THE ELECTIONS.
. JNothing decisive lias been ob
tained by the result f Tuesday's
erections, except that next year
"will be one of the most hotly con
tested presidential years ever wit
nessed on the American continent.
The result is practically a standoff,
-with a light vote polled every
wbere. "The election of McKinley
in Ohio by 20,000 majority is a con
cession that tin's state is safely re
publican on national issues, and
that the tariff as the issue has not
lessened the republican prospects.
Flower's majority in New York is
largely due to local issues, and par
tially on account of the small vote
brought out. The republicans lost
considerably in the" rural districts,
and thus the democrats have secur
ed control of the legislature. The
democratic majority in New York
stale this year will be about 40,-
00 or 45,000. Governor Boies
.ias been re-elected by about 6,000
majority. Local issues, and espe
ially the liquor question, are prin
'ipally the cause of this democratic
victory. The election of Russell,
democrat, governor of Massachu
setts, may be regarded to a certain
extent as a triumph for the demo
cracy on the tariff question. Many
the manufacturers of the Bay
State are demanding free raw ma
trials, and the platform of the
democratic party promises favora
bly to their demands; but no one
doubts that this state will swing
into line next year, and give the
asual republican majority; Penn
;aylvania is republican 50,000 ma
. Jority. This is quite a surprise to
11 parties, as reported local dis
affections in the ranks of the repub
licans, it was believed, would give
-the state to the democrats. The
'farmers' alliance has lost' ground
every where. -That party has been
totally annihilated in Kansas, and
'evidences of its growing weakness
-are indicated in every alliance lo
cality of that state. Thus the re
sult of Tuesday is known, and it
only concedes the fact that party
lines areJbeing tightly drawn for
- the ensuing presidential contest
and that the tariff question will flg
re most conspicuously as the issue
of the campaign-
Christianity means persuasion
rfcy amiable kindness. Did you
vertry to argue a man into the
possession of conscientious scruples
-fright! Then the aim of your
project has been a dead moral fail
wre, and the world is no better in
consequence of .your existence.
Argument generally tickles with
frigid anger a torrid temperament
.It savors too much of flat contra
ffictibn and reels and threatens the
selfish instincts of our nature with
'fixed prejudices. You approach a
meighbor "with kind approval, and
;yeu - do more to .advance moral
ilaw than all the smooth-tongued
'8areasms combined. To reproach
.an individual for evil habits or ma
licious conduct is an immediate
eelaration of hostilities, and war
Js the natural outcome. Love is
ine ten commandments aDDrevi-.
ftted. Christ is the author of love.
JHe said if you love your neighbor
-you would not think of killing
him, or robbing him, or bearing
Jalse witness against : him. The
4en commandments aro all right,
"bnt Christ taught an easier, more
seasonable, more practical way of
. fulfilling them. The word "love"
governs the whole subject. If you
cultivate love you are carrying
-ut the purposes of the Mosaic
3&w, attd you do not have to use a
hole code to- cultivate obedience.

- DARK SIDE OF LO'NDON.
Writes Chauucey M. Depew:
Having viewed so often the bril
liant side of London's social life,
it occurred to me that I would take
a view of its dark side. One Sat
urday morning in a garb which
was a cross between that of a cos
ter monger and a pickpocket, I
traversed the Whflechapel district.
It was a sight impossible to see
anywhere else in the world. The
streets were so crowded that it was
almost impossible to wedge your
way through. Every few feet was
some merchant, male or female,
selling cast-off clothes or- house
hold furniture. I saw racs held
up there for sale that nowhere in
America would find any place ex
cept in the ash barrel, and the ash
man in picking it over would re
fuse to carry them home-. Such
poverty, such misery, such wretch
edness, such a seething furnace of
ignorance, and all that attends up
on howelessness, I never saw before
and never expect to Bee again. I
felt that this great city, with its
magnificent palaces, with every
evidence in part of it of the largest
wealth, the greatest luxury, the
most liberal expenditure, rested
upon a volcauo which only needed
the force of civilization to bring
upon it a catastrophe which would
shock the world. Miserable as
these people have always been,
their misery has been intensified
a thousand fold by pauper immi
gration Great Britain has estab
lished no barrier, as we have, and
imposed no rules whatever. It is
the dumping ground of all Eu
rope for misery that must starve
or go somewhere. It goes to Lon
don and competes with a condition
so much. better than its own, . that
in the wages it accepts, in the
work it does, it is reducing the
British working men and women
of the great cities to a dangerous
point for the British peace and
prosperity. It is a lesson for us to
take to ourselves whether the bar
riers we have already should not
be increased, and whether notices
should not be sent all - over the
world that "We have sympathy.
we have humanity; but keep -your
paupers at home."
