a STRONG TICKET.

The ticket nominated by the repub-
lican party of Wasco county is gener-
ally considered strong one, composed
of representative citizens, men who,
by long residence in the county, and
by services rendered both as citizens
and partisans, have won sufficient fol-
lowing to entitle them to the honors
conferred upon them. Whether the
republican convention could or could
not have made wiser selections is not
our province to say. Some of the nomi-
nees are eminently qualified for the
positions to which they aspire, and if
elected will no doubt serve the people
to the best of their ability; but whether
these nominees will prove acceptable
to the voters of Wasco county remains
to be seen. There is an acknowledged
republican majority of from 200 to 300
in Wasco county. and if party lines are
closely drawn, the ticket nominated by
the republican convention last Satur
day will be successful on elertion day.
But happily the voters of Wasco
county are not so welded to party ties
that they will blindly support the nomi-
nees of their party when more compe-
tent men are placed in nomination by
an opposing party. The republican
party has undoubtedly done well in
naming ticket. but there are plenty
Of men in the county who are more
capable of serving the people as public
than those named last Satur-
lay, and if such are nominated by the
democrats on April 7th, they will be

IN a BAD BOX.

The threat of the Manufacturers
Club of Philadelphia, who recently had
q conference with the silver senator's,
that unless the St. Louis convention
declared for the free coinage of silver.
the manufacturers will withdraw their
financial support from the republican
party, and join with the silver men in
nominating an Independent ticket, is
one which the republicans as party
cannot afford TO heed; for no class
of men understand better than the re-
publican leaders .the power of the
manufacturers and what their contri-
buttons mean in q presidential cam
paign. Senator Tom Carter, of Mon
tana, the chairman of the republican
national committee, Is authority for
the statement that Mr.. Dolan, the pres
ident of the Manufacturers Club of
Philadelphia, and one OF the leaders of
the new combination between the
manufacturers and the free coinage
men. furnished more than.75 per cent
of the republican campaign fund in
1892. Mr.. Carter says that the bank

and private capitalists are poor con-
tributors to campaign funds. If one of
these gentlemen gives his check for

THE BEST PROTECTION.

The final tests on LOO tons of Penn
sylvania steel for Russian warships
are being made at the Indian Head
proving-station; 1u,000 tons of Penn
sylvania steel rails are being man
ufactured for the japanese govern
ment, and London cablegram an
nounces heavy purchases of Alabama
pig-iron for the English market.
These events occur under a tariff
which reduced the Mckinley rate on
pig-iron 40 per cent and on steel rails
4l.6 per cent. They show conclusively
that the Wilson, bill rate of 20 per
cent, against which the manufacturers
made such stubborn fight in the
senate, was great deal more proJec-
tion than they really had occasion for.
Indeed it is evident that what they
needed was not protection but enter
prise. They are showing under
lower tariff not only that they can take
away England's market in Japan and
invade the '.home market" of Russia,
but can actually sell Alabama iron in
the English market in competition
with English manufacturers, after pay
ing heavy freight charges by rail and
ocean. English ironmongers are al
ready declaring this threat of serious

PORTLAND POLITICS.

The republican primaries held in
Portland yesterday were disgrace to
the free Institutions of this country,
and the methods adopted were veri-
fication of the oft-repeated statement
that there is as much corruption in
Portland politics as there is in any
place On earth. The Oregonian made
this editorial comment, which is no
doubt justified, since both factions in
the party are capable of STOPPING to
anything to carry the day:
'Few of the republican citizens of
Portland had opportunity to vote.
They were crowded out by gangs of
hoboes, hired under the direction of
the able managers of the ring, and
protected by the police. But very
small number of even the few actual
citizens that we're favorable to the
ring got to vote; the imported and
hired rabble held possession, and the
police were at work necessarily SHOW
/ lg in gangJ at the head Of the line, so
as to be sure of every vote. On the
West size, north of Washington street,
not per cent of the known re-
ublican citizens voted. South of
the outrage was not SO
extreme, for want of imported and
hired material; but gangs that had
been put through under police protec-
tion in the northern wards were mar
shaled for like service in the southern,
and put through under police protec-
tion as fast as it could be accomplished.
Not one-third of the republican citi-
zens of Portland cast their ballots at |
the primaries yesterday, for the oppor-
tunity was denied them. On the East |
Side the work was of the same kind,
though varied somewhat, for it in

SLOWLY SrRANGLED.
Sickening Spectacle " itnesse.l at Havana
Executions.

