Judge Parker waa evidently afraid that 'some of bia gold Democratic frienda wofrtd not Wlieve that he meant it when he aaid he waa in favor of the gold standard, lie took apecial pain" to r iterate the atatement in hia letter of acceptance and the attention of hi, ailver backer ia. expecially called to tbia.

IMAOIHAEY GRIEVANCES. we are onite wuiine to admit that as f urniabing an Intereating atndr f that abnormal eondition of mind where pa iiuajoaiiiiu ' irwiaffi til wni ox grievances at will, the editorial page of the Portland Journal from day to day, furnishes the amplest material. - That paper "baa it in" for that class of people, whom jt is pleased to call "stand j patters." ' By this ia meant thoee who are of tbe opinion that times are better, much better, than they wer before tbe Dingley law waa paased. The fact is, there ia'a well-grounded opin ion, more or lean extensively held, that during the entire existence of the Ding ley law,5 some i seven year now, all jkinds of busineaa are thriving better than before ita adoption. And there are those, who, believing there en a be no mistake about , tbia, have rejoiced over tbe Improved eon- dition of the country. They are called " stand patters." There; seem to be millions of peopleq who remember that all kinds of bus iness during tbe four years when. the Democratic tariff-for-revenne-law waa in force were distressingly erippled fore nnd aft, and that they stood pat in that condition until the life given to biiNineas under tbe Dingley law got things to moving again. There has been a change. Tbat change has been for the better in every line of busine tbat can be mentioned. We challenge the Jonrnal to mention a single legitimate business in the United Htates that' -is not on a better basis, away and !eyond, than at amy 4 ime un der the tariff law preceding the pres ent 'robbertariff," the Dingley law. The latent wail of the Journal is con tained in its iasue of the 22d inst., and after reading ita (dissertation on tbe "plutocratic beneficiaries of the rob ber tariff," the reader will find on its flrt page with garjng headlines and in letters of living red, the announce ment thnt new buildings in Portland for 1!4 are worth nearly three mil lions of dollars - And in the long list of builders which fidlowa not the name of a single "plu tocratic robber" can be found! And if the Journal will sen re h its flic for the years toy,7 it will be unxblo to find, all told, such an array of 1 evidencH giving proof of phenomenal projerity. ('ome to think of it, how ever, it hnd no filea during tiue years. Its birth at that time would have toen no !iiiHssibility. Nothing but 'ie Im pel na given tiusiness iu every direction by the Dingley law could have, made it pmtsihle for the Journal to "butt in" to the journalistic field in Portland and bold ita head above water. Under con ditions prevailing before the adoption of the Dingley law the Journal might have possibly begun its career, but it could not have stood pat for ten issues.) The evidences of business thrift that shine forth in every issue of the Port land Journal furnish a direct contra diction of every sentence it prints on its editorial page against the Dingley law ami the condition of the country under its ocratioti. Ho, when that paper inquires "Is par tisan I editorializing and speech making conducive to moral strabismus, or is the blindness only mental!" we are con strained, taking its own case as a fair sample, to answer loth queries in the affirmative. ' ' ABSOLUTISM. ' When the Hroitlyn Kagle asserts that " Koiisevelt 11 nd Olell have, raised abso lutism to an isue of the first importance in this state," it delivers itself of an opinion altogether unworthy a paper of its acknowledged standing in the United Htate. And this uggeta the reflection that one of the inoat aotounding things in American politic is the tenacity with which the Democratic party, anJ especially during Ihe pat forty ears, anme to actually believe that the Re publicans are lent on a career of de struction of indivilual. rights in this country. It make no difference who the Re publican candidate is. The ghost an" each' f.mr vear with the moat notice able. regularity, and it is not that it amount to anything, but that men o( sense will eriodieaII fall victims to the assumption and really : apear for the length of a campaign, to believe it. .Not an individual Hf the entire length and brea 1th of the land cni be found wh.k has lost a ainele urivitege that he evef potuiessed lawfully, or that bis fa t'uer ivc fore hi 111 was en joying. Hut this make no difference. He i pentttaded that something I about to : happen to him through the .'wicked design of the blasted Re publicans, an 1 though he goes and comes with the same freedom that has alwavs Wen, bis and bin .father' and all his ancestor, (yet, someway, he , I per- suadeil that through the menace of Militarism &r Imperialism or Absolu tism, he i liable to W swoopoil down upon at any time by some man who W-' lieyes in a protective tariff or tbe gold( sian.iani, an i jnaeeij m a horrid dun geon where for the rest of his days he eaa lnt Mrn for hta wl. mtA tSI and fondly indulge his recollection ofjut it th day that are pas.d an.l gjne for ever! ' - :. To W sure, it. never ha happened. Hut it certainly will if the Republic are permittel to ever garn another vietory. Of course, when thi awful condition comes to pa, the Republi-itiy., .can will W punished the same a otb-J er people, and one feature of th enfg ma ia whv ther will peraist in bringing . 11 kt. j!-f thmaelre.

