Daily Democrat
CHEEK AND UAfU
CONVICTS UIMSELf.
The editor ef the Orrgoniaa convicts
himself of misrepresentation. On! a few
dav ato he said that "Cleveland slaught
ered nearly the whole line of republican
official without mercy, but his example is
not to be followed." This it said with
r reference to officials who w ere appointed
f?r 5iv?. !V! not Vlth reference to
'. -t' those wiia iiel J ollice at the pleasure of
some superior. The Democrat shone J
tint the statement i In r. large measure
false, by referring to '.he fact that not a
postmaster in Oregon who held office for a
given term had been leu-.evcd by Cleve
land. A everybody knows.tlic same gen
cral policy was pursued in every state in
i ....
me i mon. ine i.ii:moir. at expressly
said that "no fact relatieto Cleveland's
tdministiition is more clearly established
than the one that, as a rule, he permitted
republican officials, tfi'.W Ar a term ef
.four years to serve their terms out.' The
Or.gonian mentions republican officials
in Oregon appointed for a term of four
vears w ho were removed by Cleveland.
Tne Democrat now mentions postmasters
a' the following- places whem Cleveland
permitted to serve their terms out.nainely:
Albany, Astoria, liaker City, Corvallis,
East Portland, Eugene City, Jacksonville,
Oregon City, Pendleton, Portland, Salem
and The Dalles. Now compare this fact
with what the Oregcnini. said about Cleve
land's "slaughtering nearly the whule line I
of republican officials," and see what a re
markably small grain of truth only can be
extracted from its vcrv large bundle of
misrepresentation. ;;The Oregonian would
3taye us explain w hy Cleveland removed
the collectors of internal revenue. This is
doiging the issue entirely. The Demo
crat spoke of officials who were appointed
for a term of four years, hence collectors
Ol internal revenue are not included in that
class of officials, as they are appointed to
hold officeU the pleasure of a superior. It
-would be just as pertinent (or the Demo
CRAT to ask the Oregtuiua to be "kind
enough" to explain why, under the "civil
service" of Harriron, fourth class postnins
tcrs all over the country arc being removed
at the rate of scores per day. Could it tell
why the very firs'; of this class to fall in
Oregon w as an honorably discharged vet
eran of the war, to make room for a local
republican politician who is as ignorant of
the smell of powder as the Origanum is of
political consistency ? Hut tiie Dr.mocrat
does not deem it necessary that the reason
should be explained to any one, for all
know that this administration wants these
offices and that ere long they will have
them, too. It would gladly take the presi
dential postoffices with the same spirit of
greed for the spoils were it not constrained
by public opinion to follow the example
et it by Cleveland. The rower of exam
ple is not without its worth even in politics.
The department of agriculture is wrest
ling with 'he question : "What shall take
the place of wheat on farms where it can
no longer be raised at a profit ?' The re
sponsibilities of Secretary Rusk being
overwhelming just at present.this particu
lar matter is in the hands of the Assistant
Secretary, Prof Willets, who is concen
trating his energies upon a letter from poor
old Ireland suggesting that "Max" is the
proper answer to the conundrum. I it his
informed the sender that his missive will
kc earnestly considered by the department
and a decision arrived at as soon as possi
ble. The question will probably come up
in the next cabinet meeting, and sooaer or
later our farmers w ho have w heat fields
which are unprofitable will know w hat to
do with them. It can be seen that peo
ple who thought that the Secretary of Ag
riculture would not have enough to do
were mistaken.
The Democrats are complain? because l'resi'
dent Harrison has removed a few Democratic
officials. If Bourbon method had been fol
lowing every ortke in the gift of the president
would now le filled by Republicans. Moan
tainetr.
We suppose the Mountaineer means by the
expression "Bourbon methods' the policy pur
sued by Cleveland hile president. If so we
hive only to express our regret that tint paper
has strayed so far from the line of f.-.cls and
fair dealing. Let us see, Den;o.iats are not !
complain'r.g that Hanison removes democrats
from office, but they do complain of an J Jespise
the hypocritical pretense made by 1 Iiir: Ison that i
lie w ill follow out the civil service law as well
as the i ledges made in the platform ujon
which he was elccteJ and his own pledge in his
letter of acceptance, tlut no removals from
office would be made on account of politics.
while t the same time he is miking them daily
for that and no other reason. But the Moun
taineer says that if "Bourbon methods,CIeve
land's policy,) had been followed every office
in the gift of the president would now be tilled
by a republican." 1 id Cleveland remove the
republican postmaster at Dalles where the
Mountaineer is published? No, he did not
ar.d that paper knew this as well as its knows
any fact. Did Cleveland remove any republi
can postmaster in Oregon holding a presidential
office? lie did not and the Mountaimrr knew
this truth full well. We might go on and
mention thousands of republican officials w ho
served their terms out under "Bourbon
methods." It must take a good supply of gall
and cheek to induce one to place himself in the
awkward attitude in which the editor of 'he
Mountatnetr his voluntarily chosen to place
mmseir.

In prirate life Sir Julian is found to be an inter

raconteur. Me can stand u)on his dignity with
a grand air, but as a rule, he is courteous to
affability and kindliness, lie is seen to the
best advantage after dinner, when the strains
of music are heard in the drawing room. He is
a technical musician of high quality foi an ami
teur. Whether Washington society will make
the most of the Itritidi Minister's social quali

has repeatedly ej.iessed his opinion of it, that
he looks forw ard with much pleasure to his term
