SENATOR MITCHELL, of Ore
gon, the other day, on the floor
OF the senate, demonstrated to a
certainty that one of our troubles
requiring us to export such vast
quantities of gold grew out of the
fact that under the Wilson bill we
have been compelled to import
SIoo, 900, 900 worth of free wool
that would have gone to our own
producers of that article but for
the diplomatic policy of protect
ing foreign wool growers, instead
of our own. This, says repub-
lican exchange, is an object les
son for young Americans and
young republicans. New Or

THERE is a fable that run

THERE is fable that runs
something like this: A hare
called upon a lion and asked his
opinion as to the truth of the
rumor that the pig could frighten
the elephant by simply grunting.
The lion replied ''It is doubtless
true. We larger animals have a
pet aversion to some particular
animal of no significance. Even
/ am afraid of a mouse" "Thank
you," replied the hare, ''that ex-
plains why we hares so despise
the dogs" This fable is called
to mind by the attitude OF the
Salem Statesman. It is con-
stantly attempting to cast rehec-
tions upon Hermann's ability and
standing in congress. It pro-
fesses to believe that he is a weak
candidate; and the fable will ex-
plain why great, strong paper
like the Statesman goes i1,ttuo
Mysteries over the mere mention
Of The iiaine of such an uni1nport-
ant man as Hermann. owe
hares," in common with other
animals, have ''our'' peculiar
weaknesses.

MANY Eastern papers COM
ment very favorably about Ore
gon's new senator, Geo. w. Nc
Bride. The we'll known Wash
ington correspondent, Walter
Wellnan, in an article on the
financial question, quotes Mr..
Brice, Mr., Allison, and Speaker
Reed. Concerning a theory fol
the settlement of the money
question he says, II have since
heard it very ably elucidated by
Senator Mcbride, of Oregon,
one of the younger men in the
senate, but one who, by his
thoughtfulness and studiousness
has earned the respect and admi-
ration of his older colleagues.
Senator Mcbride is firm believ-
er in international bi1netalism as
the future monetary policy of the
world" Senator Mcbride Is
more of a student than an orator;
a worker, not ranter. Oregon
is very fortunate in her represent
tation at Washington.

DEMOCRATIC ADVICE DECLINED.

The republican party is not in
a mood to brook dictation from
democrats in matters relating to
platform or candidates. Several
democratic papers, including the
Roseburg Review, the Salem
Statesman and others, are very
free with their advice as to Ger
tain probable republican candi-
dates fitness for Office and run
ming strength. The democratic
candidates would seem to be much
more in need of grooming than
those of the G. o. p; but, doubt
less, these organs of the Tiger
realize the hopelessness of their
party's success, and being posses
ed of much of the spirit of Paul
Pry, they have put their noses
where they don't belong.
The Salem paper, it is true,
processes to be arepublican jour
nal. It has, however, nothing
but its profession to recommend
it to true republicans. It is not
In accord or touch with the lead
ers of the party, OF any consider
able number of republican voters.
1t IS edited by a southern demo-
cfat, and one of its proprietors is
a holdover pap sucker of the state
from Pennoyer's regime. With
remarkable effrontery this hybrid
sheet attempts to thrust itself into
the councils of republicanism
The party, however, is not in
desperate need of any such doubt
full advisors. Of course it is an
moving to have little dogs barking
at your heels, but it is not worth
while paying much attention to
them, except to shy an occasion
al brick at their canine heads.
If a little thing could impart
its littleness by petty attacks upon
the objects of its ill-regard, Mr..
Hermann would be the political
Lilliputian of the state, and the
diminutiveness of that splendid
republican worker, Hon. T. T.
Geer, would be worthy of investi-
cation by the Smithsonian insti-
tute. But, under the present
condition of affairs, and natural
laws 'being as they be-" Messrs.
Hermann and Geer will doubtless
smile and thrive politically and
otherwise, as large as life and
twice as natural.
The attitude of that Salem
paper, 50 ridicuously misnaned,
is Oregon. It attacks the
proposition to improve the Long
Tom river, not from regard for
the national treasury, but because
it involves an Oregon appropria-
ton that does not directly benefit
Salem. It sees no merit in any
Oregon enterprise OF institution
outside of its own hamlet. The
only commendable quality that
this Salem Demagogue possesses
is inability to accomplish the
harmful results it advises.

about 9 o'clock came into his Office and
asked bis deputy, Mr. Jones, if be was

some work ahead. Mr.. Perry then
left the Office and went to the creek, on
the track Of the railroad, but on reach

turned to the creek.

ture over the channel of the creek, be
climbed down carefully to some plank
nailed about 10 feet from the top and
jumped of into the swollen waters be-
low. Tie coy who saw him gave the
alarm and man OF the public road ran
down the creek to render help. When
he saw Perry he vas holding his head
above water with one band graspipg a
bush and had his bat 10 the other. The

The Indications are that President
Mckinley, soon after his Inauguration,
will enter on the work OF carrying out
the policy TO which he and the Republ!-
can party are pledged before the coun-
try. The treasury deficit must be stop
ped and his first act will be addressed to
the task OF increasing the revenues and
stopping the necessities for bond Is
sues.
It Is pretty generally understood that
the first move OF the administration Will
be the calling of the new Congress to-
gether In extra session. More revenue
Is urgently needed and law looking to
that end will be the immediate duty of
the session. There are assurances that
some OF the silver Republican senators
will aid In the passage OF measure
which would meet the needs OF the treas
ury and which would place the govern
ment on solid financial basis. They
have learned from experience that u
policy OF obstruction, such as that pur-
sued last winter. Is not only unpopular
with the people. but is embarrassing to
the country.
There are also conservative Democra-
tic senator's who realize fully the neces-
s!;y for increased revenues, and while
they may be opposed to protective
tariff, such as the Republican party ad-
vocates, they cannot conscIcntlously OPP
pose n revenue measure designed TO
afford relief. The Philadelphia Press,
In the following paragraph, gives what
1t is generally understood the pro-
Eramme OF the extra session should be:
The result will be an early extra ses-
sion OF the new Congress. The inst act
OF President Mckinley, after naming ms
cabinet, Is likely to be the Issuing OF the
call More revenue IL Indispensable. II
may be possible TO tide over the Inter
venlng months till the new ndmlnistrn-
ton comes In. but when 1t assumes re-
sponsibllity 1t must address Itself at once
TO this necessity. Sufficient revenue must
be provided TO run the government ana
continued deficits must stop. Mr.. DlnSley
