RELIGION AND POLITICS.
Col. (?) B. F. AJipy, editor of tlu
BdkerCity Ilcpubllr.in, I-out In an
editorial charulm,' Hon. ill ll. Kin
Union candidate Tor novciiior, will
bclni? an A. P. A- We have only !
say In reply that we are satlslied tint
our former statement Is true In evei
n-ieet. The letter of Senator Al
Heed, a Republican of standing, re
print from the OrcKonlitn, I
evidence of the character which Is
borne by this man Alley, and stamps
him as one who would lend hiniFelfao
any dirty scheme to Injure an honest
man. T. T. Gccr, the Republican can
didate, Is a member of the Sllverton
A. P. A. council and dare not deny It,
and his henchmen are simply, as In
this case of Alley, trying to injure his
competitor by unfair means. Kose
burtf Iteylcw.
The Jouiwal is perfectly satisfied
that Mr. Kln Is not a member of the
A. P. A. because he Hays he Is not.
If Mr. Ocer will say that he is nr-t
an A. P. A. we will print his state
ment and that will settle it so far as
we ure concerned and oulit to settle
It with all fair-minded men.
There Is no way to prove ordlsprove
any man's membership In a secret or
ganization, except by his own state
ment as u matter of honor.
Tub Journal has refused to print
anything rellectlnK In any manner
upon the private or personal character
of T, T. Oecr, though asked to do so.
An olllclal's public record Is some
thing the public have a right to read
about.
Now, If cither the Union party or
the Republican party has surrendered
to the A. P. A. politicians, which Is
It? Is It not a notorious fact that
the RepubllcacB turned down Gov.
Lord, I'll 11 MetEchan, Supt. Irwin and
Attorney General Idlcman because
they were not bigots on this ciueatlou
but treated all men alike, regardless
of their 'religious faith? Gov. Lord
was warned that If ho made any more
speeches at Catholic banquets or
Catholic dedications lie would be de
feated. He told the A. P. A. man
ager he would not be Inllucned by audi
considerations and they united
solidly in Marion county against
him. The Mitchell faction, the
Blnger Herman politicians, and the
weaK and hungry elements that al
ways run after anything to get votes
all united to nominate Mr. Gccr be
cause he hud not taken a st-ttid on
tills question.
There la nothing tuoro vicious or
reprehensible in public utfulrs than
the effort making to brand a man as a
member of a secret political organi
zation that seeks to make rcllgloiiH
faith a test of loyalty or citizenship,
and then give him no way to cleat
himself, not even accepting his own
usserllou.
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES.
The Semi-Weekly fleppner Gazette.

Eastern Oregon, pays the following
high pertoual tribute to lion. W. R.

The people ol Heppner will he ad

party's 'leading' men, Hon. W. R.
King, candidate for irorcrnor of Ore

publicans have one of their best men
it the head of their ticket, Hon. T.
T. Geer Tall Timothy of the Waldo
Hills" Hour party should win we
vlll have the satisfaction of knowing
c voted widely and well, but If we
-hould ()c we can have this eon
solation, that a man has been choeu
who has no oOjecllonal qualities other
than his politic.". Mr. King, like
Mr. Geer, has rarved his state In a
xplcudid manner as a f-nlon, having
ueen elected first as 11 representative
on the Pemocratic ticket, from Mal
heur couuty, and afterwards as Joint
senator on the Populist ticket, rep
resenting Baker and Malheur coun
ties. Republicans have a right to
support Mr. Geer and should be proud
to do so on the point of partisan
politics, but otherwise Mr. King is
the peer of Mr. Geer.
THE UNION TICKET.
The piop'eof an. ouLty togardlets
ofp:ut ate perfectly safe in voting
for l lit- Union legislative ticket. If
that party has control of the legisla
ture some reform bills will be passed
and economy will be enforced.
What faction or riug or senatorial
machine will control the Marion
county delegation if Republicans are
elected? Will they be Mitchellltes or
Moabitesor Corbettites, or Illttites
or Jebuslles, or McKlnley-Mltchcll-Ites?
The warring factions of Republi
canism In Oregon owe the people one
Solemn duty to go bury themselves.

