TEACHING WAR.

Mrs. Frances W. Letter, superin-
tendent Of the physical culture de-
partment Of the National WOman's
Christian Temperance Union, is send
ing out urgent letters to arouse pub
lie sentiment against the Carter bill
pending In congress To secure military
training in the public schools. Hel
arguments are soma, The public
schools are not the place to teach war
Intelligence aud humanity are tn,
prime motives that should underli,
all public education. Military educa
tlon and discipline are valuable e
any young man, and can be obtained
In the militia organizations Of an!
state in the Union, But the publ,
schools are to furnish children tn
rudiments OF education, not OF war.

THE ISSUE IN E c

The political issue in Oregon is not
silver or anti-silver, Mckinley oranti-
Mckinley, Mitchell or anti-Mitchell'
II is whether the political machine
with headquarters at Portland and a
few paid parasites in each county
shall govern this state, control It's
legislature, and dictate its federal
patronage for the next four years.
These influences In the past have
been in control too much. These cor
rupt influences in the last legislature
were defeated on all their pet under
takings. They should not be put In
control this spring at the bidding of
the old Portland ring. They will not
be II the masses of Republicans assert
themselves.
They were giving us a state govern
ment that cost twice as much as IL
should. They were scattering costly
institutions over the state that were
not needed. They were creating
places for their pets and favorltes for
life. They promised reforms two
years ago which they never intended
I to carry out. They have control of
the state and county and congress
sIonal committees and many Of the
party newspapers. They nov propose
TO regain their grasp on the necks OF
Republicans aud make them to do
their bidding for four years to come.
The fight is not on the silver ques'
tlon. Republicans should not be de-
celved by that cry. II is a matter OF
record that men who were supporting
Dolph last winter were willing to
throw him down at any moment II
they could gain by IL. 10. Simon was
nursing the silver votes in hopes 10
dlsplace Dolph himself. There is not
n ring Republican at Portland OF
Salem who would not have taken an
election at the hands of the silver
men In the last Legislature, could he
have gotten IL. Several promised In
advance to be good silver senator's Il
elected. The ring politician has NJ
/, principles 10 annoy him. Mr.. Dolpl
, we believe Is a squarer mar on thi'
r question than his managers were ii

But the fight Is not over silver. II
Is for control OF party patronage. II

however, he is putting Mr.. Ellis in the
position of being ready to surrender
all his former avowed principles in
order to secure the gold vote of the
district. He would pose the congress
man as being out for the votes, anxious
to catch them 'comin' and goin'," as q
demagogue, pure and simple.
In what position, then IS Mr.. Ellis?
What confidence can either the gold
or silver men in the republican party
have in him? Can the gold advocates
believe he will back-track on his for
mer record, and stand up for a single
gold standard? When there is an
avowed advocate of gold in the field,
will they take chances on supporting
a man who will allow his opinions
warped by the dictations OF the national
convention? And how can the free
silver element in the republican party
still have confidence in Mr.. Ellis as an
advocate of their principles. when Mr..
Dodd says "Ellis will stand on the re-
publican platform" and predicts that
it will declare for gold? With Mr..
Dodd thus giving voice to Mr.. Ellis
views, and in view Of his past acts in
congress. there is this choice left for
the two wings of republican party.
The gold men can only flock to the
support of Judge Northup, while the
free-silver men, since Mr.. Ellis by his
telegram, and Mr.. Dodd Yoicing his
sentiments, say there is no ground for
the rumor that he will not stand on
the republican platform whatever 1t
may be, can only look to a candidate
outside their party whose views on
this question are clearly defined, as the
one on whom to bestow their support.

every dollar coming tftift hands
will be applied to paying the debus of
the county as quickly as received,
thereby lessening the interest burden
which falls upon the people.
If Charles Schultz is made the sur
veyor of Wasco none but just bills for

sented to the county court for survey
ing roads and performing other work

These promises, made in good faith,
openly and frankly by these men, and
pledged to be enforced by the county
central committee, will be redeemed
bo every one of them, and the county
expenses will be reduced to the least
possible amount. These are facts that
cannot be ignored by voters, by tax
payers and by all who desire honest,
economical administration of county
affairs.

