THE COLORED PEOPLE.

If anything were needed in the way
of argument or evidence to show that
the colored citizen, male or female,
is entitled to ''life, liberty and the
pursuit of happiness"-to recognition
and esteem as human beings, rather
than as cattle-it would be furnished
forth by his, or her, audacity, temer-
ity-the recognition of the right to
live and do business in this country,
or in any country.
1t was a colored man who tried to
and nearly saved President McKin-
ley's life. 1t was a colored man, who,
this week, his clothes catching afffe,
stripped them off one by one, almost
as coolly as a cucumber-and may
live. But if he doesn't, we have no
doubt that Saint Peter will give him
the glad hand.
1t was colored men who, with cour-
age spelling martrydom, broke the
transfers strike in Chicago last sum-
mer. 1t is colored men-and they
only-who dare to defy the unions
uhap fhov ora mrOnC
They are among the best workers
you've got, and you know it. They
are mkaing their way, and have a
right to do so.
And the colored women-God bless
them. He will. If we get to heaven,
we will go right alongside of noble,
helpful, dark-skinned women, who
are just as good, true and righteous
in nature, in character, in disposition
and in deeds as Mrs. Helen Laid
Corbett, Miss Grace Watts, or Mrs.
Cleveland Rockwell dare to be.
We know of Christmas and New
Years and other times, charity and
nobility on the part of many of these
women that the board of charities
never heard of, nor would recognize.
We are a quiet, law-abiding people;
generally we vote the Republican
ticket-but we will do as we please.

ANOTHER HOPE FOR MALHEuR
Senator'S Propose irrigation, Exclud-
ing Wagon Road Lands.

Washington, Jan. 2.-Senators Full
ton and Gearin today called on the di-
rector of the geological survey to see if
it be possible to revive the Malheur ir-
rigation project, now practically dead
They hope the government will do
something that will benefit settlers
owning land in that vicinity and sug-
gested that the original project might
be reduced in size by eliminating the
wagon road land and land included in
the railroad right of way, which proved
serious obstacles in the way of the first
project.
Director Wolcott promised to give
immediate attention to this request,
and in few days will advise the sem
ators whether or not it will be prac-
tieable to remodel the project as they
have suggested. II such plan is feas-
ible, there is some hope that modified

A RIGHTEOUS kick. .

The Oregonian is to be commended
and congratulated for its fight for
cheaper and better gas. The people
of this city have been treated out
rageously in the matter of gas, both
as to price and quality, and it is quite
time a general and vigorous "kick''
was made against present methods.
Gas in this city ought not to cost
over rs cents, or at most 85 cents, pei
M, and people should not be over
charged for it either, as many en-
tirely responsible and undoubtedly
truthful people say they are, A
housewives gas bill one month will
be say $3.50 and the next month
when she has used no more, perhaps
not so much, it jumps to S., So or 81
This has become simply intolerable
and must be remedied.
Many people prefer gas to cleo
tricity for light; it is very handy tc
cook with; people want it and need
it, as well as electricity; but they are
entitled to have the best substance Of
this sort to be manufactured, and
have it as cheaply as it is obtained
in other cities.
We hope the Oregonian will keep
up it's lick" until we get better and
cheaper gas. If we can't, people had
better rely on electricity, or even &c
back to candles and peat. They ought
unanimously to refuse to be swinGled
by the gas company any longer.

berlain-though as to which one is
the best many people have not yet
decided. But as to United States sen.
ator there seems as yet no positive
strong current of opinion.
Multnomah county claims and is
entitled to this Office, and its news

as well say so, and be done with it.
Harvey w. Scott is head and shoul

bility and character-and this is say

candidates-but Mr.. Scott won't try
for the office, doesn't want it, and
probably couldn't get it if he should
try. He is right; he is bigger man,
citizen and patriot, as editor-in-

He sizes up well in all respects, and
if he should decide to become a can

Judge Webster would like the SEN

of quite sufficient caliber for that

Want Open Debate on Treaty

Washington, Jan. democrats in
congress want the policy of this govern
ment towards the republics of Central
and South America to be discussed
openly in both branches. Should the
contention of some senators that the
treaty with Santo Domingo is of such
widespread importance that it should
be made in the form of joint resolu-
ton and submitted to both houses OF
congress, prevail, the debate, it is be-
lieved, will be protracted and bitter.

Chaffee Proposes TO Use Men Already
Trained in Army.
New York, Jan. Lieutenant Gen
eral Adna R. Chaffee, chief of staff OF
the army, today expressed himself as
in hearty accord with the provisions OF
the army bill evolved by the general
staff, and now in the hands of the Sec
rotary of war.
MATTERS military in this country, "
said the general, naturally mean the
outlay of money, but l believe it will
be worth all it costs to strengthen the
military arm of the government by
creating, as contemplated in the bill,
a reserve of $4,000 men. By creating
this force of the men who have served
one term of three years and have been
honorably discharged, we shall have
the benefit of the instruction they have
received, the proficiency they have at
tanned in Workmanship and their re-
gard for discipline.
cit will be possible, with such re-
serve, to put the army on war footing
with seasoned troops. The reservists
would be enlisted for FIVE years, during
which they would be under pay and al
ways subject to call for service, but
in time of peace permitted to follow the
vocations of their choice.''

BOLD ROBBERY AT DEPOT.
The Long and Short Robbers al
II Again. Agent Locked In
Car and Two Safes Blown.

Last Wednesday night robbery
at our depot occurred which for
boldness and daring has never before
been equaled In ourcity. About one
O'Clock In the morning, while L.
Christol the night operator was ct
his desk, he was startled by crash
ing glass, and looked up TO lace q
big revolver pointed at him through
the front window, and was ordered
to hold up his hands. Another man
made bis entrance through the rear
window, first smashing the glass.
Christol was searched, butpermitted
TO keep his watch. The two men,
neither OF whom wore masks, march
ed the operator out through the
mems waiting room, where q young
man was asleep, The men aroused
him and when he made an cutlery,
smashed him up side the head With
a revolver. The agent and boy were
fastened In q box car and the agent
asked: for his pipe, II he had to be
locked.up all night, but his request
was ignored. The robbers then blew
open the office safe and took $50 In
money and left a $4,000 draft.
They then blew the express com.
psny safe, but got nothing Of value.
An incoming freight crew released
the agent and boy. The best descrip.
tion they could give was that one
vas tall and slender the other short
and heavy built. Both were smooth
shaved and wore good clothes. By
the time the local officers reached
the depot all traces OF the robbers
were lost. The long and short rob-
bers have become quite famous In
Missouri, having committed rob-
berries In a number OF cities and
counties in the past Ave or six years
and always manage to escape, and
we have no doubt this Is the same
mysterious pair.
