CLEVELAND ON THE SENATE.
President Cleveland 'writes quite a
long letter to Congressman Wilson on
the senate's action on tbe tariff bill.
The following is an important part:
"It must be admitted no tariff meas
ure oan aocord with democratic princi
ples and promises or bear tbe genuine
democratic badge that does not provide
for Ires raw materials. Iu these cirotim
stanoea it may well excite our wonder
that demooratB are willing to depart
from this most democratic of all tariff
prinoiples and that the inconsistent
absurdity of suob a proposed departure
should be emphasized by tbe suggestion
that tbe wool of tbe farmers be put on
tbe free list, and the protection of tariff
taxation be placed around tbe iron, ore
and coal of the corporations and ounital
iats . How oan we face tbe people
after indulging in such ontrageous dis
criminations and violations of principles ?
It is qnite apparent this question of free
raw material does not admit of adjust
ment no any middle grounds, since their
subjeolion to any rate of tariff taxation,
great or small, is alike a violation of
democratic prinoiples and demooratio
good faith I hope you will not con
sider it intrusive if I say something in
relation to auother subjeot, which can
hardly fail to be troublesome to tbe
oonferenoe. I refer to the adjustment
of tariff taialion on sugar. Under our
party platform, and in accordance with
our deolared party purposes, sugar ib a
legitimate and logical article of revenue
taxation. Unfortunately, however, inci
dents bare accompanied certain singes
of tbe legislation whiob would he sub.
mitted to the conference that have
roused, In connection with ibis subjeot,
a national demoorntio animosity to the
methods and manipulation of tbe trusts
and combinations. I oonfess to sharing
in tbia feeling, and yet it seems to me
we ought, if possible, sufficiently to free
ourselves from pirjudioe to enable ns to
coolly weigh the cousideratioua which,
in formulating tariff legislation, ought
to guide our treatment of sugar as a
taxable article. While no tenderness
should be entertained for trusts, and
while I am deoidedly opposed to grant
ing them, under guise of tariff taxation,
any opportunity to further their par
ticular methods, I suggest we ought
not to be driven away from the demo
cratic principle and policy which leads
to tbe taxation of sugar, by the fear
quite likely exaggerated that in carry
ing out this prinoipie and policy we may
indirectly and ordinarily encourage a
combination of sugar-refining interests
I know in tbe preteut oouditiona this Is
delioate subject, and I appreciate tbe
depth and strength of tbe feeling which
its treatment has aroused. I do not
believe we should do evil that good may
come, but it seems to me we suould not
forget our aim is the completion of tbe
tariff, and iu tuxing sugar for proper
purposes and within reasonable bounds,
whatever else may be said of our aotiou,
we are in no danger of running counter
to democratic principles. There tmiBl
be in the treatment of this urtiole the
same ground upon which we are all
willing to stand, where toleratinu and
conciliation may be allowed to solve tbe
problem without demanding tbe entire
surrender of fixed oonacientious oon
viotions." The bonse has already decided not to
concur with the senate's action, and the
fight promises to bo warm. It is to be
hoped tii at if a new bill is to take the
plaoeot tbe MuKiuley law that it will pans
quickly, or iu the eveut that no bill is
to pass, that congress will adjourn and
go borne.

So Kay Citizens or Our Connty.-A t'rnlt-
Jess attempt at bulldozing.
During the six years aud more that
the editor of this paper has directed the
fortunes of tbe Gazette, sharing alike its
reverses and successes, it baB been this
paper's aim to settle all private differ
ences outside of these columns. As a
rule, such mutters are not interesting to
subscribers, and it is cowardly aud un
fair to use tbe advantage that a news
paper always holds over an individual.
But now the Qtzitte comes to tbe front
fearlessly to expose the manner in wbicb
some men (?) In this vicinity do busi
ness. It is not a private mattor, because
one of these influential (?) individuals
took tbe pains to publicly dcclaro how
he would make Tbe Patterson Publish
ing Co. come to "limeriok," or words to
that effect, luLg before either tbe editor or
manager of Ibis paper knew anything
about tbe difficulty. And more, if men
or individuals, we should say, propose
to use a few paltry dollars to crush thj
rights and liberties of a free people, it
is time tbe public were apprised of it.
