MERIT VS. INCOMPETENCY.
- . The financial question is the one
V , - uppermost in the minds of the peopl
today. This Is a year when candidates
for legislative offices must stand up
a . . -
and bo counted either for Of against
the free coinage of silver. ' The demo-
' crafts in state contention .recognize
this fact, and a majority in the con
mention favoring the free and unlimit
':.r ed coinage of silver,, the platform
,' adopted declares in unmistakable terms
for that principle, hence there can be
no mistake as to the views of the legis
. lative nominees on this question. ' The
- TlMES;MocrNTAlNEEB is not with the
majority of the democratic party
.Oregon on this issue, nevertheless
admires their honesty and bravery in
making an open declaration, of their
.principles; and while it does not be
' lieve that the free and -unlimited coin-
v age of silver by the United States
safe, it recognizes that this is an issue
that must be met fairly and squarely
in. the coming election. On this issuo
the democratic party of Oregon have
placed themselves on record in terms
- that cannot -be auestsooed, while tne
republicans have dodged the question
ost cowardly, especially in the matter
' of congressional nominations.
-' In the" first congressional district
- the republicans have placed in nomina-
" tion Thomas Tongue, an avowed gold-
-. standard- man, one whose views on this
-- question cannot be mistaken; but in
the second district, the nominee of
. that party is W. R- Ellis, a man who
has. time and again, gone on record as
nnnnwd to a trold standard. In thier
state platform they have declared
neither for gold or silver, but have re-
' affirmed the declarations of the national
Dlatform of 1892. Hence it is that the
republican party of Oregon go before
the people with no clearly defined
principle on ' the money question.
- Worse than tbis, their nominees for
obngress are of directly opposite views
on the financial question. -:.
-.1 In the first congressional district,
democrats who are opposed to the free
' coinage of silver,, and who consider
this issue paramount to all others, may
uJexercise their preference in the sup
port of Mr. Tongue. But in the second
district, they have no such option,
" even if '- they believe the financial
question is of greater importance that
, tariff reform and economical adminis
tration. -., ' .
- With a "straddle" in the republican
platform and an avowed free silver
man in nomination for congress, the
; Intelligent voter is at sea as to where to
find the republican party , in this dis
trict, therefore the contention must
center upon a question ol personal
'I merit on the part of the two congres
sional nominees. One is a man who
' has served as representative in con
gress four years, and during that time
. has accomplished so little for the state
which he represents that the press of
- his own party in this district, with the
"exception -of the Heppner Gazette and
'Long Creek Eagle, have-denounced him
as incompetent and unworthy of sup
port. : The other is a man of recognized
ability as one of the leading lawyers of
. the state, one who in congress would
be the peer of any man on the floors
of ' that great deliberative body, a
friend of the masses, and an advocate'
of the interests of the great state of
Oregon. '

Official salaries in every, branch if
government are out of proportion to
earnings in private life. They are
higher than a just compensation for
the ser v ice ren dered. That they creal e
an unjust burden upon the people in un

their reduction is the one on whom
the overtaxed people must rely for
relief. -

heartily endorse the declarations of
the democratic party demanding the
repeal of the laws creating them.
The tenth plank, denouncing the
extravagance of the last legislature,
should have gone further and pledged
the party to practice the strictest
economy, to cut off all needless nx

