Tho republicans liave cause to feel well satisfied with vesterdav's elections'. The results are more satistactorytbnn ever the most sanguineanticipated. In every btate where national issues entered into the campaign the republican ticket has been elected by majorities equal to the phenomenal one9 of last year. The most notable triumph lias been the carrying of Maryland by the republicans against the most vehement effort of Senator Gorman and Ins henchmen. Bossism in that state has received a - slap the sting of which will linger a long time. Ohio has justified the confidence the people of the country placed in her and has rolled up a majority for Bushnell which bids fair to pass the 100,000 mark. As was predicted even by repnblicans.Ta'innany has triumphed in New York City, but the rest of the state lias gone grandly re publican. The slafemrntf" made so frpoly by democratic paper) that the majorities this year would be greatly reduced, have not been verified and the disgust of the people for the policies of the present ad ministration is plainly seen. In Ohio, where the tariff was distinctly an issue, the triumph for protection was a great one. There is nothing within the realms of probability which will change the sentiment of the. American people be tween now and next November and the election of yesterday is but a continua tion of the tidal wave begun two years '.ago and which will not reach its full height till the election of '96. The knell -of democracy is sounded, il only remains . to carry oat the funeral ceremonies. WHAT IT MEANS. The overwhelming triumph for repub lican principles in the late election is in -accordance with the memorable utter ance of 'President Lincoln that '.'You can fool a part of the people all the time, or all of the people a part of the time; but you cannot fool all of the peo pie all the time." The people of the United States have been badly fooled daring the past three years, but there are unmistakable signs that a lesson has been learned, the effect of which will not soon be forgotten. In the minds of intelligent observers the belief has been strong that the republicans would re peat the triumph of two years ago and last year, and this confidence has been fully justified. The United States has had an experi ence with democratic tariff tinkering, and the experience has been anything bnt a pleasant one. With a bankrupt treasury and a demoralized commercial condition throughout the country, the democratic party went to the polls with a (vain hope that some accident of poli tics might secure an endorsement of its policies; but the result shows that the country is through with the European-loving administration, and longs for the return to power of the party that believes in protection to American in dustries, a solid system of finances, and a foreign policy which means that the dignity of the United States will be pre served abroad and at home, no matter what the inconvenience or cost may be. The confidence of the country is re stored. The manufacturer can lay plans for a season of renewed prosperity. The woolgrower of Eastern Oregon can en large his flocks, well knowing that the unjust discrimination which has been practiced against him will be allowed no more. The republican party in the past has proven itself able to cope with the difficulties of government presented to it, and the same wise actions may be expected to continue in the future. Un der a republican administration both democrats and republicans will be better off than under democratic rule, and the country as a whole will be more wisely governed. To every citizen who is freed from party predjudice the results of Tuesday's elections ' cannot fail of. bringing satisfaction. THEX PASSING OF THE TURK. The situation in Turkey is grave. After, a period too long of waiting the . European powers have given warning to the sultan that protection must be given to Christians in Armenia, and that law and order must again be maintained in that portion of the Turkish empire. The task of the sultan is daily becoming more difficult. He has delayed and tem porized, making promises and breaking them, till the civilized nations consider bis word of less account than the prom ised faith of the Carthagineans. It is j probable that things have gone too far fpr the old order of government long to con tinue. Foreign complications are not all that are bothering the head of the Turk ish government. " Domestic dissensions have arisen which threaten to tear the empire from within, while the pieces will fall into the hands ot the powers on the outside. . The members of the sul tan's army and navy, who ' long have been waiting for a chance to revolt against their decrepit master.see an opportunity in the present complication to gain their desired end. The soldiers and even the attaches of the sultan in the imperial palace are showing signs of revolt and today's dispatches convey the intelli gence that an outbreak is liable at any moment to occur among those upon w.hcm