Those who hnvo carefully obsorved tho result of tho preliminary canvass In the raco for tho gubernatorial nom ination do not hcBltato to concerto that ITon. W. J. Furnish of Pendleton, en joys tho lead. This situation Is all tho moro crcdltnblo of Mr. Furnish when 'It Is considered In connection with tho fnct that his competitors for tho honor aro nil popular men. Promi nent among them aro Governor Geor, of Marlon; Hon. Henry E, Ankcny, of Jackson, and Judgo Lowell, of Uma tilla. It cannot bo snld, howovor, that cither of theso aspirants Is so general ly admired by tho people of the state and so entirely freo from party entan glements as Hon. V. .1. Furnish, whoso life has been that of a busy mnn in largo affairs of trado and commorco, In which ho has earned tho abundant Bticccss which has rewarded his un tiring application to business and to tho development of private and pub lic Interests In Eastern Oregon, where ho hns resided for thlrty-otio years. In conscnucnco of his romnrknbla success In everything ho haB under taken and his great porsonnl popular ity throughout tho state, Mr. Furnish has finally yielded to tho Importunity of promlnont party loaders to become n candldnto for tho nomination for tho governorship of Oregon. Eminent politicians of tho state hnvo carefully pursued another con sideration In tho innttor of selecting a candldnto for tho chief oxocuttvcshlp against whom factions will havo no ox cuso to lodgo complaints. Tho Domo crnts, conscious of being unable to en- Joy ti winning chanco of success in a gonornl opposition of tho Republican ticket, will dovoto all their tlmo, skill and strength to tho work of nominat ing nnd electing a popular Domocrat to bo govornor of Oregon, trading nnd swapping ovorythlng olso for tho suc cess of that ono candidate It Is ovU dent, thoroforo, thnt tho Republican candldnto will havo n contest In tho cnmpnlgn that will not niltnlt of much play on general chanco. It will not bo bo much a contest betowon tho pnr ties, In this case, as between tho In dividuals who ropresont thorn at tho head of tho tickets. Party londors hnvo, thoroforo, chos en wisely in tho seloctlon of Hon. W. J. Furnluh to lead In tho contest for that nomination. Ho Is essentially a mnn of tho people, for among them ho hns acquired his education, his ex perience In many lines of extensive business, his success and tho nnmo of being ono of Oregon's foremost cltl awns. No ono has dono moro than lion. W. J. Furnish for tho profitable development of tho boundless re sources of Eastorn Oregon. Ho is nn Indofatlgnblo worker; In tho very prime of life, strong and vigorous and possesses a broad conception of pub lic needs throughout tho stato. M,r. Furnish will como to tho con volition with the strength of every county In Eastern Oregon. Thero will bo no doubt of his election If nominat ed, nnd no question of his making a strong, able and most popular govornor. their support; nnd oven If It were, It would better fall than to commit It self to such an outrageous policy. There Is too much doferenco shown to tho grafter. That's how ho came I to bo a professional personage of some Importance In party work. Tho public, however, has discovered tho I character of his ruso and tho purpose I of It and probably tho ethereal ru mor now afloat may Do attributed to that fact. Administrative matters In both tho county and city will be af fected by tho proposed measuro of economy, It is said. Let us hopo that this whispered nicssngo Is laden with truth and lots of It. Senator Mitchell's proposed amend ment to the Pnynn Philippine tariff bill comprises cmlnontly Just and op portune clnlms for tho Pnclflc coast stntcs. Should this amendment pre vail, tho groat states of tho extreme West will owe to Oregon's sonntor an Incstlmablo debt of gratitude. The self-conceited Enst seems yet too stu pid In Its consideration of Western In terests to understand thnt any nntlonal ennctment thnt so vitally affects ad versely such Importnnt interests of tho Pacific coast as docs this Payno bill nlso Injures tho whole country. It Is slncorely hoped thnt Senntor Mitch ell's argument on tho Justness of his nmondment will enlighten tho pur blind statesmen of Now Englnnd con cerning tho cxlstenco of our grcnt WGstorn communities. Tho .matter Is In good hands. While wo aro buying $100,000,000 worth of sugar abroad ovory year It Is not easy to see how ratnovnl of tho duty on tho product of Cuba could drive our beet growerB to' bankruptcy, although It might bring tho shares of tho sugar trust down to par. The United States will havo six war vessels nt tho coronation of King Ed ward. Rather an'excess of tribute, it would seem, from the greatest popular govornment on earth to tho greatest monarchy In existence.

Here Is nn Interesting problem. Matches, of course, nre not used In all the coun tries of the world. There nre many primitive peoples who nre still kind ling ilros by striking sparks from flinty substances, Just ns our nncestors did In the long ago, when they made pots nnd kettles out of clny nnd stones nnd knives out of bones nnd the harder formations lu the crust of the earth.

Thoro aro ninny laws passod by tho legislature chiefly for tho bono lit of thoso whoso Interests nre In tho western districts of tho Btato; but Eastern Oregon has never yet sot up tho claim that tho coast counties hnvo reached tho limit of tholr political prlvllogo to oxnet favor. that matter, but theso exceptions nro very rure.

It Is not necessary to create nn of fice of no uso to tho people who pay taxes to Kiipport it merely for the on Joymeut of some political bankrupt, who has not succeeded well enough to pay his party debts.

When Englnnd's heir apparent, tho Duko of Cornwall nnd York, theft known as "Prince George," was doing his sen service, ho wns stationed some time nt Halifax, mid ho used to run out Into tho surrounding country ou little cxpedllous. He wns returning on ono occasion by trnln from n flying trip to n near-by village when Senntor Thomas A. Templo of York County, Now llrunswlck, who Is known as n rnthor pompous Individual, encountered him. The senntor espied the prince sitting In the smoker surrounded by a pile of newspapers, nnd wearing his undress nnval uniform, the cap of which Iwro some rosemblnnco to that worn by tho uniformed trnln boy. "Here, boy!" culled tho sonntor, sharp ly: "give mo n pnpor." Tho young prince looked up nnd quietly handed tho lawmnker one of his papers. The sonntor fished out two of the cumbrous Canadian coppers nnd hold thorn out. The prince took them gravely nnd laid them on the sent beside him. The sen ator's confusion enn be linnglned when, n few hours Inter, ho learned the Iden tity of tho "newsboy" upon his arrival nt Halifax.