Union Nominee for State Senator of Lane
County,
The name of the gentleman who

Is a familiar one to the pioneers and

nominee for Stele Senator, came to
Oregon with tho emigrautlon of 1852.

and dusty plains. His native stato
is Indiana but with much of the earlier
emigration, that dared tho hardships
of a six mouths Journey acrors a wild
and comparatively unknown c.ouurry,
ho hailed from Mlsiourl.
Mr. Huston settled on the claim,
where ho now resides, twelve miles,
west of Kugcno. When llio Rogue
River Indian war of 183E-0 broke out
In tho southern portion of the state
lie was 0110 of the tlrst to enlist and
served until the Indians wore subdued
and tho troops dlsbuudcd. receiving
three serious wounds In the service.
Was elected state senator from Lane
county and served from 180U to 18G8,
Hold tho position of postmaster of
Long Tom post lllco from 1870 to 1878.
Mr. Huston is a man of strong In
dividuality of character. Acquired
his education -and It Is not a limited
one by any moans In tho practical
school of experience that served so
many of our pioneers. He can be
trusted to fully carry out the dictates
of his conscience iinlntluonecd by tho
many combinations and temptations
that beset the path of tho avcrago
legislator.
Wo need not speak of his soundness
on tho great issue that lias brought
the Union party--tho party of reform
and of the pcoplo Into existence,
Mr. Huston Is amply gifted with tho
faculty of expressing hliuself, and
making himself understood, and will

Dally Oreaonlan May 12. 1803:1
I'ortland, May 11. (To the Editor)
A gentleman whose position entitles
him to the highest credit In school
affairs in Our state is reported in the
Portland Telegram, of April I5.as say
ing that he was not entirely satisfied
with the scho'jl books now furnished
the pupils of the suite and thought
that marked changes should be made
in the works on geography and arith
metic. He also thought that the
prices or school booKS should be reg
ulated, as parents have to pay more
for them tlntn the books are worth.
Examination or the prices or our
school text books in Oregon and in
ottier states fully bears out the asser
tions of this gentleman. I have re
cently received catalogues of school
books with price lists from the state
superintendents of Montana and Mis
souri. Whatever may be the result
of the present election, or whoever is
placed in theofllce of superintendent
of public Instruction, It would cer
tainly be a pity If this election should
pass by and the people of our state
rail to learn how much they are pay
ing for their children's school books
In comparison with those of otr.er
states.
In Montana, where population Is
much more sparse, and the general ex
penses or living are greater than In
Oregon, the cost or school books Is
much less. For instance, the five
school readers, Stlckney's series, pub
lisoed by Glnn & Co., cost In the ag
gregate $2.09. In Oregon the five read
ers, the Barnes scries published by
the American Book Co., certainly not
superior to Stlckney's, cost 83. The
two arithmetics In Montana, Walsh,
published by D. C. Heath & Co., cost
93 cents; In Oregon our arithmetics
Fish, published by the American
BookCo., a serious notoriously Infer
iir, cost $1. In Montana the two
geographies, published by Rand, Mc
Nally & Co., cost $1.33; in Oregon the
two geographies, Montleth's published
by tho American Book Co., cost 91.90.
In Montana copy books of the best
character are 00 cents a dozen; in Or
egon they are 96 ccuts a dozen to $1.20
a dozen.
In Missouri, where the population
Is much deuser than in Oregon, we
find, as we should expect, even bet
ter prices than in Montana. The five
readers, the Franklin series, by Sliel
don & Co., cost in the aggregate, full
cloth, $1.62; or cloth back, $1.32. The
geographies, the Rand McKally series,
cost, both, $1.23. A first reader In
Missouri costs ut retail, over the
counter, but 12 cents, against ours ut
25 cents.
It Is unnecessary to particularize.
Anyone Intere'stcd and who Is not
that has to buy school books ? may
study this out for himself by sending
direct to Montana or Missouri for
prices.
In view or this condition, in which
nearly 90,000 school children are dally
using books that cost from 25 to 100
per cent more than the children of
neighboring states are obliged to pay,
is It not astonishing that any one
should object to the charge ?
It has been currently reported that
in 1891, the time of the last school
book election, books were not changed
because the people were suffering
from hard times and did not wish u
change. It It. were true that the peo
ple did not wish a change, it vas only
because they were ignorant of the
great expense that a continuance of
books and prices were bringing upon
them. They lgnorantly believed, or
else they wero knavlshly informed,
that a change meant an increase or
expense, whereas a chungo ut that
time, or at the present time, or at
t lie next book election, means 11 vast
reduction in expense.
The change that tho people favor
will be a chance, not necessarily of
liooks, but of contract; a change of
prices, The American book Co., Itself,
which has a practical monopoly of the
book business hero, and uhlch with
11 hardihood characteristic or all In
trenched monopolies, takes no pain
to furnish us Its best publications, Is
doing business to Idaho along with
sotno twelve other companies; in
Montana, along with some eight
thcr cempanies: and In Mssourl
along with some twenty-one other
companies, and furnishes those states
Its best books ut prices us low as nny.

