'SjSFfSSSfKjtW "TSW ""-wwiskv!' 0RE30H SEMTIHEL. Saturday, March 22, 1884. Postmaster-General Gresham has made arrangements by which the New Tork mails -will arm twenty-four lours earlier in San Fraacisco, which means that mails bow received in aix days will coine through in firt. Among tha repliti whiife the late "Wendell Phillips ii aaid to hare made to a cwamittee that waited upon him te tee about hia delivering a lecture is the following: "I will come and lec ture en a literary subject for $100 a might and sty expenses; on 'Slavery' for nothing and pay my own expenses." la answer to its own conundrum, "Is this a foreign country' an Eastern paper says Russia leather is made in Coaneetieut, French claret is mauufaet Bred in California, English silk is wo ven in New Jersey, Italian marble is quarried in Vermont, Parisian nick Backs coma from Massachusetts, Span ish mackerel are caught oa the Mary land coast, and Havaaa cigars are rolled up in erery State of the Union. The Western Wool-Growers' Con Tentien, representing half a dozen States and Territories, has unanimous ly Adapted a memorial asking Congress te restore the taril of 1867 on wool, aid stronelr Drotestinz against the reduction nroDosed br Morrison's bill If the Democratic majority in the House continues to antagonize the business interests of the country by catering te the tree trade element of the party, there will be little doubt as te the result ef the next Presidential leotion. "Uncle Sam" as a nickname for the United State? arose during the war of 1813. Samuel Wilson, an inspector f army supplies, who was widely knows as "Umele Sam," having marked a ausaber of casks with the govern- tent insigaie, "U. a," was asked by a workman if the letters meant "Uncle Bam." The joke traveled, aad the Dhresa has einee become a current "Americas." The Eaglish nation waa frit personified as "John Bull" in a pelitical satire by Dr. John Arbuthnot, pablished in 1913, aad intended to rid icule the Dake of Marlborough. Same "freak" Democratic organs utiide of New York, hare been ad vising the party in that state to "ig nore" Tammany this year. John Kelly's organ, the New York "Star," etrikes back with doable leads. It says that "the time has arrived for UuBt, freak talk." Withoat Tam many the Democrats eannot carry New York, aad withoit Now York ae Democratic president can be elected. Tammany the "Star" gives notice, will net be a suppliant for admiarioB to the state convention, as it- feels fully as ablatio get along without the party as the party it to get along without it. And finally the Democrats are invited te put whatever construction they please upon this language. The comment ia political circles about Portland is that the Republican element of that aection will unite and eadesfor to nominate Mr. Caples for Congress with the viww that when the next legislature) meets that M. C. George will be elected for the United States Senate. This certainly ie a strong Slate for Portland and perhaps as good a combination as Portland could turn out. If these gentlemen should be elected then there would be in Congress tram Oregon Dolph, Caples and George, all from Portland. If re sults should finally terminate in this way Portland would certainly bo well represented in the Legislative halls of Congress. Then if in the nominations for other, positions there could bo found a half a do zen more men in Portland who would aeeept other posi tions the make up for officials would be almost turned over to Portland. "Gazette." It is now twenty years since the Democracy held a national nominating convention in Chicago. For that pur pose it has always Wen a favorite city with the Republicans, and every can didate selected by them there has been easily elected. The eae convention held there by the Democracy during the dark days of '64 waa marked byite infamously cowardly and disloyal plat form so disloyal that McCIallan re pudiated it while accepting the dubious honor of nomination. The younger generation of voters now-a-davs hear northern Democratic leaders, when oc cation serves, claiming -that the North ern Democracy of that day was first and foremost in defense ef the union cause, should hunt up that platform and compare it with their professions .of.twentylyears later. It is very in teresting historical reading, but of a sort concerning which Northern Demo crat think the less isid the better. Presidential Probabilities. The Philadelphia Press publishes the following significant dispatch from its managing editor in Washington: The three most prominent obfact en the Presidential horizon are Blaine and Arthur am one tide aad Samuel J. Tilden oa the other. BUine aad Tild en are coming and Arthur going. Of this fact there is no question among observant politicians. The only ques tion is whether the situation will be changed as the time pastes. The swell of the Blain boem is the most patent fact of all. For a month not a day has passed without adding volume to the manifestations of his popularity, and not of his popularity alone, but ef the determination of the Republican masses to put him in the White House. The curious part of if is that the Blaine managers of 1876 and 1880 are doing nothing to help this particular move ment along. On the contrary, they are doing all they can to hold it in. Their plan waa to start the sail a month or so later, so that it might sot have so.far, to roll before convention day. As the Blaine column advances Arthur's gives way. The President began months ago to lay the wires for a renomination. The first steps were taken in the South, where they were most likely to escape attention and where the issue of civil-service reform has never been presented to. the people, either by precept or practice. To sum up the situation on the Re publican side as it is to day, Blaine is well in the lead, with Edmunds and Logan contesting the second place aad Arthur a bad fourth. Logan would be easily second but for the develop ment of a popular demand for the nemination of Lincoln as Vice-President. That ia one of the phenomena of thie campaign. Bach an arrange ment, which seems to commend itself tothemaesei without geographical or any other considerations, is a esrious thini; ia Logan's way. It ie possible to have Blaine and Lincoln, Zdmcads and Lincoln, Arthur and Lincoln al most anybody else and Lincoln iscept Logan and Lincoln. If the eoAftction were held next week or next month, beyond a doubt it would be Blaine and Lincoln. Senator Gorman, Chairman ef the Democratic Congressional Committee, sa) s if things keep on as they are going now there ia nothing that can prevent the nomination of Tilden, though there is not the same certainty about who shall have the te:ond place on the ticket. It seems, however, to be pretty well understood that, if Bom inated, Tilden wi'l decline the honor with many thanks and a very large check to help the campaign. It appears, upon further enquiry, that our friend, Hob. J. C. Fullerton, will net consent to become a candidate for congressional honors, nor allow his name to go before the convention for this pirpase. He feels the importance ef all Southern Oregon uniting an one mas, and that man he delieves is Hon. Biager Herman, who has the ability to represent the interest of our section of the State with justice ta himself and advantage to his oastitueats. There is no question, but that, the aext Re publican nominee for congress ought to be a man who lives in Southern Oregon and is extensively identified with its interests. This section of the State has never yet had a Republican candidate for this important office, and if the delegates from this section, to tha next Republican convention will act in harmony, this nemination can be secured to them, and we know of no man better fitted and qualified than Hon Binger Herman, and we truet that his cause may be advocated to bring about the desired result. "Reaeburg Plaindealer." So mash is said in the news reports about the German relchstsg that American readers may be interested in knowing that that body consists of 396 members. Of these Prussia elects 236, and the twenty five other states elect 161. The liberal factions, if uni ted, would have a majority, and it was believed some months ago that a basis of agreement had been reached. But so far only the liberal unionists or se cessionists and ihe forty-seven progress ists under Richter have come together. These make up about one fourth of the parliament. As it stands, the can ter, taking in the-remnants of the old national liberal party and the clericals holds ths balance of power. The new liberal party, with about 100 members, is on one side, aad the 76 conserva- tirea on the atber, the three groups, right, center and left, taking ya. 283 members. Independent of these are the Democrats, popularists, social Dem ocrats, Alsaoe Lorrainers, Poles and Danes.
