COMMANDER BOOTH.
Ballington Booth is being severely
condemned for his rebellion against his
father i'm the Salvation army. 1t Is
really rebellion. for the commander has
seen various misstatements put into
circulation concerning his father and
has not taken the trouble to correct
them. To begin with. it is a regular
thing in the Salvation army to make
transfers of commanders from one
country to another. and the present
transfer of Ballington Booth to an
other country has long been on the
cards. In the next place Ballington
Booth is not quite so popular with the
Salvation army as he would have II
appear, and there is no rebellion in the
ranks either. on the contrary, the
Salvation army is too well trained for
such lack of discipline TO assert itself.
Transfers are always being made and
| always will be. The truth seems to be
| that Commander Booth has a soft
thing in the United States and will not
give it up. Moreover he has abandon
| ed the old back alley" campaign and
| taken the army into swell parlors.'

be almost an undignified thing to have

NOT A GOOD PLAN.

The proposal to run Republican
candidate for congress in the Second
district who should be closely iden-
tilted with the gold men, is not one
which appeals to the good judgment
of the rank and file of the party.
This movement, to which the Orego-
nian is lending more than tacit ap
proval, has its origin in Democratic
councils, and is being pushed to its
farthest extent by the enemies of
Republican principles.
1t is urged that the sound money
men of both parties will unite in the
support of such candidate, and in
this way his election can be secured.
However nice it may be. in theory,
the plan Will not have the promised
results. The candidacy of u second
Republican candidate will serve only
to divide the Republican vote, while
the Democrats, perceiving their op-
portuniLy, Will vote for their nomi-
nee and elect HIM. Such a move
would be poor politics and poor
business.
Mr.. Ellis was not the choice of
this paper for the nomination. His
views on the financial question do
not meet with the approval of a
large number of Republicans, but
we deem it vital at this time that a
Republican should be elected to
congress from this district; one who
will work and vote for tariff on
wool, thus protecting the industry,
which is the basis for the prosperity
of us all. To divide the Republi-
can vote and to create further dis
sensions in the party ranks, opens
the way to defeat and to the success
of the free silver, free trade candi-
date.
1t is to be hoped cool judgment
will prevent the nomination of an
other Republican candidate in the
Second district. If the Democrats
desire to nominate sound money
man from their own party, well and
good The conditions are then re
Versed and the interests of the wool
men will be served by the election
Of a Republican.
