The resolution Ill the Washington
Democratic platform demanding the
appropriation of sufficient funds to
speedily open the Columbia river
to navigation" is the most phari-
saical, hypocritical plank ever placed
in political code of principles. For sew
eral years past the Democratic
house has narrowed down the River
and Harbor bill to the most contracted
limits, and the Republican senate has
fought every session to have the
amounts in this bill increased. On two
or three occasions Senators Dolph and
Mitchell have increased the sum for
Oregon after the bill came from the
Democratic house. For nearly thir-
teen years these Bourbons have made
this appropriation bill, and now, after
following for that length of time the
most niggardly policy in order to make
capital for economical administration,
to demand sufficient appropriations
to accomplish the object of internal
Improvements is not only the acme
of "cheek," but is az insult to the in
telligence of the American people.

Suits are about to be brought to re-
cover the millions of acres of land

The bill under which the present

and his efforts secured it's passage
through the the senate. The m MEASURE
recommended by President Cleveland
was much different, and provided for
the forfeiture of the wagon road land
grants without any judicial determlna-
tion of the rights of innocent pur-
chasers from the company. After the
present bill has been condemned 10y

The TINES -MoUSTAINEER continues
to call the democrats Stree traders" !"
The Democrat has quite frequently
called upon that paper to explain
what it means by the term "free-
trade" This is perfectly legitimate
and fair question, and one no candid
man should refuse to answer, but the
MoUNTA1NEER studiously avoids the
matter and refuses in toto to answer.
Now why this refusal? Simply because
it's answer would prove its own party
to be "free-traders," or it would prove
its charge against democrats to be
false. This. and this alone, is the rea-
son that that paper lodges. 1t is not
candid about the matter.-Ai6any

'sprotec,ionists" if it will suit our es-
teemed cotemporary better. Tunes

declaim against the policy of Repub-

say it is answerable for all the evils
which has befallen the country; and it
is reasonable and logical to suppose
that Bourbons are free-traders-the
opposite to the economical POL
icy of protection. Gentlemen, don't
be punctillious about this matter; but
honestly and frankly acknowledge
that you favor the national policy of
England in preference to the Amer

DEMOCRATIC APPROPRIATIONS

Tn speaking of the Waterways
convention, now in session in Cincin.
natti, the Chicago Inter Ocean has the
following truthful remarks regarding
the Late Democratic administration:
The neglect of the river and harbor
appropriations bill was one of the cry
ing sins of Mr.. Cleveland's admins
tration and of the Deme cratic ma ajority
which supported it in congress. The
south and southwest, which were
most ardent among his friends, suf-
fered most at the hands OF the late
president. His famous message indi
Gated a policy which would have
prevented tie further development of
their mining and manufacturing in
dnstries, and would have increased
the difficulties with which their to-
bacco trade contends, and the jangles
and quarrcls which his efforts to make
the message the inspiration of tariff
law resulted in neglect of the yearly
bill for appropriations on behalf OF
rivers and harbors; bill to which the
president himself, as one of the most
extreme partisans of those New York
ers who are as sectional as any south
erners in their notions of policy, was
never favorable at heart.
The Pacific slope has suffered very
much through the efforts of the DEM
ocratic lower house to cut down the
appropriations in the River and Har-
Dor bill, and especially is this true re-
garding Oregon. The small amounts
appropriated for opening the Columbia
river has delayed the work very ma
terially. and has been to the advan-
tage of the railroad corporation which
CONTROLS the traffic of this region.
The Republican senate has been pow
erless in this regard, as the bill crigi.
mates in the house, and if amended
had to be approved by its members.
To the charge of the Democratic con-
gress is laid the failure to complete
the locke at the Cascades, and this the
party will he forced to answer before
the people. Democratic platforms
may resolve as much as they please
about the necessity Of internal i'm
provements, the voters will believe
them insincere in these protestations
because Of the policy they have pur-
sued heretofore.

testation of his bravery left portions
cf his two legs on southern battle-
fields. In every Republican campaign
since he has never faltered in his sup
port of the party and party measures,
and always. deserves well of those
whom he has SO faithfully served.
His worst enemies have been in the
ranks of the Democracy, whom he has
never missed an opportunity to severely
punish for it's treasonable action dur
ing the recent war and since its close.
MIR. Tanner may not feel suited to the
pressing needs of the pension Office !;
but while the present generation re-
mains all those who love their coun-
try will feel like taking their hats off
when the old veterans Of the late war
pass them.