state on business principles. Still the

ter, the Ttmes-Mottntaineer, being
an independent democratic paper,
whose aim is to advance principles
which it believes are for the benefit of
the greatest number, and believing
the interests of the state of Oregon
will be more carefully guarded with
Judge Bennett in congress than they
have been during the past four years
with Mr. Ellis as our representative,
heartily advocates his election, how
ever widly it differs with him ana a
majority of the democratic party of
Oregon on the question of finance. .
GOOD AND BAD.
The platform adopted by the demo-
cratlc state convention is by no means
. . . perfect. It contains some objection
'.' able ana some commendable features,
yet it is perhaps as consistent a set of
declarations as could have been se
: cured under the circumstances, when
the convention was composed largely
of men who had but a single idea that
of placing the party on record as un-
i reservededly favoring the free and un
limited coinage of silver. Aside from
the free silver plank, the next most
. .'. objectionable declaration is that con
tained in the second article, demand
ing the repeal of all " specific' contract
laws. While this idea is popular with
many, it is a principle that, if carried
z into execution, would encroach upon
'' '. individual privileges. It is not the
province of the state to interfere with
private contracts, to undertake to
"stipulate by legislative enactment
: whether a debtor shall pay his obliga
tions in gold, silver or any other pro
duct of his labor, hence the specific
contract law is not burdensome, nor
would its repeal be beneficial to the
'- masses.
But there are parts of. the platform
which are commendable, and on which
the democratic party can go before the
people asking the support of the voters,
; with the assurance that if the manage-
;.- ment of state affairs is entrusted to
their keeping, a more economical ad
ministration will result than has pre
vailed in past years. The most com
- mendable features are the sixth,
seventh and tenth planks, as follows:
"We demand a reduction of all sal
. aries, federal and state, commensurate
-with the depressed condition of the
country; that the compensation of all
stats officers shall be kept strictly
within the letter of the constitution
that all laws now existing providing
extra fees or compensation for any
duty or service Imposed by law upon
such offices shall be repealed."
"We demand the repeal of the laws
creating the railroad commission, and
all other useless commissions."
Y "We denounce the extravagant acts
of the last legislature as coextensive
with fraud, jobbery, and squandering
of the people's money, and we censure
and hold the republican majority res
jonible for the present condition of
A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
Hardly hid the 1.1st session of the
legislature adjiurnsd when the Ore
gonian gave the following advice as to
the wording ef the republican platform
for 1896:
"The logical thing for the next re
publican platform would be a resolu
tion indorsing . and approving' tne
earnest and successful efforts of the
late legislature against reduction of
salaries, offices, fees arid taxes, and
pledging the party to ' renewed efforts
in that line. .
"It may well be supposed that this
matter will be duly attended to at the
state republican convention, "rhich
will be held in March or April, 1896. a
little over a year henee. If the piri
form is to aioord with, the policy and
acts of the recent legislature, it should
read something like this, to-wit:
The republican party, both from
principle and interest, believes in high
tixation for the benefit of public of
ficials. It pledges itself to stand firmly
against all efforts to reduce the num
ber of offices, or the salaries, fees and
emoluments thereof. It insists that
officials who have put up mo ley for
campaign purposes to secure the suc
cess of their p irty and their own. elec
tion, are entitled to recoup from the
taxpayers, and that . through their
election a moral obligation is created
which forbids offices to be cut off or
salaries or emoluments to be reduced.
We congratulate th people of the
state on the defeat of the efforts made
in the legislature of 1895 to cut off
salaries, offices, emoluments and fees,
and denounce . those efforts as the
height of outrage and injustice: and
we approve the large and liberal ex
penditures for clerks in the legislature,
and point with pride to the numerous
items ard the grand total of the
general appropriation bill."
The republican stat" convention,
however, did not see fit to. follow tbis
advice of the Oregonian, nor did that
paper see fit to refresh their minds on
the subject just prior to the assembling
of the delegates. Instead of following
the advice of the great oracle of the
