4& THE OREGON SCOOT. AMO.S K. JONES KDITOU, City and County Official Paper. Friday, July 13th, JS88, EDITORIAL 2T0TJSS. Tin: act of congress puniidiing by u fine nnd inij)risoiiincnt tiny porton sending n iostnl card through the mail containing menacing or insulting language is now in force. A limit ought to be placed upon the immigration of the Chincno to the United .States if indeed that immi gration ought not to be stopped alto gether. Am.kn (!. Tnuit.MA.v, in the Senate, 187!). MrtH. Vaazk Wilcox is the only per boii born in the White Jlouhc. She was the only daughter of President Jaekt-on's adopted n, and was born in the presidential mansion during the administration of "Old Hickory." It is charged that the Mills bill is sectional and unfair in that it favors the southern sugar making interest as against the wool interest of the north. Texas is the largest wool growing state in the union. It produces mote wool than all New England, New York and Pennsylvania combined. How is this? Ci.kvki.ani saved the settlers of the West from encroachment upon their farms by the great railway thieves, and this fact will not be forgotten by the bono and sinew of the land that makes up the great mass of tho voters, and they will conlide in him all over country to protect them from imposi tion of monopolists. Jilt. 0i.i:vi:i.ani is the only leader in the country in tho past quarter of a ccutury who has found hiimelf strong er at the end of his term than at tho beginning, whom his party has taken up a second time, who went into tho convention with n ununimuus vote be hind him, and without the slightest speck of opposition. AriM.KtiATi:, in his speech Monday night, said that the republican party brought President Cleveland into prominence by electing him Oovernor of New York in order to kill oil Kol ger. The scheme, it seems, has acted something like Mark Twain' Allen pistol. Jt scattered, killing Jim Maine and making a eripplo of the republi can party for life. Tiik Commissioner of tho General Land OH'tce has just completed a tab ulated statement showing that the total amount of land returned to the public domain, and opened to entry and settlement since the -1th of March, 1880, is 80,(!)(),720 acres. Also a statement showing tho total amount recommended by tho Land Ollice for restoration, which is still ponding, amounting to lf,-U0,0f8. A HTitoxti ofl'ort has been made by tho republican advocates of high tat ill' taxation to create the impression that the proposed removal of the taiill' on wool has already lowored its price. Hut tho quotations in tho Hostou mar ket show that prices are about tho same as last year and the year before. As reported in llradstreot's for Juno 2, tho pi ice of Texas wool is only one cent lower than it was in 18S7 and 1880, and that of lino Ohio delaine and No. 1 combing is tho same as in Piiksidknt Ahtiiuu was a republi can, elected by republican votes. Did his party kick when tho following ap peared in his last message to congiess "I recommend an enlargement of the free lit, so as to include within the numerous articles which yield incon siderable revenue, a simplification of the complex and inconsistent schedule of duties upon certain manufactures, particularly those of cotton, iron and steel, and a substantial reduction of the duties upon those articles, and upon sugar, molasses, wool and woolen goods." Tjie San Francisco lixaminer says: "Tho platform demands protection. Protection to what? Labor and capi tal? That was tho question that re mained to bo settled irrevocably by tho nomination of Ilenjamin J. Har rison. Wo triitst we shall bo spared any personal scandals in this cam paign. There will, however, certainly bo no need of personal slanders, when there is such a public record as Har rison's to discuss, California has never had an opportunity to show, unmistakably, her opinion of a pro Chinese candidate. This year wo shall hnvo a square chanco at one man whom California robublioans, in 1632, Hwore nover to forget." SKXATOll SIUCIIMAN SPKAKH. Senator Sherman in a speech de livered at Cincinnati on the Gth inst. said : 1 do not want to make any long speeches; this is not the place for them. Loud eii'S of "Go on." No, I won't, at least, not to any length, Hut, gen tlemen, there inane thing I mtrnt speak to you about. I don't want to ting in any politic?, and 1 will not, boniusf I know that 1 would uiller witn some ol you, "No, you won't. Let's have it." lint I won't. There is, however, one thing that effects you and tho whole country, and that is the surplus in tho treasury. Which has accumulated there under the solons at Washington and tome who tin! are not solons. This I do not want to be considered as coming from a political point. I5ut you all know how much good that im mense sum could do if it was let looso here. Yon could use it, I am certain. The great question i how to get it. I believe that all parties admit that it is poor policy t( have so much sur plus in the trcn.