TIIK HUNT IlOAl).
Tlio subsidy for tho extension of tlie
O. fc W. T. Railroad has been raised,
and for some time past our people
have been wailing for Mr. Hunt to
como over and conclude tho business
His delay has caused somo disappoint
mcnt. A letter received from him,
yesterday, by Hon. L. 11. Kinchart,
contains the information that ho has
more work than ho can do, but will
como over as soon as it is possible for
him to do so; and for us not to think
he has any idea of neglecting us.
No doubt Mr. Hunt is a very busy
man and thinks that a few weeks time
will make no dill'erenco with us. This
is true in one sense, but in another it
is not. If tho coming of tho road was
a settled fact avast amount of im
provement would be commenced in
this city and tho towns along the line
at once. Several enterprises of con
sidcrablo magnitude, which would bo
of great benefit to this city, arc now
only waiting on tho result of this rail
road business, to (bo commenced. A
largo number of dwelling houses will
bo needed in Union this winter and
their construction should bo com
menced at once, so as to bo completed
before tho bad weather sets in. All
these things depend, in a measure, on
tho action of Mr. Hunt, and wo arc
in hopes ho will exert himself as much
as possible, and Bet an early dato to
meet our people.
Tho committee hero communicated
with Mr. Hunt this week, in regard to
tho matter, and his answer is daily
expected.
TKHRY AND TIIK TKKltlHHH.
Tho recent killing of Judge Terry in
California has excited an unusual
amount of interest and has been (lis
cussed from every standpoint. Wo
havo no personal interest in tho mat
ter, but havo a desiro to sco justice
dono at all times. In reviewing tho
various commonts mndo by tho papers
it is disgusting to note tho stupidity
and venality displayed by some. A
number of tho smaller papers, follow
ing tho lead of tho ghoul who presides
over tho Portland Oregonian, overdo
themselves in vilifying and slandering
the dead man because ho was a demo
crat. Tliey aro not detercd by tho
fact that Terry was a democrat, and
was killed by a democratic doputy
marshal for making threats against a
democratic justice of tho supremo
court, and that tho matter can havo
no political significance whatovor. Tho
Oregonian sees fit to slander Terry
and t)iat is sufficient warrant for them.
Tho ono deed in Terry's lifo they
harp most upon was tho killing of
Ihoilorick in a duel, many years ago.
Thoro was nothing wrong in that all'air
any further than dueling is wrong.
Tho testimony of Hroderiok's friond,
General John C. McKibben, at the
coroner's inquest, goes to show
that both men took their chances,
and that fato was against tho late la
mented sonalor. All this talk about a
conspiracy to murder Hroderick is foul
slander of facts, and either willful or
ignorant misrepresentation of history.
"Political difl'oroneos and porsonal
abuse in public speeches, (says Apple
ton's Cyclopedia of Uiography) of
which Torry and Urodoriuk were about
equally guilty, led to tho duel." This
is a brief summing up of tho truth of
tho matter. Hroderick was as bravo,
daring and what was callod "chival
rous" as was Terry, and whon ho ac
cepted tho challenge took along its
consequences. Dueling was not oven
then a fixed custom of settling such
disputes in California, and Senator
Hroderick not being a southern man,
as Terry was, could havo refused as
gracofully as ho accoptod. At that
time ho was ono of tho most prosper
ous mon in tho stato.hisSan Francisco
property thou being tho best in that
city. Hroderick refused a duel with
I). V. Perley because tho latter did
not hold as high an ollico as ho did,
but thought Torry was fish big enough
for him. Tun Scout is willing to lot
Terry and everybody ovor connected
with him go down to history as tlioy
aro, but deprecates the lying of parti
sans on any side. Tho sovero criti
cisms cast on Terry for tho "murder
of Hroderick aro unjust and unfair.
Wo have no lovo for such people as
Justice Field. Ho, like Sawyer, Dundy
and nearly tho whole supremo bench
of tho United States, who aro apjoin
ted to their lifo positions, can find
enough law in tho books to decide
practically every case that comes bo-
foro them in favor of the side that con
trols the most money and iMrur-.ic'.
