PARTY FEALTY.
It is a question of great pertinence
at present whether Mr. Cleveland u
acting honorable in not lending sonu
aid to the Democratic party in the
content in New York. It could not
' be expected that the executive woulu
enter the canvass as a stamp orator,
and travel from one town to another
baranging audiences in , favor of
Democratic principles; . but with per
fect propriety he could endorse the
" nomination of Mr. Hill for governor
by a letter to the prominent leaders,
y He has not even done this; but by
his continued silence has made em
phatic bia disapproval of the action of
J the New York state convention.
, This is not conformable, in the mind
of many, to that high sense of politi
cal fealty which one owes to the party
of his choice, more especially if he has
received favors from those of the same
political predilections as himself.
Such is the the view Democratic
.; organs take of the . peculiar situation
that confronts Democracy in the em-
' pire state. In speaking on this sub
ject the Evening Telegram of Portland
has the following editorial remarks:
"From a strictly Democratic stand
point there is no difference of opinion
among Democrats and Republicans
that be is acting dishonorably. I
. many respects Mr. Cleveland is a great
man, bat it is apparent that he is
' utterly lacking in some of the moral
- senses. The sense of party obligation
is a very high qualification in a man
of his station, yet he does not seem to
have the least conception of its mean-
. ing. Nor does personal gratitude
enter into his composition. If he had
these qualities he could not stand aloof
in this crisis of his party's history,
It may be, however, that he has the
conceited idea that he knows better
than his party what is good for the
country, and that it is his duty to
make a bulwark of himself against the
dautrer of Democratic victory. If
such be his motive we can better ap
preciate his present attitude, yet if be
had a refined sense of personal and
party obligation he would surrender
- back into the hands of the Democracy
the office they gave him rather than
play the traitor."
.. In this . connection it must be
recollected that : Mr. .Cleveland was
' elevated first into the executive chair
for - his independence of party - by
mugwump votes. He -would never
have been elected ifi 1 888 if he had
been a strong partisan, and daring the
- two terms he has served - he has acted
independent of his party in many in
stances. He has never endorsed the
methods pursued by Tammany, and
although he made a partial compromise
with the members of that political ring
in 1882, it was only done to carry
New York, which was necessary for
his olection. Now he expects noth
ing more from his party, and he can
act independent of the machine.
Without considering any particular
case the principle of party domination
is despotic, and very humilating to a
free man. A political organization
should be endorsed only so far as it
agrees with the honest opinions of
citizens within its ranks, and when it
attempts antociati: dictation of the
elective franchise it becomes a tyrant
that must be deposed.
Birmingham and Manchester may
have more continuous labor. This is
what Democracy has done, so far as it
has been able, and which it desires to
make universal and continuous.

CANADIAN PRODUCTS.
The Peterborough Review is pub
lished in Canada, and the following
from its editorial columns shows that
Democratic free-trade is even . benefi
cial to that country. ,
."Values in hay at present are little
- more than steady and receiuts of hav
at leading points is reported much
more than ample. The change in the
' American tariff has not effected Cana
dian shipments much as yet, it being
cjaimed that prices on the other side
are too low to allow profitable ship
ments. The record of Canada's export trade
in hay is interesting. The American
t ? i I 1 T .
snipments snow a decrease. jat
year oar foreign trade in hay was
nearly .double that of the year previous
and was a big increase over any recent
year. For the twelve months closing
. June 30 our exports'were 276,858 tons,
valued at $2,601,704, compared with
foreign shipments of 151, 8S1 tons the
preceeding year worth $1,452,872,
The destination and valuation of the
exports from Canada for a sseries of
years follow:"
After this is published a long list
of the values of the exported article to
foreign countries, showing that the
United States is the largest consumer
of Canadian hay. In the year 1892
the value of the export trade was
$598,567, bat in 1893 it increased to
354,953, and it must be presumed
that the passage of the Wilson bill
stimulated business in this line. To
show that the United States is the
heaviest buyer of this Canadian ex
port, in the year 1893 just mentioned,
the United States received $854,958
worth of hay from Canada, while
Great Britain and all other countries
are only credited with $547,913.
But hay is only aa inconsiderable
product of the dominion that is bene
fited by the Democratic party throw
ing wide open the commercial gates.
There are others of greater value that
have been eagerly watching for an op
portunity to seek American markets
and compete with local productions.
