FIRST (il X IS FIRED
OPENINC BATTLE OF THE CAM
PAIGN OF 1902.
Firm Adhesion to Sound Republican
Principles Demonstrated in the
Marked Increase in the Republican
Vote in the Oregon Election.
The cause of sound Republicanism
has received no setback in the results
of the Oregon election. On the con
trary. it is perfectly apparent that Re
publican principles and policies are
stronger than ever with the people.
The fact that a Democratic governor
was elected by a small plurality does
not alter this conclusion. There was
a bitter dissention over the governor
ship inside the party. The factions
were bent upon knifing each other, and
the faction opposed to the regular Re
publican nominee made no secret of
its preference for the election of the
Democratic candidate. But the fight
went no further. The Legislature is
overwhelmingly Republican, the ma
jority on joint ballot being the larg
est in the history of the state. The
election of a Republican United States
senator is thus assured.
But It is in the congressional dis
tricts that the vote is most significant.
If it were true, as so many free trad
ers and weak-kneed Republicans have
asserted, that there is throughout the
West a feeling of dissatisfaction with
the existing condition of things and a
marked demand for tariff revision as a
means of dealing with the trust ques
tion, the vote of June 2 in Oregon
would nave shown it. The issue was
well defined. On the Democratic side
was a demand for a comp.ete over
hauling of our economic policy, for a
repeal of the Dingley tariff on the
false pretense that under that law
trusts have flourished, and for a tariff
for revenue only; in short, a straight
out challenge on the tariff issue. The
Republicans met the question square
ly. They stood by the Dingley tariff,
they stuck to the principle and policy
of protection to American labor and
industry, and on this line they stood
shoulder to shoulder. No local fac
tion quarrels were allowed to enter
into the contest, so far as the leading
national issue was concerned. On
that issue a splendid victory was won.
From her two congressional districts
Oregon sends two Republican Con
gressmen, whose total vote and plur
ality are over 14,000, or about 3,000
greater than the plurality of two
years ago.
Thus Oregon sets the pace for 1902.
She is the first of the Republican
states to answer the question whether
our magnificent tariff system is to be
turned over to the tender mercies of
free trade Democrats. Her answer
more emphatic by 3,000 votes than the
answer of 1900, is that the tariff shall
not be tinkered at all, and in no case
shall free traders be intrusted with
the job. That is the obvious and un
mistakable meaning of the big Repub
lican gains in the State of Orgeon.
Had there been any such generally
prevalent desire for a ripping open of
the Republican tariff system as the
free trade Democrats and hysterical
Republicans would have us believe ex
isted all over the country, surely we
should have had some sign from Ore
gon. A falling off in the Republican
vote would have been Joyfully pointed
to as such a sign. Then indeed would
the free traders and the nervous Re
publicans have said: “Behold, Oregon!
We told you so! Tariff revision on
the basis of for revenue only, or, at
least, a sweeping reduction of the
Dingley tariff rates, is imperatively
demanded by the country as a whole,
by Republicans as wrell as Democrats.
The lesson from Oregon is unmistak
able. Tariff revision is the order of
the day, the need of the hour." All
this and much more would now be
said if Oregon had shown any defec
tion on Republican national questions.
But as we have said, Oregon gives
large Republican gains, and the les
son is precisely the reverse of what
it would otherwise, have been. It
means that Oregon wants the tariff
let alone; wants the Republican party
to “keep on letting it alone," in the
characteristic words of Senator
Hanna.
In this gratifying result especial
pleasure is felt and particular pride
taken by the American Protective
Tariff league. This organization, in
accordance with its invariable custom,
devoted its money and its work direct
ly to the significant and important
campaign in the first of the Congres
sional elections of 1902. Beginning
more than four months ago, the Tariff
League has industriously bent its ener
gies and utilized its resources with
a view to affecting the outcome of
the June election in Oregon. Realiz
ing the fact that the Republican cause
in that State labored under the serious
handicap of mugwump and free-trade
defection on the part of the so-called
Republican dailies of the metropolitan
city of Portland, the Tariff League
took especial measures to offset this
hostile influence, and by means of its
educational machinery made sure of
reaching the voters of Oregon in the
most effective possible manner.
