congressmen to order a call of tint

A mkI'Atcii of the 13th inst. states '
that tho recent panic in Wall street
lias had tho cfl'eci of placing Jlenry
Villard on the verge of bankruptcy. In
New York on Thursday a big sensation
was created when tho statement of as
sets consisted of railroad shares, stocks,
bonds, etc., aggregating ifi.OOO.OOO.
Tho question is what has become of it.
If current reports are true Henry Vil
lard is hopelessly entangled and finan
cially bankrupt.
Can a newspaper please everybody?
It cannot. Ought everybody bo
pleased? No. Why not? Well, if a
newspaper pleased everybody, and if
everybody were pleased, the time spent
here on earth would bo so fearfully
monotonous that the people would
not care how soon the old globe on
which they reposed went to pieces. A
newspaper mitol rattle the dry bones,
make everybody mad, bo boycotted,
kick up Jack, loll tho truth, expose
falsehood, lay bare hypocrisy, fraud
and tho like, and then trust to the
sober second thought of all fair minded
people
A Pioxkkk PitnsK, Lincoln, Nebras
ka, special, says : Tho evidenco that
tho Chicago, Burlington it Quineoy is
headed for tho North Pacific coast is
gradually accumulating. Tho new map
just published shows tho Wyoming lino
to B u Halo, which point will not bo
reached until next year, .lust now
General Manager Iloldridgp, with a
number of other ollieials, is in tho Pa
get sound country, with tho viow, it is
supposed, of looking up terminal facil
ities, ard arranging for what improve
monts may yet be niado. There is a
prevalent bt'Jjef that tho Burlington
and Groat Northern will joji) forces in
ha oxlromo West,
iWniS.soit Kooii.of Berlin, has boon
experimenting with tho discovery of a
proventativo for consumption, fora long
time, as frequent reports of his pro
gressive oxporimonts havo indicated,
lie now announces that thero is no
longer any doubt about it, but that lie
lias discovered a virus with which per
sons may be inoculated, and which is
n sure defense against the bacillus of
consumption. It is to bo hoped that
the professor has made no mistake, for
tho discovery of a proventativo of con
sumption, one of tho most deadly ills
that alllict humanity, is an event that
is scarcely second to tho discovory of
provonting smallpox by vaccination.
A (ii.AN'ci: at tho tax roll now in the
hands of tho marshal for collection will
discloso tho fact that tho publishers of
Tiik Scoi'T pay a city tax of .$1(1 fit)
whilo tho publishers of tho Republican
pay less than 100 cents. This illustrates
very forcibly tho interest these two pa
pers havo in this community. It will
also bo seen that soveral men who havo
tho reputation of being wealthy are but
littlo better oil' than paupers. Thu
Ainaworth-Brazeo property, which can
not bo bought for less than ton or fif
teen thousand dollais, is assessed at
about one-tenth that sum. Unman
nature as a curious study iH only
equalled by our present assessmunt
laws.
In anhwkk to tho request nuulo to
ub by a number of tho citizens of Pii.o
vulloy for information regarding tho
now land laws, wo will say that a circu
lar recently issuod from tho depart
ment of tho interior announces some
very important changes. By its tonus
no pcrfeon can iilo or enter more than
320 acres of public land hereafter.
For instance, if one flies on 320 acios
of desert land, ho is forovur barred
from entering or flling on any othur
claim under the vurtotiH acts of con
gress providing for tho disposal of thu
public domain. This law, howovor,
will not provent any ouo who acquired
publiolaml previous to August 30th
last from filing on 320 acres mora, pro
vided ho has not exhausted his rights
previously.
J MIAIMM TIN liMOMTIOS.
An iht..rul in tb"'' Or'gotiian ex
plaining l lie ran-'- of (he recent defeat
of tho repuhhin party, which has been
copied by a uinilr oi tho small fry
papers, cun'Miiis tin following:
llooy d!iwt:ili- pains during "ofT
yi ars" i-tin-inli-rather than tho ex
ception and dK not portend republi
can Iosm s at Ihe succeeding presiden
tial year, as our political history dom
(inMr.ite. Our political history demonstrates
just the reverse. Thero was a demo
cratic tidal wave which swept the coun
try in 1874, and jn-esaged the election
of Tilden two years Inter. It was the
popular "protest against tho corruption
and tyranny of the republican party un
der Grant's second administration, but
it com pared to the recent manifesta
tion of popular disfavor only us the
pawing of the unttimn gsle compares
to tho mad rush of tho whirlwind.
Tho recent result was confined to no
section. It came friin tho oast, west,
north and south. It was universal.
