OREGON BouRBoNs.


1t has been reserved for an Oregon town
to offer the first insult to the President of
the United States that he has encountered.
jacksonville is the name Of the place whose
boorish Democratic officials chose to expose
their churlish and disloyal tendencies by
refusing to receive the President. The
loyal people were, however, presentin suffi.
cient numbers to counterbalance this act Of
brutal incivility, aud al the Bourbons got
by their ostentatious rudeness was the
hearty contempt of all civilized and self
respecting people. These Jacksonville
Bourbons must be peculiar tribe, more
fossilized and barbarcus than tie average,
and less intelligent. Otherwise they would
have realized that they had much to lose
and nothing 10 gain by exhibiting such
baekwoods hoggizhness of disposition, and
they would bave been modest enough not
TO try to be more Democratic than the
great centers of population through which
tho President has passed. Jacksonville
apparently is the kind of place where it
would surprise no one to hear that the rebel
Gag had been raised.

No man whose word and reputation are
worth anything Will dare to deny this. 1t
constitutes alike the disgrace and danger of
our politics, and it must be reformed be-
fore We can proceed to any other considera-
tions. And because this state of things
proceeds from Southern resistance to free
institutions, and because Southern influ-
ence guides and controls the Democratic
party, We affirm that the Southern ques-
ton is necessarily the dominant issue in
this campaign, and that it is the clear duty
of every Republican to see that It is not
given a second place in discussion. What
are questions of the tariff, OF the currency,
OF any other import, compared to this So
long as the ballot is not free at the South
it is not free at the North. The bulldozers
who count out Republican votes in Ala
bama are the assailants OF liberty in Cali
fornia also. The whole canvass turns on
this issue. Il is not in any sense an ordi-
nary Presidential election. 1t is not a
question Of untrammeled choice between
the candidates of two parties working
under similar conditions. 1t is ques-
ton whether the Northern and Southern
Democrats in alliance shall steal the
Presidency by suppressing the Republican
vote of the South, or by counting that vote
as Democratic No man doubts that if
tho Southern Republicans were free to
vote as they pleased, the sohdity of the
South would disappear, and with it Han
cocks last chance. And what does this
mean? 1t means that the cole reliance of
the Democratic party is upon force and
fraud that it has arranged the campaign
by packing the South as preliminary
that having already stolen ten States it
comes forward to dispute the Northern
ones with its rivals, and that Is coolly es-
Inmates the electoral votes it has stolen in
advance IS part of its legitimate pos
sessions. Clearly, therefore, this is not
an ordinary campaign, and clearly the
main issue is whether the stealing of States
by the forcible and fraudulent suppression
of the franchise shall be admitted as a
permanent political practice in this coun-
try. To expose the Democratic pro.
gramme, to characterize it as it deserves,
to sweep away the fogs of sophistry and
cant with which Democratic journals and
speakers seek to cloud the real issue, this
is the duty OF the Republican press, and in
performing this duty it must speak boldly
and plainly. There are times when
earnestness may be unnecessary, but as
suredly the present is not one of them.
The soundness and the permanence and
the reality of constitutional government
and of Republican institutions are at stake,
and no zeal can be too warm where such
vital matters are in issue.

GENERAL GRANTS SPEECH

General Grants speech at Warren, Ohio,
is decided success. 1t is very plain and
simple, but it is full of strong meat. The
view he takes OF the political situation Is
singularly in accord with that which the
readers Of this journal have been familiar
lied with. He is Republican, he says,
because the Republican party " is a national
party seeking the greatest good to the
greatest number of its citizens" And he
defines the difference between the two
parties in significant and telling way.
There is not" he says, "a precinct in
this vast natien where Democrat can
"not cast his ballot and have it counted
/" as cast. No matter what is the predom>
nance of the opposite party, he
IS can proclaim his political opinions,
even if he is only one American,
" without fear and without prescription.
There are fourteen States, and
localities in some others, where Republi.
" cans have not this privilege. This is one
treason why l am Republican" He
then proceeds to give other reasons, in the
faithlessness of the Democracy, in its

THE REBEL FLAG.