-ury, and that what wo need is just enough funds on hand to answer the purposes of the govern ment, eccnomicallv conducted. The only way to decrease this is to reduce the revenue. 1 believe you have fie quently heard President Cleveland say this, and 1 think you can find frequent references to it in Mr. .Sherman's speeches. Wo agree upon this one point, but there is an honest difference as to bow it shall be done. The all im portant question is what taxes shall be cut and what remain. I want (lie rev enue cut to the standard of the re quirements of tho governmrnt, the same as it was when I entered Congress thirty-four years ago. It is a subject everybody is interested in, and all have their methods, lint I am getting into politics. "Go on; that's all right," from a sere of voices. Not any fur ther this time. It's too deep n sub ject. Hut I will say that Congress ought to take action on it right away and settle the question before going any further. This in the time right now, and il is that body.s prompt ac tion that will relievo us. This fact is appreciated no better in any part of the country than in the (iieen city of the West yes, I may say with especial emphasis just now, the (iieen city of the country. The manly utterances of John Sher man if put in practical operation will insure the election of Cleveland and Thurman. If be will father a measure to reduce tho taxes to what they weie when he entered Congress thirty-four years ago, he will do his country the greatest service of his life. When Mr. .Sherman was secretary of the treasury ho occupied substantially the same po sition on the tariff question that (Move land now occupies, but Sherman as a politician and Sherman as secretary of the treasury have been two distinct and different men, as much so as Sherman as a presidential aspirant and Sherma n as a citizen addressing his neighbors at Cincinnati could possibly be, and since he can no longer hope to bo the nominee of Ins party for the piesidency of tho United Slates, it is earnestly hoped and believed that he will, ere the close of tho present campaign raise his voice in honest protest against a policy which, if successful, willl cer tainly destroy our American institu tions, by fostering a consolidation and combination of capital, to tho distrac tion of the unprotected industries of our people. That Sherman and the belter element of his party will enter their emphatic protest against the embryo policy of the element that has thiough manipulation and intrigue gained the ascendency, we have every reason to hope ami believe. They can not be blind to the disastrous results that must follow the inauguration of the policy indicated by the Chicago platform. SlUXFCAXT STIIA )VS, The P.oston I 'Hot, which, under tho editorship of John Uoyle ()' Ueilly , is the leading Irish-American paper in tho eountrv, opposed Mr. Cleve land in 18SI, bulls now strongly in favor of his re-election. In its last issuo it thus speaks of tho President: There is not a sincere Democrat in the country with whom principle is deeper than personality, who does not profoundly believe that Mr. Cleveland is the best man tho Demo cratic party could nominate, and that ho deserves the great place lor his wise, thin and magnanimous course during the past four years. The mistakes of the" Democratic ad ministration have not been in tho President's mistakes, Some of tho men ho selected for his cabinet have hampered his work and most gravely threatened the stability ot tho Demo cratic party. Hut these men were in truth more tho choice of tho parly itself than of the President. Mr. Cleveland will lead an undivid ed national party to the polls. His opponents have not a man lurgo enough to show again.! him, now that Hlainc i out or the Held. We shall march onward to a DoiiioctmiIo victory thai must result in such h re iifliruiHtiou tif Democratic loyalty to nrlnclplcs as the fttllior of the repub lic would approve nnd tlio future will endorse.

