has been generally supposed that the
Statesman was not doing anything to
attract the attention, wrath or enmity
Of the Scott dynasty. The Statesman
is especially hauled fore and aft be.
cause II had the nerve TO say there was
no crying demand in Oregon for tariff
revision. 1t is asked to name a candi-
date for Congress in this district who
does not favor tariff revision. The can.
didates have not been bursting the
drum Of the public ear, shouting their
views on the subject. There are other
matters, equally important, but THE
STATESMAN Is SINGLED OUT
AND GIVEN A ToNGUE-LAsHING
over this matter, for which it is not at
all responsible. The purpose is to ST.
lence the Statesman and whip II into line
on some other matter. The candidates
for Congress will probably sing their
song to the people when the proper
time comes. In the mean time IL is well
TO remember that Binger Hermann is
not yet convicted. If he is not sent to
the penitentiary, his friends may take
notion 10 send him to the United
States Senate. The only trouble is, he
has not grabbed a million or two Of tim
ber lands for himself, like the senators
from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michi-
gan. The biggest timber thieves in
those states have nearly all been made
millionaires, and some Of them from
each state madeU. s. senators.

the whole state and, while the people
were asleep, get a man in for judge TO

by certain parties, and not by the peo.
pie in general. Second, that, UNABLE
TO DEFEND THEIR POSITION,
THEY TRY TO LAUGH 1T OFF.
Well, that is the best and wisest way
out of a difficult position. Tho mission
of the Maverick is apparent to all. Its
articles enable the oregonian to reprint
without showing its own hand. 1t has
troubles of its own, keeping tab on the
Portland journal, and cannot afford TO
unsheath its broadsword for any small
fry country newspaper like The Daily
Capital journal. And IL is better to be
silent, or, at least, cater TO the Orego'
nian, if you want TO live in Oregon and
amount to anything in the way Of pub
licity. The Maverick articles also indi'

Portland, June 4.

Portland, June 4.
Well, the Portland exposition has
been opened. There were not so many
more people in town but the street cars
mud hotels could handle them all. Beyond
rsducing the size Of their dishes a lit
tie, there has been no change in the
gn5ces or service at the restaurants. The
kJarber shops have tucked on an extra
aiekel for shaving your neck il you
have that done on Saturday. THERE
HAS BEEN NO COMPLAINT ABOUT
THE HOTELS ADVANCING RATES.
The New Oregon, that opened the other
day, is full and has among It's guests
senator Mitchell and Homer Daven-
purt. / could not begin 10 name the
Oregon notables who were at the open,
ing Of the fair. Quite a number Of the
salem guests stopped at the New
Lange, and IL is becoming Salem head
quarters more than ever. Prices have
not been advanced, and will not be,
says Sam Bauman, tho manager. SO
Tar, I have found the restaurants that
gave the best service among the small
er concerns 10 be the Alder, on Alder
street, next to Meyer & Franks store,
and the Cream store, run by the Hazle-
wood creamery people, on Washington,
between Park and Ninth streets.

The city election has a sticky, creepy
feeling, and the people ] come in con,
tact with are not so sure about Will
Jams being the next mayor. At the
eleventh hour the Republican city com
mittee made herculean effort and got
out redhot campaign material TO rally
the faithful. For party that had
nearly ten thousand majority for
Roosevelt, the situation is peculiar, but
IL can be set down in Oregon that the
time when mere party majority ensured
the election Of every man on the ticket
is past. THE ACTION OF THE IN.
DEPENDENT VOTERS in this respect
may be set down as pretty sure TO be
ON THE SIDE OF REFORM If you
can show them plainly whore they can
strike a blow. Roosevelt encourages this,
and nearly all the bolting Republicans
say they are Roosevelt men and expect
TO be IL he stands by his present poll.
cies. Lane has made a clever fight, SO
has the Portland journal. In the last
minutes of the campaign the city com
mittee appealed to State Chairman Ba'
ker for help TO elect Williams. Beyond
a square and manly appeal TO the party
workers in each precinct, Chairman Ba'
ker could not assert himself, but il

much as to Baker The oregonian has

The last spike has been driven in the

the way for more traffic on the Colum

business men, headed by Hon. Jos

TREATY is SENT
TO THE SENATE
If United States Does Not Take Hold

Government, Some Foreign Gov

Monroe Doctrine.

