The strike has created considerable ex

Certainly; we must do it." "WIiv are

Gbammaivjaxs are wrestling with the
"long-felt want" of an impersonal pro
noun or ra'her, of a personal pionoun
of common gender for the English

: make people adopt such a word, when
Invented, and 'that is to make slang

The Mind that can become so fren
zied by disappointment as to criticise
his Wst. friends as Mr. Blaine has done,
is unworthy of the Presidency It
seems that it would be impossible for; a
person of such magnetism to telegraph
to the National Committee and cal'
them a "pack of fools," but such seems
to be the fact.
Tnr. Purt!ai.d Board of trade has
taken tha initiatory steps towards or
ganizing a Board of Immigrat'on. This
is i matter in which the entire State
should feel an interest and offer all the
mateiial aid in her power. Incalculable
benefit to the entire Stat would of ne
cessity bo derived from a well organ
ized Board of Immigration.
The week has produced a bit I of
political humor. Barclay Henley, the
single Democratic Representative.; of
California in tlio coming administration
declares, in an interview, that he needs
ihe prayers of all good people, and
surely he is a fit subject fo- sympathy.
Ifeis overrun wilh applicants for office
under Cleveland, and every man vho
has remained faithful throughout the
long years of defeat, every man who
bore a torch, and .thousands who have
done neither, want office, Henley says
that if all who hare applied to him as
Democrats had voted f.a- Cleveland,
Blaine would have been boat mi fifl nn"

Ther
e are now 272 prisioners con
fined in the Oregon penitentiary. At th
time Geo. Collins was appointed war
den of the penitentiary, which was
little over ;i year ago, oly ISO pris
ioners were confined in that instution
thus making an increase of 92 during
vi.v .jju cai( vi- an increase ot more
than one half of the original nnm
oer. 1 he penitentiary is now greatly
overciowded. Originally it was only
planned to keep 212 persons in confine-
i l
ment; ana only a tow months i--o 140
new cells were added making accomo
dations for 252 prisioners. It 1I be
seen that there is a surplus of 20 pris
ioners, and that it U necessary to put
more than designed in each cell, and
-that further additions must be made at
an early date. .Ex.
The Radical press are now pulling
each other by the ears over the respec
tive statements of how it happened that
James G. Blaine came to be left in th
great national handicap that has just
been run. One class cf organs are vi-i
olent in asserting that tin prohibition
ists did it, and nothing short of St.
John's scalp will reconcile them and
heal thir political-, wound. Another
lot of astuta fignrerg are equally cer
tain that Rv. Burchard did it with
Ins littlo "Rum, Romanism and Rebed
ion" speech which these same identical
scribblers applauded so loudly as good
I'-p'ibL'en'i doctrine when it was deliv
ered. Stili another lot of party ,.t t!r
savers figured it all out, ot tli Dim., m
ico dinner to which Jay Gould enveig
leJ Mr. Blaine. Fortunately however
no cno has yet charged either Belva
Look wood or Ben. Butler with the
crime of defeating the Republican par
tya narrow escape for their aspirants
or Presidential honors. E.

It would be no easy matter to forshad
... ... ...
t v ll r 1 1 y of tin ii cr nni,T ailminis
atvation Junius it were fcr the fact that
the whele course of President Cleveland
has been of snih legality as to leave
no doubt that he is equal to the great
task set before him. This '.greatness !
consists in his honesty his integrity,
his patriotism, at .d his sound judgement'
A party which has been for twenty four
years out of j)wer looser a great deal
of cohesive power cf compact organiza
tion and becomes simply the unorgan
ized month piece of the people. In the
case of .the Democrsaic pa' ty however
there have been great underhihg fun
damental principio3 which appealed to
the heart as well as the head and kept
the party alive. It s safe to assume
that these principles will be the foun
dation 'of Piesident Cleveland's admin-
t
istraticin. Whether a simple return
to the policy of our forefathers would
be sufficient to reorganize the latant
energies ot a party is a tair matter for
debate Maka haste slowly is a i(ood
maximj for the Democracy at this time,
be notideceived. The people have the
greatest confidence in and res,.ect for
the paj-tv. Thvy wish it to make no
mistake. They pray for it to be solid
ratherjthan brilliant. They asks its
foundation to be broad and safe. In
31 the walks of life President Cleve
land lias shown firmness and zoh
judgement, candor and simplicity. He
represents tliore qualities which mde
J. ckson the idol of the Democracy,
and ho brings great administrative ex
perience and ability to tho discharge of
his duties. He is backed by the peo
ple. It is for him to bring together
the crfide wishes of the people into
compact form. It is for him to shape
the destinies of his party and his coun
try. For his integrity, his wisdim,
Ir's Democracy the greatest, truest ever
given; to mortal man has been awarded
him. ; So far no mistaks have
been imade. And when President
Cleveland brings back our goveiroent
to the former simplicity when the
great Avork of reform and retrenchment
has been completed, then his adminis
tration will begin the work of grappling
with those great new issues which have
t
sprung up through modern inventions
and the extsut of modern corporate
power. As a leader and definer of
principals he has the opportunity of
Jefferson and he has the ability, the
honesty and firmness to use it.

