monuments of civilization in the ill
duIgehcs of a miserable conceit
which they are pleased to think is
related 10 patriotism. These Grim
inals are the worst that have been
produced in any age or country.
There determination is a necessity of
civilization, and the 'trights" Of an
[rish.American to the free use OF
nitroglycerine must be exunguiShed.
The liberties of mankind are not
likely to suffer much from restraints
placed upon the indulgence Of pro-
pensity tor wholesale murder. LII
this blessed country there are regu-
lations against the indiscriminate
carrying of deadly weapons, and we
do not see that the British will be
to blame if they regard an Irish
American, even if wrapped in the
American flag, as murderous mis-
creant if he goes about with nitro -
glycerine bomb in his coattail.

The Mexican is a cross between
the Spaniard and Indian. His ma
ture is made up of number of con-
tradiciions. He stands on the verge
of barbarism and on the threshold OF
civilization. He does not wish to
fall back into the one and is inca
pable of entering the other. He has
civilized desires. lie is capable oil
developing into civilized being.
BY process of evolution Mexico
may become a fourishing civilized
country. The great curse of Mexico
is the illiteracy of her people. Hit
eracy supplanted by intelligence
idleness will disappear and the coun-
try will advance in reputation and
happiness. Foreign capital which
has been pouring into Mexico for the
last few years will have q tendency
to remove some of her national i'm
pediments.

ME. v1L1AaD's SPEECH At poRTLAND.

Henry Villard's speech last weei
to the citizens of Portland seems tx
have the effect to inspire the people
OF the metropolis with much conf
dence IN his schemes. The fact o.
the matter is Mr.. Willard met the
people of Portland about one and q
half years ago in a similar manner
and frankly told them of his enter
prise and what he intended to do,
since which time most of what be
promised has transpired; thus the
people of Portland have by actual
experience learned to regard his
promises as a matter of certainty.
Mr.. Willard appears 20 possess the
necessary backing to carry forward
his projects without numerous and
timely delays. In other words he
appears TO 60 forward evidently in
tending TO build his various lines of
transportation for the benefit of the
present generation. 1t ls true that
his transportation lines throughout
the northwest are practically a mono
poly but the people had best have a
monopoly than nothing instead.
Monopolies have to come FIRST before
the volume of transportation gro VS.
to sufficient amount to justify saffi-
cient opposition to break the mono
poly. Mr.. Wizards system of rail-
roads seems to have the effect of
bringing into the northwest more
migrants in one year than have come
in ten years before. His building of
the west side road from Corvallis to
Junction, while it will have the effect
to deprive us of the slight advantage
Of terminus, yet it will make the
west side through line which will
give it much advantage in the vol
ume of .rayel which heretofore she
has had but little, because people do
not like to come to a place and after
seeing it have to back out from it
over the same road whichs brought
them to it. If he would give US an
express train arriving here at an ear
ly hour in the day from Portland he
would do good thing for the &C.
commod alton Of our people.

A recent dispatch says a valuable
discovery of old records has been
made in the treasury department.
For years past it was supposed that
old records OF the pay department
previous to 1892 were lost, but re-
Gently the pay records from 1884 to
I792 were found in the dast-covered
files under the roof of the treasury
building. These books contain the
accounts of General George Wash
ington, Benedict Arnold, Aaron Burr,
Jonathin Trumbul, Marquis De La

champions of the revolutionary
struggle.

AMERICAN foRK.

It seems that Germans are not so
sure about the unwholesome qualities
of American pork as appears from
the statement in a recent dispatch to-
wit: "The NY. Post prints a letter of
committee of the Hamburg impor-
ters of pork, to our chamber of com.
merce. declaring their determination
tolset on foot movement for the re.
peal of the law forbidding the impor-
tation of American pork, and the res
toration of the chamber. They ex-
pect to be able to prove that the
charges made about the unwhole-
someness of American pork are un-
founded, and they suggest a more
strict and authoritative examination
of the exported article. They say:
I'VE have taken the greatest pains to
learn from what sources the insinua.
tions have come to our government,
and have finally traced them, TO a
pamphlet by 7. Brette, of New York..
We have tried hard to persuade our
that there is no proof
whatever of the alleged unwhole-
someness, and have succeeded in
drawing public attention to the mat
ter, which siuce has greatly occupied
our press.'

STAR ROUTE TRIALS.

