CEURCU AND STATS.
There, eaunot be any doubt that the
"A. "P. A., or Americaa Protective As
Nociattou, is growing in influence End
nnniWn in" the United States, and
that today the members have a wider
field of operations and mora sympa
thizers.than they had a year ago. This
is caused ty ad' unfounded fear on the
part of American citizens that the
Catholic church is inimL-al to free in
stitutions, and that itB policy is dic
tated by the pope at Komfl. This is a
mistake. There are members ot this
Christian denomination who are as
truly American a? the descendants of
the Puritans who landed at Plymouth
Rock ovrr two centuries ago, and who
would not under an circumstanced
follow dictation from the Italian pon
tiff. Their country, to them is as dear
- as it is to the Presbyterian, the Metho
dist, the Baptist, or the Unitarian.
They were born here, so- were their
ancestors, and individual fresdorn is
paramount to all other considerations.
This is as true of the Catholic as of
I. nvAtoutauf mnA Hnrinn ftn AVPntflll
uiuutoinni ' a -
history of more than a century no peo
ple have displayed a more unaeltiali
patriotism than Americans. The for
eign subjects of European monarchs
fint for their king and queen; but
the citizens of this republic contend
for their birthright, their homes and
their liberties, for they alone are sover
eigns. Religion can make no differ
ence to the citizen, and if he bends the
kuee to the trinity or makes confession
. every week to a ptiest, or worships
what he considers the higher ideal of
one supreme ruler of the uuiverse, it
cannot diminish in the least his love
- of home and country. It may be true
- that in post ages the Komisn' church
has attempted the most arbitrary rale
over its communicants, and invariably
united things temporal and things
spiritual; bnt there has been a remark
able change in this regard in all re
ligious denominations. There was
time in the histery' of Eagtand when
Episcopacy was a synonym for the
niAot nnifll nnnrHuinn vhpn Ittfthftn
Lind upheld King Jmes iu his butch
eries in the "bloody assizes" and when
even our own Puritan ancestors perse'
cuted innocent, peaceful Quakers in
Massachusetts and banged witches in
S ile in. These are black spots in the
history of Christianity, and if the
Catholic church were more vigilant in
these persecutions it was simply for
the reason that she had the power to
be so. Episcopalians, Presbyterians,
Puritans and Catholics hare, in the
past history of the world, created the
ocracies wherever the opportunity pre-,
sen ted; bnt the .evolution of human
freedom, the light of developed science
and toe advancement oi lnteuecttai
discernment have proved -that the
union of church and state has impaired
individual liberty, has chained hu
man reason and has been the corner
stones upon which has rested tbe most
diabolical tyrannies that have disgraced
history. . It has made th simple doc
trines of the despised Nazrene the
g word by which bigots have slaugh
tered thongands of. their fellow beings;
it has filled the world with heartburn
ings and bitter revenge; it has del
uged the fairest countries with tbe
blood of innocent victims, and made a
Christian's hatred more to be dreaded
than the barbarism of the savage.
The advancement of the world has
been mich, during the past century,
that union of church and state exists
nowhere now. E'en in Italy the af
fairs of the state are not dictated by
the Roman pontiff, and in Germany,
Trance and Russia they are widely
separated. la England there has
been no danger from this source Bince
the great Cromwell beheaded Charles
and his parliament passed the Bill of
Righto. In tbe United States it never
: bid a foothold, except in Puritanical
New England, and the least alarm in
this line would arouse every American
- to determined opposition.
The principle of the perpetual sev
erance of church and state is the cor
ner stone of human liberty; but the
alarm of the A. P. A. is unfounded.
- There is no Catholic citizen who would
uphold it, and if foreign priests,who are
not in sympathy with our institution?,
' should attempt to inaugurate it, there
would be determined opposition among
their own communicants. Eternal
vigilance in the price of liberty, but
there N no reason in being affrighted
at shadows that have no substantial
existence.
A MISTAKE
Judge Lord, the governor-elect of
Oregon, was interviewed in San Fran
cisco, and is reported to have said that
the way in which the subject of the
fiee coinage of silver wa handled in
the state p'atform was the reason of
Republican success last June. He is
quoted as saying further that "the
people of Oregon attribute the indus
trial difficulties, the decline in the
price of products and tbe depreciation
of property values to the deruonitiz-
tinn of silver, and they believe there
will be no return of prosperity until
silver is remouetiz-id and placed on an
equality with gold." This language.