And this is one of the objects to b
accomplished by free trade. It makes
markets open to all the world, and our
own citizens must shift for themselves.
Oar workshops cannot pay any higher
wages than those of Europe, and our
citizens must live as cheaply as people
-do in ether countries. We must be
unselfish, and make sacrifices for the
benefit of others. Stop work and
4rve so that the faotory hands in
The Republican party never had a
more powerful debater than Major
McKinle, or one who possessed
greater influence with the masses. He
is a consistent protectionist, and never
misses an opportunity to spread the
doctrines. During the fall campaign
he has done noble service for the
party, and has spoken in different
states.
In speaking of the speech of Gov
McKinley in Chicago the Inter Ocean
makes the following comments in its
issue of October 30th:
The peculiarity of the McKinley
meeting last night was not its magni
tude, though that was majestic; nor
the logic of the address, though that
was inexorable; nor the enthusiasm
of the people, though that was intense.
It was as Governor McKinley himself
said, the most responsive audience im
aginable. Scarcely a point made by
the orator, and his speech bristled
with points, failed to bring a question
or a suggestion from some part of the
house.
For example, when the governor
said that Vice-President Stevenson
had boasted in New York that this
Democratic administration had reduced
national expenditures by $28,000,000
ome one demanded to known bow
much of the reduction was in the
pension department. . "Twenty-seven
of the twenty-eight millions," answered
the governor. "Mr. Stevenson does
not say so, but I do, and I have the
figures to prove my say so."
. While this efflux and reflux of senti
ment between orator and hearer may
have marred the continuity of the ar
gumentagainst Democracy, they added
greatly to the depth of the impression
produced.
Speaking on tarriff issues, the gov
ernor was especially strong in his plea
for a vote that will send a Republicpn
majority to the next house of repre
sentatives. Taking up the Democratic
averment that nothing is more danger
ous to trade tbau an unsettled con
dition of fiscal legislation, he quoted
Mills, Wilson, Crisp, . Bynura, and
Cleveland in proof of the intent of
the Democrats to further meddle with
the tariff if they gain a majority in the
next congress. The only guaranty of
two years of freedom from tariff tink
ering is in the election of a Republican
majority. to the house. In this case
the senate and the president will pre
vent .Republican eliorts toward a
a greater measure of protection, while
the Republican house will prevent
Democratic efforts toward a greater
measure of free trade. .Between a
Democratic senate and president and
Republican bouse the queer thing
known as the Wilson bill will have
two years in which to vindicate itself
or to more fully merit absolute repeal.
With a Democratic majority in each
house of congress the work of tariff
agitation will continue and the resto
ration of commercial confidence be de
layed.
The country is ready, as we believe,
to reverse the judgment of 1892, and
if it does none of the many advocates
of protection will be regarded as hav.
ing done better service than the
Governor of Ohio.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The political campaign in the east
is being fought on protection and free
trade issues, and Republicans are an
vocating their doctrines with a vehe
meance which is induced by the pres
ent distress and want among the la
boring classes. On every hand there
are practical lessons of the effects of
the inauguration of free trade and the
country connot return too soon to
the former conditions to suit the peo
ple. Public interest is. divided between
the condition of the czar and the
war between China and Japan. The
news from the sick men indicates that
death will have no easily won victory
if he is successful in removing this
great potentate to the ranks of the
silent majority; but Japan, apparently
with the greatest ease, whips the
Chinese in every battle. Death and
Japan, without dcubt, will be conquer-'
ers in both cases.
Whole cities have been devastated
in Argentine republic by earthquakes,
and thousands havo been killed and a
larger number rendered homeless.
This is one of the afflictions that conld
not have been guarded against, and
must be borne with that degree of for
titude indicative of a brave pnople.
In such cases aid may be extended to
the sufferers; but this will not restore
to life loved ones and friends or re
place homes with the former happy
surroundings.
There is a movement in English
politics which augurs no good to the
house of lords or the privileged classes.
It wo-ld have been better for the peers
if they had taken no decisive action
on the last measure submitted to them,
aDd had waited for a more favorable
opportunity for the exercise of their
power. The British people are slow
to inaugurate reforms; but any move
ment once started never retrogrades.
The house of lords must go, and this
is only a question of time.
Great interest centers in New York
in the coming contest, because Tarn
many Democracy is attempting to
carry the state, notwithstanding the
opposition of the Republican party
and an opposing factor in their own
ranks. There is hardly a possibility
that the Democrats will be successful,
but the party of protection desires to
sesure a sweeping victory all along the
line, and New York is expected to
give an increased Republican majority
the same as Mtssachusetts and other
states. .
