Twitchell, Rose- burg. Mr. Hermann is an efficient repre sentative, and worthy of the support of every republican voter in his dis trict and of every democratic voter, too; for democrats, if they could elect the representative, could no elect one so efficient, says the'Ore gonian. As to politics of course "that's different" Men in large num bers will act in politics simply from the party point of view, without re gard to actual facts or conditions, or rational considerations. This is the reason why the vote in Oregon for Bryan in 1896 was much larger than that ever cast since for a democratic candidate, and larger than any vote likely to be cast for a democratic candidate during the next ten years. Since the passing of the silver craze the democratic party in Oregon has been phenominally weak. It is able to allege no reason why it should ex ist; aoesn t attempt to give any, Even its negative propositions are wholly uncertain, changing from day to day. As to Mr. Hermann, again The Oregoman has often criticised him, because he has not been in all thing as direct and "strenuous" as it has desired. Yet it knows that he has been doing excellent work in con gress, during the past session, and is more efficient than any new and un known man possibly could be. Be sides, he is a republican and a sup- porter-of.jepubliean policies, and on republican policies the prosperity of the country is established. It is ten years since there was a democratic house of representatives; and they who remember the conditions that prevailed in 1893-4 may well hope an other ten years will ebipse befori there is danger, even; of another. Mrs. Thomas Merrill was . found drank Wednesday at her home in Pendletorraf ter a three days' debauch, Her lO-yearkild daughter had been i with typhoid fever and Satard ty the mother discharged the physician Mre. Merrill refused to call anothei physician, and in the meantime, the officers claim, proceeded to drown hei sorrows by drinking. Neighbors at tempted to gain entrances, and as n sigtis of life were shown, suspicions were .aroused and Marshall Carney in formed. The officers called at the Merrill home this evening, and upon being refused admittance started ti break the door. Mrs. Merrill almost too drunk to stand, admitted the of ficer. The child was almost dead from lack of care, and was immedi ately removed to the hospital No question but the sympathy 'ol great part of the world, including th. whole of the English-speaking world is with JaDan. For it is believer that Japan has a right to exist, bu. could not exist, were Russian aggres sion in Eastern Asia permitted to con tinue. Russia has no just rightjii Manchuria or Corea. -She is there simply as tm intruder ;and figgrtjasot, and if her career be not arrested she will swallow both countries. This would menace the very existence of span. Possibly Japan may not be able to avert her fate, but she feels that she would better perish through war than to be throttled in peace and supiness. Ex. On the first page will be found tht very latest war news sent out by the Russian government. The dispatch is evidently sent out to bblster up public sentiment in favor of Russia. The report that a train passed ovei the Manchurian line to Port Arthur is false because last week the Russian government acknowledged that the Japanese trooDS had destroyed the ine in three places and burned sever al bridges. The Czar has evident! practiced a little more Christiai. science on the crippled railroad oi omebody has practiced a vas amount of humbuggery on him. Many of the readers of the Plain dealer will go to St. Louis this sum mer to see the great World's Fail and as they will want a good hotel with first-class accommodations am near to the Fair grounds we advis them to go to the Christian Endeavoi Hotel. This enterprise has been es tablished by the leading Christian En leavor men of the United States an is for the welfare especially of tho. .vho want to go to a place run o; lines of protection to thp visitors a the fair and secure the advantages oi good home at moderate cost. Writ to the Secretary for full information. The export of $128,000,000 in gol. to Paris during the last week of Apri brose all weelciy records, in ont week of January, 1895, $7,700,00C was shipped, and in November, 1901 $7,329,000 was exported in one ship A treasure ship truly, but the sailinp of such a vessel has not yet brought a shortage of gold for financial and commercial purposes, though this re- salt has often been predicted, with ssjee waggings of the head, by dolefu prophets of financial disaster an vould-be thinkers with i ur monetan ystem. A pie famine is one of the calami ties which .Boston has experienced of late owing to the strike among the bakers. Fortunately, the disaffection has not extended to the purveyors of of beans and codfish. As three arti cles constitute the standard diet in that city with a large part of the cul tured population, the misery which would be entailed by the cutting off of the supply of all of them at once is too heartrendering to contemplate without emotion. The registry law should be so amended as to apply only in town; and cities incorporated. It is a bur den upon dwellers in large and sparse ly settled districts, who in many cases are compelled to travel one or even two days to register, or lose the right of suffrage. Postmaster Bancroft fired his chief assistant last week but the Postmas ter General reinstated the assistant by a threat to fire Bancroft. The affairs of the Portland postoffice must be in a deplorable condition when such action as the above is pos sible. General Miles Bays the automobile is destined to be great in war. This seems reasonable. It may be used with great effect in running down the enemy. But it ought to be prohibit ed among a peaceful people. Ex. From reports sent out from Wash ington in the past six months it would appear that many of the army officers are rones ana libertines ana engage themselves to respectable women for a nefarious purpose. M th -dii Blihopj Elected. The following elders were elected to Bishops orders last week at Los Angeles and they were consecrated yesterday to the office: Dr. Joseph A.

In 1902 the Republican Congress m the argent recommendation of President Roosevelt, passed the na- .ional irrigation act. Secretary litchcock has now made public a tcheme for putting that act in exten ive operation. In all, something ver $27,000,000 is to be expended cor the projects now formulated. Jhe'ie will cover work in Colorado, 'forth Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Jregon, Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Cali fornia, Arizona and New Mexico, 'hese are comprised in the work irhich has been alotted about 1,000, KX) acres. It is figured that this represents a tract that will be capa- e of eupportiijg at least 5G0,t)D0 persons. When the Republican Congress" of 862 passed and the Republican resident signed the homestead law hey started an immigration to the West which has added as many peo- le to the region on the Alleghenies sunset side in the past f ni ty years a- ere in the thirteen states at th ime of the inauguration of Washing on as President But the eligible and was exhausted, or nearly so, a few years ago, and then the Republi ans came to the front with another ict for the peopling of the West. This is the national irrigation law, which has not yet been quite two years on the statute book. Lincoln's free homes law of 1862 i. being supplemented by Roosevelt's ir rigation act of 1902.

Tens of thosuands of armers emigrated from the United taies to vanaaa in ine past two or hree years on account of the cheap ind fertile lands to be had in that lo- ality. The national irrigation law .vill divert this stream of Americans o the present arid regions of their wn country. When the land recla lauon system now aoout to oe in- ugurated gets fairly to work, lands etter than can be had in Canada, nd in a nnre congenial climate, can )i had west of the 10th meridian in he United States. The irrigation iw of 1902 will begin at onse to lerform its beneficent work. Inci- lently, too, it will have important olitical consequences in the election f 1904.
