TIIK FACTS TUAT GAM, TIIKY CAN
NOT OKT OVKK.
This Jouhnal called attention to
the general advance, in prices of ag
ricultural products before Harrison's
administration Is half over, and
called for any Blniilar evidences of
industrial prosperity under demo
cratic rule. Tho democratic papers
of this valley feel hard hit. They
always mako tho prosperity argu
ment against the republican party
and charged it up with all strikes,
hard times, failures of crops, and
even have gouo to the extreme politi
cal superstition of pointing out the
greater prevalence of cyclones and
earthquakes under n protective tariff.
When the facts of a prosperity re
stored and falling prices checked
under republican rules, and the oper
ations of tho much decried McKhiloy
bill are turned against them, they
squeal lustily,
Tho Albany Democrat Is reminded
that wo did not go into details about
duties. The duties on agricultural
products wero all advanced as wo
have shown in accordance with
demands of tho agricultural organi
zations themselves. Tho "commer
cial fact" remains that farm products
have gone up some under republican
rnle, while under Cleveland's
administration they went to pot.
This is all we claim. Is It not I rue ?
To call our assertions "cheek and
gall" is not argument nor answer.
To refer to "blouks-of-flvo," tho
"billion dollar congress," is not
germauo to tho subject as lawyors
would say, for wo aro arguing to tho
facts, not to tho hustings.
The most wonted up and ridicu
lous of all organs is tho democratic
edition of tho republican freo trade
Oregonian. It suits Harvey Scott
to get out his ovenlng edition ns
cheaply as possible and ho is evi
dently having it done with ono of
his republican Oregonian force,
whoso only knowledgo.of democracy
couslsta in tho volume of poor
whisky ho consumes. Tho people
will buy this cheap gull, thinking
they are getting a democratic paper.
But it is as far from the spirit of
pure democracy as heaven is from
hades.
Calling this JouknaIj n "hybrid
hypocritical organ" does not alter
tho fact that farmers aro getting
nearly a dollar a bushel for wheat.
To say that "the republican party
robs, iusuits and outrages the
American people" docauot explain
why oats-Is selling for 2cts. a pound
under Harrison whero they went
begging at a cent a pound under
Cleveland, Farmers aro not avcrso
to being Insulted by a policy under
which tho products of their labor
bring double what they did four
years before. '
The dishwater editor of tho Ore
gonian says of tho McKlniey bill
thatit Is "unneces8ary,uiiwarranted,
infamous, clearly nnd openly devised
by and framed for the plutocrats
and plunderers." In tho next sen.
tenco It eaya that by means of their
reciprocity policy tho republican
"at oucc proceeded to build a bridgo
of more radical 'free trade' material
than tho democrats had dared to uso
In their own platforms." When it
is recalled that tho reciprocity polloy
is a part of tho McKlniey bill, -the
Inaptitude of such criticism is appar
ent. That bill cannot bo both bad
republican polloy and good demo
cratic theory. Hut it is not theory
that galls. It is tho facts.
dozen mon who have lived in this
county all their lives and aro at least
as well known as their critic, it is
nonsense, to say tho least. Hero la
a wimple of this stylo of pelitics:
John Knight, of Salem, Is another
of tho tools of tho rlug. There Is
nothing in his eyes so uoblo as party
loyalty. If you were to kick John
ho would light, hut ho would lull
nltely prefer you would kick htm
than say ought against his party.
To bo a republican, to voto his ticket
straight, tbeso are his crltcrions of
righteousness. Woc'buru Indepen
dent. Now, what does this amount to?
What does this boy know of another
man's "criterion of righteousness?"
Mr. Knight as chairman of the
republican couuty commission con
ducted a clean campaign and In an
oil year rolled up a big republican
majority. He hud the confidence of
tho people and tho hearty co-operation
of republican workers all over
tho county. Tho only man on the
ticket he could not pull through was
a respectable townsman of this inde
pendent editor. But all this stylo
of political controversy Is not worth
tho Ink. It gives a cheap notoriety
to ono notoriety-seeker. That Is all.
BUOOESTICI) COMMENT.
Under tho MoKlnloy bill no

What rubbish In that expression of
a poet, defining woman as "God's
best gift to poorsluful raau." What
about tho gift the other way? If she
is a gift, and tho above is true, man
a poor sinful thing was not a very
choico gift to womau. But this la
nursery trash.
The Barnaby poisoning trial in
Denver promises to bo ono of tho
cslebrated cases of tho year. Tho
Boston doctor who received a legaoy
off30,000is accused of tho murder
of Mrs. Barnaby, and If tho detect
ives can prove all that they claim
they can tho doctor will havo great
dtfllculty in escaping conviction.
Lebanon Express: Tho leading re
publican papers aro sauguiuo of vic
tory in the coming plesldentlal cam
paign; the democrats aro equally

never conceded a victory to either of

dustrial organizations coalesce, and
they doubtless will, It would not
require tho gift of prophecy to fore
'. toll the result.
Tho horso that was struck au d

