"STRENUOUS POLITICS" AMONG
THE LOCAL FACTIONS. '
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

note that the saw mill at the school,
which is run by students, turns nut

They also saw all tho wood which is
used at tho institution. ,ik

PULLMAN ORDINARY SLEEPERS.
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.
