' It will not croiito HiirprIno, pcrlntps to announce that the opposing hIiiiiIoh and colors of politics In Multnomah county liiivo already begun to mix and blend and to dili'tino their tints in tho II rut blunti of renewed activity. Tho coliortH of tiuciiiiqiicrcil IcadorH of loose elements in tliu liuinloipal mi'flli of politics liiivo begun to pre pare tlioir challcngc-n and to plan con ditions upon which they will re-enter the Held of contest for another round of the local bout; and upon these plans and their execution depend much of the spico of the struggle in the county and state elections to fol low one year later. Tho success of the "Citizens' move ment" a year ago in this county tend ed to upset arrangements that would have followed the ascendancy of the regular order of things In tho work to be assigned the party representatives In tho legislature; but it is now con- ceded that conditions arose during the session which virtually resulted in n defeat of tho purpose for which the faction representatives were chosen. The work of the Multnomah delega tion during tho last session of our state congress may Imj marked "Ex hibit A" in tho voluirie of evidence to Iki represented against the success of the Citizens' ticket. Other "ex hibits" are promised and prepara tion is already lioing mado to declaim them from the housetops. On tho other hand, it is found that among tho leaders of the faction which mado tho Citizens' watery a hallelujah aru prominent and influential Repub licans whose counsel in the formation of plans and purposes cannot bo safely put aside; that tho regular organiza tion must yield a point or two, or tho "balance of power" which they claim to hold may throw to another party faction strong enough to make tho coalition the dominant inllucuce In the light. Altogether it is an interesting prob lem and its solution has already be gun. It is being watched with much interest, not only by thoso actively engaged in it, but by laymen whose interests arc co-equal with those of tho leaders. In tho municipal arena, however, tho lines are being drawn more de finitely. For instance, there are al ready half a dozen candidates for the ollico of sherilV, each of whom claims to enjoy tho priority of right in tho Held on tho Republican side of the dividing line. Two Demoeratio as pirants, banking largely on ' the strength of tho sentiment which pro duced tho fatal division a year ago, are speculatively viewing the situation for a "hunch" as to what they should do. For the county clerkship, the and- itorship and other nice places names of candidates are being given with much as8iirauce that "something is doing" iu local political circles. The laws governing municipal administra tion, however, are so complex, in tho first place, and so frequently changed, iu the second place, that they are, as n eoiiMipience, little understood lo tweeu the transitions from bad to worse. It is evident, nevertheless, that tho man of tho ward must Ih) up and do ing if he may hope to be among thoo who enjoy tho feast after the early bird captures the worm. Till: MILITAHY SIM It IT. From time immemorial war Ihhui decried for its inhumanity, iv new point of view is afforded litis but now by F.rnost Howard Crosby, the social reformer, who has indued a pamphlet ridiculing militarism for its absurd ities. It is Mr. Crosby's opinion that Mn standing army could not Iw kept together for u mouth without brass buttons and epaulets," while the dec orations worn by a hero "aro tho oiviliml equivalent of tho hcalps that dangle at n savage's ML" Tho mili tary spirit, Mr. Crosby thinks, is i largely vanity and its practical' mani festations are ridicously inconsistent, as is shown in its "barbarous machin ery for mangling man and its lied Cross for piecing them together again." It Is not tho fighting, biit. the parade and circumstance and the hysterical emotion which go with it that appeal to men's imaginations. Mr. Crosby fails to recognize that if vanity is an essential element in sustaining armies, then vanity under present conditions of international distrust must bo recognized as a use ful and necessary factor, but ho is not without reason in several particulars. Tho siccta'cular element has been prominent iu all campaigns from the time of Alexander. It would almost Hcem that War in this -way has an swered to tho requirements of some un noticed aesthetic sense in tho race. Should the peace question be turned over to a committee of aesthetics, with instructions to find n moro hitman method of satisfying this souse? DESTItUCTIVE OF EMPIRE. The czar of Russia proposes to make his realm industrially independent of tho world; to convert his empire into it vast industrial hive. The country has enormous resources, minerals of commerce iu great supply, natural power to bo utilized, vast territory to bo peopled with towns nnd villages, unnumbered acres to be brought under cultivation, and, in short, Russia is to avail of her resources and to be brought into closer touch with tho world commercially, and, as u manufacturer, possibly become an industrial and manufacturing com petitor of nations which now very little feel her inlluencc. This is all well, and it speaks for progress and enl ightennient ; but it cer tainly means a