the saltan is most dependent for safety. It is now beyond doubt that before the century shall close, the map of Europe will appear different from what it does today. There is no allay strong enough to support the tottering ruin of govern ment, once so powerful, but now so weak and it is doubtful if any nation would want the task even if it were able. The present situation may be comprom ised and the cringing sultan given a longer lease of life, but the body politic is too feeble to regain its lost vitality and at the best the dav of dissolution is but a short while delaved. When the Turkish government shall have fallen great drama of history will be closed and the crescent placed above St. Sophia in 1453, will be replaced by the standard of some other nation. The passing of the Turk, while df historical- importance, will create little sympathy from the world at large. . , ' THE DALLES' FUTURE: SYMPATHY FOR ARMENIANS. The Duke of Westminster has written to "invoke the evmpathy of the great republic with the suffering Armenians, now in dire distress from, treatment re ceived and still receiving at the hands of the Turkish government, in order that there may be found some hope for them, some .guarantee for their lives, 'thsir faith, their prosperity and for the honor of their women, for all of which there is absolntely none at the time of which I write." We earnestly hope some way will be found by the powers that be to respond to this appeal, that all the civilized gov ernments of the world will so unite, that the "unspeakable Turk" may be res trained from a continuance of these in iquities, and that the guarantees that they shall not be repeated, shall be worth something. The congressional contest has opened in earnest. If the ratio of increase in budding candidates keeps up with the number that have been announced the last "reek, there will be almost as many candidates as delegates to vote for them. The extreme eastern portion of the state is prolific in aspirants. Umatilla county has Judge Fee; Morrow presents her favorite son, Congressman Ellis; Baker county wants John L. Rand and now Union county comes to the front and says John A. Wright, its representa tive in the legislature, would make a good congressman. He is championed by the East Oregon Republican, who says of him, "He is one of the brightest republicans in Oregon and the party would make no mistake in nominating him for this honored trust." As a nom ination next spring is equivalent to an election in June, the office will not go begging. There are several counties yet to bear from, not among the least being Multnomah and Wasco. The Goldendale Sentinel has the fol lowing article upon the future of The Dalles, which is written in a friendly vein, and enables us to see ourselves as others see ns: We had hoped that the little squib re garding the future of The Dalles would not only be amusing but contain suffi cient facts that would make the citizens of that community realize that the op portunities to make The Dalles a large city may soon bo gone forever. The fact is The Dalle s is now so prosperous it is hard for some to sde wty Bhe. should not always be so. As long as she is at the head of steamboat navigation and can pay prices that other shipping points cannot, thus bringing trade to ber that would naturally go elsewhere, she will thrive and grow; but the Columbia will be opened clear through, for as yet but two counties, Klickitat and Wasco, are receiving any benefits from the river. Therefore the time is not far distant when it will not Dav to haul wheat to The Dalles, for nearer markets will offer such prices that the farmers cannot afford to o that distance. We aeree with the Chronicle that "It is true there are Bome things The Dalles could do to increase its commercial im portance, such as the building of some new roads and the repairing of oldones." This is good as far as it goes, but our citizens will not be content to sit idly by and during their whole lives have wheat hauled thirty miles over a rocky mountain to The Dalles. If we can haye nothing else, a wagon road can be built to Lyle that will be free of boulders and sand and on easy grades. What The Dalles must do to become a shipping point of importance for all time is to build branch lines into the interior, one tapping the country north of her and the other south. These would make of her no mean shipping point and would bring to her each coming year increased wealth and prosperity. As we have said, The Dalles is letting the opportunities pass and perhaps has already done so. This applies especially to the loss in the near future of the major portion of the trade of Klickitat county. We are doing what we can to bring greater prosperity to our com munity, and if we succeed in having a railroad built from Lyle into this valley and for that reason The Dalles is notable, in the near future, to handle the im mense product of Klickitat county, she will have no one to blame but herself. It was in her power to inaugurate