Mr. Mills has a corner on "claims," but how he is fixed with votes remains to be seen. As Mills would make about as - unfit 6peaker as it would be possible to select we trust that the democrats will elect him. His occupancy of the speaker's chair would make thousands of republican votes. Tbere is no discount on the Americanism of Bishop Keane, He says this country is not only the grandest organization of pop filar institutions, but it is also the Best embodiment of human fra ternity and of Christian civiliza tion which the world has yet seen And the bishop is not a candidate tor office. Italy has no man of-war that can reach our coast with coal enough left to boil a teakettle We hope she will send her big ironclad ships this way. We need a navy for coast guard purposes, and when her shipi reach here out of coal we will take them away from her and keep them. It was bound to come. A dem ocratic paper charges that the administration is responsible for the existence of the "Mafia" at New Orleans and for the recent occurrences in connection there with. There is about as much foundation for this as for the aver age charge made by the democrat ic press. hie JNew lorl Kecorder very justly remarks in view of the fact that of the three United States senators elejted by the Alliance, one is an editor, the second a law yer, and the other a preacher, that the next time it has any big office o bestow it should give the farm ers a show. Present indications are that the Parnell envoys will not collect enough money in America to pay their individual expenses. This is not because American sympathy for Ireland is waning, but because Americans refuse to endorse the dishonorable private acts ot Mr. Parnell. Major McKinlky in a recent speech stated the tariff situation in four lines as well as it could be done in four columns. He said 'JNothing 1 can say or the new tariff can help it. Nothing its en emies say can hinder it. Its oper ations alone can do it hurt." If this country isn't the best in the world, particularly for those compelled to work for a livelihood. why is it that the working people of Canada, Newfoundland, Cuba, and Hawaii are so anxious to see their " countries admitted to the United States? Tii rousing receptions given Major McKinley everywhere he goes are an indication that the people are beginning to under stand the benefits of the tariff bill bearing his name, which was so unblushingly lied about last fall. "Uncle Jerry" Rusk believes in the right of1 American meat to fair- treatment abroad, and the American people believe in "Un cle Jerry." ' Between the two be liefs it is dangerous for foreign governments to get. Ex-Speaker Reed has gone to Europe for a long vacation. He has earned "a- good rest, and he should take it in order to worry ttie big democratic majority in the west-house.- CERTAINLY, OF COURSE. The vagaries of the Italians here are simply funny. They now demand an amendment to the con stitution ot the United States to .make that instrument more agree able to them. Certainly, of course Let us put up a sign at Castle Gar- aen inscrioea, "It you don't see what you want, ask for it." While we are amending things in this country, we will also have a law giving somebody authority to see that these people who spit upon our flag and in the faces of our people are summarily sent out of the country. They '.want exactly reciprocal rights, they say, and they know it to be true that no American would be permitted to print in Italy against that govern ment and its people the insults and falsehoods and threats which have been printed in the Italian papers here against this govern ment and its people. This is an abuse of the hospitality these peo ple have enjoyed here. We did not invite them to come to our country, rhey came of their own accord. The most of them never knew how a full belly felt till they got here. The lowest class of them, organized into a murder society, fries to control the highest and best class through fear of assassination. Ihere are many worthy Italians in America, men and women acceptable to the citi zenship of any nation on earth, but the amnestied brigands and azzaroni are just now posing as Italy in America and professing stand still while they are assassi nated. These people have worn out their welcome in this country. They are not wanted here, and just a little more covorting and insulting tajk will secure for them an invitation to go back to their diet of stewed thistles and mullein leaves in that "civilized land" where the conditions of life are so narrow that robbery and brigand age and beggary are regarded as legitimate occupation. Alta Cali fornian. From the accounts of the rav ages of the Huns and Slavs in the coke regions of Pennsylvania one might imagine the tenth cent ury back again. Public order must be maintained against the assaults of barbarians, but there is no need to waste any sympathy on the pro tected mine owners and manufac turers whose property is threaten ed by this uprising. They im ported these hordes of savages to this country to keep down the wages of American workmen. They violated law and public policy to do it. They herd their serfs to the polls on every election day to cast ignorant ballots and cut down wages Now that they are swallowing a little of their own medicine and finding it unpleasant to the taste they have no right to complain. S. F. Ex aminer. The Astorian says the Farmer's Alliance people have yet a good deal to learn about practical pol itics. Farmer Dowell, the treasur er of the Farmer's Alliance in Ar- Itansaw was buncoed out of $3000 of the Alliance funds last Thurs day. It was the same old game, the cards, the sharper, the steerer and the goose, Dowell playing the goose with disheartening success. Baron