coming as it does from, one who ha
been considered a circumspect, . con
scientious jurist, will be a surprise to
many, as the questions discussed dur
ing the last campaign are yet fresh in
the minds of the people, and they are
fully aware that the unlimited coinage
of silver was rarely touched npon by
public speakers and cut a small figure
in any political debate. The. Repub
lican- platform was almost an exact
copy of the national one of IS92 on
this issue, and every one knows thai
John Sherman and the uta'.esmen who
have shaped the financial policy of the
party have never been in faver of
fljodiog tbe country with a depreciated
currency. They placed the finances of
the nation on a very solid basin, and
by wise legislation have always man
eged to maintain an equality between
silver and gold as circulating me
diums.
there may be a sentiment in some
of the mining counties in favor of
more silver; but these did not give
large Republican majorities, and are
among the least populous districts in
the state. In Baker county almost
wholly dependent on mines, the Popu
list legislative ticket was elected, but
in Multnomah, where the largest
commercial interests are centered, and
where there are 188 free-silverites
than anywhere in the state, the Re
publican majority was the largest ever
known. In Wasco,-where the Re
publican ticket was elected throughout
by figures never before known, the
silver question was rarely touched on.
The same is true of Umatilla, where
a Democratic county was changed to"
a Reoublican one. and the ticket
r
elected by about 300 majority.
Judge Lord is mistaken, if Lis
lanuuace is reoorted correctly. It was
not free Bilver that caused the Repub
lican cyclone last June; but the de-
nresaion in business caused by the
shadow of free trade falling on Amer
ican industries and American products.
The sheep men of Wasco. Umatilla,
Crock and Graht spent time and
mouey in support of the R -publican
party, believing that every vote it re
ceived was one in favor of protection,
and if this policy were again in
augurated it would increase thp price
of their wool. There were no more
earnest workers for R-publican suc
cess in Eastern Oregon last Jnne
than farmers and producers They
firmly believed that protection to
American industries was a direct
financial benefit to them, and every
voter was hunted up and induced to go
to the polls. There are very few
mining counties in Oregon, and the
output of silver is inconsiderable.
These had little influence on the last
election or will have on any hereafter.
Oregon is interested in the development
of her natural wealth of products of
Hocks and of the soil, and these re
ceive the greater stimulus from the
doctrine of protection to American in
dustries than from Democratic free
trade that believes in opening wide
our gates to all foreign producers.
A VANISHING QHOST.
The Bjurbons of Louisiana are' sor
rowful, well-nigh to the point of
weeping, oer the obduracy of the re
volted planters pithily says an eastern
exchange.
"Let usrefer this matter to arbitra
tion of all the white voters, let us
eliminate the negro from politics, and
if a majority' of whites indorse Re
publican policy let us all vote Republi
can, if not let us all vote Democratic,
as we have been accustomed to do."
Thus pray tbe Bourbons to the newly
born Republicans. And upon refusal
of their proposition they bewail the
advent of "negro supremacy" and be
seech and implore that portion of the
white race that is least intelligent to
unite against that which is most pro
gressive.
But, sofil)! The Bourbons place
themselves on dangerous ground.
For this question arises Is negro
supremacy more to be dreaded when
it elevates Democrats to power than
when it elects Republican It it a
pertinent question just now. For it
is confessed by all that in Georgia and
in Alabama the Democratic candi
dates for governor have been rejected J
by the white voters. But it is claimed j
by Democrats that the solid vote of
the negroes in each of those states was
cast for the Democrats, and that by i
Democratic governors were elected.
Now if this is true, Georgia and
Alabama today are under negro su
premacy. They are administered by
Democratic officials, who are objection
able to the whites, and who are in of
fice as creatures of the. negro vote.
Our Bourbon friends in Louts:ana
should condole with the luckless whites
of Georgia and Alabama.
Besides, which, if it be true, as the
Democratic newspapers of tbe south
often assure us, that the drift of the
negro vote everywhere is toward De
mocracy, then the one. practical
method of rescuing Louisiana from the
danger of negro supremacy is by a
steadfast movement of all the whites
in cupport of the Republican candi
dates. Really and seriously, canno
journalists so able as those who con
duct the Picvyune, the Times Demo
crat, and the Daily States of New
Orleans discern that the ghost of ne
gro supaemacy has stalked as long as
it cant The cocks are crowing for
daylight. The ghost must vanish.
He no longer can cime alarm.
THE THUS SPIRIT.
