THE END OF THE SOLID SOUTH
The East Oregonian and Tribune,
Pendleton's daily newspapers are en-
j gaged in a journalistic war which, just
at present has the appearance of a fierce
conflict. As a general rule, newspapers
accomplish more when they devote all
their energies to building up the town in
which they are Bituated than in spending
vital force in warring with one another.
Both the paper3 mentioned are doing
good work for Pendleton, and doubt
less, after a brief spell of hostility,
$hey will settle down to their wonted
course of action.
President Koberts, of the Pennsylvania
railroad company, stated recently that
the outlook for business for his road was
excellent, and to provide increased facil
Hies for handling the great quantities of
freight, which he could see in the near
future, the road had ordered 60,000
freight cars. This is one of the best
evidences we have eeen in the opinion of
one of the most sagacious railroad man
agers of the country for the business out
look.
The soliJ South has dropped out of
politic?, says the Globe Democrat. Tues
day's republican victories in Kentucky
and Maryland are decisive on this point.
The republican majorities in Missouri,
Maryland and West Virginia last year,
and the practically tie vote between the
parties in Kentucky at that time, was
ascribed to democratic apathy. But the
republican majorities just rolled up in
Kentucky and Maryland can not and
will Dot be attributed to any such con
dition. The size of the recant vote
in both these states is fatal to any pre
sumption of this sort. All the democrats
went to the polls, but thousands of them
voted the republican' ticket, and will
continue to vote it so long as the re
publican party is true to its ideals.
It will be alleged, of course, by the
democrats that their reverse in Kentucky
and Maryland was due to factional feuds
in their party, and in some degree
this explanation is valid. The split on
silyer in the former state and the fight
against Gorman in the latter turned
' many votes over to the republicans. But
these causes were merely contributor.
They simply assisted in turning the scale.
The republican majority in neither state
would have been as large without them,
but there .would have been a majority of
some size or other. There was no split
in' Kentucky on the silver question or
anything else in 1S94, nor was Gorman
or Gormanism an issue in the Maryland
canvass. Yesterday's break in the
democratic line in the south shows that
the causes are deeper than is popularly
supposed, and have been longer in opera
tion.
That is to say, geographical parties
and geographical politics have reached
their end. It will be no longer possible
to determine a state's partisan complex
Ion by its latitude. Mason and Dixon's
line has been abolished. States on both
sides of it will hereafter divide freely on
the questions of the time, irrespective
altogether of their attitude toward dead
and gone issues. The country has
emancipated itself from its bondage to
the ante-bellum era. Texas annexation,
the Wilmot proviso, the Kansas-Nebraska
law and secession have at last
lost their .power to sway the people in
either South or North. A great era in
the nation's political history has ben
closed.
The Salem Statesman pertinently
says: it it cost tne state (2.aiwoe-
liver five prisoners from Grant county to
the state penitentiary with wheat at 36
cents and no sale for hops at any price
and no quotations on wool ; and if it
cost $10,000 to make the assessment of
Marion county what will the next tax
leyy amount to?
Secrets Disclosed.
The following lrom the La Grande
C-ironicie, which tells how they do
things in the city beyond the Blue moun
tains, may help to stimulate the cour
age of some of our citizens who intend
penetrating the mysteries of fraternal
orders :
Shrieks and groans coming from the
direction of K. of P. hall Friday evening,
caused a number of persons to stop sud
denly and then loou for the marshal.
Probably the cause would never have
been known il a New Woman (whose
name is withheld) had not climbed up
in the hay loft over the goat's stall and
witnessed the awful sight.
A candidate was brought in, who was
wearing a scared looked. The chief
stepped down off the platform and pro
ceeded to hypnotize the candidate while
the Sworn Twelve surrounded him with
drawn swords. He was then driven
on surrounded by swords' points on
three sidee, while on the floor on the
fourth side was a rug of spikes. As the
swords closed in on iiim, the poor fellow
gave an awful shriek and jumped well
out on the spikes. The groan that es
caped his lips as he came down would
have melted the heart of a cabbage, but
it Had no eifect on the Sworn Twelve.
The spikes proved to be of rubber and
bent down under the candidate's weigtit.
He was next bound to a board and the
Supremo Juggier proceeded to impale
him with gleaming knives. He remained
in this position until the next candidate
had gone through the ceremony this far,
when he was released and the Supreme
Juggler pulled out his fore-finger nail,
quirk!- i p it, it half way and sharpened
it. It was then .replaced by some
method known only to Maccabees, and
he signed his name iu Wood to tne obli
gation. This was too much for the N
W'oniau and she fainted. When con-
sc.ousness returned the pale moon was
shining through the skylight and the
Soru Twelve were gone.
The Now York state board of health
has been vigorously Io3king into the
adulteration and the deterioration of
drugs, and out of 8,305 samples or drugs
investigated during three years not one
half were rated "good." These samples
had to be obtained with caution and
secrecy, and were taken from shops from
all parts of the state. Many of these
drugs are not much used, but that is no
excuse for their not being what they are
represented to be; and Dr. Tucker, the
chemist of the board, thinks that some
valuable and well-known old-fashioned
remedies, have fallen into disuse because
the thing that made them efficacious is
left out in the simulacra sold. Twenty
six out of 123 samples of chloroform were
found to be impure; and as now and
again we hear of deaths from chloroform
(very rarely, it is true), may it not be
that in the country shops an inferior or
adulterated article has done the mischief?

The geueral situation in Europe and
Asia is increasingly serious. Reports
are rife of a special Russo-Chinese treaty,
which, however, are denied by the gov
ernments. The Russian press is bitter
in its attacks on England, and the
German press manifests CDneiderable
sympathy. The result is a general im
pression that Germany is in favor of
giving Russia free haad in. EasUia, Asia J
