Chairman Hendricks ard his advisory
board put the congressman first. He
did not wish his readers 70 forget Mr..

title OF all the Union candidates,
turning them right around, so as to
create all the confusion possible. Mr..
Hendricks may have been serving
the ends OF justice. He may have been
serving the devil and violating law,
but no one doubts he was serving his

THE POLITICAL REVOLUTION.

Whichever way the election goes in
Oregon, June 6. there is bound to be
a political revolution. If the state Is
carried by the Fusion forces for the
state aud legislative tickets then
there will be movement here as
there has been 10 Washington in the
direction of government for the
masses and the poorer classes OF peo-
ple. The slnecures and commissions
aud soft snaps will go by the board to
a wholesale extent. There will be a
transrerral OF the burdens of govern
ment upon the privileges and fran
chises and there will be some enjoy
ment of the benefits and honors by
the people who have virtually been
shut out for twenty years.
II the Republicans win there will
be return to the ring rule and ex-
travagance that was oYerthrown four
years ago when the better elements OF
Republicanism asserted themselves,
The predatory class led by the Mite
he'll. Mcbride McElroy. elements will
reassume the reins Of government.
The legislative rioting in public plum
der viii he resumed and the state
will have dismal outlook for the
producer and taxpayer SO far as state
and county government can impose
unnecessary burdens and lead to the
corruption OF the masses Of the peo-
pie by extravaganza and creation OF
places for the benefit Of the party.
If the fusionists shall have the leg
islature or even the lower house and
the Republicans the state offices,
there will be prolonged struggle be-
tween the opposing elements of re-
form and reaction. The result Will
not be as favorable as If one side or
the other hadgained a decided victory
for the reform elements viii not be
able 10 carry out their remedial pro-
gram and the Republicans will be
In a position TO say they prevented
us from doing anything. Whatever
the result of the election the JOUR-
NAL Will labor to get the best possi-
BILE result for the people. IL the fus-
ionists go in we shall labor 20 have
them pursue conservative course
without any compromise of reform
principles, feeling sure that is the
best way to bnild up permanent
reform government, IL the Repabli-
cans go In the JOURNAL will labor to
advance the success OF any measure
or policy OF administration that shall
be fraught with the smallest conces-
sIons TO the dangerous classes of that

HERO HOBSOF.
What the Naval Ohicials Say About
Him.

WASHINGTON, June 8. 6.-Assistan1
Naval Constructor II. l.. Ferguson
has known, the hero Of the MerrimaC
exploit at Santiago, fora number OF
years, and when seen, had the follow
ing to say Of him:
"Richmond Pearson Hobson en-
tered the naval academy In 1885, when
only Is years of age, and was at the
head of his class each of the four years
at the academy. His life at Annapo.
lis was not very happy.
Another account has this to say:
Richmond P. Hobson, the hero Of
the MerrlmaC occurrence, is an as
sistant naval constructor, attached to
the staff, and, therefore, not engaged
In line duty, He entered the naval
academy from Alabama, in May 1885,
and is now 2S years Of age, He grad
uated in 1889 at the head Of his class
and, as a consequence of this distinc-
tion, was sent to France by the gov
ernment to take course in naval ar
chitecture in pursuance OF policy to
give a few cadets OF the highest
standing an opportunity to acquire
the highest possible knowledge, He
entered the Polytechnique and re-
turned to the United States In 1893.
He served in the bureau of cOnstruc-
tion at Washington, and then went to
the navyyard at New York.
Later he served with Admiral
Bunce, on the Atlantic station, and
then went to the naval academy to
take charge of post graduate course
of instruction in naval construction.
When the war broke out he applied
for active duty, and was sent, with
three naval cadets under his charge,
to the flagship of Admiral SampSon's
squadron. He is described as CT tall
athletic build, very quiet and unas-
suming in manner, and would not
be picked out ordinarily as having the
high bravery his intimate associates
knew lay behind that quiet de-
meapor,
emo one who knows him we'll will
be surprised at his granc exhibition
of bravery atSantiago. and he probably
had a hand IN originating the scheme
"He secured, through Secretary
Herbert, the adoption of a regulation
to theceffect that assistant naval con-
structors may be sent to sea when
and was the first to go.
When the war broke out, Hobson ap-
piled for sea duty for himself and the
three cadets at Annapolis who were
taking a postgraduate course in
naval architecture under him, and
was Immediately sent to the flagship
New York. Admiral Sampson was
at the academy when
Hobson was a cadet, and SO knew
that no better man for the duty
could be found.
To show the activity Of Hobson's
mind, when at Paris studying ship
building and engineering at the naval
college Of France, he found time to
also take course Of lectures in lit
erature and psychology. He is
nephew of Richmond Pearson, prom
inent Republican representative from
North Carolina, and descended from
the Richmond Pearsons of North Car
olina, of whom there have been five,
two of them governors Of the state.
He is very talkative, and is free
silverlte, aud when not too political
in his conversation, is popular,
"He is now at the head of the list Of
assistant naval constructors, and will
be promoted at once to
the rank of naval constructor.