decline of czardom, or ezarlsm, so to speak. Unless history belies itself, such development and progress as Russia proposes, nay, and has already entered upon, means tho introduction of tho Republican spirit, the relaxation of the rigor of autocra cy, tho enlargement of tho representa tive system and greater voice of tho people iu tho administrative atVairs of tho nation. The czar cannot remain aij autocrat under tho operation of such Influences as broaden commerce, inaugurate industry and encourago closer touch with the more active and liberal elements of tho world, Tho president and his cabinet are enjoying their swing around tho cir cle. They will soon reach tho sunset boundary of their journey, tarrying a considerable time iu California, and then proceed to Oregon's metropolis, where a grand wolcoino awaits them. The chief executive and his party will learn much on this tour more than could have been communicated to them by wire or mail iu a period of two M'oro years of ollloial life. The president will profit by it; so will tho Pacific states of this great union, It is worthy of note that the state of Daniel Webster and Dartmouth college should have departed so far from the traditions as to have to bo sermonized by its governor regarding the proper observance of the Fast day? F.lhcrt Hubbard, Mark Twain and other homo missionaries should make haste to penetrate darkest New llamp- shire lioforo tho Mexican society foreign missions can roach thfro. for It is not strange that tho navy de partment is seeking recruits among the young men of the West. The strong cons-tit ut ions and physical btrength of men of the West recommend them as recruits, and experience has shown that although roared far from salt water, iu many oases, they make tin' bosd of hoanion. How will the public reconcile his past with his present utterances? How will they account for his Midden conversion, and will they follow him iu his apparently implicit confidence? In other words, can Press Agent Aguiuahln deliver the goods? The city council nnd the hoard of public works are up against the real thing. Kach is trying to determine whore tho dividing line lietwoon them exists and what their responsibilities are when they find their places, It might cheer up tho ltritish. at homo a little if General Kitchener would nluudou tho habit of licginning his dispatches "1 regret to report." People from the East are -flocking to Oregon iu greater numbers than ever before at this season of.thcyear. They arc generally a sturdy lot of im migrants nod come, for the most part, to acquire homes nnd hclpto Ulevclop the resources alout them. It is manifest. that tlio chancellor of the exchequer docs not expect that the Ilritish will bo ablo to operate those rich South African mines tho present season. Tho trial of Professor Eastman the charge of murder is one of on the most, peculiar in many respects in the history of criminal trial's in Massa chusetts. , Tho embezzling bank officials in Vancouver who committed suicide upon lx;ing found out were a pair of very considerate chaps, at least. The combine question is assuming mammoth' proportions. Something must Imj done and that in tho very near future. TUSKEGEE NOTES. Mr. I). 11. Gamble, of tho firm of Proctor fc Gamble, soap manufactur ers of Cincinnati, 0., visited Tuskegco tins week. Aside from being a busi ness man, Mr. Gamble is interested in education. He came hero in the interest of llcren college, situated at Herea, Ky. ; inspecting the industrial departments with a view of establish ing industries more extensively in the above named school.

Tho tourist travel between tho East and tho Pacific coast has reached enormous proportions In tho last few years, and calls for a special class of equipment. To meet this demand the Pullman Company has Issued from its shops what it technically calls the "Pullman Ordinary Sleepor." These cars appear similar to tho regular sleepers, being built on the same plan, but not furnished with tho samo ele gance. They aro equipped with mat tresses, blankets, sheets, pillows, .pll-low-caBes, towels, combs, brushes, etc., requiring nothing of tho-kind to bo furnished by tho passongor. Each car has a Btovo for making toa and coffee and doing "light housekeeping," and each section can bo fitted with an ad justable table. A uniformed porter accompanies each car, his business being to mako up berths, kcop tho car clean, and look after tho wants and comforts of tho passengers. In each of tho trains which aro dispatched dally from Portland by tho O. R. & N. Co, Is to bo found ono of theso "Pull man Ordinary Sleepers." Tho car ht tached to tho "Chicago-Portland' Spo clnl" goes through to Chicago without change, and the ono In tho "Atlantic Express" runs to Kansas City without change. Passengers In this car for Chicago change to a similar car at Granger. Much of tho first-class travel is bolng carried in theso cars, tho rates being lower, and tho sorvlco nearly equal to that In tho palacq sleepers. For rates and full information, In cluding folders, write to A. L. CRAIG, General Passenger Agent, O. R. & N. Co., Portland, Oregon. , When going-to Astoria tako n ride on tho "White Collar Line," under the management of the Columbia Iliver & Pugct Sound Navigation Co.
