Mckinley for renomination
11 the Gazette has been correctly
informed, the cry against Presi
dent McKinley is no less vehement
than that directed against Presi
dent Lincoln in 1863, the year be
fore his second . election to the
presidency. It proceeded at that
time and in most cases from a
class of Union sympathizers that
were not long within the ranks of
the i epublican party after the war.
The battles of reconstruction and
the trials attending the reorgan
ization of the country, and the
successful reuniting of the North
and South, were not' shared by
them. They were critics on gen
eral principles without anything
tangible to offer for the plans
objected to.
All through the present admin
istration, the president has been
hampered by his so-called
friends. It was republicans who
caused the first outbreak from
natives in the Philippines. All
the obstacles thrown in the way
of the republican party, that have
carried weight, came from so-called
republicans.
There was a action wno were
full of suggestions at the outoet of
the war, who were pregnant with
theories on all sorts of war sub.
jects, who never saw a dog-fight
and whose practical experience
oounted as little as their common
sense. But their howl had some
effect, and there were sensible
people who took up the cry be
cause mistakes were made in the
organizing, eqnipping and moving
a vast army, all in a very few
weeks. These were followed by
cries of Algorism, and whatnot,
and finally by the unjust
course which precipitated hostili
ties in the Philippines. On these
rest the blame of the war and they
arc) worse than murderers. Their
comparisons of Aguinaldo to
Washington have enboldened that
corrupt and wily chieftain, and
many Jives will be sacrificed be.

Soma who have nil along given

tration's course, have unwisely
joined the hue and cry against

most demoralizing, now that we
are adopting a world's policy
It would be a swapping of horses
in the middle of the stream, too
dangerous and diflioult even to
contemplate. We cannot and mus
not, in justioe, interfere with th
plans or purposes of the adminis
tration. The Gazette does not for
a moment imagine that such will be
done. It is but the echo of 18(!
ana a mugwump wail luat ever
aud anon breaks forth with mor
or less vigor, but with mighty
little evidence of common mtelli
genoe. It is as dangerous to th
best interests of the United States
as the prevalence of anarchy that
existed in Northern Idaho, and
which is now creating such a dis
turbance in Cleveland and Brook
lyn.
Mciiiuiey should be reuomi
nated next year, by all means
three miles of grading mnst be
done, and a bridge built across a
river. The cost of the grade would
not exceed $250, and that of the
bridge a similar amount. The
people, farmers, stockmen and
miners tributary to it, offer to do
large part of the grading and
about all the money that must be
raised is $250 or $300 for the
bridge.
With this small expense the
most natural outlet for that section
can be opened toward Pendleton.
he route would be superior to
any other that can be built between
usanville and the outside world.
he road to Baker City is very
mountainous and rough and diffi
cult to keep in repairs. The one
to Heppner is little better. To
endleton the way would be open
all winter, the grade natural and
ight. The distances are about
qual. The citizens of Susanville
are anxious to come to Pendleton
and will aid in the construction of
the road. Much of the trade of
Grant county at one time came to
this city, which is proof that it can
be again secured.
Putting together all reports
that reach us, there appears to be
no reason why some effort should
not be put forth to come in touch
with the only mining camp that
can oe considered triouiary to
endleton. The business men, the
Commercial association or private
citizens who are financially inter
ested, if not otherwise, should take
the matter in hand. It would not
be advisible to raise any money
until a careful investigation is
made, but a responsible committee
hould be sent to Grant county for
that purpose as soon as possible.
PBYOB WILSON'S DEATH.
He Panned Away t Bit Horn at Monamrnt
Thamday of Laxt Week.
PryorS. Wilson, one of the oldest pio
neer residents of Oregon and Grunt

an illness of several months, lie wm

life departed shortly afterward. The
funeral was preaobed Friday afternoon
by Rev. Barnbart, after wbiob tbe body,
followed by a large oonoonrse of rela
tives and friends, was Istd to rest in tbe
Cottonwood cemetery.
Mr. Wilson was born in Holt oonnty,
Missouri, April 25, 1843, and in 1851,
witb bis parents, crossed tbe plains and
settled iu Linn county, when, after a
short reaidenoe, be removed to Eastern
Oregon and has sinoe resided at Mono

pioneers of tbe state, and has wit Deseed
tbe settlement of Oregon from a few
families to a population of about 500,000
people. He baa seen tbe wild forests
and plains oommon to every part of tbe
state of Oregon in 1851 transformed to
farms and owned by a bigbly civilized,
prosperons and contented people. Mr
Wilson was in every sense a true pio

