com mnission was an appointive one by
the mayor. AS one of those named in
the bill he is in the Office by
virtue of the adoption of the amended
charter, and not by the votes of the
electors of the municipality of Dalles
City. Therefore his opinions on po-
lltical matters carries little or no
weight. The theory that the Gre
publicans are divided" Is very erron-
eous. Bossism and the machine have
been defeated, and the party never
had more favorable opportunity of
securing a victory than during the
coming election. The idea of the
congressional district electing Demo-
crat is preposterous, for if Eastern
Oregon went Democrat;c-which
is not at all probable-Mult-
nomah's Republican majority would
be sufficient to overcome the
vote. In this district, there cannot be
the least doubt that the member OF
congress will be Republican, and
while we have no personal feeling
against Judge Bennett or Mr.. Raley,
the chances of their election are not
worthy of consideration. Either of
these gentlemen, if named on the Dem
ocratic ticFet, will be defeated, and the
acceptance of the nomination will be
patriotic sacrifice on their part for the
organization. Wasco, Gillian, Sher-
man, Grant, Union and Morrow are
Republican counties, with the proba-
bility of Baker being so also, and the
majority given by these will be so
large that it will be impossible for
Democratic Umatilla, Crook, Harvey
and Malheur to overcome. Aside from
a Republican majority-which is al
most certain in Eastern Oregon,
Multnomah county is always safe for
$500 for the Republican congressional
ticket. The Democracy has not the least
probability of success In this congress
sional district, and whoever the candi-
date may be he will meet with a most
crushing defeat.

The Albany Democrat never equiv
coates regarding the doctrines Of the
party, and it can always be relied upon
as representing the pure principles of
Democracy. When other papers
howled against Hill as candidate,
the Democrat was true to the time
honored principles, and has never
wavered in the support of the party at
any time. For this reason we always
read Its editorials to fird the status of
the organization in Oregon on all
questions. In its issue of yesterday it
prints as the leading editorial synop-
sis of the speech of Representative
Stevens, of Massachusetts, a large
manufacturer of woolen goods, on the
Springer wool bill, in which he uses
all his eloquence in favor of free raw
materials and protected manufactured
fabrics. We are glad to see the Dem
ocratic press falling in line in favor of
New England corporations, that have
amassed great wealth by the oppression
of the poor, and attempting to legis-
late against the farmer, who makes his
living by the products of the soil or
the increase of his focks. Of course,
the eastern manufacturer, if he could
secure free wool from Australia or
South America, and still retain the
duties on his goods, would reap rich
harvest. This may be Democracy, but
it is not the policy of the Republican
party. If the New England manu.
facturer has protection against cheap
facilities in Europe the wool raiser of
California and Oregon should have
some safeguard against peone Ia
boz in South America and ad-
vantages in Australia. This is
country by the people and for the peo-
pie, and the corporations of Massa-
chusets should not receive the bene6ts
of legislation and the farmers of the
west forced to raise wool at the same
price it can be raised in the Argentine
republic or Australia, or be impov-
erished and ego to the wall"

