BREAKERS ABEADU
The race war has resulted in a terrt
. bid atata of affaira in New Orleans,
od negroes have been massacred be
use they have taken the place of
whits men on the levee. Perhaps the
non union men would have been at
ucked if they had been members of
the predominant rape; bat color has
- -no doubt intensified the- bitterness of
the fight. Times are bard, and w'aae-
- earners are driven to straits to keep
themselves and families from starva
tion. These condition make men
desperate, and desperation makes them
4otnmit acta which they themselves
would severely condemn if well fed
and well clothed. A deplorable static
. of affairs prevails m all parts of the
country, and riots and bloodshed may'
be expected. The supremacy of law
must be maintained, and yet it seems
cruel to shoot down a hungry man be
. cause he is acting violently in what he
deema the only way to procure sustp.
nance, in Brooklyn, during the trol
ley oar riots, the men were not wholly
to blame, and still the peace of -the
community demanded that their vio
lence should be suppressed, even by
the strong arm of the military. . In
New Orleans no doubt the rioters have
many grievance; but they abould not
have resorted to the shotgun means of
r redress. If order is not restored the
military will be ordered out, and, al
(bough peace, will follow, it will leave
the minds of the citizens in no satis
fied or contented condition. In mon
archical governments this would make
little difference, for they would have
nothing to do with national affairs,
and the machinery would work alona
smoothly notwithstanding their antag
onism; bat in the United States it is
far different Every member of the
discontented olasaee of oitiisns have
the right of suffrage, and, instead of
. ezeroising the privilege for the public
good it will be nsed aa a means if vent
iog personal spite and spleen. Thenuni
ber of the discontented are constantly
being angamented, and they have be
come a dangerous element to free insti
tutions. Embittered by their condition
they are at war with the better ele
vents of society, and are easily at'
traded by any wild tbeery that may be
advocated as a means of redress. At
the polls they have become a power.
and thu may be exerted to practically
demonstrate the airy vision of some
wild dreamer. Numerically they are
yet is the minority in the entire coun
try; bat it is probable that in some
portions they have the majority. The
legislation that suoh voters will de
mand cannot be for the welfare of so
ciety, and there are politicians who
would willingly oarry out their desires
for the sake of securing their votes.
This is a difficult problem to solve
by a government whose fabric rests on
universal suffrage, and yet it must be
"met fearlessly ' and calmly. Extreme
measures should not be nsed except the
necessity was argent and imperative;
Jsut law andorderuiust.be maintained.
It is hoped the distressful state of
affaira will change soon; but if it does,
not the future of the country is porten
tous of the greatest disasters to free
government.
EXTREME RATIONALISM .

- the Mifia riots caused considerable
diplomatic correspondence, and was
only amicably settled after our gov
ernment paid heavy damages Tor the
outrage. The massacre of the Chinese
in Wyoming, a few years, ago was
passed over without much difficulty
because amicable relations with Oblna
were not considered of much import
ance, and the Chinese empire was
hardly considered within the purview
. of international law that governed
other nations. But this antagonism
against foreigners baa become too fre
quent in this country, and has not en
hanced the opinion of American civ
ilization among Europeans. The right
of asylum has been granted by all na
tions since the world emerged from
mediaeval barbarism, and that
boa Id be violated more frequently by
uitizens of the western republic than
by those of any other civilized conn-
try is very discreditable. The butch
ry of Armenians by the Turks has
aroused the civilised world, and an in
vestigation is now in progress. If the
stories of these outrages are anthen
tioated Constantinople will be forced
to make reparation, and at great cost
to the Ottoman empire. But these
Armenian brutalities have been the
result of religious fanaticism, which
has blackened the pages of history
in all ages, while the Mafia riots,
the butchery of Chinese in Wvom
. lu aMa uio i9 tuaoanyro u& Aiauaua
i t .1 - T.-lr
in Colorado, hare resulted from
national prejudice and labor troubles,
fir which there is the least excuse.
Thousands of Armenians were killed
by Turkish soldiers, and in the out
rages in this country there were only
- a lew victims; nut tne spirit that ac;u
ated the murders in the United States
of censure. -In the mountains of Ar-

en one tide, and thousands of Arme
ttieua upon whom Moalemism could
eat its 4ratred; bat in this nation
there were only a mob of a hundred or
lets and a handful of ignorant foreign-
en to satiate the thirst for blood.