party on the question of retrenchment.
the convention made this declaration:
"We pledge the republican party to
rigid economy in the expenditure of
public money, to the reduction of ex
cessive salaries, and the abolish
ment of the fee system' whereever
possible, and of all useless commissions;
and believe that no appropriation
hould be made, to any .school or
charitable institution not under the
control of the slate; arid oppoje the in
corporation bill of items for the ex
penditure of public money not author
ized by law.".
Could the records' of the legislative
session of 1895 be blotted out of history,
this plank in the platform of the re
publican.' party could be accepted by
the voters of Oregon as meaning some
thing, and would be consider- d as a
pledge of that party to practice the
strictest economy. But since those
records are yet fresh in the minds of
all, as are also the wording of the plat
form of 1894, it would have been more
consistent on the part of the fraraers
of the platform this year to either have
said nothing about retrenchment, or
worded their plank on this subject
after the fashion suggested by the
Oregonian. Such a wording would
have been more compatible with the
acts of the legislature, and wbb such a
declaration of principles, the voters
would nave oeen assured or tne mean
ing, but might have felt the assurance
that, there was a possibility Of the
pledge being broken, since so many
former pledges have not been kept,
and they might have hoped for some
real economy being practiced. We
believe the republican party has lost a
golden opportunity of obtaining con
trol of -the next legislature by not fol
lowing the suggestions of the Oregon
ian in this matter. In the light of the
broken pledges of 1894, voters can
only hope that their recent pledges of
retrenchment will also be broken, and
going on the hypothesis that such
promises are made to be broken, might
have interpreted a platf rm worded in
accordance with that submitted by the
Oregonian to re illy mean economy,
and would therefore have given the
party making the declarations their
support.
THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.
Neyer befo-ein the history of Oregon
was there a more confused state of
affairs existing in politics than-at pres
ent. Especially is this true in the
second congressional district. The
financial question has overshadowed
all other issues, and new lines by
which individuals, not parties, are
divided, have been drawn. The adop
tion of a free silver plank in the dem
o iratic platform was a s'l-'prna to the
s mnd money elemont - in the p irty
fr m which they h ive nm yet fully re
c vred, and it is yet a question where
so n of them will stand in the coming
campiign.
The nomination of Mr. Ellis how
ever, was no less a surprise to the
gold-standard adherents in the repub
lican party. His nomination, secured
as It was by a combine with one of the
factions in the Multnomah delegation,
becomes distastful to the opposing fac
tion, and forces them to resent his
election. To the honest sound monry
republicans Mr. Ellis is objectionable,
from the face that every vote he has
cist in congress has been on the side
of silver, and now for him to, stand as
a nominee on what is claimed' to be a
sound-money platform is so lnconsis
tent that they cannot accept him as
their standard bearer. Therefore the
o ily logical course left for them to
p irsue is to nominate an independent
candidate on a straight gold platform.
Neither can Mr. Ellis be entirely sat
isfactory to the free silver contingency
in the republican party. Posing as a
friend of silver, yet standing on an
avowed gold platform, he is, not in a
p:isitjon to hold their confidence, nor
c m he hope to secure their undivided
support.
With this view of the situation there
can be but one logical conclusion.
The contest will be between Judge
Bennett, the regular nominee of the
democratic party, and the independent
candidate of the gold standard repub
licans. Judge Bennett's nomination
was secured without his solicitation.
He was the unanimous choice of the
convention after the adoption of a free
silver' platform. His views on the
financial question are heartily in accord
with the platform, and were well un
derstood when the nomination was
tendered him. He stands squarely for
the free and unlimited coinage of silver
by the United States at the ratio of 16
to 1. On this irsue there can be no ques
tion as to his position, while Mr. Ellis
is hampered by the declaration's of an
alleged gold standard platform. There-
fore there can be but two prominent!
candidates in the coming contest
Judge Bennett and the independent
nominee of the gold-standard republi
cans. ' The issue will be on the finan
cial question, and no candidate who is
hampered in the least on this issue
will be prominently before tbe people.

