CLEVELAND AND SHERMAN..
JTbe report that Preaideat Cleveland

Sherman ia significant, says Joe St.
Louis Globe-Democrat It probably
tomans that an endeavor ia being made
by the administration to secure Re
publican aid for soma measure of re

question ia about the only one that
coald have any chance to bring these '
ntatesmcn together. It ia likely that
the president realizes by this time that
the only hope of satisfactory currency
legislation in the present congress lies
in actively enlisting the Republicans
in its faror. Undoubtedly the best
, way for the president to communicate
with the Republicans on this issue is

In the vicinity of The Dalles the
annual catch of salmon is a source of
great rpveoof, and if the gill-nets
were not used a', the month of the
river this would be considerably in

rent in the stream fishermen on the
middle river cannot use - these
gill-nets to advantage, and laws
for protection are only bene
ficial to those residing at the
mouth of the Columbia; but these
laws should be framed in such a man
ner that they would not be injurious
to the industry in other pans of the
state. It is .very evident that the
2,800,000 feet of gill-netting at or
near the bar at the mouth of the Co
lumbia divert a large portion of the
run of salmon from entering the stream

with one whioh Sherman prepared

this field which either Sherman or
Allison presents can be relied oa to be

may get through the senate before the
middle of February, bat its chances
would not be favorable in the house.
That body, with its more than ninety
Democratic plurality, and with a large
part of its Democratic membership de
feated and discredised at the Novem
ber election, is not in the mood to
it their support.
DIFFICULT OF APPLICATION.
The long-continued strike in Brook
lyn is another test of the strength and
permanency of free institutions.
Equal rights demand that the laborer
shall enjoy the saaie protection cf law
as the capitalist, and these include cer
tain privileges which may cause dis
cord in existing business or commer
cial relations. A government to be
free must be so without discriminating
in favor of any class of citizens, and
in the administration of affairs should
show no greater energy in the enforce'
ment of law against the poor than
against the . rich. Ivor this reason
strikes are a peculiarly hard test on the
justice and permancy of the ideas of
universal freedom which underlie this
form of government. The capitalist
would have unquestioned privilege of
closing down his faotory if be so eta
sired, and it would be yery arbi
trary for a statutary provision to
be passed ' forcing him to con
tinue his works at a financial loss. If
rights are equal this should be the same
with all classes of persons. When the
wage earner considers nimseii nn
fustly dealt with in any manner by his
TSEASURY DEFICIT.
President Cleveland has again called
the attention of congress to the fact of
the deficit in the treasury, and to the
necessity of doing something to stop
the constant drain of gold. While the
measures he recommend may give
room to discussion, yet it is the duty
of patriotism, when the truth is known,
to stand hrmiy in support of any
scheme that will save the credit of the
nation abroad and establish confidence
at home. The argument of the ad
vocates of free silver, that national
obligations should not be paid in gold,
is nothing short of repudiation, and
repudiation is dishonesty. 1 here is
no intention among honest Democrats
or Republicans, of substituting any
thing in payment cf the bonds but the
money which is current in the commer
cial world. To do this there must be
another issue of bonds, or some plan
formulated as President Cleveland
suggests. The message presents the
financial status in a clear light, and
something must be done to avert
threatened bankruptcy. This contin
ual agitation of the money question;
the attempt of the people, in certain
portions of the United States, to adopt
the wildest vagaries as systems of
finance; and, perhaps, not the least,
the wild craze in parts of the west, for
unlimited coinage of silver, all have a
tendency to make foreign holders of
onr securietiea tremulous regarding the
result. They are fearful that some
action of congress will he taken to
make the payment in a depreciated
currency, and they are drawing their
money while gold is the standard. If
there ever waa a time, since the dark
days following the civil war, when
clear headed statesmen are needed in
Washington it is now; and these fal
lacies, which are making peop'e wild
on money matters, need te be bt. imped
out with an iron heel.

shouid be as sacred a privilege as that
accorded to the capitalist or corpora
tion direotor. Anything else than this
leans toward monaroy, and should not
be tolerated or favored in a republic.
The employes on the trolley cars had
an absolute right to quit work, and the
managers had the privilege to employ
others to take their places. These
rights are guaranteed by the constitu
tion, and should have been strictly en
forced. When the strickers used vio
lence to force the non-union men to
quit work they were violators of law
and were subject to punishment. -
It is unquestionably a fact that these
strikes have a natural tendrnoy to re-
the administration, which it imagines
to be responsible for the party's over
throw. ' However, this, obstruction
should not deter the Republicans of
. the senate from assisting their leaders,
. Sherman and Allison, in the endeavor
to relieve the treasury. The revenues
are increasing, and .the end of the
monthly deficits is probably close at
band, but the fact that the gold fund
is below the 97U.UUU.UW, ana is
steadily dropping is an evidence that
at least one mote bond sale will have