Washington, Feb. 16. - The senate
must decide the question as to whether
or not the Monroe doctrine is TO be
maintained and upheld. This Is the
contention OF President Roosevelt. He
made the issue clear in confidential
letter to the senate late this afternoon,
in transmitting TO that body the treaty
entered into between this government
and the republic OF Santo Domingo,
relative to which the treaty-ratifying
body OF the government has heretofore
INDUCED in some caustic criticisms.
The president declared that foreign
governments were pressing Santo Do
mingo for the payment of claims; that
while the republic should be prosper
GUS, its revenues were depleted through
instructions and that, if the United
States did not exercise such Just par
entail supervision as would naturally be
expected and as was desired by the re-
public and arrange for the payment Of
just obligations, foreign governments
would set about to enforce collection
through the customary diplomatic
The message was referred to the com
mittee on foreign relations. The treaty
was not read. 1t was the expectation
Of Chairman Cullom to have a special
meeting of the committee to take the
up for consideration.
Briefly stated, the protocol or treaty
provides that the United States shall
collect the customs revenues of Santo
Domingo and turn over to President
Morales government specified per-

ALL IN SUSPENSE.


Washington, Feb. ls.-''No more
Federal appointments in Oregon until
after the trials"
This conclusion was reached las,
night by Secretary Hitchcock. Attorney
General Moody and Postmaster Genera
Wynne, and applies to all appointments
coming under the jurisdiction Of their
respective departments. AS a matter
OF fact, this decision will affect only
poatotiice appointments, for there Is no
likelihood Of Vacancies occurring in
either the Interior department or the
department of Justice while the land
fraud case are pending. The district
attorneyship must necessarily remain In
allegiance until the cases are concluded
there are no land office vacancies pres.
ent or prospective, unless the register
and receiver at Roseburg should be dis

plated until after the trials are over

but Only Wounds Himself.

Champs Elysee quarter were aroused
tonight by loud explosion, and the
police, who were hurriedly summoned,

cross examined He said his name was
Garcia and he was a Spaniard. He
asserted he had been ruined by the
Mexican government and in revenge
threw bomb, which, however, ex-
ploded too soon, and he himself was in
Jured. The police found revolver. a
dagger and some anarchist pamphlets,
and search of his lodginsg led to the
discovery of two bombs identical with

RESERVES BREAK UP A. CROWD
Russian RevoIutionists we're Blocking
Streets in New York.

New York, Feb. 2l.-Police reserves
were called out tonight to dispense a
crowd said to be sympathizers with the
Russian revolutionary party. Eight
men were arrested, charged with parad-
ing without a permit, collecting n
crowd and holding an unlawful meet

The trouble started when two police
men came upon crowd cheering and
appiauding speech made by one of
their number. The police were unsuc-
cessful in dispensing the people. and
called for the reserves. 1t was said
that red flag was being waved and
later sergeant Of police, who assisted
IN the raid, made the statement that

were tailors and protested against being

Boise, Feb. 20. - A furry occurred
IN ene senate today over changes in the
record. 1t caused some excitement and
gave rise to some recrimination. Ever
since the session opened there has been
trouble over the records. Under the
ueclslon OF the supreme court, in what
IS called the fee bill'' case, every step
taken IN the passage of measure and
IN the adoption of amendments must
appear affirmatively. The journal,
therefore, becomes still more important.
governor Gooding discovered in some
u 'ne hrst bills brought to him for sig
nature that the journal records were
uencient. He thereupon requested
ooth houses to furnish him with certi-
neu copies OF the journal as to each bill
sent to him.