Terry was a man whose eonIu t on
( the bench is spoken of as ubf.w n
iproach; but as a private citizen he
i had tho reputation of a bully mi l a
desperado. Judge Fiold's ren rI i
nearly the rcverso of Terry's. Li tho
capacity of private citizen lie i M.mu
lcss, while his judicial record i: Gained
with charges of unfairness and venal
ity. As providence is said to be on
the sido of the largest batftllions, ?o
justice, as administered by Field, has,
it is alleged, almost invariably been
found on tho side of the heaviest purse.
This being tho case wo think that had
Judge Terry approached Justice Field
and publicly insulted him, which h'u
evidently intended to do had he not
been stopped, ho would havo been en
tirely excusable, and that his assassi
nation by a hired bully was nothing
short of murder.

The following testimony in regard
to tho workings of our "protective"
tariff is taken from the leading papers
of tho United States. Probably the
people will get enough of protection in
time.
A good many factories are shutting
down about this' time. This is what
was predicted in the event of tho pass
ago of the Mills bill and the re-election
of Cleveland. Hut the Mills bill was
not passed, Harrison was elected and
tho tariff was saved. And still the
manufacturers are failing. Tho tariff
organs aro a little slow with their ex
planation of theso things. Philadel
phia Times.
The Now York Tribune, tho Chica
go Tribune, tho Chicago Inter Ocean,
tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat, tho
Cincinnati Commercial Gactto, tho
Doston Advertiser aud the Hartford
Post all republican papers havo de
nounced tho sugar trust for practicing
extortion, and havo demanded that tho
tariff duties which make this extortion
possible shall be repealed or reducod.
In doing this thoy literally give away
tho whole caso for tho protectionists.
Indianapolis Sentinel.
Henry Clay thought that twenty
por cent was tho highest tariff rate per
missible. How would that distin
guished man have cast his voto on a
proposition to reduce an average rate
of forty-sovon to forty-two per cent?
Hut Henry Clay did not livo to see the
capacity of tho creatures ho assisted tp
put at nurso at tho public teat. They
havo grown so swollen with tho boun
ty of tho republic that they seem to
themsolves greater than tho thing
they feed on. Philadelphia Reeord.
Tho woolen manufacturers of tho
United States find themselves reduced
to a very simple choice botweon free
wool and bankruptcy. As they por
ccivo more clearly tho futility of polit
ical expedients and mourn the col
lapso of their trade they aro beginning
to think thoir contributions last year
to tho Harrison campaign fund were
about tho worst investments they
could possibly havo made. Philadel
phia Record.
Tho effect of high protection is be
ing felt all over tho land. Tho shut
tered hopes, tho hollow eyes, the
broken down constitutions of toil-worn
and weary laborors, thoir distressed
families and destitute homos aro but
tho results of labor robbed to feed the
bloated trusts combined for their op
pression. Middloton, Ohio, Signal.
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts
thinks that works of art should bo free
from customs. Now let him give ono
good sensible reason why luxuries
of art should como in free and raw
sugar bo taxed 2-8 conts a pound.
Tho millionaire indulges in works of
art and tho millions indulge in sugar.
Holiovo tho millionaires and make
pack horses of millions. Tin is what
legislation has been doing for twenty
years. Uoulder, Col., Sentinel.
Every man who votes for protective
turilf does so in the hope of being en
abled by it to get hold of other peoples
property. -Hamilton, Out., Times.
Simultaneously with tho strikes
caused by reduction of wages in tho i
ovor-protcotod republic eomoe tho
statement that tho steady rise of work
iugmeu's wages in Great UriUin i so
gonoral as to attract attoution. St.
John, N. H., Telegraph.
