WHY HERMANN SHOULD BE RE.
NOMINATED.

Laying aside all personal interests
and political combinations, there are
some plain business reasons why Hon
Blnger Hermann should be renominat
ed for congress in this district.
Many Republicans have been con.
vinced for some time that the way to
build up a powerful influential delega-
tion for Oregon is to change the per.
sonnel no oftener than is necessary.
Republicans recall with pleasure the
effective work done In congress when
Mitchell, Dolph, HERMANN and Moody
were there together
Whatever mistakes have been made
In the past. there Is a growing feeling
that those mistakes should not be re.
peated, and that the delegation should
be kept intact.
From this standpoint The Journal
has sought to voice the interests of the
people and the real welfare of the Re.
publican party in its efforts to con.
tinue both Hermann and Williamson
in congress from Oregon.
Coming down to Mr. Hermann's
claims for a denomination, they are
founded entirely upon his sterling
Republicanism and his ability to ac.
complish results for his constituents.
His Republlcanlsm has never been
questioned, but his efficiency as a
congressman has been denied by the
opposition, as we believe with perfect
honesty and sincerity on their part.
But they have been misinformed and
prejudiced by the Misrepresentation
of politicians who have their own rea.
sons for wanting a new congressman
These reasons may be good and suf
ficient to them, and we do not impugn
their motives or logic in the slightest
degree, by claiming that they are not
SUFFICIENT.
The people have right to Mr.. Herr
mann's service In congress, just tho
same as the owner of a big ranch has
the right to employ the most compe-
tent manager he can hire, to make
that ranch profitable,
The people know that in his famll-
iarty with all the departments. as a
worker In the committee room, as a
rustler on the floor OF the house of
representatives, Binger Hermann has
no superior
Without disparaglng the merits of
others who are wanting his place, his
long service In Washington makes him
a very effective man and enables him
10 get almost anything that he goes at:
ter.
He Is not SNOWY politician, but
more a plain, matteroffaot, common,
ordinary, everyday political scrapper
He is not noted for much speaking
on the floor OF the house, and we have
a number Of more eloquent orators In
Western Oregon than Binger Her
mann.
Il should be said In this connection
ihat he is one OF the most effective
stump speakers In political cam
paign, as a getter of votes for the
whole Republican ticket
He has reputation at Washington

constituents in a straightforward
business manner.
The humblest citizen in this dlstric
can write to Congressman Hermann
and, whether it is demand for gardeI
seeds, a pension claim or a little
change in the mail service, the letter
is not perfunctorlly turned over tc
some department clerk, but all such
matters are looked after in person by
"old Binger Hermann"
He writes all his constituents a per.
sonal letter, and gives his personal at
tention to the affairs of every citizen
of his state, whether a resident of his
own district or not
This way of considering his office a
public trust, and considering himself a
plain servant of the common people,
has endeared him to the hearts of his
constituents.
When he is at home he is one Of
them, and all the rilicule Of his
double-handshake, and all his catering
to the wants of the people can never
weaken him in their affections.
Morally, Mr.. Hermann is a clean
man, and Christian gentleman, and
model citizen in his family life.
He is an example that any young
man can initiate with safety and fol.
low with satisfaction.
II he is renominated he will be re.
elected, and the people of Oregon will
have a hard-worlting and worthy mem.

Horse Stealing in New York.

From the New York Globe.
The next foreign visitor who writes his
book after a hal dozen glances at the
newspapers and the landscape will have a
subject for new chapter-namely. horse
stealing in New York. 1t may be assumed
that an observer who is with difficulty con-
WINGED that Indians do not Turk In the
Bronx, and who SHES at the uplifted tema-
hawk of the cigar sign, will make the most
of the present remarkable series of crimes.
Horse stealing may be regarded SO typically
American. SO delightfully."- Dick Turpinish,
so in accord with what ought to happen on
this side of the water. that the topic should
be enlarged upon with q due complement
os exclamation points.
New York, which at times has made
merry at the west, has cause to blush.
Within ten days no less than fifty horses
stolen-surely Texas has seldom done better
than TINS. Moreover, not only are the ami
mas gone, put wagons and harness also.
This on crowded metropolitan streets, where
policemen are supposed to be in constant
patrol. 1t Is not strange that the victims
or the robberies are in most fluent pro-
test, and have organized to stop the depre-
datlons. Verify, there was excuse for the
vigilance societies which once existed, and
for the judicial determination that a man
who stole horse, and was caught at 1t,
was to be deemed to have committed sui
eide. We may not go so far as lamppost
decoration, but manifestIy police eyes must
be sharpened for the protection of our faith
full friends of the delivery wagons. If these
may be stolen with impunity, what assur-
ance Is there OF the safety of our stoves,
our furniture, or our carpets?

