SHREWD UNCLE ROSWELL.

A New York paper reports Governor
Roswell Flower as saying:
Unless the Industrial situation improves your
Uncle Roswell will decline a denomination II
is better TO have record OF a good Governor
for one term than to be defeated for second
But if the President does not stop his warfare
on the Democratic machine OF this State l
shall not accept the nomination again even IL
the conditions do improve somewhat. II will
simply be waste OF time. No Democrat can
hope to be elected.
Governor Flowers speech, of course.
favors the Hill point of view. lie seems
TO consider Mr.. Cleveland failure both as
statesman and as a party leader. The
measures Mr.. Cleveland has urged upon
Congress are as injurious to general busi-
ness as his foolish New York nomin nations
are to the efficiency of the party. If Mr..
Cleveland had made record as a states
man the country would have forgiven him
for any side blows he might have admins
tered to the Democratic State machine. If
he had recommended Congress 10 repeal
the silver-purchase clause in the Sherman
act. and ahided the result without an at
tempt to influence votes by the distribu-
tion of patronage. people would have re-
spected the President who did not ap-
prove of his policy. If he had submitted
his tariff views to Congress and then let
that body shane its bill 10 suit business
interests people who do not think the
present tariff should be repealed would
have recognized the Presidents right to
entertain contrary views. So with regard
to Peckham's nomination. Why this
estentatious use Of patronage and social
influence to secure the confirmation of a
nomination thatis offensive to his par ty in
his native State2 Tie warning Of SO
.shrewd a popular leader as Roswell p.
Flower should awaken in Mr.. Cleveland
mind a doubt If hes really either states
man or party leader. :.

The Insurance Company Wants a
New Trial.

A motion has been made by J. e. Campbell
and James ii. Budd. representing the Connecti-
cut Mutual Life Insurance Company, for a new
trial of the sult in which a verdict was recently
given Mrs. Mamie b. McWhirter for upward
OF $4,000 as Insurance due upon the life of
her husband, who met his death in August
1892. Judge Gilbert. who has returned to
Oregon, arranged a date with the counsel on
both sides when he would return here and
listen TO argument upon the motion.
Incidentally the costs and fee bill incurred
during the last trial, and which the insurance
people Will have to pay in whole or in part.
has been filed and amounts to S1190 80. The
insurance company will contest the payment
except in so far as it complies with the act Of
Congress of 1858, which provides that wit
nesses shall receive 81 90 a day and mileage,
and also fixes the clerks and jurors fees.
Among the items which viii be contested are
those for the services Of Professor Thomas
Price, DIR. +. Cook W-bb aud w. +. Smith, who
are classified as experts" and for whom 500
each is asked; also an item or S100, percent
age allowed by law" This last item is allowed

THE OLD AND THE NEW.

In speech in the House on the Nc
Creary resolution. General Sickles con-
trasted the old Democratic policy with the
new. Among other things General Sickles
said:
have always regarded this Government as a
unit. DO not believe that one administration
Is court OF appeal or review for the acls OF a
preceding administration.
On this point General Sickles and Presi-
dent Cleveland disagree. The proposition
to annex Hawaii was not before the con-
vention which nominated Mr.. Cleveland,
but he promptly marked out line of
policy for his party to follow. His first
movement was to undo an act accom-
plished-to withdraw from the Senate a
treaty submitted to the Senate for con-
sideration. He could not trust Senate Of
the same party as himself with a proper
disposition OF the matter. On another
point Mr.. Sickles said:
Sir, good deal OF sensbiliiy has been shown
about proiectorate over those Islands, -as II
this Thought were a new suggestion with ref
erence to our Pacific interests. Have gentle
men forgotten that as long ago as 1S47 MIR.
Buchanan, then Secretary OF Stale, negotiated
protectorate. over lhe Is bmus of Panama
with view 10 our rising power In the Pacific
0cean2 This was in the administration OF
President Polk. There was no objection to
that treaty. 1t has stood for nearly fifty years
upon our statute-books. 1t bas caused no in-
convenience, but, on the contrary, has given us
a afoothUld aud control over the isthmus that is
deem d essential 10 our interests.
Other instances are given In which our
Government has exercised the rights of a
protectorate. The Monroe doctrine itself
is protectorate. Even the committee
whose report General Sickles criticized
declared that foreign interven ton in the
political affairs of the island will not be
regarded with ind ference by the Govern
ment Of tie United States" This is not a
strong way of putting the proposition. but
If it means anything 1t means that the
United States will make sufficient pro-
test should any Government assume to ex-
ercise control Of the islands. Then General
Sickles gave the House sample of old
time Democracy
AS long ago as 1854 heard Governor Marcy
say, and he was a conservative and wise states
man of the old Democratic school, that the
Sandwich Islands must never belong to any
other power, and in the course OF events must
belong to the United States. i agreed witt
Governor Marcy then. and ] agree with hin
now. And If 1t is not good Democratic doc