PS0TZCTI0N A FALLACY.
The result of the late election has de
veloped the fact that the comercial pol
icy of the United States in the future
cannot proceed upon Ihe assumtion
that vre are an isolated country, shut
out from the rest of the world. James
G. Blaine in making protection the par
amount issued in the campaign has
done 'a great deal in turning the atteu
tion Of the present generation to a study
of tie tariff question and its relation to
theirj individual prosperity. By iuves
ligation of this question our farmers
and trades people readily understand
the influence which eutsido markets
nave upon our wh.-at fields even ro the
tvmote interior in ascertaining the far
mers profit on his surplus grain. Thv
readily see that a high protective tariff
cannot maintain tl e price of our a -ri-cultural
products. Investigation and
the Bureau of Immigration demonstrate
that the high protection tariff instead of
protecting the American laborer from
foreign competition bring hither
swarms of opperators from these foreign
shores to co . pete with him at his very
door. While tho short sighted policy
of a high protective tariff increases his
oast of living and the increase of pop
ulation raises his rent while his wages'
are reduced or entirely cut oQ' by rea
son of the immigrant from Europe
taking his place or what is not infre
quently the case the 'mill' shuUin-
lown on account of the over produc
tion simulated by the falacious thoor.

TEMPEEA1T0
Many are the anathemies we hear
uonounced upon the temperenc.
cause and especially asainst St. John
ind prohibition by Republicans and Re.
mbl.can leaders. This we are not
surprised at when it eminates fmm
well known votaries of -Bacchus: biu
to hear persons who ha; e b-i stufore
prided themselves as temperance il
formers now prophecying that the tem
perance cause has been put back fortv
years by the candidacy of St. John and
that no one but cranks voted for him
and prohobition leads one to doubt
their sanity or that they were ever
honest in advocating prohibition.
Jf the cause of prohibition is found-d
upon principles cf right. Those who
had the courage and manhood to stand
up before the American people and
vte for their principles can with a
aeifj approving conscience afford to
umiou'e! the slur and epethets
heaped upon them by their former as-
saeiates and co-workers in the ieaiper
ance cause and say with ono who snf
fered pefiSectttiou.s ud even death from
the same tlass of b . pocritrs. "Father
ji meicy foigiw theiu they know not

causa is put Wik at all it will jibt be

Says "It is possible under the provisions

the republicans lay this unction to their
souls and take Sulace from the pros
pects of a longer lease of office they
overlook the fact that this law was
formed for the purpose of turning ras
cals out and to secure hun sty in the
administration of the affairs of the
government. It was the mrognce an,
fie extravagance with which these
offices wen; administered that led the
people to declare for a change at the

DISGEAOEiUL.
Sometime since Iltnrv Gaterman, a
well respected citizen of taio city, fell
sicllind bis sickness developed a men
tal malady of distressful character. He
was kindly cared for by friends and re
markably so by the Odd Feiiows Lodge
of this place, who cheerfully rendered
that care and attention that so uody
illustrates the order. Despairing of
securing a cine here, they concluded, to
Bend him to the Asylum at Salem, pre
suming that Ise would be humanely
treated a:id receive proper attention
from those specially qualified to furnish
relief in such casts. We trust, whilst
living, that Mi. Gaterman received or
dinary care but his disease seemed to
have been incurable and finally on the
8th i nst. he died. Immediately a prop
er committee of the Lodge toh'gr.tphed
to Dr. Carpenter to send the body here
for interment. And hn did send it. It
was placed in a plain, but as for the
matter of that, perhaps sufficiently re
spectab't coffin, but the body was un-
w ashed, undressed and b-low the waist
had n covering' save S1 shw.t- in .which
the corpse was carelessly wrapped. We
aie not of those who believe in funeral
pageants or extravagance in the burial
of our dead, but a decent respMet for a
supreme inexorable law is Instinct in
the heart of every true man;.nd woman
in tli land. Would the lamented Dr.
Hawthorne have done that It, is an
insult to the memory of a pure, noble
christian man. Would Dr. Joseph i
have suffered a body to have left the
Asylum, whilst he was in charge, in
that condition 1 This is also almost an
insult to the honored living whose every
act would repel such an insinuation.
There can be no pretext that Dr. Car
penter oi his sei vants feared that they
would not be compensated for proper
services rendered. Thev knew that the
Odd Fellows of Roseburg would meet
every honorable obligation by them
assumed.
The legislature which sits in January
next will name the successor to Dr.
Carpenter and we profoundly hope
they will not be cajoled to nominate
him to succeed himself. Everything
being even Ue reasonably expect that a
Republican w'ill be selected to this most
dedicate and important trust, and with
this we would be most heartily content,
provided a competent, human physi
cian is selected. Of the latter there
are very many iw the Republican party.