HON A ROB ISM.
The formation of the new ministry
in Germany will have little effect upon
the policy of that government. Where
the emperor has the power to dissolve
the law- making power if it will not
enact legislation he desires a premier
has little force in changing the nation-
policy. There can be no doubt
that Emperor William has .the welfare
of the empire at heart, and that no
man has a greater love for faderland;
but he firmly believes in the supremacy
of the military, aud that the people
should occupy the position of children,
over whom he must take paternal care,
without paying the least attention to
individual fredom. To God alone, he
iys, be is responsible, and this forms
the basis of the old maediaeval doc
trine of the "divine right of kings."
On this side ef the Atlantic the idea
never prevailed to any gmat extent
aud must be considered to have been
bliterated since the abdication of Don
Pedro in Brazil. The theory of eov-
ernment is one of devolcpment, and
grent progress has been made in this
line during the past two centuries,
The revolution in France has ef
fectually cleared the political atmos
phere of that country of the mists of
superstition, and the growth of de
mocracy in England has rid the throne
of its power and r early undermined
the house of lords. That kings and
queens are ordained to rule by
uou is as oosoieie as tne in
quisition or the ridiculous tests for
witchcraft that were in vogue three
centuries ago. Such a belief prevails
nowhere except in a benighted and
despotic country, and the trend of the
age is towards the rule of the people.
The destiny of the human race is
towards free government, and not a
year passes that giant strides are not
made in this direction. Mind is be'
coming free from Us shackles, and is
constantly tearing down and complete
ly shattering idols that wore respected
and venerated a century ago. The
monarchs of Europe do not stand on
as substantial bases as they formerly
did, and eventually they must totter
and fall under the attack of enlight
ened thought
The election next Tuesday will be a
very, important one, as the people at
the ballot box will render a verdict on
the Wilson bill and the Democratic
administration of national affairs
There has been no campaign for years
in waicti there bas been such a full
d senssion oi the tariff qaestior, and
the decision will be final.
There is a long list of United States
senators and congressmen who were
active in tariff reform and helped
Havemeyer & Co. wonderfully, but
they are nearly all resting from their
great work, and are not even invited
into the close districts and State cam
paigns. It is a notable snub. Where
are Cockran and Crisp and Gorman
and Brice and Vest and Voorhees aud
a score of other?? All resting, while
McKinley and Reed and Sherman
and Harrison and others are in de
mand everywhere.
We are glad to note the fact of a
movement on foot to inaugurate one
or more manufacturing industries at
The Dalles, and there is no point in
the northwest better situated to make
them successful.' We have water
power equal to any on the continent,
aud in a few years this city will have
direct water communication with the
markets of the world. The country
tributary to this point is prolific in all
natural productions, and with the on
usual commercial advantages there is
no reason that this city, at the gate
way ot the great Inland Umpire,
should be .not the second in population
and importance in the state.
Germany bas extended her war on
American products, and now the Texas
steer is forbidden the empire the same
as the Ciccinnati hog. . It is presumed
that this last prohibition is because of
the discriminating schedule against
sugar in the Wilson bill, although the
German ambassador assures the secre
tary of state that the measure of ex
elusion was inspired solely for sanitary
reasons and was not retaliatory,
Whether this is true or not makes
little difference to the American ex
porter of cattle, and if he cannot sell
them to the Germans he must look
elsewhere. There are no better trad
ers in the world than the citizens of
this republic, and they generally secure
very advantageous bargains.
There is a crisis in the German
empire, and both the chancellor and
prime minister have resigned. What
effect this will have on German poli
tics is not known; but it was caused,
it is presumed, by the young emperor
forcing the premier to adopt a very
severe policy against socialists and
anarchists, which brought him into
collision with the federal ministers.
However substantial the friends of
the German empire may imagine its
foundatioii8 to be there is a : demo
cratic influence at work which is con
stantly undermining the solid supports.
