A POLITICAL CONSCIENCE .
The revolt against Tammany is not
of recent growth, but has been in ac
tive' operation for long years. As
representative of corrupt ring rale this
band of New York politicians are the
best examples knewn in the history of
the country. They have not only
controlled conventions and nominated
the candidates they desired, bat secured
their election at the polls. - Fifteen or
twenty men, in a republic of many
million people, to have concentrated in
in themselves almost unlimited politi
al power is dangerous to the per
petuity of free institutions and the
purity of the ballot box. The political
. sins of omission and of commission that
were traced directly to Tammany Ailed
a long list, and were of a very flagrant
kind. Its influence begins to be felt in
all parts of the republic, and New York
became the center of a ring that was
as autocratic in its sway as the czar of
Russia. Nothing, could withstand its
' power, and politics became a ayn
onymn for' corruption and rottenness.
This machine rule lasted for many
years, until the public became aroused
and demanded that politicians exercise
honesty and integrity. After
the citizens became aware
of the facts the methods of
Tammany suffered defeat in almost
every state, and with them went down
those who . advocated . the corrupt
principles. Bat the victory over cor-
ruption was not lasting, and almost at
' every election a giant effort was made
by corrupt politicians to regain their
lost power. In 1892 these elements
were successful in New York, and the
Democratio party came into
through the machinations of
many.
power
Tam-
The last two years has been remark
able for the awakening of the public
to . the importance of demanding an
active conscience in political affairs,
' and in no part of . the union was this
more pronounced than in New York
city. Political and moral influences
were brought to bear against corrupt
lion, and at the polls on November
6th Tammany suffered the most crush
ing defeat in its history, and which
we hope will be lasting. Dr. Park-
. hurst made the following remarks re
. garding the result in a recent speech:
"New York city is free today because
men of all parties agreed to exclude
politics from the concerted campaign
against Tammany Hal), and any tricky
manipulator or political expert, of
whatever complexion, who undertakes
at this date to train victory upon po
litical lines, to limit it by political
ambitions, and to'prostitute it to po
litical ends is an execrable traitor to
our municipal interests."
It is true that the depression felt
during the past two years had its effect
on the election on November 6th of
this
year;
but it is also a fact that
there has been a marked advancement
' made in the demand for purer poli
tics, and for the exercise of a public
conscience in the administration of
state and municipal affairs. This is
widespread all over the land, and party
lines will be broken down when refor
mations are needed. The results of
this year are simply premonitory; of
what may happen any time in Ehe
future. It is an imperative demand
for a public conscience, which has been I
almost completely lacking heretofore.
Politicians and oolitieal nartiea- mnut
be honest, and they must not bring I
into operation any questionable 1 situation in a way to make it impossi
methoda to secure success. This is the We for tho Turks to carry on their
verdict of the American people, and I
heed must be given to the admonition.
CAPTAIN KOLB'S MANIFESTO:
The manifesto of Captain Reuben
F. Kolb, issued at Birmingham Mon
day, and declaring that as ha has been
elected governor of Alabama, he will
on Dec. 1 take the oath of office and
beoocue the executive in defiance of
. the legislature, which has counted in
William 0. Oates, indicates a very
asnoua condition in that state. ' It is
-not easy to understand sicb a situa
tion in the north, where elections are
generally fair and all differences are
settled by the ballot. But thia has,
unfortunately, not been the case in I
Alabama for some years. Not by vot
ing, but by counting, have election
contests been settled in the south, es
pecially in Alabama. Captain Kolb
claimed an election two years ago as
governor. He made out an excellent!
case,' but the regular Democracy paid
no attention to him. It had the ma-
chinery of election and it declared
Governor Jones re-elected.
At the convention of Kolb's follow
