The political situation today is
not unlike what it was back in the
fifties. The Whig party had then
proven unequal to the duties laid
upon it and the Republican party
was Dorn. io w 'uiviv
party is in much the same condi

it seems possible that some other
organization may come to life in
its place.

Just at present the entente be
tween the United States and Great
Britain is flourishing finely, but the
chances are that before so very long
it will receive a blight, if not a
killing frost. The reason will be
that the United States is likely to
continue the process by which it is
steadily wresting the world's mar
kets from Great Britain. Already
the English are a good deal excited
over this, and bye and bye they
will begin to lose their their
tempers.

Another Count Castellane has
come over and declares that he is
the real article. That is to say, he
declares that Boni is bogus. Doubt
less in this he is correct, for geneal

that Boni's ancestors were in no
way related to it but simply grab
bed the title during the reign of
terror and have held it ever since
without the slightest warrant,

A number of influential Republi
cans have come boldly out and de
clared their opposition to the ship
subsidy bill in its present form, al-.
though most of them declare that
they are in favor of the principle.
They are no doubt right in both
positions. The present bill was
drawn by President Griscom, of the
American line, and is admittedly
intended to promote the interests of
that line rather than those of the
commerce carriers of the United
States.
On the first day of the session of
congress but one Oregon member
was in his proper place. Some peo
ple imagine that men are elected to
seats in congress with the expecta
tion that they will devote their time
to public business. They are mis
taken. Congressmen must needs
keep up their political fences, and
in order to do so must spend much
of their time in private business of
their own.

Before the European powers in

attack on the foreigners.

The Oregonian was fifty years
old on Tuesday. It is a great
newspaper in every sense of the
word and a tribute to the untiring
energy and skill of Henry L. Pit
tock and Harvey W. Scott. There
are very few old printers in Oregon
or Washington who did not at some
time "set type" on the Oregonian.
One who could "hold a case" there
was deemed a lucky man as well as
a skilled one. While the editorial
page haB always been a thorn in
the side of many of its readers, in
order to get the news, and all of it,
they willingly subscribed for it.
No other paper ever published in
Portland ever kept pace with the
times, but. the Oregonian kept
ahead. Its facilities for gathering
news are first-class and news of all
important events can be found in
its columns daily. "May it live
long and prosper."

LETTER.
Washington, D. C, Nov. 20.
This Rovernmont has ones more
taken the diplomatic lead in Chin
ese affairs. Tiring of the seemingly
endless deadlock ot the foreign
ministers at Pekin, and believing
that their personal experiences had
aroused their' prejudices to such an
extent that It would bo well nigh
mpossibls for them to agree upon
the demands to be made upon the
government ot China, tor the pun
hment of the inciter! of the boxer
troubles and the amount ot the
money indemnity which should be
aid the powers, this government
has boldly taken a stand in favor
of ending tho deadlock by stopping
the present negotiations and mak
Ing afresh start by tho appoint
ment of representatives ot each of
the powers concerned, to an inter
national commission or congress, to
meet at Tho Hague, or some other
place outside of China, and formu
late the demands which the powers
shall make upon China The idea
has been endorsed by teveral of the
powers and it is expected to get the
approval ot them all. It seems to
offer a commonsense way out of the
mix-up in Pekin, which has stoad
ily been growing worse instead of
better.
The reply of Ex-Senator Wilson,
of the state of Washington, when
asked what brought him to the
national capital at this time, may
be considered somewhat unique,
compared with the object ot other
gentlemen who are, like Mr. Wilson
members of the dominent party
He said: "I want nothing, and have
come here to ask for nothing. My
wife and I have come east, where
our daughter is in school. I wanted
to get away from business and poll
tics for a little while and plan to
stay away until after Christmas,"
Whatever the beer and tobacco
mn can do on the floor of the
house, where they threaten to carry
the fight, there is no doubt of their
having been completely routed in
the first battle on tho bill for the
reduction of the war taxes, made
before the sub-committee composed
of Representative Payne, of New
York; Dalzell, of Pa., and Hopkins
of 111., which has prepared a bill
estimated to cut the annual revenue
between twenty and thirty million
dollars, without reducing the tax
on beer or any class ot tobacco
The bill may, of course, be changed
before being reported to the house.
during the first week of the session
but as it now stands, it repeals only
those stamp taxes about which
there has been the most complaint
It is said that the beer men might
have sot a reduction had it not
been for the report so generally cir
culated during the campaign that
Senator Hanna had promised them
a reduction in exchange for cam
paign contributions. It was point
ed out by many influential party
men that if the brewers taxes were
reduced it would be accepted by the
public as confirming that report.
Representative Hitt, of 111., chair
man of the house committee on for
cign affairs, does not expect that
committee to take a conspicuous
part in the legislation of the boh
sion. He said, when asked of the
probable work ahead of the com
mittee: "I suppose there will be
puts?
The most beautiful thing in
the world is the baby, al
dimples and joy. The mos
pitiful thing is that same baby
thin and in pain. And the
mother does not know that a
little fat makes all the differ
ence. Dimples and joy have gone,
and left hollows and fear; the
fat, that was comfort and
color and curve-all but pity
and love-is gone.
The little one gets no fat
from her food. , There is some
thing wrong;itis either her food
or food-mill. She has had no
fat for weeks; is living on what
she had stored in that plump
little body of hers; and that is
gone,. She is starving for fat;
it is death, be quick I
Scott's Emulsion " of Cod
Liver Oil is the fat she can
take; it will save her.

spent several years in Honolulu,
and while there was in a position
to become well informed as to the
political inclinations and character
istics of nearly all tho leading met
in the recently annexed territory!
including a personal acquaintance
with Representative Wilcox. 'he
latter gentleman, Mr. Tobin states,
was the protege and warm pernioal
friend of King Kalakaua, who lad
him educated in Europe, principal

Milan, Italy, at his own expeiW
Whilo studying in Milan, Mr. fil
cox met, loved and married an
Italian countess, who went fjth
him to the Hawaiian islands; thjr
wedded life was vory unhapy,
however, and they separated, Mrs.
Wilcox returning to her nate
land. Her husband was sub
quently informed tliat she InQ
sought and secured a divorce, nd
this information was substantii cd
by the Italian consul at Honoliln.
A few years later Mr. Wilcox mar
ried a native Hawaiian lady, with
whom he is still living happily.
He was thoroughly in touch with
governmental affairs during the
reigns of King Kalakaua and Qucon
Lilioukani, and had the fullest con
fidence and highest esteem of the
natives. ' ' , ?, ,,v