The empire is maintained by well
drilled soldiers and Kiupp guns; but
these, even are not all powerful against
the determined will of an intelligent
people. j ' ,
President Cleveland bas not taken
a very great interest in' the campaign
now being fought in New York,
and as a Democrat he should ex
press earnest wishes for the success of
the ticket. As D. B. Hill is the can
didate for governor, and the principal
speaker in the canvass so far, this ap-
patby on the part of Mr. Cleveland
may be construed to be actuated by
personal indifference on his part. He
and the New York senator have not
been on very agreeable terms for some
yeais, and the last session of congress
did not have any harmonizing effect on
either of these men. From a Demo
cratic stand point this, perhaps, is to be
regretted; Dut it illustrates the bitter
ness of the antagonism between the
different factions in the party, and
may add to the Republican majority
next month. Democracy is handi
capped in several ways in this cam
paign, and not the least obstacle it has
to overcome is the lack of barmony
within its own ranks. ,
The arrest of the express robbers
Saturday evening, it is to be hoped,
will break up a gang of robbers who
have committed depredations in this
city for a number of years past, and
that our people will feel more secure
in their persons and tbeir property.
That men so young should have the
cleverness to mature such schemes, and
carry them almost to success, is no
matter of surprise when the fact is
known that cheap literature ' of the
most sensational kind is the only
brain food that is furnished very many
boys during tne formative periods of
their characters. The time in life
when children should be taught habits
of industry and honest traits of char
acter, is epont around the po'ice ceurt
or reading five-cent novels, "Just as
the twig is bent the tree is inclined" is
as true of the human species as it is
of the vegetable kingdom. If boys
were taught the dignity of labor by
practical experience, and debarred from
trashy reading matter, they would de
velop into better, more stalwart men
in every regard.
The problem, what to do with our
convicts, is one that for half a century
has vexed the souls of all interested in
prison matters, says the Salem States
man. The question is frequently
asked, what to do with our convicts?
They must be compelled to work at
something, but when their labor is di
rectly or indirectly in competition with
that of free men there comes a great
outcry from the labor organizations.
Oregon's convicts are all now practical
ly idle, as they have been for two years
past and the legislature, soon to meet,
will be confronted with the vexed ques
tion. It is the question that has vexed
legislatures time and again in the past
not only in this state but in every state;
in the Union, and in most of them it
remains a serious problem to this day.
What will the legislature do this win
ter to afford employment for Oregon's
four hundred? Will it provide a beet
sugar factory?
Alexander III, czar of Russia, died
this aftecnoon at 3 o'clock of a com
plication of diseases, from which he
has suffered for several weeks. He
was born March 10, 1845, and was
proclaimed emperor March 13, 1881,
the day after his father was assassi
nated. Possessed of many virtues as a
man and commendable qualities as a
rider, his reign has been very prosper
ous, and if the dream of his Romanoff
ancestors of securing a commercial
outlet on the Mediterranean has not
been realized, Russia is much stronger
in every way than when ' the crown
fell to him from the hands of his mur
dered father. Oyer his death Nihi
lists will r. joice that another of the
hatedfaraily has been consigned to the
grave; but the peasantry of Russia
will mourn for him as fur their father,
and the nations of Europe will trem
ble with fear lest the young man upon
whom devolves the weighty responsi
bilities of empire, may, by not follow,
ing the example of his conservative
father, blow the embers of war
that have beea smoldering so long
into mad and destructive flames.

la a Fire-Trap.
New York, Oct. 80 Seven people
were smothered to death by smoke in a
tenementlioure fire at 21 West Tbirty
second street this morning. Tbey were
Georga Freidman, 4 years; Levi Freid
man, 3; Annie Applcblat, 22; Lena
Mitchell, 24: Mrs. Margaret Killiao, 70;
Jacob Kilhan, her sou, 40; George Levi,
Mrs. Williams' grandson, 20. Lena
Friedman, mother of the dead children,
jumped from a third story window. She
was fatally injured. Tbe house is a five
story brick tenement. There were seven
families, and tbe only means of escape
was by a narrow stairway. The fire was
discovered at 3 o'clock: by pasers-by.
There was not a sign of life. To enter
the house meant death. Tbe only hope
for those willnn was arousing them by
shouts. In a few minutes there was not
a window in front of the house that did
not contain the wild and frightened face
ot a man, woman or child, framed in
smoke, v hicb poured- forth in volumes.
