IWomlttK profoundly impressed with the future of Oregon, then just openiun, he resigned from the army and lH'n the practice of law lit Salem, where he rose to the foremost rank of hi prole-scion, distiiiKtiished alike for his con servative judgment, deep legal knowledge, conscientious and patient labor and keen sighted penetration. About ten years ago he w as elected judge of the supreme court of the state, and has since been two or three times re-elected twice as chief judge. No matter how the political tide of Oregon may have surged, the election of Judge Lord has never been questioned at any time. The characteristics which distinguished him at the bar have been even more prominent since be lias been on the bench, and his reported decisions form a surprisingly large portion of the proceedings ol the court. His nomination for governor assures Ore gon to the republicans In June, and the question Is only one of majorities. The vote given for Judge Lord on previous oc casions, when he has been a candidate, warrants the assertion that Oregon will give a larger republican majority than ever in her history. For a long time President Harrison con templated appointing him to the bench of the circuit court of appeals, and abandoned his purpose in this direction with the greatest reluctance. Judge Lord's last visit to Italtimore was in January, ISSt, when he married Miss Ktta Montague, a niece of Hon, Henry Stockbridge. Mrs. Lord was in Italtimore on a visit last sum mer.

AREPVBL1 CAN GOVERNOR The Baltimore American notes the nom ination made by Oregon republicans for governor and pays him a well deserved trib ute in the following: Judge William P. Lord, who has just received the republican nomination for gov ernor of Oregon, is w ell remembered in this state. He is descended from one of the old Delaware families, and graduated from Fairfield college, N. Y., in WO, with the highest honors of his class. Immediately upon finishing bis college course be began the study of law in the office of Judge Fisher, w ho won fame in the trial of Mrs. Surratt, and later filled the important posi tion of first auditor of the treasury during President Harrison's administration. The commencement of the civil war came when young Lord had been engaged in his studies but six months, and be Immediately aban doned them to enter the First Delaware cavalry. For the two succeeding years be was with his command, and was then detailed on the staff of Gen. Lew Wallace, and ordered to Baltimore to discbarge the duties of judge advocate on a millitary com mission. Although the youngest officer in the service filling so responsible a posi tion, Judge Lord displayed sucb signal ability that for eighteen consecutive months be continued to discharge the onerous duties of tbat office to the entire satisfaction of the war department and President Lin coln. Tbe road was just opening for bis promotion to the post of judge advocate General, when the assassination of President lincoln changed the entire conduct ol tbe government. Upon the dote of tbe war Judge Lor J was The Woodburn Independent recently contained a well written and pointed letter written by "a granger" in answer to an other letter which appeared in the Pacific Fanner in Ibe interest of one of the populist ! candidates for representatives in this county in which he urged the grange to stand by and vote for him. Granger in the Inde pendent says: "It is amusing in the extreme to see how solicitous our calamity whimpering can uidates are about granger's vole. They say our first duty is to read and think. Do not let the other fellow think for you, (unless that other fellow is a calamity screech ow l.) The grange is "supposed" to be strictly non-partisan. Each voter is to use his own judgment in exercising bis right of suffrage, without bias or question, "Yet we see one of Claekamas county s leading grangers, who is a candidate for rep resentative on the calamity ticket, ap pealing direct to the grange for supiort. Tbis inspired apostl e of antiquity dwells, and with great stress, that we must vote and vote right, and not forget the duty we owe to the grange. What is that duty? Why it is to go to grange, be a populist, help, aid and abetiufamable bankruptcy theories, and pay the expenses of oneof those peculiar mud throwing machines to electioneer for him self. Fellow grangers, did I not tell you a year ago that this grange movement was a political trick to be used to trip up the unwary? Howlongare you going to allow yourselves to be led by the nose by hypo critical political black sheep, whose whims and hobbies are to "boost out the republi can rascals and boost us disapoiiited po- j litical sore beads in?" j Fellow republicans, stand by the party ' that stood by and for the government, for 1 the flag, and tor you. It is no time now to j bow