lic received su:h schooling as the
facilities of those early times afforded.
III9 most noted teachers were the
late well known chancery lawyer. B
F. Dowell, and the inimitable Judge
Orange Jacobs, tow of Seattle. The
former was a succcssrul teacher. The
latter, a scholarly man and forceful
teacher, who stamped the Impress of
his nonius upon many of his pupils
and was regarded the Nestor or edu
cators at that lime.
On leaving school he engaged In
teaching a short time, but soon
turned his attention to the pursuits
or agriculture, which he has since
successfully followed. He has long
been known as a careful atd popular
dairyman.
In 1874 he was elected assessor or
Marlon county, Tor two years, and was ,
appointed to till the hair term or T.
C. Shaw. During his three years as
sessorsliip, the entire cost to the
county, was less than $4500 an amount
lusuillclent to run that ollice one year
under present extravagant methods. a
In 1877 lie did the entire held work
alone less fifteen days help commenc
ing the 1st day of March, the assess
ment wits completed and the books
turned over to the sheriff and clerk on
the 1st day of October. Now it re
quires tlie assessor aud a dozen depu
ties nearly a year to complete the
work. He helped to enumerate the
census of this county in 1830 to the
entire satisfaction of the government.
Being placed upon the legislative
ticket by the People's party in 1896, he
came within 250 votes or being elected,
although it was a year of bit; Repub
lican majorities in this county. For
25 years lie lias either clerk or a mem
ber of tlie board of directors of his
school district, showing to an un
usual degree the esteem In which he
Is held by those who know him
best.
Mr. Elibbard is an original republi
can having helped organize that once
treat parly in this state. He was a
follower and admirer or the immortal
Lincoln, and .v It lie the teachings and
influence or such famous Statesmen
as Seward and Sumner, Fes-cnden and
Chase dominated the party, he kept
pace with its sturdiest votaries. He
knows the thrills and heartswells of
republicanism, when it meant some
thing besides Hannalsm When gold
was not Its God, Its creed and Its
greed. He Is abreast or all reforms
for the betterment or society. And
the inborn principle that made him a
dutiful and loving son, and a favorite
of both schoolmates and teachers
forms the basis of his character as a
man and makes him a most pleasant
companion, desirable neighbor and
friend. There is no more worthy man
in Marion county today than jv. L.
Hlbbard. He has been faithful to
every trust reposed In him and if elec

