WHO Is THE PATRIOIY

1t is generally conceded that the
patriotic citizen Is one who is so
thoroughly imbued with patriotism
and love of country that he is ever
ready to maintain and build up home
institutions by giving them his undi-
yided and exclusive support; patronizes
only home industries and contents
himself with wearing the clothes, eat
ing the food and drinking the bever-
ages made only at home; in short, the
one who confines his purchases to the
products of home and will not have
anything made abroad. This idea of
the real patriot is gained largely from
the teachings of our protectionist
friends, who have preached to us these
many years that it is next, to criminal
to advance any cause or patronize any
that would enhance the in
terests of foreign country. They
have taught US to believe that it was
the true principle of patriotism to con-
fine. our consumptions ito home pro-
ductions and to build up an exclusively
home market for everything we pro-
luce. >s,G :.
This idea is very nice in theory, but
we're it practiced strictly. the national
treasury would soon be deplete, for uu-
Ter present systems our principal
source of revenue is. from the duties
paid upon imports. Hence the aues-
ion arises, who is the real patriot, the
,ne who patronizes home industries ex-
and thus deprives the gov
,rnment of revenue, or the one who
purchases imported commodities and
to the funds of the govern
nent? The idea of living exclusively
or ourselves, selling all we can abroad
md buying nothing OF foreign countries
8 pleasant one to contemplate, bur
it were practical, Uncle Sans cash
.ccount would soon run low, and then
hose who bought few dutiable goods |
ould be looked upon as patriots.

TWO OPINIONS OF MITCHELL

Hon John II. Mitchell is being more
thoroughly discussed at present than
any other man in the state, and it is
really amusing to read the opinions ex-
pressed by the press concerning him.
The Oregonian takes the lead in oppo-
sition to the senator's reelection, but
1t is actuat ted by malice, hence its ex-
pressions cannot be considered serious.
"; but there are other papers that
view the senator unprejudicedly, and
their opinions of him diverge widely.
AS an illustration we give herewith ex-
pressions from the East oregonian and
La Grande Gazette, which are no doubt
unbiased nv reiuaice, though they
view him through different kinds of
spectacles. Here Is what the East
Oreganisu says:

House.

SALEM, Or, Jan. 14.-When the
house had been called to order this
morning and it was discovered that no
quorum was present, U'Ren of Clacka-

a statement. There we're at first OBJ
jections, but the house finally sui
sided and U'Ren began.
Itproved to be deliberate announce
ment of the position of the populists to
the effect that if an effort vas made to
use force to capture the house it would
be met by force, and he warned the
members not to undertake it.
"We want no trouble" said U'Ren.
'.We are not here to invite it. We
are all law-abiding citizens and friends
and neighbors. This house is made up

a WFUL DISCLOSURES.

Tariff making is not roseate Job for
the ways and means committee, and if
few more breaks are made like the
one that occurred the other day when
the schedule on woolen goods was
being considered, Chairman Dingley
is liable to declare the hearings off,
and proceed to form tariff bill as the
committee should, without consulting
the beneiciaries of protection.
Sigmund Muhlhauser, of Cleveland,
Ohio, was the disturbing element. He
threw the seekers after protection
mamma into panic by declaring that
every wooden manufacturer in the
committee room was a purchaser of
the shoddy he manufactured, and
that it was a part of the wooden out
put of every mill in the country.
This was horrifying. Heretofore,
shoddy has been the straw man used
by the republican members of the
committee with which to demonstrate
their valor and righteous defense
of the American workman. They
have carefully constructed this
creature of straw, and have made it as
fierce and terrible appearing as possible
They have berated and execrated it,
and then, with crowded grand stand
play, have fallen upon it with weapons
and fists, and have given it terrific
battle.
But, alas! they have been forced to
hear that shoddy ia a considerable
part of the legitimate wooden manufac-
tuers of this country and that every
one of these protected makers
of WOODEN goods makes extensive use
of the unholy stuff in his business.
Every statement made heretofore
concerning shoddy has been-to the eff.
feet that il is u filthy sort of product,

EDITORIAL NOTES.

AS usual the Oregonian is falling OF
the side of the corporations in advo
eating the funding bill now before
congress, which Is little less than s
measure to .defraud the government
out of the money it has advanced fol-
the Pacific roads. ...
Nine out of every ten Legislators
seem to consider. tho making of q
U. S. senator the principal labor
they have to perform, and if there is
the customary wrangle over the
senatorship all economical legislation
will be overlooked during the session.
The farce that is being enacted in
Salem is a strong argument in favor of
electing u. s. Senators by the. direct
vote of the people. If the senatorial
contest were out of the way, there
would have been no trouble in organic
Ing the house.
The Oregonian is determined to de-
feat Senator Mitchell, but. il is pursu-
ing the very course that will elect him,
if such thing is possible. The course
it is pursuing is a powerful agent in
throwing the doubtful vote to him. If
MITCHELL is not reelected it will not be
the fault of the Oregonian.
What's the matter with the. repub-
licans of Oregon? They have. 35
straight out republicans in the house
of represeL tatives, but cannot organize
that body. Let democrats keep hands
off: it's none of their fight. If the re-
publicans cannot control their forces,
let the blame of blocking legislation
rest with them.
The preparations for McKinley's in.
are very elaborate, and
greater extravaganza will be practiced
cal than at any previous Inauguration.
Would not it be well for the managers
to goa little slow? These are not
times for extravaganza and pomp.
What the people want most is econ
omy.
The speakership fight in the house
will result in no good to the state.

BACK DOOR FORCED.
How a Valuable Express Package
Was Stolen From Quincy.

Oroville, Cal, Oct. Is, The details Of the
express robbery at Quincy received here are
meager. The messenger whose duty il Is to
guard valuable shipments goes up there
twice a month. on the 18TH and on the last
day Of the month. The robber was probably
aware Of when these trips were made, and
the arrival of the messenger was sufficient To
indicate that the treasure was TO be sent out
of town.
Tho stage for Reno leaves Quincy at 4 a. m,
and the driver, James Gempsey, has a key TO
the express Office. Ho drives up and gets tho
express box himself, as the agent does not
get up TO deliver ID To him. The express mat.
ter is put up at night by the sgent, the coins
placed in the box and the box left in the store
and office combined. The driver and express
mt ssenger each has key TO the front door
On Saturday morning when they opened the
door and looked for tho box there was none
to be found.
Thev hastily examined the room and found
that the transom over the back door had
been broken open, showing that the robbor
entered the room at that point. There is no
clue 10 the identity Of the robber
There was $50 in gold in one package and
10 Is thought there were other valuable pack