Hence, we say, no one is prouder or
gladder of the result in Oregon than
is the American Protective Tariff
league.
Repetition of 1893 Not Wanted.
The farmer knows that in days of
prosperity it is nice to have fat steers
Just as he knew in the soup days of
the Wilson bill it was expensive to
have cattle that ate feed and brought
nothing in the market. If the farmer
is to be confronted by a serious de
mand for a lower tariff on cattle he is
not likely to embark more largely in
rattle raisin*. Ills beef steers cannot
be raised in a summer ami sold in the
fall. He must bo sure of the condi
tions to prevail In the country for at
least three or four years before he will
come to the rescue. Fortunately there
is little danger of a disturbance of the
protection afforded the farmer now,
and he may increase his herds with
the reasonable assurance that he will
have a market for what he raises.
Under our tarifT the meat supply of
the country must be raised in the
United States, and the American
farmer must be encouraged to keep
up with the demand for beef cattle.
We never want to see again a decline
in herds like that which came after
1893.—Carson City (Mich.) Gazette.
WHAT OF THE WAGE EARNER?
A Question Which Free-Traders Per
sistently Overlook.
The plea of the free-traders is that
the necessity for protecting our indus
tries has passed away. They claim
that our industries have passed their
"infancy” and are now lusty enough
to stand alone. They point out that
the enormous trusts or consolidations
are able to meet the world in any mar
ket on even terms, and that it is
wicked to tax the people in order to
give them larger profits. And no jus
tice loving citizen could deny such a
charge if the conditions were as the
free-traders state them.
In the first place, the free-traders
are mistaken in their claim that the
industries of America have been ab
sorbed by the trusts. There is no in
dustry engaged in by any tariff-pro
tected trust, which is monopolized by
that trust. To-day. for example, more
steel is being manufactured by the
many small and independent compan
ies than by the big trust. It is as neces
sary to protect these small concerns
as it ever was—necessary not only as
a means of keeping them alive, but
also as a means of continuing the bet
ter pay which American workmen re
ceive in every protected industry. This
is a phase of the question which the
free-traders seldom take into1 con
sideration. They are free enough with
talk and opinions as to the effect ot
free-trade on the trusts and on prices,
but they dodge the question of what is
to become of the American working
man when he is put into direct com
petition with his underpaid European
fellow. It is certain that one of two
conditions will exist: we must pre
serve the markets of America for
Americar-made goods at prices which
enable the manufacturers to pay good
wages, or we must force these manu
facturers, through opening the door
to foreign competition, to put the
wages down to the European standard.
We can think of nothing more unpleas
ant to contemplate than such a fall in
the pay of American labor. And we
can think of nothing more disinter
csted. and, at the same time, more
suicidal than a laboring man voting
to overthrow the policy of protection.

The Tug of War.
A Favorable Forecast.
Turning to political conditions
which it must be remembered in tht
light of experience are closely related
to business prosperity, the forecast in
that direction also is favorable. The
election of an opposition house next
fall would be obstructive to national
legislation after March 4 next, but the
strong probability is that the present
control of all branches of the govern
ment will be unchanged for a long
time. There has been no tariff tink
ering to derange industry, arrest new
enterprises and upset business calcu
lations. The Diugley tariff is per
forming its appointed work well and
there should be no indulgence of the
spirit that is feverishly eager to med
dle with all tariffs on academic—an
other word for impractical—grounds.
A vigorous investigation of the trusts
by the United States government is
at hand, a fact that pleases the people
and will bring about positive and salu
tary results. In a word, all the signs
point to additional years of high pros
perity.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Not Much Campaign Capital.
