They All Prayed to One God.

A Republican, a Democrat and a
Prohibitionist went up to the temple
to pray. The Republican stood, and
with his face upward; prayed: 20
Lord, we thank Thee that we are not
like other men. We thank Thee first
of all for the pure, incorruptible,
holy Republican party. We thank
Thee that all Democrats are liars,
and all prohibitionists are fools, and
that we alone are good. We have no
special faVors TO ask, knowing that to
be consistent Thou must OF necessity
be with us"
The Democrat prayed thus: 30
Lord, Thou knowest that We do not
often bother Thee with our prayers.
Yet there be few things wherein
Thou canst be of great uEe to US.
Bless Cleveland, o Lord, but curse
his civil service. Bless the Prohibi-
ZIONIST in the North, but damn him
in the South. Bless Minnesota and
the little Norwegian. Knute Nelson,
but curse Pennsylvania and that trail
tor, Sam Randall. Bless Brother
Browne in Walia, but coufound that
Little Giant Mills, who is deep and
designing. The rest, o Lord, you
can safely trust to our care"
The Prohlbitionlst fell on his
knees, as usual, and prayed: 80
Lord, we have done aught else but
pray, 10 these many years. Now we
are going to fight, and do Thou, o
Lord, be pleased to stand by and see
fair play, while we show these Phar-
isees and Sadducees that there is a
God in Israel." ."-MinneapolS Tri-

Gobbling up the Country.

The Seattle Times thinks it Il sug-
gestive fact that the PuyalIup CONS
mcrcc, of which our friend and fell
low-townsmaD, John ". Re,liUgton,
is the absented landlord and propri-
etOr, contains nine or ten columns of
timber notices. 1t says: The fol
lowing from an interview with treas
urer Sampson, of Tacoma, published
III Wednesdays OregORiGR, may
throw some light on the subject:
The lumber syndicate recently
formed said Mr.. Sampson. is build
ing q railroad some thirty miles into
their lumber fields. Recent and now
pending acquisitions will give them
about 100000 acres of heavily tim
bered land 1t may not be superfu-
Gus to suggest that it Is extremely
defficult for a syndicate to legally
acquire 100000 acres of timber land.
Some dep0sed land commissioners,
Gen. Sparks special agents, might
possibly find food for reflection in
the advertising columns of the Com
merce." The statement of Mr.. Samp-
son was doubtless d generous repe-
tition Of the report that this compa-
ny bought $4,000 acres of land of the
Northern Pacific railroad company.
Is it possible that the company has
designs upon the government land of
this region? But the time has pass
ed when timber en- ries can be made
in violation of the law without great
difficulty.

They are Consistent"

The silk badges with which the
democrats have flooded the country,
and which bear a picture of Cleve>
land, woven in them, are manufac-
tured by w. II. Grant, Taleshill,
Coventry, England. They were or
dered by the Golden Free Trade
Club of England, and sent over for
distribution by the free trade clubs
of this country. 1t is most appro-
pirate exemplification of the demo>
cratic free trade idea that the indus
tries of England should be favored
to the detrimeut of American indus
tries. The democracy wears prop =
er badge-an English badge
The republican silk badges, into
which are woven picture of the
American flag, are manufactured at
Logan Silk Mills, Auburn, New
York. They are made of American
silk, on American looms, and repre-
sent the republican idea of protec-
ton to American citizenship and in
dustry.

hibits most plainly and practically,

ing people-and all other people
of this country
The democrats declare themselves
by lip service, the republicans by
practice. The democratic clubs pro-
vide their party a badge made OF
English material by English work
men; the republican clubs provide a
badge made of American material by
| American workmcn.
The proprietor Of the Logan Silk
Mills offers u reward of $1,000 for any
silk badge now in use, made in this
country, with the portrait Of Presi'
dent Cleveland woven into it. Al
the democratic badges bearing the
picture of Mr.. Cleveland woven into

Judge Greene on Woman Suffrage.

