A Contrast.

Mr.. Cation : dissertation on National
matters, at the theater last evening,
coming on the heels OF Wilson's
speech the night before, afforded a
splendid opportunity for drawing a
comparison between the relative abil-
ity of the two men, and candor conf
pcls even Mr.. C.'s enemies to admit
that the result is in his favor. Mr.
Wilson, in the role Of calamity bowler,
is not a success. He leaves too many
evidences OF sophistry and special
pleading, and too few Of sincerity and
truth. He carries with him the inn
preston that he is acting part, and is
not honestin his convictions. He shows
that he is telling part OF the truth and
concealing much that should be told,
if he would be honest. For instance,
he has grouped together a number OF
reductions in the tariff schedule which
appear to be on articles that are not
recognized as necessaries OF life, but
he refrains from quoting the thousands
of reductions that do cheaper the cost
of the poor mans table. He rolled
sugar as sweet teat under his tongue,
but failed to give the present price of
sugar with that OF year ago, as a re-
suit of Democratic perfdy." He
quoted other figures greatly at vari-
ance with those used in the custom
houses, and he drew narrowing pic
tnre OF the results of free lumber and
coal which has not and will not be
outlined on the historic page.
There is difference likewise in the
personnel of the men, decidedly in favor
of the plain, honest citizen as against
the airy, egotistical professional Office
seeker, whose bonnet is now alive with
swarm of Senatorial bees. 1t is a
question for the voter to determine
simply OF which gentleman can best
represent our wants at the National
Capital. If the Republican claims
made so persistently in times past,
is of any force, there should be no hes
itation. 1t was claimed by them that
a Representative to have the least in
huence in the National counsels should
be in harmony with Congress and the
Administration. That is as true now
as it was then, and Mr.. Cation will 90
to Washington with all that support
in every branch of the public service.
Washington wants Representatives. in
the National councils who will attend
to the popular wants, and not make
themselves ridiculous by personal ex-
centricities which afford opportunity
for newspaper criticism.

Utterances from Mt. Olympus.

The Olympian has become quite
dogmatic in its uttersnces of late, as
witness, in the editorial column of the
oath inst. Here are samples:
"Then was g.
Charity begins at home,'
80 Now is its own trumpet"
This campaign is Its own orator.
Protection Is enlightened selfshness.'
'"When hit by the storm man discovers the
difference between bug in his cup and tho
storm"
1t is related that, in the olden times.
when the Olympian oracles uttered
their prophetic warnings. they were
taken to cave from which noxious
gases emanated. Upon being sub
jected to these exhalations, the oracles
became delirious, and from their dis
jointed utterances were formulated
the Greek aphorisms which, after
being patched up, passed as inspir-
ational wisdom.
1t is quite evident that it would
require more than the acumen of the
Delphian translator to make sense of
this modern oracles rawlings. Prob.
badly the "gas" which befogs his
intellect is not up to the old-time
standard.

If this is true (and who doubts it) Geo.
B. Mason. candidate for auditor on the
Democratic ticket, is not only "well

and is, guaranteed to the electors OF

For notwithstanding the fact that the
publishers of the Enterprise were COM
mitted to the support of Mr.. Hopkins
for auditor before AR. Mason had been
mentioned for the place, he is enthusi-
astically supported by the people here
and will receive more handsome ma

II you vote for Geo. B. Mason for

CONGRESSMAN Wilson dwelt with
considerable emphasis in his speech at
the theater, on the taxation of the
poor mans table by the duty on
sugar; but he seemed oblivious of the
fact that the wholesale price of that
article is now half cent less than it
was under the Mckinley bill year
ago. Besides, you know, "the for
eigner pays the tax" on imports any
way. The logic of events knocks the

