THE DEMOCRATS AGAIN,
Speech orRoljert A. Miller, Canfliflate
For Congress.
ins clams ron Tin: office.
The second gathering or the local
Democracy took placa last evening,
when their camliilate Tor congress,
Robert A. Jliller appeared :ls the
speaker. The baud paraded the
streets, and a Iitllo before eight
o'clock a fair audience was present at
the opera house, but not nearly as
many as on tho occasion of the gov
ernor's appearance, a wcelc ago.
Seated upon the stage were C. J.
Trenchard, John II. Smith. C. II.
Thomson, A. II. Sale, Dr. O. J5 Estes,
Martin Olson, Capt. .T. E. Campbell,
Chris. Sorenson and John Ivopp.
In the boxes were Geo. Nolaud and
wife, P. V. Weeks and wire, Rev. F.
O. Weeks, L 15. Elbon and family. J.
E. Kcarnev, O. W. Dunbar and Geo.
Hibbert
Utzinger's band waa seated in the
orchestra and previous to the meeting
filled the house with melodious mel
ody from their harmonious instru
menis.
There were tvo jieople in the au
dience who though very young and
unknown to fame, had more to say
than any ono except tho speaker of
the evening, or at least ma.le more
noise than any one else, and ar time-:
it was hard to tell whether they or the
speaker was eutitled to the iloor, as he
had to contend for the master. One
of them wsis silenced by the materntil
font, but the other carrietHho day, for
the mother had to carry her out, aud
the audience in that vicinity then
listened to the speaker on the plat
form. At three minutes to eight o'clock.
County Clerk C. J. Trenchard stepped
forward and stated that they were
disapi)ointed in not having ?Ir. Wager
present, but he had great pleasure in
introducing tho next congressman,
Robert A Miller.
Mr. Miiler is a nung man of favor
able appearance, or medium size, with
a bright, clear eye, and pleisant voice,
and is an excellent speaker, using
crood language, and at times quite
flowery and ioctical, and fairly elo
quent" While there were many good
things said by him, they were more of
the style of a"4th or July oration than
of a Democratic speech, and with a
few slight changes it could have been
designated a Republican speech.
In opening he complimented the
people of Astoria for tho advancement
and progress made, and claimed that
with the coming or tho railroad and
contiuued energy on the part of the
railroad it was destined to h a grand
city.
llo had wondered why Oregon, an
empire in extent, had so much un
cultivated land in ila e;islern portion,
where for many miles are see: no
houses, fences or marks or cultivation.
But in going down the grand Colum
bia river and seeing the bar to naviga
tion at tho cascades it was all clear to
him, aud with tho pnijier legislation
to have the entire river open to com
merce, Astoria would soon become a
second San Francisco.
For this reason, and to accomplish
this result, the people here must make
a change in the national politics and
the representatives in cougress. He
churned that enough money had leen
appropriated to have cleared I ho
river entirely or all obstructions but
still they had not been removed.
Somewhere, at some place, and by
someliody a great wrong h:is 1kv:i
done by the failure of Ihree represen
tatives in tho national congress after
twenty-live years of effort, l ojien the
river to navigation.
The projjosilion to construct st Iwat
railway at'au enormous expense and
to be 35 years in doing it ho claimed
was prcjMisterous. He said: "If you
agreo to this, yon will sit sstill llo years
and let Waahins'lon overgrow and
overtop you with its numerous cities
around ingot sound, and its im
mense commerce thereon. Make no
mistake iu the men yon send to con
gress, and to your slate legislature.
If you people here realized how much
there is at stake in this you would not
be so inactive.
"The railroads centering in Port
land are ijreatly rcsionsible for the
delay in clearing the Columbia of ob
structions, as it is all tho better for
their business. I was Iwrn in this
state and want it all to grow, and do
not want any city or section to monop
olize or control business so as to retard
the growth and prosperity of the bal
ance. 1 waut Astoria. Eugene, Sa
lem, Albany aud other cities to grow,
as well as Portland. No question
before vou is more important than
this."
He then referred to himself as a rep
resentative of his partv and a candi
date for the suffrages, not only of Dem
ocrats, but Republicans, "believing
that he had honesty and ability for
the position to which he aspired, and
if elected would emleavor to serve the
people faithfully and earnestly.
