DenocI acy.

Hon. John l. wilson at recent ban
quet given by prominent democrats at
Philadelphia, said:
Free government, in the sense in
which it has been understood and taught
to US by our democratic fathers, is a very
modern thing. I: means government
which is the servant OF the people with
out distinction OF class, or OF any legal or
artificial divisions. AZ long IS there
lives in this country a man vs. DO is forced
by Las to labor unpaid for the benefit OF
any other man, there :s in this country
slave whose fet;ers we are bound TO de-
stroy. AS long as there lives in this
country man who is permitted by law
to exact such labor i.om any other man,
there is in this country maste. whose
odious privilege we are bound to wIest
from his grasp.
Moderate and just taxation is indeed
the highest achievement OF legislative
action. II we have failed as party, in
our recent effort 10 reach this high
achievement. as We mus. admit that ws
have failed, let us searchingiy andta She
spirit OF the most honest inquiry. ascer-I
tain how far that failure has been due TO
in oar own efforts or in our
own ranks, and how lar it ~as due to
the inttenchment OF privilege so strong

could hope fully 10 d.slodg, it. lam
one OF those who believe that our partial
failure has been due TO both causes, and,
SO believing, find in our present re-
verses not cause for desponoency or for
party Reorganization and aratliy, but
higher call to duty, 10 more advanced
party policy, and more tteadfast and
loyal adherence to it.
"The great trusts, which have taken
congress by the throatsnd defied oar ef-
forts 10 release the people from their tax
ations, have at least taught us the les
con, grievous but sanitary, that either
they or the Democratic party must rule
in this country, and that either they Or
the Democratic party must disappear
from the country That great party will
cot disappear. Jts control of the house

SATURDAY NIGHT.

The Senatorial muddle has continued
during this week with uaabated dnllness,
muddle from beginning to end, upside
and downside, terrific split on The sil-
yer question. II Was seen that Dolph
could not be elected, ana then the fun
was TO observe the hunt for some one in
his place. Tongue killed himself with
his tongue and Fulton read his own
death service. Williams and Simon are
simply jumping from the frying pan in.
to the fire; and Lowell is young fellow
up in Eastern Oregon who whatever his
sonal character does not yet possOss tho
calibre for U. S. Senator. Shades OF
Thomas Benton, what muddle.
Congress has had as terrific a tims
over the silver question, ending in moth
ing on account OF this great question
that is in the IN .dst of both OF the old
parties.
There is a rag OF sunshine in the de-
feat so far OF all the funding bills intro
duced in the interes. OF the Pacific rail-
roads, whose owners have made millions
NJ the governments expense.
Locally this has been quiet week sc
far as business ia concerned. Socially,
though, there hAl been considerable
stir. The amateurs prevail and local
entertainments are very common thing
but they are all cheap, only small sum;
are asked from individuals.
The week has brought up ior COM
Inemora,ion the life OF man, who, more
than any other American, has impressed
his character upon the institutions o
our government. These are times wher
We need TO look up and seek higher
individual standing, free from dishonesty
and rascality with which the disp atcher
are so heavily loaded.

In passing along the street ths editor
OF the DEMOCRAT heard a man remark
that the two rottenest state Legislatures
In the United States are those of Cali
fornia and Oregon. 1t is probable that
good many legislatures have been
pretty bad. The people generally think
so anyway. oregon's present Legislature
will 60 down on record with as few
friends as a legislature ever had in this

The Salem Statesman even admits the
incapacity OF republicans to run State
Legislature in Oregon. 1t says:
II the house OF representatives and the

fad all the necessary legislation in the
hands OF the governor, and beth bodies
ready for adjournment sine die.