The following from the pen of exr
Chief Justice Greene will be of great
interest to the women of the terri
tory:
Whether or not women shall be
voters in this territory Congress has.
as / understand it, committed to the
people of this territory to determine
for themselves. Such is the plain
import of the language Of the terri
torial organic act. For purposes of
the first election congress in that act
expressly limited the exercise of suf-
frage to males, but in the same
breath provided that at subse-
quent elections the qualifications of
voters should, subject to certain lim-
itations which have no relation to
sex, be as the Legislature should pre-
scribe. The recent equal suffrage
law of our Legislature was and is in
my opinion Z valid law 1 regard it
at pre-. ent as law in this territory,
Notwithstanding the decision of our
territorial supreme court to the con.
trary. That decision I expect the
supreme court of the United States
to reverse if ever it gets an
opportunity Although the COM
prehensiVe question in the sui
frage case lately before our supreme
court was, Can, under existing ter
ritOrial legislation, the women of
Washington territory vote 2" the main
and much more interesting and
higher question was, Have the peo-
pie of Washington territory the
power to make law which Will Sc
cure to women a voice." The former
is question of the particular free
dom of citizens of the female sex.
The latter is a question Of the gen.
eral freedom of the people of Wash-
ington territory, male as well as fe-
male. Each question, inasmuch as
it touches the liberties of the citizen,
both in his or her rights as subject
and prerogatives as sovereign, is one
upon which an American public is
peculiarly sensitive, but the latter
question arOuseS a deeper concern
because it is more plainly seen and
felt to involve in a menacing nan
ner two exceedingly precious rights,
AhHeIy Ihe AISu1 VI Il peOIIc W
make for themselves laws which af-
feet simply their locality, and the
right of a people to substantial and
potent representation in the making
of every law which affects their 10
cality, which rights are the two most
fundamental principles in the whole
structure of American free institu-
tions, principles deeply enshrined in
every liberty-loving heart, and for
which has been waged every strug
gle and achieved every victory for
liberty in the history of mankind
Every sound judicial decision that
has ever been rendered involving
either of these principles has inter-
preted and construed the law liber
ally in favor of the liberty of the
subject, citizen or people and strictly
as against every curtailment or limit
alton of it.

HOW IT WORKS IN IRELAND.

Frank Hurd, the Ohio free trader,
whom his constituents showed under
when he attempted to be reelected
TO Congress four years ago, has been
trying to make free trade argument
from the condition of Ireland
whereupon Patrick Ford's New York
Irish World tears him all up into
strips, as witness the following from
its columns:
Mr.. Hurd appeals to the statistics
of Irish trade. Ireland sends out
more and brings in more than she
used to do, and therefore she is pros
psringI This increased trade is
merely an index of the country's
deepening poverty. 1t IS the export
of food and raw materials-chietiy
the former-to pay for everything
else the Irish people use. He ap
peals to wrges as proving his case.
He quotes Mr.. O'Connell as saying
wages ranged from four pence to
eighteen pence aday in 1874 and that
now they range from eight to ten
shillings a week. From this We are
to infer that the condition of Irish
labor has greatly improved. Now
remember that Mr. Hurd is not com
pairing two periods, one of which was
under protection and the other under
free trade, but two free trade periods
In 1874 Ireland had nothing protect
ed but her agriculture. Her manu-
factures had been ruined by free
trade with England. The era of
wholesale emigration had not set IN.
The labor market was overstocked
terribly and employment was not to
be had. With a population OF at
least nine millions depending on the
land alone wages were wretched
enough. But in our day some relief
has come by the transfer of more
than half the people to other coun-
tries. Only in this sense can we say
that free trade has raised wages IN
Ireland: that it has driven out some
five millions of the people and in
this fine way reduced the competition
of those who are left. This is the
cause that the Irish laborer actually
can earn $3.50 week.
Mfr. Hurd makes a quotation from
distinguished observer" which he
saws is borne out by statistical tables
to which he has access. The state
ments of this distinguished observer,
whoever ne is, are a tissue of fc-
ton, devised no doubt to justify the
continuance Of British rule III Ire
land. Who is this distinguished OBJ
server whose distinction is so great
that It is not worth while to mention
| his name? Il is not either of the
two professors of political economy
Calrnes and Cliffe Leslie, who
taught in Irish colleges and saw Ire
land for themselves. They have
united in the statement that they
found no substantial improvement II

famine. Il is not Lords Spencer

They Wouldn't if They Could Com
prehend the Situation.

