FROM J'OLl-
One of the editorial writers of the
Council III uffs Nonpareil in endeavor
iur to follow instructions to diop
politics now and write about some
thing else, turns in the following
copy, which fairly indicates the con
dition of the Average editor's mind
as he attempts to turn bis thoughts
from the campaign to other matters:
"The discussion of the Westminster
confession of defeat is being sub
jected to a revival of business such
ns was not known four years ago.
Among numerous paramount issues
brought out by the leading church
controversialists is the question
whether the confession's teaching
concerning the salvation of the in-
fant Industries is such as conforms
with the plain declaration of Inde
pendence and of inspired writ. If
this is true, then many of the presby.
teries in the outlying precincts will
find that in a'.I the rites and cere
monies the ground of their argument
was among the territory gained
under the democratic administration
of Jefferson. The proposed revision
would make such changes in tho
tariff ot faith as to cause many to
lose their trust in all the statements
of religious belief, although just such
trusts existed under Cleveland as
-exist now. The fathers of the church
never-held th.it the doctrine of pre
destination followed the flag or that
the statement in their creed had that
sort of a clear ring which exists in
Tammany. So far as the doctrine of
salvation being free at the ratio of
1(1 to 1 it is evident that the theolog
ical statements cannot show where
oven the elec t can break into the
solid south so long as they nssociiite
with republicans und sinners. The
church mut recognize the consent of
the governed or else fiee trade and
nnil) in.; love will be trampled under
the iron heel of imperialism. So
f ir us the l;a.l;st;i of these infants is i
concerned there fire those who hold
the only rcnudy to be to Hjueeze all
the water out of the slock and thus
destroy Hint very trust in the future,
which is itcognizi-d by nil faiths.
The expansion of the church neees.-i-iutcs
such a change in customs and
duties and such a resentment .of f.u:
platforms us will entry conviction to
the heart of every rcpcnlitit und
patriotic voter. Those who are seek
ing to convert the world find great
encouragement from the reports of
the polls already taken. The world
is changing and some precincts are
almost unanimous. Let every man
do his duty and ciced will be saved,
but don't forget to repster."
The tonnage of vessels at present
reported cn route to Pacific coast
ports shews that bound for the Co
lumbia river exceeds that bound to
all other ports on the coa't, excepting
San Francisco, by raoll tons.
These ports include San Diego, Port j
Los Angeles, all Puaet Sound ports,
and all British Columbia ports. If
Hawaii be counted in with its 31,048
en route tonnage, the coast ports out
side of San Francisce exceed the
Columbia river by just 0,027 tons1.
San Francisco has 44,172 more tons
en route than has the Columbia
river.
The Pendleton Tribune suggests
the name of L. 15. Beeder for speaker
of the Oregon house of representa
tives. The Tril une says Mr. Reeder
is a "good lawyer, an accomplished
parliamentarian, an experienced
legislator, a genial gent'eman and
last, but not least, rock-ribbed re
publican." The Tribune thinks it
would be a graceful act for Western
Oregon to concede the speakership to
Eastern Oregon.
A primarj' reform law that will
actually reform Is something that
every good citizen will be glad to
see enacted. Direct primary nomi
nations without tie intervention of
the bow," looks well on paper and is
a consummation devoutly to be
wished. It is in the primaries,
rather than the conventions, that the
boss gets in his deadliest worU
For
these the boss drums up his forces
while the mass of the vot.-ra supinely
stiy at home and then kick them
selves because the boss had his way.
The remedy for ihe boss evil is in
the peoples' own hands. The boss
will be at the primaries, no matter
what kind of a law is passed, and if
the people stay at home and permit
him to have bis way they have no-
body to blame but themselves.
Apart from what is offensive in the!
political boss, he is simply a man
who wor,ks harder to accomplish his
ends than his neighbors. The only
hope of circumventing him lies in
working as hard as he does.
NOT ALL OR EGO N REJOICES.
"All Oregon is rejoicing," says the
Baker City Republican, "at the fact
that the O. R. k N. has secured two
of the largest steamships ever yet
sailed on the Pacific for its new
Oriental line from Portland."'
Not quite "all Oregon," alas, that
it should be said, for the Astoria
News frets itself in this wise: "If
the O. R. ii X. Company has really
chartered those steamers, it is iue'eed
too bad, for they will never bo able
to get to Portland. A 22-foot chan
nel cannot bo made to accomodate
25-fool ships, and if those vessels
CDme here they will have to load at
Astoria. This Portland story sounds
remarkably fishy."
It remains true, however, as a
Baker City business man expresses
himself to the Republican, that the
news is "particularly gratifying to
the Inland Empire, because it dem
onstrates that the Columbia river will
be kept open to navigation; tlmt
ships will continue to come as far
inland for cargo as possible anil that
we can still expect to see the largest
ocean vessels, which are the cheapest
earrieis, take our products 100 miles
inland. Oregon for Oiegon, and the
Inland Empire for its best Interests."
It is absurd to talk of the reorgan
ization C'f the democratic party. It
cannot be done. The distinction be
tween gold democracy and Bryan
democracy is so radical that their
Rssiciation in the . same party is im
possible. As well talk of "reorgan
izing" lire and water into one
homogeneous compound. The idea
of Cleveland and Altueld, ef Cai lisle
and Bryan, of Bynuni and Sn'zer
standing on the same platform, or of
any deelatstiou ef principles being
framed on which they could unite is
inconceivable
liiyanism, whkdi isjviCe was .started in New York the
(my nnother name for populism,
is in the saddle, and there's the nib!
For no schemo of reorganization
will ever bo uoceptable to the gold j
democrats that does not provide for
the renunciation of Ilryanisru nnd all
its works. And this is precisely
what Cryanites will never consent to.
They pre joined to their idol and
may as well be lei alone. As a mat
ter of fact, it is not reorganization the
democratic party needs but icgcner
alioii. By a vote of SJ'J.oOO to 7,171 the
people of Washington have signified ,
their approval of an amendment to
the stale constitution providing for
an exemption from taxation of 000
worth or less of personal property.
The opposition to the amendment
came principally from the single tax
cranks who thought that by making
the tax on personal property as high
as possible they would ultimately
secure the votes of an indicnant
people for the complete abolition of
personal property tax.
The Lewiston Tribune declares the
disgruntled citizen who is on the
lookout for a. new party need not
despair if he doesn't get one. "The
chances are he would fall out with
the new one on its first failure to
meet bis individual ideas and the
country would have to be saved
without him anyway."
By the time Washburn, Bryan,
Peltigrew, Hearst and perhaps Hill
each get a "new democracy" organ
ized, there will not be many rag-tag
and bob-tail fag ends to gather up
to reorganize the New York Wotld's
"old democracy," says the New
Whatcom Republican.
UOW TO SETTLE VEL1SQIEXT
SUllisCRIl'TJOXS.
There are few classes of book ac
counts iu the world that cortaio as
I large a relative amount of bad debts
as the subscription lists of a country
newspaper. Why this is so it is not
our present purpose to inquire. Our
object is to cull the attention of our
brethren of the country press to an
infallible method by which a settle
ment of all delinquent accounts may
, he obtuined with scarcely any trouble
j and without any expense. We can
commend the method all the more
heartily since we did not discover it
but are indebted for the "pointer
to an old account book that was
recently discovered among a lot of
trash and lumber while workmen
were clearing out an old store room
connected with the office of the col
lector of Internal revenue at Tort
land. The book boie internal evi
dence of having belonged to a
j practising physician of some forty
years ago; and a man of some note
withal, as the list of names in the
index and accounts show that his
patients were among the best families
of the Portland pioneers. 1'ho doc
tor's name is not found in the book
but old-timers strongly suspect that
it belonged to one long since gone to
bis rest, who bore an honoted but
decidedly Celtic patronymic and had
o large share of the wit ar.d humor
of his race.
The doctors of forty years ago, ie
it remembered, might not have had
as many patients as their successors
do noV, but they made up for tho
lack by bleeding more freely what
they had. Thus the book shows that
a charge of $3 was demanded for a
single call upon the sick. In the
particular case .which furnishes the
inspiration of this article the usual
charge is registered against a certain
individual for a visit to his sick wife.
An extra charge of 1 is made for
tho prescription and when the items
are carried out the total is made to
read 0-1.30.
Our brethren of tho country press
will not fail to note the doctor's
admirable method of addition. .Not
that it is absolutely new, as any man
who lias ever run a butcher's account
can testify. The account is ultimate
i ... , , .

