OKKROK OS WIIKKLS.
Thk Scout deeireu to call the atten
tion of the funnera of Union county to
the importuned of having the county
properly represented in the east in the
car which will leave Portland on the
irth inst. under the supervision of the
State Hoard of Immigration, labeled
"Oregon on Wheels." The ear will
visit all the eiiHtern states of import
unco, and the products of our wonder
ful and productive state, contained
therein, will bo viewed by thousands
of persons.
As yet, we believe no steps have
been taken to have Union, the most
productive county in the State, repre
senled. The time is now very limited,
and we take this means of urging our
farmers to prepare an exhibit at once
that it may ho forwarded to the State
JJoard of Immigration and receive a
place in the car. It will be of far
more benefit than it would if placed
on exhibition at the Portland Median
ics' fair, as the people who visit that
institution are confined mostly to Ore
gon, who are well acquainted with our
resources, whereas, on the other hand,
it will be seen by thousands of peoplo
in the east who are contemplating
coming to this country.
iMost every county throughout the
State has prepared exhibits for the car,
and they are tiro ones that will attract
attention and receive the benefits
Union county is eapablo of making an
exhibit superior to any other in the
State, in minerals, cereals, vegetables
and fruits. It will require but a little
time for each farmer to make a small
collection of grain, fruit or vegetables,
properly label them and forward them
to the Hoard of Immigration. They
will 1)0 forwarded bv express without
charge to you. Or, if you do not wish
to do this, send them in to Thk Scon
ouieo auu wo win see thai llioy are
forwarded. Do not delay in this mat
ter, or depend on your neighbor, but
if you have anything worthy of plac
ing on exhibition send it in at onco.
It is very important that our mines
bo woll represented. It may bo the
means of directing capital to invest
iihiI open up the immonse body of rich
ore that lies imbedded in the moun
tains east of here, and which only
requires the necessary capital and la
bor to dovolop. We trust those who
are interested in this direction will
look at the mattor in the right light
and prepare a mineral exhibit, and we
especially urge our farmers to send in
samples of our grain, grasses, fruits
and vegetables. Koniembor it costs
you nothing and will ho the means of
doing a great amount of good.
seen fit to indulge arc common enough
! at meetings of precinct clubs just
t before election, but they arc not edify
ing to peoplo of intelligence and hon
esty. The Ohfo statesman alsa had the
hardihood to denounce Mr. Cleveland
for his position upon the silver ques
tion, and to link monometallism and
tarir reform together. Considering
the fact that of 127 votes in favor of
free coinage in the house, all but elev
en were furnished by democrats, that
only three democrats voted against
free coinage in the senate, and that
in the successful effort of the republi
can leaders to smother silver legisla
tion in the house one of the most act
ive participants was Mr. McKinley
himself, effrontery of this condemna
tion of Mr. Cleveland's silver views is
more than amazing it is paralyzing.
Mr. McKinley had it in his power at
any moment to send a free coinage
bill to the president. If, without
giving it support, he had merely
abandoned his attitude of persistent
obstruction, tho bill would have had
no furthur trouble. Not even Reed is
more directly responsible for the dc
feat of free coinage than McKinley
Of the two Iteed is in the better posi
tion, for he has never pretended to bo
a silver man, and does not condemn
others for holding the opinions upon
which he acts.
THK IM.HIOKATION IU0HL1:M.
Jill. .M'KINI.HY'S KXIIIlUTION.
Mr. McKinley is making a hard
light in Ohio, says the Examiner, and
when tho campaign gets good and hot
there are likely to bo enough disjoint
ed fragments of tho truth cumbering
tho ground to roquiro tho servicos of a
sweeping machine. Tho sort of argu
ments that will bo pressed into sor
vico at such a lime may bo judged
from tho Btylo of controversy in which
Mr. McKinley indulged in cold blood
before tho contest opened. In ono of
his speeches ho took occasion to men
tion Mr. Cleveland, who was not run
ning against him for any ollico. "Tho
tariff reformer," ho
The American people surely ought
not not to be adverse to or dilatory in
nrovcutinir tho promiscuous and
vicious immigration of paupers, vaga
bonds and criminals from Europe,
after tho example that has been lately
sot in England. At a meeting in Lon
don, only a few days ago, to adopt
means to press upon Parliament tho
importance of the subject, there us
scmbled distinguished members of the
ruling and opposing parties Conserv
atives, Liberal-Unionists, and Glad
stone-Liberals. All of these agreed in
the common sentiment that this order
of immigration was harmful and most
vicious, and should be interdicted. A
resolution was adopted demanding
that the government forthwith restrict
immigration so as to exclude these
mischevious and dangerous classes
from entrance into tho kingdom, as
thoy cause ni terial injury to British
labor, very much aggravate social ovils
and largely swell tho criminal records,
Now, besides having these effects in
the United States, the classes against
whose entrance into the kingdom tho
English people demand government
interdict aro more pernicious and
more dangerous in this country. Not
only do they make trouble in tho fields
of labor, but against tho peaco and
safoty of tho community likewise.
