Once again let ub turn our attention to the sneak thieves of this city, who stand so bitterly and with such a de termined showing against the passage of an ordinance licensing gambling. In the front rank, put forward, born of, and supported by the low dive keep era, is the Evening Budget, a sheet that lives and feeds on any bestiality to which it can fasten itself; a sheet shut out from respectable homes as vicious, and breathing disgraceful immorality in every line. Prom the day of its first publication no untruth has been too bold, no disgusting Incident too coarse, and no filth too low for Its columns. Today It reaches Its level the level where it finds Itself an outlet for the sentiments of a class more disgraceful and criminal In its insUncts than any other body of men in the state of Ore gon. The public have stood the infliction of this filthy organ long enough. The ap plause of its kind keeps i alive, and in every dive and gambling hell Is a copy of the paper, Its dirt and suggest- lveness finding keen and delighted ad miration in such quarters. And now, urged on by Its creators and support ers.lt stops at nothing, blackmail, or what you will, to prevent the wholesale demolition of the blackguards for which it lives. And why? The reason is aim pie enough. Take away and wipe out the degraded loafers that infest Swill- town and its readers and supporters are gone for ever. At the back of this sheet stands the front row of its assistants men of the calibre of and standing of "Pete Dou rel," "Harry Chrlstensen," etc., etc. It It not, we ask In all conscience, ar. eternal disgrace to our city that sue! individuals can carry on their traffic li "boys and young girls unmolested? Now, If ever is the time for the honorable eli ment of the community to assert It self, and, by the blow It can inflict b) the passage of the ordinance, for evei rid us of at least a large portion of thlt disgraceful horde. We have felt it a duty we owe to our readers to say In no equivocal language what we think on this point, and, hav ing done this, and having dealt with the subject plainly and openly, let us say that under no circumstances will we In future stoop to notice the accusations and untruths of such a newspaper. Knowing the source from which these accusations spring, knowing by what "class of men they are prompted, and for what object they are made, we in tend to refrain from soiling our hands in reply or protestation. The respect able element of the community will know and understand why we take this course. She gambling mil it degrading tmrte, but on which mat withstood all effort to uproot it. Let it, therefore, bo controlled and confined within, tho narrowest possible If milt. Whenever at a general election the result has been very decisive and espec ially when that result Involves a com plete change of political power, one always hears In various quarters the declaration that the defeated party Is generally misty, and we are left to sup pose that there is to be no opposition which la a component part of represent For the Next To meet imperative demands, I will coffer at such low prices on install ments, -with easy tatlve government but that all men are ' to be merged In the victorious party until In some distant future complete nranjrpmpnt of new parties shall take plnce. Wo think we nre not mistaken in saying; that such predlc tlons were made in regard to the democratic party In 18G4, In 18C8 and in 1872. We know that they were freely made in regard to the republican and democratic parties respectively in 1884 and in 1888. It is therefore not sur prising that the same refrain should now be heard with reference to the re publican party, defeated at the last election. These prophecies are usually uttered by sanguine persons, young in politics if not In years, who hold to the cheerful belief that history began when they first entered upon the field of pub. 11c affairs and that all is settled for ever when they are successful. It seems a pity to criticise a theory of human affairs at once so simple and satisfactory to those who believe In It but unluckily there seems to be no foundation for this one either In fact or experience. There has been a great many elections, and there are going to bo a great many more, and the for tunes of political parties are going to vary in the future as in the past, This at least rests on the teachings of history, while personal expressions of faith in the future of the party to which one belongs count for little. The theory that political parties are In the habit of being wiped out and started over again on wholly new lines rests upon an entirely mistaken con ceptlon of history. "Tho moral element of thlt community mutt rctnomber that nearly every gambler who runt a boy trap, every dire-keeper, every dance-hall proprietor, every vag tha hangt about Hwllltown, every man running a taloon or elgar-ttore who wanlt to yam ble, it with them, and that there It a reaton for thlt ttrange attoelatlon, Ferrlt It out. and don't let the tkln gamblert and turr thing bootlert drag the ehurth Into din grace." Astoria Examiner, March 31st, tSOtl. In answer to Mr. Landen this mom ing, let us say that we cannot assume that the opinions of the official repre sentatlves of the ehurchs fairly repre' sent the opinions of their unofficial membership. He assures us that he has the majority of his own church with him on this subject, and we believe that he would lyke no assertion that he did not know to' be absolutely accurate, That point we concede hlin at once. But let us say that It would be a thou sand times better, In a question so weighty and overwhelming as this gam. bllng discussion, for every man in the community to think out his own con elusion, and not take the flat of any pastor blindly and unhesitatingly. Were the matter a subject for a purely mor il application, then any member of a church should feel It his privilege and his duty to follow In the footsteps of Mb spiritual leader. But It is not open to a moral argument alone. Local con ditions and common sense we unhes itatingly declare are the only grounds mi which this question should be fought. From the side of morality we stand hand In hand with Mr. Landen, as we have stated tlmo and time again. Gam- bjlng la wrong. It Is one of the worst passions of human nature. But it Is embedded In that nature and we dare not use a cancer knife to tear it out. It unjutt for ut lo declare that when three clergymen- attempt lo touch in a timid way the question which It al the bottom of our present municipal discontent, they are to wedded to the ettabltthcd order, and to fearful of the impending revolution that their ingenuity It chiefly eject-cited In evad ing the point? We are glad to notice that our ef forts on behalf of new order of things at the city Jail have been effective. Al ready the committee in charge of that department has set about the work of reformation, and In a few weeks we may hope to see matters considerably Improved. But there is much more to be done before things are In a satisfac tory condition. However.wlth the thin edge of the wedge in, matters look hopeful. The Dalles Times-Mountaineer says: "And now comes the Oregonlan as a defendant In a libel suit, in which tho W CAN HAVE A HOME IN Thirty Dajs, payments, that American Historical Publishing Com pany claim $100,000 damages for edi torial comments made on a book en titled a "Story of Oregon." It is tlmo that a press censor was nppolnted for this state, to whom editors should sub mlt all articles which attempt,' for the benefit of the public to show up In their true light certain vampires which fasten themselves on the pockets of the community." In response to numerous requests we reprint the proposed gambling ordin ance this morning in full, and again ask all who have not studied it to give it their earnest consideration.
