CLEVELAND AND THE SOUTH.
The Memphis A ppeal-Avalancfie
makes a double-leaded prayer to its
readers that they, all and singular,
shall forever cease from complaint or
abase of President Cleveland, and shall
join with it in continued laudation of
his great and glorious policy. For, says
our southern friend and contemporary,
"What is the matter with Grovert
Isn't he all right? Hasn't he done the
square thing by the southt Isn't Eua
tia, of Louisiana, Ambassador to
Francet lan McKenzie, of Kentucky,
Minister to Peru) Isn't Porter, of Ten
nessee, Minister to Chili? Isn,t Caruth,
of Arkansas, Minister to Portugall
Isn't Hoke Smith, of Georgia, in the
Cabinetf Isn't Herbert, of Louisiana,
on the supreme (bench! And hasn't
Ororer the Great and Grover the Good
made all these appointments of south
ern men! What more, beloved friends
of the south, do you wantt Isn't this
a good showing? Let us give thanks
Thus, in effect, pleads our esteemed
friend and contemporary.
, Not for this world in one , entire
. chrysolite would we exceed the cour
tesies of debate says the Inter Ocean.
But we are constrained to say that our
contemporary is talking through its
hat. The southern Democrats are not
complaining of Cleveland that he has
failed to honor and to reward certain
members of certain "first families."
The southern Democrats the plain,
tax-paying, ballot-casting part of them,

want of affection, oreverr of esteem, for
first families." They are of the opin-
ion that "first families' have had their
inning, and that the plain people, who
hitherto have been kept running after
the ball, ought to have a chance at the
bat This is what is the matter in the
south just jiow, and, in our mind, it is
a very healthy sign that u is what is
the matter. -
The rank and file of the south are
dissatisfied wjth Cleveland because he
baa done nothing that they wanted
him to do. They demanded Nfree and
unlimited coinage of silver," and Mr.
Cleveland has shown himself to be the
extremist of all gold standard presi
dents. They demanded the suppres
sion of trusts, and Mr. Cleveland has
intrigued and bullied and traded most
shamefully for the passage of a tariff
bill that is framed for the special ben
efit of trusts. .They inherit the old
love of tht Monroe doctrine and the
old hatred of royal governments on
the American continent that save ro
mance and sentiment to tbe old-time
southern filibustering expeditions
against Cuba. . ;Mr.: Cleveland has
been the affectionate champion of the
negro-blooded queen of Hawaii. - ,
These are a , few of the causes that
make Mr. Cleveland unpopular with
; the plain voters of the south. His ap
pointment of a doxen, or of a score, of
members of "first families' are not
, regarded as atonement for his failures.
In point of fact, the president is all
right with the southern oligarchs, and
. because he is all right with them he is
out of touch with the southern people,
who are beginning to assert themselves
against the oligarchs. .'
TEE FREE SCHOOLS.
A special school meeting will be
held tomorrow afternoon for the pur
pose of determining "what action the
district will take relative to reconsid
ering the vote passed at the last school
meeting J authorizing the directors to
build a school ) house and to purchase
land therefor;" also to "ascertain what
the district will do towards authoru-
' - ing the directors to purchase buildings
and grounds for school purposes, and
to move one or more of the present
structures to places more convenient
of access to the scholars of the dis-
. trict." And further, "whether "the
district will authorize the directors to
borrow money, not to exceed $3000, to
pay the expenses to be incurred for
any or all of the objects stated." '
These matters are of the greatest
importance, and a full representation
of tax-payers should be present At
. the last meeting the district voted ' in
favor or. erecting a school home at a
place of easy access to the residents of
. Thompson's addition; ' but since that
, time the directors have been offered
nearly all the shares of stock of the
Wasco Independent academy as a
donation to the district, on the con
sideration, we understand, that an en
cumbrance of $2800 be assumed.