HAVANA, March 31.-Never in mod
ern times has there been a more sick.
ening spectacle than that whi:h today
attended the public execution of the
five Cubans, condemned to death by
the garrote, ''as .murderers, violators
and incendiaries. The troops were
drawn up in hollow square and in the
middle were placed chair and post.
Rulse. the public executioner, had
deputized his assistants to conduct the
affair. The condemned men were
brought into the square to meet their
fate. One bad confessed his guilt and
affirmed the innocence of all the
others, who also protested they were
guiltless.
The first man took his seat in the
chair calmly, the iron collar was fixed
about his neck and the cap was drawn
over his face. The executioner under
took to apply the screw, but was so
excited that his hand slipped repeated
ly. The victim died by slow strangula-
ton, emitting the most distressing
cries.
The second execution was accom-
plished with even more distressing
awkwardness, the executioner being
on the verge of collapse.
The protests of the officers and
priests forced Ruise to undertake the
third execution. but he did little bet
ter than dis assistant had done. Ruise
then literally fled from his post, leav-
ing his assistants to put to de .th the
fifth unfortunate Cuban, who suffered
the same agonizing experiences as his
fellows.

These declarations are good: they
have the right kind Of ring about them,
and 8ould no doubt catch e unwary
voter, were it not that the further act
of the convention in nominating
Gurdane and Davis, both of whom
were members of the last legislature,
was so inconsistent with these demands
for economy.
Two years ago Messrs. Gurdane and
Davis were elected to the legislature
on just this kind of platform, as was
every other republican memberin that
body. " hat effect the declarations of
the platform had on the acts of these
men is best told by the records of the
last session. Nothing could be more
inconsistent for a party than to de-
nounce the official acts of members of
the last legislature. and then renomin-
ate men who served in that body.

work with deliberation and care and
effectiveness to raise money for their
party friends. The manufacturo rs
raise their money by assessment. A
committee of manufacturers will meet
and decide how much money ought to
be raised, and whether it be $4,000 or
81 200, 900, they will levy an assess
ment, and in due time transfer the
money to the campaign managers.
The republican party cannot afford
to kill the goose that laid the golden
egg" 1t cannot afford TO turn IL deaf
ear to Mr.. Dolan, when it is to him the
party looks for three-fourths of its
campaign fund. and unless some other
element can be found that will con-
tribute as literally for sound money
platform, it will very likely acquiess
in his demands. With such pressure
as this brought to bear the republican
party finds itself in decidedly bad
box. To ignore the demands OF the
manufacturers, it loses the financial
contributions it has always enjoyed,
and is forced to seek contributions
from unaccustomed sources or go short
handed, which is impossible in the
conducting of a republican campaign.
To concede to the manufacturers de-
mand, it deprives itself of some OF its
most prominent presidential candi-
dates, and will ALLEVIATE three-fourths
of the gold standard men in the party.
The only course open for the party
seems to placate all by declaring for
protection, and making a grand
s'straddle" in the money question.

joint resolution today. directing the
sending of an adequate naval force to
Cuba to put an end to the barbarities,
and to protect American citizens in
their treaty rights. The president is
instructed to notify Spain that the
United States will forcibly Intervene
unless murder and other outrages
cease.
The resolution went over.
Butler introduced a bill requiring
the acceptance OF current legal tender
funds in the payment of notes, bonds
or private obligations. The senator
explained the purpose of the measure
was to put a stop to gold notes, gold
mortgages, etc., which were being
wrung from the people, owing to the
financial distress. Both old parties,
said the senator, favored this plan in
their platforms. and this bill proposed
to make party promises good by law.