a movement which would build a road from The Dalles, pass through the Klick itat valley and tap the Northern Pacific,' and our citizens would have as sisted her in this enterprise. If the Chronicle classes us for one moment among the "worst enemies of The Dalles, it knows not what it does. We would like to see The Dalles as pros perous in the future as she is at present. We have only good wishes for her wel fare, for we share to some extent in her prosperity.'' She is our ' near neighbor and a municipality of our sister state, whereof the editor of this sheet was a resident for almost a quarter of a cen tury ; and why, therefore, should we be an enemy of her whose drowsiness is stunting her future growth. What we wish is that Goldendale were as well located for a great city as the village at the head of steamboat navigation on the Columbia. COMMENT ON THE . MARLBOROUGH VANDERBILT-WEDDING. East Oregonian : Now that the Dur rant trial is ended, Murderer Holmes has been convicted, Jim Corbett's and Fitzsimmon's jaws have ceased to wag, the readers of daily newspapers have but one thing to cause "that tired feeling" and that is the approaching wedding of an American filly named Vanderbilt to a descendant of a worn-oat race of thor oughbreds and good-for-nothings. When that is over we hope to rise up to. the consideration of respectable and decent things once more, ; - Evening Telegram: 'When' the duke pterins away with his bride and her ducats a brief respite from Vnnderbilt ism may reasonably be looked for by the readers of American newspapers. In ventive genius has not yet (thank heaven !) devised a means of keeping the peoole asbore in constant couimumca tion with the ocean liners, S3, until the newly-wedded couple reach the other side their movements mast go unre corded. And in common-sense circles on both sides of the broad Atlantic there will not be overwhelming grief if that particular steamship smashes a propeller or does something else to delay her trip as long as would be combatible with the safety and reasonable comfort of her passengers. Spokesman Review: What vulcar curiosity this Marlborough-Vanderbilt wedding is calling into display! But since it affords entertainment for the shallow and the frivolous, and the recip ients mistake it for homage, and since all concerned seem to be happy, why let go as evidence of a great and growing civilization, which always carries with it a lot of folly and ill-bred ostentation. The young man and his sweetheart who plight their troth with little fuss, and aro wedded with email ceremony, ex hibit infinitely better taste than is being exhibited by the duke and his "Mies Kilmansegsr," and the odds are they will I oe nappier ana a aeai more useiui to society.

EDITORIAL COMMENT ON TUES DAY'S ELECTION. Dr. I. Hunter Wells writes from Seoul to the Medical Record under date of August 19th, 1895, in reference to the epidemic of cholera there. In one month there were 6000 deaths, in a population of 350,000. This ratio applied to New brk City would be about 8000 in one week. The type of cholera was not of the most virulent kind, and from his bbervation Dr. Wells thinks that ten out of a hundred persons will recover out of every hundred attacked with no med icine whatever, and by the use of the ordinary old-fashioned drugs and treat ment, about 50 per cent, will get well, while with the use ot modern methods aud the drug Salol, in which he puts great faith, 90 per cent, will recover. The doctor laments that only a limited upply of this drug was to be had, and feels certain that many more could have been saved with it. Patrick Henry Winston, an attorney of Spokane and formerly United States attorney for Washington, has written a book entitled "American Catholics and the A. P. A." The American News Company has refused to handle the pub lication, on the ground of not wishing to mixed np in this rather delicate question. Mr. Winston has declared war against the News Company and an exciting contest is in the wind. The author comes from a fighting family and named for one of America's most dar ing men, so the conflict will not by any means lack energy on the part of Mr. Winston. The book is creating quite a sensation in Spokane. Senator Sherman, who has lived lon ger and seen more of American politics than probably any other statesman now living, made tho following remark in a recent speech at Massillon, Ohio: "I believe if the republican policy since the war had been maintained uninterrupted by the present administration, and the McKinley law had remained in force, subject to such changes as time proved necessary, the recent financial disturb ance would not have occurred and the entire interest-bearing debt of the United States would have been paid in full before the co of the century." Portland Telegram : It looks as if the republican managers bad decided . to make their fight next year on the tariff, and on that issue they should be met by their ancient enemy. Let the ' silver mania be relegated to