DEMOCRATIC INCONSISTENCY
Our esteemed cotemporary, the Eas

Our esteemed cotemporary, the East
Oregomia7, after quoting an editorial
paragraph in this paper in regard to
the Democratic lower house of congress
crooking the pregnant hinges of the
knee to Wall street in refusing to pass
the Bland free-coinage bill, although
it had l50 majority, makes the fol-
lowing comment: $50 rattles The
Dalles TINES s-MoUNTAINEER. This
paper occupies peculiar position. 1t
opposes 'free-coinage' and has done so
all along, but 1t promptly condemns
the Democrats for defeating the meas
ure, and ascribes to them the burden
of carrying the yoke of Wall street.
The TINES .MoUNTAINEER, surely, is
unfair in such structures, and is simply
doing this for the sake of party, rather
than for the right. 1t pretends to be
not an organ of its party, but this is
evidence that 1t is a servIle one and
worthy of little respect unless we
misunderstood and misintepret its po-
sition. Do we7' This paper is not
an organ of the Republican party in
any sense of the term. The editor,
from his earliest recollection, has been
in favor of the basis principles OF that
organization; but on several occasions
has condemned the resort to unfair
methods to carry elections, and have
always advocated the absolute purity
of the ballot. He is opposed to free
coinage, and has frequently stated his
convictions on this point. The Dem
ocratic party, during the Ohio cam
palgn and the election of Speaker
Crisp, emphatically placed itself on
record as favoring unlimited coinage,
and when the vote was taken did not
possess the courage of its convictions,
because, as we firmly believe, the
shadow of Wall street awed 1t into
submission. Foremost among the
Democratic papers in the state, the
East Oregonian has charged the Re
publican party of being allied to cor
poraticns, and when we find case in
point where Democracy has stultified
itself, because of plutocratic influence,
our cotemporary attempts to attract
attention from the fact by saying that
the TIMES -MoUNTAINEER Is an organ,
and is simply following the dictates of
its party. But this will not answer its
purpose. The party that elected Crisp in
preference to Mills to the highest posi-
tion in the republic--except president :
because of his free-coinage principles,
dared not voice its sentiments, for
fear the plutocracy of Wall street
would not help 1t to carry New York
in November. This paper does not
believe in unlimited coinage; but 1t
advocates honesty on all questions,
and has more respect for a free-trade
or free-coinage Democrat who dare ex-
press and vote his sentiments in con-
gress than those who attempt to de-
celve the people by preaching one doc
trine aud voting for the opposite.
But this is the plan that Democracy
has followed from its inception to the
present time. To hide its free-trade
tendencies,it advocates 'tarlff reform"
and at the behest of the money power
of New York tables the silver bill,
one of the "reforms" (D it preached
last year through the length and
breadth of the country.

The silver Bill and the Rhode Island
Election.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The active
imagination of certain people has been at
work for day or two, and has finally
formulated the story that the silver bill in
the house has only been postponed until
after the election in Rhode. Island, in or
der to save that state to the democracy if
possible. This is very doubtful, and
probably without any foundation what
ever, because large number of silver
men, who have already signed the peti-
ton asking for the cloture rule in the
house, have quietly given notice that if
the petition ever gets near a sufficient
number of names to induce the, speaker
to bring in the rule, that they would have
their names taken off, as they do not
want any further consideration of the
silver question in the house previous to
the presidential election The leaders
of the Democratic party have deliberate
ly determined to sacrifice lot of South
ern members on the silver question,
whether their places are filled by alliance
men or other Democrats, and they think
they can better afford to do this than to
take the chances of committing the party
by direct vote in favor of free coinage,
and thus make it impossible to nominate
Cleveland, the only man who stands any
show of being elected in the Democratic

The Anarchists In France.

PARIS, March 30-In accordance with
the decision of the government to adopt
most stringent measures to suppress the
anarchists, an order for their expulsion
from France was today communicated to
forty of the leading foreign anarchists in
Paris. No actual crime is charged, but
the authorities are determined to prevent
them from committing violence here.
They are known to be hand In glove with
the French anarchists, and it is believed
they will be far less dangerous if driven
from the country. Several anarchists,
warned short time ago to leave France,
paid no attention to the warning. To-day
they were taken in charge by the poilce
and conducted to the frontier.

FOOLISH DEMOCRATS.