burgh is according to "time honored
principles" of the party. They SIM
ply take all the evils now existing,
lay them to the charge of the Repu D.
lican party, and promise complete re-
form. How easy this is to do any one
can realize. But when the fact is
taken into consideration, that for thir-
teen years this rarty Of blow and
bombast had possession of the lower
house of congress-with the excep-
tion Of one session-and for four
years of the administration and ac-
comElished nothing, any person of
ordinary discrimination knows how
hypocritical and bombastic this organ
ization is at present. Patterning after
Tammany, the sire of the party, they
believe in anything to catch votes, and
have noscruples against using the worst
falsehoods or the most shameless eva
sions. The party is true to its ante
cedents, and simply repeats history.

THREE BROTHERS DROWNED
ALIAS KING KALAKAUA.
How jim BErnes Fooled The People
OF a Western Town

The late Congressman Jim Burnes. of
st. Joe, combined with his talents as "a
lawyer aud legislator a never. ending
desire to play practical joke upon some
one, says the St. Louis Republic When
klng halakaua was making his tour of
America he was entertained at Jefferson
City, and following out royal preroga
tive and one much exercised by crowned
heads, he got, in Western vernacular. a
full-slZed load" on. He was stretched
out on settee in one of the cars of the
special train bearing him and a party of
friends to St. Louis, and was soon snor-
Ing as only Sandwich islander can do.
The fact that King Kalakaua was on
1oard the train was teiegraphed ahead,
and at every station larger or smaller
crowds congregated to catch glimpse cf
the visiting monarch. At one place a
stop was made and loud cries forthe king
were heard, the people expecting that he
would come out and make a sDeech
about the glorious country, as Is done by
the ruler of this enlightened nation. The
King was snoring placidy inside the car,
but Jim Burnes thought it would be too
bad to disapoint the crowd, and stepping
out on the rear platform in the semi
darkness he made his most profound bow
amid shouts of Long Live the KING"
The people began to clamor for speech,
and although this was an unexp ected
turn to affairs Congressman jim made the
best OF 1t, and talked to them about the
beauties of Honolulu and the climate of
the Pacific Islands, meanwhile wishing
with all bis heart that the train would
start and take him out of reach of the
loyal crowd. But the tram stood stark
still and the perspiration began to roll
down tt e face of the pseudo King. One
man stepped from the ground upon the
platform and said: King, l have a
brother, john, missionary in the
Sandwich Islands; do you know him?"
"My most particular friend" replied the
King, with harty handsLake, and here
the train pulled out amid the huzzas of
the assemblage and to the great relief of
his royal pibs.

Hon. Samuel Sullivan Cox, COM
monty kno xn as "Sunset" Cox, died
yesterday at his home in New York.
He vas born at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, Sept.
80, 1924, and was graduated at Brown
university in 1916. During his
eventful life he was lawyer, politician
and editor, and has held commanding
positions in the United States. From
1857 to 1865 he was Democratic
member of congress from Ohio, and
removed to New York in the latter
year. Again, in 1868. he was elected
as member of congress in the latter
state, and has been several times re-
elected to the same position. In con-
gress he occupied a leading position
among his partisans, and of bright,
ready wit, he always did noble work
for his party in debates. Mr.. Cox
was most renowned as q humorist,
and to American literature he has
added the inestimable works of "Tbe
Buckeye Abroad" eight Years in
Congress" "Winter sunbeams" and
"Why We Laugh" A few weeks
ago he passed through this city,
and we had the pleasure of few
conversation with him. We
found him afable and gentlemanly,
and we are sorry that so soon we are
forced to mention his demise. But he
passes to his silent resting place in the
tomb honored and respected by friend |
and enemy. He was generous to a
fault, possessed of bright and spark
ling humor and in debate was always
ready to parry a blow, and equally
willing to shake hands with q discom-
6ted foe. The memory of Mr. Cox
will be pleasant to all-Democrat and
Republican-and none will be missed