A long lime was occupied in speak
ing on tho tariff question claiming
that two years ago the Republicans
prophesied that if the Democrats
came in power, with their peculiar
ide:ts of tariff, tho wages of mechanics
Kindred Park

and wage earners would go down to
the level of tho ill paid pauper rate of
the foreign laborers. He charged
Carnegie with cutting down the wages
of his employes three months after
Harrison's eleclion,and the Republican
party with being to blame for tho
poverty and hard times last winter
among the workingmen of San Fran
cisco, the city of wealth where it had
been said there was no poverty.
Free trade was then alluded to at
considerable length, and heroic efforts
made to convince the audience that
the jiosition of his party on the tariff
qncstion was right, that the Republi
can parly was wrong, that Ins side
wanted duly reduced from 17 to So
Ier cent, and that was not free trade.
lie went back to the book of
Genesis, the Roman empire and
claimed that all through the world
there had been no tariff. Many of the
audience seemed licwildcred in trying
to understand the object of this long
delonr, and quite a number went out,
iwssibly to see if they could find the
other end of the story outside.
In referring te Ringer Hermann, he
said: "My competitor is not here now
to speak for himself, but he is in con
gress, and you frequently hear of him
in the'papersin the telegrams he sends
them, lie is at ono time trying to es
tablish some little port down the coast
at a place no one ever heard of, and
at another lim. is endeavoring to clear
out some lillle stream away up in the
Cascades, instead of iujiortant legisla
tion. It is strange that even these ef
f.irl. .diould lie made now, but "then it
apjxwrs that seldom is anything done
except ju-t lerre election.
"I Tir.r I am wearying nu, bull did
n it expect, to haw all the talking to
do to night, and I have already il mo
so much to-day corning down on the
boat, but Mr. Wagr did not comv.
Yon expected to hear thesilver-tongued
orator, but he is tho other fellow, who
is not here.'
Apparently unconscious that it was
the work of the Republican party, he
sjioke of the grand work accomplished
in the past, when the fetters had been
struck "from millions of slave, and
claimed that the gyves and fetters
from the slaves were now on tho busi
ness men, the farment aud the wage
earners or the land, and wondered how
many centuries must pass ere the time
would come when thev would lie struck
off.
Hespokeofihre1 political parties ask
ing for votes.1 he Democrats,Republican
and labor, claiming that the rormer
stands between the other two, is no
extreme, but holds a legal view, iu
favor of honest currency, and a dollar
which shall be of the same value
whether in the hands of the business
man, tho laborer or the banker.
"As for myself, 1 Iwueve m the doc
trine, the greatest good to the greatest
nnmlier. I do not believe in prohibi
tion, and the Democratic parly is not
supinised to favor that ultra view.. I
believe that is going too far, as every
man should be left free to decide for
himself. I do not think a man should
get drunk. As for me, I have a fine
vineyard in Southern Oregon where
wo make some good wine, and if any
of you come over there, you are wel
come to sample it with me."
A high compliment was paid to the
grandest exponent of Republican
principles ever known, Abraham
Lincoln, which name elieilod consid
erable applause from the many Re
publicans in tiie audience. His senti
ment UA government of the people, by
the people and Tor Ihe people" was
highly endorsed by the speaker, who
claimed that it w:a similar in senti
ment to his idea or the greatest good
to Ihe greatest number.
Union soldiers were sjioken of jn
complimentary terms and the claim
made that there were two r them on
his state ticket, and that Democrats
generally are more kind to them than
are the Republicans.
The pilot schooner (or. Moorfij
was referred to as leing lied tip here
the fault of Republicans and of a prom
inent candidate on that state ticket
who had promised to see that it was
maintained in service as intended.
"Republicans dwell on their pa.t
record and the glory of their achieve
ments, but no dead heroes of the war
will build one mile of railroad, ono
steamboat, or tunnel your mountains.
I would not take anything from their
glory. Let them rest in their quiet
graves honored and revered for the
grand work they have done. The
past with all its beauty and patriot
ism is behind us.
"The present meets us now. and
claims our attention. Go with me
under that starry banner which makes
every man free, marching onward in
one grand phalanx, moving forward
to a better condition of humanity. Let
us go as one grand people, under one
Hag and with one sentiment, Amer
icans all. Let patriotism, love of
country and hope in tho fullest,
grandest sense of the word be our aim
and ambition. Voto for the best men
and let prejudice and party die out
once and forever.''
