PURE PARTY POLITICS IN MUNICI
PAL ELECTIONS.
If -we are to have party politics in muni
cipal etcottons, 'then Jet us have It wish
the fullest possible Individual liberty of
choice and Independence iwlthln the party
tinea. The Mpr-lmery" system of selecting
delegates to refcecint tbe party at con
veni'JkMis wait doubtless designed to pre
vent Jobbery and unfair manipulation of
the conventions in the interest of certain
candidates, or the (selection of delegates
fuvomfcle to them. Like many other
plausible theories In politics or political
economics, it. Is a theory tSiat will not
pan out' on practical or experimental
deirtonetiraUon. The very .abuses which
the primary was)lntendel to correct are In
creased and -made iworso by Its operation.
It Is not necessary to particularize about
this, She rank and file of the party have
again and again tiad occasion to com
plain of the advantage taken by unscru
pulous politicians and bosses to foist upon
the voter, under the coercion of party
fealty, Improper and unpopular candi
date) at both city and county elections.
The old New England town meeting
to the nearest approach to an actually
popular and republican form of govern
.mcnt that has been Invented. In ttiese
meetings every dclien has his vote and
, oin have tils voice If be so desires. Every
thing Is done openVy and above board, and
while there are politics In these meetings,
and muEit be, unleas all organization and
syettem are abandoned, nd the partici
pants uegraoea inio a tienvoraiisea ana
confused mob without leaders or definite
petioles, yet every man feels wiheo he en
ters such a meeting 'that (he is the equal
of any man there. He has a ritfOvt to be
heard upon'wny proposed aotlon, and can
express) openly and for ttie benefit of all
present (h assent or diuent to any meas
ure or candidate, with tils reasons there
for. In this way the senMmonts of the
party can he taken In advancs of the
Irrevocable action of the meeting or con-;
ventlon, and the policies or complexion 1
of he ticket armnged to emit the largest
possible number. No man can say he
was not consulted, and, If he voluntarily
participates in the meeting, he Is In honor
bound to stand by its results on the prin
ciple of majority representation. With
a primary, (however, where there are a
Urge number of delegates to be selected,
the ordinary party man, engnctwd as he
Is In the affairs of his private business,
has (had no tlms or opportunity to die
cum or hear discussed the merits of pros
pective candidates. He Is obliged to go
to the polls and vote wlitlhout the benefit
of previous deliberation. Thus a large
number of scattering and useless votes
are deposited, and when the voter awakes
next morning, he finds Ulsat a list of dele
gates have been selected In 'which he
has no representation, but whose success
has been secured by the slickest kind ot
political manpulatlon and dark-lantern
system, ot whldh (he had no inkling, and
which ha and Wis fellow In Dheir dlt-or-ganlsed
condition could not have defeated,
even If they had received warning In time
to attempt It.
These tings wUl be formed and have
their existence In every party, and their
nefarious methods are principally directed
to obtaining control of the convention
primaries knowing full well that after
their out and dried plans have been ex
ecuted In the convention, the party lavh
will be sufficiently effectual to prevent
any considerable bolting at Wis election.
The thing to do is to reduce the machin
ations of these itirtdasters to the smallest
unlnlmun by requiring them to carry on
heh" operation In the full llgMt of publle
scrutiny at a mass meeting. Another ad'
vantage In the tnuas meeting plan of se
tectlng delegates Is that It give every
gjod party man a chance to warn these
bosses that -lie will not consider hlmselt
bound at the poll tf their unfair and
unscrupulous methods ara carried to th
last extremity, and neither Is he to bound,
provided timely and unequivocal notice
of his objections be given.
Tlie primary system has, of course, be'
com Ingrafted a a part of Oregon's
election maJlainery, and cannot be dis
regarded without jeopardising the legal
s:tua of any party ticket proposed for
election, but there I nothing In the law
to prevent any political organisation from
meeting In advance of the primary, for
the purpose of selecting a list ot delegates
(arM Instructing them for particular can
dlda'tes at In conventi-Mi, too. if thought
proper), and then ratifying ulie selection
so madu at the primaries when Ihey come
off. Oood reason exists for b. J'evlnj thut
this plan could be tried to advantage ok
the coming detegate primary, to be held
In "fy'M city next Thursday, and it Is pug
glutei that the prett-rt of the MVKin-
ley and League Club call a joint and in.
formal session of these bodies, at the
court house, Wednesday evening, and that