CAPITOL EXTENSION.
The Walter Plan of 1865 Adopte,

The adoption of the Walter plan of 1865
for the extension of the Capitol has broken
what appeared to be a deadlock in the mat
ter OF that improvement.
Members of the commission, which is COM
posed of Senators Wetmore, Alger and Cor
man, Speaker Cannon and Representatives
Hepburn and Richardson, could not agree
on the plan of 1874, which contemplated the
extension Of the central portion of the
building a considerable distance east of
the lines of the Senate and House wings.
That plan would have provided about nine
ty additional committee rooms, but it was
objected to on account of it's tendency to
hide the dome from view except when the
spectator should be far removed from the
building, and 1t resulted n making the
Supreme Court room an interior apartment
except as it might get light and air from
shaft to be provided for that purpose,
and in darkening committee rooms.

DESERT scREECH-oWL.

Dispossesses Squirrels, Chipmunks and
Woodpeckers to Find Home.
From Country Life in America.
In Arizona the owls live mostly in
holes in the ground and in holes in the
giant cactus. 1t would be contrary to their
predatory nature to dig their own holes. or
yet to build nests of sticks while there were
other available nesting places. So every
springtime there is lot of trouble among
the desert chipmunks and ground squir
rels until the burrowing owls have chosen
their holes and settled down for the sea-
son. Similarly the ella woodpeckers and
gilded f1ickerS have nc assurance that their
holes in the sahuaras are their own until
after the screech-owls and pigmy owls
have been established in comfort. Posses
sion is all the law there is in the arizona
cactus and desert, and in case of dispute
the owls eat little chipmunks and fiickers.

RUSSIAN LOSS rs 1000
MANY RUMoRs AFLoAT IN ST.
PETERSBURG ABOUT FIGHT.
Gen. Sassulitch Reported Relieved and
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Route
Of the Cars Forces.

A cablegram from St. Petersburg says:
The interest of the public in the news Of
the fighting on the Yalu is at fever heat.
especiaily since the last official report,
which announced the fighting at Chingow,
was given out To the general disappoint-
ment no further kilograms from General
Kuropatkin were published yesterday by
the war commission. nor will the censor
pass press dispatches wired from the front.
The absence of news led to the circulation
of wild rumors. For instance. 1t was re-
ported that General Sassulitch would be
relieved of his command and court-mar-
tailed for making too strenuous stand on
the right bank OF the Yalu.
AS matter of fact. while the war office
is surprised at the resistance made by Cen
eral Sassulitch, a telegram from General
EUROPA kin to the emperor on April 26 an
nounced that Sassulitch. in view of the
preparations which the Japanese were max
ing to cross the Yalu, had begun to rein
force his troops on the Manchurian bank.
Sacrifice of Life Heavy.
Another report says that the war Office
has been Informed that the Russian casual
ties numbered 1000. Should this be true
1t can be accepted as a certainty that the
Russian plan of operations never contem-
plated such a sacrifice.
In view of the cautious advance Of the
japanese, 1t is not expected that they will
quickly follow up Sassulitch, but will take
few days in getting the remainder of
their troops and supplies across the river
and in clearing the country of Russian de-
tachments In order that their communica-
lions may not be exposed to attack.
The Russian lines were at Kulien-cheng
Cor Turenchen), opposite Wi-ju and An
tung, both on the Feng-wang-cheng road.
A mile north Of Kulien-cheng lies the VII
lage of Potietinsky, near tributary of the
Ltzaven, five miles up which Is Chingow.
On the opposite bank of the tributary Is
the village of Litzaven. Opposite Potietin-
sky stands Housan, with a dominating
height. Still higher, on the right Of the
fluence Of the Aipike.
Many Islands in Yalu Course.
The whole course of the Yalu between
Ambikhe and Antung is divided by islands,
the largest, Somalinda, facing KIlien-
cheng. Another lies between Housan and
Sindiagow.
The japanese forces, the staff believes,
Appropriated a hundred thousand men. of
which four divisions. thirteen battalionS
and fifty-six guns were in action The
japanese prepared for crossing the river by
posting all their available guns, of which
the Russians say the japanese had five
times more than they. along the line facing
Kulien-cheng and Antung, and also landed
from their warships At guns. This array
of artillery eventually made Kulien-cheng
untenable.
Under cover of powerful batteries north
of Sindiagow the japanese crossed to Hou-
san, occupying the height. AS the latter
position would haveJenabled them to direct
a raktng fire against the Russians at Ku-
Hen-cheng. General SassuHtch ordered it to
be retaken Friday. This was done, but on

Counting a Girl in spain.
From the London Globe

Counting in Spain is conducted on nrin-
ciples that might almost be described as
unique. The Spanish g:rl of any attractions
is almost always attended by young man
who is known as her novio, and who has
the privilege of squirting her on her walks,
although by a singular anomaly no formal
engagement exists. So long as this state of
things continues the young lady has to be
loyal and obedient to her gallant. But he
may cease his attentions at any time and
openly transfer his attentions to some other
lady. Although the advantages of such a
custom are all on the side of the male,
very few Spanish girls would care to be
without novio, however tickle.
