THE lfEPHISTO FROM MAINE

The New York speech Of Thomas B.
Reed, the heavy weight of the Republi-
can sriumvirate conspiouously men,
toned as presidential posaibilitieg, and
sometimes dubbed "the Mephisto from
Maine," will hardly be deemed. even by
his admirers, wo opine, az coming up to
their expectations or justifying in any
degree the popular estimate Of him as
"a devil of fellow" Unduly elated
over the result OF the elections in Maine
and Vermont-which occurred imme-
diately succeeding the adjournment OF
congress and before the new tariff law
had chance to justify itselI--he is i'm
bued with the idea. apparently, that
every other state between the two
oceans will follow their example in
November.
Like bis competitors for the Republic
can presidential nomination, he charges
the Fifty-third congress with having
failed to carry out it's platform pledges
to the people, ignoring the fact that,
/ saving the retention of two or three
articles in the Wilson tariff schedules
which should have gone on the free
list, it has amply fulfilled every prom.

"GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL"

The Republican orators throughout
this canvass have been making great
deal of noise about the protection that
the Mckinley bill gave to the wool
growers of California, and have been
predicting misiortunes, dire and ire
mediable, to grow out OF the new tariff
bill.
The Mckinley bill closed the port of
San Francisco to Australian wool because
the wooden mills of that city could not
afford to pay the Mckinley duty on that
staple in addition to So per ton for Ma
naimo coal to mako steam. The Ore
gon mills, running entirely by water
power and being at no expense for fuel,
took advantage OF this and ran day and
night, making more money in the three
years of ths Mckinley bill than they
had made in the twenty years previous.
With the wooden mills of San Fran
cisco closed to the wool-growers OF this
state, and no other home market open
to them, the wool-growers were then
Obliged to ship their wool east and take
such figures as the eastern buyers saw
Ht to allow. After paying railway
freight. interest, storage. exchange, Ina
Eurance and other charges, real and
constructive. there was little or nothing
left for the primary producer.
Today under the new tariff bill,
which let's in Australian wool free OF
duty, the price of wool in San Francisco
is two cents per pound:Qor high quality
more than it was ninety days ago when
the Mckinley law was in full force and
effect. The cause OF this rise in the
price Of the homegrown article is that
Australian wool can now bs had fol
warp for live-and-let-live prices and th,
San Francisco woolsn mills will soon be
running on full time.
We are aware that the San Francisco
wooden mills employ q good deal O
Chinese labor. which is no great caus
for congratulation. But they also en-
ploy white labor in the ratio OF 6 to 2
and they keep the money in the stati
that has been, for the last three years
going to the eastern states and to Ore
gon for blankets and cass:meres. Will
the San Francisco mills once more opel

That Mr.. Estee is good citizen OF his
adopted state the HERALD has never
sought to deny. This Is no time for
vulgar abuse and coarse vili6cation.
This is a mans fight. But behind Mr..
Estee are Millionaire Burns, Millionaire
Crocker and Millionaire Huntington.
The people have already witnessed the
blighting effect of the millionaire in
politics, as typified by Messrs. Crocker
and Huntington; and of bosssm in poll
itics. as typifed by Burns, whose ab-
senteeism from 1882 to 1884 was such a
source of annoyance to the accountants
who were trying to balance the books
in the secretary OF states office. The
merhods of Boss Burns would paralyze
any party with which that willy and
sstute politician might see fit to affili-
ate. Estee is good man, but the weight
OF Burns is too big handicap for him.

and our governmental expenditures
were reduced $50. 100000. And this was
all done in the face OF determined Re-
publican opposition and with the mar
row Democratic majority OF one in the
senate.
Mr.. Reed is much concerned lest. at
another session of congress, coal and
iron ore shall go upon the free list and
the sugar trusts ''differential" be wiped
out. He wants to save all the ''protec-
ton" that has not already "gone by the
board" but he dare not proclaim that
the Mckinley monstrosity shall ever be
re-enactsd.
In conclusion, 'ths Msphisto from
Maine" says that personally Democrats
are almost as good as Republicans, il
not quite, but that Republicans as a
party carry out their platform promises
and Democrats do not. This is poor
twaddle for presidential candidate, and
hardly rises above the observations of
W. W. Bowers OF Tia Juana.