s ie appears to be one that will not
down, and it is well that the p-oule 1 e
givea an opportunity of giving n
presssion to their vL-ws on this imiM.r
tiint question. If the restoration of
silver will create prosperity and good
times, then that is what is wanted.
That a majority of the democrats- cf
Oregon and Washington believe that
it will, is shown by their expressions
in the state conventions. This idea is
so firmly fixed in their minds that
nothing will remove it but a practu-u
demonstration. Nothing butrheope i
ing of our mints to the free coinage of
silver, and the establishment of silver
monometalisra will convince them of
their error. This idea seems to per
meate the air through the United
States, and the sooner it is tried, and
the financial question is settled finally,
t ib better It will be for the entire

HIS ONE QUALIFICATION.
ELLIS IS RESPONSIBLE.
The Times-Mountaineer has no
excuse to make for the' failure of Day
Bro's., the contractors at the Cascade
Locks, to complete . the government
works at that fIaceon the date prom
ised, or for their failure to more vigor
ously prosecute the work of construc
tion, so that the expectation of the j
people, that the lock wo ild be opened 1
on the 1st of last March, might be re
alized. For these failures the Day
Bros, have earned the severest cen-
sure. But they are not wholly respon
sible for these delays. Those higher
in 'authority than tbey. are the ones on
whom the blame really rests. Either
the Oregon delegation in congress or j
the government engineers are the
parti s responsible. Probably the
later are the ones who have caused
past delays, but if the last appropria
tion of 120.000 is not applicable for the
completion of the walls at the middle
lock, it if the fault of Senator Mitchell
and Representative Ellis, and more
It is urged by some of the supporters
of Hon. W. R. Ellis that he should he
re-elected to congress for the reason
that be win continue in tne luture as
he has in the pist to cast a vote for a
tariff on wool. This is pirade:) as his
single and only qualification as a rep
r -sentative of the second congressional
district of Oregon. Admitting this to
be true,, then Mr. Ellis is the represen
tative of a sintrle interest, one which,
though it is of considerable importance,
is by no means the leading industry of
the district. While wool raising is
extensively engaged . in east of the
Cascade mountains, there are other
branches of agriculture that are of
more importance even - in the great
guzing region. The wheat crop of
the Inland Empire is of vastly mor
value than the wool product, and the
wheat farmers are too entitled to some
consideration at the bands of a mem
ber of congress. The only favors they
can ask at the hands of a congressman
is that all obstructions to the naviga
tion of the Columbia river be removed,
so that the product of their farms can
he carried to market at the least pos
sible cost.
There are three counties in the dis
trict, Multnomah, Columbia and Clat
sop, that have no wool industry, but
every one of them is interested in the
opening of the river from Lewiston to
the Pacific ocean. Therefore there is
at least one matter in which the entire
second district is more interested than
a tariff on wool. And what has Mr.
Ellis done in reference to thii matter?
What has he done to secure the com
pletion of the canal and locks at the
Cascades, or to advance the improve
ment of the river between The Dalles
and Cefilo? Virtually nothing. More
than a year ago the government en
gineers reported that an additional ap
propriation of 9174,000 was needed to
complete the work at the Cascades,
but Mr. Ellis did not bestir himself to
secure such an appropriation until he
was petitioned to do so by the different
commercial bodies in the cities along I tests.
the river. ' Later his attention was
called to the fact that money was
needed to do certain additional work
on the canal, so that the locks could be
operated this season, and he secured
the . passage through the bouse of a
resolution appropriating $20,000 worth
of no'.hing for that emergency. Pos
sibly Mr. Ellis was honest in bis efforts
in this matter, and imagined he was
really doing something to further the
completion of the locks; but if, after
four years of service in eongress, he is
so utterly stupid as to not know when
an appropriation is made that it can
not be made available when drawn
against a fund that is - already ex
hausted, he is too stupid to even claim
recognition for bis one qualification,
that of voting for a tariff on wool.

If the financial plank in the re

The nomination tendered Hon. A. S.
Bennett, of this city, by the democrats
of the second congressional district,
has been formally accepted and Judge
Bennett will enter the campaign as
the standard-bearer of democracy in
this district. .. As a candidate for
congress, Judge Bennett stands before
people as an advocate of the principles
of the free coinage of silver at the
present ratio, and as a representative
of the people, free from the influences
of any fac ion or slao. His attitude on
the question of finance is identical with
the views of a majority of those who
composed the recent state convention

On all other questions of vital impor

with the masses, and his determination

able to those even who do not agree
with him on the financial question, for
in him they recognize a man capable
of representing the state as it should
be represented, one who is honest in
his convictions, and who has both the
C3urage and the ability to defend what
hi believes is risrht.-'
the work is situated, and it was his
duty, when the resolution was intro
duced in the bouse, first to know that
there was money available in the fund
on which it was intended to draw, and
second, to know how the the money
would be expended, if appropriated.
If Mr. Ellis neglected to ascertain
these facts, he has been willfully
neglectful of bis duty, and it is he who
has .retarded the completion of the
locks, the matter now of the greatest
importance to the people of the dis
trict he is supposed to epresent. If
the $20,000 appropriated are not made
available, it i& not the fault of the
Days, but of Mr. Ellis. Whatever
faultmay be found with the contractors
for their inactivity, let the responsibil
ity of work being suspended at the
the locks now rest where it belongs, on
the shoulders of the representative of
the second congressional district, the
Hon. W. R. Ellis.