A dispatch from Tacoma says that
politics are at fever heat in Washing
ton Territory; that Voorhees, is
stumping and making speeches in
every town and csoss roads in the
country, and that the Democrats are
straining every nerve to carry the
Territory, though with little prospect
of success.
The only surprise is that there are
any Democrats in that Territory, in
view of the action of the Democratic
House of Representatives upon the
question of admission. That body
has stood squarely in front of the
undoubted right of Washington Ter.
ritoro to become State. and always
will occupy that position so long as
there is a probability of its being a
Republican State after its admission
to the Union. No showing which the
people of that section can make is OF
any avail against the obstinacy of the
Confederate br:gadIer element in
Congress, which is determined that
the solid South shall not have its po-
liticaI influence lessened by the adj
mission of new Northern States.
If there are any two places where
Democrats should be scarce-beside
heayen-those two are Washing tor
and Dakota Territories. Ano mar
in either of those two populous anC
fourishing Territories who supports
the Democratic party votes directly
for keeping his Territory out of th'
Union, and for perpetuating thu
period of pupIlage under territorial
government They should know thi
without telling, and knowing it
Democratic votes should be very few

One Dollar a Day.

The Indianapolis Sentinel still I'D
deres to its assertion that General
Harrison said a dollar day was
enough for a working-man, and
every once in while it announces
that it is ready with its proof; but
somehow the proof is not forthcom-
ing.
To try and settle this question
Harry S. New, one of the proprietors
of tho Journal, has rendered 10
William English, the Democratic
candidate for the Vice-Presidency in
1880, a certified check for $4,000, with
instructions to pay it over to any
party or parties who shall establish
in judiciously conducted examina-'
ton that General Harrison, during
the railroad strike Of 1877, or at any
other time, said that zone dollar a
day is enough for the workingmen."
BY the terms of the challenge the
matter shall be submitted to Napo-
leon ID. Taylor, Democratic Judge of
Superior Court of Marion county,
and under his direction, under the
rules OF and procedure of his court,
evidence shall be submitted to jury
of twelve Democratic freeh olders of
Marion county Mr.. English has de-
clined to act as custodian in the mat
ter. The journal people state that
the money will be rendered to Jos
eph E. Mcdonald as custodian on
his return to the city.
Now if the Indianapolis democrats
can prove their assertion they have q
chance. They cannot object to the
tribunal named, as it is to consist of
a democratic Judge and twelve DEM
ocratic jurors of Marion county, il
which Indianapolis is situated i
seems to have come down now to q
question of put up or shut ap," ant
we think it Will be shut up"
The expression used is foreign tx

Harrison's character and disposition
| lie is no purse-proud aristocral, bu
a man who has himself worked for /;
living, and has not made = forum,
ont of his labor, either He doe
not believe that dollar u day il

The Encyclopaedia Britannica" i"
vol. XIII, published in 1888, con-
tains a sketch of the United States,
in which is included a section devot-
ed to manufactures. The record is
tame enough until the protective era
is reached, and then the British pub
lication expresses itself thus: "The
decade 1S50-'70 was marked by a
stupendous advance in the mechan-
icgl enterprises" This is disinteres
ted testimony, and at variance with
that of free traders who tel US thai

Jersey City two weeks since. He
left the bedside of his dying wife
because, being poor, he aad no
choice,) to play the principal part in
a bit of buffoonery in which he was
cast as first buffoon. For two mortal
hours he faced roaring crowd,
stimulating their laughter while his
own heart strings tugged and bled
He finished at length and hurried
home, but not until his wife had
died-so there was a cold welcome
for him there. People must be
