Hammer Ailolpli Aaohorf The war to bolld no Orecon City is to rire Ore eon lltj people ronr piroHaire. The municipal elections which occurred In most ol the towns and cities of the eastern states on Monday Inst resulted almost en tirely lu republican victories. Democrats elected their candidates in a few places only, local Issues alVcciing tli result. Tb only contest for state ollice was in Michigan, the republicans electing a justice of the supreme court and two regents of thestato university. In the third congressional district of the same state was the only congressional con test. I.ieutenanl(!overnur 0 Hidings, re publican, was chosen representative to sue on?d J. t Burrows, recently elected United States aenaior, The most complete victory, and the one of most importance, was the election of George B. Swift, republican, for mayor of Chicago. Complete returns show his plurality la 41, lit). In the mayoralty election next preceding the one Just held, Hopkins, democrat, was awarded a plurality ofiau. It has always been claimed br the republican press of Chicago that Swift was fraudulently counted out when Hopkins succeeded Mayor Harrison, and the great plurality given Swift last Monday gives color to the truth of thecluim. Chicago has elected a mayor who will not give aid and comfort to anarchists. Her verdict too, Is as much a condemnation of the methods or Eugene V. Debs as or Mayor Hopkins. Dr. Holmes, the populist party candidate for mayor, received 14,000 votes, less than half as many as polled' by that party last fall. It is thus the populist party is melt ing away. STILL AT IT. Populists and populist papers are still re pealing the oft-refuted lie that a "con spiracy" a entered into whereby silver was demonetized in 1873. The fact is that the whole question which they call a "con spiracy" was openly debated for two years; very . member of congress and erery coinage expert bad a copy of the bill, and it was finally passe.1 with practically no op position. The Mckinley tariff law, or the Geary law might with equal propriety be called a conspiracy. At the time there was scarcely a silver dollar in circulation, be cause a silver dollar was of more value then than a gold dollar. The charge that the drop in tbe price of silver wasdue to demon etisation is equally unsupported by fact. .The fact Is that but 8,000,000 silvef dollars were coined in tbe whole history of the country previous to 1873, while since that time during the period of demonetization upwards of 417.000,000 of such dollars have been coined. In the single year of IS) there were 30.000,000 more silver dollars coined than in the whole history ol tbe country before 1873, the period which pop olist writers and orators torn) "the seventy live years of the country's greatest glory" Our object here is not to discuss the wis dom or unwisdom of tbe act of 1873. But we wish tbe facts to go before the candid reader. Tell them to your populist neigh bor, who may be willing to listen to the truth. They do not all believe that "a lie well stuck to is better than the truth." Leaning papers throughout the country are all speaking hopefully of prospects ahead. None of them, however, are looking for a boom. Of the improvement in busi ness the St. Louis Globe-Democrat has the following: Nobody, of course, looks for nything like a boom in the next few mouths. The business torpor or two years cannot be overcome suddenly. The improve ruent will be slow for a while, but it will be continuous, and before the present year ends the normal conditions will probably be restored and trade reach the level of the period Immediately preceding the panic. As measured by bank clearances, the busi ness or the country is still lOor 15 per cent, below that ot of 1XM2, but tbe gap is steadily narrowing. Trices of all aorta are about as much below the average of that year, so that the present clearances may represent as large a volume of transactions as those did. Because of the increase in the popu lation and in extent of industries, however, which has taken place in the past three years, higher figures than those will have to be reached before the level of the pros perity of 1892 will be touched, but it is evi- dent that the line will soon be in sight. Esolakd's opinion ol the efficiency of torpedo boats ia shown by the fact that she has built 200 of them to swarm into action with her 56 great battle ships and coast defenders. The United States at present has but three swift torpedo Iboats ready for active service, and only three are beii g baitt. The disparity is striking and de cidedly unsatisfactory. Knoi.andowusCI percent of all the mer- chant vessels In the world, Germany stand Ing second, France third, and the United States fourth. Major B. U, TuiTi.w, or Portland, was appointed, April 1st, adjutant general of tl Oregon National Guard by Gov.

