OIVIETHING NEW!
AT THE-
Pioneer Grocery Store.
(Established In 1857.)
Having done a large credit business, for the last 84 years, and, as
times have changed, making it necessary to sell groceries at a very low
margin, I propose to adopt a new plan, commencing on January 1, 1802,
and sell for
3KT
AT BEDROCK PRICES.
NO MORK CREDIT,
A general slaughter on crockery, imported china ware, glassware,
lamps, etc. As I have an Immense stock of this lino to arrive in March
nud April, I nm compelled to make room by closing out the present stock.
Now Is the time for the ladles to replenish their houses in this Hue, while
they can get bargains.
All knowing themselves iudebted to me are requested to call nnd set

All the newspapers iu Oregon

The Hill tidal wave is sweeping

soou be as tho' ho were not and
never had been. Ytt Cleveland is
a statesman compared to HID.
Whether it is dtslrablo or not tho
eo inomy of the present congress is
quite likely to cut Oregon oil short
on appropriations for pnblic Im
provements. It is quite probablo
that necessary work will be kept up,
but no now works need be expected

Alfred Holman, formerly of tho
Boattle Pofrt-Intelllgencor and Ore
gonian, has become managing edi
tor of the Fuel lie Rural Press. His
training on organs of the plutocrats
and special class agitators has not
filled him In tho most admirable
manner to do battle on tho leading
farmers' paper on the coast, tho' he
Is an able man.
St. Louis Republic: Tho national
debt will be paid iu a few years im
lebs lu the meantime wo have a war
to perpetuate It. Tho Civil AVar
taxes caunot be maintained without
another war to maintain them. The
Plutocracy sees this clearly, and iu
its blind love of unearned money It
is moving Its puppets at Washing
ton to find a quarrel as a pretoxt for
keeping up war taxes and for per
petuating a national debt which will
give Plutocrats "a safe investment1'
for their unearned money; an invest
ment which will bring them usury
wrung from tho sweat of labor by
taxation nnd at tho same time
exempt their capital from tho laws of
trade and tho chaucos, under which
it would otherwise be redistributed.
FUOK l'OLIOY,
It is to be regretted that the Re
form Journal of Portland has gone
out4f I to way to refer to tho grange
of this state as "a dead cock in tho
pit," that It has "gone to seed and
ought to be gathered to Its fathers,"
aud has at ditleretil times used its
columns to denounce members of
tho grange, says a resolution of
Charity grange, Llnu county.
Tho people of this stato of all
parties who favor reform move
ments will not approve of an attack
by any paper thut tends to weaken
tho conservative forces lu this state.
The reform elements If wisely di
rected can he a great source of good
in our state. If mismanaged aud
scattered, they can bo made a posi
tive force for evil. Reform papers of
all others should be slow to ttrlko In
the above way.
Vt III5HK TO VOTK.
There has not been published uu
accurate statement of the new vot
ing precinct, nor of the boundaries.
The county has all been cut up Into
now voting precincts under the Aus
tralian ballot Juw aud uulesa these
new boundaries are carefully defined
and fully published in every news
paper iu the county there Is liable to
be great confusion and low of right
to vote. The county authorities
whose business It Is to look after
this will be held reepounlble by the
people uuless this matter is properly
and thoroughly ultmded to,

PUMi ACCOUNT OP THE ATTACK QJ
THE BAITIMOBE MEN.
Washington, Jan. 25. The press-!
ident In his message says: "But,
tho most serious accident dleola
by tho correspondence is that
tho attack of the sailors of the Baw
tlmoro In the port of Valparaiso oa
October 10th. In my annual me
Bago, speaking upon information
thon in my possesion, I said as fag
aa I had been able to learn no otheq
explanation of this bloody work
had been suggested than that it had
Its origin in hostility to tboae mea
as sailors of the United Stat
wearing tho uniforms of their gov-j
eminent, aud not in any individual
act or personal animosity. Wq
hava now received from the Chilian
government the abstract of the cou-
elusions of the fiscal general upon!
tho testimony taken by tho Judge vt
different crimes in an investigation
made to extend over nearly tbftt
months. I very much regret to 1
compelled to say that this repc-r
does not euable me to modify thu
conclusion announced in my anntma
message. I am BtiU of the opinion
our sailors were assaulted, &
and stabbed and killed, not for any4
thing they or any ono of them had
done, but for what tho government
of tho "United States had done, oq
was charged with havlug done, 1
Its olyll oftlcers or naval command!
era. If that bo true the aspect
mo causo or Injury Avas tcrtUft.knvJ
eminent of tho United Stated, nod
these poor sailors, who were
saulted in a manner so brutal and
cowardly.
Beforo attempting to give an out-!
line of facts upon which this cmi
elusion rests, I think It right to mj
a word or two upon the legal aspeel
of the case. The Baltimore was lit
the harborof Valparaiso by virtuq
of geueral invitations which nation!
are hold to extend to war vessels
other powers with which they havq
friendly relations. This invitation
I think must be held ordinarily
embrace the privllego of such cot
munlcntlon with shore aa is reason!
ably necessary and proper for th
comfort and convenience of ornq
and men of such vessels. Captale
Schley testifies that when his ve
returned to Valparaiso Beptemt
14, tho city officers, as le custoruarj
extended the' hospitalities of thi
city to liiu officers and crew. It
not claimed that every rwwo
collision or injury In whlou tb
Bailors or ofllcers of such naval ves
sol visiting shore may be Involve
raises an International question, but
I am clearly of tbe opluion u
whero such sailors or oftlcers are
saulted by the resident popula
animated by hostility to the govern-!
mout whoso uniform these Ballon
aud officers wear, and in the reeent-l
inent of acts done by their govern
ment, and not by them, their nation
must take notice of tho ovents aum
involving an lufrlction of its right
and dignity. Not In a second
way, as where a cltlzon is Injur
aud presouts his claim through hk
own government, but In a prima
way, precisely as If Its iniuUter
tho cousular Hag itself had been i
object of the aarao character of
assault. Tbe ofllcers and sailors
tho Baltimore were In the harbor j
Valparaiso under the orders of thul
government, and not by their ow
choice. They were upon abora b
the Implied Invitation of the pm
ernmeut of Chili, with the j)
proyal of their commanding ofltoar
and this doea uot distinguish tbii
case from that of the couaul or tt
his stay Is inoro permanent or il
ho holds an express iuyltatlon of H
local government to Juatlfy hifl
lougor residence. Nor doea it ehsoftl
tho question that the injury waa '
act of tho mob. If there had
no participation of the police
military In UU cruel work and
neglect ou tbt'lr part to extend pro
tectlou thw cam would Mill be oi
in my oplaloii, whs M extent i