DOINGS IN MINNEAPOLIS. ; Recent developments iu the Minne apolis courts indicate ;th probability that ex -Mayor A fA. Am, who has been nn ler indictment for a year or more for grafting while in office in a manner that . would . shame tbe worst sinner ia the, Ht. Louis municipal gov ernntenttd to be discharged. HVveral df his pal in his infamous eayer in the elt7,whch hal fcoaignall bonorcd him are in the penitentiary and otters are in Siding, but tbe arch-conspirator of them all is likely t,t be set free. y ! 0 Kb favorable are the; indications of his discharge that; he has alreaty an nounce 1, ao it is maid, that be will be- com a cannuiate iot uongrcsw. ysi course, it is not probable that such a scoun lrel could be elcctel, but the in- scru tabl ways of the courts of that city and connty are calculated to di minish one's faith in the goo. I a.'nse of the people at large. '; The district attorney himself has moved for tbe dismissal of ten " of the indictments against Ames for tbe rea son that:"a further proseeution would give n feverish and offensive advertise ment to our fity.',' In order td arsld such' an undesirable result, the attorney who was elected for the purpose of sending such birds as Ames to state's prison, projoea - to sustain the goo. I name of the city': by freeing this ac knowledged criminal nitl turning him loot in the community which he has disgraced and plundered beyond the record of any other similar officer in the West. Jt is tbia tallying with the low, re fusing to diligently prosecute and. pun ish criminals, especially among the higher class-, anil giving them trial after trial after there can be no doubt of actual guilt, that engender that Ispirit of lawlessness, firs, in small things and then in t hone of more - im portance that is breeding trouble" In many; directions. A great. resHnsibilty rests upiii the courts of Ahc country in the matter of meting out justice to criminals rather than yielding to the deman Is of law yers for re-bearing and appeals upon the most trivial grounJs, that, unfortu nately man of them seem not to fully realize. Hiveral of the convicted Missouri bood lers are at large," the courts having in one way and another, allowed them to escape through ingeniously constructed loopholes. The whole tendency is in the wrong direction and calls loudly for . a change. -- THE STEEL BAIL OUTBAOE. Completely surrendered to the fixed leter ml nation to have trouKle some where and the opporlunitte for a growl that will War examination being few and far Wtween, our Democratic. contemporaries frequently tesort to the threadbare eomptainf that Ameri can steel rails actually sell cheaper in Kngland thnn they 'Jo in the ITnlted Htates. A man who, if he should rival Me thuselah in the lengtu of his daa, would never nave .wcaion to Invest ia a steel rail, will work himself up to a point 'of uncontrollable frenzy Weanse he ha heard that the prie of steel rail in England is lower than here, fi-ongh manufacture 1 in the United Htates. ' It tnatfer not thnt passenger and freight rates are cheaper to him than ever before an 1 that the tendency I in that direction right alongRe is going to take np the matter of the price of steel rail and make 1W exporter of the Dingley law explain some things to a snbjecfed and outraged people! At tbi time wheat i Wing shipped by rail from Oregon an 1 TTasulngfon to varioti point lu the Mississippi valley and pa,engcr rate, were never so low as now.