If tho Oregonian reprinted tho
editorial from tho Qorvals Star for
any other purpose than to counter
act its ovll effect, aa a alur upon or

THIS 1'UKVIOUS YOUNG .MAN.
Tho young man who runs an
alleged Independent paper In this
county bo loves to light republican
candidates that ho can't wait until
tlioy are hatched. Ho must go
after them In tho shell, He would
even "bust" the Incubator if ho
could, and havo no more u-comlng
out. His lust paper contains an
attack on men who are assumed to
be tho coming candidates In June
1802, on tho republican ticket In
this county,
Tills paper will never become tho
organ or upologlat for ofllce Beckers
or ofllco holders. It believes In
holding all such up to the highest
code of publlo and political responsi
bility, at all times leaving the people
free to secure the best choice among
all candidates and ulsu tho best
results obtulnuble from tho com
petitive frlutlona between political
parties.
We recogulzo the right, however,
of any citizen to become a candidate
for ofllulal honora. The republican
party h not a close corporation, nor
have we yet readied the "uloaed
season" In Marlon couuty when any
previous youth may get up and by
merely pointing hla finger at a citi
zen rule blui out of existence ua u
political possibility. Buch conduct
might be batlofjctory lu Jtusala, but
Tho Reform Journal Insists that
tho proposition in tax church prop
erty is n rising question. It la most
ly u war on tho present system of
exempting property of churches
actually used for churches and
schools from taxes. Probably a
majority of church organizations
pay more taxes than tho Reform
Journal does. However, n third
party farmers' movement with that
proportion in Its program would
poll a light voto In Oregon where
churches and uchoob are not rich.
Minnesota la ahead of tho other
stales in at least ono respect. It has
n law, or rather decision of the su
premo court, which compels sleeping
car companies to glvo the occupant
of a lower berth the advantage of the
freo air of tho wholo section. Tho
upper berth may not bo lowered
n u leas It has been paid for and la oc
cupied. Aa long aa It is not in use
it must remain up and tho sleeper
below hits tho benefit of tho air In
tho whole suction. This decision la
strictly followed by all tho Bleeping
car companies that do business In
that state. Ex.

TIIK SWITCHMAN.
Chicago, May 15. At 7 o'clock
yesterday morning every switch
man In tho employ of tho Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad company,
200 In this city and 800 employed at
points along tho line, wero discharg
ed and paid off. Tho company
choso this hour as the most con
venient to notify both the day nnd
night forco that their services would
no longer bo required. General
Mauager Whitman, of tho road, re
ports that so fur there has been no
trouble or disturbance occasioned by
the lockout. The road has been pre
paring for action during tho past
two months, and for every mau dis
charged this morning there was
another ready to toko his place.
Ynrdmoster Frank Molnerny, whose
discharge tho switchmen demanded
and enforced by a tie-up during
Goueral Whitman's lllnessslx weeks
ago, was reinstated this morning,
and took charge of tho now men.
The company says Molnerny was
never really discharged. His nam?
has never been taken ofl'tho pay rolls
of the company, but his position has
remained vacant as lie had remained
away from his work pending tho
trouble started on his account. Mr.
Whitman said that tho company
would uo longer put up with tho
Btato of things that has existed dur
ing the past three years, and tho
action Is a practical demonstration
of tho company's wish to run Ita
own business. On account of tho
men bolng ulwnya ready to strike
on tho slightest provocation, tho
train service has been unsatisfactory
to the public and to the company
itself, ami now ho proposed to put a
stop to It. A few weeks ago, after
tho troublo caused by Yardinaator
Molnerny, a canvass was mado of
tho 1071 locomotive engineers lu tho
employ of tho Northwestern by re
presentatives of tho company.
Every ono promised to stand by the
company if a strike or lockout
should bo Inaugurated. They sym
pathized with Molnerny.
A largo forco of policemen are pe
troling tho yards of tbo company in
this city, but so far their services
have not keen required. Officials
of tho company say that It Is not a
fight against tho Switchmen's
Union. Their mon In many other
yards havo frequently quit work
without a moment's warning, and
without tho sanction of the union,
Tho company will probably employ
men without discrimination, but
will not bo dictated to any longer.
In tho afternoon tho discharged
men hero hold a secret meeting to
scttlo upon a course of action. It Is
knowu that some of them favor
asking tho company to reinstate
them. Others counsel holding out
and resort to violence If necessary.
micro la a rumor that the order will
ho called on to declare n gonoral
strike on tho St. Paul, Rook Island
and Burlington roads, whoso mana
gers aro aupposed to be In sympathy
with tho ucllon of tho Northwestern.
Tho company Is supported In Us
position by the conductors, firemen
nud brakemen's unions. Tho
switchmen's union id not Included
