The re markable record in the three Northern states elections this year is a good index of what we may expect in November. When Oregon in June repudiated pop ulism and democracy and elected the re publican candidates by the largest major ities in the history of the state there was a general rejoicing. When, later, Ver mont gave a republican majority greater than ever before at the state election,' the people all over the land applauded, but now comes Maine with 40,000 and more for the ticket—a majority never before ap proached, with every one of the big four congressmen returned by majorities away up in the thousands. The republi can majority is larger than the total dem ocratic vote. From Maine to Oregon is a long ways, whether considered territorially, socially or industrially, but the voice is the same. No more democracy and poverty. Pro gress and protection is the watchword to victory. All the early states have now voted, and the result shows no reaction from the landslide of last November and of last spring when democracy seemed to have perished from the face of the earth. Next November will show a still further demoralization of the party of free trade, of “infamy and dishonor.” The democratic party has pleaded guilty. No republican can bring worse charges than it has voluntarily admitted. It seems hardly necessary for the case to go to the jury. The honest thiug is for the party to abdicate. This not being probable the only thing for the jury to do is to convict by a unanimous vote. When a man is prosperous he loves to indulge in speculative philosophy, to theorize and experiment. When he is hungry he finds that speculative philoso phy will not till his stomach. This coun try has had enough of experimenting, and the anxiety manifested by the people to get back to the old foundations, is the best possible .pledge of republican suc cess. The states of Oregon, Vermont and Maine point the way to victory.—[Phil adelphia Inquirer.

Yesterday’s Oregoniau has a lengthy article speculative of Gov. Lord’s appoint ments on his staff when he assumes gubernatorial duties. I t is assumed in the article, which is dictated from a desire to draw out denials or confirmations, that either Col. Beetle of the First regiment, or William Kapus, late sec retary of the state central committee, will be appointed brigadier general, though the item says that a prominent lawyer of Salem desires the position. For adjutant general, several Portland gentlemen are mentioned, but it is stated that A. N. Gilliert, ex-postmaster of Salem has a strong pull for it, also that State Supt. McElroy has many friends working for him in that connection. I t also mentions an Eastern Oregon mau, John W. Lewis, of The Dalles. Mr. Gilbert stated to a Statesman reporter some time ago that he would ask for no position at the hands of Gov. Lord and thereis every reason to think he meant it. The value of the Oregonian’s specula tion is lost in the last paragraph, which expresses the only certainty in the whole fabric, as follows: “No one as yet knows what Governor-elect Lord will do in the making of appointments. It is his in tention to leave for the East in a few days to visit friends and relatives, and until he returns and becomes governor in fact, who will lie appointed is entirely a matter of speculation.” Gov. Lord makes no promises. He has plenty of applica tions for all the places he will be culled upon to till and he promises to give each a thorough, impartial investigation, choosing with the best judgment at his command when the time comes, but not before.—| Salem Statesman. Due to th e New T ariff. Washington, Sept. 24.—Brazil has ab rogated her reciprocity treaty with the United States. The formal announce ment was received at the state depart ment yesterday. I t came in the form of a letter from Minister Medouca, Brazil’s diplomatic representative here, and said that in accordance with instructions from his government, he gave notice of the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty, to take effect January 1 next. The action of Brazil in this matter is taken as a result of the passage of the new tariff law, which does not hold out any induce ments to other countries to grant special rates of duty to products of the United States. In the reciprocity treaty, which was negotiated by Secretary Blaine and Minister Mendonca, it is stipulated that either of the contracting powers can ab rogate it by giving the other three mouths’ notice. Brazil, therefore, is merely carrying out this stipulation. There is nothing especially significant in Brazil’s action, except that of and after January 1 she will place such duties on American articles covered in the recipro city treaty as she may see proper. The former duties imposed on American goods shipped to Brazil will be restored, it is believed, while the majority of that coun try’s product will continue to come in here free, as under the reciprocity treaty, the only difference being that had the McKinley law been in effect of the time of abrogation the duties under that law would have been imposed on such articles. Similar reciprocity relations which the United States has entered into with nine other nations, it is expeetad will also be abrogated. G unning Accident. The Eugene Guard of last Thursday h:is the following report of the latest Lane county gun accident: Wm. Naylor, who resides at Uobnrg, was out shooting birds, with a double barreled shotgun, yesterday about 4 o’clock in the afternoon. He discharged one barrel at some game and set the gun on the ground. While arranging some thing about the piece, he has not a very distinct remembrance of just what it was, the other barrel discharged striking him in the breast. The shot struck him near the lower end of the sternum and plowed along through the muscles of the chest across over the heart and lodged in the muscles in front of the left shoulder. Luckily not a shot penetrated the cavity of the chest. The injured mau went to the house a short distance away and a messenger was dispatched for surgical aid. Dr. T. W. Harris, of this city, was in the vicinity and was soon overtaken. He found an ugly tiesh wound almost large enough to lay a man’s whole arm into lengthwise. The charge of shot, the two gun wads and considerable powder was extracted from the muscles and the wound dressed. Noted P ioneer Dead. Salem Statesman: A pioneer lady with an interesting history died at Eugene a few days ago and was buried Sunday. She was Mrs. A. A. Skinner, and was one of five lady school teachers sent here from Vermont by the governor of that state in 1851 with the self-sacrificing aim of civilizing this far-away barbarous region. Her name was Lincoln, and after teaching school a few years she married Judge A. A. Skinner, then a territorial judge, who