The oenlni: proyer to this st-r inon wa made some weeks ago. The homily will now be delivered after which the concluding petition will be put up. Just at this time we thlak a few remarks to the old democrats of Cal la way county will not be out ol place. Many of the old guard are busily eneaged in criticising and abusing the bridge tbt carried them over the stream after camping in the woods In the vicinity of the ford for twenty-five years. We camped lu the woods and voted and voted and wandered around and voted again. In IHG4 we votiil for .MOlliinl, In S0 we vottil for SryiiMtur, In W2 we voted for Orwk-y, (then we were knawingr a Hie) iu 1S70 we voted for Tilden (then we thought day wan breaking) In Ihho we voted for Han cork, (then we went into winter quarters on short rations,) in 188-1 our Monoamine capering out upon the green sward and we voted for Cleveland and won, the flrdj winning vote since we voted for Buchanan before the war. Many of us did not like Cleveland's civil service procllv I ties, but Just what we did not like made his nomination and election possible. Oh, how we, whooK'd hurrahed and Jubileedl We thought we bad thetarth by the forelock. We were In it up to our chins. Rut, my dear fellow democrats of Calla way, our Moses sprung the Issuo ol tariff reform upon the country In a message and in 1888 we with our Mow retired Into the Wildnerness and knawed pawpaw bark on the bushes for four yours, while the re publicans wallowed In luxurious fat ness with a hundred million dollars in the treasury. With the president aud both houses of congress the re publicans turned fliptlap and ate fresh mackerel. They passed the McKlnley bill and granted ieiisloiis. They bathed in cologne water and used the most expensive perfumes. We crawled around on our abdomens under the table from which not a crumb fell. We howled for tarifl reform all the time with a ensiou fraud chorus lnterMersed with a looted treasury nnd n billion dollar congress. About six months prior to the con vention in 1 Hiii' our Moses wrote a letter denouncing theHhermnn law for the punhase of silver, which made his nomination possible. We western democrats pawed the earth and kicked acorns out of the tallest oak trees. We swished our posterior appendages and put both hind foot outside of the traces, but we quieted down and became as docile as lumbs. Our Moses stood Arm, looked us full In the face under the circum stance? and said he was for pension reform, for tariff reform, and under existing circumstances, opposed to the fro aud unlimited coinage of silver. Wt nil knew just where be stood. Ho played his right hand upon the table all the time. He whs consistent, lie never deceived no one. We met at Chicago. The politicians for the most part were opponed to him. He had but few friends in the United States senate. The people, the farm ers and laboring men all over the country were for him. He was nom inated against the protest of politi cians and senators. He swept the country. The issue which he sprang in 1884 enabled us to capture the entire bakery ex ecutive, senate and bouse, and now we are howling and gnashing our teeth and abusiug the only man we have been able to elect for thirty years. Had Mr. Cleveland followed your plans and policies and pursued the course which would have met with your entire approval, we would today, as a party, my dear democrats of Missouri, lie out ol power and ground under the heel ol the trusts, monopolies and combines of the East. Now it is about time to stop all of this abuse and wrang ling. (Stop cursing, abusing and criticising the only man you can elect, get Into line and stand up for your own leader. Get into line and stand your ground and turn a deal ear to those misinformed and vinegar-faced Journalists who would make you believe that Mr, Cleve land was one of the meanest men now living, and that the action of congress was the quintessence of all infamies and that if nod be force shall be used.

