a mob of white people lynched a

that part of the country, but what is
remarkable is that there was some
after criticism of the act, and it was
considerably censured, though of
course nobody will be punished for it.

HON. E.. B. COLWELL A POPULAR
CANDIDATE FOR STATE
SENATOR.

The announcement on Saturday last
that Hon. E. B. Colwell had become
a candidate for the nomination for a
state senatorship from Multnomah
county was received with enthusiastic
approval by a wide circle of leading
Republicans and personal friends. In
deed, an ADLER and more popular man
could not be selected to serve the
people in such an important position
as that of state senator. His many
friends have begun vigorous cam
paign for his nomination, and have
every reason to believe that success
will crown their effort. The canvass
is being made solely on Mr.. Colwell's
capability, untiring energy, high sense
of honor and extensive experience in
public business. He made most en-
viable record as representative from
this county in the state legislature,
pleasing the people with the enactment
of popular measures, among which
should be mentioned his bill provid-
ing for a 2-mill bridge tax, which has

himself on the chest and say: be-
hold what good friend OF labor l
am"
IT might be supposed that the labor
unions Of Pendleton, which has be-
come considerable of city, were bet
ter acquainted with Judge Ellis and
better knew his attitude toward work
ing men than the federated trades
unions of Portland, and the Pendleton
union men don't want him. They
prefer even Billy Lachner.
We are not meaning to say any
thing in particular against Judge Ell
lis, and suppose that the way mat
ters have shaped themselves he will
be nominated and elected. But If the
union working men of Portland sup
pose they will have any particular or
valiant or able champion in him, they
are badly mistaken. He may favor
such legislation as they want, II en-
tirely convenient to him, and if he
is permitted to do so by his masters,
but not otherwise.

LABOR UNIONS AND CONGRESS-
MEN.

Up in Baker City, where Candidates
Rand and Lachner live, and also in
Pendleton, the home of Judge Ellis,
the labor unions have Endorsed Lach-
ner for representative in congress,
while in Portland the federated trades
union has Endorsed Ellis. Leaving
out of consideration the question as
to whether all the members of these
unions are Republicans, as such ac-
tion would seem to indicate or as
sumo, it shows that there is a marked
division of sentiment among them as
to the best man for their interests
to be elected to congress. They all
seem to agree in opposition to Rand,
as they are quite justified in, but they
don't agree as to the next best man.
At the last meeting Of federated
trades here several speeches were
made in favor of Ellis, it being said
that he was friendly to labor and
could be depended upon to serve their
interests, but nobody mentioned any
thing that he ever did upon which to
found such a conclusion. Ellis in
congress will vote on all questions ex-
actly as the leaders or bosses tell
him to vote. II few leaders like
Cannon, Payne, Dalzell and Tawney
want bill to benefit the laboring peo-
pie killed, Ellis will vote that way.
If they decide to yield something to
the demands of labor, Ellis will cheer
fully follow them, and then will pat

THE IMPORTANT THINGS.

Mr. Elmer B. Colwell, in letter
published in the Oregonian of Thurs
day, is right when he says:
81 think that the average voter had
better pay more attention to how a
candidate for the legislature stands
on the question of S5-cent gas and a
proper restriction of public franchises,
instead of getting worked up about
whether the candidate signs state
ment 1, statement 2, or any statement
at ALL
When we see great corporate in
terests working themselves into hys-
terics over intangible things like
statement l and statement 2, then the
careful voter will do well to stand
aside and ask what is the reason of
all this sudden fuss about this mat
ter.
mo matter whether statement 1
wins or loses, We will have a United
States senator, and probably a good
one. But We do not know that we
will have cheaper gas or any relief
from franchise grabbers. These are
questions that concern laboring men
and wage-earning people.
'In electing a legislature would it
not be we'll to pay little attention
to how a candidate stands on real
live questions, and not to take a sim
pie statement that he has signed
statement 1 as a guarantee that he
will really look out for the peoples
interests?"
One thing the people want of the
next legislature is to repeal that pre-.
tendedly perpetual charter of the gas
company and other old franchises,
and give the people chance to regu-
late and control these corporations
The way it is now, the more the gas
company reduces the price, the higher
their gas bills are and the poorer gas
they get. This is not so bad as it
would be if Portland did not have a
splendid electric light system, in the
hands Of men who give people their
full moneys worth and a square deal
all the time, yet gas is also a neces-
sity, and the people have been film
TANNED long enough by the gas com
pany. And the franchise to the South
ern Pacific down Fourth street ought
to be annulled too.
These and other such matters are
of far greater consequence than
whether candidates for the legislature
sign Statement No. 1" or not.

JONATHAN BOURNE.