that the Wtaon bill Is not a Democratic
tariff. It is simply an emasculated Re
publican tariff. It was a botched Repub
Uaan tariff iwhen K came from the house.
In thie senate Mr. Gorman and his asso
ciate added over 600 amendments, most
of which were protective amendment,
for MarCyland turn many factories to pro
tect. In tWs way the Democratic party
Is now defending duties which, are two-
third at fciaet Republican, only they are
unevenly distributed, favoring certain
sectional Industrie. But in the case of
wool the Democratic party had the coup
age of Its convictions and took off the
iwihoCe duty, since it was targeSy a North'
era product. The wool clip under the
McKlnCey law (amounted to 364,000,000
pound. This year it we reduced to
264,000,000. At the aime time the price
wu reduced from T to 1714 cents, depend'

of 'this ctty In possession of the news
wlthiln five minutes of the time It to
known in the CocaUtle 'where the eCC'
tlons are being head.
The San Francisco Examiner poke
triiJJ fun at Republicans for speaking at
one time of the Gorman tariff as a better
protective tauiiff than the Wliaon bill,
and ait another as a free trade measure.
Yet the Gorman tan-lff Is Just what the
Republican describe it to be. It pro
tect one American Industry and falls to
protect another. So far a wool is con
cerned, it Li as mucth a free trade meas
ure as If It did not protect the Iron and
steel Industry. The Gorman tariff can
be tulid to have no natural or consistent
polilcy. It is neither protective In the
propor acm-e of the word, nor 1 It a "for
revenue on'.y" tariff. If it were pro
tective It wouOd retain duties on wool:
tf it were a revenue tariff It would etill
piuce duties on wool a a means of ob
taining revenue. The Gorman tariff was
the result of a party conaldaratlon of ex
pediency. Wooi was put on the free
list 'beovuuae there was no wool organisa
tion stirong enougiii to save It, Tiie mamu
fuotures of wool were retained In the
dutiable list because It rona not consid
ered expedient to leave them unprotected.
That was about the general style ot
trtake-up In the "Gorman tariff."
A more efficient system, coupled with
Ohe fact that a body the Oregon pilot
r better posted In their business than
Uhnir rival on the Washington side ot
the river, U the true reason why our
own men have scored some signal vic
tories lateCy, The competition tthouid be
welcomed by H ishlpplng men, as it ha
hUd the effect of stirring up the bar serv
ice very thoroughly.
W oaah er conditions and the financial
oondltton alike make this the most cheer

