Harvey Scott Is Roasted.
He Don't Like the California People
Very Well.
They Are Not Docile and-Truccul-ent
Enough to Suit Him.
The Monday's, (Nov. 10,) San Fran
cisco; Examiner, which reached hero
Wednesday night, created a sensa
tion by having a pago devoted to a
recent Oregonian editorial, aspersing
the moral character of the people, of
California. It starts as follows:
IS CALIFORNIA THE TENEKLOIN OF
AMERICA?
That is the question that confronts
us. The Portland "Oregonian," of
Thursday last, said that it was, and,
in a remarkable editorial, condemned
the women, of this.statc, as Impure,
the men as dishonorable and the en
tire social and moral fabric, as rotten
to the core, This tirade of villifica
tlon was called forth by the sympathy
shown by many prominent men, of
this city, for Walter M. Castle and
his wife during their recent arrest
and (Mention in Londun. The "Ore;
goulan" professes to see in that ex
pression of sympathy a proof that tho
moral standard of California Is differ
ent from that of any other civilized
community under the sun. Then it
says:
"There is no mystery about the
low moral tone of society In Califor
nia; about the cheap estimate placed
upon female virtue and male honor,
about the toleration of stealing and
the condonation of treachery to the
common, commercial, political or so
cial codes that prevail elsewhere."
EXAMINER HEADINGS
to a whole page of protests are as fol
low s:
California Morals Bitterly Assailed.
The Portland "Oregonian" Says
Editorially that This State Is the
"Tonderlion of America."
It Is Charged that the Virtue of Our
Women Is Lightly Held and
., Manly Honor Scoffed At.
These Asseitions Aiouse a Storm of
Indignation and Denial From
Ministers and Business Men
of This City.
IS A SLANDER MOST MALIGNANT
That article is a slander most
malignant. I regard tho moral tone
in this city as quite up to the stand
ard of that In the older communities
of the East and Europe.

A COWARDLY ATTACK ON WOMEN.
The manner in which the "Oregon
ian" refers to the women of Callfor.
nla Is particularly low and detestable.
Tne women of this state need no de
fense from me nor from any other
man. Tuey are as pure aim uunuiuuit!
as any that ever breathed. Their
good deeds are without number, and
their charity so great that it is known
t,lirnni?hout the world. I cannot ex
press tho contempt I feel for the man
or the paper that would attack their
good name In so cowardly a manner.
M. A. Gunst,
Police Commissioner.
"JOURNAL" COMMENT.
Harvey Scott don't like the free and
American style of the Examiner, He
prefers throne-huntors like Dc Young,
sugar trust kings like Sprcckles, con
gress corrupters like Huntington,
men who eat their words and swallow
their silver records like Estee a man
like Hearst, who hews to the line and
strikes telling blows at corporation
frauds is offensive to Scott.
California fl UTPat state of free
people, progressive and- prosperous,
capable of lighting a corporation like
the Southern Pacific, capable or look
ing after their own Interests, not
cringing to any one set of men or any
aggregation of capital. Tho only
theory on which such urf attack as
Scott's can be understood, is that the
n is mentally unbalanced, and
The Examiner attracts tho attcn
tlon of the wholo natlonto thjs one
scurrlllous editorial, whlcliQiregon
people had not noticed, they bavo
them thrown lu their faces so often.
This will bo recalled by tho fling at
Mrs. Wm, J. Bryan, "as tho country
bred wife of a country bumpkin from
the plains of Nebraska," and the
terming of nil supporters, of Bryan In
Oregon as anarchists, bbclallsts, advo
cates of arson, etc.
THE EXAMINER EDITORIAL
roasts Harvey Scott, In tho following
style:
The Portlnnd "Oregonian," whose
gall not even the election of McKlnlcy
can sweeten, relieves Its disposition
by a broadside at California In which
the State Is described as "tho Tender
loin of America." , lb appears that
California when observed through the
Oregon mists, is transformed Into u
land peopled by monsters and dwarfs
and the othpr animals that inhabited
Africa before the days of Livingstone
and Stanley. California, according
to the observations taken from Port
land on the night of tl)c 11th Instant,
is occupied by a race of human beings
removed ono generation from the con
dition of savages. The men are of
good physique, but thieves, murder
ers, gamblers and liars, The women
arc good-looking, hut the less sAld
about the rest of their qualities the
better. They llvo by cheating and
robbing each other, but rally to the
defense of one of tho tribe when at
tacked by an outsider.
FABIO ROMANI-
At Reed's Opera House Tomorrow
Night.
What the Spokane Press says of It:
"Tne Vendetta," Marie Corelll's
gruesome plagiarism of "Monte
Crlsto,'1 has been abiyand skillfully
dramatized as "Fadlo BomanI" by
Charles Chase. There was a fair and
appreciative audience, buj the per
formance ws worthy of a much larger
house. All of the scenery belongs to
the company, and the earthquake
scene was vejy striking.
Fabio Roman I was played by Mr.
Benedict, who received his share of
applause. Miss Qllvo West as Nina,
tho false wife, gave a capital bit of
strong emotional acting, and J. J.
Morris was particularly good as the
old ragpicker. Miss Grace Hunter
made u decided hit with her clever
beautiful dances.

