do otherwise than oppose him for pub
lie Office. As a citizen, no Eever, we
have respect for Mr.. Dolph and conf
dence in his honor and his manhood,
his integrity and his ability"
There are certain persons in the
United States who appear to think all
others who believe IN different politi-
cal doctrines than themselves are en-
tirely wrong, and enemies to free gov
ernment. The editor of the East Or
egonian is one of these. According to
his opinion Mr.. Dolph was never "6t
to represent the people," and yet for
the twelve years he has been in the
senate no man ever did as much for
the benefit of the producers and citi-
Gems of the state. But if one were to
produce facts and figures to prove this
the East Oregonian would not be con-
vlnced, for it has arrogated to itself all
the arguments that may be produced
pro and con, and any other reasoning
would be fallacious from its stand
point.
1t further says that Mr.. Dolph be-
Iieves in a master and slave class,
and yet he is man Of ability and in
tegrity and good citizen. This state
ment carries with it it's own contradic-
ton. No man who believes in slave
and master class can be good citi-
zen of a republic, and should not be
allowed 20 exercise the right of suffrage.
Such man cannot be good subject
of any government except despotic
monarchy. and is Numerically op-
posed to the very spirit of free institu-
tions. Senator Dolph Is as far from
believing in any such medieval
superstitution as the editor of the East
Oregostian, and has as an exalted opia
ion of human freedom. But he does not
believe in the single-tax notion and
other wild theories advocated by Pop
ul,sts and anarchists, and is IN favor
of the established systems of business,
society and government. This is suh
oient in the opinion of the East Ore
gonian to constitute him a plutocrat
and believer in master and slave. If
q census were taken these "plutocrats"
would be largely in tho majority,
and they would be found to be
the staunch friends Of individual
liberty and the supremacy of law
and order. But if the populists and
anarchists were given free reins what
chaotic confusion would take place,
and how soon the country would drift
into the most despotic tyranny.

man GearY's Nicaragua canal bill has
died is something more than mere seem.
Ing. The measure through which the
Pacific coast hoped go much has been
hopeiesslY shelved.
Representative Geary is, perhaps, more
disappointed than any other member of
the house, at the failure of bis pet scheme
to become law. He has devoted more
attention to it than to almost anything
else during bis last two years ia congress.
and was confident at the beginning of
this session that the 4th of next March
would see 1t enacted into law.
He says: 1.-THE present house bill was
given more study than any other meas-
ure of this sort that has ever been intro
duced in congress. The faults and
loopholes which had crept into the
senate bill were all corrected, and there
was absolutely no chance for jobbery. 1t
was a clean, honest measure. I can only
attribute its failure to pass to one thing.
The present company was not given q
large bonur for concessions which they
demanded, and preferred 20 take their
chances in another congress. They have
had a strong lobby here who have done
effective work against US. principally
among the delegations already prejudiced
against any sort of q canal across Centra.

The chairman Of the commerce com
mittee, Representative Wise. of Virginia,
while be has been streng advocate of
the canal, has left the matter largely in
the hands of McCreary and Geary, be-
lieving that they could take care of it.
He Is satisfied thst they have made the
best fight possible under the circum.
stances, and does not attribute its failure
to any lack of perseverance on their part
He Is as much disappointed as they at
the failure of the matter to come up, as
he had prepared All elaborate speech
favoring the canal, and has had 1t in bis
desk for months waiting for the bill to
come up.

NOT ENDORSED.

If the actions of the boilers during
this session of the legislature are en-
dorsed by the people of Oregon, in fu-
ture it may be considered that a poll
tician's honor is pinned to bis coat
sleeve, and that he can rid himself of 1t
at pleasure. During the campaign
last summer Mr.. Dolph's name was
prominently mentioned as the choice
of the Rspu blicans, and it was gener-
ally conceded by all parties if the
ticket were successful he would sue
ceed himself. The state was carried by
10000 majority, and at The convening
Of tine legislature he was nominated
by the caucus of Republicans. In
separate session next day he received
majority of the votes cast, and this
!. was considered paramount to an cleo
tion. When the joint convention was
called Dolph received A votes. it re-
quiring As to elect, Scott of Linn be-
ing absent. During the 45 ballots
cast, including this afternoon, he has
never received less than 81, clear
majority of the Republican members.
Numerous petitions from prominent
Republicans In different portions of
the state have been sent to the bolt
ing members, urging them to support
the caucus nominee, and these have
been unheeded. This Is the history
of the senatorial contest, and it is q
record of the blackest perfdy that
was ever enacted in this or any other
state. Mems pl,ghted honor, the bind
ing obligation of q caucus, and the de-
sires of constituencies have all been
trampled under feet by reckless and
peryerse minority. Important leeis-
lation which the Republican party was
pledged to enact has been neglected.
and this session has become q
subject of ridioule and derision be-
cause q few men. supported only by
the free-silver Republican, Populists
and Democratic press, have refused to
carry out ths wishes Of the people and
: act for the best interests of the state,
nation and psrty. In June last Orc
son was fully 10000 Republican; but
nearly every hope of party success in
the future have been wrecked and
ruined by the policy pursued by the
perverse and obtuseiy obstinate bolters.
The legislature will adjourn tonight,
and very likely without eleoting SEN
ator. Everything that Is LAID to the
charge of this biennial session of the
Oregon legislature must be borne BY
the factious minority, and when these
members return to their homes they
should be made to know that their
treachery is fully understood. If any
of them ever come again before the
people for political favors their action
in the senatorial contest in 1895 will
be as indelible mark upon theil po-
litical future as the Almighty ever
placed upon Gain for numbering his
brother. Tbis will be the Banquo's
ghost that will not down at their bid
ding, and will haunt them at every
convention of the party hereafter.