It siiys: The Journal uollevu, that upon tin question thu Douiyvmilu policy nnd , platform are right , and the 1'epnbli ' can policy and platform are wrong J It had hoped that the party in conven j tion would declare for ti reasonable revision of tlio tariff, in the line of a . reduction in theco't of the nccessa ' t ies of life, the relief of manufactures, a more open market and a practical revival of mir commerce. It has not done so. The Democratic party has. It is a question of National policy overshadowing all others. The ' mil i not blind to the shortcomings of Iho Administration of President Cleve land. n,it it must take things as it finds them, choosing what it believes to be Hie right side of the main issue preferring principle to party, practical wisdom to local popu larity; and standing for what it be lieves to be tho best welfare of the whole eountrv. Mr. Samuel Douglass, formerly a l.epublican, and later on State Secre tary of the Indiana Orecabaekers and Independents, when interviewed by the Sentinel as to the strength of Mr. Harrison in Indiana, said: There are 20,000 independent voters in Indiana, and they consist mostly of tlio remains of ibe old Greenback par ty. They will vote solidly against Mr. Harrison. They are very bitter against liiin because of bis having 'called ihem "idiots and (it subjects I Imp u Ittnof iii MLvltim ' ' iti fluk itmioca if ll t lllllUIIv till llllll ill t iii; IMll .11, wi a speech delivered at Martinsville, In diana, in I87(i. The Greeubaekcrc of Indiana will consider it their dutv to turn out for Cleveland as against Har rison. The policy of the present Administration has also been very acceptable to the Greenback party, the tariff views of the two parties being almost, coincident. Tlio manner in which the Ailniiui-I ration lias been paying off bonds is also approved by our parly. Other Grconbackers whom Sentinel reporters encountered during the af ternoon talked in a similar strain , and asserted that the men who had allied themselves with the Greenback move ment a tew years ago would vote as it unit against General Harrison. " Won't some of I hem support him through Stale pride?'' was asked. 'They don't care anything about State pride," was the ready answer. ' 'It is enough lor tin in to know that they were called idiots and fools bv Ibis man whom the licptthlicaus have nominated for President, and they'll have none ot'liini, ' ' SethLow, of P.rooklyn, a reform Republican of the first merit and great prominence in New York, an nounces himself for Cleveland. Mr. Low was proposed as a Presidential candidate bin-self, and a correspond ent said ot iiiin : While the politicians at Chicago are getting their forces together for the great competing struggle, allow an outsider to siignest that the name of Seth Low of lirooklyn would unite Ilium. It scenis to me that name would calm their troubled spirits and bring together all the torces that would be against Cleveland. With such a man it the bead of the liepub liean ticket inethiiiks there would be no question about carrying New York Slate, and with New Yoik all tho balance of the States which voted for ltlaiue in 1SKI . Hut Seth Low's inllueiicc is on the Democratic side this year. THE CIIIXESIC KICXTUIICXT. The following telegram to (he ew York Hirnld, dated Helena, M.T.. Juno 2i). 1NSS, will show the position taken bv tho Chinese in this campaign. It says: Chin Wah I'oo, a wealthy Chinese tea merchant, of San Francisco, is in Helena on a visit to his brother Chang I'oo. Chin Wah is an intelligent gen tleman, who speaks Fnglish fluently. Ho has a knowledge of the affairs of the leading governments possessed by few A nigricans, lie takes a keen in terest in the political situation and claims to have taken out his naturali zation papers. lie was seen by a llvrtthl correspondent, who asked him about Harrison's chances for carrying the Golden Slate. He said that no man could have been nominated by tho republicans who could poll as largo a voto in California as Mr. Har rison. "Isn't it true that California wants the i hiiiese to go?" Nothing ot the kind, That cry was taken up by the hoodlums after Dennis Kearney had promulgated it in bitter speeches ho made against our race in his notorious sand lots ad dresses. ' ' "Tho citizens and Chinamen aro. then, on tho best terms?' ' "Hxactly, the prejudice against our race is wholly confined to tho ig norant and illiterate classes. ' ' "And they are ?" "Democrats. The enlightened people in California are republicans. There is a large Chinese population in California, a all know, but whnt very few people know is our power and strength there. Chinese are bet ter fixed financially according to their number than Americans, and I am willing to waer any amount that we contribute more generously to a earn tulgn fund than any ruce in the Uni ted State.

"The Chinese, then, arc republi cans?' ' "To a man. The allegiance of the colored race to the republican party is nothing compared with the love tho Chinese have for the party. The time will conic, and that shortly, when we shall be allowed to vote, and then it is but natural that wc should remem ber our friends and punish our ene mies at the ballot box." "That may be true, but how will you make your power fel t next No vember?' ' "Through our money, as 1 told you. I for one will give 5o0,000 to the republican campaign fund, and I stand pledged to raise $T)00,000. I can do that easily. That amount of money added to what the State and National committees will raise will insure the republican victory in Cali fornia.
