Mrs. Allen G. Tiiurman died
Saturday, at Columbus, Ohio, at
the ripe age of 80 years. She has
twice been married, the first time
to Mr Tompkins, of Louisville,

The chartered car idea from
Corvallis to the World's Columbi
an Exposition has been dispensed
with, from present silence on the
subject,
about it?
Why don't you talk
How about the oannery ques
tion? It is a matter of vital im
portance, and should receive more
than passing attention. A can

Corvallit is becoming progres

sion we must do something to in
vite the attention of moneyed men
in this direction. Capital and in
dustry are especially essential.
Gen. Miles, in his annual report,
recommends that the national
guard of the coountry be mobilized
or assembled at the World's Co

that congress make an appropria

Lieutenant Schwatka's report
of his Alaska tour, confirms other
reports made by preceding explo

Geover Cleveland, in a speech
the other night before the New

The dispatches announce ' the

Iniada, immediately crossed the

According to the Boston poll
list the whole number; of women

vote this year in the whole city is
only 1589, as against 134,0S9 men.
iast year there was .a flurry over
the question of sectarianism in the
public schools, and the number of
women -on the polling list run up
to 8292; .Jbut four-fiahs of these

THE EASTERN ELECTIONS.
- The progress of the campaign in
Ohio does materially change the
outlook for party prospects. There
is nothing certain so far as the
outcome is concerned, but 'the
chances are decidedly in favor of
McKinley's election by a decisive
majority. If Ohio goes Demo
cratic this fall there will riot be
much chance for a Republican
president in 1892. If MKinley's
. majority is unusually small, this
will still be an indication of Re
publican weakness, and the Dem
ocrats will unquestionably have
I very favorable prospects. Should
McKinley get 30,000 majority,
which is the regular Republican
vote, it will show that Ohio is still
true to party principles and' party
creed, atad that she is by no means
a doubtful state in a year of vita!
issues. If McKinley's ' majority
readies 4U.U00, it will look like a
veritable landslide, and will lend
hopejto and increase encourag
ment in party circles. We pre
dict an unusual majority for Major
McKinley.
JNew lorK. will probably go
Democratic this 'all. The bulk
of the party, and the rank and file
of its leadership, are a unit in fa
vor of the state ticket. Ex-Presi
dent Cleveland's presence and ac
tive interest in campaign move
ments, combined with the Hill
clique, are sufficient to harmonize
the Democratic factions, and Dem
ocratic harmony in JSew York al
ways means Democratic success.
The prohibition plank in the Iowa
Republican platform does not give
much promise for the success oi
the party this year, but that state
will prove true in 1892: Massa
cnusetts ugures largely this year
as important to national issues,
The "state, being strongly manu
facturing, wants tree raw materi
als, and it has had democratic ten
dencies the past four years. Here
tofore, on National issues, Massa
chusetts has-been largely republi
can. Should Russell, Democrat,
for governor, carry the state next
month; it may be put in the doubt
ful column for 1892, and the Dem
ocrats will have a fighting chance
If Allen is elected by a decisive
majority, it will be safe to count
on that state as usual, for a bi
Republican majority.
One thing is certain: The result
of the fall elections this year will
settle presidential possibilities, so
far as party creeds are concerned,
in 1892, and if the Democratic
party meets with reverses, it will
lose al! hope for future success,
If, on the contrary, the Republi
can party does not gain material
ly from last year's reverses, it will
be an evident indication of dead
ed weakness. The Republicans
can lose considerable ground . and
still be successful next year, while
the Democrats will have to come
out with extreme gains to have.a
fighting chance in the next presi
dential election. Wait till the
votes come in. '
An agent for some sort of "far
mers' and merchants' alliance"
with headquarters in Portland, is
"working" this section, says the
Statesman. The scheme is to
charge a membership fee, which
entitles members to purchase
goods "cheaper" than from home
merchants. Of course the "suck
ers are not all dead yet, and this
agent will harvest a part of the
crop; but people with ordinary
horse sense will dismiss him very
suddenly. The local business
men of Oregon's towns charge no
membership fee : for purchases
made of them at prices lower and
more satisfactory than can be
guaranteed by some "alliance,"
baited for .suckers." .
About three years ago a Michi
gan man disappeared, and soon af
terwards the body of a man who
had been murdered was found and
identified as that of the missing
man. The family, buried it. Some
time ago they received' a letter
from an Indiana hospital for the
insane, savins that the missinrr
man Jiad been admitted to that in
stitution. He soon recovered , his
reason, and recently returned to
his people, nis mind is- a blank
regarding his life up to the time
-he was taken to the hospital -
ABOUT BRAZIL.
The'Bureau of American Repub
lics has just issued Bulletin No. . 7,
entitled ''Brazil.'? ' It is a very
well gotten up volume of 336
pages, well printed and illustrated.
Its contents embrace a historical
sketch of Brazil, with- information
in compact lorm as to its area,
population and political divisions;
colonization and immigration;
forestry and mineral resources; ag
ricultural products; railway and
steamship communication, finan
ces, taxation and educational sys
tem; commercial advantages and
methods; reciprocity arrangements
with the United States; commer
cial statistics; the constitution of
the republic; a commercial direc
tory, and the tariff duties of Bra
zil. . -
From the constitution we find
that Brazil is in advance of the
United States in that she provides
an educational limitation to citi
zenship. That instrument requires
that persons ignorant of the alpha
bet shall vote at either federal or
siate, elections. It also excludes
from voting all beggars, and all
members of communities of any
religious denominations who are
subject to vows of obedience, etc.,
which imply the surrender of in
dividual liberty. This prohibition
includes all soldiers on pay. The
Brazilians are determined that
none but free men shall vote, and
that they shall be moderately in
telligent at least. '
For several years past the Do
minican republic has been main
taining in its tariff a free list of
articles for the special encourage
ment of its agricultural industries.
By the terms of its recent recipro
city arrangement with the United
States the free list was to be
abolished for all -countries except
the United States when the reci
procity treaty went into effect. In
accordance with this agreement
the president of San Domingo,
under date of August 8, has pub
lished a decree abolishing this free
list, and restoring all articles
named in it to the rate of duties
fixed in the general tariff, which
is an average of 60 per cent ad
valorem. By this action the reci
procity treaty i3 greatly increased
in value for the United Slates.
The article on this free list em
braced among others all classes of
machinery, tools and inplements
for the development of agricul
tural and industrial establish
ments, tallow and oil for machi
nery, guano and manures," zinc
and galvanized iron, cooperage,
sacks of sugar, railroad material
and equipment, barbed wire and
coal. In addition there was a list
of articles admitted at a duty of
10 per cent, ad valorem, which
had also been raised to the full
tariff rates, embracing wood and
lumber of all kinds, shingles, files
slate, and all other' materials for
roofing; bricksr flagstones, cement,
iron, steel and copper, in sheets
or bars, nails and screws, tubing
of iron, copper or- lead, cordage,
wagons, carts, wheelbarrows,
Doats ana lighters.
