The freshet has made havoc with part OF
the HollingswOrth & Whitney Co.'S works
at Winslow and will cause considerable
delay and expense. The river rose between
five and six feet Wednesday night and was
rising rapidly Thursday morning. At the
dam the bulkheads near the west side were
carried out by jam of logs and
driftwood during the night. The
damage here is only nominal as the
bulkheads were temporary and will be
quickly replaced as soon as the water falls.
The water stood five feet over the new dam
Thursday morning. At the pulp mill the
water overlooked the Golfer dam, where the
waste ways are being put it, and drowned
out the pump. Work cannot be resumed
on the river wall for at least a week, as
several days will be needed to clear the
Golfer dam after the water falls. The
head gates were not sufficiently tight
to keep the water out and considerable
stream flowed through the canal yesterday.
The brick work in the boiler house is going
on rapidly. The masonry and brick work
of the pulp mill will be completed abou,
the middle of next month. Purinton 4

brick when they complete their contract.

REGARD FOR RIGHT.
Principle, Not Patronage, Anlnates True
Republicans.

Livery republican has the right of free
Judgment. No president in either party
has succeeded in satisfying every mem
Der of his party, and no president has
escaped the criticism of friends whose
every wish he has found it impossible to
crafty.
President Harrison has been no ex-
ception to the rule which does not ad-
nit of exceptions. We believe. he will
be nominated on the first ballot at Min
neapolis If not by acclamatiOn, but we
haye no quarrel with those who believe
otherwise. Gen. Malone, of Virginia;
Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, and
ex-senator Platt, of this state, may all
hold to different opinions. They have
the right of free Judgment, and so have
we. But their opposition to President
Harrison's nomination has for its basis,
as every one knows, their dissatisfac-
.ion with the distribution of the pat
ronage.
The republican party, speaking now
of the great mass of its voters, is far
less concerned in the question as TO
how the patronage shall be distributed.
tion, than it is i'll the question whether
or not republican principles shall pre-
vail; whether the republican policy Of
protection and reciprocity, OF honest
money, Il free vote and a fair count, Of
good wages to American worl<ingmen,
and the defense of American manufac-
turing interests shall bc upheld or shall
20 down with the defeat of the repub-
lican party.
Principle, not patronage, IS the AMI
mating purpose of the republican heart,
and anyone among the leaders of the
party who makes patronage, not prin-
ciples, his guiding motive must in
evitably meet with opposition and
eventually with overthrow, because the
basis of his republicanisrn will be cou-
strued to be selfish, uEpatriotic, narrow
and unprincipied.
If President Harrison's nomination.
should come, as it obviously will come,
in spite of the opposition of few po-
| litical bosses, it will reveal the strength
| of the republican voters and the weak
ness of the bosses themselves He can
not afford TO make, should not make,
and, we have reason to believe, will
not make, any pledge of patronage or
spoils in return for denomination. II
his splendid administration is worthy
of the Endorsement it has received from
every state republican convention this
year, it would be folly to cast him
aside. To commend an administration
and then thrust aside the administra-
tor would be to subject the party TO
merciless ridicule and ceaseless criti-
ciSm.
President Harrison viii be renomin-
ated; he will enter the canvass unfet-
tered, under bonds to no man, obligated
only to his party and his country. Ac-
cepting the nomination as 4 free man,
he will be infinitely stronger with the
people than If he accepted it rs the
slave of political bosses At this time,
when manly independence is asserting
itself everywhere in politics, the power
of bosses 20 make or unmake public
men is confined exclusively to the dem
| ocratic party.-N Y. Mail and Express.

silver man or an honest coinage man.
He has voted against all republican
measures, but has been remarkably
careful not to originate any democratic
policy, or even to indorse warmly any
democratic policy of another's originat-
ing. He has acted as an obstructionist
to republican policy rather than as 4
representative of democratic policy. In

Outside of Cleveland, Hill and Cor

choice of the Illinois democracy. In

made themselves and their state ride

Isaac 2. Gray, but the Indiana demo-
Gratis are for Cleveland by an over
whelming majority. And so as to Boies,

nomination of Cleveland, Hill or Cor
man will be followed by guerrilla war
upon him by the adherents OF one or
both of the other two. 1t begins to look
as if the democratic party will so into
the campaign with weak platform and
a weaker candidate.
Cleveland is the only democrat who
could stand consistently upon boldly
aggressive free-trade platform. And if
the democratic platform is not aggres-
sively free trade it may as well not be
constructed. For the democrats to re-
cede from the position of 1899 is to take
steps that soon will quicken into 4
rushing "skedaddle- of the old-fash-
| ioned sort.
Briefly. by nominating Cleveland the
democrats will achieve defeat after u
more or less vigorous fight BY nomi-
mating anyone else they will achieve
defeat without the preliminary of q