Nationalism, so far as it leads th
citizens of this country to be distinctly
American and to prefer this nation to
all others is commendable, and should
be the aim of every patriotic citizen;
bat when it generate! a hatred of for
eigners, and would, in emergencies, i
cause them to be shot down like dogs
or rats, it is allied to barbarism. The
elective franchise should be carefully
guarded.and the privilege only granted
wben considered subservient to
the best, interests of the common
wealth; bot the right of domicile
should be stcifd to every person who
may visit t hi country for pleasure
or for profi , if he obey the laws and
ia not a criminal or dangerous
agitator. Even a Chinaman or
Hungarian should be protected this
far, And as a factor in the labor
market he should not be butchered if
he attempted unfair competition. The
freest government under the sun, with
equal rights to all and speoial privileges
to none, should not, by the acts of ils
citizens, try to revive the practices of
an age wben the divine rights of kings
was considered au essential dogma of
religious creed'.
POLITICAL,
Politics, as far as it pertains to the
government of national affairs, should
receive the closest attention of all cit
izens; butr in regard to the. narrow,
contracted view of the elevation of
certain men into office, it should be
left to those interested, whom, we pre
sume, are competent to manage their
own personal affairs. In another year
the time will have arri ved when it will
be iocumbent on the people to giv
their choice for a chief magistrate, and
in the interval the political caldron
will seethe and boiL Tbia. excitement
appears necessary for the average mer
curial American to ' have something
upon which to expend his surplus vital
force, and presidential elections, act as
safety values to allow the surplus en
ergies to find proper vent, for if they
did not regularly take plaee every four
years perhaps disastrous consequences
might result.
The strain on the machinery of gov
eminent during tne past two years
have bad the effect of straining to th
tightest tension every portion ot i and
it is very fortunate that 1896 will
witness an opportunity for the peopl
to make a chance. Business has been
depressed, money has been tight and
values have depreciated, and com'
plaicts have been lou j and general all
over the land. Every one has felt the
pressure of hard time:', and many and
various have been the causes assigned
and the remedies suggested.
Principal among tne latter is a re
turn to the silver standard, and this is
claimed to be all that is necessary to
reestablish prosperity in all branches
of trade. When the BepubHcans
gave up the administration, the public
treasury bad a surplus and badness
was prosperous This will be ad
mitted even by the 16tol silver
dreamers, and, however much they
may advocate unlimited coinage it rill
not restore former conditions. The
Democracy may change its platform to
suit the silver craze, hoping by that
means to attract many voters; bat
Republicans should not deviate the
least from the principles they have fol
lowed while in charge of natioifal af-
aira One may view the situation
from any standpoint, and the only
logical solution of the problem is that
the old party is the only one that can
give confidence to capital and place
business where it was three years ago.
if the Democrats desire to unite
with the silver men no o'jpctions
should be made by the Republicans
For the past thirty years tbey have
never advocated a principle of national
government that would have adoVd to
the welfare of tbe country, and their
attempts at tar ff reform have been
very disastrous. Populism and modern
Democracy are well mated; but the
Republican party has evervihing be
hind it to' make itsafe and sound. Its
theories-have been demonstrated by
experience, and no emergency can hap
pen in the future that the Republican
party has not met successfully in the
past. '
A COMPARISON. -
The Washington legislature ad
journed yesterday, after every im
portant bifl was pawed upon. How
different this is to the late Oregou
law-makers, who were in session forty
days, and spent the time in wrangling
over the election of a United States
senator and in defeating many meas
ures which were necessary for the
public weal. Our neighboring state
has always displayed commendable en
terprise in every project that
would advance tbe best inter
ests of the commonwealth and its
legislative body has always exhibited
intelligence and the highest considers- I
tion for the interests of tbe public.
On the contrary, Oregon has been re
nowned for lack of enterprise and the
perpetuation of mossbackism, and its
legislature has served only tbe purpose
of furnishing food for ridicul, the last
one mos lamentally so. From tbia
it is apparent in this portion of the
northwest .there in a vast room foiiui
provemenr. . With resources un
surpassed on the continent our devel
opment has been slow, aud the legisla
tive bodies that have convened every
two years have never been renowned
for wisdom or a proper consideration
of the publio welfare. In the future
there is hope that matters may be dif
ferent; hut it has contibued so long
that we are almost forced to use the
old Biblical inquiry, Can a leopard
change his spots or an Ethiopian hit
.loit
In tne discussion of th terms of
peace between China and Japan it is
said tbe latter country will make
large demands, a d these must lie
grant d before the Japanese dogs of
war will be tied in a secure plao.
China is under the heel of Japan, and
he is powerless to refuse Any terma.
There is not much sympathy extended
to ; tbe celestial empire, and nearly
everyono would welcome the news
that Peking was ia postejsi'QS of Jap
aoeje troops.
TEE POLICY OF SURRENDER.
Tbe foreign policy of the present ad
ministration is aptly stigmatized by
Senator Lodge as a policy of surrender.
