Iloscoo' if) only one of jnnny republicans that will do tho t'uiiv, tiring. John P. Irinh, of tlin Him Fnmcixco Attn, witH in iittoiitliinee tit tlio (luino cratii! convention in Pendleton this week. He addressed the citizens, of that, place, in a speech, last Wednesday cvcninir. The motive power of the street rail way at Tacoina is to he electricity. As a motive power electricity ia fast coming to the front. It will soon su percede steam in driving all kindu of small machinery. We are pleased to nolo that the busi ness men of the town are taking an interest in the hoard of trade, and that it will soon liecome a great power in the nphnilding of the town. In Un ion there is strength. The Topcka, Kansas Capital says: "A dozen men with energy, courage and sense and a little money can take almost any railroad crossing in the country and bnild up a thriving city if they have a good advertiser." The Capital is correct. (iov. Pennoycr has written a letter to Washington stating that he did not propose to make a light for the United States Kenatorship. Jle states that ho wotdd accept the place if it were ten dered liim litit that lie would not make a struggle for it. It is heart-rending to see the million aire representatives of great industries going about crying that they will he "ruined" if brought into competition with people !!tM)0 miles away under anything l.ss protective than a 17 per cent, tarid". Can't the farmers and la boring men of (he country manage to pnrtcct t huso poor devils a little while longer? Those who are successful in business freely advertise in their local newspa pers. Others do not believe iti prin ter's ink and lag behind, as they jde Herve. They expect the newspapers to do them benefit, but they contribute no benefit in return. The city or com munity which neglects to fairly anil judiciously advertise, neglects its surest road to name, importance and wealth. The Republican County Convention will meet in this city to-morrow. We are in hopes that all peivonal and lo cal dNscutious will be laid aside, and that a ticket of good, honest, capable men will lie nominated. In that event, no matter what the result of the elec tion in June may be, the people can rest assured that the all'airs of the county, for the next two years, at least, will be carried on in a proper manner. In a speech R. (J. Ingersoll once said : "1 want vim to go away with an eternal hatred in your breast of injus tice, of aristocracy, of caste, of the idea that one man has more rights than another because he has better clothes, more land; because he owns a, rail road, or is infamous, or in high posi tion. Kcmcmhcr that all men have equal rights. Remember that the man who acts best hw part, who loves ins friend the best, is most willing to I help others, truest to the discharge of obligation, who has the best heart, the most feeling, the deepest sympathies, and who freely gives to others the right he claims for himself is the best man. I am willing to swear to this." An exchange truthfully says: "The i style for this year will be independent voting. It is the right of every free born American citizen to vote for whom he chooses, without regard to party. The practice of scratching the ticket Iiiih increased, and is increasing at every campaign. It shows that he has oi.mmb s...isa in M,iw.t ., r..i , , , , , , , .. :.: stale railway coinnitloners, wliereliv for himself, and on tho same principle j i,oy xx-111 bo a court to adjudicate dif that lie dnen his owii(tliiiikiug, hij pin--1 feroiices which may urUu between poses to do hs own votinir. When i men come to east aside the flimsy gauze of party obligation, and exercise their moral right to vote as they think, then will ringsters and political job bers be forced to abandon their selfish schemes. Republicans as well as Dem ocrats must pursue independent meth ods of voting, if .they would escape the jobs which the corruptionists of both iwrlii biennially put up for their endorsement. LAW. PJiACTICE. Tim peculiarities of law prnclicc crop out quite frequently. The Chronicle mentions one in San Francisco lately in saying that was a good point in the use of language which Attorney How ry innde when he argued Hint" fe male" dons not always mean 'wo man." The district attorney had charged an alleged procuress wilh the offense of "importing a female." whereas the law says correctly "',m. porting a woman," This is Viniply r specimen of cntelcssncss in drawing indictments which allow a large num ber of criminals to escape every year. When Iho Minplc using of the term "female" instead of "woman" can ho twisted into allowing hardened criminals to escape the penalty of their iniquitious proceedings, proof positive of which is apparent, the proceedings of the courts become a travesty upon justice, and common sense, reason and every dictate of decent humanity supinely aeqiiiesr-o in the behests of sin and criminal wrong doing. If the technical rendering of tho words ot a statute can rob the law of its plain and unequivocal meaning, then there is no safely or justice. Common sense should have one little niche in even the law proceedings of humanity. vnoimuTiox convention. Tho' state prohibition convention met in Portland March 20th. The committee on platform and resolutions siiDiimicd a report,, which, alter con siderable discussion , was adopted with some niodillcation. Substantially the platfo.un declares against