Out ol twenty one governor! elected at the Ute election only one democrat u loccessful. Wl believe there not two news pi per in the state bat what are op posed to the change in school books. The democratic candidate for gov ernor in Texas was elected though his majority was 190,000 lets than at the last election. Even though times are very hard nd depression on every hand, yet there are many things for which we bonld be thankful If one will stop and reflect a moment they can pick them oat with little difficulty. The United States paid Germany in 1893 the sum of $9,475,000 for sugar, and the amount in 1891 wil exceed $11,000,000 This is but a mall fraction of the cash we send abroad for articles that, with a little encouragement, could soon .be pro duced at home, every pound of it. "Oregon understands her needs. She needs now more than ever before, the election of a senator with a clear head undoubted courage, incorruptable in tegrity, and intimate knowledge of men and affairs." Tribunu. We have Mr. Fulton, Mr Tongue, Mr. Hermann, Mr. Lowell: any of whom would fill the bill. When the new state officers assume their duties next January the should appoint new men as their assistants, clerks, etc., just as soon as possible. At the convention last spring none of the old hangerson stood any cbsnce of securing a nomination, and now the people want a clean sweep all along the line. Bosebarg Plaindealer. "The Herald is a republican paper, and believes in the principles of the republican party. It believes in the republican principles of protection. It believes in free and unlimited coinage of silver at tbe ratio of 15 to 1. It be lieves in nominating honest, patriotic citizens for legislative positions, and will never support any man who is a traitor to bis country, or who shot at our flag. Astoria Herald. Tbe edi tor of tbe Herald is a member of the next legislature, and is one of that class of republicans whom the Ore gonian says is not a republican. He is a man who has opinions of his own, however, and is not afraid to express tbem at all times. The great daily argues that since tbe friends of silver are represented in congress by Mitchell, Hermann and Ellis it would be but fair to fend a senator tbis time who is opposed to silver. Tbis is a fair sample of the arguments presented by that paper lately. Why court this division of strength among our national delega. tion, Tbis line of reasoning would be admissible in selecting servants to perform certain well defined labor, and in which the spoils of office were the principal object. But in the sel ection of United States senator it isn't a case of simply revenue to the in cumbent, neither has the labor to be performed been precisely designated by the people; consequently to send a divided delegstion to congress would not terminate In successful or satis factory legislation to either side: Such an argument condemns itself at a glance. If Oregon is to send a delegation divided, against Itself they way as well bo kept at home, TBE GREATEST TIDAL WAYS. Tbe greatest of all the congressional landslides of the past are far exceeded by the mighty avalanche which has just taken place. When the democrats in 1874 changed a republican majority of 105 elected in 1872, In Grant's second canvass, to a lead of sixty for their side, they achieved a revolution which till stands as one of the marvels of our politics. A little less extensive, but still a notable overturn, was that which the democrats effected in 1882 when they displaced a republiraa in jority of eleven, chosen with Garfield in 1880, by one of eighty-four of their own. More aweeping than that ol 1882. but lets so than that of 1874. was that by which the democrats changvd majority of seven, elected with Hsr riaou in 18S8, to a plurality of 148 for themselves in 1890. But the impetus and altitude of the tidal wave of 1894 immensely exceed those of any revolution la a congres sional election in the past. The plu rality to be overcome was in the pres ent instance many times gTeater thau it was in 1882 or 1890, and almost as great as it was in 1874. It was ninety two now in comparison with 105 then. Tbe preponderance placed on the other tide of the scale, however, is very much more than twice as great as it was at that time. While the democratic lead gained in 1874 was sixty, the republi can lead over the democracy secured now will be between 165 aud 170. Tbis is the indication at tbe present writ ing, and the republican majority in creases with each successive report from the doubtful districts. If the wishes of -republicans in gen eral were consulted, the majority would not go beyond its present di mensions. It is an embarrassment of political wealth that the party is being burdened with. In this case it is the victors who are crying out, "Hold enough t " Not often is a good thing overdoue, but there is danger that it may be in tbis case. The equilibrium between the parties is almost too ser iously disturbed for the comfort even of the republicans. No such swing of the partisan pendulum ever occurred before. The shifting of tbe center of political gravity is more extreme and violent than ever was known before in the whole history of tbe country. It is a mighty and memorable transforms' tion in the country's partisan elements snd forces, and it is undoubtedly des tine! to stand for mauy years to come as the high water mark of political tidal waves. VERY BROAD ASSERTION. Tbe Pendleton Tribune says: "There is not a reputable republican paper in Oregou thatis opposed to the re-election of Senator Dolph." From this line of reasoning (or bulldoxing) every repub lican, democrat, or populist who may have other preferences for United States senator than Mr. Dolph, is dis reputable (a very broad assertion, in deed) in tbe estimation of the Dolph organ at Pendleton. The same paper also say: "Loy alty to the sen t lor was n ade the test the election iu this state last June." Tbe Tribune is mistaken on this point. It is a fact well remembered that in no part of the state did any candidate for the legislature or any other office dare declare hitmelf in favot of Mr. Dolph. On tbe contrary in some in stances tbe opposition to tbe senator was so great that legislative candidates found it necessary to declare them selves adversely to the senator, and in all parts of tbe state it was looked no on as dangerous to bandlo the sena torial question at all. While it is true the republicans received a very large majority, it is none the less true that majority would have been much larger had Mr. Dolph not been a candidate for re-election. But let it be remein be red that there are other very able nd worthy men in the state of Oregon of which fact the voter were assured from every rostum in the state last spring. Tbev have a right to expert those pledges will be made good, ami not, tbe party will not march to the tune of fifteen thousand majority two years hence. compelled to meet the reduced rate, The saving on the additional amount transported over the Hunt line is $10,' 125, and this added to the saving on the wheal carried by the O. R. & N. makes a grand total of $29,876 more than this county pays toward main taining the board of railway commiS' itinera. "I am willing that these figures be submitted to investigation and feel tha( it is but fair that they should be presented to the public. The Roseburg land office has de rided that title cannot be acquired to land token op under the timber land act of 1873 on contract for another who furnibhes the neoenury money with the understanding ill it when p.: ent issues it will be transferred by tbe applicant to the broker. The case at Issue was ooe In which the defend' ant had furnished money to parlies to take up land aggregating nearly 10,000 acres, to be deeded to defendant after patent was issued. It is to be hoped the secretary of the iuterior will sus tain the decision of the local land office. The same scheme was worked in nearly all the timbered sections of the state, and in Columbia county it was practiced in a most wholesale manner. We have today within our borders many thousands of acres of land in the hands of non-resident spec ulators acquired just in that way. It is a higbhauded fraud and we hope the government will not let up until it recovers all land acquired in this way. Several well known politicians fav orable to the re-election of Senator Dolph say they are "confident the peo ple in voting the republican ticket lust spring and electing thia legislature had in view the re-election of Mr. Dolph lo the senate." These politician are probably mistaken. With the excep tion of Multnomah there was not a county in the state where the republi can press was not particular to convey the impression that the election of a republican legislature did not neces sarily mean the re-election of Mr. Dolph to the Uuited States senate. Furthermore, a very large majority of the people of Oregon favor the free coinage of silver, aod there is no use disguising the fact. Mr. Dolph I doubtless aware of that fact, too, foi when he was in Roeeburg a fuw days since and delivered an address, he did not even mention the monetary ques tion, much to the disappointment of several persons who expected to learn something new on the subject.