He thought that a political revolu
tion was at hand, that Ohio's change
of 20,000 votes was a good omen.
"Rhode Island is now a Democratic
state, Iowa has wheeled into line, and
we can chango Oregon. Do vour duty
on the 2d of .lune, and the 2,000 ma
jority will not be thcir's but ours.
Oregon has never prospered so well as
in the last four years. The record or
our party is before ou, and we claim
it is good. With a firm relianco on
yonr judgment at the coming election,
we place ourselves in your hands. I
thank you, for your attention."
Mr. "Miller's speech lasted just an
hour and a half, and whether he in
tended to do so or not, he certainly
paid tho Republican party many com
pliments. It fact lie had but little to
say of the usual brilliant claims made
for the Democratic party by their
orators.
The band played as most of the au
dience was retiring, and the balance
were thanked by C. J. Trenchard, and
dismissed. Mr. Miller was escorted to
the Occident hotel by the band and
his friends.
Nothing in UcNcrve.
Of all the thousands of cases of salmon on
the. U. P. dock not a case of genuine
Columbia river salmon is to be found among
it. Nor is ihere a thousand cases in San
Francisco of Chinook salmon. Aatorlan.
Onr esteemed contemporary, usually
bold and ontspoken seems to have some
thing in rcorve. Tho above statement
does not sound liko tho enterprising and
independent .'l.sfori'an. Why it has not
told th& whole, story wo cannot under
stand. Rat it certainly has left tho way
clear for the mterenco that tke.ro is
something fishy nbont that salmon np
there on tho U. 1'. dock. As for the San
Francisco part of onr neighbor's an
nonnccment, wo aro prepared to indorse
tho statement that there is not a thousand
cases of Chinook salmon in this city.
We doubt very much if thcro is a
thousand cases of salmon on tho local
market outside of jobbing stocks. How
much salmon is there on tho U.l dock,
what is its finality and what would lo a
fair market price for tho lot? Herald of
Tnulrunu Unteeruiiu tanner, lb.
There is nothing " in reserve." Tho
point Tun Astortax made was that
Columbia river salmon always finds a
ready market. The 30,000 cases of
salmon on the U. P. dock is all right,
and is good salmon, but if it was
Columbia river salmon it wouldn't be
there that's all. The salmon on the
U. P. dock is as good as any outside
salmon, that is as good as any salmon
that is not Columbia river salmon. As
to the price that is dillicnlt to deter
mine. If our San Francisco neighbor
wants to buy it it is probable that no
reasonable offer will be refused. Sal
mon is alwavs worth what it will
fetch.
On the Sacramento.
The Contra Costa (Cal.) Gazette
says: The strike of tho fishermen's
union against the canneries has at
last terminated, and a compromise
been effected satisfactory to both. On
Monday the fishermen were selling
salmon to the cannery at this place in
large numbers, aud several teams wero
engaged iu hauling tho fish. The
catch on Monday was unusually large,
and upwards of 1,000 salmon were
landed at the wharves. Of this num
ber, between three and four hundred
were shipped to tho city, mid the
cannery handled the remainder. The
terms of the compromise as near as
can be ascertained, are threo cents per
pound and an agreement on the part
of the cauners to take the entire catch
or as near so as possible. The run of
fish is good at present, aud if it con
tinues limes will be lively in this in
dustry. The fishermen have acted
sensibly by compromising matters
with the canneries, but for a time it
looked as though they would stand
firm aud demand the terms of the
strike, which was four cents a pound,
or cease fishing altogether. The salmon
along the straits are said to bo in bet
ter condition than those taken in the
river, many of the fish landed on Mon
day weigliing as much as twenty-five
pounds. The fishermen, now that the
dilhculty is settled, are getting down
to steady business, lieing anxious to
make up for lost time, and if no
further trouble arises, there is no
danger of the cannery wanting for fish
during tho spring run.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Views of Senator IngalLs, of Kansas.
We are all under sentence of death.
By some mysterious and inexorable
laws it is appointed for all men to die.
Other incidents may or may not occur,
but death is inevitable. There is no
reprieve, no new trial, no pardon, no
executive clemency. Life, the most
sacred of all natural rights, is the one
of which all are deprived by an
arbitrary decree of nature. The
verdict is pronounced and judgment
rendered before we are born.