The American people want none of
the policies of populism nor will they
countenance any flre-ln-the-rear efforts
against American soldiers. So far as
the issues to be made of the tariff and
trusts, with the great benefits accruing
from the protective tariff system visi
ble on every hand, and with the Re
publican administration actively prose
cuting the trusts which are operating
in spite of a Republican anti trust law,
there does not appear to be much cam
paign capital offered here either for
Democratic solace.—Galesburg (111.)

TIIE SUNDAY SCJIOOL.
LESSON III. JULY 20; EXODUS 20;
1^.-1/—TEN COMMANDMENTS.
Golden Text—“Thou Shalt Love Thy
Neighbor as Thyself”—Matthew 19:
19—The Lesson Shows Our Duties
to All Men.
Last week we studied the first table of
the Law. our duties to God. This week
we study the second table of the Law,
our duties to man. Both lessons make up
the second lesson God taught the Israel
ites In the desert training school. The
first table is the basis of the second; the
last six commandments flow from the
first four. If God Is to be revered and
obeyed as our Father, man is to be loved
and cherished as a brother.
I. Fifth Commandment. The Duty of
honoring Parents.—V. 12. What Is Com
manded? 12. "Honor thy father and thy
mother.” "That word ‘honor1 means
more than mere obedience—a child may
obey through fear. It means love, grati
tude, respect.”—Moody. .
Why Is It commanded? G1 Because
“parents are kings by divine right.
Theirs Is "a natural authority which is a
reflection from God's own. and Is sus
tained in Its just exercise by the will of
God.”—Dykes. <2> Because parents are
wiser than children, even ignorant pa
rents usually having a wisdom gained
from experience which Is more valuable
than the school learning their children
may have gained. tS> Because most pa
rents do more for their children than
the latter can ever repay. <4' ‘"r,hat l_y
days may be long.” Dutiful children are
free from the passions and vices that so
often stunt the growth and shorten tho
life.
How can wo honor our Parents, m ny
prompt anil cheerful obedience; »-* >
caring for them lovingly In poverty or
sickness; (31 by the little tokens of re
spect that the aged prize so highly.
II. Sixth Commandment. The Duty of
Regard for Life-V 13. What i» Forbld
den? 13. “Thou shalt not kill. The K.
V. gives the thought more accurately,
“Thou shalt not do murder.” Killing is
sometimes Justifiable; the Bible itself on
joins the killing of men for puntshment.
as when blasphemy had been committed,
and of animals, as for sacrifice or to put
dangerous beasts out of the way. But
murder is always wrong. Murder is kill
ing with hatred in one's heart, or care
lessly assenting to slaughter. That is
what the sixth commandment forbids.
How can we ohey’ (1) by loving all
men "Whoso hateth his brother Is a
murderer.” (2) By being “our brother s
keepers.” No one is free from blood
guiltiness who does not do what he can
to save life and prolong it. Adulterating
food is murder. So is selling intoxicating
liquor. So Is the maintaining of “sweat
shops.” or dark and filthy tenements. (3)
Bv doing what we can to abolish war. (4>
By carefully preserving and strengthen
ing our own bodies.
III. Seventh Commandment. The Duty
of Purity.-V. 14. What is Forbidden?
14. “Thou shalt not commit adultery. ’
Christ Himself explained this seventh
commandment as forbidding the impure
thought and desire as well as the impure
act itself, and the law Is to be understood
in its wider sense. It Includes also in its
prohibition whatever leads to impurity,
such as licentious books and pictures.
Why is it Forbidden? Because no sin,
not even intemperance, so rapidly ruins a
man. body. mind, and soul. this vf1ln
Moreover, it destroys the family, which
is the basis of the State.
How can we Obey? If impurity already
has a hold on or.e. the only way he can
conquer it is 111 to hate the sin. L) to
recognize Christ ns his only Savior from
it; (3» not to see how close an approach
to it he can safely make, but to avoid it
altogether: and (4) to fill his life so full
of Christlike labors that there will he no
room in all his twenty-four hours for
anything else.