It is not well to a-ume too hastily that the rebuke to Commodore Stan ton by the secretary of the navy Is to be construed as an Implied assertion of the Monroe doctrine, or that th nations of Europe so regarded it. Stanton made a grave mistake In recognizing Admiral Mello officially, and the United States government could do no less than disclaim hi action and recall him to answer for his mistake. In general, Judging from the best Information that can be obtained, it may be said that the insurgents under Mello are making no real headway, riiey shell a town or a fortress tun u a while aud obtain seemingly a temporary success, but tneir cause obtains no new adherents on shore, and the jsiwer aud influence of Pres ident I'eixoto Is not sensibly weak oued. A revolution cannot succeed unless It be backed up by at least a considerable weight of public sent! ment, and that sentiment Mello doe not appear to have galucd in llrar.il. There might he a brilliant naval engagement, resulting iu M olio's favor, which should turn the tldo of iiubllc opinion, but such a thing la not likely. I'eixoto has picked up several ships of war here and there ktiiich are quite as well ottlcered aud manned as Mcllo's ships, and In case f a fight Mello certainly would uot nave things all his own way. After all the so-called war is a very insiguiticant affair, a good deal like tempest in a teupot. One side is on shorn and cue on sett, and neither manifests any overj owering desire to come to close quarters. The jieople of Rrazil, outside of thn immediate sphere of iutllucnccof I'eixoto's army and Mello's navy, do not seem spe cially interested in the outcome. They probably know that though the government may be republican in form they will have but little to say In its administration, and there fore are indifferent to tlio result of a struggle which Is largely, if not en tirely, political, In a partisan sense. 1.0,1 ALIZVIIO.N II v cjism.

What would you do about It? Would you take the pardoning power away from the governor?- -Statesman. Yes, place the jiower In the hands of the legislature.- Guard. The Gazette suggests that the criminal courts throughout the state be discontinued during the remainder of Pennoycr's term, or else have the governor com mitted to the asylum for the next six months. No, no, say we. lit! him have material upon which to xercise the fine feelings of his heart. Oeary, (Dem.) remarked to a knot of fellow congressmen a few days ago when speaking of the Wilson tariff bill : "I wish I could play Wilson's part for a short time. If I could I would fix that bill so that its father wouldn't know it. I would lift the scalp of that Infant sure." Mr. Rtssl, who was present, shook his head sorrowfully and drawled i "Too bad, Geary, too bad. Only think of It! Instead of scalping that baby you will be obliged to kiss it." And Mr. Geary, who Is one of the demo cratic "kickers" who will cease to "klek" Just before the final vote Is taken, had not another word to sy on the subject.

The Washington correspondent of the New York Commercial Adver tiser is credited with the statement thut members of Congress from the South are disposed to make trouble over the taritf question. Ho says that the investigations made by the Ways and Means Committee during the preparation of the WII-m.ii bi.l showed tba' the protection scntimeut Is growing in the South with extra ordinary rapidity. And It is said that an attempt Is being made by some of the leading Southern busi ness nn n to get one of the Southern Senators to introduco a rosolution in the (Senate dirluring (baton account of tlre present lmsinos depression it is the si-use of tlm Senate that there should be no revision of the tariff fur two years. We think it very unlikely that any Senator from the .South can bo found to projiose such a resolution, and it is reasonably eertaiu that if it should bo offered by any onelt would ls Incon tinently rejected. The South Is ruled to-day absolutely dominated by the M)liticitl class, by Democratic politicians. The members of Con gress from the South are, above all things, representatives of this class. Everything they do is done from the standpoint of politics. Hustings In terests and all oilier considerations are sulsirdiuated to partisan necessi ties and ends. The national Demo cratic party to which they lielong Is pledged to Immcdiato tariff revision, if not to free tntdo. For the party to abandon its tariff bill at this lime would amount to an absolute surrender of Its principles and result in inevitable defeat at the next dic tion. The hope of Democratic ns. cendency in the South, where Ibe Democratic party Is actually in a minority in several States, Is wrapped up iu continuation of Die Democratic control of the l-'edoral Government. Alsivenll things the political class in the South fear the return of the Re publicans to nwcr. They fear the possible awakening, however remote, of (he old Ropulilican