Tiis Oregonian, after years of
party ssmoa, hss at last cut tUe
cord that binds, and is no longer a
rt niwr. It announce that it
f j i r
will hereafter be independent. The
Oregonian haa a nht to nil anj
fisld it chooses. IU editor, U.
8oott, ia today the ableet writer in
the United State, add the cnti
cism ha ia now receiving from cer
tain republican papers, ia in some
cases both intemperate and unmet
The writer haa not always agreed
with Mr. Soott'a Tiews on certain
political questions, but has at all
timea been forced to recogoixs the
editor's splendid ability, and gives
his paper credit for its great wort
in assisting to develop tbe norm
west. As ft republican paper the
Argus haa no sympathy with the
trust wing of the party. It nope
to support Theodore Roosevelt on
an anti-trust platform, and be
lieves the Oregonian, as an inde
nendent journal, will 1 found
leading the republican anti trust
fight on this Coast.
On Monday next, business wil
resume ita old channels without
legal restrictions. The people are
ready for it, and pleased to get out
from under the holiday lid. Tbe
business of the country, generally
is good. In Oregon there are no
hard times. Farmers and busineee
men are practically out of debt
Crops nave been good this year,
and prices have been equally good.
There is much yet in the country
to be sold, and prices have not suf
fered by the financial scare, so,
really, there is no cause for any
thing but an optimistic outlook in
any direction. The lime formes
on banks has gone by. There is
now no occasion, nor has there
been, at any time since the scare.
All that ia needed just now is the
exercise of good common sense. If
tbe people nee the right judgment,
business wHl soon be in its usua
healthy condition, and here in
Oregon we will hardly know that
we have passed through a prosper
ity panic.
Certain of tbe republicans of
Multnomah county want a date
convention before tbe primaries
, while Chairman Westgate thinks
the convention hould be held af
ter the primariee. It is not known
how tbe matter will be decided,
but in any event there will be a re
publican state convention, as there
seems to be a popular demand for
the maintatnance of this feature.
At the primariee candidates will
be nominated for Supreme Judge,
Dairy and Food Commissioner,
two Railroad Commissioners,
United States Senator, two Repre
sentatives in Congress, several Cir
cuit Judges, numerous Proeecuting
Attorneys, 60 members of the State
House of Representatives and fif
teen members of the State Senate,
and for county offices.
Butter is quoted ia Portlaud at
85 cents a roll. We will soon all
be obliged to take off our bats to
tbe cow, and science will be forced
to invent something to take the
place of butter as an article of ev
ery day food. The butter trust is
fat aoS greasy, but the farmer who
feeds the cow, doesn't get bis pro
portionate divvy ana that is
s what's the matter.

from tbe basement to the ruins of the