The following Is the platform adopted
by the republican party of Oregon in
s' ronventlcn assembled, at Astoria,
Thm.iay. April 14, 1S98:
' ' . the republican voters of the
srate of Oiegon, In convention assem
bled, congratulate the people of the
atato as well as of the whole nation on
the unmistakable fact that the dark
cloud of adversity, which has hung like
a pall over our fair land, has been dis
sipated. We recognize that tho return
of prosperity Is due to the restoration
of the republican party to power.
"We are In favor of the maintenance
of the present gold standard; we are
unqualifiedly opposed to the free coin
age of silver and to all other schemes
looking to the debasement of tho cur
rency and the repudiation of debt. We
bulieve that the best money In the
world Is none too good to ba assured
by the government to the laboier as
tho fruit of his toll and to the farmer
aa tho price of his crop. We condemn
the continued agitation of free silver
as calculated to jeopardise the prosper
ity of the country and to shake the
confidence of the people in tho main
tenance of a wise financial pelicy: wo
particularly condemn as unpatriotic,
the efforts of the free sliver agitators
t array class against class and sec
tion against section; we declare that
the Interests of all classes and of all
.sections of our country alike demand
a sound and stable financial system.
"Willie we deplore tho imminence c
war, we recognize that the country 1
on the eve of a war, undertaken foi
the vindication of the national honor
and the performance of a work dictated
by every instinct of humanity; we de
clare that the administration Is en
titled In this conlllct to the confidence
and support of the entire people.
'We are firmly attached to tho prin
ciples of the federal constitution; we
recognize that representative govern
ment 13 one of these principles, and we
are opposed to any change In law or
constitution which wilt abrogate this
t.me-honoied principle.
"We are In favor of retrenchment
and reform In state and county mat
ters. "We demand strict economy in pub
lic affairs, and the abolition of all
ssedless olllces and commissions.
"The salmon fishing Industry, so
fruitful a source of revenue to the
state, should be fostered, and to that
end we favor state aid in the artificial
propagation of salmon, and their dis
tribution in the waters of the state.
"We reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of the republican party of
the United States, aa enunciated by
the republican convention In St. Louis
in 1S93.
"We denounce the fusion party of
Oregon as an aggregation of polls
men, who are ready to subordinate
principles to offices. Each of the par
ties to this compact Is willing to stul
tify Itself and form alliances with ele
ments which It has heretofore de
nounced as dangerous and unfit to be
Intruated with power; we declare that
,x.d government cannot come from
nuch an alliance,"
llcan parties of the state of Oregon,
waiving all minor points of difference,
and uniting for the purpose of carrying
out the great underlying principles
Jpon which we are alt agreed, do make
and present to the people of this state
tho following declaration of principles,
and to the carrying out of which we
solemnly pledge each and every candi
date upon our unitod ticket:
First We demand tho free and unre
stricted coinage of silver and gold at
the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, with
out waiting for the consent of foreign
nations; and we are unalterably op
posed to the policy of the present re
publican administration in demanding
the retirement of greenbacks, and the
turning over of the money-maklns
power of the government to the na
tional banks, as presented by the bill
drawn by the republican secretary of
the treasury, and Indorsed by I'reV
dent McKlnley; and we especially de
nounce the avowed attempt by said bill
to fasten the country irrevocably and
forever to the slnclc cold standard.
We demand a national money, safe
xnd sound, issued by the general gov
ernment only, without the Intervention
of banks of Issue, to be a full legal
I tender for all debts public and private,
I also a just, equitable and elllclent
means of distribution direct to the peo
! :! through the lawful disbursements
; of the government.
We demand that the volume of circu
lating medium be speedily increased to
an amount sufiicient to meet the de
, mands of the business and population
! -jf this country, and to restore the Just
level of prices of labor and production.
I We favor such legislation as w ill pre
vent for the future the demonetization
of any kind of legal tender money b
pitvate contract.
We demand that the government, In
payment of its obligations, shall ute
Its option as to the kind of lawful
money In which they are to be paid,
and we denounce the present and pro
ceeding administrations for surrender
ing this option to the holders of gov
ernment obligations.
We demand that there shall be nc
fuither Issue of United States Interest
beating bonds.
We demand that postal savings banks
lie established by the government for
the safe deposit of the savings of the
people and to facilitate exchange.
Wo demand the election of United
Htules senators by direct vote of the
people.
We demand the Initiative and refer
endum system of law-making In Its
optional form, local, state and national,
and the submission by congress of all
important national questions for an ad
visory vote of the people, until such
time as the national constitution shall
have bean amended so as to provide for
direct legislation.
We condemn as dangerous and un
just the surrender, In all departments
of the government, to the Inlluence of
trusts, corporations and aggregations
ot wealth generally; and the packing of
the highest courts of the land with cor
poration lawyers, too ready to do the
will of their late employers, and to set
aside valid and wholesome laws passed
by the legislative departments of the
states and government, upon Aims
pietexts, at the behests of such Insti
tutions. We are opposed to government by
injunction.
In state matters, we demand:
A simple and well-guarded registra
tion law.
A mere equitable mode of appointing
Judge3 of election.
Stringent laws to regulate the opera
tion of fish traps, fish wheels and all
fishing gear In the waters within the
Jurisdiction of the state.
We denounce and condemn the cor
rupt and extravagant republican legis
lative assemblies, and charge that the
republican party, In its eagerness for
the spoils of office, has become divided
Into warring factions, so that it is in
capable of government as exemplified
by the condition existing In the ollice
o the state treasuier, there being at
this time more than J500.000 therein
wrung from the people by the process
of t9xatlon, while state warrants are
stamped "Not paid for want of funds."
We demand th'it all district and
county oillcers be placed upon salaries
commensurate with the duties to be
petfoimed by them.
inasmuch as railroad and other cor
porate property Is not bearing Its pro
portion of taxation, we demand that
eueh property shall bear Its Just and
equal share of the expenses of government.