Fava will increase the pleasure with which Americans witness his departure if he will take with him the Mafia and laz zaroni and amnestied brigands who have been dumped upon this country by his Government. Will he Fava us to this extent? If the democratic split in Chi cago shall result in the election of republican mayor of that city visitors to the World's Fair will have reason to be very thankful for its occurrence. Reciprocity is such a good thing that the nations of the earth are all howling for it, and Uncle Sam can leisurely take his choice. Upper Willamette shippers are greatly disappointed at the with drawal of the steamer Northwest from that route. They had hoped much in the way of lower freights and better service because of com petition, and are " more than ever of the opinion that trusts are rob beries and opposition boats an un certain quantity. The Toledo and the Northwest had no sooner be gun to make trips on the upper river than the Oregon Pacific sent one of its boats down to get a share of the trade of the Lewis and Cowlitz rivers. It being di mond cut diamond, a truce was soon declared by which the Ore gon Pacific boats now control the traffic of the Willamette. The great river makes an excellent feeder to the Company's road, and by means thereof Corvallis will be come one ot tne liveliest towns along the whole upper river. It is absolutely necessary to tne u. P. which has no other means of connection with Portland, that it maintain its present effective river service, ana unaer tnese circum stances shippers have little to fear, even if -there is no competing line of steamers. Even a monopoly is not to be dreaded, when its every interest is directly concerned with those of the people who must de pend on it. The Oregon Pacific boats will always be seeking car goes to Portland, for to this city they must come for merchandise to be distributed along the line of its road to Yaquina, or to the sum mit of the Cascades. The future greatness of this water highway is already apparent. When the Ore gon Pacific has surmounted the summit of the Cascades, and brought into close relations the flocks and herds of the vast ranges of Eastern Oregon, and tha grains vegetables and fruits of the Wil lamette valley, there will then be two or three boats where now there is one upon the river, and Portland will be brought into close relations with that great section of Oregon lying just east of the Cascades, from which it is now almost wholly isolated. Oregonian. Senator John M. Palmer, of II inois says the Chico Enterprise, peddled clocks in that state a half a century ago. Many democrats and Farmer's Alliance men now see in him a presidential possibil ity. What a chance for allitera tive head-lines that suggests. If Palmer should ever reach the White House one might expect to read of "Pilgrim Palmer's Progress from Peddling to the Presidency." The Indianapolis Journal get a cinch upon the eternal truth when it remarks that "whenever the country gets into a pinch requiring statesmanship, diplomacy or gen eralship, the people are glad to have the Republican party at the helm." Miss Ella Rockefeller is in Seattle. She is twenty-three years old and has just that many mil lion dollars. The Seattle Times Press says she is very pretty. She certainly has a very lovely figure. A Kansas paper 6ays, "Kansas leads all other states in the pros pect for a big wheat crop." Ore gon leads all other states for a sure crop every year. No drouths or grasshoppers here. Mr. Cleveland has written an other letter. This time he gives tfie farmers a little "taffy," but the American farmer is too shrewd to be caught by such chaff. ' As an explanation that doesn't explain Governor Nichols' letter to Mr. Blaine, concerning the recent killing match at New Orleans, is a great success. The news from North Carolina indicates that the moonshiners are closely allied to the "Mafia," and quite as ready to murder officers of the Jaw. m l ' The latest news from Chili is that the seat of war needs patch ing. It has been sadly peppered. Linkville Star. 1 ADULT OA TECHISM. - "Which is the richest and most prosperous country?" "The United States." "In which country is the wealth the most widely diffused among the people?" "The United States." "What are the principal causes of this prosperity and the general ly diffused Avealth among all classes?" "A protective tariff and a sound and stable currency." "Who gave the country these blessings?" "The Republican party." An exchange says, the biggest jcke of the legislative season is on the North Dakota legislators, some of whom are alleged to have ex changed their votes for boodle. When they quietly presented the checks that they had received, the bank teller quietly passed them back, with the remark, 'payment stopped." The Salem Statesman says the gentlemen in the Oregon peniten tiary are the politest fellows imag inable. They are always saying "pardon me." A New York city official is .in dignant because somebody tried to bribe him. What's the trouble? Wasn't the price offered high enough? Turkish teas are the new sensa tions in Washington. The society girls appear in Turkish costumes, and the decorations are all Turk ish. A Kansas farmer who announc ed that he had discovered a new kind of kind of chinch bug nar rowly escaped lynching. The spring campaign of the Hatfield-McCoy war has been jie- clared off, for the present. MOBTAR-SPOTTaD SKIN. Covered with Scales. Awful Spec tacle. Cured in Five Weeks by the Cuticura Remedies. About the 1st of April last I noticed some red pim ples like cniingr out all over my body but thought nothing of it until some time later on, when it began to look like snots of mortar spotted on, and which came off in layers accompanied with itching.
