FOR some rensou the Democrats of Hai co« county are not nearly so eaeer for fflce this year as they always have been heretofoie.

RLWOOD has a McKinley club of 2000 em' v^hich also iudorses Mej O. xey and Hou Charles L. Henry McKinlry is capiuriug things everywhere.

THE fact thaG leading Democrats feel that their party stands no chance of ecting tie next president accounts for tne small numhet of men who are willing to take tne chances a'd lead a forlorn hope.

ABOUT a yeai Cleveland can spend ill of his time duck hunting and fi-hiug, he will have DO public JOB He will have a government vessel to steam round in, however, but Benedict will probably furnish one.

MADISON Cousty is red hot for Major C. r. Doxey for Governor. They have big Republican clubs all over the county shouting for him. One of the grand harac'eristics of the Madison County He publicans is th«t they always all stand together and that fact gives them influence and prestige.

CONTRARY to theexpre sed wishes of the eopie tbe Lebanon city council, were odood into making an electric light ontract, whereby, the city is bound np ten years to take lights of a private -poration at a high price. Cities every ere are saving money by doing their lighting. All great public monoposuch as supplying heat, light water, id transportation should be done by unicipal ownership. The people thus -rive all possible benefits at the least *t. Municipal ownership is cotring as also government ownership or eontrcl railroads, te'pgraphs and telephone.

He has been in oillce ever since with the exception of four years on salaries that only about pay running expenses for other men and yet he is reported to be a millionaire. How did he get it?

In case the strychnine does not do the business we would advise the Walla Walla authorities to send for Capt. Henry Snow, and Judge W. H.

Philosophy of Trade's Unions—It* Relation to the Scab. Communirated.

at-ly express it that at nil times such mt-n be regarded as possible informers" and traitors.

Hut let us he»r his defence. We are told that Trade unionism is an encroachment upon iudividual rignt, that the oiler, whether uuion or non-union, has rh p'iviies/e to sell labor as best suits himself. To this we replv: 1 The toiler does uot enter the market under equal conditions 2. Monopoly over land, the source of we lth, ami o?er exchange, its medium of distribution, gives to the capitalist an economic advantage in the struggle. 3. The lgal'Z't'on of privilege forces upm the unprivileged the necessity of combination in order to sustain themselves. 4. The lo*ic of events has settled the line of action it lies neither in the pray meeting nor tho polling-booth, but in mutual accord of action and deteimined self help.

Industrial combination, underjsucb cir cum- !-nees, is .s -c irv for the exploited toiler, as military organiz ition for en individual people We are in a state of industrial war, Every appeil to legislation to do aught but undo is as futile as sending a fl ig of truce the enomy to munitions of war. Tne growth of solidarity evidenced in wider federation, in leading to broaier views of the issue, and deeper sense of mutual interrelations, can but intensify this f^elini toward the "scab

Unions having already demonstrated their power to rise above the subsistence level, where otherwise they would be, it is our duty, not only to ourselves, but to our families, to enlarge the scops of union among our fellow craftsmen. Our ta9k :is to be true to the need of the hour in order to be the better fitted for the unknown needs of the struggle tomorrow. Tbe lines are being closer drawn, and the exigencies of the situation demand concert of action, both against the combined enemy and the traitor who would betray our cause by a sho-. from the rear. In such a struggle for a higher civiiiz ition— a struggle forced upon us—the industrial recreant is a traitor.

Out of conflict all progress has come. The history of the Labor Movement, its increasing self-reliance, its growing indifference to "labor politicians," its development ot sturdy independence and manhood, all alike indicate change in its methods among future possibilities. But with all this, and its accompaning wider sympathy and extension of mutual ties, the feeling of loathing toward the "scab" has intensifle 1. |To sum up, to assert egoism against mu" tual interests is unsocial and hence a denial of the mutual basis upon which equitable relation, alone can exist. Thus the "scab" is not merely unsocial, but by his acted word virtually places himself with the industrial invaders and becomes au enemy. Equal freedom caunot be strained to mean a denial of mutual interests. Social evolution is not a mere theory, but a record of facts, and no fact is more strongly brought out than that progress has resulted only in so far as mutual interests have been recognized. We do not institute them, they compel us.

Therefore, primarily as human beings, become so by social evolution, and by the social environment in which the present struggle ia conditioned, and recognizing as the goal of industrial advance the mutuality ot interests involved in the assertion of equal freedom, in strict accord with all sociological deductions, and with the utmost submission to the higher law permeating social growth, we reverently raise our hats to say prayerfully: "Away with the 'soabl* I

SENATOFT PERKINS' EXPFC'RTENEI.

Believes Trath to Be Stranger Than Fiotion—His Mining Losses. [Special Correspondence.]

