The fact! that - in most universities of the United States the student body is thoroughly and al most rabidly democratic, in ; the best and -most' general sense of that often abused and distorted termhaa not al- jm . l ' . 1. 1 M ed editorial suspicion that wealth Is corrupting the political Ideas of our college youth. ' j College faculties welcome poor sta dents because men who win; undergo: privations for the sake-of a college ed ucation are very likely, to do good work a college and be a credit . tdi their .alma mater 1 In after llfe ' Co' saquently the faculty and officers of every university stand ready to 4 do overy thing in their power to help poor student fight his way, j A large percentage of the student body , "Up-j port themselves at college by working at nights or -between lectures, and a record of the employments by which woufd amaze the well-paid " sybarites who. declaim against, the luxury and "extravagance of college boys, j ' t ; Moreover, there is not the least per ceptible;: discrimination i against the toor student. The rich man at col leger who attempted to. put on airs be fore a poor man would find college life very' unpleasant during the remainder of his stay. Absolute democracy is more nearly Teallted among "the stu dents at tf- university "than anywhere e!s-on this mundane ball. If a stu dent la gentleman, however poor he may be, b;1s.the peer of : any; mlUlon alnre's son, and if he Is not a gentle man, w hether- rich or poor, he has no rlgtvt to be welcomed as a familiar by men whd are gentlemen. And the uni versity test 'ot gentility doesj not In clude questions of family on money. It covers only the personal nualltles of the Individual man. " r l! K . f i There aret so many ways at college of supporting one's self, either entirely or with sliglht assistance from home, so many scholarships to be .won, o many positions more or less remuner nllve, that any" lad of brains and enterprise- can get a. college eduoatlon. And, tot: a. man of brains and enter prise, a college education Is the best soil of working capital throughout life. It is not essential to success, and there are men who have given them selves a liberal education bjr private study, but a college education is worth four years of any man's life TTnfor tunately. there are men on whom a college education: Is wasted, but 'these ii r Midom the men who worked their way through college. 1 THE WAR CONDUCTED WITHOUT . . . ;.- CANNON. ' r . ;T'-r There is a fierce war going "on In ;thls country, " Although no cannon are em-; ployed In this war, the hostile forces are arrayed against each other In every section of the land, and the conflict la accompanied- by all the waste and ides-' tructlon and all the suffering character istic of military and pitched battles. - Within a year capital and labor have fought. two important general engage ad?, OF SIX W EC ICS ' Brslnnfns: Vonday, June 3t.wi: be coa iucted la n of the rooms of the Port' Xtni Busineaa CoUrfre, cmer Jhrk! arid Washington frtreets.

This is a Kind of force the use of which the law permits.: but , wTUeh. nevertheless, is force. What is the - difference "be tween pointing a gan at. a man. there by, compelling him to work, and starv ug him. thereby compelling him to work? And what Is the difference be tween menacing a man's factory with a dynamite bomb. ; thereby compelling him to yield more pay for fewer hours of labor, and menacing him with bank ruptcy, thereby achieving the same purpose? : ! 1 The industrial conflict.- therefore, . is a war differing from a military- war only in' the weapons and in the Vrt of force used by the belligerents. : In the course of this conflict commerce is impeded and sometimes suspended as it was during the recent strike of the car men in San Francisco. Sometimes the food supply of large cities is cut off pas thoroughly by a peaceful strike as it would be by a. rniliUry Investment. In Chicago, for example, there is a lack of fresh meat at the present time be cause -.labor '-troubles : have suspended the slaughtering business, and the peo- ple are undergoing - perhaps Just. as much privation as they would undergo during a siege of the city by an invad ing foreign army. So,, too. in.Westerti Pennsylvania the lockout of the coal miners has all the effects on the com munity that a military campaign lit the region would have. Families cut down their expenses to the lowest possible point ". Theatres iciose. . i Storekeepers suspend credit.- it Capital withdraws from the territory. Gloom,: foreboding. anxiety, melancholy, are visible on ev ery countenance. : Men lounge about the streets, idle and discontented. No smoke ours out of the tall chimneys. Industry is dead. , i ' ' v There is hardly ever a time when one of these Industrial pitched battles is not going on in some part of the land. And Jn every city there are numberless skirmishes which are sometimes fierce ly fought and. destructive In a small way, though they may not be reported In the -papers. Here the men In a paint shop walk out, there the carpenters on a liouse which Is building strike be cause the plumbing contractor buys pipe from a non-union dealer; In an other place the Teamsters' Union ..In sists on the restoration of a teamster who has been" discharged for . reasons unsatisfactory to the union. " Some timescapital wins these battles and skirmishes, , and sometimes labor: wins. In the end capital and labor will come to terms and the conflicts, so wasteful to both, will cease. But the end of the industrial War Is not yet In sight. ; And it Is a real war that is the point to be remembered. SanFranclsco Bulletin. It Is a real war. And the end is not yet In sight But each battle marks a little "of progress, f After each "contest there Is better wages ' paid., oir shorter hours for labor or better conditions in some particular .- for - the tollers, -or a promise . of ... improved .v condi tions, i The pity of it all ls 'that this ' is vicaripus sufferings." That 1 Is unforunately . the - rule of progress, and . It : has , . always been The men of the present generation fight and suffer and die that the men of the next may have greater freedom or improved conditions. These labor troubles grow Icitf of "the condftions of progress, too. The luxuries of this generation or 'this year become "the necessities of ,the,next. The man who does the labor " of the world has ,tbe same" right" to the en joyments of life as the man who furn ishes the employment, and! the children of the poor are as much the concern of the state as ' the " children ot the richi This for. the safety of the state, guaranteelsg thesafety of the children of the. rleh as well as those of the poor, where there is popular educa tion.