During the reoent cumpaigu it is said
that oertain citizens of our county used
defamatory and untruthful etatemenlB
to defeat F. J. Hallock for clerk. Tbe
Gazette suys "it is said" because of
its own knowledge it does not know
that these parties did this. But suob
was tbe report, and substantially
vouched for. Realizing that this was
most unfair, and that there were
two sides to tbe Question, some
republicans in order to put matters in
tbeir true light, got out a circular
entitled, "Extravagance of the Morrow
Administration." Part of this matter
was takeu bodily from the Guzette, but
the remainder was not. The job was
exeouted in tbe Gazette's job office and
paid for.
Two parties mentioned in the circular
were Columbus A. Rhea, president of
the First National Bank of Heppner,
and Frank Kellogg, vice president of the
same institution. Another person was
also mentioned in the same connection
as these worthies, but as he, perhaps,
allowed bis politioal preferences to get
the better of bis judgment, we have
nothing to offer. Suffice to say, he has
never even when be was well-to-do used
a few lousy dollars to oppress his
neighbors and to vent a dirty spite.
Tbe portion of tbe circular whiob so
greatly disturbed Messrs. Rhea and
Kellogg was this :
"Every resident of Heppuer knows
that tbe stories circulated by
, Frank Kellogg and C. A.
Rbea, to the effect that Hallock has
been guilty of stuffing jury-boxes, being
defaulter, eto are base lies. The records
of Morrow county show that there is
now a case pending against Frank
Kellogg in the county court, in whiob it
is truthfully charged that he robbed ihe
estate of R. H. Plunkett of some $1200.
Columbus A. Khea, that great (?) man,
who wields such an luHuence upon our
elections, has been defenduut in
damage suit wherein it was charged
that he malioiously attempted to, and
did ruin tbe family of one of the resi
dents of Morrow county, and any one iu
this oounty may see by watching Gale
street.'just South of Willow stieet, in
Heppner, whether or.not there weie
grouuds for that suit. Suoh are tbe
men who are foremost in circulating
theBe ttories."
Mr. Rhea did not ascertain, nor at
tempt to do so, whether or not tbe Ga
zelle, or any of its attaches, were re
sponsible for Ibis artiole. And now tbe
Gazette don't oare a red what be thinks
about it. But The Patterson Pub. Co.
was indebted to Tbe First National
Bauk of Heppner (which means Lum
Rhes) in tbe sum of 8690, due June 20,
1801. Mr. Rhea at once proceeded to
make some one suffer, and we were
picked ont as the hapless victims. He
did not collect tbst money heoause tbe
company was not worth it, or had refused
or neglected to pay he interest, or that
he was in such urgent need of it. Long
before tbe editor of this paper bad been
notified by Cashier Co user that the
money must be forthcoming, Mr. Rbea
bad taken the pains to peddle tbe faot
aronud town tbat we owed tbe bank
SftOO. and tbat on account tbis circular
we must dig up at once, which he inti
mated we oouldu't do. Without look
ing into the matter on suggestion that
he might be making a mistake, he said
he wanted his money and no apologies
aud that he would show nshow to circu
late trash about 1UH. Thismorey, the
public will understand, was not collected
asabuaicess pro'ositioD, but to vent
the spile of an individual who has more
dollars thau hard seuse. Mr. H:ia, the
big "I a," cau Btaboiliz -lis in tbe back
but on account of his dignined bearing
and money he must be let aloue to stop
the months of a free people; be must be
permitted to run unmolested, while
others must go down under his beel
because, of his money. Mr, Rhea will
not dare to deny the truth of tbe charges
made against bim. The records of
Morrow couuty will prove t, and be
well knows that he oume to the Ga
zette's editor wheu his oases were peud-
iug and begged bim not to put tbat
part of the circuit court proceedings
referring to his oases in the paper, and
we kindly consented as a friend to
accede to his request, I.i retain for all
business favois ever granted by Mr,
Rhea we have paid bim legal interest, and
aometimea more. He never did any
thing that be has not been well paid fur.
In return tor favors that this paper has
granted bim in bis licentious career,
be attempts at tbe first opportunity to
stamp us out of existence. Mr. Conser
on his own authority and at our request
granted us ten days grace aud we were
iu possession of the neoresary ducats lo
"square op" at the appointed time.
Mr. Kellogg took a hand in this mut
ter, too If we have uot been misiu
formed, be wanted to t ike our note as
attorney for the bauk aud sue on it the
very day it was due, and was only re
strained by the outlier of tba bank. Ha
bad a spite against Tbe Patterson Pub.
Co.
