in inception and should continue American after com pletion. ' THE TICKET. With full state, district and county tic-ets nominated tne xvepueinaa I party may consider itself in line for I the contest in June, and there is every indication that it never entered a pol itical campaign with brighter prospects of victory. The nominees are men . who have tbe respect of their fello citizens and are thoroughly competent to fill the positions for which they have been named. From the first on the ticket . to the last each is en titled to the full support' of Republi cans, and the manner of their nomina tion was such as should produce the greatest harmony among partisans. The convention was particularly dis tinguished' from its inception for an effort to break loose from the domina tion of bosses and the machine, and in this it was very successful Nearly every portion of the state is repre sented, and the charge cannot be made that Multnomah county controlled th nominations. Portland has heretofore been not only the commercial center of the state, but also the political center. It is hoped that there will be a change in this particular, and that political favors will be hereafter generously distributed over tbe state. The platform could not be other than it is and receive the support of Repubh cans. There are no untried theories that the party desire tested. It has shaped the destiny of the nation for the past thirty years, and consider the principles advocated by Lincoln, Gar field and others as safe aud sound These cannot be changed with safety to the nation at the present time, and Republicans cannot do better than re affirm their faith in the doctrines of the party. Now that the ticket is nominated and the platform adopted Republicans should use the greatest energy from now . until June in assuring suet for the Dartv. In this era of fjnah depression, when a deviation fromhe policy pursued by Republican admin istratiomi has been the direct cause of unprecedented disasters, the people should emphasize their desire for a re turn to the old days of prosperity by larger majorities at the ballot box than given heretofore. Oregon will of ths make no mistake in electing every man on the Republican ticket by such an emphatic vote that will act as an encouragement for tbe November states. COLORADO AND MISSOURI. The Inter Ocean, in speaking of the recent elections in these two states, says: Colorado is a Republican state by heredity. Missouri is Democratic by the same token. A year ago, upon the theory of "When Jeshuron waxed fat he kicked." Colorado bolted tbe Republican track aud essayed to run on the Populist, course. A year has given experience enough. All of the larger cities of Colored in which elections have been held during this I month have given Republican majori- j jn a few 0f tbe smaller towns the Populist ticket has prevailed, and in a still greater uumoer or smaii towns tickets beaded "citis-ann," "re form," and "independent" have bt-en victorious. To towus, Lup'.on And Fort Collins, were carried by the Pro hibitionists. I But in all the state (bear it, O Is- I main one town alone remained stead fast to the Democratic faith. .Las Animas, population 2000, elected a Democratic mayor Out of sixty-six cities and towns in which elections have been held iu Colorado during April, 1894, one has been carried by I the Democrats.

With prospects of good crops, and indications of a sweeping Republican victory in June, Oregon should be hopeful for tbe future. Tbe present financial depression cannot last al- ways, and there are signs-ia the re- I cent Republican majorities that change will come soon. Mr. J. F. Moore, of Prineville, has received tbe appointment of register of the land office in this city. He is a prominent lawyer of Crook county, and was a candidate for prosecuting f.tmv nn thm T)pfinrA.t.m t.inhmt. in 1892. Mr. Moore is in every wsv qualified for the position, and we have o doubt bis appointment will give genera! satisfaction to the party and the public. I . . . m i The nomination of Hon. W. R. E'- iis ior congress irom tbis district win be very satisfactory to the Republicans I oi X-astern uregon. uis election is J TTl "- . 1-V . . almost certain, and the people in this portion of the state will feel satisfied that he will faithfully represent their interests in Washington, lie is a gentleman of unquestioned integrity, and in the balls of congress he will remain another two years to do credit to himself and honor to tbe party that favored taim with a second term. The silver men are not discouraged by their recent defeat, and have an- otner 0111 oeiore congress, it seems . t is -P. the only thing that,' will reclaim them from the idolatrous worship of the sil ver goddess will be a severe lesson in the school of experience, similar to tbe one given to free traders during tbe past year. Unlimited coinage of sil ver for a short time would effectually eradicate from the public mind the present mania that now prevails in that direction. The meeting of the horticultural society in this city during the week has increased the interest in fruit cal ture in this vicinity. Wasco county is peculiarly aaaptea to tnis industry, ana, in me near iuture, we believe mis win oeone or tne principal ex- jiu.i. -- .. u eCu uwiep u oas provea very remunerative, and I win, pmpci aiu'utiuu win ue a means I of; prosperity to many who are now engaged in it. Wheat growin. hat I been very uncertain for some years I past, and it is time that farmers turned ad WP8t than in tbe east; but mone their attention to something different.