EDITOR OLYMPIAN:
l understand that a report is being
circulated in some parts of the county,
that the Board of County Commissioners
has RENTED the taxes assessed against
the Olympia hotel. Such a statement
is entirely false, as no order OF that kind
appears upon the record of the board,
and l want to say further that if any
such motion is introduced I will oppose
1t. There has been petition presented,
asking to have the taxes RENTED, but
have opposed it and it will not be passed
except against my vote.
G W. OSBORN.
Notwithstanding the assertion OF
Mr.. Osborn, the taxes, penalty and

were RENTED by the board, and the

effort has been made to mislead the
public is apparent from the fact that
the Commissioners proceedings show
that the matter was laid over to the

inference may be fairly be drawn that
it was star-chamber" meeting

least.
Mr.. Israel one OF the Commissioners
says that the order was made to can
eel the hotels indebtedness to the

the records show that he has per-
formed that very unusual and unjust
proceeding.
Why the Olympia hotel should be

SUGGESTIVE JoKEs.-The Republi.
can "orators" meet with "hard row
OF stumps" in their peregrinations
through the county. At Mosher &
McDonald's camp the other night, it
was arranged amid the loggers that
while a few of their number were
listening to their harrangues the
others were to show that the presence
of their guests was appreciated by
such symbolical expedients as circura-
stances might suggest. They accord
ingly changed the wheels on the
orators chariot, captured \ box Of
apples which they carried to check the
pangs of hunger and spirited away
their umbrellas which they had pro-
vided to keep off wind and rain. They
explain that the change of wheels was
symbolical. Placing the hind wheels
in front made the vehicle look as if it
was going up hill, sugge stion doubt
less of the laborious canvass being
made by the tenderfoot combine.
They took the apples because they are
said to be productive of collie, and the
symptoms OF some of the "statesmen"
indicated that they had had q surfeit
of that dangerous article of diet. The
umbrellas were indicative Of raj ny
day which the hosts thought did not

COUNTY COMMITTED
Good Results from Free Wool.

The Oregonian, realizing the in
creased activity Of wooden manufac-
ture, suggests the establishment of a
wool-scouring mill at Portland, and
gives figures which show that the
profit would be large in saving the
expense of transportation of dirt and
grease, which amounts to about 70
per cent. of the fleece. One conceded
condition for success, it is obvious,
is a demand for wool, and that has
been inaugurated presumably by the
abolition of the tariff duty. That, at
least, is the cause of all present ills,
from Republican standpoint, and it
follows that it should be accredited
with come of the blessings that are
beginning TO lift the clouds from the
horizon.
That journal, however attributes
renewed activity to close competition
which impels home producers to make
strenuous efforts to hold the market.
1t says, 1t looks as if we would have
to employ every resource to overcome
the disadvantage of free competition"
and one of these resources is " to illim.
mate the item of freight, so far as
is possible, upon the waste in raw
WOOL" If it has that effect, it will
perform an excellent service. 1t has
already, as admitted, aroused q spirit
of rivalry and completion, the best
promoters of thriving business era.
The Oregonian gives local reasons
why the institution OF q wool-scouring
at Portland, would be q great benefit.
The same conditions and reasons will
apply elsewhere. Itsays: Besides the
direct saving on freight charges, the
industry would mean the natural
benefit OF the presence Of the plant in
the community, employing men, dis
bursting wages and affording . cash
market for prompt realization to the
grower. 1t would mean a great deal
to Oregon if our raw wool, enormous
as its product is in the aggregate
were to De made up into finished wares
at home"
1t further says: "There are said te
be seven securing companies in San
Francisco, in which fortunes have
been made in securing Oregon wool
1t is also thought that if such con.
Germ could be started in Portland, il
would eventually make q wool market
here, and buyers from the East would
be represented here instead Of at the
inland towns, giving all growers the
benefit of central market and the
opportunity for al the benefits OF the
competition of an open market"
Now it seems to the casual reader
that it would have been far more in
genuous for the Oregonian to have &C
corded credit to the new policy, which
is productive of such desirable results
than to have accompanied these con
cessions with a wall against free wool

corporations! Isit impossible to make
the discovery that q system which
has made single individuals worth
fifty millions of dollars derived from

a protection of industry at a time when
our nation was comparatively weak
