Once again attention has been
itrongly called to the need of the
Nicaragua canal. On the Pacific
coast we are getting but a small
share of the profits resulting from
the recent great advance in the
price of wheat in Europe. Wheat
which has to be sent around Cape
Horn cannot get to Europe until
the new cropof wheat has been
harvested and by that time the
price is likely to have fallen very
much. If the Nicaragua canal
were in operation our wheat could
be landed in Europe before the
new crop is in market and we
would enjoy the same proportion
ate profit as has been realized by
holders of wheat east of the Rocky
mountains.

ATHENA, JUNE 3, 1898.

The Pacific Northwest has at
tracted a very undesirable class of
subjects since times commenced to
recover materially last fall. Con.
fidence men, gamblers, burglars
and hobos come in large numbers
with the Klondike rush, but among
the most obnoxious lot of fellows
that are thoroughly doing practic-
ally every town in the state and
certainly doing" every victim
who is susceptible to the wiles Of
q smooth tongue are the travelling
fakirs. There are solicitors,
agents and peddlers to burn, run
ming at large over this state at
present. The newspapers are do
ing their share in the burning"
process, too, but the irresponsible
humbugs manage to find gullible
people everywhere. The following
from the Fairfield WASH Stand
ard, is merely the reflection Of the
state of this growing evil through
out the whole northwest country;
Fairfield has been the head
quarters of the travelling fakirs
this week. Grocers, clothiers
and medicine dealers have been
trying to buttonhole the farmers
out of their hard earned coin by
exposing" the robbery practice by
local dealers, The fakirs carry
samples Of their goods with them
and solicit orders from the farm
ers, the goods to be delivered at
some future date. The samples
displayed are invariably ofa high
grade of goods, and particular care
will be exercised not to deliver the
same quality, or their business
would be q losing proposition. The
grocery man has samples Of teas
and that usually retail at so cents
a pound and offer to sell it at 25
cents. The local merchant will
sell him the same quality of tea
that he receives for 90"
In the cities these swindlers are
held down to an extent by licenses
ofa very stiff character. In smaller
towns the same course may be
pursued with profit and the tariff
should be placed at high figure.
Dealers, with the support of the
press should carry on Il campaign
of education to protect themselves
and their customers, and at the
same time they may set Il good
example by letting severely alone
all classes of fakirs, such as the
trading stamp, and equally allur-
ing but deceptive frauds.

one of the most damnable
leeches in existence. 1t is a
shame that politics must be dragged
into school matters. If there
is anything that should be
kept free from the communicating
influences of politics it is the pub,
lie schools of America; but so
long as the American Book Com
pany exists it is impossible to
purify the school atmosphere. And
for the reason of its existence that
feature must be added to thequali-
fcations of school superintendents.
The superintendent elected this
year will choose books for Oregon.
All it behooves voters interested in
free schools is to vote for men un-
Influenced by this corporation.

Admiral is the highest rank and
commander of the navy. Vice ad-
miral is next in rank to the admir-.
al, aud rear admiral is third in the
scale. Admirals are called flag
officers, as the flag is a symbol of
their rank. A commodore is the
next grade above a captain and
ranks with brigadier general of
the army. A commodore may
command a squadron, or as acting
rear admiral, on q fleet.

Platform.

The Republicans of Umatilla county, by
their representatives in convention assembled,
appealing for the popular justification of their
claims, address themselves to the conscience
and intelligence of the voters of Umatilla
county in the following declaration of prin-
ciples:
we believe in the principles of the republi-
can party as maintained for period of 40
years, with the exception of the Cleveland
administration, and reitertlte their doctrines;
and especially do we approve the principles of
the st. Louis platform of 1897
Proteetion-We declare our renewed faith
and confidence in the policy of protection as
the means of turtherirg the industrial advan- :
tage of employment to our laboring classes.
We believe in securing the American market
for the American producer and uphoiding
the highest possible wages for the American
workmen; and especially do we favor rev.
enue fully adequate to producing the current
needs OF the government at all times of peace.
Money-We are opposed to the free coinage
of silver at any other ratio but that of its COM
mereial value; and we are opposed to every
measure calculated TO debase our currency or
impair the nations credit We favor the
maintenance of all our silver and PAPER cur
rency at n parity with gold, and we favor all
payments Of national obligations with money
of the present standard value,
Reciprocity-We believe In reciprocity and
demand its renewal and extensions on such
terms as will equalize our trade with other
nations and secure as large markets for our
products of farms and factories
We endorse the firm stand taken by our
government in regard to the condition of
Cuba, and we favor policy which may result
in the entire and speedy Independence of the
island without war If possible, with war if
necessary.
County Afiairs-In county affairs we de-
mand on the part of the officers that the law
shall be enforced; that the revenue of the
county shall be protected; that no money of
the county shall be paid without warrant of
law, that the taxes shall be collected, and
when collected they shall be speedily paid to
the proper officers, and to that end we favor
the keeping by the. county ofa set of double
entry hooks, that the accounts of the county
can be more conveniently, accurately and
plainly kept and audited,
I'VE favor making the county treasurer the
collector of taxes, and paying him o salary
commensurate with his duties,
I'VE favor such legislation as will secure
an amendment OF the present tax laws, max
ing taxes delinquent on October of each year
instead of April l."

Candidates. tor the legislature
this year should be chosen with
particular caution. TO be a mem.
ber of the legislative assembly is
an ambition worthy any honest
citizen; but it isn't every voter
who is fit for the position. Politi-
cal parties treat this matter too
lightly; but the people are becom-
ing aroused to the necessity of
having cleaner representation.

A vote for the candidates on the
Union ticket is for men who, if
elected, will Gil their respective
positions to the best of their abil-
ity, Taken all in all the Union
ticket is composed Of men Of good,
clean character; men who are
known for their honesty of purpose
politically throughout the county
and state. To the men on this
ticket, assisted by the newspapers
supporting them, is due the clean
and wholesome methods in which
the present campaign has been
conducted. "Mud,slinging" has
been made conspicuous by its
absence, and personalities have
been studiously avoided, with the
result that in this campaign the
people have been made aware that
a decent canvass Of the county can
be made, if candidates are so dis.
posed. Next Monday is election
day, and the Pass for this portion
Of Umatilla county, on behalf Of
the candidates on the Union ticket,
respectfully submits the issues on
which the canvass has been made
to the intelligence of the voters.
While the ballots have not been
voted or counted, yet the contest,
in our opinion has been decided in
the minds Of the people, and on
next Monday, when this decision
is rendered, the various Offices Of
the state and county will be found
to be given in trust to the men
only who merit them.
