FOR CAMPAIGN PURPOSES.
Republican managers realize that
trusts are going to be a heavy load for
them to carry in the next national
campaign, and since trust manipula
tors have in the past placed the party
under such deep obligations to them
through liberal donations to campaign
funds, they must be dealt with cautious
ly while the people are being satisfied,
hence the managers have devised a
: plan for dealing with the trust prob
. lem, solely for campaign purposes,
which according to the dispatches, is
. as follows:
"The president early in the coming
session of congress, should submitt a
special message dealing exclusively
f with truets, and making a recommen
dation that congress pass a joint reso
v lution providing, for an amendment
to the constitution which will allow
. ' congress to deal with trusts. It should
Doint out that the Sherman anti trust
" law Las been found inoperative be
' cause it cannot enter the borders of a
state and can only be used in inter
state commerce. It will point out that
this law has been ineffective, and
wherever an attempt has been made to
make it effective a constitutional
. question has arisen, which the supreme
' court has passed upon, making it lm
. possible to deal with yast combinations
of capital which have arisen in late
veara. as a serious menance to the
wealth of the country. It will be sug-
jested, if the scheme is carried out,
that congress at once propose this
: constitutional amendment, enpower-
ing it to legislate upon the combina'
, lion of capital, truets and other cor
porations. . The amendment may be
indefinite; it need not specify how con
gress shall legislate, leaving to con
gress to determine what laws shall bo
necessary.
"The political advantage to the re
publican party in such a move is
pointed out as being an effective check
upon the demonstrations of the demo-
' crats. The republicans will claim an
honest desire to deal with the subject
of trusts in a logical and constitution
al way. If the democrats oppose the
proposed constitutional amendment, it
- can be asserted by the republicans
that tbey are doiDg all the talking in
an impractical manner, and have no de
sire to carry out their professions. At
all events, the republicans could pro
pose It and support it. As this reso-
- lution would need a two-thirds vote
, in each bouse, demo -ratic votes would
be necessary to pas it, and if is de
feated it would be by the democratic
votes. The passage of the rerolutin
would not demand any further tie.
by congress until the constitutional
amendment was ratified. The ratifica
tion would have to be by three-fourths
of the states. Is would probably "be
. voted upon at the ensuing national or
state elections which would not oc
cur until the first Tuesday in Novem
ber, 1900 upon that very day the presi
dent would be chosen for the ensuing
four years. Thus would the republi
cans tide over until after the presiden
tial election any' actual legislation
upon the subject of trusts, save as it
gave the' people an opportunity to
declare that they wanted such legis-
lation. The republicans would be in
a position to say that they were taak
ing an honest effort to deal with the
subject of trusts, and they had gone
about it in a safe and practical manner,
first securing a constitutional authority
to legislate on the subject before pas
sing laws which the courts would de
clare unconstitutional.''
This is clearly a plan of politicians,
a plan to deceive voters with no in
tention of doing anything to bamper
the trusts. It is only a makeshift to
tide over another campaign. Such
humbugs ought to be seen through by
all. .
than Otis whom the president is
shielding at least till after the next
national contention is held? This
wi ui;! be just like Mr. Mi;Kiniey.
"O.Oy one thing is certain, that the
t ': ct has been made the tool of
.-nsri - guilty parties of great influence,
to i ov.-r up a great wrong, in the hope
i'f preventing a scandal that would be
injurious to some of his political
friends. But i. is now becoming &
scandal that attaches itself to the i J
ministration. 'Tis ten thousand pines
that the president of this great re
public cannot be a i-iucere, outspoken
and definitely, positively and cour
ageously honest man."
we will continue to see our trade I Piatt, the bo?s of New York, rather
gradually slipping away from us unless
something is done to prevent it. We
have none too much trade now, and
the sooner something is done to pre
vent the loss of what we have, the
better it will be for the business in-,
terests of the city.
"FRENCH" JUS TICE."
Justice in France has never been hi-M
in too high esteem, for a man acci:- l
of crime has been held to be i-"iiiy
until he could prove his innt .-:. se,
hence it is little wonder tbu i.apt.
Dreyfue has again been conyivted and
sentenced tn imprisonment lor ten
years. The French army ha 1 select
ed him as a victim to be mad): an ex
ample of. Irreu'arities had in curred
by which the German govern ment had
secured information which it should
not have. Somebody bad to be
punished. Dreyfus was selected be
cause he was a Jew and supposed to
be without influence. No power on
earth could have prevented his con
viction at the drat trial, and it occurs
that buman power was unable to save
Dim at the second.
Had Dreyfus been tried before an
American or English court-martial he
would have- been acquitted, for there
was ro positive proof of his guilt.
The evlder.cn adduced was not con
clusive, but he ww accused of crime
bv men high in the French army, and
no further evidence was necessary.
Th'.s is a result of militarism to
which this country is fast drifting.
France is a strong military power,
in which the army has almost com
Dlete control of the government. It
is a republic only in name, and in
such a government justice is lost
sight of. Ambition of men supersedes
right, and revenge is supreme. A
government that thus subordinates
everything to the military power be
comes despotic, and the rights of
citizens are considered of little ac
count. Justice as administered in the
Dreyfus case is what may be expected
in every country where the army gets
the upper hand of the civil authorities.
LETS LOOK Al HOME.