ers' this year they declared that if tbey
had the proof of victory they would
take possession oy lorce. - .nolo a man
ifesto indicates that they will try to
carry out their threat.' And since it
is admitted that he had a majority of
the white voters, if these are all true
to their leader, they can make serious
trouble at Montgomery on the day for
the inauguration.
They are not without a precedent.
It is just twenty years since the Dera-
ocrata recaptured Alabama by over- I
throwing what they were pleased to
call the carget-bag government. I
At that time the Democratic com- I
mittee sent out notices to all white I
Democrats to meet in Montgomery on I
the day for the meeting of the legis- I
lature. ' They went from every part I
of the state, and they were armed
There was bo fighting, but these
armed men, ready to start a bloody
revolution . if necessary to carry out
their purposes, overawed the Republi
cans, and they had their way. They
justified this action because they
claimed that the white men were en
titled to rule. '
Captain Kolb is following a Demo-
ratio precedent; Ho claims that a '
majority of the white men of the State
are with him. He claims that ha was
elected, and declares by "the grace of
God and the help of the people of
Alabama he will he governor." Gov
ernor Jones threatens to arrest Kolb
for treason, but all may depend apon
the lovalty of Captain Kolb's follow
ing. If thy un- ready to fight for
their rights hiutory may repeat itself
and the Jeffersonians take possession
of Alabama's state government, as did
the Democrat twenty years ago.
TEE ARMENIANS.
If the reported slaughter of Arme
nians is even exaggeratedly true th
failure of Ghristain powers to inter
vene for the redress and protection of
that people will be a cowardly infamy,
to the lasting disgrace of so called
civilized nations says the Inter Ocean.
The Armenians are the oldest branch
of the fcjistern Ubnstain churcb sep
arate from the Greek or Roman Cain
olio church, and the crimes that sub
ject them to the oetrageous oppression
of the barbarous and pagan nations
surrounding them are, first, their
Christianity, and, second, their desire
to be an independent, self-rnlinz na
tion. If in order to secure themselves
in the practice of their own religion.
and to establish themselves as an an
tonomy, tbev have resorted to devices
and expedients to excite the sympathy
and gain the support of the svpreme
European powers, they have been
driven to such courses by the implaca
ble persecutions that have been unre
mitting since the earliest incursions of
I conquest made against them by Per-
I sians, Kurds and. Turks, interested in
I their despoliation and extinction.
I The aggressive hostility of the Turks
I is easily accounted for in the natural
desire of that people to beat back
l -
from their very door, as it were, a re
ligion so inimical to their own; but
there can be little in the practical or
geographical relations of these two na
tions to justify in the remotest way
the murderous authority that a too
indulgent treaty between the powers
has invested in the Turk.
'. Nothing the Armenians have don
or can do in the way of political or
religious agitation affords a' warrant
for their overwhelming invasion and
hideous massacre' by the fanatical
fiends and savages that have in the
last few weeks committed atrocities
in the mere knowledge . of. which the
civilised world stands aghast. Ha
manity and the common respect of the
rights of the weak demand tiie inter
vention of European or other powers
to control the action of the Turks, ir
respective of those questions of politi
cal precedence or supremacy, the con
sideration of which in this moral crisis
is a shame to civilization.
It was possible to secure to the
Bulgarians a degree of security against
their Turkish enemies without imper
iling the peace of Europe, and a simi
lar service should . be now performed
in benalt or tne Armenians, it is
preferable a hundred times ' that th
.forte be abolished as a power, com
pletely knocked out of sovereign treaty
relations, than that it be permitted to
butcher at will a Christian nation on
the untenable plea that it is instigating
political rebellions tint at worst are
only aimed at the recovery of an in
dependence that was lost through the
invasions of wild tribes and a vicious
nation, incomparably, inferior to the
Armenians in intelligence and skill of