A SPECIMEN INFANT"

A specimen of the 'sinfant..' Industries
that are yelling for Mckinley and
more protection was revealed in all it's
lusty strength in The Worlds dispatch
from Pittsburg on Saturday.
The steel-wire nail combine COM
petes successfully with the ''pauper
labor" of Germany by selling nails to
exporters at 81 keg less than the
price to our jobbers for the home
trade. Their price to the latter at the
mills here is s245 keg, to exporters
1.45. Taking advantage of this dis
elimination certain shrewd jobbers
have been buying the nails for export,
consigning them to foreign jobbera,
who, without unloading, reshipped to
this country to the original buyers.
The cost Of hauling and freight both
ways left the shippers net profit of
55 cents keg after selling to dealers
at 20 cents keg less than they could
buy them for Of the combine.
This is but an example of the way in
which the tariff-fostered trusts and
other monopolies rob the American
consumers. The World has already
shown how they sell pig-iron in Eng
gland, armor-platein Russia and steel
rails in japan in competition with
foreign manufacturers. In former
years we have proved that American
agricultural implements and machin-
cry are sold to the people Of Central
and South. America cheaper than to
our own farmers. And yet there are
thousands of silver-worshipping demo-
Gratis who do not appear to see that
McKnley's nomination will be
democratic opportunity.-N. Y. World.
The Dalles times-mountaineer. [volume] (The Dalles, Or.) 1882-1904, 1896-05-23

which co nmend themselves to the
masses of the voters. The district
wants brains and not beauty in con-
gress. The district will have a rep
resentative who is able to do some-
thing for the people besides priding
himself on his feminine looks and
bland smile: It is high time that
Ellis should come home, and a man
take his place who can be of some
service to the state.
Though the river and harbor bill
just passed by congress is waste of
the peoples money and calls for the
expenditure of more than s75, 900, 900,
it is believed on the whole to be very
good bill. 1t is excellent in compari-
son with the old way of appropriating
and spending public money. Exper-
fence has shown beyond a shadow of
doubt that the government ,an get its
river and harbor work done at an
average of from 80 to so per cent less
by the continuous contract system
than by the old method of appropria-
tion now and then and letting con
tracts only to the amount of the ap-
preparations. The delay which in
evitably ensues before work can be
Resumed causes great deterioration in
the improvements effected, and in
some cases this loss, by the action of
wind, wave, curreut and tide, is total.
Though s75,OO0,0o0 appropriation
beats all records, the best judges in
and out of congress say it is for the
best interests of the country, and will
result in economy in the end.

DEAD WEIGHT.

The cause of Judge Northup is not
helped by the assistance he is receiv-
ing from the taxeaters, Lydell Baker,
clerk of the railroad commission, and
/. A. McCrum, one of the board. Mr..
Baker was with Judge Northup here,
and made few rambling remarks
for the cause of sound money, but what
he said was so disconnected that it had
no force, and the fact that he is one of
the leeches that is hanging on to the
public purse, sapping the life-blood
from the taxpayers, caused him and his
remarks to be received with poor grace,
Baker is dead weight for Judge
Northup to carry, and to add to the
load, McCrum hobbs up serenely, as an
advocate of the sound money candi-
date, and after returning from trip
through Eastern Oregon, says to the
Oregonian:
Touching the main points from
Huntington this way, gathered some
thing of the political sentiment, and
in every place we found quite large
feeling in.favor of sound money, and
manifesting disposition to support
the sound-money candidate. Mr..
Northup is perhaps not extensively or
personally known, but I am satisfied
that the trip over the field this week
will overcome this difficulty, and we
think he will make q very favorable
impression.
eve found two kinds of sound-money
men throughout the line of our trip,
one the class of voters, not in politics.
This class is outspoken and loud in
favor of Mr.. Northup. The second
kind is the subrosa Northup men;
men who are themselves interested in
politics, or have friends in line, and
who dare not express too freely their
personal views. This class will be
heard from on election day, and will
vote quietly for Northup.
II Judge Northup can carry such
loads as the members of the state rail-
road commission and be successful, it
will be the cause of sound money, not
the candidate, that wins.
