POPULATION OF SUMPTER 4,500.
AT SEVEN o'clock yesterday morning
General John M. Palmer died In his
Snrlnuheld. Illinois, home, nged eighty-
three years. His was an eratlc career, of i
some honor and much prominence.
THE exposure by the PortlanJ Tele
gram ol the Oregon Republican Press as
relation's attempt to hold up the national
committee, reveals that outfit to be a choice
giUxy ot lobsters. They wanted the
money expended for "boiler plate" politi
cal supplements paid directly to the pub
fishers of country newspapers. The
chances are that these suppllmcnts con
Atitute the Type Foundry trust's contribu
tion to the republican campaign fund.
THIS is the season when the politician
with the self cockiilK mouth swears by all
tfce ttods of his party that he didn't say
et didn't say something that the news
papers quoted him as saying.. Then, the
chances are that his explanation of what
tie did s.iy is a bigger fool proposition
than the one he is denying. Of course
lew Intelligent people believe the politician
m against the newspaper, and it Is a lon
hhot chance that the newspaper quotation
was correct In the first place. Hoth Roose
velt and Hanna have recently neen placed
in this position. Hryau generally stands
pat and rrlter.ites the Idea still more for
iMy. He is exceedingly "handy" with
both his mouth and thinking apparatus.

IN THI: constitution ot this state Is the
Inlliiwinir tirovlsleii:
"No free negro or mulatto, not residing J
In this state at the time ot the adoption of
the constitution, shall coitir, reside or be '
within this Mate, or hold any real rstate, '
make any contracts, or maintain anv suit I
therein. And the legislative assembly i
Miall provide bv penal laws lor the re-
moval by public officers of all such ue-1
groes or mulattors, and lor their i IUMii.iI
exclusion trout the state, and lot the pun-1
ishment of persni.s who shall brum them
Into the state, or employ 01 harbm them."
Discussing this section, Governor (ieei
s.iys the Organi. law in tills p.trtlt ul.it Is
never enlorced. Continuing, he sav:
"At the time of the adoption ot the urn
ktitution, in 1K5N, this section was sub
mitted separately, and the popular vole
was K040 in its tax or and 10S1 an 1I11M it. '

that, while an amendment in l.ivor ot
sl.iveiy was oted down at the same tlci
lion by a vote ot .fits in lavor ol and ?7-'7
against, the section tor the expulsion ol
free negroes was adopted, probably as a
compromise, and, as viewed ironi this
date, a disgraceful concession to the l.iv
riy element. Out constitution stands to
day as adopted In iKc.8, in every respect,
although many efforts haw been m ide to
amend It in several patticulats, and so

seem that it Is doubtful it it will ever be.

'I hese remarks are called forth by the
statement published In a Baker City pa-
I per and reproduced in another column ot
THH MINER today, that already labor
troubles are brewing In the Cable Cove
district, where a Miner's union is said to
have recently been organized.
'I here Is no occasion for any such agi
tation In eastern Oregon at this time.
Unions are needed where large numbers
of men are employed needed for reasons
not necessary to mention here. Hut in a
region as new as the gold fields of eastern
Oregon, tvhere comparatively few miners
are employed, where every man capable
of doing manual labor can get some kind
of work to do at living wages, It Is
worse than useless to inaugurate that Ir
ritating contest between employers and
employees.
Mineowners, of course, want thnt ap
parently Inevitable contest postponed as
long as possible and they can do much In
that direction, by exercising discretion In
selecting the men to whom they give em
ployment. At the present stage of the
mining Industry, this Is not an Impossible
task, as it will be later on, when the
number employed Is largely Increased.
The best, n o -t Intelligent and loyal min
ers are native born American citizens, the"
pioneers or their descendents; men who
hope some day to be millionaire mine own
ers themselves, whose earnings are In
vested in tunnels and shafts on their own
claims. Such men will neither endure the
imposition of bosses nor listen to t,he dic
tation ot walking delegates. There are
many such in eastern Oregon, and mine
owners owe it to themselves to give them
i the prrfeience at all times.