Farther Particulars.

NEW YORK, Feb. 25 Cipher DIS
patches received here By members OF the
Cuban revolutionary party, to whom the
date set for the uprising has been known
since February 8, told that the revolution
had been begun.
Jose Marti, twice banished from Cuba
because of his hate of Spanish DONNA
ton, and General Maxine Gomez, who
commanded the eastern wing of Cuban
rebels in the revolution of 1868, left New
York two weeks ago for Vera Cruz, and
news received from Cuba Last night tells
that they have landed, and their arrival
was to be the signal for an uprising.
II was here in New York that the rev
olution was planned and 1t was from here
that the order was sent which lighted
the fire of civil war in Cuba. Cuban
leaders here are in league with the revo-
Iutionists of the islands and with sympa-
thizers In the United States, Mexico and
South America republics, and have been
long preparing for the event.
The insurgent forces In Mstanzss, near
Ybarra, where one wing of the patrio.
party raised It's standard, are under the
command of Msjor. General Jnlio San
gully. The point mentioned Is about 86
miles east of HaYana, on the west end OF
the island.
The scene of the other uprising men
toned In the Havana dispatches, Guam
tanamo, is on the east end of the island,
and the fact that tbess widely separated
places sre given prominence is accepted
by Cubsps in New York to mean thar the
uprising has extended throughout the
island, and that the Spanish authorities
are attempting to bellttle its extent.
The revolutionary forces in the eastern
section of the island, which includes
Guantanamo, are commanded by Brigs-
der. General Guillermo Moncada. It. ls
estimated that be can raise 1000 men =.
The Spanish forces number about
$4,000 regulars, of which about 5000 are
stationed at Santiago de Cuba, and are
within reach of the rebels at
Guantanamo. The bulk of the remaining
Spanish troops are stationed at Havana,
and are 60 near the scene of General
Saneuily's starting point, Ybarra.
Men who are high IN the councils of
the Cuban party, and who we're
instructed with the date set for the up
rising say that the arms which have been
smuggled into Cubs during the last few
weeks, and which were landed near
Matanzas and other points, and those
which are already in the possession of the
patriot forces of General Gomez, would
be able to arm about 5000 men at once
and many more within short tsme.

NO FREE SILVER.

There has been a fruitless attempt
to induce Senator Mcbride to say
something in iavor of the unlimited
coinage of silver; but the senator is a
Repu blican, and he knows the party
has never given any countenance to
the many fsllacious theories of finance
that spring into life every few years
and have a short and une entful ex-
lstence. The greenback craze attracted
some adherents in 1873, but it passed
out of notice without making the least
change in the monetary system in op-
GRAFTON. No heed was paid to 1t by
Republicans other than to show up its
fallacies. After the hard times which
began in 1892 a craze for free silver took
possession of certain portions of the
country, and has continued ever since,
The Republican party, with its sound
financial record during the epoch when
it required statesmansbip of the high
est order to manage national affairs,
cannot afford to pay only sufficient at
tention to this to show its vagaries to
the people. The Republican party has
always been in favor of sound and
safe currency, and this cannot be
maintained by free silver. Mr.. Nc
Bride is thoroughly Republican, and
this is sufficient answer to silverites
who imagine they won a victory in
his election at Salem last Saturday
hight. They may cross examine him
III they please on this question. When
lis vote is called for in the senate it
will be cast in the same direction that

THE VALUE OF HONESTY.

The cynical prOyerb "The fools are los
ing money and the rOgues are winning
it, is far more hOnOred in the breach
than in the observance. 1t is glitter
ing and delusive generality. The poorest
class of people in the world is made up
of rOgues. To this class belong the beg
gars and the habitual criminals. There
are exceptions to all general rules, but
perhaps there are fewer exceptions to the
general rule which declares honesty to be
the best policy than to any other which
bears upon the secular affairs of men.
As matter Of fact, more than ten times,
probably more than hundred times,
greater amount of business is conducted
upon basis of honor alone than upon
strictly defined legal security. The man
who is known to be honorable secures
credit easily; he, who is known to have
made one wilful deviation, finds 1t diff
cult to borrow. And when such one
begins to roll down hill, many push is
given to accelerate his descent. Chicago