Americans are generally indignant
because Dreyfus has been convicted of
a crime of which they believe him in
nocent, and are severely, though justly,
criticising the French government for
its apparent lack of regard for the
rights of a citizen. But perhaps while
we are criticising France tor its failure
to give Dreyfus a fair and impartial
trial, we might look at home and dis
cover some missarriage of justice,
though of a different sort from that
practiced in the French republic
Dreyfus was convicted for having given
away secrets of the French army, and
if guilty, though guilt was not satis
factorily proven, should be punished
And the chief executive of the Ameri
can republic or at least his underlings,
those holding positions under his ap
pointment, are guilty of no less offense,
for tbey, no doubt working under in
structions from the chief executive,
allowed a representative of the British
army to' examine our forts and de
fenses, a privilege never extended to
any private American citizen. If the
act for which Dreyfus was convicted
was a crime against the French gov
ernment, what was the act of those
who permitted a British officer to ex
amine into every detail of our coast de
fenses and make maps of the same?
And again we have some objects of
miscarried justice in the cases of Ea
gan and Carter. The former con victed
by a court-martial of conduct unbe
coming a soldier, but rewarded for his
perfidy by being suspenaed on full pay
by order of the president. The latter
convicted of stealing over a milliou
and a half dollars from the govern
ment, yet retaining his commission in
the army because some body has strings
on the president that prevents him
from sending the derelist captain to
the penitentiary. If we would criti
cise France for convicting a man with
out evidence of guilt, why should we
not condemn our officials for not en
forcing punishment upon men who
have been clearly convicted of crime?
If France is rotten to the extent that
an accused man can be convicted with
out fair trial, in what condition are we
getting when men are convicted of
crime and be rewarded? And to what
etate of degredation have we fallen
when our chief executive or his ap
pointees will invite to our country the
representative of a foreign power and
possible enemy and show to him every
detail of our defense?
We justly, censure France for the
conviction of Drefus, and say that na
tion is corrupt, but whit about our
own? Is it not tinged with corruption
and dishonesty? We have Dreyfus and
France, McKin ley and Hanna, Eagan
and Carter, and wonder "who struck
Billy Patterson," anyway.
SAME OLD FOLLY.
Another full carload of hams, bacon
and lard arrived last week at Colfax
from Omaha. These products the
merchants will sell to farmers in the
Palouse country, and the money paid
for them will be a direct and everlast
ing loss to this section.
This means that the farmers in the
Pal.-use are paying the Missouri or the
Iowa farmer for his corn, for his labor
of feeding it to the hogs, his profit,
th-i profit of the stock buyer who ships
the hogs to Omaha, the railroad
charge- from tl..- 'arm to m:tha. the
cost of packing : d the pucker's profit,
the freight :I.:.rges from Omaha to
Colfax, and the profits of the jobber
and t be retaflei .
This is the best farming and stock
country on earth, aud at a time when
more or Ics- wheat damaged by rains
will be unsalable, and fit only to be
fed to stock.
How long will this piece of extrava
gance continue? How long must we
see trainloads of pork products, eggs,
poultry, butter and cheese coming
2000 miles or more over plains and
mountains, and millions of dollars
which ought to be kept at home sent
east to pay for these products which
should be produced on our own fertile
soil? Spokesman-Review.
This is indeed an old folly, and
exists all over the coast, but it is one
that will probably not be speedily
corrected It appears to be a waste to'
ship food hslf way across the continent
that could as well be raised here, and
in fact it is a waste for the farmers to
buy hog products from abroad if they
can produce them as readily at home.
But the farmer is not wholly to blame
for our markets not being supplied
with domestic b&ms, etc. The con
sumers are partially at fault for not
being sufficiently sectional to prefer
home products to things imports.
For instance, two fine ham, one a
home product and the other from
Chicago or St. Louis, may be offered
to the purcbaser, and nine times out
of ten he will select the imported one
even if he has to pay more for it,
Biraply because it came from abroad.
When consumers demand home prod
ucts and give them a preference over
all others, producers will see to it that
the folly of shipping meats from the
Mis9i-sppi valley no longer exists.
When people get the idea in their
heads that anything produced at home
is better than that coming from j
abroad, and will have none other than
home products, the producer will see
to it that their demands are supplied,
and not till then will we cease import
ing.
THJS TIM HER RESEin'ES.
Stockmen throughout Eastern Ore
gon are naturtlly soiuewnao agitated
over the action of the interior depart
ment in closing the Raineer limber re
serve to sheep, and fear that a similar
order will be issued in regard to the
Cascade reserve in this slate, for
should such an order be made it will be
a, death blow to the stock interests of
a large 'section of country that is use
less for any other purpose than stock
raising, should the sheep be excluded
from the Cascade mountains during
the summer they will be ranged on the
open country, and as a consequence
will starve all other stock, and will not
thrive themselves Such an event
would result in the destruction of the
stock business in Wasco, Sherman,
Wheeler, Crook, Lake and Klamath
counties.
There is a portion of the Cascade
timber reserve from which sheep
should be excluded and tbey are for
bidden to range tbereon at present.
It is that portion north of White river,
which is tributary to an extensive
farming section, hut south of thai to
the California line there is do reason
why sheep should not be permitted to
range. The timber is all resinous,
and f a nature which sheep cannot in

