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.

Says the Globe-Democrat: England's di
plomacy is nicely adjusted to the strength
of nations. 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.

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

And the desolate nightof the year is past:
The ice-chains are broken, the robins are

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

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.