The most interesting thin
about the socialist congress that
has lately been held in Erfurt, in
Germany; was the victory of the
moderate element in the congress,
says BradstreetV That body
showed unmistakably its aversion
to the anarchistic views of some of
the delegates, and the . most ex
treme of these left the meeting.
The congress declared against any
change in tactics in the political
field. One of its resolutions . af
firmed that the principles of right,
truth and morality should guide
the members of the party in their
dealings with each other and with
all men of whatever race or relig
ion. The growth of the socialist
party in the last two decades has
been remarkable. ' It numbered
but a little over 100,000 voters in
1871, and in 1890 the socialist
voters numbered 1,300,000. They
had but-one deputy in 1871 and
in 1890 they had thirty-six.
Brother J. R. N. Bell is editor
of one of the best papers in the
Willamette valley the Indepen
dence West Side. lie is no kicker
or fault-finder in any sense of the
terms, but he knows how to moral
ize. In the last issue of his paper
he says: "Every sidewalk and
crosswalk in the incorporation
should be examined carefully by
the marshal, aud all defects should
be remedied at once. There are
half a dozen broken planks around
the premises of J. R. N. Bell that
ought to be fixed, and the editor
of the West Side hereby complains,
and demands that the 'Aforesaid
gentleman fix his sidewalks.'1 Bro
ther Bell reminds us very much of
Socrates, but he hasn't that great
breadth of whatever you-may-call-it
that made Socrates great.
- It is estimated that the entire
net proceeds of the new -Russian
loan will be required to meet the
necessities of those of her people
reduced to beggary by the famine
this year. . As the net amount of
the loan is $100,000,000, we thus
have a luminous idea of the horri
ble destitution that must prevail
aver large areas. .
1-. Again ; we have been kindly requested-to
define, or in some man
ner account for the existence of
the word "Mugwump." This word
is said to be derived from the lan
guage of the Algonquin Indians,
among whom it meant a chief or
person of importance. It came to
be applied derisively to persons
who exaggerated their wisdom and
importance aud during the presi
dential campaign ot 1884 it was
used first by the New York Sun to
designate' those republicans who
refused to support Blaine. The
name was adopted by these inde
pendents who lost-sight of the re
proach it had been intended to
convey.
Some day, doubtless, the moun
tain-sides will be all -aglow with
cultivation. When it becomes gen
erally known throughout the world
that the soil of the Willamette
valley has all the elements of rich
ness, then the people will rush
from the four corners of the earth
to this land of promise, and there
won't be room in the valley for
the settlers. They will naturally
take for the mountains, which are
rich with fertile soil. The moun
tains and hills will some day be
fields of luscious fruits, and thrift
will" reign supreme.
Barbara Fritchie's old home at
Frederick, Maryland, is going to
be onexhibition at the World's
Columbian exposition, they say
But some one has said there was
no Barbara, and that Whittier's
beautiful poem is only founded on
the striking impulses ' of the
imagination. If such is the case,
it is simply too bad. We have been
laboring these long years under
the impression that the poem was
drawn from truth, and that Jack
son's raid through Frederick town
was baffled by old Barbara's loyal
display at the window sill.
Germany is a paternal govern
ment, Instead of confining its at
tention to the preservation ot or
der and the enforcement of justice,
a paternal system descends to the
regulation of the details in the life
of an individual himself. As the
term implies, it is fatherly care
and supervision over the individ
ual by the state. Germany is one
of the strongest governments on
the face of the earl h, for the peo
pie there are- peculiarly adapted to
the operation of such a system.
The' gold discovery excitement
in Corvallis,- of course, failed to
pan out to meet the sanguine ex
pectations of our citizens ; but the
industrial movement. is exciting a
real, genuine interest, and pro
jected factories and regular metro
politan improvements seem to be
keeping pace with the common de
velopments of the city. Evidences
of progression are . indicated on
every hand, aud before another
year we anticipate many good
things for Corrallis.
The . Seattle Post-Intelligencer's
critical talk on the public life of
the late Henry W. Grady has
called forth serious comment
throughout the northwest. The
truth is, Grady was a patriot in
the strongest sense, of the term,
and did more toward the exter
minalion of sectional auimosities
than any other man in the south
ern states. "Honor to whom honor
is due" is incontestable in order at
all times.
Edison, the inventor, promises
us a new electric motor which will
not require . a trolley, and will
drive railway cars at the rate of
100 miles an hour. .Mr. Edison
heretofore lias never promised
anything which he did' not per
form, however incredible it might
seem when - first broached; and
hence we are hopeful. that his hew
invention will be all that he leads
ns to expect from it.
