■S! I fHE TIDINGS ASHLAND FRIDAY EDITORIAL MOTES AMD MEWS, Both the (»rant’s Pass Courier and the Medfuid Monitor, neither of them a party paper, support Judge Webster. There is an intimation that the Presi dent will veto the River and Harbor Ap propriation Bill. Fie is said to be very much dissatisfied with the bill. Chas. F. Woerishoffer, the biggest bear in Wall street, died of apoplexy last Mon day. He was a young man and reinarka Lie successful in the great stock gambling business at the nation’s metropolis. A grand jury at Cincinnati last Satur day indicted John R. McLean, editor of the Enquirer, Murat Halstead and Rich ard, Smith, editors of the Commercial Gazette, for publishing lottery advertise- mepts. Gen. T. G. Realties and Henry Klip I>cl both prominent Democrats of South er« Oregon, are aspirants for the survey or general's office in this state, for which an appointment will soon be made by the President. ------------- « « Our state conventions of both parties put in resolutions for home rule in Ire land. But it may be doubted whether the realM interest in \h’s subject was so great as that felt in the Irish vote in Oregon.—[Telegram. •• ♦ ♦ I another terrible tornado . Two years ago Judge Webster was elected to his preseut office with the mi deratauding iqarn the part of most of those who voted for hi-u that his election was for six years. He has made a good judge—one in whose character ami abil ity the people have not been disappoint ed. His term shuuld not be cut off now at the end of one-third of the time for which it was stq.posetl he would serve. Mr. W e’nster’s opponent at this time, Mr. Neil, is an attorney who h u earned a good reputation as a criminal lawyer, ami is one of the membeiw of the bar > f Southern Oreg'-n t wh m a defendant i needing a skillful att -r*iey first turns. He Ii is lieeii excepti i.ally successful in this branch ■ f his pr fessi >n, and is e needed t ' be an able and shrewd att rney. yet the very qualities th it have won him suc- cess :w a criminal lawyer are such as would weigh against him in a test < f qualifications for a judicial p< sitioii. Ru- fus Ch'-ate. perhaps the greatest criminal lawyer and the tn st influential man with :«• jury that ever graced the American bar, would have made a very poor judge, and upon a just discrimination v. -uld have been defeated f ■rstich a p sition by any one of a hundred men in B st'ii of whom the world has never heard.

He has dig nity and honor enough to recognize the fact that it is unbecoming in a can didate for so high a position to go about the district “fixing up" precinct delega tions. The fact that Nickell makes the coun ; ty clerk's office th« headquarters of his scrip operations—a kind of broker shop witji the county books under his thumb for reference—under the present admin istration, will nut help the chances of the present incunil>ent of the office in the coining election. ------- Concerning the nominees on the stato tickets gossipi says that Cornelius, Repub- licdn candidate fur Governor, Hermann, Rebtiblicau candidate for Congress, and Butler, Democratic candidate for Con- gresa, are all temperance men personally, and do not drink at all. Peniioyer, too, is a temperate mail, but takes his bitters occasionally with “tho boys." To the level-headed Weston Leader is due the eiedit of originating the follow ing sensible paragraph: “What umic | iliable sight than the hide-bound par- tiwn who feels in justice ls»und to vote fol a man that he 'knows is untit for the JW)Biti«'U?" It is already widely quoted by tho press throughout the State, and will be a favorite text for the political preachers in the present campaign. For county commissioners the Demo cratic convention last Saturday nominated Ben Haymond, of Rock Point, and Judge Walton, of Medford. Both are good and capable men. so far as is known to the writer. Mr. Haymond is an old citizen of the county, a man of good judgment, experience in business and an excellent reputation for integrity and square deal ing. Mr. Walton is not so well known in the county outside of his own imme diate neighborhood, but the people of Medford all speak well of him, ami in form ns that he is familiar with the meth ods and details of public affairs, having repeateJly held responsible positions in Lane county. G. IV. Curtis is still boss of the mug wumps. On the 6th he was re-elected president of the New York Civil Service Reform Association, and made a speech concerning President Cleveland's merits, difficulties and achievements as a civil service reformer. He praised the Presi dent for his efforts, but declared that Lis party did not afford material for a Cabi net devoted to civil service reform. He thought that the President’s course, un der the circumstances, must be steered between the interests of his party on one hand and the interests of reform on the other, and the inevitable end of such a course is disaster. He hoped the asso ciation would continue to support the President. it is encouraging to the people of southeastern Oregon to see Portland bus iness 'neu and Portland journals appar ently taking some interest in the need of good wagon rigid connection between the lake country and the O.

There is no true Oregonian who enjoys the prospect of the trade of this import ant section of our state King turned ov er for all time to San Francisco, to en rich California merchants and increase the taxable property of California at the ex|>ense of Oregon’s tax roll and Oregon's growth and development.

'J he Lathrop school was the scene of a terrible disaster, the building I falling to the ground and entombing hundreds of helpless children A large grain house was totally demolished, caus ing a serious loss of life. '1 he storm swept all before it. Many people, un aware of the seriousness of the storm, «ere lilted bodily from their feet and hurled through space like so many feath ers, receiving terrible bruises. In the suburbs of the city large numbers of houses were blown down, injuring and killing many. The scenes around the court house were so terrible as to be inde scribable.

Six persons were buried in the debris of the wrecked court house, but were dug out bleeding and bruised. The large spice mills of Moffat & Smith were totally wrecked. A large factory on Third street was com pletely destroyed. By 1 o’clock five bodies and fifteen injured had been re covered, but live are yet missing. An overall factory was also razed, and a num ber of pel-sons buried in the ruins, sev eral of whom have been taken out terri bly injured and two are dead. The greatest activity prevails at all the ruins, and willing hands are digging for the I wounded and dead. The awful catas trophe at the school has sent grief and I mourning into hundreds of houses. Fifty have'been removed from the ruins, and seventeen of them are dead. Many little ones were bruised and many mangled beyond all recognition and can only be identified by the clothing they wore.
