THE MESSAGE TODAY.

In every city Of the United States to-
day Republicans and Democrats alike will
be anxlously waiting for the annual mes
sage Of President Cleveland which is TO
be delivered this afternoon. Speculation
is rife as to its nature and many are the
prophecies that have been induIged in re-
garding the several matters which OF ne
cessity must be touched on. The presi-
dent. like all presidents hae done before
him. keeps the text Of this document to
himself before It's formal presentation to
congress, and Mr.. Cleveland has guarded
the subject matter Of the present address
with the greatest care. for it is the last
that he will ever deliver to the American
people, and he knows It.
1t is not altogether improbable that the
president may seek to resuscltate himself
in public estimation by patriotic utter
ances regarding foreign affairs in mis-
forthcoming message. Like other men OF
towering vanity. he is at bottom intensely
hungry for public applause. Processing

losing for effect and making phrases 70
capture the multitude For once this
weakness Of character may be heartily
approved II It tempts the president to give
expression. in some one message before
his term expires TO genuine American
feeling. His friends have been predicting
for aome time that he would astonIsh the
country and completely revoIutionIze pub
lie opinion about himself by a new foreign
policy. and we sincerely hope they may
be right. The people win not care much
what the rest Of his message contains II
they can hear once again an American
voice from the White House.
The Astorlan will receive. through It's
Associated Press service. the fun text OF
this message today, and win Of course,
have the prior right Of using 1t. Should
1t contain any expressions Of momentous
import. they WIN be bulIetined in front Of
this Office as soon as the president has

ATRocrous TEACHING


The release Of Mr., Debs from jail was
made the occasion OF large labor demon
atrations in various parts Of the country
There were testimonials to the personal
popularity Of Mr.. Debs and indices Of the
influence Of the social doctrines OF which
Mr.. Debs Is at this time the most con.
spicuous exponent
With much that was said at these vari-
Gus gatherings every friend OF the people
must be In full sympathy. There must
be occasion, II not ample excuse. for the
mighty uprising Of labor. and the plea
which Is made for its rights. We regret
exceedlngly that such movement should
be hamrerod BY unwlse leadership. or by
eiasorlcal excesses. which must ropeI the
shoughsful seareher after truth. Yet
such seems to be the fate Of nearly every
forward movement
AT one Of these meetings John =. Tobln
national president Of the American Boot
and Shoe Workers Union. declared that
labor and capitalists could never harmo-

form one great political party. that would

The Washington Pilot Commissioners
thtre seems to be justice in their state
ments, that their position with regard to
the plotting business at the mouth OF the
river has been grossly misrepresented, and
that private individuals, for private ends,
haze been circulating statements about
their conduct which. to put 1t mildly, are
not facts. The Washington mm.ssion-
ers. since their appointment, have only
granted four branches. and these to men
whose competency nobody can call into
question. The commissioners state that
they are aware the schooner Loyal is a
little under the correct tonnage as laid
down by the laws OF Washington, but
they consider that until the government
can afford a better and bigger vessel, II
would bo injurlng the commercial inter-
ests Of the Columbia river unnecessarily
to order the Loyal Off. In addition, they
point QUE that the San Jose herself is
under the legal tonnage required in this
state. Captain Spencer. representing the
Washington commission, visited the AS
torian office yesterday and asked that. in
the interests Of fair play. the true stand
ing Of that body should be Investigated
by the papers of this city. on behalf of
his brother commissioners. he states that
they are formed to guard and extend tho
commercial interests OF the Columbia as
much as possible, and that they are now.
and always have been. willing to work
with the Oregon commissioners for the
accomplishment of that object.

spoIL1No A ROMANCE.
The True Story OF Hold the Fort" and
It's Origin.

