TO OUR PATRONS. rr inters are supposed to have a boli duy tbe same aa aoy other people, and this explains why e came out today without a report of tbe Columbian cele bration at Heppner. Suffice to say, it was even more than had been eipect ed. Our Tuesday's issue will devote considera ble space to tbe event. columbus' day. Four hundred years ago this morning the Pinta's gun broke tbe silence and an nounced tbe discovery of thia hemi sphere. It was a virgin world. Human life hitherto upon it bad been without sig nificance. In tbe Old World for thou ands of years civilized men bad been trying experiments iu social order. They have been found wanting. But here was an untouched soil that lay ready for a new experiment iu oivilizv tion. All things were reedy. New foroea bad oome to light full of over turning power io the Old World. Iu the New World they were to work to gether with a mighty harmony. It was for Columbus, propelled by Ibis fresh life, to reveal the land where these now forces were to be given space for de velopment, and wbere tbe uwaited trial of the new civilization waa to bo made, Sustained by an invincible will Colum bus traveled from court to court, bore up under rebuff and ridicule, braved tbe storms and dangers of an nuknonu ooenu, stood calm and resolute amid tbe threats and murmurs of amutinons orew, But resolute until the liiBt.siiooesB crown, ed bis efforts, the new world was discov ered, and the royal standard of Spain raised on the soil of America by this no ble man, by whiob he not only today, but will forever live iu the minds of tbe American people. Today we reach our tnoxt memorable milestone. We look luiokward and we look forward. Backward we see tbe first mustering of modern ideas; their louiz confliot with Old World theories, which weie also trailwported hither We Bee stalwart men Hint brave women one moment nu the shore, then diaappcariug in dim for ests. We bear the ux. We see the flume of burning oabins mid hear the cry of the savage. We see the never ceasing wagon trains always toiling westward. We behold log cabins beooniing villages then cities. We watch the growth of in stitutions out of little beginnings schools becoming an eduontionai system; meeting bouses leading into organic Christianity; town meetings growing to pnlitioal movements; ennty discussions developing federal Hoveruments. We look forward, We are consoious we are in u period of transition. Ideas in education, in political economy, in so cial soieuce are undergoing revisions. There is a large uncertainty about tbe outcome. But faith in tbe underlying principles of Americanism and in God's destiny for tbe republio makes a firm ground of hope. The coming oeutur) promises to be more tbnn ever tbe age of the people-an age that bIihII develop a greater care for the rights of the weak and make a more solid provision for the development of each individual by tbe education that meets bis need. America's fifth century has dawned. Its future is to be governed by thejoulh who today marolied as one army under tbe sacred fl'ig, and pledged "allegiance to it and the republio for which it stands; oue nation indivisible with liberty and justice for every aitizen, and brotherhood for the world." Ik a recent issue of the Portland Tel egrain appeared an interview with Ben ator Henry Blacktnan, of this plaoe. Tbe senator talked a little about politios, but devoted moBt of his remarks to non political affairs, such as would, perhaps, engage the attention of our coming ecs sionof legislature. This is becomingofa democratic senator who "got there" largely by republicau votes, and besides tbe Gazette has always found the sen ator ab ive non-partiznn politics anyhow, when matters of geueral interest were before him-those things that are ueoes tarv for the further comfort, prosperity and happiness of his district. As a re publican we always "give the devil his dues." Thk well kuowu wool-buyer, Frank Lee, gives in this isatie a bit of his ex perience in selling Eastern Oregon wool, and ohiims that onr glowers are dauiag ivg tin ir clips by the use of tar and paint brands. He insists Ihut should they be used, the shearers should be instructed to out a ay the damaged portion of the fleece. Through Mr. Lee's kiuduesa we have at our i flice two samples of wool, oue from Eastern Oregon and the other from Australia. The bitter is free from tar or paint, while tue other shows sad ly why it is a drug iu tbe market. Hlieep men, protlt by this bit of information. Watni McVkiuh, that puritanical turn-coat w ho once dishonored tbe hon orable position of attorney-general of tbe Uuited .States, now oan find nothing better than to abuse that uoble diplomat, Patrick Egan. To be sure, he now curses tbe MiKinley bill and tbe eleo-i tion of 1S76, both of wbich be thoucbt wm all right as long as they were sub servient 10 bis measly ends. But there can be no good reason in rattling away at Minister Egan. The masses of the Amerioan people love aod honor him, without icspeot to parly bfBiiations and regardless of MoVeiitb. Thebs is a uuanimoas cry from the railway traveling publio for a reduction in Pullman-oar fare. Fuurcentsa mile in addition to tbe regular railway rate makes first-class accommodations apret ty expeosive luxury. But it is a case of what aie the people going to do about it. Tbe Bleepiog car oompanies have a monopoly, and uuless tbe interstate com mission has authority to interpose for tbe publio relief the monopoly will go ou. Telegram. Hon. Sol Bmscu will probably oppose Senator J. N. Dolph's re-election this winter, as his friends will doubtless bring bim forward as a candidate. Mr. Hirsob baa made a good record, diplo matically speaKing, anu tnere is no reason why be would not make a val uable and hard-workiug senator. Thk faot that Morrow county demo orats, those stroug in the faith too, are willing to wager thut Harrit-on will be eleoted, is significant. The Gazatte does n it mention nameB for fear it might be placing its friends in au uuenviable light. Thh reported bolting of "big guns' from tbe republican ranks has simmered down to Wayne McVeigh, who is a twin sister of Carl tihuilz, neither of whom have voted therepubiioHU ticket for more than ten years. Ma. D. W. Rekves, leader of tbe Amer ioan baud, has been chosen to tuke tt.e plice of the late, lamented Qilmore. Mr. B R churob, the coruetist, bas been eleoted to fill the place vacated by Prof. Reeves. Jpdqb Gbsham writes to his old friend, Calkins, of Tacoma, that he is yet a republican, and that the statement that be will vote for Grover is unauthor ized. Miss Mobton, who was badly wound ed by Burdette Wolf, a young law stu dent, at Portland last week, is recover ing. Wolf has not been oaught. A Tocno Englishman of Umatilla conn- ty, CIihh. nmmond, has just fallen heir to ho,UUU, left him by his uucle. Eahtekn Oukoon is enjoying aflne fall, and, couHidenug, is quite prosperous. Glance over Heppner and you will see signs ot growth. HOME KAGLETM. From the Long Creek I'upi-r. Columbian bull here Oct. 21! Thus. Qiiaid, ot Heppner, is in this oily. Wm.