The committee of prominent citi
zens of Portland who visited the jetty
at the mouth of the Columbia lass
week expressed themselves favorably
to Astoria as the proper seaport of
OregOD. Among these were . several
representative - business men of the
metropolis, and Mr. H. W. Scott, the
managing editor of . the Oregonian,
may be mentioned in the list. In the
published interview these men' ap
proved tbe development of the natural
resources of Astoria, and appeared to
be in- harmony with the growth of
other portions of the state. This is
the proper feeling to be manifested, as
tbo prosperity of the different rarts of
the Inland Empire insures the growth
of the metropolis. If this policy had
bben purjued years ago Oregon would
have a much larger population than
she now has, and Portland would have
nren more prosperous. Astoria ia the
natural seaport of the state, and . tbe
Columbia is the commercial outlet of
tbe northwest. As soon as these facts
are known, and there is unified action
to aocomplibh these ends this part of
the northwest will take a stride for
ward that has been anxiously desired
for many yeais. That harmony has
not existed heretofore is apparent to
any observer; but a desirable change
has taken place in this regard, and it
is to be expected that Oregon, with
her varied resources, will take the po
sition that nature designed she sbouid
occupy. One part of a great common
wealth cannot increase in wealch and
business to the detriment of the other
portions without eventually the policy
resulting irjurious to all. This fact
has become known, and the lesson
taught by practical experience in the
past will undoubtedly be beneficial in
the futur
HOME CONSUMPTION.
The "change" inaugurated in 1802
has been felt in other ways than the
depreciatioa cf wages and the re
duction of the price of home products
that come into competition with for
eign ones. In speaking of this sub
ject the Inter Ocean says that, while
the free trad?rs are tearing down the
protection defenses to let American
products out into the markets of the
world, as Mr. Wilscn puts it, tbe
treasury statistics show that they
have not only made it possible for the
English manufacturers to share oui
own market, but they have actually re
duced that market. The great staples
of the American agricultural products
are wheat and corn. More than 00
per cent of these products are con
sumed at home, but while the Demo
crats hive been legislating for the 10
per cent which goes abroad they have
reduce! the home consumption.
Tne per capita consumption of wheat
in this country, according to the
treasury statistics, was 5 91 bushels
in 1892, and 4 85 bushels in -1893.
Here is a decrease of 1.06 bushels in
one year; multiply the per capita de
crease by the population, 67,500,000,
and we have 71,550,000 less bushels
of wheat consumed by our own people
in the first year after the change from
tho Republican to a Democratic ad
ministration. . The per capita consumption of corn
in 1892 was 30.33 bushels, and in
1S93 23.CG bushels. The decrease is
C 57 bushels per capita, or 450.225,000
for the whole people. If we put a
value of 50. cents a bushel on the
wheat, and 45 cents on the corn, we
have 35.7775,000 worth of wheat
and $102,601,250 worth of corn taken
from the home market cf American
farmers by the lowering of wages in
accordance with the Democratic policy
of cheapness.
The farmers of America have lost
more than $228,000,000 from their
home market by the attempt to
cheapen the manufactured products of
this country. The same effect has
been felt in the two great staples im
ported into this country. The treasury
Btat'stics show that the per capital
consumption of sugar was 63.5 pounds
in 1892 and 63 4 in 1893. The re
duction was 1 pound per. capita, or
6,750.000 pounds valued at 337,500.
Tbe per capita consumption of conve
was 9.63 pound? in 1892 and 8 25
in ioij. ine reauciion was i.oo
. . mi , , flO
pounds per capita, or 93,150,000 for
the American people, .and this was
valued at $23,27,500. Taking the
two great domestic staples and the two
gre-t imported staples of America and
$263,901,250 worth of food product
was taken from our American con
sumption in one year after the free
traders secured control of the govern
ment. The statistics for 1894, when
compiled, will no doubt make as bad
f not worse, showing when compared
wiih 1892. There has been less work
a greater reduction in wages, and nec
essarily more economy in living.
Tbese treasury statistics furnished
by a Democratic administration are
proof that the Democratic tariff policy
tendsto cheapen the whole life of the
people. Followed to its legitimate
conclusion it mean the European
standard of living for wage-earners,
and there are so many men in this
country who know what the European
standard of living is that there is no
occasion to' discuss it.
Mr. Wi'-son told his London ad
mirers that tne democrats were
breaking down the protective defenses
in America to let them into this mar
ket. He did not tell them that in
doing that the Democrats were not
only taking the market from our own
producers, but were also decreasing
the market itfelf.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
About 40,000 of tba women of Col
orado have registered for the purpose
of voting at the coming election.
That does not look very much like a
failure to accept the suffrage when it
is placed within their reach.
It will not be necessary for Senator
Hill to resign his position to accept the
governorship of New York. His Re
publican opponent will be elected by
a large majority, and Tammany will
receive a severe rebuke from the
people of .the state.
Great vigor is being developed in
every state on political matters, and
Republicans have inaugurated a cam
paign for protection to American in-
dustrtfs. There will no doubt be a
hot fight on this line, but a sweeping
victory for Republicans is almost cer
tain.