By the fire escapes 20 tenants reached
the ground, descending in tbe midst ol
flame and smoke, before the ladder
trucks arrived. On tbe third story the
flames spread over the entire rear portion
There lived Nathan Friedman, h s wile
Lena, three young children, and two
boarders, Annie Applebiat and Leo
Mitchell. Nathan Freidmau was aroused
by the smoke and noise. Clutching tbe
oaby in his arms, he sprang to tbe win
dow and descended by tbe fire escape,
Mrs. Friedman, too, bad rushed to a win
dow, but not where the fire escape was
Sue leaped from tbe window and fell into
the rear basement rea. The Friedman
children and tbe two boarders slept in an
inner apartment. Tbe fire had not
reached them, but the smoke filled the
room. George and Levi Freidman, aud
Lena Mitchell were still lu bed when
louBd, and the pcacelul expression of
tbeir faces showed they bad no knowledge
of the death that came to them to sud-

War Slews Confirmed.
Washington, Oct. 30 Minister Den
by, in a cable to tbe stute department
from Peking ' today, says tbe Chinese
forces have boen defeated at Cbien-Lien-C'beng
and have retreated to tbe moun
tains. Also, he reports tbe Japanese have
taken one of the Chinese forts at Port
Arthur. The scene of tbe first engage
ment is just across tbe Yalu river, in
Manchuria, and it marks the first real
aggressive movement by the Japanese on
Cuinese soil. The Japanese arc supposed
to haye formally entered upon tbe cam
paigu with Monkden, tbe Manchuriao
capital, as the objective point. Ualees
tbey are fully prepared to make a winter
campaign, something heretofore unknown
in eastern warfare, tbey will be obliged
to force the fighting, as only 15 days re
main before the cold weatber comes. In
tbe neighborhood of Port Arfbur, wbereJ
tbe second Japanese success is reported,
the winter climate is not so severe, and
oderatioos may be maintained until much
later. Experts in Washingten believe
Port Arthur cannot be reduced by the
Japanese wltbout the use of heavy siege
artillery, and so far as reported tbe Japa
nese are not supplied with this. Ioas
much as tbe capture ot Port Arthur
would give the Japanese control of the
gulf of Pe-Chi-Li, and cut off the Chinese
capital from communication with tbe sea,
it is thought tbe Japanese will make a
most determined effort' to capture tbe
fortress. Tbe belief that they are pre
pared to do tbis, even if it involves a long
siege, and a winter campaign, is borne
out by the fact that agents of the Jaoa
nese government in tbis country have
bought up a vast store of goat skins aud
practically cornered tbe market. Tbe
skins are commonly used in Cbina and
Japan as a necessary part of tbe soldiers'
winter raiment.

Charles Beck, "heading a posse of 21 Cher
okee Indian police, made a most impor
tant capture in arresting tbe following
men: John Joe, Moses Pierce, Dick Rey
noldp, Jim Bates and Liu Perry, It is
alleged they harbored if not assisted the
Cook and Gordon gang. Lou Perry, who
was wantod for horse stealing, was dis
covered five m'les east of Wagoner this
morning about tbe break ot day. On ob
serving the posse be made baste to get
out of tbe way on horseback. A run of
13 miles was made,- Perry pulling up
at Moses frice's place, 11 miles from
Wagoner. At Price's bouse were found
Jobn Joe, Jim Bites, Moses Price and
Dick Reynolds. All were arrested for
harboring criminals, and it is alleged that
three of the Cook gang ate dinner at Rey
n olds' house yesterday. . Tbe importance
of tbis capture can better be realized
when it iB considered that if the outlaws
bed no outside assistance, it wou!d only
require a few days to capture them. Bill
Cook, Skeeter and Cherokee Bill were in
Okmulgse Thursday and were inter
viewed by a Fort Smith deputy marshal
and a citizen ot Okmulgee who were well
acquainted with the outlaws. Tbe depu

nortb of here, at 1 o'clock tbis morning.
Three persons were killed, and a large
number injurei. The train was a
through one from New York, due at
Buffalo at 7:10 this morning.
Tbe accident was the resu't of the
express train plunging into a coul train.
The engine was backing down the south
bound track, and owing to an open
switch, passed on to the north-bound
track just as the fast train came along.
Engineer James Linett and Fireman El
mer Seull of the coal engine, were killed.
Fireman William C Hozey, of the express
train, was instantly killed. Engineer
Butler crawled out from beneath the
wreck of the two engines with scarcely a
bruise, and escaped the scalding steam,
which parboiled the other victims. The
nassengeis only suffered from tbe shaking
up.

tbe steamer went aground. Attempts
were made to lower some of the boats,
but several ol these were either smashed
by being thrown against tbe side of the