In every instance of dispute with a
foreign nation, there has been a failure
to maintain the dignity and enforce
rights of our country. In ignomini
ous 'lack of backbone has disgraced our
diplomacy; and put us at a standing
disadvantage. As often as occassion
has been presented to promote our in
terests abroad, disappoi' tcenc has en
sued by reason of incapacity at Wash
ington. Tbe state department has
counted for less than was ever before
koown, except as a target for derision,
and the national honor has been dis
paraged accordingly. As the Ghbe
Democrat remark?, there is a good
deal of force in Mr. Lodge's suggestion
that tbe explanation of this unpleasant
spectacle lies largely in tbe fact that
the Democratic policy of tariff reform
makes subservienne to foreign nations
easy and consistent, if not absolutely
necessary. "The economic doctrines
which the tariff reformers have been
urging," he says, "were of course bor
rowed from England, and all tbe queer
and extrmeoua fantasies attached to
these doctrines were borrowed with
them," thus putting American ideas
and sentiments in the background.
It is certainly tjue that the Demo
cratic party has forfeited the robust
and aggressive Americanism that char
acterized it in former days. There is
nothing Jeffersonian or Jacksonian
about its present attitude towards for
eign nations. It was once noted for
its determined opposition to the idea
of imitating other countries or of be
ing dictated to by them, but now it is
t-mely willing to order its course ac
cording to foreign methods and .' in
obedience to foreign intimidation. The
American spirit seems to have oozed
out of it, and it looks to Europe for
inspiration and guidance. It is prin
cipally animated by what Mr. Lodge
calls "'.be melanohuly doctrine that
there is no higher aim or purpose for
men and nations than to buy and sell,
to trade jack-knives and make every
thing cheap;" and in giving practical
effect to this doctrine, it does hot besi
tate to sacrifice patriotism in order to
gain the favor of other countries,
This is one of ihe reasons why it has
made such a mess' of tbe great work
of conducting the affairs of the gov
ernment during the past two years.
It is not in sympathy with the best
interests and aspirations of tbe Amen
can people, but baa become denation-
alized in Its feelings and tendencies,

present lease of power will be its las'
one until it learns that the policy of
surrender is the policy of disaster and
dishonor.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
The following from tbe Eugene Stat
Journal of March 9cb, is tbe first com
plimentary notice we have seen of the
body of law-makers wbo were lately
in session in Salem: 'This legislature
was composed of men ef ability and
character, and it did splendid work.
Oregon will be fortunate if her next
legislature shall be as economical and
accomplish as much good for the peo
ple aa the present legislature. -
The flag of tbe United States has
been insulted by a Spanish gunboat,
and an apology should be immediately
demanded. Tbia country is sufficiently
strong to maintain its dignity under
all circumstancep, and European mon
archies should pay it the same respect
as tbey do ctoer nations, un this
side of the ocean this republic is
supreme, and old - Castile will learn
this lesson sooner or later.
The argument before the supreme
court on the income tax cases will
bring oat all the reasons there are
for or against this system of taxation.
as very able counsel nave been em
ployed. If the treasury were not de
pleted an income tax would never have
been inaugurated, and it must be con
sidered as one of the means to supply
revenue to eplenish ibis deficiency
caused by Democratic incompetency.
Here is a good sentence to remem-
ber. It is from a recent speech at a I
hanquet by General John B Qordon. I
"Bit the very existence of free gov
ernment among us will be hurried to
inevitable doom wbeuever the Ameri
can people aa a people shall have lost
tbe manhood which loipeiB them to
stand for law bpcause it is law, to de
fend the right because it is right, and
stamp out tbe wrong because ic is
wrong.
The Forest Grove Timet sounds a
new and harmonious choM containing
symphony of truth when it says
Oregon is all right, and ihe next few
years will see a growth but little
dreamed of. Tbe wonderful history
of the growth of the middle states
will be outdone in this land of the Bet
ting sun. The man who quietly gets
possession of good real estate will now
aa always come out well off, while the
hard times growler will always find tbe
rimes hard."
The smallpox scare in this city was
mu.h worse than the reality. Only
Mr. Monaban aud hia nurse have- been
afflicted by the contagion, and there ia
little danger of it spreading.' The
action of. residents in the pines burn,
ing tbe pest house was very reprehen
sible, and, as evidence tbat it way
mere groundless fear that caused 'h-
acc, pot one of those removed has devol
oped tbe least symptom of the disease.