feed udoo if. nor can they tramD the

should be laid before the department
inaconci-e manner, and if need be

r . ITS SLIPPING AWAY.
A few days since three carloads of
Prineville freight passed up the road
en route to Moro, from which place it
will be hauled by wagon to Prine
ville. There would be no particular
iiupurwiuco w bum wero iu uub lur but)
.' fact that The Dalles has heretofore
been the distrubiting point for all of
' the country tributary to Prineville,
, and when the forwarding business for
that section is lost to The Dalles it
- means the loss of a whole lot of trade
which freighters bring here.
That there is an inducement for
Prineville merchants to ship their
goods by way of Moro there can be
no question else, they would continue
' shipping by The ' Dalles. There is
either better freight rates from Port
land to Moro than to The Dalles, or
there is better facilities for forward
ing from Moro than there is from this
place. The latter is most likely the
naiion . ThaM ia Anlv inn .n.

tween Prineville and Moro, while
there are two between Prineville and
The Dalles. This is an inducement
. for the freighters to go to the former
place, and it should at the same time
be something of an inducement for
. The Dalles to put forth an effort to
secure freer means of conveyance be
tween this place ana Prineville. How
this can be done is a question The
Dalles must answer sooner or later,
for it cannot well afford to lo9e the
trade of the country south of here, It
baa been suggested in these columns
that a free road be built by way of the
old Maupin ferry on Deschutes, but so
far this proposition' has met with no
response, and it is now loo late in the
season to make any move in that direc
tion this year, but there is another
proposition that may be taken ad-
" vantage of In oraer to noia tne trade
from Prineville, It is to improve
the Warm Spring road, so that it will
;- be practicable. On this route there
ia no toll except the ferriage, and
freighters say they would as willingly

UlU vw - --
this road were improved, It is said
that only a few hundred dollars would
be required to put the Warm Spring
road in as good condition as the

trade coul d be retai n ed.

The Portland Telegram is an ad
ministration to the extent that it is
owned and controlled by a republican
coporation, and endorses almost every
thing done by that party, but occa
sionally it gives the president a swipe
that evidences the fact that the Tele
gram as well as the Oregonian would
like to send an anti-McKinley delega
tion from this state to the next re
publican national convention. But
after McEinley is renominated, which
he surely will be, the Telegram will
give him its hearty support, though it
will be a little difficult to explain away
such expressions as the following that
appeared in its editorial columns'
"In spite of the assertion of Captain
Carter's innocence, and the vague and

The Civic Federation now in session
at Chicago is one of those conventions
where flowery speeches are to be made,
where orators' can blow off their pent
up steam, and after it is all over
nothing will have been accomplished.
The purpose of the conference is pre
sumably to consider trusts, and sug
gest methods for their control, but
since the convention is composed
principally of the friends of trusts
nothing very drastic will be suggested.
What will be accomplished was pretty
well outlined in the address of Prof,
Adams, of the university of Michigan
on the opening day, in which he said
"Industrial combinations, whatever
their form, whatever, their purpose,
whatever their explanation, are mat
ters of public concern. It is said that
we do uot know enough of this new
form of industrial organization to
judge properly respecting it. If this
be true, and if, on this account, trusts
are to be allowed a probationary
existence, it is the plain duty of the
government to hold them, meantime.
to strict account.
"If trusts are what they claim, that
is to say, vanguards of a new industrial
organization which holds within itself
great industrial benefits, the sooner
this fact is recognized by the public,
the better for all concerned. If, on
the other band, there is danger in ex
treme application of this form of
organization, the government certain
ly has the right to possess itself of
facts necessary for judicial opinion and
for effective legislation."
Ibere are so many "ifs" in this
effusion that it is clear to see that
Prof. Adams neither upholds or con
demns industrial combinations. He
don't know if they are good or bad, or
if he does, he has not the stanina to
give voice to his convictions, and this
will be about the tenor of the senti
ment expressed by the master minds
who have assembled to wrestle with
the problem of what shall be done to
control trusts. They will all have
something to say, but they will be so
afraid of offending the combines that
when they adjourn no definite con
clusion will be arrived at. The con
ference will simply be a waste of time j

