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

' 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.