has the editor of that paper urged on

of liberty, and there is but a short step
between military repression and mili- I
tary oppression. Soldiers are governed
by arbitrary rules, and are not accus
tomed to make much discrimination in
reference to the rights of civilians.
FIGHTING THE OREGONIAN.
Our Salem correspondent, in yester
day's issue, says the fight has been
against Dolph and the Oregonian, and
not in favor of a free silver man. We
have been aware of the fact for many
years that the Oregonian although
ably edited and generally safe and
sound on ' public issues, has created
very maay enemies in Oregon by its
arbitrary and autocratic manner in
discussing questions of great interest;
but this should not influence any
man's judgment on national matters
Members of the legislature, were not
elected to fight the Oregonian in Salem;
but to represent the best interests of
their constituents. It is very puerile
for any legislator to vote contrary to
his judgment because, by so doing, he
can vent his personal spleen against
any paper. The Oregonian is not in
issue in the senatorial contest any more
than the Salem Statesman, the Ai-
torian or twenty other papers that ad
vocate sound oorrenoy. - It is sim
ply a question before the members of
the legislature whether Oregon shall
be represented in the United States
senate by a man whose views on the
financial question are sound and in
harmony with national prosperity and
commercial honesty, -or by one who
follows the Populist idea and believe
that the stamp of tbn government only
is necessary to create as much of the
circulating medium as may be desired
for revenue or business. Any man
who fights the Oregonian on the fioors
of the legislature ougnt not to have
been elected to the position, and should
have stayed at home until his oiicd
was sufficiently matured tcf understand
the importance of the position. The
people of Oregon do not want boys in
the legislature, who will be aotuated
by boyish spile and spleen when j
matters of national importance are to
be decided.
will not happen until they enjoy
lucid interval in the attack of free
silver insanity.
rrom tne reports reoeivea trora
Salem it is very evident that the capi
tal has been captured by a Populist
mob, who crowd the streets and howl for
free silver and throng the galleries in
the legislative bails and cheer and
hiss the members. " This does not add
to the dignity of the session of the leg
islature or the reputation of the state,
A bill has been introduced into the
legislature to limit the fees of county
officials to $4000, and that the surplus
shall go into the treasury. This sum
would be a comfortable amount for one
who would be willing to be inducted
into an office, and should be satisfac
ory. But there are many O.iver
Twists in politics, who apparently are
always desirous of receiving more,
especially when financial matters are
being considered
Tboi-e of the representatives from
Eastern Oregon who are standing firm
by the caucus nominee fur United
States senator are commended by Re
publicans in this part of the state.
The obstructionists are condemned on
eve. y hand, and, in the future will
receive no politic! favors from their
fellow cHiZ''n!. - lneir preverse br-
sinimty is costing tne state Heavily,
and the com plaints of the people are
becoming general
The committee olerks in the legis
lature are not getting the usual gen
erous compensation. Xhose who work
get $5 per day while those whose
duties are merely nominal, and spend
i heir time about the state house cor-
ridore, and keeping out of the ay,
must be satietied wun $o a day for
doing nothing. It is an old fashioned
rule, and one that should be enforced
at Salem, that only those who work
should receive pay.
The senatorial contest shows very
little change today, and the obstruc
tionists show a lack of concentration
on any candidate. Those who sup
port Mr. Dolpb have the people and
all party usages behind them, and are
r.ot expected to deviate from '.he posi
tion they have taken. Those who
bolted the caucus and are acting con
trary to the expressed desires of their
constituents are responsible for the
results of the deadlock. ,
The offer of the United States to
aot as arbitrater of the differences ex
isting between Mexico and Guatemala
has been courteously declined, and the
last report is that the latter country
was willing to make the necessary con
cessions. This administration has
been very unfortunate in its efforts to
aot as a mediator between foreign bel
ligerent nations, and perhaps it will
not attempt in the future to enforce its.

There is come opposition in the
present legislature to fish-wheels, and

representative from this oonnty, un

should use his utmost endeavors
against any legislation inimical to

The Dalles will lose thousands of dol
lars of revenue during the fishing
season, and Mr. Coon should represent

does persistently refuse to do so on the
senatorial question,
The dead-lock still continues in Sa
lem and may for weeks yet to the det
riment of thb best interests of the
state. This session will cost the peo
pie heavily, and, apparently very little
beneficial legislation will be done
The responsibility for this will rest on
the bolters, who for several days past
have thwarted the will of the people
as expressed at the ballot box last
June, and have soent their time
and taxed . property owners that
they might fight Bolph and the
Oregonian in the halls of the
legislature. Tboe who are supporting
Dolph should oontinue to do so with
unwavering courage.