need; and distressed, and the neighbor
and traveler were always weloome at his

best oitizens. His death will be monrned

PENDLETON ALIVE.
The Pendleton Republican con
tains the following wise sugges
for its business men.
Recently several Pendleton citi
zeus have traveled the roads to
Grant county and Susanville and
informed thetnsolves regarding the
future of those places. They in
quired iuto the prospects of the
niinop, the. trend of the business
and the facilities of carrying on
trade with the miners and
stockmen of 'Jrant county. One
and all claim that this oity is miss
ing a great deal by not putting
forth greater effort to induoe tbe
trado of that section to turn to
ward Pendleton. As it is, very
little comes this way, while Hepp
ner, Long Creek and Baker City
draw largely.
This, these men claim, is for no
other reason than the need of a
road that would cost no mora than
$5C00. There is a good road from
here to S. M. Bingham's place.
From there across a ridge platen a
for Beveral miles, scaroely any

In selecting Hon. Elihn Root,
of New York, to succeed General
Alger as Secretary of War, Presi
dent McKinley has added another
to the long list of appointments
he has made that even his op
ponents cannot criticize. Mr.
Root's reputation as a lawyer
stands second to that of no man in
the country, and it was for that rea
son he was chosen. President Mc
Kinley wanted the best lawyer he
could find at the head of the war
department, to handle the legal
questions that are constantly aris
ing in connection with the military
government of our new possessions,
and which are likely to be stil
more numerous and more compli
cated in the near future. He wil
get him in Mr. Root. No change
in the Philippine policy is fore
shadowed by the change in the
head of the war department. Tbe
organization of the volunteer regi
ments is being pushed with great
rapidity, already more than four
thousand men have enlisted, and
the ten regiments are expected to
be completed by the middle o:
August, and on their way to
Manila very soon after that date,
as present plans are to tmve them
all over there by the close of th
rainy season, so mat a campaign
agressive enough to crush out tbe
revolt before the next rainy season
rolls around can be waged.
Assistant Secretary Vandeu
nrr, of the treasury, thinks that
the Dewey Home fund, which now
amounts to about $15,000, con
tributed by more than 25,000 per
sons, will be swelled to at least
$100,000 by the time the admiral
reaches the United States. H
thinks there are quite a number of
persons who will soon make large
contributions. Treasurer Roberts

UPRISING OF THE CHEYENNES.
Paopl Who Hat Guns and Can Shoot
Art Not Afraid of Them.
The people who live in the Powder
river country are accustomed to the re
ports of Indian uprisinirs. The scares
have their beginnings in small events
The one in 1884 was started by two
drunken cattlemen, who were sitting
a house when three Indians came
riding up the road on their pomes,
One of them, who had been drinking
more than was good for him, made a
bet that he could raise the hat from
the head of one of the approaching
Indians with his rifle without scalping
him. So he opened Are, and hedid raise
the Indian's hat, but he shot a trifle too
low and creased his scalp, not hurting
him seriously, but starting the blood
and making the Indians angry. They
rode away, and that night came with
a band of their companions and burned
the ranch houses down. The residents
of that section organized a posse of
200 or 300 and went after the Indians
in earnest, but the men who fired the
ranch were subsequently surrendered,
and the affair quieted down without
more bloodshed.
The Cheyenne then'had a little set
tlement on Otter creek, at its confluence
with the Tongue river. Afterward a
lot more of their tribesmen joined them,
and there a mission was established for
them, where the government now takes
care of them. At that time they were
not cared for at all, and their only
means of living was by hunting and
stealing. They were treacherous and
undesirable as neighbors. 1 hey would
always look around when they mode a
visit to a ranch to see whether there
was any arms around, and if there were
not they would set upon the people
and rob them of everything they had
in broad daylight before their eyes. If
they met a man on a horse on the ranch
who was not armed they would set him
afoot on the spot and take his horse and
outfit along with them.
. They are the same Indians who took
pBrt in the raid in Nebraska and after
ward participated in the Custer mas
sacre. The Cheyennes are not a par
ticularly high class of Indian, though.
They are not especially brave, and I
never saw one who was a good shot.
They are rapidly diminishing in num
bers. The locality where they are now
was once a fine hunting ground, but
that day is gone. They, are fed by the
government and furnished with some
of the comforts of civilization, but for
the most part they retain their original
customs from preference. They live in
hoiwes a part of the time, but eat on
the ground when tables are furnished
them, and in many other ways show
reluctance to enter into the spirit of
the government in its effort to civilize
them. Helena (Mont.) independent.

she had said for the fiftieth time, as she

At that he stopped howling long
