Wonder how the prohis "stomach the editorial in yesterday's Oregonian under the head of ''The "Lesson of Iowa." It was a scorcher, wasn't it? Last Tuesday's election in the east and south as a whole resulted in favor of the democrats. In Iowa, the demo cratic governor is elected by a plurality of about 3,000; with the rest of the state ticket republican; in New York it is a democratic victory, excepting the legislature. Ohio has elected a democratic governor by about 12,000 plurality; Massachusetts is republican alf through; Virginia democratic as might be expected; Mississippi solidly democratic (how could it be otherwise); republican majority of about 25,000 in Nebraska; and Pennsylvania nearly 70,000 republican.- Of course, the democracy ftel jubilant over Ohio, but that won't elect Mr. Cleveland in 1892. Sixty years ago railroads were un known fn this country, and the popu lation ot the United States consisted of 12,000,000 people. To-day we operate upward of 165,000 miles of railroad, and our population has in creased to over 60,000,000. Sixty years ago the aggregate wealth of the United States was less than $1,000,. 000,000; at present it is estimated at $50,000,000,000. Over our 165,000 miles of railroad there was carried last year 475,000,000 people, and 600, 000,000 tons of freight were trans ported. Upon these lines are engaged 1,000,000 employes. Their equipment consists of 30,000 locomotives, 21,000 passenger cars, 7,000 baggage cars and 1,000,000 freight cars. The capital invested in construction and equipment amount to $8,000,000,000, and the yearly disbursements for labor and supplies exceed $600,000,000. TEE POLITICAL DRIFT. A political horoscope at best is com posed mainly of elements of uncer tainty. Yet we may, by taking high ground and avoiding merely local measures and influences, observe and estimate, with a comparative degree of reliability, the general drift of the na tion just as, standing upon some bold headland, we may see the sweep of a river's current, and are not deceived by eddies and "back currents." ' " What is the political drift of the American people to-day? Clearly, to a man whose vision is not dimmed by partisan prejudice or local' coloring, but one answer can be made the republican party has entered upon a new lease of power which it may pre serve, unbroken, for many years. For the coming twenty years it seems probable that the republicans will con trol American politics. Possibly democracy, within that period, may be trusted with the administration of af fairs for another limit ot four years, but this is mainly contingent upon the behavior of the republicans. Dissen sions in its own ranks, it now seems probable, alone can defeat that party at the polls, says an ex. . Of the eight new senators to be chosen by the new states now stand ing upon the verge of statehood, six indisputably fall to the republican side of the chamber. In Montana the courts alone can determine the re sult, with the chances apparantly about even. But even if the democrats gain the victory, at best it can be but short-lived. The remnants of Price's brigade, who peopled Montana in the early days of reconstruction, can offer but faint resistance to the overwhelm ing wave of immigration now sweeping over the west. Probinquity, is an in fluence that party leaders are power lessly successfully to combat. The same influence will predominate in Idaho when the territory shall be ad mitted to the union, and Wyoming also is pretty certain to remain in the republican column. Utah will, in ?11 probability, cast her vote with the democrats, should she be admitted, but in time that state will become debatable ground. Against this at ray of young and vigorous republican tim ber, the democrats will probably have become brighter as manufacturing Arizona and New Mexico, for those territories will be peopled largely by immigrants lrora the . southern , and border states. - In the south the republicans have always had a righting chance, and this, it seems reasonable to predict, will the voters of the states more fully un derstand the tariff question. Thus stands the political question as viewed to-day. Time may entirely change these 'conditions. New issues may arise which, will remold the old parties, or sweep one or both of them out of existence. Such, as a matter of fact, must be' the ultimate result; but for the immediate future the drift is strongly towards republican control of American politics. WEATHER REPORT.

Toledo, Nov. 4, 1889. Dr. H. W. Vincent killed three coons in bis front yard last night It is supposed they were after chickens and got in the wrong yard. Charley Mays moved his family to Toledo last week to spend the winter and send the children to school. Sheriff Mackay's smiling counte nance was seen in our midst the last of the week looking after business and shaking hands with old friends. Justice Burt and Constable Alexan der are doing a staving business in their line. They had two law' suits in tlteir court of justice last week. Mr. Deunck's square cottage is nearing completion and is quite an ad dition to the town. . . W.

CORVALLIS 'JSv IMPROVEMENT COMPANY'S Sale of- h raw u 11 83S o - In JOB'S ADDITION to the City of Corvullis. Fifteen Minutes Walk from Business Center, Ten Minutes walk from New Public School and Court House. The south west portion of the Addition is within two blocks of the State Agricultural College. This most delightfully located TRACT of LAND Immediately adjoining Corvallis on the northwest was pur chased by a syndicate who have platted and laid it out in town lots and blocks, and is now placed upon the market-.'-' The tract embraces seventy-five acres of rich land, there being just suffi cient slope to insure good drainage. The entire tract has been highly cultivated for years. It is the FINEST Now on the Market, and the fact that the growth of ths city both in public buildings and private residences is in the direction or this property insures a rapid increase iu values. . jEflr"Corvallis spent. in public improvement alone the present year $105,000, not to mention private buildings. The erection of three substantial brick edifices, n large steam flouring mill; a block ot elegant cottages (by outside capital) certain to be built the com ing season, with a canning establishment and other enterprises receiving favorable con sideration, speak well lor the development of the ci I y. The long deferred extension ot the Southern Pacific Company's road to a junction with the main line, seems assured the , coming, season, and that the West Side will then become the main line seems equally certain. Then indeed will this side of the valley "experience such a growth and corres ponding increase in values of property as she has never yet known. This is the history of the East Side, and is sure to be ours. That Corvallis will maintain her position as the leading city on the West Side no one can doubt. The State Agricultural College would in itself be an important factor in the growth of any community, requiring for" its main tenance.large and increasing sums each year, and drawing to our city hundreds of families . to avail themselves of .our superior educational facilities. The low prices of all classes of Ileal Estate as compared with some of the much-talked-of "Boom Towns" cannot tail to ' attract capital, and a consequent enhancement of all values will result. It is the intention of the company (and it possesses both the ability"and will) to make Job's addition worthy the attention of both the home-seeker and the investor. The unsurpassed location, within a few minutes' walk of the business centre, schools, public buildings, etc., excellent drain age, magnificent views, etc., combine to make it specia'ly desirable as residence propertv while the investor can not fail to net a handsome profit. The properly is laid off in blocks 200x300 ft.; lots 50x100 ft. The central block in the addition is reserved and will be laid out as a public park and planted in ornamental trees and shrubbery. The com pany have also reserved land for an electric-light station, proposing so soon as a sufficient number of lots are sold and residences erected to operate a small plant (arc system) for street lighting. The Corvallis Water Company have agreed to extend . their mains . through this addition when needed. Other improvements tending to increase the value of the property are contemplated. ELEGANT RESIDENCE AND FIVE ACRES OF LAND thereof and ue settlement of objections thereto. if. M. JOHNSON, Administrator of estate of F. S.