IL would seem that the Southern Demo-
Gratis and their Northern sympathizers
were displaying their real sentiments
rather prematurely, ii we may judge from
recent intelligence. Two accounts of rebel
Gag rsizings were received yesterday In
one case the stars and bars were hoisted
on Hancock flagstaff at Georgetown, D.
c.. in full view of the National Capitol,
and it is said to have waved there for
several hours. The other rebel demonstra-
ton occurred at Fort Wayne, Indiana,
where the Confederate flag was carried in
Democratic procession until the County
Committee, alarmed at the effect produced,
caused it to be withdrawn, We suppose
that these playful exhibitions Of rebel senti-
nent may be attributed to the encourage.
ment Maine has just given to the ~ lost
cause" Apparently the gentlemen vino
are contending for the principles of Lee
and Jackson, as Wade Hampton says, look
upon the fight as already won, and do not
think it necessary any longer to conceal
their real dispositions. It is a long time
since the rebel flag has been deliberately
Haunted upon Northern soil, but those
who homer it evidently believe that it viii

look forward to time when the hosting
OF the Stars and Stripes viii be regarded as
an outrage. Meantime there remain

say on this question of the flags before all

of principle. in its alliances
with all the Yreckers and regulators, in
its intolerance, in its dishonesty, in its
addiction to fraud, in its hatred and oppo-
sition to free institutions. He exposes the
utter lack of consistency in the professions
and positions of the party. He says it is
united in but one thing, and that is in
'tgettirg control of the Government in all its
branches. 1t is for internal improvement
" at the expense of the Government in one
e section, and against this in another. 1t
favors the reputation of solemn
" engagements in. one section, and the
"honest payment of its debts in another,
"where the public will not tolerate any
:" other view. 1t favors fat money in
Zone place, and good money in another.
Finally, it favors the pooling of all
tissues not favored by the Republicans,
"to the end that it may secure the one
principle upon which the party is most
" harmonious unit, namely, gaining con-
{" troll of the Government in all its
branches" This is truthful and preg-
nant characterization of the present con-
dition of the Democracy, and General
Grant has shown in this speech that al
though he has figured all through his long
public career as the silent man," he
knows how to speak effectively enough
when the occasion arises. He predicts
that the solid South viii be broken up, but
he declares that " this desirable solution
can only be obtained by the defeat, and
=" the continued defeat, of the Democratic
party as it is now constructed"

HYPNoTIzING INDIANS. Henry de Par
vile tells, in the Debots, very curious
story of hypnotism," or mesmerism. Ed
gar Poe conceived the CHASTITY idea of mes
merizing dying man, but NJ. de Parville's
experiment was not quite so original. He
was living, twenty years ago, among the
Mosquito tribe of Red Indians. One even
ing, for want of better sport, he "hypno-
tized' half dozen able bodied Mosquitoes
by making them fix their eyes on the glass
shoppers of carafes. After few seances
the Mosquitoes became expert subjects, as
M. de Parville found out in a curious way.
He was passing their huts in the dark,
while the hypnotized patients lay asleep.
One by one they arose and followed him
like shadows When he walked they
walked, when he ran they ran, and they
initiated each of his actions. With little
trouble he might have become the medi-
cine.man OF the tribe, and led host of hu-
man automatic to peace or war. There is a
parallel, of a kind, to this experience in an
anacdote of famous Cambridge mesnler-
ist. 81 say JONES'" said friend one
morning after chapel, sit is all very well
for once, but don't do it again. Don't
do what 2 asked the unconscious Jones.
The victim replied that Jones had success.
fully "willed" him to get out of bed and
sit in his tub for half an hour on the pre-
vious night. 1t was in vain that the mes
merist protested his entire innocence. He
had to relieve his friends mind by promis-
ing him never to "will' him in the future.

THE COUNTY OFFICERS DECISION.