In order to allow the families of the workers the comforts of life. These things are the 1 concern of tfie state. They must commend the at tention of statesman.

DECLINE QP THE FIGHTING MAN. : Gunpowder and ' commerce ' Jointly and severally have wrought a number of changes iOipolitics and society. One signal ; result; of r the co-operation of thesetw' agencies has beenthe rele gation of the fighting man to his prop er place. ; . ; .. " - ., f In the good old days when might end right looked so much alike thart rnqst people took them for one and the same thing, the fighting man was the only person, of any. weight In council or so ciety ' An other people were womtn or sta-r. .He was king who. like Saul, was head and shoulder higher than any man of his people, and the weakling fared ill. ' , ; ' In later times and until a rompora- tlvely recent date the world was very much concerned with broils and bat- lies, and the profession of arms, dur- Ing the feudal period was second In j honor only t,o the priesthood. Ills- ; tnrl t't'l 1"H .Tlnetr-er-tS r.rttirv I , " was a battle and conditions of the common people: .... . They dealt chiefly with courts and ar - .- -. . . cept mat or a sues. statesman .or a warrior; :; Until the modern schooL of historians was founded' it was almost Impossible to learn from the histories anything about the roads or the do mestic life and manners of a country, or the Sports and ideas of the plain people j Entire volumes of English history were given to military cam paJgns in France and to royal "gene alogies, while the historians seemed not to know,' as Maoaulay somewhere remarks, that a country can be con tented and prosperous at home while Its arms are suffering defeat abroad; and can. be Impoverished and wretched it borne while its armies are winning glorious victories in foreign lands. f The fighting man is a good deal bet ter than the mere slaughterer which some philosophers, of quake.rish bent. would ' paint cim. He " has done an important part in the work "of civiliza tion and; progress; done It unconscious ly, for the most1' part, and with that terrific Waste of force - and" material which, as one f evolutionist " observed. has .marked the' struggle of existence. Society jis; held together in a greater or less degree, by force, and the sol dier la that ultima ratio, or last argu ment, whom socletly must maintain in reserve, although K dislikes to employ him.. ; For' this reason1 the profession of arms will always be both honored and honorable. - It can, be proved by a set of the mos,t; perfect syllogisms that war is waste, ; that It is foolish, that It damages both sides and profits neither, and that it oughtto be abolished; but while human nature remains as It is. it is a wise precaution for a nation to keep an army. ''-'. ';"",::";- But gunpowder, by making a," little man aa powerful as a large man, and commerce, by Increasing the import ance of the merchant until the fight ing man became, in a way, bis servant, have tended to deprive ' the .fighting man of his monopoly of honor. - In stead of being the only profession. arms Is j now second to some, of th more peaceful, professions. In time, of peace the fighting man la required to take a back seat. ' ' History treats now adays of the success or failure of a nation's commerce as it does, of a na tion's armies.', This state of affaira Is gratifying to .the civilian; ; and reflec tions, like these may console him for the evident partiality' "shown by , the young women of the land for shoulder straps ,and brass buttons. OREGON. The First district of Oregon, wherein the Hon.i Thomas H. Tongue was re elected to Congress on -Monday, gave him two years ago onfy 3,019 plurality and no iriajorlty whateyer. This year Congressman Tongue, who. by the way. Is one of the most, silent members: of the House, carries hi dis trict by Ja greatly Increased plurality. according to present estimates .nearly double that of 1900. . ' ' In the Second district, which has been more strongly Republican than the 'First a new candidate, Mr. Wlll-I lamson, seems to have maintained. If not ' surpassed, the large majority achieved jby Mr. Moody two years ago; I Assuming that the complete returns Will elect a Democratic Governor, the defeat of Furnish is manifestly due to local and personal causes and the oper ation -of the sinister Influences of which w spoke before the ' electlon. The slxe of the plurality of the rt,of the state ticket and for the candidates for Congress Indicates no reaction on thePaclfic coast, against the Administration- and Republican policy in na tional affairs.! : -( . '. This should encourage the managers of the campaign In all the districts 'of the. November states. ' - The Issue of Btay or Scuttle was clearly defined In the -Oregon contest. Oregon emphat ically answers Stay, and contributes the first elected rhembrs of the Repub lican majority In the . Fifty-eighth House. New' York Sun. . . ?The above from our New York coh temporary is all right, excepting where It refers to Mrl Tongue as being "one of the most silent members of - the House. It is liable to convey a wrong. Impression. Mr. Tongue may be "one of the most silent members ot ; the House,"- in that he holds his tongue when; there Is nothing of. importanct to say. ' But he is also one of the really eloquent ; speakers of 'that ' branch .of Congress, one ot the few men in -the House who commands the attention of all, including the galleries, when he has anything to say. - -..', YESTERDAY'S TRAGEDY. There Is to particular moral -to be drawn from the tragedy at the Penj tentlary j esterday, excepting that the institntlon should provide the guards wKh better guns, ana that it should be better guarded at night, -, Perbapsi excursionists ' in crowds ought not to be taken through the In stitution. ! But the tragedy of yester day was not In any way due to the visit of the excursionists on Sunday; There Is no question but the. "two rifles were smuggled into the Instltu-J tlon by a convict or convicts who have ' but recently been discharged from, the j the hands of the voters In June. 189S.

