WHAT WOULD YOU DO.
The Democrat is in a quandry what
to do. A man took the weekly for a
good many years, and not only made
no apparent effort to pay, but did not
even give the satisfaction of explain
ing the wherefore of his conduct, and
became proof against collecting agen-
.cics.aud fill personal efforts to secure
-what was justly due. rinany nc uicu:
and the Democrat made the custom
ary death notice with a mere state
ment of the fact. Then came a well
written obituary of a eulogistic char
nctcr. This brought the question up
forcibly, whether the Democrat should
publish it except as advertising mat
ter. or even as that. If a man does
the best he can in the world that is
enough; but where one deliberately
beats you, if you were running a news
paper, would you publish an unsigned
eulogy when you didn't believe the
case justified it?
U. S. AND NIC.
This trouble between the United
States and Nicaragua is getting in
teresting anyway. It looks now as if
it is to be a bloodless affair, which is
the proper way to dispose of it, for it
certainly would bo like a fight between
a lion and a mouse. Zclaya undoubt
edly is simply getting ready to give
up to Uncle Sam and let him settle
the Nicaraguan matters himself, and
to suit himself, which will be satis
factory to the rest of the world, and
particularly to the revolutionists of
Nicaragua, who will thus come into
.power. The doings of even small 'na
tions are worth watching, and just
now Nicaragua, a country of about
the size of Oregon in population, half
.the size in extent, arc being closely
watched, offering the world some les
sons worthy of consideration.
OR. AND ILL.
An Albany man lias shown the
Democrat a' clipping from an Illinois'
ipapcr telling of the sale of two quar
ter sections at an average price of
$249 an acre. The land is about the
same as if thirty miles from Albany,
part of it having no improvements
on it at all. When we think our pric
es here arc getting up, a glance at an
item like this will make us appreciate
the fact that, notwithstanding our
superior soil, we will have to go some
before reaching the eastern stage of
prices.' Some day, though, this valley
will see many such sales, with equal
prices for the same kind of land, and
many timer tat for improved prop-
erty.
THINKING OF OTHERS. !
One- splendid thing about the
Christmas season, is that it makes
people think about others. ' Most of
us get steeped in self during the hus-
tie of business, in the mad rush tor a i
Hiving, with everybody looking out for
Al; but here comes the giving season !
When people nave lu uiiiiiv auum uilii
relatives and friends. It may be, to
a certain extent, a trade affair; but
nevertheless it breeds a spirit of gen
erosity, and makes us for awhile turn
cur thoughts to those around us. It
-would be a great thing if there could
be more giving to those that need it;
but anyway you put it, it has its merit,
and deserves the attention paid it.

At a regular meeting of the Central
Labor Council of Portland and vicin
ity, the following preamble and reso
lutions were unanimously adopted:
"Whereas, It is provided by section
11 of the People's Direct Primary Law
of Oregon, that 'every such political
party (referring to parties that cast
25 per cent or more of the whole num
ber of votes given for representative
in Congress) shall nominate all its
candidates for public office under the
provisions of this law and not in any
otner manner, and it is turther de
dared in the preamble of said law
that 'all qualified electors who wish
to serve the peojle in an elective pub
he office are rightfully entitled to
equal opportunities under the law,
and
"Whereas, Certain former political
bosses and machine politicians seek to
nullify the above vital provisions of
t lie law by the following methods
They propose to call assembly con
ventions of alleged delegates to usurp
the name and authority of their politi
cal parties; these assembly conven
tions are to recommend a slate of
candidates dictated by the bosses, who
intend also that there shall be only
one of their machine candidates for
each nomination against two or more
candidates for the same nomination
who are opposed to machine rule, and
these former bosses boast of their
success with this plan in Portland last
spring, and privately declare that they
will by this method restore govern
ment in Oregon by the machine, and
repeal the Initiative and Referendum.
and all other laws through which the
people have gained power in Oregon
during the past ten years, and
"Whereas, The purpose and intent
of said assembly is not to come to
gether as citizens to advise and agree
together, and to make such recom
mendations in their own names and
by their own authority to their fellow
citizens as they may deem wise, but is
intended to be and is a convention of
delegates asserting the power and
right to act with authority for others,
and to bind them to a course of po
litical conduct, thus usurping the name
and authority of then political parties,
therefore, be it
"Resolved, That vre hereby ask all
law-abiding citizens tr pledge with us
their earnest endeavor, by all honor
able means, to defeat entry candidate
for nomination and election who seeks
or accepts, without publi'ely protest
ing, any recommendation or endorse
ment bv any so-called assembly or
convention of delegates of any politi
cal party which is subject to the Di
rect Primary Law, and be ir further
Resolved, iuat m making the
above urciaration, we do hereby re
affirm arid emphasize our adherence
to, and our faith in, those provisions
of the Magna Cliarta and of the Con
stitution of the United States, sealed
jtli the blood of our forefathers,
which guarantee to all citizens the
right to pcacabiy assemble as citizens,
and to advise and agree together, and