The Supreme Court has rendered de-
cision to the effect that no elections for
county officers are to be held this year.
Two Of the judges, Thornton and Sharp
stein, concur in the leading argument /;
Ross and Morrison concur in the con-
clusion, but differ in details Mckee and
McKinstry have theories of their own ON
non-essential points and Judge Myrick
dissents. 1t is an interesting fact that the
sense of the leaders of the California
bar, so far as it has been expressed, is in
direct opposition to the positions of the
majority of the Court on this question.
This, however, is not at all singular, for
the bar has rarely, if at ell, held with the
decisions of the present Supreme Court.
This, of course, shows that the bar is
wrong, and that The Court is always right,
and, indeed, this must be SO, since it is
well known that only the ablest jurists
ever seek Judicial positions of this
kind. When, therefore, it is found that
the bar of the State is unable to perceive
the wisdom and soundness of the de-
cisions of such tribunal, the circumstance
is highly discreditable to the aforesaid bar.
and proves thatit is composed of pettifoggers
and intellectual light weights. 1t is to be
hoped that the bar of California feels
sufficiently Inundated at being once more
found in opposition to the majority of the
Supreme Court, and that henceforth it will
be prudent enough to refrain from venturing
any opinions until it knows how the Court
stands upon the subject in issue. The fact
that the majority Of the Court are Demo-
Gratis, and that the dissenting Judge is Re.
publican, Of course, has no significance /;
nor has it any bearing upon the circnm-
stance that the Democrats were particularly
anxious not to have county elections this
year. Though people cannot be prevented
from making remarks about condolences of
even this innocent character, it could
be wished that there was less plsusibility
in the stories that are being circulated as
to the nature of the alleged bargain be-
tween the Kallochites and the Democrats,
aud its bearing upon the succession to the
United States Senate. Meantime, there
will be no elections for county officers,
and that source of activity and prosely tism
must be regarded as dried up.

A New PHENOMENON OF MAGNETISM. -
1t is well known that the ratio between
the residual and the temporary magnetism
of bar Of steel enveloped by magnetic
ing coil diminishes as the bar becomes
shorter and thicker. NJ. Aug. Kighi was
led by theoretical considerations to con-
clusion which is opposed to ordinary phe.
nomena, but which experience has con-
tirmed in every particular. 1t is this Ii
we take bars of the same steel and of the
same diameter, but of diminishing lengths,
we finally reach length which shows no
magnetization. and with still smaller
lengths we obtain residual magnetism
which is opposite to that of the coil.

COLONEL FAR AS A POLITICIAN.

Colonel Fair has written a letter de-
claring his candidature for the United
States Senate, and setting forth his merits,
as seen by himself. He says he has care
fully read the Cincinnati platform, and
heartily indorses the principles enunciated
in it. and he proceeds to add " a change
" Of administration is necessary to bring
"to successful conclusion tie economic
"reformS so successfully commenced
"by a Democratic Congress-" This is
really a remarkable statement. Is it
possible that Colonel Fair possesses in
telligence of Democratic economic reforms
which have been concealed from the rest of
the country? Where did he learn of the
existence of these economic reforms? In
what do they consists Who are the
Democrats who introduced them? And
how does it happen that nobody but Colonel
Fair ever heard of them before These are
questions which the Colonel may find some
what difficult to answer; but since he
has spoken of supposititious reforms en-
anating from Democratic Congress, he GER
tainly ought to be able to inform listening
country what it is he alludes to. Assured
ly the Democratic leaders are ignorant Of
the existence of this fund of political
capital, for they have made no attempt to
utilize it. In fact they have been defend
ing their bad Congressional record all
along. Is it possible that Colonel Fair
has reference to the financial record of
bis party when he speaks of q economic re-
form ?" If so we can perhaps help him
a little by reviewing its salient points. We
will take the record of the House of Repre-
sentativessin the rebellion. To begin with,
every Democratic member voted against
the Fourteenth Amendment, which asserts
the inviolability of the national debt. In
1865 a bill was introduced pledging the
payment of the bonded debt in coin. Only
one Democrat voted for that. When it
was proposed to issue four hundred mill
ions additional greenbacks, II Democrats
only opposed it. Dat of 1873 Democrats
voting on the repeal Of the Resumption
Act in 1877, LOG voted in the af-
firmative When resolution to pay
the bonds in silver was intro
duced, ll2 Democrats out of 1876
voted for it. The Allison. Bland silver
bill received the affirmative votes of III
Democrats ont of l39. And Warmers bill
of May "a, 1879, making silver certificates
receivable for all Government dues, re-
ceiyed 1919 Democratic votes, or all but
eleven. These are some of the facts of
Democratic performance in the line of
" economic reform, but possibly Colonel
Fair was thinking of something else when
he said that change of administration
was needed AS, however, there is no
direction in which anything in the
shape of reform has been proposed or
advocated by his party in Congress, We
confess ourselves at loss to comprehend his
and regret that he did not specify
the precise reforms he had in his mind-if
only to have enabled Us to demonstrate
that the Democrats have not sought them.
Colonel Fair, however, is starting out well
as Democratic politician, for he has evil
IDENTIFY learned already the art of drawing
upon his imagination for his facts.