IV Eighth Commandment. The Duty
of Honesty.—V. 15. What is Forbidden?
15 "Thou shalt not steal." Thou shalt
not steal time. Procrastinator. Thou
shalt not steal reputation. Gossip. Thruj
shalt not steal faith. Infidel. Thou shalt
not steal hope. Pessimist.
How can we Obey? We must keep our
selves from little thefts, knowing that
they lead to greater ones. We must count
it stealing to take anything even with the
owner's consent, If the owner does not
know to what he is consenting, as when
a dealer names all the good points of a
horse, leaving his customer to discover
the bad ones.
V Ninth Commandment. The Duty of
Truth-telling—V. lfi. What is Forbid
den? 1G. "Thou shalt not bear false wit
ness against thy neighbor.” We bear
false witness (1) In saying about a man
what we know to be untrue; (2) in keeping
silent when others say it; i3> In passing
It on to others, by word of mouth or In
print; (4) in "damning with faint praise”;
(5) In refusing to say what we can for a
man; (6) in needlessly repeating stories
derogatory to others, even if they are
true: (7) In making statements about oth
ers that we do not know to be true; (S)
in using half-truths wrhere we should
speak the whole truth; ifl) In twisting the
truth bv the wrong emphasis; (10) in be
lieving a man guilty before he is proved
not to be innocent.
rule is to say nothing on earth we would
not have repeated in heaven, and nothing
behind a man s back we would not say
before his face. (2) Make a practice of
praising others. (3> It is wise not to talk
much about others. (4) The supreme
cure for false witness-bearing is to fix
our minds on the true witness-bearing.
Christ said that His disciples ere His
witnesses. Now it is plain that no one
can be a true witness for Christ and a
false witness against his neighbor.
VI. Tonth Commandment. The Duty of
Contentment.—V. 17. What Is Forbid
den? 17. “Thou shalt not covet . . .
any thing that is thy neighbor's.” Covet
ousness is not the desire for more; that
desire is at the basis of all progress and
civilization, and it Is right to seek to
satisfy It. Covetousness is the desire to
possess what another person has.
How can wo Obey? (1) Get at one with
God. Learn that God's will for you Is
best. It makes you poor, thbn welcome
poverty; or sick, then let the couch be
Joyful; or lonely, then exult in solitude.
I.earn to say with all your heart, anu in
any Gethsemane, "Thy will be done.”
VII. The Covenant Ratified. The Ten
Commandments tvere the Law, but they
became, by the solemn ratification of the
people, a covenant between Israel and Je
hovah. This momentous act being accom
plished, Moses, at God's command, with
drew into the mount for forty days and
nights, to receive the stone tablets of the
law. and the further revelations and
counsels God had for him.

GRIM OLD NEWGATE PRISON.
Scene of Much Crime and Misery Con
demned to Destruction.
Grim, forbidding old Newgate
prison, which in the course ef its cen
tury and a half ot existence has housed
so many men and women condemned
to destruction, has been condemned to
destruction Itself so many times and
still remained undisturbed In all its
ugliness and dinginess that it would
not be surprising if any further an
nouncement of the historic prison's
impending doom weie received with
polite incredulity similar to that
which greeted the young man’s cry
of “Wolf!"
However, such an announcement
must be made, for it has now been
decided definitely that the long-de
ferred destruction and rebuilding of
the famous jail shall begin May 24. Al
ready the wardens are beginning to
move. Temporary cells are being built
in the "Old Bailey”—the scarcely less
famous court house which adjoins
Newgate—where the prisoners now
awaiting trial can be kept, and on the
day mentioned the soot-blackened jail
house where Jonathan Wild, Jack
Sheppard, Mrs. Brownrigg and many
other criminals almost as famous
were confined and executed will be at
tacked by an army of workmen, the
great blocks of granite of which it is
built will be loosened one by one, and
so one of the most interesting remains
of old London will pass away.—Lon

NEW TRANSVAAL STAMPS.