Under these circumstances, it is for
the tax-payers to decide whether the
academy shall be accepted - and . the
school house now in Gates addition
removed to the site selected near
Thompson addition, or the proffer re
jected and a new edifice erected as de
termined at the annual meeting. .' -The
grades in our public schools
have been increased . to eleven, and
these, with the exception of tuition in
modern languages, will place the sys
tem of free education in The Dalles up
to the statutes ef what is called the
high school It the brick building is
secured, the next move will be the in
auguration of the high school system,
and this will be a death blow to any
hopes of ever reviving the academy
and making The Dalles the educa-
tional center' for Eastern ) Oregon.
There are many friends of free schools
who believe that offering greater
facilites for acquiring an education in
common English branches is a more
friendly act to this necessary support
of fret institutions (baa by iasreasing
the number of high schools, and thus
centralising the system in eities for
he benefit of the few who can attend
these institutions until they arrive at
nearly the age of maturity without
teing under the necessity of earning a
(livelihood by manual or other labor.
These matters are to bo decided by
the
our dtisens tomorrow afternoon, and !
tbey are of the utmost importance to
every one. The friends of popular
education should carefully consider
both sides of this questson, and should
vote in the t direction dictated by en
lightened judgment. An institution
for education in the higher branches
of science,art,literature and philosophy
we believe, can be established at The
Dalles, which will attract population
and wealth to the city, and we are
persuaded that increasing the number
of school houses in this district is more
desirable than establishing a high
school here, and thus, in a measure,
centralising the system of popular
education to the detriment of out
lying or suburban communities.
STAND BY THE PARTY.
Oregon most keep in line with the
Republican party, for the economic
policy of protection is necessary for
the development of her . natural re
sources. In a few years, with the in
vestment of capital and the exercise
of enterprise by the citizens, this
state must take her position as the
foremost in manufactures in the north
west, and she has the greatest interest
in protection to American industries.
There is vast water power in the
streams, ore in the mountains and an
abundance, of raw material of all
kinds, and to make these the factors
of development conditions should be
equalized by the imposition of dutieB
on imports which would come in com
petition. , ' V
At the last bi.ennial election Ore-
gon gave substantial evidence of her far political purposes he should at
faith in Republican principles by re- tempt to mislead the people in this

the largest majority ne ever received.
Tnw year the oaiioc nas a particular
significance. In law a radical cnange
was made in a policy in that adminis
tration of national affairs that had
been in successful operation for more
than thirty years, and now that the
people are fully aware of the conse-
quences they are called upon, in their
sober judgment, to endorse or retract
their former decision. This portion of
the country was always satisfied with
the old party, and desired no test of
free trade; but after the disastrous ex
periment it should be mors emphatic
than ever in its support of the former
policy of the government. The party
should receive a full vote, and this will
be an endorsement of -the competent
and efficient delegation now represent
ing the state in the two branches of
congress. ;
Democracy offers nothing except a
repetition of the business stagnation
and financial depression of the past
two years, and Popnlist theories that
have been proved to be fallacious.
There is no safety or soundness outside
of the ' Republican party, which has
stood the most crucial tests of the past
quarter of a century, and which, by
the policy pursued, inaugurated the
most prosperous era in the history of
the republic.
; j - STAND IN LINE.
Republicans should stand up and be
counted this year '. This is very im
portant, as the Democratic administra
tion and free-trade are on trial Ore
gon has always been in line with the
party on national issues, and it should
bo more in harmony ' with protection
this year than ever before. Tbe ex
perience of the past two years is but a
foretaste of what will continue except
a halt is called by the sovereign people
at the ballot box. Be cot deceived.
The noiseless factories and furnaces in
the east, the 'millions of unemployed
clamoring for work, and the general
stagnation in business are the results
of Democratic' efforts to change'' the
economic policy of government to free
trade. Facts and figures will bear out
this conclusion. When the Republi
cans gave up the administration of af
fairs peace and plenty reigned every
where, the laboring man was better
paid than in any country on the globe,
the amount of money in savings banks
was larger than was ever known in the
history of the country.ind all industries
were prosperous and bu-iness brisk.