populism, whence it sprang and where it properly be longs, and let the republicans be met fairly and squarely upon the ground of their own choosing. They have not yet evolved any definite plan as to how they shall open "the conflict, and it might be just as well to defer democratic action until they do. Spokesman -Review: The significant feature of this morning's election news is that everybody expected it. Every body knew the country was heartsick and weary of democratic misrule, and everybody knew that the people were aching to get at the ballot box and ex press their condemnation along with their renewed pledge of fealty to tho re publican party. In New York Hill has been rebuked ; in Maryland, Gorman ; in Ohio, Brice; in Kentucky, Carlisle ; and Cleveland everywhere. Tammany alone saved its tiger skin, and that by appealing to all that is bad, vicious, low toned and corrupt in the slums of New York City. The people want their po litical affairs directed by the republican party, and they are very inacb in ear nest about it. East Oregonian : The news the East Oregonian prints today is reliable and very interesting to republicans, who seem to have carried the nay at the polls yesterday in the East. However, there is a little consolation in the news for democrats. Tammany having carried New York City, the democrats made tains in Massachusetts and "saved old Virginia." Gorman and Maryland seem to be snowed under with republican ballots. Maryland democrats having taken the advice of the Baltimore Sun and severely rebuked bossism and Gor man's undemocratic actions . in - the United States senate when the Wilson bill was before that body. The Republicans Win. R. B. May, the commercial traveller well known in The Dalies, evidently has a good opinion of this city and its prospects. Mr. May travels all over the northwest and has abundant opportunity to observe the growth of different places. While in Astoria recently he unburdened himself to a reporter for the Astoriau and gave the following good report of. The Dalles : Mr. May has just come from The Dalles where he sola on this trip orders for $10,000 worth of goods which his firm, Mason, Ehrman & Co., hav had to ruth all hands to fill. He says that the ap pearance of matters in The Dalles re minds him of times in the 60'e when the great pack trains were carrvinz the iin mouse loads of freight to the mines and and money w as plenty as water The merchants and business men of The Dalles are ou the eve of the realization of their long cherished hope of getting their products to tide wafer without nreakliiir bulk and at . tint lnwesfc v.ot mi . ... j-iiey are toaay nnierjin? an immense warehouse in which th farmers haveur rnugeu 10 etore ineir wheat until it can be shipped to Astoria direct. Thn nrir of wheat has advanced to fortv-six cents per btiPh-l. and everv man who pun nna sibly ottord it is holding his wheat. Tho Cascade locks will be ready for the first boat by January 1st. and with the com pletion. of Astoria's railroad in the near future direct connection will be had with the interior and tide water at Astoria. Produce raised in the river vallev and in the immediate vicinity of The Dalles will be floated down to Astoria on barges while that further in the interior will take the railroad. Ibe people in and about The Dalles are enthusiastic over Astoria as a ship ping port, and the farmers realize that the prices received for their year's labor will be augmented by just the amount they can save in transportation and port charges, and when farmers can hold their wheat in warehouses it is good evi dence that all other classes cf business will come to the front as well. Mr. May re-iterates that the people of Eastern Oregon fully realize the ioaDor- tance to them and the state at large of ootn water nna rail connection with As toria and it is not amiss here to add that Astorians should not and will not be be hind in joining Eastern Oregon in a fit ting celebration of the opening of the Cascade locks. W2 OMEN'S FACES Major Fost and the Locks. Even Howard county, in Maryland, the home of United States Senator Gib son, was carried by the republicans. Truly, there is lamentation and loud weeping in the camp of the democrats. Democracy weeping for her victories be cause they are not.' Now comes the good news' that Ken tucky has gone republican. Bradley's majority is conceded by the democrats to be anywhere from 6,000 to 10,000. The legislature is in doubt. The repub licans have won more than they dared hope for in Tuesday's election. Ken tucky, Maryland and New Jersey were the only states where the battle was presumed to be close, and the party of protection has carried the three by sub stantial majorities. Should the Ken tacky legislature prove to be republican, there willj.be absolutely nothing to com fort the hosts of democracy. For the first time in many years Ohio is to be represented in the United States senate, as she should be, by two republi can senators. Millionaire Brice has re ceived