Some OF the so'ca:led democratic
organs raise a great hue and cry
denouncing the republican party for
reason Of the "Star Route ROBBERS
and the trials OF them. These rob-
beTs and pIunderers if guilty as &c
cused should be punished and their
punishment can not be too severe,
and a republican administration is
proceeding to administer the punish
ment. But On the other hand who
ever heard of democratic admin
istration either State or National
taking any part whatever in the
punishment Of the crimes committed
by their political Office holders in
official position ? Such an instance
cannot be found in the history Of our
country. Those "Star Route Rob
bers" "That motley gang of Grim
inals" after democrats or republicans
either or both of them have con
templated them sufficiently and be-
come thoroughly acquainted with
their ancestry they will no doubt
learn that the "crowd of lepers"
spoken of are true descendants of the
followers of that noble ancestry who
assisted Ez-Secretary Floyd and 9th
er followers Of Buchanan's admins
tration to steal all the guns, artillery
and munitions Of war in 1889 and
1860, and turn the same over to the
Southern Confederaoy that they
might shoot 10 death the life of the
government with her own guns and
ammunition. Or some of that "putre-
factions horde of thieves under
Brady and Dorsey" may be half
brothers or country cousins to that
other horde of thieves and plcnder-
ers which followed closely in the foot
steps and were the admirers, aiders
and abettors Of that horde of office
peculators who during eight years
of the Grover, Chadwick admins
tration in Oregon succeeded in rob
bing the Sacred school fund of the
State Of Oregon out OF several hun
dred Thousand dollars. But the
bourbon democrats of Oregon were
not even in favor OF administering
slight punishment to that political
thievery in Oregon. But on the con-
trary they. administered political
ostracism to the late John Thomp-
son, Ex-Gov. Thayer, and many 9th
er honest men in their party who be
lieved that crime in political Office
holders should be punished.
We believe that offenders should
be punished for peculatione COM
mitted while in official ca pacity, and
SO does the republican party and
punishment of such cases is what
that party invariably does under such
circumstances. But the democratic
party during the last five years was
all broke up and tore assunder be-
cause the dominant element in that
party favored and was sympathisers
with the public peculators of the
Grover, Chadwick administration
and were opposed to the punishment
of them.

A dispatch to the Orego,aia,s OF
the 1st instant announces the sale to
London syndicate of $3,000,oOO
worth of first mortgage bonds of the
Oregon and California railroad,
which, it is said, secures the compile
tion of the road to the junction with
the California and Oregon branch ot
the Central Pacific. If this news is
correct and to be relied upon it will
no doubt soon give us direct Fail
road communication with San Fran

states the fact because it agrees sub

would be done in the way OF com
pleting this railroad.

The United States should treat as
common enemies to all mankind such
men as O'Donovan, Rosa and other
dynamite agitators in America who
gather together and publicly advo-
cate the killing of their fellow enc
mics and which also involves the
lives of innocent women and children.
especially in time of peace. The
United States if she desires to save
her own credit among civilized ma
tious should take some steps to pun
ish these murderous criminals and
drive them from the land. The same
class of outlaws were not long since
paying their special attention to
Russia, now it is to England by the
same means of barbarity and the next
thing, we may expect to find them
giving the United States trouble
when England no longer engages
their attention. Such class of men,
with such destructive and unprin-
clpled spirit can be found IN every
nation. .-..-.

The newspaper fraternity of Ore

The newspaper fraternity of Ore

citation. By so doing its members
might be Of much benefit to each
other. IF nothing better was accom-.
plished they could then adopt some
definite manner of treating Eastern
advertisers who rob the newspaper
fraternity of this coast. For a long
time we have steadily refused to ad :
vertise for eastern men unless they
would pay the same rates as our To-
cal advertisers. This course should
be pursued by all with the addition
al requirement that they should be
compelled to pay for their space in
advance.

There is an unpleasant conspicu-
ity of the word "American" in The
news of the dynamite assassins, that
comes from England, says the Gin

duty in this country just now than
to relieve its people of all suspicion
of participation in the hideous crimes
that have been done, and attempted,
by gang ofseoundrels full of vanity
and stepped in sensationalism, who
take the name of Ireland and of
America in vain. There is a good
deal of banging and shooting to do.
Civilization must conquer the worst
form of anarehY that has ever ap-
peared. TlHghRed States is the
last country where there should be

incapable of good works, would in

malice, annihilate the great things
that have been accomplished. The
first thing to do is to deal with the
criminals who would massacre the
innocent and destroy the grandest

The Democratic State Ticket.

