FitOM overy section of tho stato comes
a demand for tho repeal of tho usury
law. What a ridiculous thing that
law is, to ho sure. It is meant to pro
tect tho poor man who is forced to hoi
row money and compel tho money-lender
to loud his money at reasonable
rates or not at all. Like all other laws
designed to "protect" fomebody, it acts
in a manner just tho roverco. AVe
havo the law, but when a man wants to
borrow money ho usually pays about
18 por cent.'for it 10 per cent, inter
est and 8 per cent, "commission." This
lust item is not counted as interest but
is regarded as a kind ofaroward to tho
law breaker. Conscientious money
lenders, who do not wish to evade tho
law, place their money in other states,
where no such law exists, and in con
sequent) money there is plentiful and
can bo obtained at a very low rate of
interest. Tho law bonohts nobody but
tho bankers and money loaners and is
tho kind of protection that the mass of
tho people don't need in their business.

republicans forty-soven. If tho legis
latures of Colorado, Illinois, Iowa,
Kansas, Montana, Now Hampshire,
Now York and Wisconsin aro demo
cratic on joint ballot, as is probable,
ns roported in tho dispatches, tho
democrats will secure eight more sena
tors and tho republicans will lose
eight; but tho republicans will gain
two each from Wyoming and Idaho,
making tho senate stand f'orty-iivo
democrats to forty-throo republicans.
If one of tho states should re-elect a
republican senator tho sonato would

tho republicans would thoreby ho giv

neither partv will havo any votes o

may expect strict attention to business
on that account. Tho democrats wore

Amos K. .Jonks,
rill; solicit second thought
Thp roccnt elections held in many
of the Stub's of the Union, resulting
in a
litial wave which submerged the
republican party beneath a remark
able demonstration of popular disap
proval, is a grand illustration of the
evei-clianging fortunes of political par
ties and the triumph of the right. It
prove conclusively IhHt the people rule
and that t lie meat minority accord no
allegiance to party when tho loaders
who guide its conrso and give it char
acter, blinded by the possession of
power, and drunk with the dosirc for
gain, pander to the lich and powerful
few against the poor and laboring
masses. It is a fact that in many of
tho States, . particularly in tho over
crowded east' the great majority of
citizons and voters cannot spare the
time from daily toil to inform them
selves on tho intricacies of political
questions, and in consequence rely on
their party leaders and are guided, fre
quently, by impulse. While honest in
their intentions they only learn in the
stern school of experience. A lesson
once learned, however, is remembered.
Never beforo in the history of tho re
public have questions of such vital im
portance to tho laboring man and
poorer classes been up for discussion
and settlement than in the past four
years. It wiis not expected by any
thoughtful man that the masses would
ho made to understand new ideas and
break away from established usages,
in a few weeks or months. . Tho cam
paign of education inaugurated by
Grover Cleveland mot with reverses at
first by leason of tho inability of tho
masaes to readily grasp new ideas,
which gave tho monopolistic demago
gue an opportunity to raise tho slo
gan : "Protection to American labor,"
and this, catching tho ear of tho popu
lace, but appealing not to their under
standing, placed tho republican party
in power in 188S. It was the result of
thoughtless impulse. Tho outcome of
tho elections last week was, assuredly
tho result of "sober second thought'
on tho part of tho honest citizens of
the Republic striving to hotter their
condition. In 1883 tho republican
party was returned to power and after
tho excitement of tho election, tho poo
pie had time to think tho matter over
at their leisure. Tho toiling poor who
had no time to think, waited patiently
for tho good times that had been
promised thorn by tho protectionists,
but tho good times novor cuino and
they learned in their only school, ex
perience, that American labor was not
protected at all, that it was the manu
facturer who was protected, and in
consequence they had to pay advanced
prices for overy necessary of life whilo
their wages steadily decreased, being
in competition with tho offscourings
of every country on tho globo, there
being no taritfon imported labor. Tho
nefarious McKinlcy bill which only
aggravated this stale of affairs was tho
last straw and an enlightened and out
raged people protested. Tho protest
has boon very offeotual. The Scout
whilo having tho greatest respect for
tho opinion of every honest republican
must be allowed to express its gratifi
cation at the turn affairs havo taken,
and indulge tho hope that with tho
aid of the thousands of republicans
who havo repudiated tho protection
idea, dared to think for themselves
and havo placed their individuality
above party, a hotter stato of alfairs
will henceforth prevail. This paper
is independent in overy eonso of tho
word. It will only support the men
or policy of any party so long as it be
hoves them to bo right. If tho princi
ples of tho two parties wore changed
wo would bo a republican. There is
nothing in a name. Thoro must bo
political parlies and party loaders, and
tho men whoso ideas are in accord
with your own should recoivo your
support. Courage, patriotism and
honor, should command our homage.
In this connection, and in the light of
tho events of tho past week, wo can
not refrain from calling attention to
one eollossal figure in politics; a man
who has sacrificed much for his princi
ples and his country's good; a man
whom the voice of tho people in tho
recent elections has proclaimed tho
greatest living statesman; a man, who
of all living patriots, is first in the hearts
of tho people Grover Cleveland.