1t is said that President Harrison's
proclamation reimposirg duties on csr-
tain products from Venezuela, Hayti
and Colon bia will be made an excuse
for bringing the question of the sus-
pensive clause before the house of rep
resentatlves, and that it will be the
policy of those who are interested In
discrediting the Mckinley bill to avail
themselves of the opportunity to at
tack it, says the San Francisco Chroa
acle
A homely but forcible maxim says:
"Don't monkey with the buzz saw" If
the Democrats in congress really have
any hores of discrediting the McKin-
ley bill or making it unpopular with
the people of the United States they
had better steer clear of the clause
which has been pronounced by Euro
pean publicists the wisest and shrewd-
est piece of legislation of the past fifty
years, and which has demonstrated its
value and utility to this country SO
plainly that the proof cannot be ques-
toned.
The validity and legality Of the act
having been settled by the decision of
the highest tribunal in the land, there
is nothing left but to assail it on the
question of its policy, and on this score
the Republicans are not only ready but
anxious for the fray. Everything that
has occurred since the suspenslve
clause went into effect has been COM
plete justification of it until this case
of Venezuela, Hayti and Colombia oc-
Cured, and that is so Insignificant as
not to initiate at all against the law
or it's operation.
If the Democrats are rash enough to
attack the suspensive clause there will
be nothing left of them. 1t has opened
foreign markets to American products
on terms favorable to US, and the free
trader hungers and thirsts for what he
calls the markets of the world. In the
second place, the suspensive clause has
already caused loss of revenue TO the
British colonies in the West Indies
amounting to over $50O,O0O, which
must be set down as distinct gain to
our exporters, as their products were
admitted on terms which enabled them
to undersell the foreigner to that
amount. Unless the Democrats in
congress have lost their heads alto
gether they will not venture to assail
the suspensive clause of the Mckinley

A Big Hanging Bee.


BUTTE, Mont, March 30.-Startling
news reached here from Lander, Wyo.,
to day. 1t is to the effect that in north
ern Wyoming in few days from now
70 cattle rustlers will stretch hemp at the
greatest hanging bee ever recorded in the
country. In 1883 10 northern Montana
between 40 and so cattle and horse
thieves were hanged by the ranchers as
rapidly as they could be captured; but
Wyoming promises to beat the record,
unless all signs fail. For ten years past
a band of cattle rustlers have operated In
that region of the couutry east and south
of the National Park. The courts have
been powerless to convict, owing to the
perfect organization of the trained wit
nesses, whose testimony was always over
whelming in favor of the defendants.
The thieves were so bold that for long
time they have been doing business as an
incorporated company with high-sound-
ing names. a hundred ranchers and big
cattle companies all over Montana, Wyo-
ming and eastern Nebraska, having cattle
south of the Crow reserve, have suffered
losses of from ten to several hundred
head of cattle and horses, and such has
been the extent of the stealing. IN some
cases, that whole herds have disappeared.
No maverick ever escaped the clutches
of the rustlers. 1t is evident they have
grown rich from their excursions. At
last the cattIemen have got together. A
delegation of thirty from Eastern Mon
tana passed through here few days ago,
armed to the teeth, and with horses, grain,
etc. They came down ON the railroad.
THE POINT OF RENDEZVOUS.
At some point of rendezvous near
lander, they will meet by agreement: at
least $50 other men, all prepared for the
expedition, and coming from different
points in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming and
Nebraska. The expedition will be fully
200 strong, and is probably even now
right in tine heart of the cattle country
hanging the rustlers. There are men in
that region who do not belong to the
rustlers, but who have been in terror of
their lives to such an extent they dare
not expose the thieves. When the ex-
pedition gets to work, the rustlers Will
Oil oe poluteu OuC ny THESE men. anu
many tree will furnish a gibbet upon
which the cattle thieves will meet their
doom. At least seventy-five, perhaps
one hundred men, will thus go out of the
business. No definite Dews of this
wholesale hanging will reach the tele-
graph office for week or ten dsvs after
the cleanup shall take place. Perhaps
many bloody encounters will tske place
before the rustlers will give up the ghost.
The cattle companies, it is understood,
raised $4,000 to defray the expenses of
the expedition. This raid of extermina
ton was planned about two months ago,
but it gained such vide publicity that it
was abandoned. Since then the move
was reorganized, ard the utmost secrecy
has prevailed until now.
