OREGON REPUBLICANISM.

UhEUON nEfODLlCANIOM.
The republican party in Ore
gon cannot afford to grow excit-
ed over one mans personal dis
appointments, no matter how
good a republican he is, even
were that disappointment well
founded. The woods are full of
solid republicans who have never
been offered any Office, and
whose political reward is simply
that enjoyed by every citizen,
the blessings of a safe, progress
i've and wise government.
The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, ''you Benton county
republicans, stop your making
states, if you want the support
of the gold democrats" is anus
ing the few people who hear it.
1t is harmless and rather. funny
bit OF vaporizing. OF course it
does not represent the gold DEM
ocrats. They are made of more
sensible stuff. Those who now
count themselves republicans
will have as much voice in the
party affairs as any other repub-
lican and expect no more. Those
who do not, hardly expect to
dictate the policy and ticket of
a party to which they do not be-
long. 1t is not likely that any
states are being made this early,
but despite the grostesquely SOL
emn warning, states will be
made, as has always been the
case, and many of them. A
party convention usually results
in smashing states and making a
new one from selected pieces.
Each republican in the land has
a right to make slate if he de-
sires, and even Curknell Hofer
would fight for that right.
The voice. in the wildness,
perhaps has made no slate, but
in its holy of holies is slate that
to it is the very cause of being.
Simon, while other people sleep,
is toiline upward in the night.
The big roar about the Geer
affair is absolutely silly. 1t Geer
did not want the registership he
had a right to decline it. If the
delegation wished him to have it
they had a right to offer it to
him. There was nothing to
bawl about in the transaction.
AS to the collectorship, that mat
ter is for future consideration. If
Mr.. Geer desires it he has a right
to apply. This paper endorses
him for the position. But if the
delegation thinks another man is
better fitted by natural business
tact and business training for this
very important and responsible
Office, It is the right and duty OF
the delegation to appoint the best
man when the time comes. No
republican is SO important and
mighty that an office belongs to
him by right. The members of
the delegation are responsible for
the men they recommend, and if
they are clear headed and true to
their trust, they will consider fit
ness above anything else. Mr..
Geer may be the best man OBJ
tainable or he may not. If he
is appointed, we with his other
friends will be pleased, and will
expect the other candidates to
acquiesce. If he is not, Mr..
Geer. in all decency, must accept
the verdict in good grace, and of
course he will. 1t is not now a
matter of recognition. He has
been splendidly recognized. 1T is
simply now a question of the
best man for an Office, whose
proper management requires un-
usual business ability, tact and
Judgment.

Mrs. Weber should have a divorce on
the ground of gross neglect" and she
was to withdraw her first sensational

TRAINMEN GET TOGETHER,
They Hold an Important Secret
Session.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 31.-A
special meeting Of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen was held here to-
day, at which over 700 delegates from
the states of New York, Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Maryland and the
District Of Columbia were present.
Grand Master p. H Morrissey and
Deputy Grand Master Fitzpatrick, both
of Peoria, ILL.,, were also in attendance
The session was a. secret one, but at
its close it was announced that only
matters affecting the organization
were discussed, together with some ac-
tion ON what is known as the "car
coupler law and some matters of leg
is1ation before congress. Besides this,
a general grievance committee and
board of adjustment were appointed
for the Pennsylvania railroad east of
Pittsburg their duties being to con-
slider the adjustment of differences. if
any, between the men and the COM
pany. Resolutions of coincidence were
also passed on the death of President
George B. Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
railroad.
The chief topic Of discussion was the
car coupler law, which passed congress
at it's last session, and is to go into
effect this year. The Erdman arbitra-
ton bill was also indorsed as the fair
est measure yet presented to settle all
controversies between capital and la
Dor. Other resolutions were adopted
asking that restrictions be placed upon
federal judges in contempt that will
permit of trial by jury and an ap-
peal to the supreme court. r

ONLY A PITTANCiE.
But Little Is Needed to Relieve In
dia's Starving Millions.

MAGPORE, Jan. 31.-The special
correspondent of the Associated Press
who is now visiting this city, finds that
the town, which is the seat Of many
government offices and the center of
Important manufactures Of cotton, silk
Woolens and cutlery, having a popu-
lation normally Of over 100, 900, has been
invaded by an extensive migration from
the outlying districts, where scarcity OF
winter rains was the rule. Govern
ment activity In connection with the
irrigation work and other public enter
prfses through speculations taken for
the relief of the unfortunate have
averted an acute crisis. Half crops
only were secured throughout this
section of the country this season, but
the fodder supply is good and it Is
hoped the worst effects Of the famine
will be STAYED off for two months
longer at least.
Your correspondent has visited the
local poorhouse, accommodating about
1000 persons. A piteous spectacle was
here presented by the almost
naked dregs of humanity, nearly all
too i'll or diseased to work but ALI
fed and healthily housed at a cost of
1900 rupees each month, this fund
being raised by native charity. This
poorhouse is a fair speciman of poor
houses in other sections Of India and
shows how small a sum is necessary
TO save these unfortunates from actual
death by starvation. Taken as a whole.
1T may be stated that the Magpore dis
trfct is not in as bad a plight as the
northern districts already visited by
your correspondent.