government.
Tne western world should be enough
interested in this affair to act in con-
cert t0 tus adjustment of the political
old-time persecution of a people that
y principle of humanity, i
ligion and political equity are entitled
to protection from the Christian world
against a barbarian warfare that aims
to degrade into hnlplees servitude and
miserable dependence a nation detested
for its adherence to Caristianity. It
is a scandalous reproach to modern
civilization that a Christian people
should be at the' mercy of a power
like that of Turkey, while other pow
era . hold off through fear of political
censeqnences that, firmly dared, would
prove to be no more than vapor. '
THE LOCKS.
Ever since the subject' has been
agitated in this city we have not en
tertained the least doubt that the con'
tract was let for the v-ompletion of the
locks at the Cascades, and that a full
appropriation was made therefor.
From the dispatch announcing the pas-
sage of (he bill, and from frequent con-
versations had ; with Senator Dolpb
since tne contract system has been
aiopted, we were fully convinced that
a contract, perfect in all its parts, ex
isted between the government and the
Day Bros. People became tired of the
dilatory manner in which the work
had" been prosecuted since the first ap
propriation had been made, and de
manded a change. On different occa
sions the Times-Mouxtainebe advo
cated the contract system, .until our
delegation in congress were successful
in securing the passage of a bill with
that object in view. It has been about
two years since Day Bros, received the
contract, and, while they have done
considerable work and made a good
showing, it seems improbable that they
can complete the canal by the begin-
ing of June, the time mentioned in the
contract. An extension of time will
be asked from the general government,
and this was the principal object of
the excursion to the Locks last Satur-
day. It must, be admitted that the
flood of last J one caused considerable
damage to the walls at the lower end
of the locks, and this waa an emer
gency that the contractors could not
guard against. This is a good reason,
appaiently, for the contractors not to
be held strictly to the wording of tbe
provisions of their agreement; but a
note of warning here. If tbe time is
extended for another year, at tbe next
session of congress, this must not be a
precedent for any further extensions
in the future. The people of the In
land Empire are sincere in their de
sire for an open river, and are jealous
of any effort which may cause the least
delay. Since the excursion last Satur
day, and the question of an extension
of time has been discussed, there are
already mutterings about "railroad
influence," "corporation control," etc
Oar people are very anxious about
the completion of the locks at the
Cascades, and have waited so long to
see their hopes realized that they have
become petulant and irritable on the
subject. On the question of govern
ment improvements they are pessi
mists, and have almost lost all faith
in any promises that have been made.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The young czar of Russia is dis
playing considerable activity in the
management of the affairs of the em
pire, anil if he bends his energies in
the right direction, there may yet be
hope for a liberal government for
Russia,
The Trans-Mississippi congress, now
in session in St. Louis, Mo., will un
undoubtedly resolve itself into a free
coinage convention, and in this it will
not be endorsed by any considerable
portion of the people, east or west.
In the financial world certain laws are
inflexible, and one of these is that no
single nation can change the monetary
standard of the world.
The State of Alabama seems to be
going backward in civilization. A bill
has been introduced into the legisla
ture to restore the If ase system for
convicts of the penitentiary. The
abuses nnder the lease system have
disgraced every state that has adopted
it. The wilds of Russian Siberia have
horrors no more repulsive than have
been shown in connection with the
convict lease system. The good people
of Alabama should Bee to it that it is
not again fastened upon them under a
plea of economy.
The Oregonian publishes a report
today that Major McNeil, of the O, R.
&, N. Co., was desirous of purchasing
the boats of the D. P. fe A. N. Co.