the manufacture, sale and use of all intoxicants; advocates the dis franchisement of paupers, illiterates, and convicted criminals and abolish ing the sex basis in (be exercise of (he elective franchise. It favors (he res toration of all unearned land grants; advocates the maiiitaiuaiice of tho prin ciples of the inter-slate commerce law; favors the election of United Slates senators by a direct vote of Hie peo ple; declares modern "trust" and Other combinations as being conspira cies against the commonwealth; favors the abolishment of the internal reve nue and the correction of inequalities, and the elimination of the unjust dis crimination of tho present tariff sched ule. It advocates the prohibition of the importation of Icontract labor ; to proveutthe landing, so far as possible, of all socialists, anarchists, criminals and paupers, and to so amend the naturalization laws as (o make longer residence one of the conditions of citi zenship. Prof. !. M. .Miller was unanimous ly nominated for congress. The uoiu iualiiin for supreme judge was left to the executive committee. Dr. A. C. Kinney, of Astoria, I. F. Rump, of Douglass county, and T. F. Campbell, of Poll: county, were nominated as presidential electors Tho delegates to the national prohihi tion convention were selected, and the state central committee, after which tho convention adjourned sine die. TllK PIjA Tl'OIiM. A correspondent writing to a Port land paper from Pendleton under date of April !lrd, speaks a follows of t lie platform that will in all probablitv bi adopted by tho convention. ii me lemper oi ine commiiico on resolutions be auv guide to the cnti- incnt of the convention, thoiv will be no temporizing witn me tartll ques tion, immediately alter the l M. adjournment tlio committee went to work in Wager' line olHco in the new Hunt Orcaoniau building. A lull and free discussion of national and state matters ensued, and unexpected unanimity on the tariff question was developed. Then other matters came up. and in two hours the several pro posed planks alter tho general policy or tlio coinuilltee nail lieen outlined, were given to tlio different members as sub-coiiimittees to gel into suitable shape. Uy careful inquiry your correspond inn is outlined to state tutu (lie com mittee will report, as tho principal plank of tho platform, unequivocal endorsement of tlio administration, ami ills not. uiiMUelv, a specilie en dorseinent of Cleveland's tarilf views as expressed in his message to con gress. The committeemen were more than surprised when Waller of Lake and Trovilllou of linker, roprosoiiting sneep-raisiiig counties, offered no ob jection to such specilie endorsement. The committee is unanimous in fa vor of a plank endorsing Cleveland's message relative lo forfeiture of (he unearned wagon road laud grants Mother plunk will demand that the H'Wiitiiiu confer laig-er power on the mi ,n" ' ""U"" "." Clipper n in I tlvo lo rates, and make tho eouuniss , loners act. Until mid without appeal ; or conferring on tho commission power to make freight rales and re : duce tho present rales where the eoin . mission may consider (hem exorbitant. ' Another plank will demand of the . legislature that it shall devise mean 1 to make iho Columbia river mi open river, oil her directly or by inference calling ni tho logislnturo to provide means Tor building a portage rullwav at (ho CiiMMidos ami tho Tho Dalle. ' Aifothor plank will treat of the pensions matter, declaring Hud the pension roll shol.'bea roll of honor, but that it should .bo established on a sound business basis, so as not to bd a burden to the country. . Col. Irish's speech Jo-night was in i harmony with tho views of the com- niittce "on platform. His remarks were very skillfully worded, and he was careful to offend no one, cither high tariff democrats or free trade republicans. It was (he persuasive , argument of ti e shrewd Dohtiehn. ' evidently inf.ntc, to prcpnro no l,m,(,e. .r wool-growers to reccv,. n,,d urtopt the prohident'4 tiv'iif views, lie took great pains lo impress the fact that (he agricultural interests were the only interests that Cleveland real ly cared for, and managed, without making it too apparent, to Hatter the fanners' vanity. I suspect that Col. Irish inspired the tariff plank to be submitted to-morrow, if indeed his pen did not write it. Possibly ho on ly counseled. Ilis mission to Oregon now seems dear to make tho speech and to see that Cleveland's views were endorsed. Irish got a tremen dous burst of applause when he de clared tlio president's public land pol icy lo have been characterized by the inspired writer nearly Ihirtv centuries ago, when ho described the perfect ruler by saying: 'The house of the unjust shall he uproot, but he will es tablish tho landmarks of the poor." 11:30 P. M. The comiiiitleo on platform has just finished its labors, and nothing remains except to tran scribe the resolutions. They will be presented proinpllv. Tlinri ic 1iH In tt twirl ( r ll'liuf line been foreshadowed above. The tariff plank unequivocally endorses Clove- land' s views as oxprescd in his mes sage lo congress. Penuover's admin istration is endorsed, and there is a plank demanding a constitutional amendment electing senators by a di rect vote of the people. The plank about stale control of railroads will simply demand (hat the commission, as at present constituted, have abso lute power to fix rates.
