The sold Man" off Keystone Miner
very pertinently and truthfully describes
the present political situation in his
issue of last week. He says; "The
time has come when all the dissatisfied
elements Of society in the United States
are banded together. each class with an
object of its own, and are making an
effort to secure control of the govern
ment under the leadership of w. j..
Bryan. The nucleus Of the combina.
ton is large body of honest citizens
who are conscientious in their belief
that all the woes that have fallen on the
people are due to the fact that silver is
not admitted free to the mints; who
forget that from 1880 to 1892 the coun-
try prospered as no nation ever pros
pered, in spite of the fact that silver
was not admitted to the mint, but that
during that period there was thousand
times more Of the metal coined into
dollars than in all our previous history,
and that the process is still being con-.
'tinued. A large class who have joineG
the movement, and many of whom as
sumo to be leaders, national, state and
local, are disappointed and soured office
seekers who are in the movement for
revenue. This class would abolish the
civil service examinations and reduce
the public service to the spoils system.
Another large contingent are the class
who, in case ofa strike, or labor trouble,
resort to mob law and violence; who
revel i'll plunder and the destruction of
property; who believe, and with reason,
that with Bryan at the head of the
government and such men as Altgeld at
the head of the state governments. there
would be no interference with their
plans to convert every city in the land
into hell Of destruction, violence and |
robbery. They have direct promise
OF this in the Chicago platform. Add |
to these every believer in government
nat money, avery advocate of wildcat |
banks, every socialist, the b-metallc |
league, and the Populist party, and they
combination that would dis
solve into its original elements imme-
diately on coming into power and in the
factional fights would reduce the gov
ernment to bankruptcy in two years.
But they will never come into power
the plain people whom the leaders of
the combination are endeavorlng to
cajole are not with them"

No man can outdo nae in opposition to
monopolies; but the manufacturers of
this country should not be thus charac-

Damaging a Reputation.

The reputation, originally good,
of many proprietary articles, is in
some instances damaged by that
most egregious of all business fol-
lies, hamboYant advertising. The
public soon becomes disgusted with
an article concerning which state
ments are made with the evident
design of hoodwinking it, by reck-
less claims of impossible merits. 1t
has ever been the aim of the pro-
prietors of HoStetter's Stomach
Bitters to make the published alle-
cations relating to it to conform
with reason and proven facts. That
they have succeeded in this lauda-
BILE design is shown by the fact that
their remedy is not only popular,
but widely respected. Experience
without the aid of bom6ast, has
demonstrated that it is tonic of
the first order, a safe and thor
ough remedy for and preventive of
malarial diseases, a salutary anti
spasmodic and remedy for debility,
and a capital corrective of disorder
of the stomach, liver and bowels,

BE NOT DECEIVED.

Judge Northrup, now that he is a
candidate for congress, and is desirous
of securing the undivided endorsement
of the votes of Eastern Oregon, poses
as staunch friend of an open river
from Lewiston to the sea. In fact he
at the present time, and makes an
''open river" one of the planks of his
platform. It is very natural that
Judge Northup should wax eloquent
on this subject now, for it has dawned
upon him that the people of the In
land Empire are really in earnest
about wanting the Columbia river
opened to navigation, and are de-
termined to make it one of the issues
on election day; but it is unaccount-
able that he should never have dis
covered this until he came up as cam
didate for congressional honors. He
endeavors too to impress on the minds
of the voters that Portland Is fully as
stauncE friend of an open river as
he, and the inference he would have
drawn is, that he being Portland
man, nominated and made candidate
at the behest Of Pcrtland's business
men. must of necessity, if elected, in
order to serve the creators of his con-
gressional aspirations, break open the
barriers to navigation at the Cascades
and Dalles.
Every voter in the Inland Empire
no doubt enjoys listening to such
declarations from one who would re-
present them in congress, for the
opening of the Columbia river is to
them serious matter, but when they
look back over past events they are
somewhat skeptical as to the sincerity
of Portland and her pet candidate re-
garding the question of an open river,
and they only have to look back few
months to discover where Portland
neglected to lend her aid at time
when she could have rendered valu.
able assistance. Last March The
Dalles Commercial Club and the AS
toria Board OF Trade invited Portland
to act with them in securing the open
ing of the canal and locks at the Cas-
cades, but Portland ignored the in
vitation. Even Judge Northup, who
is now such an enthusiast on the ques-
tioh Of an open river, never either by
word or deed offered any assistance.
Judging his present convictions by
his past deeds, the people of the In
land Empire will not be deceived by
this recent convert to their cause.
Two months ago, Judge Northup,
through the official position he holds,
could have rendered valuable assis-
tance to the cause which he now asks |
to be entrusted in his hands, but he |
neglected them, and we cannot but in
fer that he would prove equally
neglectful If sent to congress.

REBUKE EXTRA ATAGANCE.

If the voters of Oregon are satisfied
with and approve the acts of the last
two sessions of the legislature, they
have but to express their approval by
supporting the nominees for the
Legislature of the party that held the
majority in those sessions. Laying
all prejudice aside, the republican
party alone can be held responsible
for what was done in the sessions OF
1893 and 1895. That party held a
working majority in both houses in
1893, and an overwhelming majority in
1895. Every act therefore, whether
good or bad, was the act of the party
to which the majority belonged.
1t may be argued that the nomi-
nees of the republican party for legis-
lative offices, are not the ones who
occupied seats in the last two sessions;
that the party has repudiated the in
dividual members acts by turning
them down. The same thing was ar
gued prior to the election of 1894.
New men were nominated and elected
to the legislature, but they were.under
The influence of the same old crowd.
and when they assembled at Salem
could not, or at least did not, break
away from the influence of the treasury
looters. They surrendered everything
to the taxeaters the same as did their
predecessors, and gave everything
over to the professional politicians and
bosses.
Should the people Of Oregon endorse
such corruption by again entrusting
the management of state affairs to the
party that in the past betrayed them?
Will they say by their votes that they
endorse the employment of 160 clerks
in the legislature, that they approve
OF creating and maintaining useless
and expensive commissions at the ex-
pense of the people; that they favor
the APPROPRIATION of public moneys to
charitable institutions? If they will
then let them go to the polls on June
l and support the nominees of the re-
republican party. for that party in
legislature assembled has forced these
things upon the people.
But if the voters of Oregon do
not approve OF these fagrancies, let
them walk up to the polls on June
and, like free men, lay aside party
refuse to allow the party
lash applied to their backs, and rebuke
the party that, by its extravagances
IN the last legislature made $40
mills state tax necessary. Let them.
BY their votes, denounce the jebbery of
,he last two sessions of the Oregon
legislature.