would be made that the same freight
rates as are now in operation shall re

and Portland, but also between
intermediate points and that the rail
roads shops be removed from Albina

- Port Arthur, China's great strong'
hold which had been fortified at great
expense, fell into the hands of the
Japanese yesterday, after a stubborn
resistance on the part of the Chinese
garrison. , This is a crowning victory
for Japan, and if China were solicitous
for peace before this event she is now
at the meicy.of victorous Japan,
The island empire has only a popul
tion of 40.000.000 white China's
hordes are estimated at nearly 400,'
000,000; but her army is poorly dis
ciplined, and they lack the courage and
endurance of Japanese troops. This
campaign between Japan and China
has been a remarkable one, for in every
engagement Japan has been successful.
For long years the little empire has
adopted the advanced methods
western civilization, and has used the
most strenuous efforts to construct a
navy and equip an army which should
be second to none. The results of the
war so far has proved that she has
been very successful in her efforts.
The rumor that Japan has been cast'
ing longing eyes upon the Hawaiian
islands, with the intention of finally
extending its grasp to include them in
its kingdom is without foundation,
probably. Commenting upon the ru
nior the San Francisco Chronicle re
marks: "There is no question of the
great ambition of Japan to play
prominent part in the affairs of the
Orient and the Pacific islands, but it in
absurd to sav that had the present war
not broken out Japan would have at
tempted to sieze Hawaii. At one timp.
when Japan was talking loudly about
the rights of her people in Hawaii, it
looked as though there might be
trouble, but since then no one has put
any faith in the rumors ef Japanese
designs on the republic. So long as
any war vessel of other powers was in
Honolulu harbor it would be an lm
possibility for Japan to land troops or
to threaten the Dole government with
bombardment. If safe from such pro
cedure Dole would be fully able to
maintain his powers against any force
that the Japanese could bring from
tbe other island.

San Francisco. Nov. 27 The steamer
Oceanic arrived tbis morning from Yoko
bama via Honolulu . Tbe Oceanic brings
no later Asiatic news than was received
on tbe Empreu of China, wbicb atrived
at Victoria November 20tb. At Houo
luiu there is stilf considerable excitement
over tbe receDt revolutionary plot.
Leaders of tbe royalist faction were still
declaring trouble was sure to occur soon
alter tbe sailing of tbe Oceanic. Govern
ment officials, however, declared no trou
ble need be feared. Tbe conspiracy, the;
said, though it did not at any time
threaten sellout trouble for tbe govern
ment, had been completely frustrated.
At exposed in tbe Honolulu newspapers,
tbe proposed uprising was planned by a
man named Katzer, formerly an officer in
tne Austrian army, and later a sergeant
in tbe Fifth United States infantry. Ii
was a ptau to secretly arm several hun
dred royalists sympathizers, and by con
certed action to capture tne government
ezecutive building and three or lonr
small steamers plying among tbe islands,
then to establish a temporary govern
ment at Hilo. One of the steamers wis
to be quickly dispatched to Victoria, B.
C.for arms, ammunition and men who
were to bare been previously enlisted by
on agent nnw in tbe United States. Sev
eral thousand dollars had been pledged
by wealthy royalist who weie implicated
This plot was exposed to tbe government,
however, long before any actual revolu
tionary preparations could be made.
Kttzer fled to San- Francisco, and Wet
more, a newspaper man who bad been
admitted to tbe revolutionary circe, and
who exposed tbe pi t to tne government,
waa a passenger on tbe same steamer
Ostensibly be was banished, but it is be
lieved in Honolulu the government
officials tent him away as a ruse to pro

quenttoa of Killing Heals.
New York, Nov. 27 A special to the
World, from Ottawa, Ontario, says : Sir
CbarlesTupper, minister of marine and
fisheries, who waa Canada's agent at tbe
Paris arbitration, discredits the report
that tbe United States government bas
asked Great Britain to content to tbe
prohibiting ot tbe killing of seals next
season. "Had tbe United States enter
tained a reatonsble proposal we made,"
says Topper, "tbe seal fisheries Would
have soffeied far less than tbev are like
ly to do under tbe present regulations.
We saw tbe danger of what the close sea
too should be. We said tbat if tbe states
would give our sealers a good summer's
work we would agree to prohibit sealing
during tbe winter and spring months,
when tbe seals are gravid and when tbe
great damage is done by slaughtering.
The United Statea rejected this proposal.
and tbe danger ef depletion Is multiplied.
Tbe Behring sea catch of Canadian vet
sell tbit season only amounts to a little
over 26,000 tklns, or 27 per cent of tbe
total eaten. Tbe whole number of fe
males taken in Bebring sea was 55 per
cent nr tbe catch, a fact tbat contradicts
tbe United States' assertion tbat for every
male teal killed three female seals are
slaughtered."