SAM FRANCISCO, Feb. ID.—"I have a right to believe truth is stranger than fiction," said Senator Perkins of California when I met him not long ago. "You have seen the piay in which a man swears he could prove everything he says 'if old Bill Jones was alive.' Well, the witnoss of my experience is alive and living in San .Tose, Cal. Did I never tell you the story of the Lizzie Thompson and how we put back to port at St. John? Well, I'll tell it to you, because the climax is rather remarkable. Let mo soe. It must have been in 1854, because after I made that trip to Dublin I shipped to Liverpool and then to New Orleans and back to New York, and then I went around the Horn to California, where I arrived in 1855. Yes, it was in 1854. I was on the Lizzie Thompson, Captain Oliver Smith. We had gone from Konnobunkport to St. John, N. B., for a load of deals. The ship was well built and well calked, but the weather had sprung her a little, and she was leaking when we left port for Dublin. The men were shipped at £13 apiece—five times three—yes, that's $65. Now, they received this money when the ship left port, so if she put back for any cause the owner lost that much. Well, she was leaking so that the captain had to keep men at the pumps most of the time, and at last the men insisted that it wasn't safe and that they would go back to St. John. Tho mate was a fighter, and be had it up aud down with the men. Gracious! There wero all sorts of things going on, but I was at the wheel steoring, and I didn't see much of it. The upshot was wo went back to port, and several of the men wero arrested and locked up, and policemen wero put on tho ship. "There were three Neiv England boys aboard making their fiist voyage, and they wero pretty sick before we got back. They wanted the captain to let them go home, but ho wouldn't do it. I told them I would help them off vine night, aud I showed them how to get one of the three boats that were fastened astern and drop their bundles of clothing in. When I got around, ono of them was trying to get his chest into the boat, but I told him to stow it in tho forecastle, and wo dropped into the boat. I cut the painter, and tho next minute we were swept away by the tide. They called to us from tho ship to stop, but wo couldn't have stopped if we'd wanted to. The tide rises 28 feet there, and we were right in the current. Wo dropped down to a brig bound for Providence. I put tho three boys aboard, and then I let tho boat follow the eddy and got in to shoro. From that I worked back to the ship and crawled in through ono of tho portholes. Tho captain had como off in tho meantime, and there was great excitement. I heard the captain say, 'I know George is here,' aud the inato an-

SKXATQIt GEOIIGK PERKINS.

swer, 'No ho isn't,' and I sang out, 'Do you want me, captain?' 'There,' said tho captain, 'I know George hadn't boon away, havo you, George?' 'Yes, captain,' I said, 'I helped those three follows get away. Thoy never would have made sailors, captain, and it's better they should go.' He was very angry, and they put me in a boat, and the captain ami two policemen got in, and after they had cut loose the captain said, 'You must show us where you've taken them.' But I told him it had gone too far for that. He threatened to put me in the calaboose, though I knew he wouldn't. And so the boys got away safely, and nothing more was heard of them. "Now cornos the odd part of that adventure. Four years ago a man called at the executive office at Sacramento and asked to see the governox*. When he came in, he said, 'Are you George Clement Perkins?' I said I was. 'Do you remember helping three boys to escape from the Lizzie Thompson, Captain Oliver Smith?' I said I did. 'Well, I'm ono of those boys,' he said. And he was. JIo had gone back to the farm, gone through tho war and drifted finally out to California. 1 never knew how he identified me. He is living now in San Jose, and I saw him just the other day, 41 years from the lime helped him to run away from the Lizzie Thompson."

When I asked tho senator to tell me something of his mining experience, he said: "I never made much money in mines. I havo made my fortuno by main strength and stupidness. A man said to me not long ago: 'You'roan awfully lucky man. You have always prospered, whilo I have nevor succeeded.' I told him all I possess had been made by hard work. Jones, Mackay and Flood struck a bonanza and ecame wealthy. I started as a porter at $00 a month aud lived on $15. That is when I began to boa capitalist. I started in business with a trade of $2,500 a month and made it $50,000 a month within three years. I mado most of my money merchandising and in shipping. In mines I have mado vory little. The gold mines of California are looking as fine today as thoy over did. I know two men who are taking out $250,000 worth of ore a month, and $200,000 is clenr profit. A yoar or two ago you could have bought the mine for $200,000. There area dozen mines in California perhaps doing just as well. But eight out of ten men who go to the mines are losers. I have lost a great deal of money in mines, chlolly through furnishing supplies to minew."

I nskod the senator if he had speculated In other things than mines. "I never bought a share of stock in my life for speculation," be said. "In fact, I never gambled a dollar in my life. I was tempted very strongly one day, when I had only a dollar or two left in my pocket, and I stood by the gaming table and figured how I could multiply what I had. But I did not try it."

In the course of conversation the subject of profit Bharing came up, and the senator said he was much interested In the question because he believed the solution ot tome labor troubles was to be found in ii