Note the change dreadful in its ef
fectsthat took place in less than
eighteen months.. Compare the con
dition of affairs in 1892 and in 1894,
and act so that' a return to the old
regime may be had as speedily as pos
sible. . The Wilson bill is still before
the senate. If Oregonians desire its
defeat, with its poisoned arrow aimed
at tbe wool interests of the northwest,
a large majority of the votes cast in
June should be for the candidates on
the Republican ticket. This is no time
for hesitancy. - Before the Democratic
mongrel measure is put to a vote the
voice of Oregon should be placed on
record as emphatically against its pass
age. This state needs development;
it wants factories and other industries,
and it earnestly desires the reestab
lish menc of the policy of protection at
the fountain head : at Washington
Citv. :
-
For the convenience of trade the
government regulates the value of
coin, but in the commercial relations
of different nations silver is taken at
only its purchasing power in the for
eign country, and as commercial trans
actions are quite frequent and of con
siderable volume between the United
States and Europe sillver monomet
alism would be a great disadvantage
to the former, because of its deprecia
tion. The free-coinage of silver will
impel mono-metalli8m cf silver in this
country, and this would be the great
est disaster to business that could pos
sibly happen. To keep a parity be
tween the two metals, a limit has to
be placed on the coinage ef silver, and
the friends of the white metal are
those who are attempting to make its
purchasing power on a par with gold.
This can only be lone by keeping a
supply of gold sufficient to jredeem all
national obligations n tixa basis of
single standard. - '
Ay Of EN RIVER. ,
We are surprised to find such pre
vancations as the following in the
columns of the usually fair and candid
East Oregonian: "Eastern Oregon
needs an open river, but it will never
be obtained so long as the state legis
lature is made up of its present mate
rial and Oregon retains her present
representatives in congress. We need
men in congress who are not under the
thumb of a "boss" who 13 against an
open river on account of business and
personal connections." Every mem
ber of the Oregon delegation has been
an earnest worker for an open river by
the most available means, and the pre
sent contract system at the Locks was
procured through the efforts of Sen
ators Dolph and Mitchell and Repre
sentative Hermann. On different occa
sions the Oregon senators have in
creased the amount in the River and
Harbor bill after it came from the
Democratic house. For twelve years
the Times Mountaineer has advoca
ted the opening of the Columbia river
to the navigation of the producers of
the Inland Empire, and never, in a
single instance, has it found any of the
Republican delegation in congress re
miss in their duties. There have been
the largest appropriations received for
the river during the time they have
served the people at Washington, and
for two successive sessions Senator
Delph has secured the passage of a
bill for the construction of a ship rail
way over the portage above this point.
Bro. Jackson knows these facts, and it
w a subject of great surprise mat even
reeard. B the way, if we are not
I 1-
mistaken, it was Hon. J. II. Raley, of
Pendleton, who voted in the Oregon
legislature against the first bill for a
portage railroad from The Dalles to
Celilo.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
Coxeyism and Populism what
8trange outgrowths from the Demo-
cratio tree.
- Republicans should remember that
this is a political year, and vote tbe
ticket straight from governor to con
stable. It is about time that Mr. Cleveland
should take a fishing trip. The cor
respondents of the Associated press
want subject matter with which to fill
their dispatches.
Another deadly cyclone has visited
Eansas,and death and destruction have
followed in its path. . There are peo
ple, notwithstanding' these disasters,
who prefer that state to any.other. ,
Populists must not forget that their
idol, Sylvester Pennoyer, who has
amassed vast wealth by means of the
lumber trust, endorsed Hoc. Joseph
Simon, whom they criticise and con
demn in the severest U. S. terms, for
district judge.
Mr. Ellis has always been a friend
to an open river, and, in connection
with Mr. Hermann, can do effective
work in this line during tbe next ses
sion of congress.. To make a change
now would be disastrous to the best
interests of Eastern Oregon and the
Inland Empire. .
t The senate has adopted what is
termed the duress rule "regarding the
Wilson bill, and the friends of that
measure will attempt to force its pass
age by wearing out the physical en
durance of its opponents by continu
ous sessions, without adjournment for
refreshments or rest. '
' There never was a better or' more
successful financial policy than that
adopted and carried into operation by
the Republican party from 1861 to
1892, and any deviation from these
plans will prove disastrous. Popu
listic fallacies would bankrupt business
and destroy the credit of the nation
in a short time.
