Has the republican party throng!:
its representatives in congress taken
the contract to dig its own grave
Oregon ian.
Harvey whose sir name is Scott
has had the self imposed job of un
dertakcr for a long time; in fact, so
long that he is becoming jealous
even though he has never yet dug
a grave that quite suited the re
publicans. He lingers around the
cemetery that his own fantasies has
constructed, and with his dirt worn
spade plays sexton where there is
no funeral train in sight. Even
his imaginary corpses are too lively
for him and are resurrected at such
inopportune moments as to cause
him much chagrin. Wearied with
digging in the mi 1st of the pollution
he himself created, he attempts to
cremate a few individuals such us
McKinley, McBride and in fact,
the entire Oregon delegation
just to show how his "machine"
fs working.
There is no fence too high for
Harvey to straddle, and .he will
rifle a dead issue to a finish even if
he has only one foot in the stinup.
If Mr. Scott would quietly take an
outing for four years and read his
contradictary political rot, he would
s;e nimselt as others sje mm. ut
course he has several kicks coming
since many a feeling boot has
blessed his political aspirations by
placing the bosom of his pants in
front of him.
lue delegates to tue congres
sional convention should think
twice before attempting to turn
down Representative Tqngue, and
be sure that in the event Mr
Tongue does not succeed himself
that a man just a little more ca
pable thau he is placed in his po
sition. This district rightly boasts
of many capable men, but among
them even his political enemies will
give Hon. Thos. H. Tongue
prominent piace. 11 is not a per
sonal issue that the delegates to
the congressional convention should
consider but a general issue for the
good of the entire state. Mr
Tongue is now well fitted to the
harness which was thrown over his
back and is now in a position to do
his constituency much good if
given an opportunity. He has
made rapid progress, and for a one
termer has accomplished many
things that men much older
hi the representative hall have failed
to accomplish. For instance, Mr
Tougue has created 62 new post-
rr . f
omces, iourteen 01 wmcti are in
Lane county; he has proven to be a
friend to the soldiers, in as much
as reports credit him with having
received 275 original pensions, or
increase of pensions granted prior
This item, when you lay aside
the patriotic feature, becomes a
financial proposition, in as much as
it has added to his district about
$2,000 per mouth. It is said that
ai present sometning line r.ooo
other pension claimsare before him,
and they will receive his attention
as fast as time will permit. Mr.
Tongue is an able man, in fact the
entire Oregon delegation is com
posed of able energetic workers,
men who command the respect and
are able to fight a good hard battle
along any lines in support of the
interests, of their constituency,
delegates should consider these
things.
The county court should recog
nize the needs of the citizens of
Row river and Mosby creek and
erect the bridge a petition for which
is now before the court. It is a
deserving .request and will be of
much, benefit to the people of that
Section,
AOKlMIALOU.t.
On Feb. 17th at Eugene, theciti
sen's nnrtv came toccther, or m
other words three factions con
vened viz: democrats, unionists and
nomilist. Of course these rc-
11
formers had to have a name, and in
order to keep peace in the hereto
fore disgruntled and desintregrUed
fumilv the name of "citizen was
chosen, which term like charity,
was evidently intended to cover a
multitude of evils. The appropri
ation of the word "Htixcn," which
is defined by Webster ae one who
"has the privilege of exercising
the elective franchise" plainly in
dicates that there are 110 definite
principles of poiitics, inasmuch as
the word applies to every voter in
the land be he democrat, populist,
or republican. None but citizens
are entitled to vote, and presuming
that a ros? by anv other name
vou'd smell as sweet," it is ap
parent that this acephalous ticket
will be placed in the field with the
understanding that the delusion
will work upon the unsophisticated
voters, who naturally take pride in
the fact that they are entitled to
the rights of citizenship.
Without submitting any living
issues to the public, the old togas
of the erstwhile Jeffersoniim de
mocracy were cast aside and
mingled with the threadbare gar
ments of St John, Weaver, Coxey
and other reformers.
This new born son of Babel
had to be named and so it was
christened "citizen." Montes labo
rant, et rediculus mus nascitur.
BONDAGE.
Fealty to party where none ex
isted was extorted by the following
motion, "moved that all parties be
excluded except those who are ex
ponents of the principles of the
party." Why "hide your light
under a bushel" if you have any?
Why not let it shine for the bene
fit of the misguided? According to
Holy writ the evil love darkness
better than light because their
deeds are evil. According to Web
ster the'leader of a party is the ex
ponent of its principles. Evidently
al! those who were not excluded
were leaders, and if so, the supply
and demand for offices will not
regulate itself. Free speech under
bondage, free press under a "citi
zens" arbitrary censorship is non
sense pure and simple. To eradi
cate wrong, to improve our moral
and political situations, to set aside
existing abuses, and to retrench ex
penditures by the freedom of the
ballot box is one of a citizen's just
and inalienable rights vouchsafed
to him by the constitution, which
he is entitled co exercise open and
above board. Secret orders, creeds
and political machinery should
never bind him to keep hidden a
gem ofenlightenmen from the com
monwealth at large of which he is
an integral part.
This game of "blind man's buff'
is a delusion and a snare, and in
fact it is "any old thing" to defeat
republicans. It will be a difficult j
task for the most adapt acrobat in
this newly formed ring to ride three
horses at once, however well he
may have been trained in political
somer saulting.