Mr.. Jonathan Bourne is a quite I'M
certain quantity in the senatorial race,
as he would be in the senate if he were
elected, of which there is no danger.
Most observers of the trend of senti-
ment Tidicule his ambition and pre-,
tensions, and estimate his vote as
something not worthy of much con-
sideration, but occasionally a person
will look wise and hint that the way
Jonathan will run will surprise his
competitors and others. For our part
we expect that he will get a consid-
cradle vote, perhaps ten per cent of
the whole, but that he will come no
where near obtaining the nomination.
There have, perhaps, been worse
men in Oregon politics than Mr.
Bourne, but his course of conduct in
organizing and carrying out legis-
lative holdup some years ago, prevent
ing any session and putting the state
to great annoyance and expense-not
to mention his career as a lobbyist
and reputed corruptiOnist, is too well
known and too we'll remembered for
him reasonably to expect a plurality
of votes. And if by any means or
possibility he could secure them, Sen
ator Gearin would beat him at the
polls, and the people would elect
legislature that would elect Gearin
rather than Bourne.
No, in many ways Mr.. Bourne is
a liable man, but he never will be
senator from Oregon. Let any man
contrast this foxy" spectacular, yet
secretive, plunger and marplot in poll
tics with Judge Watson, a man Of
dignity, of poise, of erudition, of can
dor, open, honorable, able and trust
worthy-and then conceive of the pos
sibility of the Republicans of Oregon
choosing Bourne instead of Watson.
No, the thing is impossible.

of delegates now have legal right
to register officially their opinions of
men who seek responsible places in
the public service. 1t is that
privilege which they are pur-
suing in this campaign; and it is the
intelligent pursuit of that privilege
which will give us better men in Off
cial life.
Hon. E. B. Watson is one of those
men. His election to the United
States senate will give him an oppor.
tunity to prove it; and that he will
faithfully and fearlessly present the
proof in the eminent service he will
render as member of that body
there can be no doubt.

A SPECIMEN OF SOUTHERN
CHIVALRY.

The young South Carolina bully
who went to the Oregonian editorial
rooms to do up the editor because the
Oregonian had shown up the gas graft
showed lack of judgment and COM
mon sense, and it is evident that he
should go to sea for few years or do
work out in logging camp, where he
would meet people of his mental cali
Der and be somewhat subject to dis
cipline. The Oregonian has done a
very useful and commendable service
in showing up the gas graft, and it's
work is highly appreciated by nearly
all the people of this city. If incl
dentally and necessarily Mr.. Adams
and Mr.. Teal were rubbed the wrong
way little, that is nothing to make
an assault about. 1t is not supposed
that these gentlemen prompted the
assault by young Johnson, or what
ever his name is, but that they have
such a fool friend and defender is
somewhat embarrassing to them. The
young South Carolinian is doubtless
one of that sort of Southern chivalry
who go out and help lynch colored
men on the slightest sort of provoca-
ton, and supposes that if he has an
imagined grievance against any one
he can relieve his pent-up feelings by
acting the swashbuckler and "doing
him up but he will find, If he stays
in this part Of the country long
enough, that this sort Of Southern bra
vado and impudence don't go" here.

Johnson had better go a little slow

one that is done up"

What more in the form of declara-
ton of policy and platform do the
voters of Multnomah or any other coun-
ty in the state of Oregon want? It-is
wholesome, patriotic and suggestive
of a high sense of duty to the public.
1t is the platform which the majority
of the voters of this county will read
lily endorse; and, when we consider
Mr.. Colwell's other eminent qualif-
cations for public service, his integ-
rity and energy and his unfaltering
fidelity to the cause of Republicanism,
we must concede that he is one of
the able men we need in the state
senate.
Mr.. Colwell is one of the leading
business men of the city. He is a
thorough and most practical man of
extensive affairs and is fully convers-
ant with the needs of Multnomah
county in particular and the state in
general. A vote for Mr.. Colwell is a
vote for one Of the best men yet
named on Multnomah countys legis-
lative ticket.

proved of such great value to small
local property holders. Through the
enactment of this measure all of the
large property owners in the city OF
Portland have been required to pay
their share of the tax, thus lessening
very materially the burden of the
small holders. The bill was strenu-

cident, and this Negro was suspected
of the act. If the animal had been a
cat, or even a dog that was not
thought much of, perhaps the Negro
would not have been murdered, but
the death of COW, worth perhaps $50
or $40, was a sufficient loss to call to-
gether a mob that demanded and took
the life of the first colored man on
whom suspicion fell.
After he was dead and the fury Of
the mob over the loss Of the neigh
boris COW had cooled down a little,
the suggestion was made that maybe
the victim did not kill the COW after
all; there was no proof that he had
done so. OF course, if it had been
positively known that he had killed
the COW, there would have been no
regrets or apologies for killing him,
but since it dawned on some of the
chivalrous minds Of the superior race
that he might have been entirely in
nocent, they felt that they might not
have treated him, and his widow and
orphaned children, though only mig
gers" quite right.
Indeed, after the mob had revenged
the cow, there arose in the Crescent
City a considerable number of voices
of white people who openly declared
that lynching a Negro for killing
cow is unjustiflable and should not
have taken place, and they hope It

will not occur again. The grand jury
was instructed to investigate the
affair, but nothing will come
of it. The sheriff will not be able to
recognize any members of the mob,
and the jury, if any of them were
brought to trial, will feel that it would
be indicate and ill-advised to convict
their neighbors and friends, and very
likely the jurors have helped lynch
Negroes themselves, if not this one.
Yet these same mob murderers
probably contribute money to send
missionaries to convert the heather,
and to preach the doctrine Of love
and fraternity on earth!