The telegraphic dispatches indioate a little bad feeling between England aud the United States, and it i inferred that war may possibly result over the Nicaraguan mtiildle. Even sh'tuld this occur this country need not have any fear, for tbe United Stale has long . go demonstrated to tbe world, and partic ularly to England, that she is able to take care of beraelf. We do not be lieve, however, that any serious war. like steps will be taken by the latter country, since her people have very large financial interests on this side of tbe water which must suffer greatly in the event of war.

Dated St. Helens, Oregon, Nov. 1. 18M, TBE COMMISSION'S WORK. While in Pendleton a few days ago. Colonel J. B. Eddy, state railroad com missioner, was interviewed in regard to tbe effect of the commission and as to whether it was a financial benefit to the state. Mr. Eddy said: "Daring 1893, tbe amount of wheat hauled to Portland by the O. E. & N from Umatilla county wa 37,000 tone. We have estimates on the production ior mis year ana nnci the concensus places it at 45.000 as the number of tons which the name railroad will haul to the seaboard. Last year we secured a reduction of J cent per hundred on wheat, and tbis year a further reduc tion of 1 cents per hundred, t total of 2J cpnts per hundred, or 45 cents per ton. On 45,000 tens this eqnala a total reduction of $20,250. Umatilla county pays one twentieth the laxet of Oregon, or 1500 of the $10000 an- m m. expense in matntxuiing the com mission, leaving $19,750 gained by this county through the cnmmii-sion.

Salary Law Not Satisfactory. The Portland Sun says : E. K. Skip- worth, a well-known attorney, of En- gene, is in the city on professional. business. Mr. Skipworth says there is a great deal of dissatisfaction among the people of Lsne and Douglas coun ties, in regard to tbe late law which allows tbe sheriff a salary instead of a per rentage. "The law is being gen erally discussed," said he, "and tbe people are looking forward to a radical change, oi a repeal of that law alto gether. "Uuder the present laws tbe sheriff's deputies are appointed by the county court I called at the sheriff's office some days since with some papers I wished to have served at once. I was told by the sheriff that his deputies were all busy, that there were several ahead of me, and that he could not at tend to it at once. I told him my case was very important and tendered bim tbe money, telling bim to get some one to do it. "'No, I cannot do that,' he said. 'If I should I would be compelled to turn the money you pay me over to the county and pay the hiied man out of my pocket.' " Again Mr. Skipworth said: "The sheriff is required to pay all traveling expenses, and when a prisoner escapee from custody, many times he is not caujiht for the simple reason that the sheriff does not wish to pay out bis money for traveling expenses, there being no inducement offered him by the county for tbe capture of criminals. The Isle law has proven very unsatis factory, and there should be some change made." SHERIFF'S SALE.