the purpose of rescuing several head

considerable anxiety was aroused
among his relatives, last evening, as
to his whereabouts but word was
brought to this city this morning that
he had safely reached tho Island and

Necessary Repairs. When the
high water has subsided sufficiently
to permit, some' repairs will have to
be made to the big steel bridge on the
Polk county hide. When the river
was at its highest t-he lower portion
of the Polk county bridgo -was afloat,
under which considerable gravel
drifted, and when the water subsided,
Jt rested thereon, with Its western
terminus, fully two and one-half feet
from Its original position. It will be
necessary to raise the approach, .rc
move the gravel and restore that part
of the bridge to Its accustomed posi
tion s") as to permit of satisfactory
travel.

that Is the opinion of many bid Ore
ironfiTns, who have known Scott since
feo worked on a farm In Washington

puny obtained a supylcmcntal order

THE WHEAT MARKET.
Shows a Falling of! of Two Cents in
Chicago Today,
SaLEM, Or., Nov. 10. Tho news to
day was uniformly bearish, and In
cluded lower; cables. Closing prices
jshow a net loss of about 2 cents from
yesterday, and may be chiefly attri
buted to realizing by local traders.
Thedccllno was helped by the state
ment by Beorbohm, that European
stocks aro Increasing rapidly. Intho
meantime, tho demand for cash wheat
Is Increasing, and tho flour output ior
the week of over 500,000 pounds, lndl
cato an urgent demand. Another
encouraging feature in tho falling off
in receipts at primary points, and
Increasing clearances from tho sea
board. Considering general condi
tions, we can ouly regard the reaction
today as of temporary character, and
due altogether to speculation fullu-enccs.

Futures Are Looking Up and Good
Prices .Expected. '
CmcAao, Nov. 18. Wheat started
again in an auspicious manner yester
day. It opened apparently very weak
at lc lower than tho closing price, and
that principally because of 2ho decline
ofidat Liverpool. Tho crowd here
was quite prepared to follow any big
bear leader, but nono materialized.
Opening prices for December ranged
from 76 to 70 cents but inside of aa
hour 77l77l was quoted. After the
offerlngs,brought out by the first cable
wore out of tho way, tho demoralized
feollng soon dlsaitpearcd. The second
Liverpool caW was decidedly better,
and rcport9,",that farmers' deliveries
were falling off wero confirmed by
Northwest receipts. Under the In
fluence of such news tho sentiment
soon got bullish the shorts took fright
and covered freely, while the friends
of wheat who have been held In cheek
for somo days by tho downward ten
dency, had their courage renewed,
and were good buyers. Tho most Im
portant news, however, ancUlho real
sustaining Influence of tho market,
came from the sea board. Australian

ported at thrco cargoes up to tho

also a purchaser of 500,000 bushels