King’s Head Replaces Boer Legend
—Orange River Coat of Arms.
While peace negotiations were
pending in South Africa, the new
colonial government went ahead just
as if the war was over and the terri
tory already at peace. The Trans
vaal government issued a set of post
age stamps, which are in great de
mand by collectors. There are ten va
rieties, each of a different color, rang
ing in price from one cent to $2.50.
All of the stamps bear the head of
King Edward, facing to the left, in
an oval within a finely beaded frame,
in gray black. Above the head is a
crown and at the foot the word
"Transvaal.” The one-cent stamps,
are a bluish-green, and the colors of
the others range from a scarlet to
orange, olive green and purple.
The British Colonial Office, mean
time, is considering a new coat of
arms design by Lockwood Kipling,
father of the poet and novelist, for
the new Orange River Colony, which
was formerly the Orange Free State.
The coat of arms consists of a plain
heraldic shield bearing an orange tree
and above it a Tudor rose; on the
ground are waved lines, the symbol of
water, typifying the name Bloemfon
tein. Two springboks support the
shield.
EXPLAINS PELEES ACTIONS.
Views of Prof. Verrill on the Recent
Eruption.
Some of the phenomena attending
the destruction of St. Pierre have
been difficult to explain, especially
the sheet of flame that seems to have
accompanied or closely followed the
violent explosion of gas.
Prof. Verrill of Yale states his view
to be that the heat is sufficient to
cause the dissociation of hydrogen
and oxygen from water coming sud
denly into contact with the lava in the
crater, and that in the case of sea
water chloride would be dissociated
from sodium.
These gases suddenly ejected with
great violence and exploding in the
air above the crater would produce
the effects manifested on so great a
scale at Martinique.
The people were killed by the sud
den explosion of a vast volume of
hydrogen and oxygen; and this ac
counts for the sudden burning of flesh
and clothes, as well as of buildings
and of vessels in the roadstead.
The chlorine combining with some
of the hydrogen would produce hydro
chloric acid, which is poisonous and
suffocating and would quickly kill all
those not destroyed by the first ex
plosion.
RELATIONS STILL STRAINED.
Little Incident in Church Did Not
Tend to Unite Lovers.
Growing out of a misunderstanding
in a figure in the german, strained re-'
lations existed between Miss Guard
and Carruthers. Next morning in
church, Carruthers was thinking over
the situation, planning some delicate
means of mollifying his sweet foe.
While mentally perfecting the details
of the scheme, he felt an insect on
the back of his neck.
Steadily the thing advanced, and he
could almost feel the touch of each
separate leg as it marched over the
sensitive skin. His first impulse was
to smash the creature then and there,
but he took a momentary pleasure in
seeing how long he could endure the
sensation with masterly stoicism.
At last he made a fierce backward
grab for the marauding bug, and
found in his hand the dainty feather
ed hat of Miss Guard, whose pretty
head had been bent in prayer.
The strained relations still exist.

"Spoonerisms,” writes Victor Smith
in the New York Press. My old
friend, William Braddon, knows the
professor very well, and tells some
gunny stories of that eccentric genius,
whose fame as a ludicrous word twist
er has spread all over Europe. When
he came out in chapel the first line
of the missionary hymn. “From
Greenland’s Icy Mountains,” he con
torted it thus: "From Iceland’s
greasy mountains.” Another hymn he
announced as "Kinkering Konga their
titles take.” At a special service, see
ing some women standing at the back
of the church waiting to be seated,
he rushed down the aJsle and address
ed the ushers as follows: "Gentlemen,
gentlemen, sew these ladies into their
•sheets.” Being asked at dinner what
he would have, he promptly replied,
“Pigs, fleas.”