Two years ago the Democrats were
very desirous' of impressing upon the
minds of the people that it was a cam
paign of education. We hear nothing
in reference to the matter from the
Democratic orators this year. The
theorems were plainly stated in 1892,
and the solutions have been made
since. Everyone knows the result.
The change in the prosperous con
dition of the country since the inaug
uration of President Cleveland has
become an object lesson to the people.
In bis last message to congress, Mr.
Harrison gave facts and figures, the
correctness of which cannot be denied,
to substantiate the prosperity of the
country, and every one knows the con
dition of affairs at present. "
A fellow bearing tbe title and name
of Major Butts has been before the
investigating committee of the senate
in relation to the charge of attempt at
bribery. The evidence of Buttz'
guilt is almost conclusive, and he is
reported as having absconded. The
honor of the senate demands that if
he is guilty he should be punished to
the full extent' of the law. If our
national balk, of legislature are to be
kept free from corrupting influences
tbe least approach to anything of the
kind should receive the severest pen
alty. . "
The Coxeyites are not accomplishing
much in their novel manner of reme
dying the evils now being Buffered by
the people. , In Washington City, the
general soiled the grass around the
capitol by treading upon it, and has
been sentenced to imprisonment The
train-stealers in Washington and those
in Wyoming have been found guilty
of crimes and imprisoned. It is
estimated that there are about 5000 on
the march to the capital of the coun
try; but tbey will meet the fate of
Ooxey and his men, and would have
fared much better if tbey bad stayed
at noma The matter will soon be a
thing of the past, and the "common
wealers" will not furnish even an in
teresting page in the history of the
nation.
The object of legislation regarding
the amount of metal in coins is to in
sure uniformity in circulating mediums
and to preclude the possibility of dis
honesty in undervaluation by decreas
ing the weight. Gold and silver have
been adopted as the bases of money
for . long centuries, even before the
hrjatian era, and paper only answers
the purpose by being promptly re
deemed in coin when demanded. The
government greenback, the bank check
or the individual note, if not estab
lished on public confidence, depreciates,
and may become absolutely worthless,
it takes more than the stamp of the
nation to make money and the same
rule of strict payment when due holds
good between the government and the
pe'ople as between individuals.
As the time approaches for the de
cision to be made in this state at the
ballot box the indications are more
favorable for Republican success.
The more public iBsues are discussed,
the more apparent becomes the mis
takes in the course pursued by the
present Democratic administration and
the urgency of a return to the old
policy pursued by the Republicans.
Business stability, the revival of Amer
ican industries, and the employment
of laborers demands that the economic
policy of protection be firmly estab
ishnd in this nation.
The Republican candidate for pros
ecuting attorney for this district is
Hon. A. A Jayne, a prominent lawyer
of Gilliam county, who hes practiced
his profession very successfully in the
different courts of the state. He is
peculiarly adapted to tne position, and,
after his election of which we feel
fully assured the citizens will never
regret the choice they made. The dis
trict is strongly Republican, and as
this is a political year Mr. Jayne
should receive his full party vote. He
is a modest, unassuming gentleman,
and, like vary many others, always be
lieves in others sounding his praisp.
His reputation is well known through
out Eastern Oregon, and there has
never been the least imputation against
his integrity or the least doubt enter
tained of his ability.
Oregon has never had more earnest
or efficient workers in congress than
at the ' present time. Hon. J. H.
Mitchell in the senate, and Hons.