to the will of a demagogue. Therefore j vote and vote right and let us see bow deep J we can snow the enimies to our country's piOfperity under. Tit KNTKHi-Hisa Is in receipt of a net ol resolutions passed by Molalla grunge, of which Dr. J, Casto.the populist nominee for representative is a member, urging tipon grangers tit Importance of voting for prin ciples instead of party. This sounds very nice in theory, but the real intent of thesw resolutions is to intltieuce grangers to vole the populist ticket. As long as the Kntkk mis believes the populist party to bo ac tuated by no principles save an inordinate itching for office it is not willing to give ils support to any such scheme. The grange professca to b a non-pollllcal organisa tion, yet under the leadership of such demagogues as J, Casio, II. K, Hayes and R. P. lloise a studied attempt is being made to secure republican votes for men devoid of political principle, and who, il elected, would do all In their power to lncororate vicious legislation upon the statute books. The election of a populist to an Important office is calculated to augment the distress of the times rather titan ameliorate it, and the grange can take no surer method to bring Itself into disrepute and injure the cause of the farmers whom It is Intended to help than by lending its support to the schemes ot these selfsame political hacks. The grange is too good an organisation to be domineered by such men in such a cause Tit designs ol Russia In Asia, especially as to Corea, are the subject of increasing interest. Corea has a splendid harbor In Fusan, J5,imo,0W inhabitants, rich mines and many valuable resources. Russia owns now a good harbor of its ow n at Vladivos tok, but tbe port ia frozen up much ol the time, and it would be an unsatisfactory terminus for the great Transilieriau rail way. In the last eighteen mouths Itussla has sent 40,000 Cossacks by sea to Vladi vostok, and her total force there at present is reckoned at over W,i0. China and Japan will tight to keen Corea, and the two are ready to put l.'iO.tsO troops into the Iteld in case the t'sar reaches lor the Coreau peninsula. Conditions are nearly ripe for trouble in tbat quarter of the w orld. Tin army ol unwashed which marched out of Portland avowing their adherence to the laws ol the country soon forgot tbat they were "honest and lawahidiugcilizena" and when sixteen miles out on their way to Washington terrorized the community and thus secured sucb provisions as they required alter which they slide a railroad train and went on their way apparently triumphant and rejoicing. The strong arm of the military and tbe civil courts were necessary to bring them to a realising sense of their crime and with the lesson there learned it is doubtful it they will soon agulu run up against tbe United slates govern ment in such an abrupt manner. Tn K speech made by Mr. K, L, Mlnlle in nominating (leo, V. Prosper for sheriff in the county convention bus fieequeutly been spoken of as an eloquent tribute to a friend and deserving ciimlldato, Il was the utterance of innii w ho had been urged to withdraw bis support from that filend In order to himself become a cundldale for the place Tor which lie Has named 011 Tuesday, yet he reliised to listen for a moment to the proposllson and In every way possible endeavored to nominate Mr, I'msser, No word or act showed that lie wavered In his fealty to hla friend, and when the central committee was called upun to fill the place made vacant 011 the ticket by the resigna tion of Win, Barlow it was meet and pro erthat they should with one accotd turn to Mr. Mlntle ami ask him to penult the use of Ills name for representative. The Kktkhi'misr understands that he baa sig nified his willingness to accept the trust and make the race in the interest of the party, and as he has accepted tb nomin ation In this spirit republicans should rally to his support and insure his election. He has proven himself a true man, capable and honorable and as such will add strength to the ticket and prove a valuable ami trustworthy representative, who will do conscientiously w hat he believes to he light ami in the Interest of Ihe people. (iovkHNoa PkNstoYks In Ida speeches is attacking the republican legislature tor Its extravagunce In making appropriations. He would have his bearers believe that the legislaiure alone is responsible for the ex horhilant expenditures which have charac terized the governor's administration. Such is not the fuel. If any one person is more to blame than any one else for the excessive expenditures of this stale for the last eight years, that man ia Governor I'eutiover w ho falsely styles himself the p-Hir man's friend. Compared with the republican admlnlslra lion preceding, his has been expensive, In consistent and extravagant In Ihe extreme.

