THE . VERDICT.
The result of f he election yesterday
in the different states or tbe union la
no mrprise to anyone who has watched
the trend of public opinion for the
past two' years. . -In 1392 the people
' were not aware that they were enjoy
ing prosperity, and that wage-earners
were receiving higher wages than
were paid in any other conn try. They
. imagined they were suffering hard
times, and when Democratic orators
told them that a change would be
.beneficial to "all industrial interests
they believed them At the ballot box
: they decreed a change, and have since
suffered the consequences. The Am
erican people now realize the truth of
the matter, and regret very much
' thpir action in 1892. - They no
realize that during the times when
protection was the policy of the nation
there was prosperity in the land,-and
by the most, distressful experience
they have been taught that Democratic
' free trade have been most disastrous
to the best interests of the country,
Daring Republican administrations
they had plenty to eat, sufficient cloth
ing, and received good wages for their
labor; but since the change bread has
become scarce,, there has been little
work, and their families have wanted
food and clothing. They have been'
deluded by Democratic eloquence and
Democratic duplicity. Democracy
made fair promises, . but never in a
single instance has it redeemed one
of them.' During the last congress,
when there wis a sufficient majority
in both houses for the Democratic
party to have made history for itself,
it pursued the most . unsatisfactory
course on the tariff question, and the
people became very much disgusted
. 'Added to the fact of the treachery of
the Democratic party the people all
over the country are ; suffering hard
ships never before known in America,
and under these conditions the electors
of the republic were called upon' to chose
betweeu two great .parties that
have ruled the destinies of the nation
for a long number of years. One in
favor of pi o taction to American in
dustries, and can point with pride to
successful administration of national
' affairs during the most trying epochs;
and the other advocating British free
trade, and for the gates to be open to
the products and fabrics of the world.
Under these circumstances, the vote
yesterday can be considered in no
other light than as an angry protest of
an outraged people against duplicity
and treachery that had been practiced
upon them by a political organization
that pretended friendship. Laborers
went to the polls and in voting against
Democratic candidates believed they
were voting for bread and clothing for
their families. There were hunger,
destitution and the most abject misery
in the country, which had happened
since the inauguration of Air. Cleve
land in 1893, and which was consid
ered the logical effect of the ballot in
1892. It was not men they were
voting for, but a radical change of ex
isting conditions. Factories had
closed down and wages bad been re
duced, and laborers desired a return to
the old regime. These things, which
appealed to Americans in a very practi
cal manner, caused tbe large Republi
can vote yesterday. The time had
come for action,' and there was no hesi
tancy in tbe course to be pursued. If
our citizons had ' been less patriotic
they would not have waited to give
expression to their feelings at tbe bal
lot-box, and the country would have
been disgraced by bread riots in almost
' every city. As it is, the constitution
ai method has been ' followed, and
Democracy knows that its policy is
not in harmony with the wishes of the
sovereign people. '
It may be expected that after the
verdict of yesterday capital will again
become confident, and that business
will receive an impulse that has been
lacking for the past two years. The
Republicans are in tbe ascendancy.
aud this is positive proof that as soon
as possible the protective policy will
again be inaugurated. President Cle ve
land, with his veto power, still stands
as a unsuperable obstacle against pro
tection legislation; but - in 1896 the
electors will elevate to the executive
chair a Republican, and in the mean
time business men must take courage
and know that the end of disastrous
free trade is rapibly - approaching.
Republicans have always been protect
ionists, and always will be. This is
the only successful policy that can be
pursued in the United States, and the
sooner it is re-established the better
for the country.
those who are not against us
are for us." If Christianity is
the active, regenerating principle
that is claimed b its adherents, it
must be - very practicable. It
must attempt, at the beginning; to
change the motive of the-man more
than the pcliar ideas he may enter
tain. 1.3VO t i G jd and love to man is
the corner stone upon which all re
ligion should rest, aud when this ac
uates persons in their dealiugs with
their - fellow men it will make little
difference if they believe ia sprinkling
or immersion, in the nicene or apostles'
creed. If the man, under tbe influ
ence of Christ's teaching, can segregate
the selfishness from his nature, and
devote his life to the betterment of
the condition of his fellow men. church (
relationship will not make him a better
or a holier man Bat, if under the in
tiuence of . a fanatical idea, his life
work is given wholly to increasing the
number - of communicants in any
church, whether it be Presbyterian,
Baptist or Catholic, he is acting selfish
ly, and he has not been regenerated
by the influence of the great teacher.
On the broad plain of universal
charity, universal benevolence and
universal purity, all churches should
be united, and the highest
conception of duty should be
to make men better in every regard.
Not to increase the number of Catho
lics or Methodists; but to raise the
standard of morality, honestly, integ
rity and charity. Every person should
have the right to his opinion if it is
formed on honest premises, and men
should be judged by what they believe.
A church founded on such a broad
basis, would rest on a rock, and '".he
gates of hell shall not prevail against
it."
HOME PROTECTION .
CHURCH TJNITT.