BUT FIVE KILLED,

HAVANA, Jan. .31.-Via Key West
Despite runors lately circulated to the
effect that the insurgents were com
pletely demoraEzed and had broken
into scattering bands of fifty or SO in
the province of PiaaT del Rio, news
has been received that insurgents have
blown UP a passenger train, causing
much damage and a considerable loss
Of life. Although the censor prohibited
publication of the news in Havana it
soon leaked out in that city, creating
sensation and discussion. 1t occurred
at $3.50 on the morning of Jan. 28 The
explosion destroyed the engine and the
almOred tender, as well as the culvert,

wounded. A repair train has been sent
out from Candelaria for the purpose
Of repairing the injury done to the line.
All of the wounded were sent to Candel-
aria Immense crowds gathered and
escorted the bodies to the final resting
place, 1nterment taking place yester-
day.
Other reports from the province of
Pinar del Rio announce that Mayia
Rodriguez and 1900 men succeeded in
C, ossing the trocha and joining the
rebels in Pinar del Rio. Gen. Ruis
Rivera, it is asserted, also succeeded
in passing the trocha into Havana, and
il is now claimed he is in charge Of
the rebel forces in that province. It
is now expected that an aggressive
campaign will be carried on in the
province of Havana by Rivera.
Two nights ago large fire was OBJ
served to the east Of Havana. So bright
was the blaze that it attracted general
attention. The next day it was dis
covered that Arangueren had made
another daring raid in the vicinity of
Havana, burning and looting the town
of Barrera.

Christians were murdered Thursday
while outside the gates of the city, and
that armed bands Of Mussulmans leave
the town daily for the purpose Of plum
dering and burning the villages Of the
Christians. The dispatch adds that
these outrages are evidently in accord
ance with hints received from Constan-
tinople. The situation is so serious that
the foreign consuls have wired the gov
ernor general of Cameo, calling for the
adoption Immediately of stringent
measures looking to the protection of
the people Foreign warships are now
arriving at Heraklion with a view Of
offering protection to the Christians
there. The Christians in the districts in
the vicinity Of that place are arming
and occupying strategic places, for the
purpose Of preventing an influx Of Mo-
hammedans to the town. and a serious
collision is feared in the near future.

STEAMSHIP AGENTS LOBBY.
Senator Lodge Exposes an Opposi-

WASHINGTON, Jan. Ex-senator
Lcdge said today: "Since receiving a
copy Of the kilograms which Claussen-
1us Il Co. were sending out to affect
votes on the immigration bill, and
winch L gave to the press, there has
been sent to me a. copy Of the circular
which this same firm has been sending
out through the mail. AS they stated
in an interview that they were sending
out their telegrams only in their indi-
Vidual capacity, it will be interesting
to observe that this circular is ad-
dressed to agents, who, suppose, were
also to act in their individual capacity
and not as agents of the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship company. The
circular, in full, is as follows:

migration bill, which is intended to material
~ restrict immigration, comes up for final
91sp4sltlon IN the house Of representatives,
washington, Wednesday, 9th inst
IL is quite clear that immigration will
really be restricted almost to the extent of
& total exclusion of immigrants should the
bill become law, and every effort should
therefore be made to insure the defeat of
the bill. u
You are indirectly interested in the defeat
OF the bill as much as we are and we would
respectfully ask you to wire your repre-
sentative in congress Immediately upon re-
ceipt Of this to vote against the bill. in
forming him that the measure virtually
means exclusion and that his vote in favor favor
of the same will mean reputation bv his
constituents and his defeat at the next
election.
Trusting that you will net fail to give this
matter your prompt attention, we are yours
respectfully, H Claussenius & Co.

noon he went to his mothers home for
dinner and remained there nearly all
the afternoon. This evening a few

and the time was occupied in pleasant
talk, carrying with it none of the worry
of political topics, with which his time
is SO thoroughly occupied on the week
days.
There were a few callers admitted
but there was little done in the way
Of politics. The politicians have come
to understand pretty generally that
Maj. Mckinley is adverse to Sunday
conferences, and few come on that
day. Congressman J. w Wadsworth

audience, but evaded all the inter-

from Canton says the letter purpodting
to have been written by President elect
Mckinley, advising that the inaugur-
alton ball be abandoned, and the funds
for that purpose be devoted to charity,
is clumsy forgery. The letter is be-
leved to have been concocted in Wash

is not clear, for the reason that no
fund is raised for the Inauguration ball,
the expense Of that function being met
from the proceeds Of the sale of tick
cts. An investigation is being quietly
conducted by some of Mr.. McKinley's
friends, though he is not interested In
the matter, and if the forger Is found
he will be exposed If not punished.

A STRING ON REFORM.
Spain's Promises Limited to Changes
i'm Tariff,

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The Madrid cor
respondent Of the Standard announces
that he is enabled to state that the
contemplated Cuban programme will
do nothing more than assert the will
ingness Of the government to enter
tain suggestions for the reform of the
West Indian tariff, and the subsequent
Improvement of commercial relations
with the United States, a question
which it is estimated the government
and the cortes must approach eau
tiously, both measures being likely to
clash with the Spanish agricultural and
manufacturing interests, as well as the
interests of the powers in matters
growing out Of the situation in Cuba
and Porto Rico.
/. In conclusion, the correspondent Of
the Standard announces that it Is
premature to suppose that colonial re-
forms in the present coudition of the
colonies can be SO shaped as to re-
semble the Canadian or the Australian
systems Of government.