Binger Hermann and W. R. Ellis in
the lower house are men who have
labored honestly to promote the best
interest of their constituents, and Sen
ator Dolph, be who will succeed him
self in the next session, is the peer of
ny one in the councils of the nation,
Through his efforts the Columbia river
has received the largest appropriations
for improvements to its navigation,
and the settlers on the public domain
owe to him the forfeiture of the Port
land-Wallula land grant. At two dif
ferent times he has secured the passage
of bills appropriating liberal amounts
for the construction of the ship rail
way recommenced by tbe govern
ment board of engineers from this
point to Celilo, and which on each
occasion met defeat in the Democratic
house. The charge that he is a rail
road attorney is absolutely without
foundation in fact, and the people of
Oregon never had a truer er more
earnest friend in the halls of the na
tional legislature.

IWI Service Dead.
: Washington, May 22 Tbe questson
of civil service reform was given full
sway in tbe house today, tbe occasion
being tbe amendment to strike out the
paragraph ia tbe legislative appiopriao
tioo bill providing for the civil service
commission. It gave opportunity for a
few stirring and a few amusing speeches.
Tbe amendment was adopted by a vote
of 100 to 71, amid great Democratic ap
plause, and Republican cries ef "spoils."
No other amendments of any importance
was made to the bill, tbe only ones adap
ted being to correct tbe texts of a few
amendments to which amendments were
made yesUrday. Several Democrats
opposed tbe amendment, virtually abol
ishing tbe commission, but is was adopted
by nearly a strict party vote. Among
these who voted with tbe Republicans in
favor of civil service reform were Wilson,
Tracy, Hendrix, Deckery. Warner,
Springer, Say era. Drain, Martin, Kilgore,
Livingston, De Forest and Everett. The
vote on division was 96 to 61. Cries ct
"No quorum" and demands for tellers

Stickle Hollow plants ot the Washington
company. Some wero armed, bat tbe
majority were not. Tbey went into camp
near tbe plant. At 8 o'clock tbey ad

ing wben tbe last striker disappeared.
Officials f the company say tour strikers

and marched them-to the pit. A deputy
sheriff fared tbe shot wbicb opened the
battle. Volley after volley was fired by
eacb side' at close range. Tbe strikers'
ammunition gave out and they were

Senatorial Bribery.
Washington, May 24Tbe senate
bribery investigating committee today
began a secret inquiry Into tbe connection
of tbe sugar trust with tariff legislation.
. J. Edwards, author of tbe Holland let.
ter in tbe Philadelphia Preit, was before
tbe committee several boars. It is known
be presented a written memorandum giv
ing some sources of information con
tained in . the letter. He declined to
state bis authority for the information as
to tbe statement that Secretary Carlisle
bad appeared before tbe tariff subcom
mittee (Jones, Vest and Mi! Is) before tbe
original senate bill was reported, and in
sisted sugar should be given protection
because of tbe party p'edges made before
election, or for tbe statement that Car
lisle himself bad revised and written tbe
sugar schedule. This schedule, as pre
pared by Carlisle, he said was still in ex
istence. Tbe fact could be definitely ap
certained by summoning tbe members of
tbe finance committee. The other state
ments, tbe authority tor whicb Edwards
declined to give, were that $500,(400 was
contributed by the sugar trust to tbe
Democratic campaign fond io 1892, and
that Moore and Scley (who, be said, were
Senator Brice's broker) bad been in pos
session of tbe latest amendments to tbe
tariff bill wbea Yoorbees still insisted
2!
that no amendments bad been agreed
This firm, be said, bad a representative
in Washington to whom tbe amecdments
were handed. Edwards stated tbat ac
cording to bis information the money
was not contributed directly to tbe na
tional committee, but given to other or .
ganizations, nor was bis information pos
itive tbat tbe safar trust as such - made
the contribution ; it may have been made
through individuals, with the under
standing tbat in case of success tbe trust
would be protected against damaging
legislation. He instanced the statement
by Governor Walle, of Qonnectir.ut, be.
fore an investigation committee in that
state, that wealthy men in New York
contributed $100,000 toward Democratic
success in Connecticut Edwards said
tbat balf bad been contributed by Have
meyer, and balf by E. C. Benedict. He
said it was notorious tbat leading mem
bers ef tbe Democratic party in Colo
rado had ' been in consultation with
wealthy Democrats in New York prior
to election.
