Four Amerioan steamers de
signed for the Pacific trade are
each to be 710 feet long, with a
capacity of 22,000 tons. Some of
the builders say the transpacific
liners of the future will be 1,000
feet long.
Aouinaldo, the patriotic George
Washington of the Philippines, is
reported to have fled to Japan to
get out of range of Uncle Ham a ad
vancing "imperialism." This wily
gentleman Beems to think a little
judicious quarantining just now
may save him the questionable no
toriety of a "high" position later.
It is all right for a party to fling
' its banner to the breeze and get in
to the field early, on the prinoiple
that it is the early bird that catches
the worm, but it is feared tbe pro
hibition party has banked so heavy
on this presumption that on the
day of election few voters will re
. member such a tioket was nomin-
ted.
The greatest judge that the world
baa ever known is the American
citizen standing in an election booth
ready to mark hia ballot' On the
justice of his decision hangs the
destiny of the greatest nation on
which the sun ever shone. If every
voter understood his awful responsi-
, bility, our institutions would last
into the centuries. But alas! the
sacredness of the ballot box is
thoughtlessly violated by too many
voters.
Thb Oregon red apple and its
side partner, the Bartlett pear, are
preparing to again open business at
tbe old stand. Their stook of goods
are arriving daily and by next har
vest time they will be prepared to
offer rich bargains in luscious fruits
in great quantities. Headquarters
for the Paciflo coast have been
established in the great Rogue
river valley.
A local populist exchange, in
reviewing tbe condition of parties
in Jackson-County, haa this to say
in regard to the republican party:
'The republican organization ig
compact, and in this county, so far
aa can be ascertained, is not divided
on the new issues. Their main di
visions will be over the nominations
for congressman for this distrint.
district attorney and the county of
ficers. They haye the prestige of
being in tbe saddle with a disorean
ized enemy in the field and on the
theory of 'nothing succeeds like
success,' tbe nominations will nat
urally be sought for with vigor and
energy, as the prizes are very valuable."
Four Years Ago aid Now.
! Democratic Chairman Jones is
connected with one of the greatest
trusts in the country the round
bale cotton trust, and haa been a
stockholder and director in the
American Cotton Company for
years. Had Mr. Bryan forgotten
that Senator Jones company was
incorporated in Jersey City when
an passing through New Jersey re
ceutly, he spoke of that state as
"robber's roost"? Eugene Daily
Register.
A. W. Hertzka. a Christian
Scienoe healer, of Portland, was
fined $100 by Justice Sohuebel, of
Oregon City, February 23d, for
practicing medicine without a li
cense, id violation of tbe statute.
Mr. Hertzka treated Mrs. Quint for
B right's disease, whereas the doctors
allege she had organic disease of
of tbe heart and might have been
cured with proper treatment. She
died under Hertzka's treatment
and hence the prosecution. Two or
three months ago a like' case came
up in Portland, and strange to say,
me judgment of tbe court was from
a religious standpoint, and to the
effect that Christian Science waB a
form of religious conviotion. and
under the laws of the land citizens
were allowed the privilege of exer
cising and enjoying their religiouB
convictions in their own way and
that each person had the right to
select bis own physician. The pa
tient in this oase also died. The
court discharged the accused. The
Oregon City case reverses .the Port
land decision, and an appeal to the
circuit court will be taken.
. The legal opinion of the district
attorney ot Multnomah County given
to the county clerk in regard to tbe
registration of naturalized citizens
who are unable to produce their
papers, seems to be grounded in
practical justice and common sense.
in that it assumes it is not the pur
pose of the law to disfranchise legal
voters. His holding is, that if a
naturalized citizen's papers are lost
proof that he has been naturalized
and is entitled to vote will fulfill
the just and reasonable require
ments of the law. The burden of
the decision is that if the clerk
satisfied from tbe reasons and proofs
oflered that the applicant is en
titled to -vote, though he is unable
to produce his papers, the clerk
Should register him.
The opening up of the ports of
tbe great Chinese Empire through
the influence of the acquisition of
tbe t hilippines, will quadruple the
commerce of the Pacific coast to
the Orient inside of four years. It
has been said by distinguished per
sons that there are five iundred
million people within 2500 miles of
Manila. It will therefore be seen
that the United States has a com
mercial base of operations in tbe
ownership of the islands second to
The charge against the countv
court of gerrymandering the pre
cincts is the merest fustian and
bombast, and as absurd as it is
groundless. There could be but one
motive on the part of the countv
court for such a violation of official
faith, and that would be to farther
tbe ends of partisans of some par
ticular party to enable tbem to con
trol county conventions and make
nominations. It is not possible that
there could be any other motive
than this, because the act com
plained of will not admit of any
other. But this motive is out of
the question with the present court.
which is composed of one Republi
can, one Democrat and one Popu
list, it is worse tban nonesense to
suppose s court sq composed would
countenance a proposition to further
the ends of any party or set of parti
sans. The fact is, the board was
obliged to comply with the law and
make tbe road and voting districts
correspond. It was a big job, and
one to which each member of the
court gave long and painstaking at
tention in tbe interum before the
board met and took final action on
the new boundaries. The Mail be
lieves the court did the very best it
could with the time at its disposal