inarkable manner and this i, the

It is regarded as signilican-. that
just :is soon as the crusade ncainst
Tauimany chief hurried off to

able recollection e;f the Loxov coiu-
nuttee.
The New York Press asks: Where
is the empire? Where is the hateful
thing burrowed ? Into what junyle
has he led his yelping; offspring?
This suspense is terrible! Has any
one seen bis tracks?
Congressman Bailey, of Texas,
sees nothing in the talk of reorgani
zation of the democratic party. ., His
Lul,e of future ParlV f'umpli lies in
a panic during republican rule.

MONOPOLY IN CAMPHOR GUM.
Th Kafir Trad mt World la
Row la ih llaada ( irmm
vadlral.
Within a year thr- camphor trade of
the world h become a monopoly.
The trrrn w huh yield this fragrant and
useful jriim are to rw found all over
Asia anil tie Hast Indies, but the
principal production from them is
ronfiiied t the island of Formosa,
which beIoi:j to Japan. China was
never able to fnrnixh more than "li.
OOO pounds a year, and da pan now pro
duces about 30n.(u. Hut Formosa'
annual output for neveral years past
has been between fi.Ooei.O.o nnd 7.e(,0,
000 pound. Little ia to lx- hail at
prpM-nt from any other source and
theri" is no proKprct of any chanjre in
the situation for a lniijr time to come,
nays the .New York Tribune.
In deciiiinir to exercise control over
the production of camphor Japan has
been actuated by two motive. In the
first place she wants to obtain revenne
therefronr, a France doe from the
match and cijrar industries. Ititt she
also seek to avert the killing of the
fjoose which lays the ffolden fgjr for
her. In other word, she ha under
taken to protect the camphor forests,
which were in elanper of extinction.
A recent consular report from Tanisiii
declare that no fewer than 1.5110
armed puiirds are tb be placed on tlufy
on the edfje of the forests. In order to
enforce regulations which have recent
ly been adopted. The destruction of
yonnjr ciimphor trees nnd of shoots
front old stumps has been prohibited
by law. The ptim is obtained by felling-
th larger trees, splitting them
up ond boding the wood. In the past
it hns been common to cut down
young trees for fuel, but this practice
is now to lie stopped.
Soalhcrn California,
Notable among tiie pleasures afforded
by the Shasta Route is the wioter trip
to Southern California and Arizona.
Renewed acquaintance with this section
will ever develop fresh points of interest
added sources of enjoyment, under its
sunny skies, in the variety of its Indus
tries, in its prolific vegetation and among
its numberless resorts of mountain,
shore, valley and plain.
The two daily Shasta trains from
Portland to California have been re
cently equipped with the most approved
pattern of standard and tourist sleeping!
cars, but the low rates of fare will still I
continue in effect.

of California and Arizona may be had