notice to quit and Foraker will take a place by Sherman's side. Thus it is time brings its own healing and the factional war between Ohio republicans has ceased. Sherman and Foraker have both triumphed and the country re joices with them. President Cleveland showed remarka ble foresight in issuing his Thanksgiv ing proclamation before the election. Had he waited till the returns were in, he would hardly have the courage to re tarn thanks. As it is, the people of the United States have great cause for thankfulness. The (rood sense of the country has asserted itself in no uncer tain manner. The result of yesterday's electious was anxiously awaited by the people of The Dalles. News came last evening that New York had gone republican by over 60,000 majority, but it was not until the arrival ot this morning's Oregonian that complete returns were obtainable. The arrival of the train from Portland was awaited with a great deal of interest by local politicians ; some weiedemocrats but the majority of the crowd of tho other faith. The returns show that New York has gone republican by nmprities ranging from 60,000 to 75,000. Massa chusetts is in line with a republican ma jority of 63, 050; N ew Jersey goes repub lican by 29,000 ; Pennsylvania by 150,000 ; Maryland repudiates Gorman and swings into line with lu.uuu republican majority. It was an act of kindnMs on the part Illinois gives the graud old party du.UUU j 0 tlie republicans to allow the demo- Major Post, who has just returned from a tour with Receiver McNeil, while in Pendleton submitted to a newspaper interview. The Tribune of yesterday contained the following: Major Post, who accompanied Major McNeil on his trip, is in temporary charge of. the government work in this state, having been instrncted to look after the improvements until the arrival of Captain Symons' successor. In speak ing of the Cascade locks. Major Post said that the work would not be completed for a year or so. Considerable material will have to be removed from the en trance to the locks. Everything consid ered. Major Post says, boats will not be able to pass through for a year or so. Speaking of the further improvement of Ynquina bay, Major Post said that the report of the 'engineers bad been filed and that he was not in a position to talk about the matter. In his statement that tho boats will not pass through the locks for a year or more, we sincerely hope that Major Post is in error.. The contractors at the locks are free to state as their belief that the locks will be sufficiently completed by early spring to admit of the passage of boats. Should this not be the case there will be universal disappointment throughout Eastern Oregon. The weather has been and still is of the kind most suitable for rapid work and those who have visited the locks recently are satisfied with the manner in which progress is being made. Several months ago it was thought possible that boats would pass through the canal by Christ mas. This is seen now to be clearly im possible, but there seems to be r.o ex cuse, unless something should happen between now and then, to prevent a boat coming from Portland to The Dalles by March let. Should Major Post proved to be right'au explanation is duo from some one. and wither with time ; inc oioom ot toe rose is only known to the healthy woman's cheeks. The nerv ous strain caused by the ailments and pains peculiar to the sex, and the labor and worry of rearing a family, can often be traced by the lines in the woman's face. Dull eyes, the sallow or wrinkled face and those "feelings of weakness" have their rise in the derangements and irrejrularitiea peculiar to women. The functional de rangements, painful disorders, and chronic weaknesses of women, can be cured with Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. For the youngr girl just entering womanhood, for the mother and those about to become mothers, and later in "the chanjre of life,", the Prescription " is just what they need ; it aids nature in preparing the system for the change. It's a medicine prescribed for thirty years, in the diseases of women, by Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Insti tute.at Buffalo, N. V. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription will cure the chronic inflamma tion of the lining membranes which cause such exhausting drains upon the system. It cures nervous prostration, sleeplessness, faintness, nervous debility and all disorders arising from derangement of the female organs ana I unctions. Mrs. Jbjwih Williams, of Mohawk.

The distiict conference of The Dalles district of the Columbia River Confer ence began its session at the M. . church last evening, with a 6ermon by Rev. J. M. Dennison of Hood Elver. The sermon was full of interest and spiritual fervor. This morning's session opened at 8 :30 with a prayer service led by 6. V. White. The forenoon session was taken up with reports 'from the charges represented. The reports in dicated prosperity in all lines of church work.