Everywhere that American citizens
cast their lullots there was a protest
against the further existence of the re
publican party. The republican ma
jority in the pro-cut hou-o is twenty
eight. In tho next that party will'not
havo n hundred members. There is
no record of a change like that in the
history of the country.
The republicans have never recover
ed from tfw defeat of 1871. That was
really its death stroke. It has been in
a moribund condition since that time
with occasional resuscitations brought
about by blunders of Us opponents.
The party itself recognized this fact,
and when it come wholly into the con
trol of the government in 1888, for the
flrtt time in fourteen years, itset about
devising means to intrench itself in
pown It hud no confidence of its
hold popular elotm. It did not
trust its ability to live by tho natural
means which give hfo to political or
ganizations, but FOirght by tho creation
of rotten borough states, by an allianeo
with tho trusts and combines, and by
an unconstitutional election law which
would subvert the freedom of tho bal
lot, to place itself in perpetual power.
To this action tho people havo given a
prompt and overpowering protest. The
republican party will never again como
into the control ol the country, unless
some democratic folly enables it to rise.
There will always be two parties, but
republicanism has had its day. Thero
has never been any political revolution
in this country bBforo like that of this
month. Tho coming of tho republican
party into power in 1800 is the only
thing that can compare with it, and
that was more gradual and more an
ticipated. iiuai: it km: at,
Tho poor lamb (black ono) that pre
sides over tho Whangdoodlo has had
its "foolinks" hurt. Hear it bleat:
Tho Scout continues to clip items
from tho Hcpubliean and give other
papers credit for thoin. Last week it
took an article that we published two
weeks ago and credits it to the Athena
Hopublican. Bat this purloining is of
such frequent occurrence that wo mo
getting need to it; we suppose tho "buzz
saw" has a right to buzz no matter
what comes in its way.
Ono would naturally suppose that
tho clipping loforred to, which wo cred
ited to tho Athena paper, was some
thing of great import ami contained
original iderts worthy of investigation
and creditable to tho author. Wo
thought so at first and took the trouble
lo look it up. Hero it is:
The Athena Hopublican says: "The
Inland Telephone Company, whoso
lines now extend to Pendleton, expect
to string wires to Union and Baker City
during tho coining winter."
Inunense, und very original, isn't it?
The fact is we took the above item from
tho Athena paper because we thought
it was in a pui-ition to know what it
was talking about. Had wo known
that it appeared in the Whangdoodlo
first wo should havo paid no attention
to it as wo would have known its uttor
unrelial ility. That it did appear there
we are by no moans certain because
Davis says so. Davis' whole paper, tho
alleged editorials and all, are mostly
stolon from other papers, and if ho
over advanced an original idea, or
wrote anything with his little pencil
that was worthy of being copied, wo
have never seen it, and the idea that
wo ever dipped anything from his pa
per is simply itbutml. His etatomonts
do not annoy, they only annuo us, al
though we have known smaller things
than ho is (o annoy people. A gray
back walking down the spinal column
of the granUnt man living would doubt
loss make him foot iuit'iuy. The old
Miyiug that the walk ibings or this
world Nrtt chosen to confound tho wiso,
ever proves itwtlf true.

Tiik Jaektonvillo Times puts it in
tins way, and nothing could be plainer:
"If you arc affected by tho increased
tariff of McKinley you are entitled to
an increase of wages. If you have not
received it, the republican party has
deceived you. It has niado you pay
more for the necessaries of life on the
pretext that, in that way, your wages
would be raised. It has not waited for
you to get the higher wages before as
sessing you in tho matter of higher
prices. You have to py inoro for your
clothes and your hats and your tin
ware and your crockery. Unless you
get more money to buy these things
with, your wages have been practically
reduced. If you get just enough more
to buy the same amount of goods you
could buy before, you get no share of
the increased protection, that has been
divided all around among the capial
ists. To give you your fair proportion
of thu raitc your wages should bo high
er by about u third than they have
been heretofore. Have you had such
a raise? If not, tho McKinley bill, so
far as you are concerned, is a fraud,
and you arc being robbed for the ben
efit of tho trusts of Pennsylvania."
Tin: St. Louis Globe-Democrat (rep)
takes its medicine with the best grace
possible. Among a score or more of
witty paragraphs in the Thurtdny's is
sue of that paper is tho following : "The
chastening rod of defeat may occasion
ally be applied with advantage to a
political organization, but wearing out
a hickory stick on the soft parts is a
little too much of a good thing." The
Globe-Democrat opposed the Force bill
and contended that the raising of tar
iff duties was a mistake. It is there
fore in a very good position to say to
its party, ''I told you so."