' Blaine's nomination next year
will no doubt depend upon .the
condition of -his health. There is
no question about his constantly
growing popularity, and his .candi
dacy would make republican suc
cess almost a certainty. -
Thb enterprising men of Corval
lis will not lose money in speculat
ing on home institutions. ; Profit
able home institutions are what
make home-profitable. To push
is to advance. - :
Chili's "dough-faced maneuver
ing will have very little effect m
this republic. They are a peculiar
people down there in that country,
but contrary to the Hebrew adage,
they are not "zealous of good
works," by any means. In war,
they are brave soldiers, and they
usually fight to a finish, but should
they meet a Union force the finish
would not be long.
It will probably be a surprise to
most people to learn that Post
master-General Wanamaker's ex
periment of free delivery in a farm
ing district shows that the increase
of revenue more than pays the in
creased expense. The next for
ward step to be taken by the
American postal system will be
free delivery in small towns and
villages and thickly settled rural
districts. ,
Italy has,abolished her prohi
bition on American pork. It was
believed for a time that the antag'
onism induced by the federal
government regarding the New
Orleans massacre would prevent
such a consummation; but the
Italian government evidently does
not let sentiment stand in the way
of a far-reaching benefit to its peo
ple. . '" " -
The political campaign in Ohio
was perhaps one of the freest from
personalities ever conducted in
any state in the Union. The warm
personal friendship existing be
tween Gov. Campbell and Major
McKinley had, no doubt, consider
able to do with this pleasant condi
tion in tne ranks ot tne opposing
parties, and it is a deserved credit
to both of them. -
One of the highest authorities
in the London grain trade . esti
mates that Europe will need to
import, during the six months to
elapse until next spring's crops
come into' market, an average of
5,600,000 bushels per week. This
will mean active business for our
railroads and good prices for our
farmers.
The question of the constitution-,
ality of the-McKinley law is soon
to be decided upon by the supreme
court. Attorney-General Miller
has ho fears of a decision against
it, but it is a matter that is begin
ning to assume considerable inter
est in political.circles in Washing
ton.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent. . .
Washington, 0ct.t26, '91.
The President is not a man
whose wrath is easily stirred up:
but it would have been difficult to
find a more wrathful man than he
was when he received official par
ticulars of the deliberate insult of
fered to the American flag by a
Chilian mob in attacking a num-
inoffensive and unarmed
sailors belonging to the U. S. S,
Baltimore, in the streets of Valpa-
raiso, killing one man outright and
wounding a number of others,
several of whom it is thought will
die. As if that were not enough,
the Chilian authorities arrested
and threw into prison those of the
sailors who escaped the fury of the
mob. ; The President called a con
the Cabinet before
which he read a dispatch . he had
nrenared to be sent to Minister
Eagan instructing him to demand
an immediate and full apology,
and a punishment of the leaders
of the mob. An attempt is being
made here by .those who are al
ways opposed to seeing this gov
ernment display anything like
stalwart Americanism, to make it
appear that, this case is similar; to
the New. Orleans killing of - the
Italian menibera of. the JLafiai but
there is' not the slightest resem
blance. ; 'In that case' the Italians
left their own country and -were
voluntarily living in the. United
States upon the same footing as
our own citizens; in this case the
men were wearing the uniforms of
the United States sailors and were I
only temporarily absent trom their
ship which was lying in the har
bor, near at hand, flying the flag
of the United States. Our naval
force at present in the vicinity of
Chili is unfortunately small, but
if necessary we can soon mass a
sufficient force there to teach these
upstarts a lesson they will not
soon forget The administration
is determined that the fullest rep
aration shall be made for this in
sult.
Senator Palmer, of Illinois, now
in Washington, has a good deal to
say about probable Democratic
presidential candidates from" other
states, but for some reason he does
not have a word to say about Ihe

Attorney-General Miller is just
now puzzling his .brain to answer
a question asked by the United
States marshal at Pembina, North
Dakota. Two Chinamen were or.
dered to be returned to Canada,
the country whence they came;
the marshal took them to the Ca
nadian border, but the Canadian
official declined . to letem in un
less they paid the head tax of $50
each which Canadian law imposes
upon Chinese immigrants. This
the Chinamen refuse to pay, and
the marshal, still having them in
- 9 ,
custody, telegraphed to the at tor
ney- general for instructions. The
trouble seems to have arisen from
a diversity of decisions as to which
is the country they should be sent
back to, China or the last country
thev come from when they, enter
the United States.
Secretary Blaine, looking the
very picture of manly vigor, -en
tered his office at the state depart
ment today for the first time in
nearly six months. During the
time he remained in the office he
was given no opportunity to do
anything else but receive the con
cratulations and good wishes of
cp w . .
the stream of callers, which em
braced about all the prominent
people of Washington. He called
on the "President witnm nalt an

and yesterday he spent severa
hours with Mr. Harrison. The re
lation between the two men is of
the most cordial nature.