What has he to growl about? In this
Plunkett estate matter he admitted
o ing 8500, while the estate asked for
82300. At tbe last term of county court
it was deoided that Mr. Kellogg owed
the estate over $2100. One ilem 1 1 at be
bad in tbe list of charges was a fee tor
himself as administrator, etc., of $000.
He claims to have paid Judge Bennett
8400 for additional legal (services. It
does look as thongh Mr. Kellogg bad
beeu injured, don't it? But Mr. Kel
logg is one of those mulish Yankees ot
Southern adoption who thinks tbat all
must stand aside for him; that he oan
work injury to others, but that be ought
to be exempt. He forgets tbat he lives
in a glass house himself and shouldn't
be so free in throwing rooks.
We believe in free speech aud a free
people. While this paper is republican
in politics, it gives others the rights that
it bas and always will insist npon. And
we appeal to the common people, the
masses, of which we count ourselves, to
deoide whether or not Lum Khea or
Frank Kellogg have a moral right to
pinch any one for speaking out in meet
ing, and also to settle tbe question as to
whether or not these parties will be
tolerated in running a bauk for personal
ends, not financial. If snch is allowed
itbout rebuke those God-giveu rights
tbat onr Amerioan forefathers fought
for will be dragged in the dust as a harlot
does her bonnr.
Our experience may be repeated in
your oase, dear reader, should yon
happen to pull the tail of tbe serpent tbe
wrong way, or should he conclude tbat
you reeded punishing. It is a warn
ing to tbe people of our section to do
business with business men. A man
who uses his boarded dollars to strike
down the liberties of any one, should be
exposed iu his dirty, dastardly work, and
the sooner the better.
CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT DOGS.
Eskluof find the Faithful Animal a Neees-
alty of Their Miserable Existence.
"Without dogs the larger portion of
the great Eskimo family peopling the
barren northern coast of America
would find it impossible to exist in its
chosen home." So writes E. W. Nel
son in his "Mammals of Northern
Alaska." They are used in the winter
for hunting, sledge-drawing and the
like, but in summer are mostly left to
shift for themselves. They receive
much hard usage, as well as do much
hard work, but are described, never
theless, as a rollicking set, full of
play, fond of human society and quar
relsome as schoolboys. Mr. Nelson
credits them with a vein of humor and
declares that their varying character-
lstica can be read in their faces. They
are worth from two dollars to fifteen
dollars apiece, according to age, size
and intelligence. For sledge-drawing
they are harnessed in teams of either
seven or nine three or four pairs and
a leader. The load is from three hun
dred and fifty to seven hundred pounds
and the course is mainly through un
broken snow or over rough ice. With a
team of seven dogs and a load of more
than three hundred pounds Mr. Nelson
made a journey of more than twelve
hundred miles in about two months.
The last sixty miies were made over a
bad road in a continuous pull of
twenty-one hours. They arc much af
fected by the moon. During full moon
half the night is spent by them in
howling in chorus. "During the entire
winter at St. Michael's," says Mr. Nel
son, "we were invariably given a chorus
every moonlight night, and the dogs of
two neighboring villages joined in the
serenade." He speaks of its "wild,
weird harmony," and seems to have
found it agreeable rather than other
wise. The influence of the moon is
also very apparent when the dogs are
traveling. They brighten up as the
tiioun rises, and pricking up their ears
start off as if they had forgotten their
fatigue. The fur traders take advan
tage of this fact, and sometimes lie
over during the day and travel at
night. The dogs endure an astonish
ing degree of cold. Mr. Nelson saw a
female with two newly-born puppies
lying upon the snow near a hut, with
no sign of shelter, when the thermom
eter ranged from thirty to thirty-five
degrees below zero.

RAW OYSTERS.
A Mnca RellAhrd PreprandUl DUh of the
Athenians and Romans.
Raw oysters were eaten at Athens
and Rome as a predrandial whet. The
Romans coated their oysters with
honey and kept them until thev were
,. . i rnu i i i
slifrhtly putrid. The simple and clumsy
methods of Apicius.the third celebrated
glutton of the name, for preserving
oysters was to wash them in vinegar
aud pack them in vessels coated with
pitch. The oysters thus prepared, says
the National Grocer, were sent lrom
llritain to Emperor Trajan when
in Parthia were considered "fresh"
and have been sumeneut to entitle this
man's name to be handed down through
twenty centuries. If he is to be
deemed famous in direct proportion to
the nastiness of his invention, he
should be famous indeed, llrillat Sa
varin's preprandial whet consisted of
three or four dozen oysters. Sieui
Laderte, whom he used to entertain
tete-a-tete at dinner, is taid to have
complained because he could not jret
his till of oysters. Savarin determined
to give hint satisfaction in this respect,
and let him go to his thirty-secoud
dozen, when Laperte turned his atten
tion to the dinner with powers unem
barrassed by his prelude.
ttrateg-y at a Trying- Time.