Tillman pretends to be a Jeffer I soman .Democrat, and as such "des I pices Cleveland and his mugwumps." j The plan he adopted for tbe enforce- I ment of the south Carolina liquor law I will not place him in tbe front rank nf I the those wbo respect tbe rights of others. I and it is to be expected that he has little I affiliation witb those wbo follow sen- I of sible methods in carrying legislation I into effect. rS at this South Carolina I Democrat, because he failed in his I stats to carry into effect a plan fash- I toned after tne iniquisitorial methods I sectional, and an eastern maa is presi tbe middle ages, ehould not vent his I dent, therefore tbe south and west hagrm and disappointment . against I must expect nothing from the. present members of bis party administration in this line. What Th9 Wilson bill, now before the senate, is expected to be the subject of debate this week, and the people are expecting to bear from Hill and other leaders of the Democratic party. Tbey have developed lately an inclination towards McEinleyism, and if they Dossess the courage of their convic tions they will oppose the passage of the Wilson measure. The Benate is Democratic by a very small majority, and if Republicans can call to their aid the discontented free-silver Demo crats the country will be spared the calamity which is certain to follow tbe inauguration of free trade. flie argument of Populists and sil ver Democrats is that the prices of wheat and wool have not declined, but through the machinations of gold-bug plutocrats, the American dollar has decreased its purchasing power.

I Y was excited yesterday, when it found that for the first time in fifteen years the Democratic ticket had been defeated. Jersey City enjoyed a sim ilar political upheaval, and gave a Re publican majority of over 3000. Other cities are wheeling into line,and toe fie. publican column is growing daily. Four years ot democracy win oe enougo for the country for many years, and the nation will never again witness such a wild and senseless clamor for a fa . the ha).t QX n November, 1812. Democratic 8UCCe8s during the last presidential I T- j: campaign meana emocrai.c a.co.u- " -j can defeat at that time will lead to many victories in the future. The Republican nominations have beea made, and the duty of every member of tbe party is plain. There is every inducement this year for an honnest and united effoit, and good, 1 earnest work should be done. On the result of the election ne;:t June may depend tbe status of Oregon in the U. S. senate, and in this era of Demo cratic depression every Republican should support the nominations. In 1892 the party suffered defeat by dw- I integration within its own ranks, and I too. .1 ! .u .l- " DuU.u s..- est harmony that the disasters now . . . , m.- b- averted.