Nearly every person has read the story
OF how the well-known song, Hold the
Fort for I Am Coming" came to be writ
ten, and upon what incidents It was
founded. But now comes a person who
is IN position 10 know the facts, and he
says that these stories are all fakes, pure
and simple. The story has been publish
ed, and It even appears in some Of the
song books as footnote. that the sub
stance Of the language contained In this
famous song was used in signal communi-
cation between Generals Corse and Sher-
man during the battle OF Allatoona Pass.
There is no doubt that the song was in
spired by the accounts OF that battle as
published but the denial that is now
made contradlcts these circumstances,
and proves conclusively that they never
could have taken place. According to
these stories, Charles and ]. w. McKen-
zle. who resided for a number OF years
at Hampton, Iowa, were members of the
signal corps attached TO General Corse's
army, and it was the former who waved
the famous signals to General Sherman.
These brothers died a number Of years
ago from consumption, and after their
death II was extensively published that
]. W. Mckenzie. who was judge OF the
district court at the time of his death,
was In command OF the signal station,
and that during the thickest OF the fight
was called upon to detail a pers7n to|
signal General Sherman on Kenesaw
Mountain, a number Of miles di tant.
Fearing that he would be considered par
tlal. he detailed his own brother for this
dangerous task. The legend of the battle
is that Mr. Mckenzie stepped upon an ex-
posed portion OF the fort and slgnaled
Sherman. from whom he received The
answer. Hold the fort, for am comirg
This version Of the part the signal corps
and the Mckenzie Brothers played in the
battle has passed into story and song, and
is almost as familiar to the people as
barbara Fritchle," or "Sheridans RIDE "
But now comes Captain John Q. Ad-
ans, OF the United States army, who Is
conducting a recruiting station at Des
Moines, and says there is absolutely MOTH
ing to these stories.
Amy one" says Captain Adams, who
knows anything about the signal service
or the conditions that exist during such
a vigorous assault as was made upon
General Corse's army at Allatoona would
know that there would be no opportunity
to transmit any communications, much
less would there be any language used as
Is given In the song and stories related
of this battle. The trees and eminences
around the fort were filed with sharp
shooters, and the exposure of a person
meant instant death. After the third as
sault the enemy retired considerable dis
tance. and Captain Adams directed one
OF the McKenzies to Signal Kenesaw
Mountain that they still held the fort |
This was the only message sent upon |
which the song and the language could |
have been based

The orogonian seems to think that the
Large Republican majority in congress
win quickly decide The fate Of the con-
tested seats in that body. Tho Ore
gonian Is wrong There win be an un-
ususl number Of contests over seats in
the house OF representatives this winter.
Il is unfortunate that in 50 many cases
there should be doubt or at least
dispute about the lawful choice Of the
people: but It would be much more dis
creditable II any other consideration than
a desire to do exact justice should lnnu-
ence the decision Of the house. The Re-
publican majority in that body Is so large
as to remove all temptation to an arbi-
trary exercise OF lower. and there is no
reason to fear that passion and prejudice
may affect the result Of any contest. as
there might be II the parliamentary forces
were closely matched. But perhaps there
is some danger that an opposite tendency
may be manifested. For purposes Of
legislation an overwhelming ascendancy
is not infrequently embarrassing and in
furious to the political party possessing
IT, and It would not be strange II Repgb-
lican members OF the house should regret
ON some accounts that they are in SO
large a majority But they have no ex-
cuse for being Indifferent to the rights of
any constituency or the claims Of any
contestant. Every congressional district
is as fully entitled to be represented by
the man Of its legal choice as II the pas
sage OF law depended upon his vote,
and the majority whose constitutional
prerogative is to determine the qualifica-
tions OF members are under as solemn an
obligation TO concede nothing for the sake
of avoiding responsibility or exhibiting an
amiable temper as they would be under
other circumstances to reject the chance
Of wrestling an unfair advantage from
their adversaries. OF course, this is an
elementary truth. but IT has not always
seemed to be universally recognized
Some careless or INSCRIPTIONS professors
Of morality are generally found willing
to advise a course which is not perfectly
Straightforward, and to applaud coward
ice or indirection when It wears the dis
guise OF virtue. There is another obliga-
ton in the matter Of contested seats in
congress. and that is to put those to
whom they rightfully belong in possession
of them as promptly as possible. The
practice of keeping contest open until
the last hours of session or a congress,
with the effect and sometimes with the
obvious purpose of promoting the pc
cuniary advantage of the defeated candi-
date, and with the inevitable consequence
Of increasing public expenditures. is dis
creditable and essentially unjust