How an Unsuspecting LandIady Aidod

An incident which illustrates the
methods which professional burglars
reaort to, and which cost one man about
800, though it was never reported to.
the police station, came to light yester-
day.
A young travelling man who rooms at
one of the fashionable uptown houses,
recently went out on q trip which kept
him away from the city for two or three
weeks. During his absence two stran-
gers called at the house to look at rooms,
and would be satisfied with nothing but
a suite OF three rooms. The landlady
showed them all over the house, in the
hope OF accommodating them, and took
them through the travelling mans apart
ments. They left and nothing more was
thought Of it until the young fellow re-
turned few days later. Then the real
purpose OF the visit of the two strangers
came out. Not vestigc of any OF the
travelling mans belongings remained IN
his rooms. The strangers had returned
and helped themselves to an overcoat, Q
lot of silk underwear some jewelry and
two yslises to hold the swag.

FRAUDULENT REGISTRATION.

The Examiner of the 18th inst.
charges that Boss Burns, the political
bunco steerer who is managing Mr..
Estee's campaign. has stuffed the great
register of Alameda county to the ex-
tent OF several thousand fraudulent
names. The truth of the charge is
abundantly proven by list of over one
thousand persons who do not live at
the addresses given in the great register.
The matter has been handed over to
the grand jury and it is not all improb.
able that Burns may be in jail or on
his way to Canada before the day of
election. His present political partner,
Buckley, can give him some valuable
pointers for the trip.
Buckley is no doubt assisting in the
fraud, ss he has an old score to settle
with Budd and he has the reputation
OF being a very good hater.

and the spindles going all day. our
wool-growers will have homo market
for their products and be free from the
tyranny Of overlsnd railway tariffs.
The idea that the tariff on wool had
anything to do with its price. has
always been an absurditv. In 1871 Ore
gon wool sold from 81 to "a cents, ac-
cording to quality. In the following
winter. congress passed the Morrill,
tariff which raised the duty on wool
over one-fifth; and yet, in the summer
OF 1872 the best Oregon wool had de-
clined to 20 cents. with II to IS for the
inferior grades. The same was true of
California grown woods, which dropped
from % to 16 cents inside OF one year.
It is the insxorable law of supply and
demand which regulates the price of
wool In America-snd everywhere else.

was "the greatest blunder committed by

POLITICAL CLIPPINGS.
Hon. w. II. Afford.

No better campaign speech was ever
heard in Riverside than that delivered
last evening by Hon. W. Fl. Afford,
Democratic nominee for congress- from
this district. Mr.. Afford. like Mr.. Budd,
has way of taking his hearers by the
hand, looking them in the eye and talk
ing to them with sincerity that is i'm
possible to doubt.
Mr.. Afford is q young man of fine
presence. His effort last evening
showed that he is q born orator, also.
His speech was largely devoted to q
clear-cut, logical argument in support
Of the Democratic position on national
and state issues. A more convincing
presentation of facts WAS never made,
and at times, too. the speaker rose to
flights of eloquence which fairly cap.
tivsted the audience.
The Enterprise would like TO see the
people of the Seventh district send this
bright, vigorous, brainy young man to
congress for a term-not merely because
he is Democrat, but because no one
who comes in contact with
him can doubt that he has the
ability and energy to serve the
district; because, too, he will bring en-
thusiasm into that service. 1t is true.
enthusiasm is 1omewhat in disfavor in
these days. The average candidate is
properly supposed to be too icily pro.
found to possess any such quality, and
the political hack, such as many men
who have served in congress become
has long since lost enthusiasm, if in
deed he ever had it. And yet little
enthusiasm, such ss goes with young
blood, would be very desirable change
for this diatrct in it's representation in
congress. Mr. Afford. however. is not a
tyro in legislative affairs. He has
brilliant record in the assembly
of this state, where he rendered a very
great service to the people of this and
other counties by introducing con-
stitutional amendment exempting from
taxation nom bearing vines. fruit and
mus trees. That amendment will be
voted upon next month.
1t is to be greatly boped that Mr.. AL
ford will make as thorough canvass as
possible up TO the day OF election. He
will win votes wherever he goes. He
has gained some in Riverside by his
brief visit and speech of last evening. -