Wattis the matter with our railroad

MB WON HIS BET.
Two French) officer were standing at
Fort Vlctrhie, on the edge of the Sahara
desert. ,
"I'X waer fifty napoleons," said one ot
them, "that no European ever goes from
were to Foilt Sit. Denis aTonte and reaches
there alive!"-
"Done!" eaid a quiet voice behind bin.
The speakor lookt.l around with a start,
ankl eanv that a new pemeonage had sud
denly come upon thle Boon e--a smal l, thin,
stvatijhy FrenchinVcn tin civilian drests.
"You muat not think of It," my dear
sir," cried the young lieutenant, who had
offered Ithe wager.
"Perhaps It may not turn out to be such
terrlb'.e (business after V' said the little
man. "I'm going rttir&lghlt to the colonel
and aJk (Ms permleslon to make the at
teimpit, and I have neat the least doubt
that I d!ll get it."
And he did get it, sure enough, though
It iwas not without a oevere twinge of
comeelemee that Co".l Lagiunge gave Ms
eancekm.
RaiAi as he was, however, the bold ad
venturer had a method hi his madness,
for the Aral thing he did wais to asmirne
an Arab dress, knowing' that however
uscf.ess Budh a (disguise mlgAit prove at
close quarters, yet (If thiey saiw from a
distance a solitary man In native garb
they might not think It worth while to
ride after him, as they would certainly
do 'after a European.
When the hour for tairtlng came, not
merely the odd cottonet, but every other
officer who wais not actually on duty,
crowded to tihfe gate off he little fortress
to iwirtnees the departure of their adven
turous guest.
"Can I carry any message for you to
Font St. Denis, Colonel 7" asked the tatter,
turning to Col. Lagrange as coolly a
If he were only setting out for a picnic
Instead of running a risk in which the
dhances were 90 to 1 of his being kiKed.
"Weil, alnce you win go," rejoined the
veteran, teugtolng in spite of himself,
"you might give this paper to the com
mandant, and I only hope youll survive
to deliver It."
Thiere Is no mare grim or dreary ispecta-
f.e upon the face of the earth, except
pecC'Jaips the kiTAlred waste of central!

f.retehea almost unbroken from the palm
groves of Egypt to the waves of the At

AK at once, In 'the very midst of the
hot, ibrojwy glare whitoh make e'.J earth
and sky eem on fire together, the paf.my
create of a long line or graceful palms
are seen standing Hike sentinels along the
edge of a 'dear, stID, shining lake. But
It 1 only Uhlat fatal, murage of the desert
whlidh modka the weary eye of the lost
(wanderer, only to aUld ai keener agony to
the bitterness of his despair.
To itlhe Wave Frenchman, however, thlle
vOslonairy splendor and 'thlls weird, ever-
la.tlng deacCatlon were alike hackneyed
spectacles, and forward he went without
even troubling Dijmseilt to look at them.
Ten .mile of the twenty had already
been accomplished, (then twelve, fourteen,
fifteen. iHe had now adMeived three'
fouhtlhla of his perilous journey, and at
length, imounting the crest of one of the
ClJtig, wavellke sand ri'dge. he descried
far in tlhie distance (the low, white waJCs
of Fort St. Demls, iwlth It gay tricolor
flair of France waving Jauntily over It,
Cut &t the same moment he caught sight
of oomeith'lnv eise wlhtcfo was by no means
so saitMtajcitory-a distant group of white
iiraintften and glittering spear points and
Arab horses coming straight down upon
hilm.
The fnt was that the French had so
often employed nal Ivo , m'sengers that
every man, even if he Cooked like an Arab,
wa now an object of suspicion to those
(dtesert witures.
And 'Wihan they n eared our hero and caw
that he quietly continued on bis way
without taking any notice of them what
ever, they began to think that they must
be iwrong In sniapeotlng him, naturaflly
supposing that his showing wo little fear
of them was a proof that he could have
no reason to be afraid.
As the six if.ll horsemen dlosPd around
him, bn&nd!lh!nr their guns and spears,
but ptlll In doubt whether to attack him
or not, the dlj?u!evd Frenchman (drew
hlmncilf up defiantly. Indulged In a series
of these excited giestlculnltilons whicrv are

'What 'mean you?" asked the nearest
horaeman In a tone of aimaiement, Which

'What caia you thds!" retorted the ac
cuser with stern empMasls. And quick s

THE WEED AND THE ROSE.

And they both breathed the soft sum

But the little weed' sighed as It looked

For the rose way so tall emd fair. -At

'And told of its love to the rose,
But the rcse did not hear, for the Can

When the CiMtie weed wept, waihed tbe

And she listed her head to the light.

So ithe little weed died at the foot of the

And the rose never knew It was there.
