When the democrats were plan ning their tariff scheme they were loud in expressing their de termination to open "the markets of the world" to all American products. They Avere especially strong in their promises to the i Council Proceedings. An interesting and well at tended meeting of the city coun cil was held Monday night.

The controversy between this nation and England seems to be narrowing down to a definite issue. It is somewhat difficult to arrive' at the real status of the affair, for in the telegraphic re ports so many surmises and con jectures are mixed in with the real facts. However, at the pres ent time It seems that either one or other of the two countries must recede from its present position in order to avoid war. If the most authentic reports obtainable are true England says it wont arbitrate, while the United States declares England must submit to arbitration the territory at present in dispute or reliu quish all claims thereto. We have been taught that war is a terrible thing, a national calamity. We have realized that such lessons are true. We are even yet in the shadow of the war of thirty years ago, yet it is doubtful if the average American would not rather welcome a call to arms and find sweet music in the alarum of the army bugle. The mildest mannered of us would certainly prefer war to a back down on the part of Uncle Sam. A SILLY MATTER. legislature was in his seat. In farmers, picturing the nations of i addition to the regular business the world drawing on the surplus from the great industry of Amer ican agriculture. It has been shown that under the new order of things American manufactur ers have lost some of their foreign markets, and at the same time have had to compete with greatly increased importations of foreign manufacturers. The farmers have fared even worse, and no small portion of the present agri cultural depression can be traced to this source. The Gorman Wilson tariff law went into effect late in August, 1894, and, there fore, a comparison of the figures for the year preceding and the year following September 1, 1894, gives a fair idea of the operation of the McKinley law and the democratic "bill of sale." The following table tells the story: In the last issue of the Gazette appeared an item concerning Mr. Ixmis South worth in which that gentleman was quoted as believ ing that the county division was an unwise movement. A paper calling itself the Lincoln County leader comes at the Gazette with a wonderful deluge of vile English and the most daring of ungrammatical sentences. It de clares to the Gazette a few facts which we are most truly thankful to know. It obligingly informs us that the county di vision is an accomplished fact. The editor of the L,eader is a profound student and points out the page in the session laws of '93 wherein may be found the act. He tells the Gazette that this paper "can not turn back the scroll of time and obliterate from the pages, of history this actual fact." We have never tried. We, however, accept the editor of the Ieader as authority on the "turning back" proposition as he has very little to do but ex periment. The leader rather unwisely indulges in what it Intends as sarcasm concerning "broken down political hacks." Such an attack on the pillars of its county is downright treason. What else was Lincoln county organized for but as an asylum tor a tew homeless and worn out politicians? For shame, Mr. Leader man;don't smite the hand that feeds you! However, all this is absolutely illy. That little Toledo oyster paper can't see beyond the rock it's clinging to. Mr. Southworth was not the spokesman for the Gazette. He has a right to his opinions and is a man worth quoting. ie saia ne was sorry 01 the county division and he certainly has a right to be sorry if he wants to. But what has this to do with the Gazette ? This paper was left on the east side of the division line and has no proper cause for kicking. We are not kicking, and don't have to kick, the little Leader to the contrary notwithstanding. The Gazette has no fight whatever to make on Lincoln county. This paper is always ready and willing to aid the de velopment of our sister county by any means at our command. It has ever lifted up its voice in behalf of the completion of the Yaquina harbor improvements, T ' . . . . .Lvincoin county certainly nas a bright future but it needs several things that will aid it materially on the road to prosperity. It should have a newspaper that is liberal, enterprising, capable and respectable. One that is not owned by the little coterie of petty politicians that attempts to control the destiny of the county. ; It should also rid itself of that self same set-the ring that man- ages the affairs of the county to their own aggrandizement. j Breadstuff's Totals AGRICULTURAL IMPORTS.

This brought a number of interested spectators to the meeting conspicuous among whom were numerous aspirants who are anxious to fill the vacancies should the present police officers be removed Among those present who are said to be willing to dou the official garb of the chief of police were Frank Turney and C. B. Wells. The position of night watchman, however, seems to be more eagerly- sought after there being at least seven candidates in the field. Those spoken of in this connection are Fred Oberer, Geo.

The direct loss to the American farm ers' market from this source alone is more than $125,000,000. Small wonder that agriculture is depressed, when in a single year it is deprived of the sale of that amount of produce. The farmer, as well as everyone else, is pay ing a big price for the experiment with democratic management. Troy (N. Y.) Times. The San Francisco Call sug gests that Mr. Cleveland could have saved himself a great deal of trouble and pleased the coun try better by substituting for his usual 'long message, a short note of resignation. The projectors of the Wilson-' Gorman tariff bill prophesied that at this time the country would be in possession of a com fortable surplus. Instead of that there is a deficit of $70,000,000. When they said "country," they must have meant some other nation than America. Charges have been preferred against the chief of police and the nightwatchman by a number of reputable citizens and business men. The matter is now in the hands of the men who are sworn to look after the interests of the city. The accused are entitled to a fair trial and will no doubt be given every opportunity to prove their innocence, but if the evidence sustains the charges it is believed that every councilman will do his whole duty. Taxpayers of Benton county will consider the burden of a regular session of the circuit court a seriously heavy one as they examine the bill of ex penses. There seems to be an unnecessary waste or extrava gance somewhere that business like methods can cure. The county court is not responsible for under the present system it has little or no power to even audit the bills but must oav all claims as sworn in. The circuit judge certainly should look after this matter of expense a little more closely. He is in part to Diame tor tne piling; up of costs. liut the whole system needs re forming.

The many left-handed comments flung at mo on account of the venture, certainly call for some explanation. I do not object to mild and just criticism, but when on is repeatedly reminded of his short comings by such en dearing throws, as: "I thought you had more sense than to build these hard times!" "You must be crazy!" - "Who' going to get this one?" 'I admire your energy, but butdisaprove your judgment,'? and soon, in such admirable terms ss has caused me to wonder what inventory of words can relieve the monotony, and such unearned persecu tion. To these I would say. it is I who should be surprised at your stupidity. Any one, whoso head is not filled with sawdust. must surely have (either by exDerienco or observation) realized that we have had near ly three years of democratic hard time and idleness, that can only be replaced with re newed prosperity, so wa are told, by a return to republican rule. This, no one can doubt. as evidenced by the recent elections in the east. Bob Ingersol has said, when Kentucky goes republican he can be converted to Chris tianity. With Eobert a Christian and Ken tucky republican, what fears havo we that great waves of prosperity will not follow. O.'ye republicans of much faith, why stand yo idle? Do away with your pessimestie and disgruntled ideas. You old cheese, get a wiggle on yourself and prepare for tho rush. We hoar aiready the roaring sound 1116 dashing waves against the eastern slope of the reckies, and should they not meet with the fate of being snow-bound and find an unwelcome grave in the depths of the many great canyons, by the floods of melt ing snows in the early sunshine of spring, we must expect to be deluged with the long promised and much desired return of pros perity." j In conclusion it might bo well to add that the structure will be pushed to compleeion as rapidly as possible, and should the exoected wave fail to cross the summit, oj meet with serious delay, I will contribute the building to the use of a home forthedisamointed and and dissatisfied democrats and republicans whose erring minds have so fitted them for the asylum by becoming populists.