Why is tho ropublioan press so
silent on tho tariff quostion? Tho
great industrial and commoroinl revi
val that wo woro to havo nfter Harri
son's election has not innterUHtcil, it
fs true: hut why should thoy low
faith in a high tariff am) lay low 'for
months without so muoh us beutiug i
tho tom-tom of protection. Is "pro
tection" dead or aro thoy frfving u
quiot sneak on this lminot.? t'.m

It -'Miii-Ii like a death knell to liber
ty, imk'i rndenep mid manhood when
we road that a train carrying fifty-two
tons of pnnisions for the relief of the
starving Illinois miners left Chicago
recently. It is food sent to able, wil
ling workers because the coal opera
tors nave decided that they shall not
work tmlcs8 they agree to accept
starvation wages. This is indeed a
dismnl scene in free America in the
year 1889. Washington Craftsman.
Twelve thousand minors and cokcrs
compelled to quit work in tho Con
nelleville region ie another of tho sad
pictures which are furnishing tho se
quel to tho republican campaign
promise of "four years of unexampled
prosperity." Doston Globe.
The fact that Carnegie, Phipps and
Co. were able, when their hands
struck, to fill the vacant places with
Italians and Hungarians is a whole
sermon in itself upon the lefthanded
benefits which the American working
man reaps from protection. Every
thing for which he spends the fruits of
his labor is taxed in order, as he is
told, to keep out foreign labor. Hut
the foreign labor comes in fice to take
his place whenover he has a disagree
ment with capital as to the rate of
wages. Detroit Free Press.
Tho testimony of tho poor needle
workers at Wells Memorial hall, Hos-
ton, Tuesday evening $11 a week for
sixteen hours' work in the sweat shops
of America is full of food for thought
on the part of good citizens. How
eloquently such things speak for "the
protection of American industry."

Tno Pnrliil-.WoAInlion'it Show.
Tho above circus will give two grand
exhibitions at Union on Wednesday,
Sept. 11th, and is conceded east, west,
north and south, as well as beyond tho
confines of the United States, (as its
travels extend to tho most remote por
tions of civilization) the very best cir
cus organization of any ago. The Mc
Million show is hoard of from France,
England, Russia. Spain, Mexico, Cen
tral and South America and Australia.
An exchange says of their show:
"Fariui it McMahon's circus was
greoted by two largo and enthusiastic
audiences yostorday, the tents last
evening being packed. Judging from
tho frequent outbursts of applause the
multitudes woro more than pleased.
McMuhon bears the reputation of be
ing an extraordinary rider, and he
well sustainod his laurels last night.
The cow boy equestrian is entirely
new in Spokane and well deserved the
cheers it .called forth. The acrobats
aro immonso. The leaping, tumbling
and trapeze are all of superior excel
lence, Avhile tho trained mules display
animal sagacity hitherto deemed im
possible. In fact, tho whole show,
from first to last, is of unusual excel
lence. Tho hovftos aro splendid speci
mens and nobly did their work."
A Grrnt Surprise.
For soniO'timo thoro has been a ru
mor afloat that an artistically illustra
ted weekly journal is to bo published
on the Pacific coast, and now, to our
great surprise, it takes definite form in
an announcement by tho publisher of
tuu West Shore that ho will issuo the
first numbor of such a journal on the
14th of September. Fifteen years ago
Mr. Samuel began tho publication in
Portland of a feeble monthly paper
which has steadily grown until it has
reached tho proportions of the hand
some Wost Shore Magazine as wo
know it to-day, and now ho takes a
bold stop forward and establishes a
weekly journal which will be main
tained at tho highest standard of illus
trated weeklies in tho country. It will
require the expenditure of much mon
ey and labor to render the venture
successful, but tho West Shore,
with its splentlid equipment, long ex
perience and established position, will
bo able to succeed where most others
would fail. Special attention will bo
given to graphic illustrations of events,
happening on the Pacific coast, and
the topics f special interest to our
people. Its numerous and excellent
illustrrtions will be its chief feature,
und theso will increase in number as
the journal bocomoa settled in its
groove. Such an undertaking certain
ly recommends itelf very highly to
every eltisw, aud its success will bo a
duvet benefit to every section of the
wont. The pii, e will bo 10 cents a
copy, or Sf-I 00 .1 year.