Cardinal Gibbons, of the Catholic
.church, preached a sermon in Balti
. more yesterday on ''Christian Unity,
and gave expression to many noble
sentiments. Amony many statements
which can be endorsed by the Chris
tian world the following will find a
responsive echo in the heart of every
one who believes in the fatherhood of
the day roon come when all who pro
fess the name of Christ may have cne
f lith, one baptism when all shall be
in one fold under one shepherd." If
Christians would confine themselves to
the principles of the exalted morality
taught by Jasus, and not pay so much
attention to creeds and dogmas the
reformation of mankind could be more
easily accomplished. When his dis
ciples, actuated by the same bigotry
that govern modern religious sects.
asked him to stop other men, who were
not of their number their church
isting out devils in. his name,
he ' made that remarkable . say

the motto of every philan
thropist; "Forbid them not, fori
Last Tuesday the people of the
United States endorsed the doctrine
of protection by overwhelming major
ities in almost every sjate of tbe union,
and Americans should put into prac
tice the theories they so strenuously
advocate. If protection is a good pol
icy for the nation, it is for the state,
the city and community, and this is
where the practical ap plica tin should be
made. Goods manufactured by Amer
icans are good enough for Americans,
and every dollar sent abroad is one
taken front the amount in circulation
in th.s country. If kept at home it
woul i increase the wealth of the na
tion, and this appeals to the patriotism
of the citizen.
But let the policy be applied to
naraower limits.- Tbe doctrine of
sovereignty of the state in political
matters has been set aside by tbe ar
bitrament of. the sword; but if the in
habitants of a state do not take greater
pride in their own homes than in other
commonwealths there will be no pro
gress or advancement. If the citi
zens of Oregon do not attempt to make
the state self-supporting it will
always be found in the rear rank. To
this end Oregonians should be -willing
to pay more for Oregon productions
than for those from other states.
Oregon is boundless in resources, but
these will never be devoloped while
every foreign article shipped into the
home market find ready purchasers,
fruKH, dairy products, and manu
factured articles used by our people
should be representrtive of local indus
tries. ' We cannot expect the fruit in
dustry to thrive while our citizens let
their own peaches rot in the orchards,
and purchase the California article
The same is true of dairy products
While - Isthmus butter, California
eggs, and cheese from tbe east nnd
ready sale here we cannot expect
any stimulant to be given to
local creameries. No one will
deny these . facts, and Democrat,
Republican and Populist will approve
of the premises that we have assumed
thus far.
If this is good for the state, why
would it not be beneficial to make a
practical application to the city and
community. Ic is very doubtful if
there is a county or city in Oregon that
attempts to bring the grand principles
of protection to a practical demonstra
tion in their own local affairs; bat de
velopment will never be realized until
the interests of the home are consul
ered paramount to all others. That
Washington understood this principle
from, the beginning of her existence as
a state is tbe reason that her progress
in me last tew -years nas been so
phenomenal. Oregon has pursued a
picayuniBh policy, and if she could
save a xew cents sne would send a
thousand dollar order a thousand
miles distant. Until the last few
years the posters' for the state fair
held at Salem were printed in Ohio and
Michigan, and within the last four
years the tax payers of Wasco county
paid their taxes and received receipts
for the same printed in St. Louis,
Missouri.
This has been suicidal, aod very little
improvement has yet been made on tbis
plan. Today large quantities of tbe
blanks in tbe different public offices in
Eastern Oregon are printed ouuide of tbe
counties in wbicb they are used,
and this, too, when there are papers
published in the locality giving free ad
vertisements to tbe resources of tbe region,
In the ordinaiy course of every day
American justice, whether one believes in
free trade or protection, this ia absolutely
wrong. If there are any source of reve
one that can be controlled by tbe o'
ficials ot any country these should be
given to tbe local papers tbat are tb
best factors ot development And tbeae
officials, at every recurring election, ex
pect that tbe partisan papers will rally
to their auppott, when they have dons
everything posarble to starve them out
of existence. But other matters io
Oregon cities and communities are gov
erned by tbe same roles as those in tbe
newtpaper business. Oregon has always
given a strong vote for protection, bur,
when it comes to local affairs, tbe gates
are thrown wide open to every foreign
competitor, and tbe local factor has been
allowed to 'starve or eke out a miserable
existence.
ITS DUTY.
As a result of the election last
Tuesday the Republican party has
again been entrasted with the legisla
tive branch of the government, and
its duty is plain. From its inception
in 185G its national platforms have
always contained strong planks in fa
vor of protection to American indus
tries, and the powers of recuperation
which the country exhibited after the
drain on its resources by the terrible
civil war have been the result of Re
publican policy. In 1892 Demo
cracy was successful in changing this,
and, for the past two years the people
have testad free trade and its effects
upon the industries of the country,
They have demanded a resumption of
the economics that were in operation
during the years of unexampled pros
peritv. and as soon as possible these
should be inaugurated.