died some years ago, leaving her a widow, which she faithfully re mained. Those five young ladies had a remarkable career and played an im portant part in the building np of Ore gon, socially and politically, showing that they had the shrewdness and Yankee gumption of the right sort, O do of them married Governor Gaines, another married Joe Wilson, afterward a con gressman, and another married Alanson Beers, one of the early Methodist mis sionary settlers and prominent in the government affairs of those days, and another married Frank McLench, also prominently connected. KLAMATH LANDS. The Military Reservations at Klamath Indian Reserve. Senator Dolph recently addressed a letter to the secretary of the interior in regard to the lands within Klainath mil itary reservation. The secretary, for an swer, sent the following from the com missioner of the general land office: Washington, Sept. 12,1894. lh e Honorable the Secretary of the In terior Sir: I have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt, by reference from the department, of a letter dated Au gust 5, 1894, addressed to Hon. J. N. Dolph, United States seuate, by t he In dian agent at Klamath agency, Oregon, and copy of a letter from one of my predecessors in office, bearing aft indorse ment of Senator Dolph, inquiring “if the reservation mentioned cannot without delay, be surveyed, appraised and sold without further legislation.” Iu reply, it is proper to state that those parts of the military reservations without the Klamath Indian reservation, may he surveyed, appraised and sold without further legislation. The history of the reservations. “Fort Klamath” and ‘‘Fort Klamath Hay Reser vation.” is briefly this: The two reservations were reserved for military piirposes by executive order dated April 6, 1869; they were relin quished and transferred to the depart ment of the interior dated May 4. 1886, for disposal under the act of July 5, 1884 (23 Stats., 103). Between the dates of the executive orders mentioned above, the township, 33 south, range 7% east, containing said res ervations, and the northwest coner of the Klamath Indian reservation, was regu larly subdivided, in 1878, into sections and quarter sections, no attention being paid to the boundaries of either one of said reservations which are laid down ou the plats (copy enclosed), as detailed in a letter from the surveyor-general for Ore gon dated July 11, 1873. as follows: * * * * * * * “I also caused to be traced upon this township plat the military aud hay reser vation at Fort Klamath made from the field notes of the same. Accompanying the letter from your office to my prede cessor under date of May 27,1869. There is no mention made of this reservation iu the field notes of the survey of the town ship for the reason that the deputy had no knowledge of the existence' of any such reservation. The reservation had not been represented upon the official maps of this office; I therefore was ignor ant of the existence of any such reser vation until since the return of surveys of Deputy Owen, I came to the knowledge of the fact by looking over the tiles of letters from your office.” * * * * * * * The field uotes mentioned do not state that any corners were established and marked upon the ground. In one sense the lands within the reservations have been “surveyed,” as statffi in the gen eral land office report for 1891, page 149, but, as said so-called surveys do not properly fix the boundaries aud corners, for appraisement and disposal, I will at once give the necessary directions to fully carry out the provisions of the ex ecutive order, dated April 6,1869. Five, and possibly six full quarter sec tions of 160 acres each are embraced within the hay reserve. Please advise this office, at the earliest convenient date, whether these full quarter sections shall be subdivided into 40-acre or small er tracts. (See section 2, 23 U. S. S tat utes, 103.) For ready referance, I enclose a photographic plat of T. 33 S., K' 7% E., upon which the full quarter sections are marked with a red cross. The papers referred to this office are herewith enclosed. Very respectfully, S. W. L amoreux , Commissioner. “I oonsider Cuam berlain’s . Cough Kemedy a specific for croup. I t is very pleasant to take, which is one of the most im p o rtan t requisites where a cough remedy is intended for use among children.

Chicago, Sept. 24.—Collector Bussell yesterday succeeded iu disposing of the colossal globe in the government build ings at the world’s fair. The globe was sold to the South Park commissioners for $19. I t will be removed by the com missioners from its present location to the German building in Jackson park, where it will remain as a permanent at traction. The globe, which is 20 feet iu diameter, aud is covered with statistical information, cost the government $13,- 000. It was prepared as an exhibit of the department of the interior. A Notable Mining' S uit. Nelson, B. C., Sept. 21.—The jury brought in a verdict today in the famous case of Doc Hendry and Captain Hay ward against Hennessy Bros. The Heu- nessys discovered and located the Noble Five group and other prospects in the Slocau mining district, being t he original discoverers of that camp. Hendry and Hayward claimed that they “grub-staked” the discoverers, and brought suit for a one-fifth interest. This the Hennessys denied. The jury found that William Hennessy was “grub staked,” but not John. This gives the plaiutiffs a one- tenth iuterest iu the group, which is worth from a half to a million dollars. Hot W ater F r u it D rying. W. P. Wright is experimenting with a new kind of fruit dryer. He uses hot water iu pipes to do the drying. At. present he has six compartments each holding four large drying trays, and cau add other compartmeuts as they are needed. Each is entirely separate from the others, aud six rows of parallel pipes . extend under the trays in each dryer. The pipiug connects with a coil of pipe in a brick furnace. When the tubes are filled with water and heat applied it sets np a circulation ’ through the pipes similar to the circulation of the blood in the human system. The heated water forces itself through the tubes, giving off its heat to the drying fruit as it goes. By the time it gets back to the coil in the furnace it is partially cooled, only to be heated and again go through the same process.—[Polk County Itemizer. Butte, Mont., Sept. 24.—Judge Knowles, in the United States court this morning, found H. B. Calderhead and five others, leaders of the American Rail way Union, guilty of contempt of court, interference with the movement of the mails and interstate commerce on the Union Pacific railway during the recent strike, aud sentenced them to imprison ment for 30 days in the county jail and to pay a fine of $100.