that trusts are yet too new to form

It is encouraging to note that Pen

to foster "glove contests," (more prop
erly called prize fights.) The East

more so-called "glove contests" in

"pulled off" recently gave such poor
satisfaction to the sporting spirit of
Pendleton that little encouragement
for such exhibitions can be secured in
future, and this is well. The air. of the
prize ring is not invigorating, and it
is not the best air for a healthy com
munity to inhale. Those who live and
revel in it are deficient in sensibility
and somewhat short of the decencies,
bearing upon their countenances the
mark of the hull dog rather than that
of the man. The "manly art" excites
admiration in theory and during ex

things professional, the brutalities
commence to crop out as soon as an
attempt is made to get money from it

brute force carry a man at a merry

lingly perpetrate an injustice. These
threats of boycotts against France
which will be heard for the next tow
days in different parts of the United
States are foolish, and there will be no
attempt to carry them out. In fact
the word boycott has come to have a
hateful sound to American ears. It
suggests walking delegates, dynamite,
explosions under street cars filled with
innocent persons, house burnings,
assaults on t physicians and druggists
who give medicine to the dying wives
or children of persons under the ban
of the boycotters, and other vicious
and ridiculous individuals and prac
tices. In talking about this French
miscarriage of justice, Americans
snonld . also endeavor - to keep their
heads.

The St. Lou is Globe-Democrat pub
lishes the following sensible editorial
concerning the talk of boycotting
France.
The tbreatp which come from various
parts of the United States of boycotts
against France are silly, for several
reasons. A society in Kansas City, for
example, has passed resolutions pledg
ing themselves "not to visit the terri
tory of the French Republic, buy or
handle any merchandise or other-thing
manufactured or grown in any terri
tory or possession of the said republic
until the truth of the Innocence of
Capt. Alfred Dreyfus Bhall be made
known to the world by a fair aod im

Comments on -their Exclusion
From Forest Reserve.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson was
three days in Oregon recently, and
after giving the matter careful thought
from the balcony of the Hotel Port
land, states that sheep are ruinous to
the forest reserves ajd must be ex
cluded therefrom. He likely got his
opinions at second hand from those
who have special interest in the exclu.
sion of sheep, or are simply theorists
like himself. The opinions of men
who have spent years in the forest re
serve and seen and know the effects of
grazing are worthless to them.
This threatened expulsion of sheep
from the reserves and leasing of range
are measures aimed directly at the
sheep industry. Cattle and horses
roam at will on the reserves, and can-
A WORD TO THE WISE.
A Talk on the Proper Place to Purchase
Certain Articles.
If you wish your life insured, go
to an insurance agent; if you wish to
buy fruit trees.go to a reliable nursery
man, don't call on a tombstone man,
but if you need a little stone-work, go
to a stone cutter.
There are Beveral agents of more or
less responsibility traveling through
Oregon and Washington representing
themselves to be marble dealers aod
first class workmen in all stone work,
and who do not know the first thing
about the trade. They are a detri
ment to the honest.hard working stone
cutter and the people who have to pay
for the work. One of these inscription
agents is now in jail in The Dalles for
swindling the people out in the country.
Both Mr. Comini aud Mr. Weeks, of
this city, are good workmen and their
work that graces our cemeteries will
testify as to their superior skill. Mr.
Comini was employed 13 years ago in
New York City by the Vanderbilt's in
the erection of their family tomb,
while Mr. Weeks learned hie trade in
Portland in his father's place of busi
ness.
Coiuini & Weeks make a specialty
of granite monuments both of foreign
and domessic, and bave recently
erected fine monuments of domestic
granite over the graves of the late Mr.
D. Jones, of Anteiope, Dietrich and
Stegman, of Goldendale, Mr Gosser
and Mr. Morgan, of The Dalles and a
number of others throughout the
country.
This firm has been established here
for over 5 years and has erected some
of finest monuments in this section of
the country, and all their work carries
with it the guarantee of the firm.