Destruction of Derelicts.
London, Nov. 29 Tbe admiralty and

considering tbe subject of tbe destruction
of derelict vessels', bas made its report.
Tbe committee does not adviso tbe adop

for-tbe destruction of abandoned vessels
or the holding of an international con
ference on the subject. It recommends a
better reporting ot derelicts as to char
acter, location, etc, and a periodical
publication of such reports. Tbe report
further ssva tbe dangers of disaster re
sulting from collision witb tbe derelicts
is probably greatly exaggerated, at tbe
number afloat at one lime in tbe entire
North Atlantic bad not exceeded 19. Tbe
pab'.icaiion ef information in regard to
derelict vessels given in charts issued oy
tbe United States would be impracticable
and itt use would be llkelv to mislead
mariners and needlessly alarm them.

That Exeartion.
The reporter of the Portland Sun, in
his "write up" of the excursion to the
Cascade Locks last Saturday, was in
clined to be a little facetious regarding
the visit of Tbe Dalles business men on
that occasion. He also seemed to be in
a quandary regarding the object of the
excursion ; .but this is easily explained.
The Day Bros, are anxious to secure an
extension of time, and desired the influ
ence of the chamber of commerce of
Portland to accomplish this. . Under the
circumstances this course may be ad
visable, for, if the contract were an
nulled, it would cause considerable de
lay before another one could be. let. As
regards the courtesies of the occasion,
if the Portland chamber of commerce
were the guests of Messrs. Day Bros.,
the latter would be the entertainers;
and, further, if The Dalles business men
were invited by the Portland gentlemen,
they should see thai their guests re
ceived courteous treatment. . If this was
not extended to our citizens they fully
understand on whom to place the blame.
The scribe in his animadversions was
very unfair; but perhaps being his first
experience in reporting anything of the
kind, he may have inadversely been
too severe.

AMATEUR STRONG MEN.
Herman Oelrlchs Stronger Than Sandow.
WUlbun Stelnway a Giant,
I know of four men who do not
pose as eons of Hercules, and who
never made a penny by spectacular
exhibitions, who, I think, could hold
their own with the quartet of for
eign invade, Sandow, Samson, At
tila and Romulus, in trials of
Btrength. These men are Herman
OelrichSi principal owner of the
North German Lloyd Steamship com
pany; Tea Merchant Harry Buer
meyer, Editor William B. Curtis and
Piano Manufacturer William Stein
way. Of these Herman Oelricha,
millionaire and clubman, is the
strongest, and stronger, I firmly be
lieve, than Sandow or any of the oth
er professional strong men.
Two of these men, too, could come
very near to giving Corbett or Jack
Bon a trouncing in the squared circle
Oelrichs and Buermeyer. Both of
these gentlemen were adjudged by
competent experts fully capable of
holding their own, even with the
mighty John L. Sullivan when that
renowned gladiator was in his prime.
If they could do this with the Bos
tonian, they might go a shade better
with the Calif ornian or Australian.
Of this "big four," as I will call them,
three Oelrichs, Buermeyer and Cur
tig were and are as good all around
heavy weight athletes as this or any
other country has ever seen. The
fourth. Stein way, despite his 48 years,
can perform downright feats of
strength not juggling tricks that
any of the professional strong men
would find it hard to duplicate.
Once, on a wager with friends at a
private trial, Oelrichs entered a lion's
cage, and properly accoutered for the
fray, of course, actually overcame
and reduced tc . state of exhaustion
by his physical .esources a full grown
monarch of the jungle. The lion was
muzzled with a plain leather strap,
but was not hampered in any other
way. Oelrichs thus did better than
Sandow, who only dared recently to
try with a tame and crippled old lion
at San Francisco.
When John L. Sullivan was in his
prime 10 years" ago, knocking out
men nightly in four rounds on his
exhibition tours, Oelrichs offered to
meet the great Bostonian in private
and civ Mm fclO.000 if he (Oelrichs)
did not best him. Suiiivan was not
one whit afraid, but as he was mak
r- na Via woo vnolr. I
ing $100,000 a year just then he lis
tened to the voice oi his manager,
the famous sportsman, Al Smith, and
determined to take no chances, much
to Oelrichs' chaerin.
Father Bill Curtis and" Buermeyer
rank next to Oelrichs as strong men.
Another "strong man" in private
life is Giovanni P. Morosim. In early
life he was a sailor before the mast.
He is over 60 years of age, yet he is a
perfect Hercules in strength. Wil