The ExTHKraisi is not booming the dem ocratic nominees tbis year, but cannot re frain from expressing on ersonsl grounds its appreciation ol D. V. 8. Keid, the nominee for school superintendent, ho is a live school man and in every way qualified to till the position for which he has been named. When the editor came to the state Mr. Reid was county school superintendent of Linn county and he issued him the first certiorate which he received in the slate and showed by his visits to the school and work while there his appreciation of the duties of superin tendent and his ability to perform such duties well. For a man wlm iiiiitcniiitiulv goes ariout his own business and dors his work without any attempt at display, John C. Bradley has made many friends in this com ty. Notwithstanding the lact that he has filled the one office in the county which is looked tiHin as a thankless place, he has j by his fair and impartial course Inspired These has never been a time within the history ol this nation when the necessity for definite action on the part of the govern ment was as imperative as at the present time, and at no time has the parly in power proven as incapable and inactive as now. Congress has been in almost continuous session since the seventh of August last, and nothing has been done by tbe dominant party except to wrangle and wrangle. The silver bill, for tbe repeal of which the extra session was called, was passed, but not till the republicans came to the assistance of the democrats and helped them to pass it. Its passage was followed by no legislation calculated to secure to tbe country tbe bene fits w hich should have followed tbe repeal of the Sherman law, and the condition of the country has been permitted to become worse and worse with no attempt even to do any thing which might revive business and give work to the unemployed. This may be good for the democratic party but it is bad for the country. In view of the fact that the fruit outlook in the Fast is poor the following from the Inter Ocean is ofintere.it to growers in this section who should spare ho pains to secure as full a crop as possible. It says: Oregon and Washington are great fruit growing slates, but heretofore the freight charges have been so high as to shut them off" from Eastern markets. Since the opening of the Great Northern competition hat been more pointed and freight rates for fruits greatly reduced. The result will be a double bless ing to the Western grower and the Eastern consumer. Tbe world's fair showed the fruit products of this favored section of the Union. A cobrkspokuknt to the Statesman from Ankney writes to inquire how a teacher would find time to teach agriculture in ac cordance with the populist doctrine in view of the fact that tbe populist candidate for state superintendent who is at present teach ing their school with between twelve and twenty scholars, has dropped tbe studies of history and physiology from the school en tirely for the reason that he has no time to bear the scholars in the classes recite. Now if he was compelled to teach agriculture what would he do? He might drop arithmetic or geography, possibly both, and thus gain time for the class in agriculture. Possibly he knows more about agriculture than he does about history and physiology. the conlldeme of Ihe public who will lie pleased to help at the June election in swell ing the majority of a tried and trusted officer. t'XEofthe strongest commendations for Superintendent II. S. (iiliaoil is the interest which he has secured among the teachers of the county in the monthly teachersas sm iiitio.i meetings which are now generally attended by the live tvachers of the county who have learned that they are of much practical gtol as now coudovted. These meetings are really school of Instruction for the teachers and prove of incalculable henelit in helping llieni to perform well the duties of the school Mom.

Holman made. no unnecessary bills have been Thj venerable Senator Morrill well char acterizes the financial and industrial crisis as the result of a vain-glorious and clumsy attempt to carry out tbe democratic plat form. There is something more than men at stake in the election tbis year. Tbe prin ciples upon which parties are founded and Uioii which they have been sustained are in the crucible. Upon one hand are the theories, wild fantacies and dreams of the populists and the do nothing policy of the democratic party which has proven itself wholly unlit to govern ; and upon the other side are the tried princsples of the republi can party which have never failed to bring work and prosperity. Which will you take? It would be interesting to know upon what expression of the people Senator Mills bases the following conclusion which he uttered in the debate upon the Wilson bill in the senate: "We mast pass this bill, make it as good as we can first, but pass it we must. The people want this bill passed now; they do not want to wait until they are starved to death. They do not want to wait until the whole country is parali.ed, but they want us to do It now. We thought that the people were talking and voting something else. Till Call says: "The spectacle of Chinese coming in at tbe Golden Gate and white men going Kant by railroad is not inspiring. There seems to be room for the Chinese, but only 'godspeed for the parting (white) guests.'
