. ;""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-

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-

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.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
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

The nomination of Hon. W. R. E'-

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

Gov. Tillman pretends to be a Jeffer I

ment of the south Carolina liquor law I

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. To

This is a year

I Y was excited yesterday, when it
found that for the first time in fifteen
years the Democratic ticket had been

cities are wheeling into line,and toe fie.

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

I l ne Minnesota democrats are some
what discouraged, and in their address
I sav: "In less than two years, after
winning the most complete victory
any party ever won, and while in full
possession f the powers then given us,
i we present tne appearance ot a de-
feated party, while-our opponents d
I feated in the battle
wear all tbe airs
of victory." 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

themselves of it; but it by no means
proves -iiiman as an executive to be
wortny ot national aetestaiion. 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

capital, and poor meu would rather

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.

Since July 1 no brewery baa been al

been aeliing both whi.ky and beer on
physicians' prescriptions, sometimes call

resold by Bttiooo-keepers. Btcause they

department, which arrayed tbe druggists
against the saloon element. To get even,
the drnugists informed tbe customs of

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. Keltner was closing
up a crap game, and demanded tbe bank
roll, telling Eeltner he would kill bim
if be did not band over tbe money in
stantly. 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.
The Vaioa Faclfle Keeelvera.
umaha, April 10 A sensation in

port tbat Receivers Sanderson, Coudert

Judge Caldwell's criticism and possibly
also of Judge Dundy's delay in fixing
tbe salaries until he should see what tbey
earned. Another thing causing uneas.
neas is tbe reorganization scheme. None
ot tbe different interests concede any
thing. Tbe officers are beginning to
ididk an agreement will soon be ef
fected between tbe Union Pacific and

tbe annual Gulf election to look out for
Union Pacific interests.
Of Interest to Oregon.
Washington, April 10 Representa
tive Hermann baa received telegrams
from all parts of Oregon, congratulating
bimon bis sixth nomination tor congress.
Members of the bouse also congratulated
him. 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. All the Republicans here
expect Oregen will follow tbe example
of Rhode Inland in the coming election,
and enter a protest against tbe Wilson
bill.