The younjr husband was somewhat
surprised when his wife came into the
odiee. She opened the conversation at
once.
"I want enonyh money to go out of
town for a few days," she said, "aud
you will have to take your meals down
town for a few days."
"Why, what does this mean?"
"It means just this: I got a messen
ger boy to come to the house for Mary
Ann to tell her that (he Wat wanted at
her aunt's, and as soon as the got
around the corner 1 shut up the house
and locked It and ran away. When she
comes back she won't find anyone
there. We don't owe her anything, so
it's all right, and I wanted to discharge
her, but you know I never would dare
to tell her to go, and I knew you
wouldn't dare, and don't you think
your little wife knows pretty well how
to manage? Say yes, now, or I'll break
down and cry right here ia the office."

LAND BARONS.
Thay Hold Millions of Acres of Swamp
Land in Louisiana.
The New Orleans Picayune prints a
table of the land barons of Louisiana
and their holdings of unimproved tim
ber and swamp tracts, from which it
appears that alien syndicates, compa
nies and individuals own more than
2,200,000 acres. One syndicate claims
400,000 acres, several possess 100,000
and more and holdings of from 20,000
to 90,000 acres are not uncommon.
Most of this land is owned in the west
ern states, but to capitalists of New
York and Philadelphia several hundred
thousand acres belong.
The Picnvune explains that origin
i ,l "
the lands in Louisiana other than those
v ... u
ally the United States owned all of
which at the time of the cession by
France were held by private persons
or corporations. Subsequently what
were known as swamp lands, that is to
6ay, lands that were subject to tidal
overllow from the sea or were annu
ally flooded by the Mississippi, became
the property of the state, with the pro
vision that it should sell them for the
purpose of raising a fund to build
levees. A considerable territory, con
sisting of prairie and forest land, was
retained by the L'nited States to be
sold as homesteads. Such a disposi
tion was made of this land, but it is
now largely in possession of syndicates.
The l'icavune's table includes the
swamp, homestead and sea-marsh
lands. The last named, a lion s share

' A Curious I'nrHnltA,
It is fin old saying that every doh&a
his tiny. According to an Knlish au
thority, that day is neither very lout?
or specially comfortable in Fiji. It is
iniH)ssible to keep foreign dos alive
for much more than a eonplc of years.
Those horn there may live four years.
The caue of this mortality is a species
of worm that lives in the blood vessels,
arteries and heart. Adult specimens
of this parasite sometimes measure as
much as tive iuches, and the blood of
some animals is actually swarming1
with them. Puppies are often troubled
with them, although it seems to take
about six mouths to develop them to a
troublesome stage. hen a dog is at
tacked, it begins with a sharp barking,
which is at once recognized as the be
ginning of poor FiJo's last chapter.
Thus far no remedy hits been found or
even suggested. The sume parasite is
found in dogs in eastern Asia, and
identical svmntoms are noted. The
animal may live six months to two
vears after the first indications are ob-
terred.

FOR INVENTIONS.
Equal with the interest of those having claims against the government is
that of INVENTORS, who often lose the benefit of valuable inventions because
of the incompetency or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their
patents. Too much care cannot be exercised in employing competent and reli
able solicitors tc procure patents, for the value of a patent dependsgreatly, if not
entirely, upon the care and skill of the attorney. ...
With the view of protecting inventors from worthless or careless attorneys,
and of seeing that inventions are well protected by valid patents, we have re
tained counsel expert in patent practice, and therefore are prepared to
Obtain Patents in the United States and all Foreign Countries, Conduct In
terferences, Make Special Examinations, Prosecute Rejected Cases,
Register Trade-Marks and Copyrights, Render Opinlbns as to
Scope and Validity of Patents, Prosecute and
Defend Infringement Suits, Etc., Etc.
If you have an invention on hand send a sketch or photograph thereof, to
gether with a brief description of the important features, and you will be at once
advised as to the best course to pursue. Models are seldom necessary. If
others are infringing on your rigrts, or if you are charged with infringement by
others, submit the matter to us for a reliable OPINION before acting on the
matter.
