TENSIONS FOlt INDIAN F1GHTKRS.
In the early settlements of Oregon the
settlers were subjected to the dire ravages
of barbarous warfare as were the earl set
tlers in New England and the south. Con
gress by the donation act invited American
citizens to se'.tle here as a meansof holding
possession of the territory now embraced
by Oregon and Washington against the
adverse claim set up by Great Britain. In
a national point of view this possession
was a matter whose value could not be es
timated in dollar and cents. It required a
spirit of courage, fortitude and patriotism
for those early pioneers to leave home,
friends and the endearing associations of
, civilization, to come to this then trackless
wilderness and make homes surrounded on
all sides by savage tribes of aborigines
Following the Whitman massacre.oi which
every pioneer has read and re-read in all
its brutal details, came thei'avuse war, in
which so many of the early pioneers took
part. For the services performed by these
brave men who took their lives in their
hands to avenge the horrible massacre of
Sr. Whitman and twelve others, all feel
that they should be amply rewarded. It
will be a matter of satisfaction to the few
remaining of these pioneers to know that
an earnest effort is being made to secure
from the general government a proper
recognition of their and their dead com
rade's services in that wai, in the way of
placing them on the pension lists of the
nation. As bearing upon this point we
have been shown a letter from Senator
Mitchell to Hon. R. A. Irvine, of this city
wh states that there seems to be no record
of the srganizations of Oregon militia or
volunteers at Washington City of those
who were called out to protect the lives.
homes and property of the early settlers
against the murderous attacks of the Cay
use and other Indian tribes. Senator
Mitchell's letter is accompanied by one
from Adjutant General Dunn, in which that
officer states that Capt. Wm. E. Birkhimer,
Acting Judge Advocate, Department of
the Columbia, stationed at Vancouver, W.
T., has been designated to investigate the
organization and service of the company of
which Lawrence Hall wai made captain,
We are informed that there are (several old
pioneers living in Linn county who were
members of that company. These gentle
men should correspond at once with Capt.
Wm. E. Birkhimcr,giving him all the facts
within their knowledge bearing upon this
important subject. This matter grows out
of a memorial Introduced in the late legis
lature by Senator Irvine, of this county,
asking Congress to pension these pioneer
Indian fighters on the same terms as pen
sions are granted to Mexican war veterans.
We see no reason why this slight recogni
tion of their valuable services should not
at once be granted.
The Solomon Valley Democrat published at
Minneapolis Kansas says:
"Knock the tariff off the raw material of
which twine is made, and if necessary admit
itself free, and the twine trust would die a
natural death. It is useless to attack these
trusts and uphold the principal source of their
being. This thought may be unpalatable to
many of our readers who believe in a protective
tarif), but it is easy to disprove it by investiga
tion if it is false. A mere denial for partisan
effect won't disprove it."
Bro. Democrat, your head is level. You
are a teacher of the true faith. The time is
not far (Ustant when the farmers of Kansas
will open their eyes to the truth of what you
say. "One more river to cross."
Foraker for the senate, Halstead for governor

B. F. Kayser and wife, of Marion. Illi
nois, have been appointed Superintendent
and Matron, respectively, of the Indian
school at Warm Spring Indian Agency.
This means, of course, that there are no
republicans in Oregon fit and competent to
take charge of the Indian school. It will
be remembered, that, when, under Cleve
land, some man from the east as appoint
ed farmer at the Warm Springs,the repub
lican papers of this state set up a long and
sanctimonious hnwl about a democratic
president sending men from a disUnce to
fill positions here, that, by right, should be
filled by citizens of the state. Criticisms,
then, of Cleveland's course, in the estima
tion of these brethren, could not be made
too severe. That, alone, they said, was
enough to sink Cleveland's administration.
But there seems to be.in the action of these
papers, a very broad, wide-out difference
between tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. We
hear no criticism of Harrison. These or
gans evidently believe in the doctrine that
"the king can do wrong," provided how
ever he is a king after their own heart.Thls
is one of the exemplifications of that dearly
loved doctrine of '-home rule," which he
was to observe su closely.

Those people who were disposed to think
that Secretary Bayard moved too slowly
with reference to the situation at Samoa,
will be interested to know that the present
administration will do nothing toward es
tablishing a coaling station at Pago Pago
until after the Berlin conference, for fear
of giving offense to Germany. The United
States has a clerly established right to set
up a coaling station there whenever it sees
fit to do so, and congress has appropriated
$100,000 for the purpose, but Mr. Blaine is
in no hurry to act in the premises. The
exigencies of the republican party In the
heat of a campaign, and the exigencies of
state policy when t'mt party controls the
dminUtration are widely different. '
A system that condemns tens of thousands
of industrious men to idleness and their families
to proverty and ignorance simply to enrich a
few who have seiz.d upon the gifts of nature
that they may sell to others the privilege of
living, is dangerous in a government like ours.