OHROOX AT THK WORLD'S FAIIl.
Wo presume there is no ono ignor
ant of the fact that there will be a
World's fair held in Chicago in 1802.
There, in tho small space of a few hun
dred acres, will be gathered the choic
est specimens of tho product of the en
tiro earth; not alone as regards the
natural ard cultivated productions of
tho soil, but the rarest works evolved
by tho tireless brain of genius from the
fields of art and science. It will be a
reproduction of the world, in minuturc.
Millions of the brightest and best citi
zens of tho globo, coming from every
country, will visit the wonders thero
displayed and form an impression of
tho various countries by what they see
and hear. Particularly will the deni
zens of the Old World desire to inform
themselves of the resources of America
and the different states of the union.
It should ho the special care of every
man to see that his on state is
not lacking in any essential to make it
blend in creditable harmony with the
maanificont aggregation. Thousands
of Oregonians will be there. Many from
Union county will be there. Would it
not be humiliating to the proud sons
and daughters of our stito to be com
pelled to avoid the Oregon exhibit on
account of its meagre collection and
insignificent proportions? Assuredly it,
would. To avoid a contingency of this
kind let the work be commenced in
time and every effort bo made to in-
suro a creditable exhibit. To do this
it will bo necessary to have an appro
priation mado by the next legislature.
Every member should discuss the mat
ter with Lis constituents, and his con
stituents should lend their favor to tho
movement. Doubtless there arc some
who will ask, "What good will it do?
What benefit will it bo to us?" These
questions are fully answered by tho
Gcrvais Star when it says if all the rich
agricultural lands of Western Oregon
wcro in ono body the average width
would be fully forty miles and its
length not 1o.b thau 100 miles, and its
area in acres would bo -1 ,000,000. This
body of farm lands has now tho great
est opportunity to be advertised to tho
world that can possibly bo offered it,
that of being represented at tho world's
fair. That such advertising pays is
tho vnrdict of overy intelligent business
man, and that it would create a de
mand, in fact, a rush for tho lands
mentioned is beyond dispute, and this
would send tho prices up as much fas
tor and higher than those of California J
wont a few years ago, as theso lands
aro superior to thoso of that state. It
would creato such a demand that lands
now held at $100 per aero would go to
$1000 or more, and lands now held at
$10 and $lo por aero would go to $50,
TWO and ipiuu per acre, it such a re
sult wcro reached, and it can be, it
would pay a thousand times ovor tho
expense incurred. But supposo it on
ly increased tho prico of theso lands
an average of $1 per aero, thero would
bo a gain of $-1,096,000, one-sixtconth
of which would bo as much as the
most ardent friends of this movement
would bo likely to ask tho legislature
to appropriate And remember that
this is only upon tho agricultural lands
of tho valleys named, and does not in
elude tho benefits that would accrue to
tho cities, towns and villages situated
therein, nor does it include tho valleys.
plains, cities and villages of tho eastern
portion of tho stato. It can thereforo
bo readily seen that the agriculturists
of theso valleys could pay tho entire
appropriation that' will bo asked from
the stato for its representation at tho
world's fair, and then bo many millions
of dollars ahead. But this they aro
not asked nor expected to do, but it is
expected that they and all other people
of the stato will give this important
matter careful and intelligent consider
ation and thou ask their representa
tives to act accordingly. A half or a
quarter million of dollars ordinarily
looks like a large amount of money,
but when wo como to comparo it with
tho results its proper use would bring
o the state, it is small indeed.

person, for his own use, ton cents per

Mr. Bollcs says that in collecting
tho delinquent taxes ho has been as
lenient as it was possiblo to bo, never
collecting tho full fees allowed him for
his services, but just charging enough
to dofray his actual expenses. In con
sequenco of this ho finds himself, at
this dato, just $59.00 out of pocket, and
for Ins leniency has; incurred only ceu-
suro and abuse. His duty is plain in
tho matter, and it is his intention to
collect every cent of tho delinquent
tax if thero is anything in tight or it is j
possible to do so by levy and sale of
property, and will ohargo collect
the full foes allowed him for doing so.
Delinquents will do well to govorn
themselves accordingly and pay up
without further trouble. Tho shorid'
is perfectly right in this matter and
should perform his duties unflinching
ly. By doing jso ho will rucoivo tho
support of tho people at largo; and

THK HUNT 1COAD.
The matter of building extensions
by the O. it W. T railroad seems to
bo hanging fire somehow. Mr. Hunt,
evidently, has difficulties yet to sur
mount, before work can bo got in suc
cessful operation, and it is quite prob-
ablo that he will bo unable to build
tho Grando Rondo extension in time
to secure tho subsidy promised him
by our people. Hon. L. B. Itinehart,
who has been with Mr. Hunt siuco his
return from the east, came homo a few
days ago and from him we learn
that the bonds of tho road havo not
yot been placed, although it was thought
that tlioy were advantageously nego
tiated and tho news to that ell'ect was
hourly expected. Had Mr. Hunt been
successful in his former attempts at
lloating tho bonds, tho proposed roads
would havo been well undor way at
this time. Now, owing to this delay,
the very stormy weather and tho wot
and swampy ground along tho Gray's
Harbor branch, work has" been suspen
ded thero and the men paid off. All
tho implements employed theio havo
been stored and tho horses will soon bo

as it may be neceary for him to again
go east for a few days. When his ar
rangements havo beon dotinitely mado

with the people of Union county. Ho
informs Mr. Itinehart that all of his