The right of man to live is sacred
and incontestable, and yet it may be
renounced. If I am attacked, I have
the right to kill my assailant, if his
death is necessary for the preservation
of my own lifo. This is not denied by
any code of morals or of laws. Life
may bo legally taken not only in self
defense, but in the protection of prop
erty, of honor, and the state. If the
right to slay exists, then the right to
live is forfeited, oecauso two con
tradictory rights affecting the same
individual can not coexist.
Civil governments are established
among other objects, to dispense with
private vengeance, and to punish
crimes against individuals as offenses
against the social compact. The citi
zen relinquishes his right to kill the
man who has slain his father, his bro
ther, his wife or his friend, upon the
agreement that society shall avenge
tho wrong and punish the offender.
This seems to bo the rational justi
fication of the death penalty, which
has been universally recognized from
the beginning of history.
Aud yet it can not be denied that
as tho conscience of nations becomes
oro sensitive and the sacredness of
life more apparent its infliction .grows
moro repulsive. Tribunals, juries and
legislatures are percepuoiy remcianc
toeniorceinoiauiirigiiLoiretaiiauou.
demued criminal becomes the object
of excessive and inexplicable sympathy.
Philanthropy staves to deviso less ter-
noio metuous ol execution, xne uar
barous torture of the stake, the gibbet,
tho wheel, of beheading and mutila
tion, once deemed essential to the
safety of society, aro regarded with
horror, and have been definitely aban
doned. Humanity shnddors at the
contemplation, and inquires whether
the sacrifice of life is not indefensible
if the isolation of the felon is sufficient
for tho protection of tho state from the
crime.
The public sentiment for tho aboli
tion of capital punishment is evidently
growing stronger in all parts of tho
civilized world. For political offenses,
except in actual war, it has been
finally suppressed. Had Waterloo oc
curred two centuries earlier, Napoleon
wonl4 have been sent to tho block in
stead of to St Helena.
The right of government to inflict
tho death penalty must be conceded.
Tho objects of punishment are to re
form tho offender and to protect so
ciety. Tho idea of vengeance has
been eliminated. No gentleman can
bo considered as reformed by being
hanged, and tho only remaining con
sideration, thorefore, is that of social
utility. This i3 debatable ground,
and is not susceptible of demonstra
tion. There are some incorrigible and
predestined criminals, tho wolves,
tigers and cobras of tho human race,
whoso execution gives general satis
faction; but the victims of heredity,
of sudden rage, of ungovernable im
pulse aro regarded with compassion.
The indications aro strong that society
will ultimately bo ro enforced with
sufiicient intellectual and moral guar
antees to onablo it to dispense with
this supreme penalty.
At present tho general conscience
would probably reflect the sentiment
of the challenged juryman in Montana,
who declared that ho was opposed to
capital punishment, except when in
flicted by the vigilance committee.
Tho legislature of Kansas has
adopted the ingenious device of order
ing criminals condemned to death to
be confined for ono year after sentenco
to tho penitentiary, and then executed
at tho pleasnro of the governor. Tho
result is the accumulation of a job lot
of convicted felons, whose lives having
been judiciously forfeited, instead of
being abbreviated, are indefinitely
prolonged by improved diet, scientific
sanitnry regulations, aud enforced
good habits, at the expense of the
state. John Jame3 iNOAiiXiS.

Villard Holds the Wianlsc Hud.
Tho masters of finance in New York
have had another deal, and "Villard
holds the winning hand, this time to
the discomfiture of the elder Gonld
and the probable displacement of the
younger from the presidency of the
Pacific Mail company. This, together
with the indications that Huntington
is Villard's partner in the game,
assures advantages to the commerce of
the Pacific northwest that can scarcely
be overestimated. Tacoma will come
in as an additional Pacific Mail port,
dividing the advantages of the

A Story With a Moral.
There is a moral in the following
story, says the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
It is true, and it is applicable to every
position in the commercial, literary or
professional world. It will apply to
the most eminent lawyer and to the
clerk in a corner grocery. A young St.
Paul man applied to a well-known
merchant in this city for the position
of assistant bookkeeper. He was
asked what salary he expected, and re
plied: "Eighteen dollars a week."
"We had decided not to pay more
than 815," demurred the merchant
"Well, sir," answered tne young
man frankly, "I need the position, but

with a approving smile, "you are just
the kind of man we want. Go to work
to-morrow at 20 a week."