spirit. A Fed oral fits lion law w hich would guar antee luolection at the Kills to the negroes, though tin-re is little or no prospect of its living pusNisI, Is still a buxls-iir which frightens every Dem ocrat into luie. Aud then there is another danger w hich the Southern iH-itK M-r.it ie Hiliticl;ins are obliged to fits- iu Mime of the States. The si ulists and Fanners' Alliance have to le reckoned with. In one or two States they have actually gained par tial control. It is true that their lendeis are only another brood of l iticians and that they are as bitterly opposed to the Republicans us the Donna-rats. Still, such sloughing otf from the old party Is dangerous and must lie checked. Therefore the constant and elli-olive cry of the Southern loaders is to stand solidly in line for the national Democratic party. And this the Southern Con gressmen will tlo. Though it is true, as ointisl out by Mr. Recti in his minority rcsirt on the Wilson bill, that the South is deeply Interested in maintaining the protective system, and though it is a fact that the sugar and rice planters and the iron and coal men of West Virginia and Alabama have Is-cu lighting for tho retention of protec tive duties on their product, still it has boon usn their part a purely selfish and unprincipled fight, to use the word in an odd sens-. That is to say, in all that has Ik-cii said lie before the ways aud means commit tee and in all that will lie said in congress in behalf of retaining duties on sugar, rice, coal, iron ore and lumls-r in the interest of portions ol the South, there has not been and will not U- one word uttered in favor of the protect i vo system. The South erners who are lighting for the re tention of particular protective duties want free trade for the rest of the country in order not to sitcrillce the democratic party. In this selfish policy they should receive no assist ance from the republicans. If free trade is to Ik- administered to the country lot them take their shar of the medicine. Tho parlies having the contract to deliver the Hull Run water pipe have unhitched from their wagons and sulistitu'.isl sleds which slip quite lightly over the mud. The 'runners" have a face eight Indus broad, which nets as a mountain man's snow hoe. The pis- now Is-ing hauled is 42 Inches in diameter, and a -lo-foot length, weighs 1 tons. The ens, and facility with which those lengths can be b sided and unloaded from a sled, a fi m pared with a high wagon, is quite a saving in the cost of hand ling the pipe. The passage of the wide sled runners ovtr the road will have a tendency to smoot.'i off and solidify the road nnd thus get it into condition for hauling with wagons earlier in the spring than could other wise bo.

The Democrat has watched with hi tores t and li.c reusing admiration the official course of H. H. l.uoc, the populist state food commissioner, and we have not hesitated to accord hi in ample praise for the good work he has done in Portland and elsewhere j warn punishing unscrupulous nunc men anil ttoiilers iu other ioou product--. We had about come to the conclusion that nil public ofikials were tarred with the same brush w hen our attention was railed to Mr. Luce, and after noting the many good things he bad done, we were prepared lo asM-rt that iu mm we hud at hist found an oftlcial who r-itl!y Ix-lii-vcd that public ofllco wa a public tru-t. Our confidence in human nature was restored nnd wo wore willing to accept Luce us an otFsct for Massle. Rut even this so htce has been denied us and we art set back in the Slough of lH-sMnd by the information that Mr. Luce travels up and down the state of Oregon, do ing good, on a pus. It does not appear that the posses sion of this pass iu any way deters Mr. Luce from doing hisoftlclal duty. It is prolmhlo 1 1 ti t he would pull a railroad eorjioratlon Just as quickly for selling swill milk as he would an individual; but there is no method of testing this, as tho corMirations do not sell milk, though they freqticntly water the stook and milk the stock holders. Tliero appears to Im no chance for Mr. Luce to prevent this, as the law creating his ofllce, while condemning milk that contains more than a certain per cent, of water, says nothing about the amount of water that may Ihi legally injected into Its stock by a company that has figured out Hie proilt that can lie made by going into the bands of a recoivt r. Therefore the fact that Mr. Luce Is tho happy possessor of u pas will not militate against the public interests and concerns us only lu its moral as- e-t. To find that one whom you set upon a pedestal of sujKrior virtue is neither U-tter nor worse than the rest of mankind Is disappointing, but it Is far worse when one of the"pbnr-Isee-j falls from his high estate. It causes tho coplo to distrust the sect nnd wonder If, nfter all, this genera tion of holier-than-thou ililiciaiis is any better than either of the two old gangs.