THE JOURNAL is not conyinced that
there will be a short hop crop. AS
the matter now stands the outlook is
excellent for about two-thirds of a
full crop, but all Of standard grade
hops-that is, larger crop of flrsts
than usual. The growth of vines is
lighter but there will be almost no
lice or mildew as a result unless there
are weather conditions especially
productive Of those pests. Look out

THE SLUMP IN MAY WHEAT.

The great Letter combination on
May wheat has gone to pieces and the
darkct will now resume natural con-
'itions. Larger crops are reported
''om the great competing wheat
Regions AID yet We are not afraid OF
the pl1ce going to anywhere near the
low level Of prices that has prevailed
for the past five years. The era Of
lowest prices is over and If the Repub-
lican congress will hasten an agree
ment on revenue bill and get 1t into
working order there is no reason why
business shall not resume normal pro-
portions and continue so until fall or
perhaps for year or more. A glance
at The circumstances under which the
May wheat corner went down is of in
terest. 1t is only fully detailed in the
Eastern press.
A special, May 81, says of the close
of the May deal; "The session saw
the close Of perhaps the greatest
wheat deal in the annals of the grain
business. The May option, which
left off Saturday at $1.75, ranged to-
day between 81. 40 and S1.25, closing
at the lower figure, loss of so cents
bushel. The slump in May coupled
with bearish statistics, enormous
worlds shipments and bright corn
prospects, caused a severe decline of
the different futures in wheat, As
the close, loss Of 6(66lc was shown in
July and 2(a2ic in September.
The demand in the wheat pit was
from shorts, who took advantage Of
the break to buy in and secure profits,
July had sensational decline, during
which some longs sold out, 1t started
at from 81 .0l to s1.02 and was offered
now from 81 OIL, half cent at each
trade until it had dropped to 94ic. 1t
recovered portion of the decline later
with little help from Letter. May,
which closed Saturday at Sl.75,
opened at 81 40 and quickly dropped
to S1.25 in the first few minutes. The
evident intention was to maize a price
for the heavy receipts that were Of
tered in the sample market,
The trade was confined to Letter
brokers, who were both buyers nd
sellers and made what price they
chose. A we'll known statistIcian es-
timated the wheat crops Of Texas,
Oklahoma and Kansas, at l00,000,000
bushels, against S5,0O0,00O bushels
last year. The crop news at home
and abroad could hardly have been
more bearish. The worlds shipments
asst week were enormous, showing that
wheat was being pressed for sale the
world over. The India movement was
a surprise, that country having
shipped about 100000 bushels, and
Russia put 'afloat more than Amer
lea. The visible increased nearly
6OO, 900 bushels, where small decrease
was expected.

Under the above heading the Cot
tage Grove Messenger says.
The second call for 75, 600 volunteer:
raised hopes in the breasts of many
men in Oregon that they would have
an opportunity to get in on it and
serve with newly organized regiment
but it begins TO look now as though
those hopes might be dashed, and
that all Oregon would get to do under
the second call would be TO send aIfew
hundred recruits to the regiment now
on the way 30 Manila. Oregon re-
sponded 10 the first call with more
men than the department asked for
aud now the secretary of war wants
Oregon TO send lot more privates.

This is not proving satisfactory. Or.

ment If it is wanted, hut wants to
furnish officers as well as prlvates.
The New York world says on the
Subject Of "the Civilian Appoint
ments," The military school at West
Point was forced on an unwilling
civilian government as the result Of
the humiliating record of our army
in the war OF 1912 against Great Brit
ain, in the two Important wars since
then, the Mexican war and the war
Of the Rebellion, the value of West
Point thoroughness and training has
been demonstrated by every test that
could be applied. 1t has shown that it
is a science of which the require
ments have grown steadily more and
more exacting with the improve
ments r,ade In It's appliances and
methods, and yet, when brought face
to face today with the stern ard mer-
ciless requirements Of war, the gov
ernment deliberately repudlates all
West Point precedents and shows its
for every West Point
method and requirement by the
wholesale appointments to high rank
In the army of civilians deYold alike
Of natural ability and military train

been secured avowedly by political

The government has full
of captains and lieuten-
ants, educated in their profession,
who have grown gray in the service
Of their country, who are competent
and fit to fill these positions, and to
whom the promotion naturally he
longs, In ignoring their claims and
in giving appointments to the worth
less scions of politician and to merely
rich dawdlers who seek COM
NJ ission for decorative purposes only.
the government has not merely re-
yersed and repudiated its own mil
itary system, but shows that it has
failed to learn the lesson which that
system has taught it in every time