But the "scare" has not subsided ye,
and attempting to prevent the physi
cian yesterday from visiting his pa
tients merits the severest condemna
tion. We believe tbe ci'y will act
promptly in this tuattrr, and no such
disgraceful occurrences will again hap
on. The municipality should have
ampin power to enforce all regulation,
and, after proper isolation, medical aid
thould be rendered to alt. persona
ffl ated with contagious or infectious
liaeasps. At' law-abiding ci'tiyrns wil
cheerfully aid the authorities ia thb
oatter. -A
grat many of our southern
'riends voted for free trde as a meant-
of developing their iron industry,
among others, says tbe Hillsboro In
dependen. They were told by Mr. Ed
ward Atkinson, wbo baa been a life
long enemy of aAjaejrin iron pro-
ducer?, that free trade was what tbey
wanted for the development of their
industry, and it was hinted that free
trade would also ii.jure tbe northern
iron maker '. e., free trade was a
kind of gun tnat would hit the north
ern d"er aud mia the southern calf! It
undoubtedly hit ihe northerndrer. But
how doe the southern calf come ou f
In 1892 tbe southern states mad
1,890,167 gross tens of iron and in
1691 tbe same states made 1,268 425
tons. In 1892 those ststea turned out
20 6 per cent of the total make of the
country and last year they made 19
per cent. When (he free trad presi
dent goes out of bfiice they will be for
tunate if tbey are making 17 per cent
I; is probable that their solid support
of tbe British candidate and the British
theory of trade development will cost
them thi labor and profits that would
have pertained to the making of at
least four million tons of pig iron.
Tbe8pckaneCAmtc has the fol
lowing sensible article on freight rates,
and the remarks are as applicable to
eastern Oregon as to the region men
tioned: "Business will not stand rates
now as high, or nearly as high, as in
times of eeneral prosperity.. When
wheat was sixty cents a bushel in the
local market then "the. rates .pow
charged for hauling gram to tide
water might have been reasonable, but
when wbeat is only twenty and
twenty-five cents a bushel ibis same
rate is. extortion, It is out of
all proportion to the coat of produc
tion, and to continue these high raie
ia ruinous; to both tbe farmer and to
the railroads. The. prioe of farm pro
due in Eistern Washington and
Northern Idaho has fallen fully a half
within tbe last few years. Why should
not freight rates be reduced in propor
tionf Tbe railroad comoanies should
have been equal to the emergency, and
bbould nave acted as the times and cir
cutnatances demanded, and then no
legislation would have been necessary
upon this subjeot. No legislation
would have been atkvd for had th
the railroads met the people half way."
Tbe following foroible language is
used by the Milton Eagle regarding
the rai road commission: "That Ore
gon's railroad commission was not re
pealed or in some way revised so that
seme benefit to the taxpayers might
"suit thereirom is the greater outrage
ot ail mat was perpeiravu "J mo iaie
lecia'ature. Their deeds of omission
and commission were manv, but this
was the most prominent. Every par y
pledged its repeal or revision in their
everal platform last June, and all
Democrats, Republicans and iropuliata
utterly disregarded these solemn
pledge-; and to make matter. ecill
worse, it sucn a taiog were possioie,
they failed to elect new comtuifcaioner.
thus leaving the old leeches to suck
sustenance from a people for the suc
ceeding two years who were nearly on
the verge of bankruptcy by reason of
I the extravagance and misrule of this
same commission during its former m-
I oumbency. Oregon is surely to be
I pitied, and God grant that she may
I never be again afflicted wtth anoih-r

caliber of thu last, one."

Kvervthing la Quiet.
New.Obleanb, March 13 The day
after the riot fouad everything quiet in
New Orleans, Toere were oo negroes on
tbe levee.
The police were ou bsnd on tbe river
front in large nuinhera to prevent a repe
tition of yeTtcftlay'a bloody affair. There
Was a heavy foj banging over the river
all moruiog and tbe police were under
tne impression tbat tbe rioters would
again take advantage of tbis fact to com
mit deeda ot violence, but this belief did
not pan out, for tbe simple reason tbat
oot a negro put in an appearance on the
levee.
Tbe ship agen's have decided in view
of tbe present unsettled date of affair
tbat it won d be a bad policy to attempt
to work co'ored laborer. -Tbey realize
that, the white (crewmen bave been
orked op to a pitch of fury aud if an
attempt wa made to work today more
blood would be spilled. ..The result was
tbat all ship being loaded by agents
employing colored laborer are undis
turbed today.
From eopearances -all ' trouble on the
leveee ia over, and unless something un
usual happen! there will be no repetition
of yesterdsy's rio.t. Q ivernor Foster to
day reiterated bis assertions of last evtn
ing that be would ma ntain peace at all
b'Zirds. He, however, advised tbe
agents not to attempt to work colored
laborers todav, believing if tbe negroes
kept off tbe scene for 81 hours the fighting
spirit of the whites would die out.
There is a rumor tbat street-car em
ploves will s'rike today at oono. For
some time tbere b&s been trouble over
the question t f boors It is said if the
strike be ordered it will greatly intensify
tbe feeling among the labor element.