Cycling Gazette.
DINNER THAT COST $700 A PLATE.
Eaten In a Gambling- House and Followed
bj a Torn at Faro.
"History of the cuisine fairly teems
with descriptions of co3tly meals,"
remarked Louis Davies of Brooklyn.
"We read how that profligate Helio
gabalus, the Roman emperor, had a
single dish on his table once that cost
$200,000, and how another Roman,
Aeiius verus, gave a supper to a
dozen cronies that cost a quarter of
a million dollars. Then Vitelliua,
still another Roman and an emperor
likewise, entertained his brother at
a little snack that used np a couple
of hundred thousand, but these were
ancient fellows, who had nightin
gales' tongues and humming birds'
brains and similar- marvelous dain
ties. .
"Coming down to modern days and
plain, ordinary, everyday ham and
eggs, I ate a supper once in this very
town that cost a mend of mine $1,
400. A gentleman named Parker
kept an establishment devoted to en
tertaining gentlemen at sundry
games of chance. One night the
friend I speak of and myself were
killing an evemng here together.
when we conceived the brilliant idea
that a visit to Parker's would be
just the thing. We put it into exe
cution at once. I have never gam
bled in my life, and my friend has
never done it since. We went up
stairs and entered tne room just as
supper was announced.
"My friend did not want to eat any
thing, but I was hungry, and when
some plausible rascal of a dealer told
me that there was broiled Smith field
ham, flanked with pullets' eggs as 'a
sort of. side issue to the otherwise
gorgeous feast, I broke for the sup
per room, despite my companion's
pleadings. Of course he followed me
when he found his protestations were
useless, and we enjoyed the feed im
mensely. When we came out, my
friend pulled out a $20 bill and said
he would play a turn or two to pay
for our supper. I begged bim in turn
not to do it, but he was as obdurate
as I had been. But why linger on the
misery? He lost his $20 bill and tried
to get it back. In two hours $1,400
were gone glimmering. I have never
felt so downright hungry since that
a slight request from a mere ac
quaintance cannot keep me away
from a deadhead feed. "Washington

Electricity and Spiritualism.
There is not the least evidence to
show that electricity is employed at
spirituausUc seances. On the con
trary, there is every evidence against
its presence. The most delicate in
strument for the detection of that
force, which would show its presence
when so light as scarcely to affect a
thistledown, is unaffected. The ta
ble, however violently moved, is not
electrically excited, and the medium.
writing or entranced, gives no indi
cation of the force. It would be im
possible for the human organism,
constituted as it is, to generate an
electric current
Hence all the theories of spiritual
phenomena, taking electricity as the
cause, are untenable. That spiritual
beings have any more direct connec
tion with that force than mortals is
also a groundless supposition. It has
been said their celestial bodies were
formed of electricity, as though it
was a material substance, while it is
without the least substance, being a
force like heat or light.
Electricity can play no more im
portant part in the spirit spheres
man on earth, and m reality it be
longs as an expression of force to
this material sphere, and in the spirit
world is represented by far swifter
and more powerful form of energy,
as the celestial substance of that
vwonu is more euoiimatea ana re
fined. Professor Hudson Tuttle.