Watson, the pesky Georgia demagogue,
who every once in q while breaks out
in congress with some slander of Kan
sas? Jerry Simpson, the other idiot
who persistently ISLANDERS Kansas, was
hissed down in the house recently and
will be silenced by his imaginary con-
stituents next fall. But the case of
Watson does not appear to be attended
to. i short time ago he asked congress
to make an appropriation to relieve the
starving people of Kansas, and we were
not informed that any one reproved
him for lying about the state. The
other day he asked again that congress
take action to relieve Kansas. this time
including the south with Kansas as
needing relief, and no one stood up to
say that Kansas is not a inendicant.
Why is il that this blatherskite makes
these attacks upon Kansas? Ignorant
as he is he must know that Kansas had
as good crops last year as any state in
the union, and that she is in as good fix
as any one of dozen other northwest
ern states? Why does ne not talk Of
the destitution in Nebraska, Colorado
or Iowa? Simply because an attack
upon any of these states would DC re-
sented by every member of its delega-
ticn. But, unfortunately, the vileSt

JERRYS CHANGE Or FRONT.
The Rueful Result of Speculation Causes


IL.
1t will be remembered that a short
tine since Jerry Simpson suddenly
changed front on the anti-option bill.
lie had al along been in favor of the
measure and his alliance constituents
were unable to account for his strange
course. An alliance man at Great Bend
wrote Simpson about it and has just re-
ceived reply which clearly explains
the matter. 1t may show very faulty
conception of craftsmanship. and may
not be entirely satisfactory to the au-
thor's friends, but it is entitled to con-
sideration just the same for its genuine
candor and robust honesty.
There is a little history connected
with Jerry's flop, and in order that the
matter may be clearly understood, he
goes back and gives The causes leading
up to his change of base. His opposi-
ton dates from the day Mr. c. Wood
Davis. the Kansas statistician. appeared
in Washington and went before the
committee on agriculture in advocacy
of the measure. 1t will be remembered
that Mr.. Davis is the man who last year
predicted that wheat would be worth
$3.50 to 800 before another harvest
ard advised farmers to hold
their wheat Jerry says he in
vestigated the matter and came
TO the conclusion "that the fellow was
more than half right" He held his
wheat and thereby lost 5000 Davis had
proved himself false prophet and
Jerry at once concluded that the whole
thing wss plutocratic conspiracy TO
rob the poor unsupported congressman
of his wheat He therefore determined
to oppose any anti-option legislation
that did TO: include provision to pre-
vent c. Wood Davis from prophesying.
He reasoned that this would be his only
show to get back at Davis, and that it
would in measure compensate him
for the loss OF that 200.
This is the sum and substance of q let
ter of over column in length. After
reading II Simpsons constituents will
make up their minds to send man to
congress who will not oppose a good
bill simply because some fellow whom
he has 800 grudge against favors it

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING.
A Calamity and Anti i-Calamity View of
Mortgage Statistics.

Two Junction City papers last week
gave a very fair illustration of the diff
ference. The Tribune, the organ of woe
and worms, gave a column and half
about the confirmation during the year
1891 and the January term of court, 1892,
of sales of property under mortgage.
Also table showing that in four years
the sheriff had made deeds on twenty
seven town lots and thirty-nine farms.
Well, what of it? Some of these fellows
probably swindled the loan companies;
others made business mistakes, and bor-
rowed to buy more land or speculate in
cattle, just as ali men do at times; others
may be shiftless and worked some joint
more than they did their fields; others
may be afflicted with craftsmanship
and ''feenance," and while the weeds
hide their corn they are on the
curbstone regulating the affairs Of
tae world or believing for government
aid. From this statement, considering
the times, we think the people of Geary
are in good shape, or else the loan COM
panies have been mighty clever. The
statement shows that the mortgage
property sold for S2s, 1851 less than
the face of the mortgages. This means
that there was that much more money
borrowed than the property was worth,
so that the plutocrat is really the vic
tim.
The other paper, the Union, publishes
a statement by townships of the number
of large farms owned in Geary, the third
smallest county in the state, and oper-
ated personally by the owners. There
are 210 farmers who own farms contain
ing 800 acres andupwards, and 10+ farm
ers who OWL and operate farms contain
ing POO acres and less than $50. Three
hundred and fourteen farmers, in sc
small a county, who own from 200 acres
upwards is a showing few Of the
largest and richest counties Ii
the state can make. OF these
farmers, twelve have over 1,2O0 acres
each, twelve with 500 acres and more
and thirty-fve of them have each 5OC
acres and upwards. The Union ignores
the distressing side of life because il
finds 50 much more of good cheer. One
| OF the most successful farmers in that
country, one we have known for q
quarter of century. a prominent ALI
ance man, told us year ago, while dOwr
with load of stock. that he had never
made less than $1,000 per year from h.
farm, that he was heavily in debt be
cause he was not satisfied, but wa;
seized with desire to own all the lant
around him lie went in debt for lane
he had no use for, and most remarkable
and astonishing of all he blamed no ont
but himself. Geary is all right if few
loan companies were taken in up there