This is true, and the reason is easily ascertained. Democ racy attempted a radical cbaoge in the I eaonomio policy of the nation, and the result has been the most disastrous of any that has ever happened in the his tory of the nation. Tbis is tbe reason that Republicans assume the "airs of victors, and the prophecies of tbe evil consequences following the inaugura tion of tbe Democratic policy have been fulfilled in almost every instance. The Republican party was defeated at the polls in 1892; but their defeat will make them victorious for many years to come. While Governor Tillman has made few friends outside of his state by his arbitrary method of enforcing his dis tasteful dispensary law, not all of his critics denounce him with equal ve- henjeuce, says the Inter Ocean. As a matter of course his presumptuous control of tbe telegraph is deprecated, but bis use of tbe militia cannot be said to be condemned. Though, on the other hand, the Louisville Cour ier-Journal for instance calls him a "vulgar blackguard and bully" and a 'desperate blatherskite " the Boston Herald,' on the other, finds Governor Tillman to have "a sensible and cour- a8eons manner, and holds that under 8'miliar circumstances in Massachu- sons me muuia ror meir insunoraina- tion would be more deserving of pon- lsbment than the rioters. Tbis South Carolina episode furnishes many cri ics of populistio government witb red , j . ... i hot material, and they are availing themselves of it; but it by no means proves -iiiman as an executive to be wortny ot national aetestaiion. I i . i. . . , . . senator jaw, oi xxew xor, bas long enjoyed the reputation of being I one of the shrewdest of Tammany's politicians, and what is not taught about politics in tha school is not worth knowing. He is always" re nowned as being a Democrat, to the manner bred and- born; but those at the head of the party do not suit him, and neither does the Wilson bill. In bis speech in the senate yesterday he made the following significant re marks regarding the income clause of this measure: "The substitution of internal or direct taxes for custom house taxation means the reduction ef the wages of American workmen to the European standard. It means the degradation of labor; it means the de privation to our workmen of the com forts and luxuries of life to which tbey have been accustomed." This sounds very much like McEinleyism, and un doubtedly there are other who will follow him on tbis matter. In 1896 there will be likely no free-trade is- gue between the panVp, and protec t,on will probably be the motto of both, It mav be true that there are more advocates of frpe silver in the south ance, and any change from a sound and safe nolicv would be disastrous tn every portion of th Uniteu States. Democratic papers have, i-gun to apol- ogize for the action of their party, ant following will fnruit-h a sample of these excuses: "The veto of tbe Bland seignorage bill disappointed tbe people the south and west sorely, indeed, Not because they believed the measure faultless, but they were anxious to see something done in the way of silver legislation. This question is largely must next be done is to elect a western man fur president, and with tbt end in view every citizen of this section roust labor earnestly and honestly. The west and south combined has the power to control the national conven tions of each of tbe great political parties, and from this time forward tbe slogan should be 'A western man for president ia 1896.'" This may possibly, coming as it does from a state exchange, be an attempt to bridge the chasm between Democracy and tht. Populist party; but it u doubtful if it will be successful Judge Caldwell, of the Nebraska circuit, in his decision on questions arising between the receivers of the Union Paci6c and their employes, has made himself many friends in this country among all classes of the peo ple. The sanctity which hedge around the judiciary has, in a certain measure, I rendered it above criticism; but for on& years there has been a growing fee,. . and ,aw . . . , . 7 der influence of capital, and poor meu would rather I bear the ills they have than fly to I those they knew not of. But this Ne- I braska judge has sent a ray of light I end nope in tbis direction, and labor ha80nerfrlend on tW bench who can- not be awed into complaisance by tbe power of corporations. It is to be hoped that others will follow bi ex am pie, and that the only autocrats we have in the republic, tbe judges, will not hav- one interpretation of law for the rich and another for tbe poor, and one for the strong and another for the weak.' Justice is supposed to be blind: but there has been a belief among some tbat the climate of the United States has had the wonderful effect to give her sufficient vision to discern between a twenty dollar piece and a nickel, and to tell the 'manager of a corporation from a coal heaver. 'I here is hope that there will be a h d th. oarcoantry wM n0 longer bear this disgrace. THJ HTATE CONVKIVTIO-..

Btcause they sold beer, John Gray, whose brewery bad been cloetd, complained to the treasury department, which arrayed tbe druggists against the saloon element. To get even, the drnugists informed tbe customs of ficers of the particulars of tbe smuggling ol a lotot 1 qunr. Armed with a search warrant, the officers searched tbe bouse of Frank Berry, a saloon kaeper, and seized 5000 gallons of whisky, which bad heeu smuggled in from Fort Sbeppard, a. j. litrry was arrested aod is now held for trial on $3500 bonds. The Sw Chinese. Treaty. Washington, April 10 The oppo nents ot tbe ratification of tbe Chinese treaty are decidedly encouraged over the prospects since the treaty was taken up iu executive session Saturday. They have been led to believe many Repobli can senators will assist in opposing rat ification, and are not without hope of as sistance Irom tbe Democratic side. Toe fact that a two thirds - vote is necessary to secure a ratification of tbe treaty is favorable to the opposition. Tbey will firt try to defeat tbe treaty, and if tbey tail will then seek to bave it amended Senator White, ef California, quoted as tavorahle to tbe treaty, is expected to reach Washington tbis week.. His posi tion will probably bave an influence upon the Democratic side. It bow looks ss if tbe ouposition could delay a con summation until the tariff is disposed of. It Wag Mo Joke. Cascade Locks, Or., April 10 Lac t nigot, about 11 o'clock, a masked man. witb a pistol in each band, walked into a room back of Bader & McKenzie's sa loon, where W. L.

Eeltner, supposing it a joke re plied, "Blaze awBv,"' whereupon tbe robber fired full in Keltner's face. Tbe bullet grazed tbe bide of bis head and powder burned bis face badly . Eeltner then reached for bis gun, and the would' be robber retreated and was fired upon, but without .fleet, as be passed out tbe door.

Tbe officers are beginning to ididk an agreement will soon be ef fected between tbe Union Pacific and Gulf roans.

Hermann said be profoundly ap preciated tbe sixth nomination and has great occasion to feel grateful to the peo pie ot bis district aod tbe wbole state. Such confidence in a representative pro duces increased regard for bim amoog bis associates.