There is at least one com nendable

It is so plain on the money ggtttfoo,
that "the wayfaring man, though a

Theso are times when any political
party that hopes to succeed, or pre
tends to be honest,- must come out
squarely for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver or for a single gold
standard. A declaration that can be
construed either me' way or the other,
but still means nothing, will not be ac
cepted by the people. A declaration
either for or against silver is demand
ed; no half-way grounds can be taken
The question of finance must be met
fairly and unequivocally. Concerning
this question and the probable nomi
nees of the democratic party, the East
Oregonian makes this statement, which
every clearheaded voter resognizes as
the trute:
"Carlisle will not run "for president
on the democratic ticket unless the
convention which nominates him will
make - a gold standard platform.
Neither will Whitney nor Russell.
But there is Boise, of Iowa.-a verv in
telligent and able man and one with a
fine record. He is in favor of free
silver and if the democratic party
adopts a free silver plank in its plat
form he will likely be the man to stand
upon it. Rather than straddle the
financial question the democratic party
in its national convention had better
declare itself in favor of free coinage.
But if It hopes to remain true to its
record it should declare" .for sound
money of the gold standard kind,
However, the action of the republican
convention at St. Louis on the finan
cial question will largely point out the
way the democratic party will go. In
any event it is to be hoped that a
straddle will not be permitted."
SILVER IN THE AIR.
The silver element in the democratic
state convention of Washington was
fully as pronounced as it waa in the
state convention of this state, and a
platf jrm waa adopted demanding the
free and unlimited coinage of sliver.
The ring of silver seems to be in the
air among the democrats of the coast,
and nothing will satisfy them but a
years orchards have been so infested,
with different pests as to render the
business of fruitgrowing less renumer
atie than it would otherwise have
been. But the members of the state
board of horticulture are undertaking
to overcome this impediment to the
industry, and are preparing to in
augurate a more vigorous campaign
than ever before against fruit pests.
This is indeed commendable, for this
great and growing industry of the
state deserves to have every reasonable
protection and encouragement that
can possibly be extended. Heretofore
the board has not resorted to the harsh
er methods with which they are em
powered under the law, probably for
the reason that orchard is ts were not in
a condition -financially to bear the ex
pense necessary to properly care ftr
and improve their orchards, and the
board have considerately waited for a
ti ne wbeu fruit growers were bett r
able to expend money in tbisdiie ti c .
And too It was necessary, before en
tering vigorously upon the work of ex
terminating pests that public senti
ment should become in sympathy with
the move, that the owners of orchards
hould be brought to realize that a few
l ifested trees in a neighborhood are
liable and almost certain to spread dis
ease to all adjacent orchards, and there
fore the efforts of those desirous to
keep down pests in their orchards are
useless so long as their neighbors are
not alike enterprising. Since this is
generally accepted by all orchardists.
the board will and is receiving the
hearty support of fruit growers every
wherein their efforts to subdue the
pests.
The spirit of enterprise ts so univer
sal among fruit growers all over the
state that the worK or tne ooard is
heartily endorsed, and those xho a
short time ago resented all acts of the
board to compel them to treat their
trees, are now among tne neartiest
supporters of the horticultural law.
So earnest are ' fruit growers in this
matter, and so efficient are the mem
bers of the board, that the period of

In this event, he will have another
plank added to his platform, which
now declares singly for prohibition
There seems to be a pcuse in the
McKinley boom. Can ' it be that a
combination is being formed against
the sham Napoleon of protection?
McKinley stands for nothing but ex
treme protection, which means the
robbery of the few for the benefit of
the many, and it would be a national
calamity for him to become president
of the United States. But before win-
two things to
do first to'in the republican nomina
tion, and then to beat some good demo
crat. Can he do both? .
The indications now are that an in
dependent candidate for congress in
this district will be named by the
sound-money adherents in the demo
cratic and republican parties. ' - The
silver plank In the democratic platform
and the nomination of Ellis leaves the
gold men no choice between congres
sional nominees, hence an effort is
being made to plac a candidate in the
field on a single-standard platform.
Ills not likely' that such a candidate
would receive the support of all single-
standard advocates in either party, for
(here are some w6o believe there are
other issues of as great importance as
the question of finance, but the' result
would be a very accurate test of the