The action of the Democratic State Con-
vention was foreshadowed by the results of
the conventions in the city of Baltimore and
in the various counties of the State. The
ticket nominated represents the free, I'M
BIASED choice of majority of the Democrats
other, it should receive the hearty support of
every man opposed to Republican domino
ton in this State
The ticket has n higher and better claim
besides, upon the support of every good citi-
zen. The candidates named are men of ac
knowlcdgcd ability, of mquestioned intcgri-
ty and of experience in public affairs, who
if elected, will discharge the public trusts
committed to them with fidelity to the people
of Maryland, and with honor TO themselves
and their State
Mr.. McLane, our candidate for Governor
is one of the foremost statesmen of the coun-
try His public services have extended over
many years, and have been brilliant, useful
and honorable, winning for him national
reputation. The people of Maryland should
take pride in clecting such man to the
highest Office in their immediate gift. The
Democratic party, especially, has reason to
congratulate itself that it numbers him
among its lifelong supporters. He has not
sought the office, but accepts the nomination
as n duty which he owes to the Democratic
party.
Mr. Roberts, our candidate for ATTORNEY
General is well-known and popular in Har-
ford county. The record of his two terms in
Congress amply demonstrates his ability, his
official integrity and his devotion to the pub
lie duties deyolving upon him, while his
private Ia md character are pure and blame
less.
Mr.. Turner, candidate for Comptroller,
was born a farm RS boy in Talbot county, in
1874. He has filled with credit various pub
lie positions in his native county. In 1878
he was elected clerk of the county court and
was re elected in 1879.
The platform to which the candidates and
the party are pledged is presentation of
sound Democratic principles, covering all the
questions of governmental policy now agitat-
ing the public. 1t is n scathing arraignment
of the misgevernment and frauds of Republic
can administration ofnational affairs; declares
for the rights of laboring men and for re-
strainng the power of corporations; nvors
assessments for taxes according to every per-
sons actual worth in real and personal prop
erty, &c.
The Democrats of Hartford will cheerfully
endorse the platform and give McLane
Roberts and Turner handsome majority.

The Nri0le Celebration.

The Orole festivities, which were interrupt
ed by the great storm of last week, opened
on Thursday night, with the reception of
Lord Baltimore and his court The approach
of the steamboat containing his Lordship
was announced by the screechng of n hun
dred steam whistles in the harbor AS the
royal vessel approached, the harbor was bril-
liantly lighted with electric and calcium
lights, and the gaily decorated vessels, strains
of music and explosion of fireworks made
scene unrivalcd in its brlliancy by anything
heretofore seen in Baltimore. Upon arriy-
ing at the wharf the royal party were escort
ed to the City Hall, where Mayor White wei
coined his Lordship and gave him the freedom
of the city, by handing over its keys. About
5000 men were in line. The procession was
reviewed by Lord Baltimore at the Academy
of Music and dispersed.
The great pageant took place on Friday
night, and was witnessed by hundreds of
thousands of people. The spectacle repre-
scented "The Lost Continent" Atlantis,
which in neurological lore occupied place
in the Atlantic Ocean. Neptune, the god of
the ocean, is said to have founded it, and the
inhabitants, after reaching high state of
civilization, persisted on account of their
wickedness, the entire continent having sunk
beneath the waves. The bright coored floats,
the gailydressed fgurantes, the flashing
lights and music from many bands combined
to form spectacle of Oriental splendor and
magnifcence.
At one o'clock th rurantcs reached
the Academy of Music, wh re u grand ball
took place. 1t was preceded by a tableau
which presented the Oriental idea of a terres.
trial paradise. The scenic setting represented
a sylvan fairyland. Trees lowered high in
air and tangled their branches overhead
Hanging gardens mingled their luxurant
growth with climbing vines. Flowers of
every hue peeped out from fantastic crevices
and lent their frail stems rs supports for tiny
birds to perch upon. Sparkling gems grew
confusedly on trees side by side with fruit,
and in the same wild profusion The re-
suit was rich, brilliant, unearthly mixture.

A REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE WHO rs NOT A
VoTER-Thc Republicans surely must be at
a loss for men willing to sacrifice themselves
for the good of their party by accepting n
place on their ticket. Mr.. John T. Ward, of
the fourth district, whom they haYe substi-
tuted for Mr. Kirkwood as candidate for
the Legislature, is not even qualified voter
of Hartford county. He has never been reg
istcred, although he has lived here for many
years. 1t seems to us that a man who is so
indifferent to the simplest duty of every good
citizen is not fit to represent the people of
Hartford county in the Legislature. His
peace and quiet should not be disturbed
Perhaps he will now be registered but pro-
badly nothing less than nomination for of
flee would have moved him to do it.
