Daily Democrat A POOR DEFENSE. Some time ago the Democrat, feeling that it was a duty which it owed to the public, showed up the shortcomings of the late legislature in a way that proved a mor tal offence to some asinine scribbler in the Oregom'an, who, doubtless, because the mention of his own name would prove a stench in the nostrils of decent people.finds it more convenient to hide behind an assum ed name. lie says he Is not surprised that democrats are kicking against the "wagon read appropriations" because they are al ways kicking when anything is to be done. This man who writes under the name of "Progress" says the democrats have gen erally opposed the acquisition of territory, internal improvements, the collection of federal revenue, and the education of the masses and a string of other charges, which none but an ignoramus or a falsifier would -think of making. But has not "Progress" gumption enough about him to knew that, -if all these assertions about democrats were itrue. they do not singly, nor in the aggre gate, constitute any defense to '.he charges of gross profligacy and inexcusable extrav agance which are brought and still stand unanswered agiinst the legislature ? No "Progress" failed to make a decent defense or reply to any of the many counts made Against the legislature. While the Demo crat will not allow "Progress" to shift the issue to a matter foreign to the subject, it will take time to show its readers what a falsifier of history and facts "Progress" is. He would make people believe that the democrats have always opposed the acqui sition of territory. Now what are the truths of history on this point ? Nearly two-thirds of the present area of the United States was acquired under democratic rule. Take the Louisiana purchase made by that im mortal democrat, Thomas Jefferson, and the territory of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, California, Nevada and a part of Colorado all acquired by the treaty with Mexico un der that other great democrat, James K. Pelk, and it is no matter of surprise that "Progress" should want to hide his face from the gaze of the public by covering it with an assumed name. The pharisee who is afraid to sign his name to his conglom erated mess of falsehoods, misrcpresentar ions, abuse, slander and vituperation, Imagines that such constitutes a defense to the charges which he evidently feels are weighing heavily upon his party, but the people will not permit their minds to be diverted from them by the silly chatter of the cowaid who hides behind anon de plume. Abuse of the Democrat will not clear the skiits of "Progress" and Vis party from the stains of the outrage practiced upon the people. The people of Linn county arc told by this man, "Progress," who has "stolen the livery of the court of heaven to serve the devil in," that they can raise money by subscription or by local taxation to build their roads and bridges, now, after having beer, compelled by a re publican legislature to contribute thousands if dollars of their hard earned ta-.ces to build local roads for Tillamook.Coos.Currj, Grant, Morrow and other counties. This li adding insult to injury by presenting the covert threat that these cormorants who congregate around the public treasury have the power and intend to use it. Well, the people will have their say after awhile. Secretary Windoni has decided to give only 29 cents premium in purchasing 4 per cent u S Bonds, and 8 cents premium in buying four and a half percent. This premium which the people have to pay on their debts which they w ant to settle is the burden placed on their shoulders because the republicans refuse to re duce taxation. Generally when a debtor wants to pay his debt the creditor is glad to get dollar for dollar but here the people are compelled to pay 129 cents for each 100 they owe of 4 per cent bonds, and 108 cents for each loo cents they owe of 4! per cent bonds. And all thifi because republican policy makes it possible and practicable for bondholders to thus wrench I.-.- r.K- U thev do not owe at all. It is a beautiful policy I and we hope our farmers and laboring men who ' supported this pol:.cy last fall will open their ,' eyes to its practical workings. A couple of poor immigrants on their way to California had a baby born to them on a South ern Pacific trt in some days ago, and out cf gratitude wanted the passengers, who made up a fine p urse for the little fellow, to choose his name, and that of Grover Harrison was finally decided upon.

Russell Harrison, it seems, is likely to heap some reproach upon.and attach scan die to.the Harrison name. He was arrest ed the other day on a charge of criminal libel In publishing in a paper published in Helena, Montana, an article charging ex Governor Crosby ol that territory with be inir a diamond thief, moral leper and sev- B eral other very derogatory charges. Young Harrison says he was not in Helena in Anrll. 1S77. when the article was published, while the foreman of the paper says he wRs.and that he ordered the article puDllsn ed. The article appeared in the Helena paper on April 301I1. 1S87. When Russell Harrison denied b' inlnthe territory at that time, Crosby's f..onds began to search for proof showing that he was, and they found it In the hotel register 01 tne ,osmo nnlltan. where it appears that young liar rison registered on the 32nd and left on the 10th of ADril. the latter being the very aay on which the article appeared. From this It would appear tn it the young gentleman was caught napi ! 4 in his attempts to fib out of his libel suit. bany, al A MOCK DOWN ARGUMENT.

In a memorial on the subject he refers with contempt to the American navy, which he declares would he powerless as an aggressive movement.