Harper's Weekly, the Demo-Mug-ump
organ, has arrived at the con
clusion that of two evils confronting
it, Morton is the least. Of Hill it
say", "be is tne embodiment in His own
person of all the bad tendencies in
politics." Hill himself expresses it in
just four words "I am a Democrat."
In reference to the war between
China and Japan there are conflicting
reports in regard to the former desir
ing foreign intervention to stop hos
tilities. The celestial empire has been
hipped in every battle; but, with her
300,000,000 of subjects she should not
acknowledge defeat at this early date.
It seems that she lacks grit, and
quickly cries "enough" at the first re
verse. The Japanese are spunky, and I
uaugUMte war with 8 determinatioa
to be victorious, and they are gener
ally successful.
The China-Japan war is causing
some little interest among the govern
ments of Europe. There are matters
necessary to preserve the balance of
power which are being carefully
watched by wily diplomats. Russia
must preserve her Asiatic boundaries,
and England must guard her Indian
empire There cannot be war in any
part of the globe that tbese two pow
ers do not keep a jealous eye on each
other.
It is getting to be usual in southern
states that when a Democratic candi
date plainly is defeated by the white
vote he is reported as "saved by th
colored counties." It is so in Georgia.
Mr. Atkinson, candidate for governor,
Ml short by some 60,000 of the usual
Democratic vote in tbe white counties.
One ojiyh: think this would have in
jured his defeat. But no; the black
counties did nobly. They voted al
most solidly for the Democrat. That
is to say, they were counted almost
solidly for him.
The health of the czar of Russia is
the greatest concern of Europe, and
every symptom is noted with the
greatest interest. If he dies, it is ex
pected that his successor would "let
loose the days of war," and the peace
of Europe would be rudely disturbed.
The czar is a noble man, judged by
bis actions to his family his subjects
and tbe nations of Europe. Tbe
cruellies perpetrated upon tne
victims who have been sent to Siberia
have been by the decree of his minis
ters, and not at bis wish and dic
tation. The express robbery at The Dalles
last week has been the sensation of
the state for the past few days. De
tectives have been at work and the
developments are . not made public
and perhaps these may be very start
ling. The manner in which this was
accomplished was very improbable
and almost impossible; but the
occurrence happened and that is
sufficient. Who ere the per
petrators of the mischief are un
known, and those who escaped with
the specie still remains a mystery.
Whether tbey are ever brought to
justice or not the occurrence will be
something from which may be drawn
useful lessons.
China has come to the conclusion
that she will continue to war with Jap
an, and the latter country has just begun
to feel the importance of the contest.
Japan hag pioflted by the advance
ment of western civilization, and
China has not. As a result of this
tuition it has been fully de
monstrated that Japan is superior to
her opponent. the island empire
has been successful so far, and will
continue to be by the superiority of
her armament and the discipline of
her soldiers. If the war continues
China will be subject to Japan, and
the raedaeval civilization of the Alon
golians will be blotted frem the -ma
of Asia.
The supreme court has rendered
decision in the Eistern Oregon branch
asylum case, and the injunction has
been disolved on some technicality
It ia much to be regretted that th
constitutional-question of the validity
of the location of a public institution
outside of the capital city, or "seat of
government, has not been reached in
either the case of the soldiers horn
at Roseburg or the branch asylum at
Union, and this may cause consider
able future annoyance. If a fair con
struction of tbe constitution of tbe
state of Oregon gives Salem a mouop
oly of all institutions, and consequent
ly tbe benefit of nearly all appropria
tion of public money, it is time that
tbe organic laws of this commonwealth
were amended or tbe capital removed
to some more convenient point.

London. Oct. 18 The Daily Newt w;ll
publish tomorrow this send-official state,
meat : A day or two after tbe cabinet
council, China informed Great Britain
that she was prepared to negotiate for
peace ou certain terms. Great Britain
made overtures to tbe powers on a new
basis, and asked Japan whether tbe terms
suggested by China could form tbe basis
ot uew negotiations for peace. Japan
oia not reply oenniiely, out bas Dot re
jected the proposals. The mnjority of
the poweni are in accord with Great
Britain, and there is a likelihood that
others will assent. The intervention is
purely diplomatic, and is offered to both
combatant in the friendliest spirit.
A Tien-Tain correspondent says China
desires peace, because, though aware of
ber immense reserves of strength, she
would willingly avoid tbe sacrifices, risk
and expense of bringing tbem into action.
She will, however, face a long war
resolutely, aod will rally such forces as
will render a Japanese conquest impossi
ble, though the effort may exhaust both
sides.