She has arbitration for the Uni ted States, a steady pressure on Venezuela for fresh territory, an ultimatum for Nicar- ' agua, and bullets for tbe African tribes op posing her advance. The colossal bubble or British greed will burst some of these days. FOR PURER WATER. . Now that the finances of the city water commission are in a prosperous condition, the work of providing purer water for Ore gon City should be attended to. During the past winter there have been found dead turkeys, pigs, dogs, a horse, and other con taminations in the basin from which the city's supply of water Is drawn. But it has been no worse this winter than heretofore. Rotten logs, brushwood, and all manner of trash i constantly gathering at the intake of the pumping station to add to tbe impurities of the water. The steamboats are another source of trouble in getting pure water. In landing at the mill warehouse they always lay with their wheel directly above the in take pipe, and in handling the boat the wheel stirs up the sediment in the basin, and it la pumped up for tbe people of Ore gon City to drink. This trouble could all be avoided and pure water had by extending j me intaxe pipe out Into tbe center of tbe basin or along up tbe east bank of the basin to a point above where drift is liable to lodge and sediment be stirred up by tbe boats. Street Cleaning Commissioner Waring of New York has instituted a new reform, the outcome of which will be watched ror with much interest. He has engaged about forty women to take the place of men as in spectors or street cleaning. The commis sioner claims that the women do better work and are more reliable than men. . Tho long hoped" for steamer line from Portland to tlie porta of Japan and China ia at last to be realized. The Oregon Railway A Navigation Company Iian ciunplclcu iiogotiHtiotiH by which a regular line of atvauiers will bo eHtab- lisliod between this city ami Asiatic porta. Thia meant more to Portland than anything that could happen, unless it would be the owning of the Nicaragua canal, it places Portland on an equal footing with San Francisco in cotiiKt ing for w hat ia going to lm one of the greatest trades in the world, Oregon City will also reap a benefit from this line for a wider market will soon Ih needed for the products of our factories. The deal is between the Oregon Rail way A Navigation Company and Samuels, Samuels A Co., of Yokohoma, and pro vides for a monthly service between Port land and Hon Kong. The steamers will make slops at Yokohama, Kobe and Nagaski coining and going. The service will begin on or about May 1, and the first steamer will in all proba bility, sail from the other side. As there will be but little passenger traverut the beginning, the first steamers will be freighters. It will require four vessels to attend to the business. The names of the ships are not hnown here, but they will be steamers registering from 30(H) to 3,')00 tons. The first sailing from Port land will be on June 1. That Portland can well support such a line thero is not the slightest douht. The leading product of the state are in demand in China am) Japan at the present time and therein a great market there for manufactured goods, which will be laid down here by the transcontinen tal lines. Flonr will most likely form the bulk of the outward cargoes. The inward freight, which it is expected will be heavy, will be a rich prize for the railroad companies, which will thus do all in their power to aid the new line. A good deal ot support will be looked for from Portland merchants, and their sup port will be forthcoming. General Manager McNeill and General Freight Agent Campbell, of the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company deserve great credit for their untiring efforts to bring this deal to a succeiuiful conclusion.

BECKER'S FINE MILLINERY and HAIR GOODS IT is often asserted by a certain order of critics that a sound financial system is Im possible under a popular form of govern ment, because a majority of the voters are apt to have loose views upon the suhject. But the distinguished historian, John Bach if cMaster, looks at the matter in a different way. " Ail questions of great importance are finally settled," he says, " not by presi dents, nor by congresses, nor by the legisla tures of the states, but by the hard common sense of the people, who in their own good time and way have heretofore settled all questions wisely." As Indiana politician who recently de aired an attack upon an opponent in one of the newspapers of the town, gave the editor a bond indemnifying him against all dam ages that might result from libel proceed ings on account of the article. This pre sents a refreshing contrast to the ordinary rule, which is that the newspaper is asked to make such attacks on its own responsi bility, and resolutely refuse to divulge the source of its information. Lrr it be remembered that tbe republican party in 1802 declared in favorof a financial policy that would make every dollar of our money, whether of gold, silver or paer, equal to every other dollar. As the party declared in W. so will it again declare, and triumph in the declaration, in m. It is given out that when Minister Thur ston gets back to Hawaii be will be made secretary of loreign aff airs, and then Gres- haui will have to deal directly with him in all diplomatic matters pertaining to that country, notwithstanding the "persona nou grata' doctrine. It is quoted as an evidence of the pro gressive liberalism of Japan that no less than sixteen native Christians are employed ucoapiains in me army. Tins means a broadness of religious freedom that many more civilized countries have not reached yet. It is likely that before the end of the cen tury the snorting and puffing of the steam locomotive engine will give way generally to electric motor power. The change in all transportation and tralllc arrangements will be marvellous. Tmk women of Ohio cast their first vote on Monday for school officers and were also legally qualified to run for the posi tion. It is said that at least a third of the women of the state exercised their new privilege. Kates for money are advancing on both sides of the water, The improvement in business is responsible for this. The trade outlook all over the world Is brighter. Tall buildings are going up In New York to sncb an extent that an architect there says that some of the streets will soon look like canyons.

The snow in the valleys has melted at last, And the desolate nightof the year is past: The ice-chains are broken, the robins are singing, Awake to the call of the Easter bells ringing! Awaken, O beartf In bondage of sin thou hast slumbered so long, Arise in the beauty and rapture or song. Arise In the gladness of nature's adorning, Come forth in thy strength this glad Easter morning I . Boss Habtwick Thobpk, From Demorest's Magazine for ApriL .Mis-Muled Couples. The remarks quoted some time since from the Oregonian as to the marriages between mutes, prompts the suggestion thut it is a great pity so little attention has been given to that wonderful theory known as the Powell, from Its chief advocate. He denied that marriage of cousins led to had results where the temperament and shape of the forehead were different. lie proclaimed that idiots, malformations, insanity, short ness of life, low vitality, etc., are sure to result from marriages between parties of the same temperament and shape of forehead. For forty years an advocate of this theory has been an observer and has gathered statistics wherever he has been and in every case the Powell theory is confirmed. He says, "find me a family noted for diseaee, early deaths, mental weakness, and invariably the parents are alike in temperament. Fortunately, where natural Inclination is permitted to rule and the infernal arts of the matchmuker do not interfere, or the love of riches, unlikes seek each other. The forehead of one ouiiht to be, say lofty and straight, or the other retreating, eyes and hair different. Powell's followers used to demonHtrate the truth of his theory before public audiences so as to make it seem wonder ful. The most ex pert could ut a glance describe the temperament of the purents of those in the audience and toll the diseases that afflicted those nreaent whom they never saw before. lint any one can satisfy iiimselt of the truth by just looking around among families he knows. Children of unlike parents are hardy, resist disease, live out their lives sound in mind and body. But so little interest do people take in this that theory is forgotten. Even the savages know better and avoid unions of like families. A new and elegant lini! of SPUING 3IILLINEUY ...JUST ARRIVED... Come and Get Our Prices. Shoes given away at the Eastern Shoe Store.
