SURCEASE AT LAST.
For the first time iu 70 hours there is
some li;rht abatement of the terribly
chronicles of ruin and dVath out of San
Francisco. The world takes a long and
natural breath in sheer relief from the
desperate and continuous relation of the
myriad details of horror, and may now
look to the more cheering and humane
elements of abounding charity and gen
erous encouragement to the stricken
and needful thousands in the great me
tropolis. This country, the most gen
eerous on eartb, is giving in lavish
freedom to the community that used to
lead J1 others in the quality and
quantity of its magnanimity toward
suffering cities and district, and it is
but just and compensatory return in
this hour of her hopelessness. Foreigi
capitals and civic centers are equally
prompt and liberal in their contribu
tions, and the vital question of instant
transportation to the famine-stricken
city is solved at the hands of the great
rail and ship companies that lead or
center there. The hour of amendment
is at hand, and the home-spirit of Cali
fornia will do the rest. San Francisco
will rise from her desolation and in a
few months will challenge the pride Of
the world in her wonderful and syste
matic rejuvenation.

MUST WAIT FOR RETURNS.
The direct primary election which
transpired in this state and county yes
terday will, as far as the following offi
cers are concerned, yield no specific and
definite returns until the Governor,
Secretary of State and theJState Treas
urer shall have canvassed the full and
final returns from the various counties
on Governor, Senator in Congress, Sec
retary of State, Stale Treasurer. State
Printer, Justices of the Supreme Court,
Members of , Congress, -Tudes of the
Circuit Court, District Attorneys, Joint
Senators and Joint Representative und
all other officers to be voted for by the
people of the state or of any district
comprising more than one count'. The
canvass must be made within fifteen
days, which will, if necessary, put it
off until the 5th of May ; but it is with
in the, power of the canvassing board,
beforenamed, to make the canvass soon
er if the complete returns are all on
file at the state rapitol. and the acthial
results may be know n at an earlier date
if expedition is used in the counties, in
ascertaining the vote and reporting it
under the law. Clatsop, like a good
many others, has to contend with long
distances and poor roads in the trans
mission of the precinct returns and her
officers will get everything to the head
quarters at Salem as soon as possible.
The complete returns on county officers
will be known by Monday morning at
,tbe farthest and will be heralded in
these columns on the instant of their
determination at the court house of the
countv.

Oregon politics and their expression ift
the polls yesterday were bereft of all
zest and snap by reason of the trmer
dous public interest in the situation at
San Francisco, and it is probable the
vote has fallen off considerably from
this supervening cause. While this is
to be regretted, it is idle to complain
of it, since it was one of those things
that could not be foreseen noi helped