' The sympathy of 1 the vwhole public should be extended to the families and relatives of the murdered guards. NOT .YET READY. Senor Bulncamlno. former secretary of state under' Agulnaldo and a witness before the' Philippine Committee. . of Congress, was asked the other day if the Filipino people were capable . at this time of independent self-govern ment, "and his reply' is reported as fol lows: " "It would not be advisable," he said turning to the map of the archipelago, Russia was near at hand, at Port Ar thur; Japan was also hear, Australia and other British - possessions . were nearby. Besides, he. said. Great,- Brit ain and Germany had on file . at the American state department : large claims for damages, growing out of the bombardment of Hollo, etc ; "Suppose the United States abandons us," he said, "then all those claims will be presented against, the Philippines, backed up by squadrons. ; Bulncamlno contends that annexation Is the solution satisfactory to the' peo pic -- .;- - . ,.

Had East ern Oregon been as loyal to her can didate as Western Oregon j- was fie would have been elected. While West ern -Oregon cannot point with pride to her vote for Furnish, yet it-was much better than that given; In Eastern Ore goru Umatirja,.Baker and Union will probably give the rest of . the state ticket a majority, but these three coun ties gave Chamberlain more than 1500 majority over' Furnish. When the comparatively small. Vote IS consider ed. the majority, indicaftes. a revolt in the Republican ranks.' in those coun ties against 'Mr. - Furnish. : Some month sago We were almost led to be lieve from the talk of , certain, j: ones that ESaMern OreRon would try t have the state divided if the demand for the Governorship was not accorded to that section. Eastern Oregon has spoken and denies that she Is Interested in that office. Ex-President Grover Cleveland has accepted an invitation to speak at the opening of the new Tllden Club on June 19th. About fifteen hundred .- v fifteen men party prominent in' the Democratic have been invited. Among those ex pected to attend are David B. II Ul. Wil liam J. Bryan and Richard Olney. This is the first- time that Mr. Cleve land has consented to address a politi cal audience since his-retirement from office. t This coupled with the fact that so, -many : j distinguished Democrats. Whose views on silver and other ques tions have been radically . opposed to ach other, are to be present, is point ed - to as evidence that the occasion of the openihg of the -club means a direct effort to harmonize various discordant elements of the'party. ; C. P. Strain formerly a school teacher in the north end of thia county,, waa elected assessor of Umatilla coun ty at the recent election. He was a candidate before the Republican coun ty convention for assessor in 1896, but failed to carry away the honor and was soon after out of the party on account of Its attitude- on the money question. Two years later he was on th Fiulon ticket for: recorder, but met defeat at ttr.4 e V . Twn in the ranks of the Republican party of Umatilla county. The Creator usually make no mis takes, but He has evidently rred in the creation of SenatorX Hoar. The Senator says he was so constructed by bis Creator that he is compelled to take his present position on the Philippine question. Of course. If Hoar, is In a wrong position his Creator is at fault. and the. responsibility' rests upon God! and-not on 'the. Senator. , The habit of blaming .the ' Lord for untenable posi tions has placed "heavy burdens upon the Creator, and if th antls foolish ness is charged up to Him lie wUl soon be in disrepute in this country. ' . The prison authorities have done the highly proper thing in offering a re ward of $500 for the arrest of the man or metf 'who secreted the rifles in the shops at the Penitentiary, making the murders and escapes yesterday morn in possible. The sneak of- sneaks who took the rifles over the wall and into the shops are equally gulKy with the- escaped .prisoners and " murderers.

It Is reported that Senator Mitchell bribed jthe Senate to take up his bill for an assay office at Portland with a sixty-pound salmon; 'which they had at dinner. The bill carried J25.000. A Columbia river salmon cooked as It ought to be should have brought at least $250,000.