PABKEE'8 LETTER Or ACCEP TANCE. , Alton B. Parker' lette of accep tanee - of the Democratic nomination for the Presidency will not prove to be' one -of. those great literary efforts that make men famous, and that are reeited and repeated by the growing youth of the land through the ages to come. In fact, it Will be. rememlered a simply-a very poor expose of a very weak position in the field of American politics. It is neither interesting, nor convincing, except in one particular, in wbiehit will convince everyone tbat he represent no great principle except such as has Wen worn out and trodden tinder foot na valneleaa nnd unworthv. Hi attempt to foist doctrine that have had their day, and have proven unsatisfactory, upon the people, will not go. It will not W accepted by tbe Democrats; It will have no Waring on Republicans. He take up the question of "Imper ialism" a if there were any serious ness to the. idea that this government were in danger of anything of the kind. Mr. Parker aad everyone else who talks about Imperialism an indicating any reasonable expectation tbat either Roos evelt or any atber man in the United Htates believe that the time is coming or liable to come, when the republic would even W in danger, simply talks silly twaddle, that no self-respecting, intelligent mm will pay any attention to at all. The talk i the veriest rot. and Parker and everyone el-? tbat talks it is satisfied that it ia. Then why talk itt A demagogue can W nothing but a demagogue. His talk of the centralization of tbe national government ia fully in keeping with the talk of hi party for forty-five and fifty year ago tbat' would have had no central government, but a gov ernment of "every fellow for himself and the devil take the hindermost." Hi demand for reciprocity call up the 'natural question if the Democrats were so anxioo for reciprocity why did tbey not vote with such Republi cans in Congress a waited reciprocity a few years ago when those reciprocity treaties were pending He states again the old Democratic, doctrine of a "Tariff for Revenue Only" a opposed to the Republican doctrine of protection. Yet he admit that it would not W wise to return to tbe Democratic doctrine suddenly, but that the present system would have to W continued, if we would avoid danger to the financial interest of the country. He talks again of independence for the , Philippine and then says that it could not W granted them now. Hi platitude "a free people cannot with hold freedom from another people and themselves remain free" sounds pretty if there Were any reason for it Wing aid. The idea that the United States i making slaves of the) Philippine and the people there is unworthy even a Parker. He talk for peace in one chapter of hi letter and then want a paasport of the United 8tate made good every where for any citizen; Thi is also good in the main, but to enforce it would mesa a re-arrangement of; Russia's . and ' Oermany's laws, a thing that this government has a yet found difficult to attain la a perfectly peaceful manner. . Mr. Parker i still - terribly worried aWut the manner in which we Wcame possessed of the Panama canal route, but even Mr. Parker doubted the ex- T&Spj! From IKe imP Office J$b Window T; "Boys Will Be Boys." When we stop to consider tbe in comprehensible antic of the average boy as " he-, struggles f 10m infancy j to the. age , of accountability, we can accept the Darwinia n theory 'of the., or igin of ajeciea without 'the slightest difllculty. v ' ' i ' r' . The thousand and one thiogs the growing and struggling youngster will encounter and overcome, usually with safety, ean.W accounted for only ; by the conclusion that the hand of an over ruling Provblence, invisible, per haps, but omnipresent, intercede! in his favor as he tempts fate practically every time he turns around. The average Wy, a bundle of,ex haustless nerves, ; unlimited . curiosity and biundles ambition, is the most interesting-animal That graces the earth, it Wing held that girls, bles them,; are not animals.' Put the boy and bless him, too eaeb day of hi life takes every risk that eon front a him, and if the passing environment does not fur nish a sufficient1 and varied assortment of promising bair-breadtb 'scapes,i his ready ingenuity at ohce supplies the deficiency and things assume that Jell mell attitude 'of impending destruction to property and life that places him in the realm of comparative bliss. Occasionally a Wy meet with an injury, but the thousands of fatal acci dents he invites every day that do not! materialize, form one of the most inter esting chapters of our daily live as we travel with him. We belong to a highly civilized race, but the genus boy is obliged to run the gauntlet from ns low and disenttrsging n starting jnint as were the youngsters who hunted goose eggs with Mos's in the bulrushes TAi'i years ago. Men undoubtedly reach a higher phi ne of culture," usefulness and un-otK-plishment than formerly, but the Wy, evidently, begins where his remoleest ancestors did jn the early day a of goat skin raiment and exclusively pastoral employment.

On the. contrary, he says that he believea "now that we have the of valuable space to a ileuiaud itr re strip" it is neeesnary for the United j dueeif governmental exenditures.

Mr. Parker also finds much complaint with the present "foreign relations" of the United States, saying that the United Htates should at onc give up the rote of the "continental .police - man." He savs we as a nation' should not only kk after the maintenance of the present nations against F.uropean aggression, but that we shoold let each of them work out its own oitieal ilea- tiny. The fact that the United Htates jtiieir purchasing power, has taken a aaud' for the open -door in! Taken altogether Mr. Parker' letter China, ha taken a hand in the Turkish j of acceptance ia a very weak; arid tin affair, and that it ha Wgun to be felt satisfying document -to his own party, a a power with the power give Mr. land a source of grata ie.it;.n to his I'arker a cold chill. He sees the shad ow of the smoke of battle over it all! "But while Mr. Parker has gone through all this list of woe and ha often said "woe is me," he has pro posed no remedy therefor. Hut be ha declared that he will do one thing when (f) he should arrive at the Pre idential chair. He. would immeiliately "revoke the Presidential order making the pension law apply to veteran whose advanced age i nupposed to have cre ated disability for manual laWr." This order by which many old soldier who were justly entitled to recognition rom their government receive such recogni tion, Mr. Parker would revoke immedi ately on his assuming the power as President. Mr.. Parker declare the or der wa illegal. Mr. Cleveland, whose hoe Mr. Parker i evidently onworthy to unlace, said that the order was made on a proper .construction of the law. The following telegram is sufficient evi dence thereof: Princeton, N.'J March 18. Thi wa ex-Preident flrover Cleveland's 67th birthday. When, he wa askedtonigbt for bht opinioa on the recent pension regulation he said: "I have noticed that'the commission ers have merely, construed ! the law so a to make the change.