Among tnem aro rogues, tineves, in
cendiaries, and assassins. In Eng
land, they can beg and proy and plot,
but thoy aro denied tho franchise to
voto at elections. In this country, in
tho most important elections there
fore tho most exciting and most des
perately conducted tho immigrant
fresh landed is hurried to tho State
and local courts empowered to issue
naturalization papers, and, from out
of those machino courts, controlled by
tho Tammanys of tho country and run
by judges and clerks who aro zealous,
submissive, and unscrupulous, the
immigrant is rushed to tho registry or
to tho polls and his vote is received
equally with that of the citizen. The
non-English-speaking immigrant, ut
terly ignorant of tho Amoricun Con
stitution and contemptuous of our
laws, with barely lodgment in tho
country, but with tho fraudulent voto
to cast as ho is dircceed, virtually kills
the voto of tho citizen who feels tho
full importance of tho ballot. Tho
pauper and purchased voto, in closely
contested elections, may provail and
alter tho course of public business
with its corrupting influence or power
outright; it may change tho destiny
of tho republic in an election for pres
ident, uieso aro tlio unnormost
registered of no occupation as simple
laborers. A considerable proportion
of them could neither speak, under
stand, nor wnto Jngush tnoy were
Italians, Portuguese, Hungarians,
Russians, Poles, and Scandinavians.
Among the latter are some who are
not desirable residents. Of the
Italians, tho Portuguese, and the
Hungarians, the greater proportion
arc in no degree qualified for homes
in this republic ; thoy are of baneful
nature and vicious mothods of life.
They most injuriously cheapen labor
and cause disorder, provoke turbu
lence, and disturb the general peace
and good order. The German com
munist and Russian nihilist are incen
diaiy and insurrectionary, in measure
mischievous and dangerous, but they
aro not assassins of the Mafia Mala
Vita stamp, nor do they trouble the
tields ot lanor to incite strikes or in
fluence the laborers to riot and armed
violence. To swill with beer and foam,
to fume as they quaff fiery spirits, is
the extent of their vaporing, the
extremity of their disorderly demon
strations. They spill no blood, rarely
destroy property. They do not make
good citizens, and, therefore, they are
not (fcsirablo and aro not wanted or
welcome in this country. The
Chinese and the natives of Asia arc
intolerable; but the late-day hordes
from Europe, pouring in upon the
Atlantic sea-board, aro immeasuably
worse. The Chinese are inhibited
from citizenship and can not becomo
voters. Tho rotten mills of the courts
of the Stales of the east grind out the
refuse and scurf of Europe in naturali
zation, and invest with the elective
franchise the scourings which should
be committed to the prisons. The
continuanco of the evil will virtually
disfranchise the mass of intelligent,
earnest citizens by the overflowing
vote of corruptionists, as they pur
chase and dragoon their bought and
submissive bands and gangs at the
polls, to force and win the infamy of
victory. The coming session of con
gress should take the mutter in hand
and put a stop to this indiscriminate,
pestilent immigration. A radical ref
ormation of the law covernine im
migration is absolutely demanded.

Thk Chinese question is again
booming up, owing to the fact that
while the United States government
has extended a cordial invitation to
tho government of China to partici
pate in our World's Fair by sending
exhibits, it has taken no steps towards
a change in tho present laws, which
prohibit tho landing of citizons of
China in this country. It is clear
that China will sond no exhibit if her
citizens aro not allowed to visit the
fair. The treasury department wants
congress to solve the conundrum, but
nobody has yet made a definite sug
gestion of how it may bo dono satis
factorily to ourselves and the Chineso
government.