If the senate and house are Republi
can there will be for the next two
years a Democratic executive in the
chair, and his veto will be an obstacle
against protection legislature that can
not be overcome without a two thirds
vote. This cannot be secured, and the
country must wait patiently until they
can change the political predilections
of the executive by their votes. In
1 S9G this will undoubtedly happen,
when national affairs will be entirely
under tbe control of the old party,
The people have endorsed MeKin
leyism and tbe position of the Re
publican party on all national ques
tions. Protection is without doubt
favored by American citizens, and
the duty, of Republicans is to pass a
tariff bill at the earliest opportunity,
To this end the members of congress,
as soon as the next session convenes,
should begin xrork in drafting a bill
to supplant the Wilson measure now
in operation. The vote of Tuesday
was a verdict of the sovereign people
in this direction, and . every one
who owes his seat in congress to the
ballot on that day is under obligation
to his constituency to carry out this
desire. In the past the Republican
party has never been derelict in its
duty, and there ss no reason to ex
pect any deviation from its time-hon
ored principles. It has been true to
tbe best interests of the country and 1
of the people, and there has never been
any cause for regret for "entrusting it
with tbe reins of government, how
ever great tbe emergency may have
been.
court of St. James cannot dictate
the politics of West Virginia. Am
erica for Americans and England for
Englishmen, are good mottoes for
citizens of both countries to follow in
the future.
THE DEAD CZAR.
The Nihilists, to make capital for
tbe principles they advocate, have
circulated a report that the czar died
from tbe effects of poison administered
by some member of their organization.
If this is believed it will give them a
power and influence that will force the
rulers of Russia to give them sonie at'
tention. Surrounding the death bed
of Alexander were some of the best
physicians in Europe, and from the
diagnoses made by these there were
none of the symptoms of poisoning,
The czar was a powerful built man,
of fine physique, and if he had not
confined himself so closely to his palace,
every avenne to which was carefully
guarded, ha might have had many
more years ot life. As it was, ever
since his father was murdered in 1881
there has been a strict guard kept
over him, for fear that he would fall
a .victim to tbe .Nihilists revenge.
With the physical powers with which
nature gifted him he should have fol
lowed some active employment, and
given vent to the great store of re
serve energy that he possessed. If he
had followed the blacksmith trade,
or some other employment that would
require the developement of his mus
cular force, he would have lived to old
age. instead of being pampered ia a
palace, and dying in the prime of man
hood.
EDITORIAL-NOTES.
Tammany has received a rebuke in
New York that it is hoped will be
lasting. Machine politics and ring
control must be eliminated from party
organizations, for - tbe people are
supreme.
Democratic newspapers and Demo
cratic orators have preached the bene
fits of free-trade for two years, and
the people have .guttered the worst
evils they have ever experienced.
Tuesday they consulted the necessities
of their families, and voted accord
ingly.
There is a movement on foot in this
city to inaugurate a scouring mill and
Other manufacturing industries. The
Dalles is better situated for factories
than any point in the northwest, and
if a proper , beginning is made the
growth and prdsperity of this place
will be phenomenal.
Oregonians are not completely sat
isfied because they voted in Jun, and
cannot aid tbe great Republican victory
wbicb is going to sweep over tbe
country tomorrow. But they can join
in the enthusiasm, and hurrah after
the victory hs been won, which un
doubtedly they will do tomorrow
night. -
The Boston Globe says: "Repub-
licaans are trying, to befog and keep
the people from a study of the real
questions at issue." Idle men and
hungry men are not easily befogged
and made to believe tbey are prosper
ous and doing well. Bread and but
ter and firewood for winter are things
tbey have heretofore had, and they are
anxious to know why tbey are cut off.
Tomorrow will be the day on which
the sovereign people will express them
selves at me oaiiot dox, in many
states of the union, regarding national
questions, from the ."signs of the
times it is verv evident in a fe
hours the shouts of Republican victory
will resound from ono end of the
country to the other. ' We are hope
ful, but will control our enthusiasm
until the votes are counted.
Poor Wilson, who could dictate a
tariff policy for the nation and receive
the plaudits of an English club for to
doing, could not secure enough votes
in his own district to be re-elected to
congress. It is very evident tbat the
American factories will be pro
tected, and The Dalles should im
mediately inaugurate manufactur
ing industries. A sconring mill
should lead, and - this should be
followed by a woolen mill, fruit can
nery, beef packing establishment and
other factors of development Capi
tal will take courage since tbe result
of yesterday's vote, and now is a good
time to begin a movement in tbe line
of establishing manufactures.
Secretary Carlisle has decided that
the imported coachman ot Mr. Mor
ton may remain in this country. Under
a provisisn of some of tbe exclusion
bills to stop Mongolian immigration
tbat passed congress it was forbidden
to import any laborers into the United
States, and under this clause Mr.
Morton would have been forced to
send back his English coach mat, who
bad given complete satisfaction, and
with whom Mr. Morton was loathe to
part company.
Tbe dispatches staje the important
fact that Princess Alix has been an
notated with oil by Greek Catholic
priests, significant of the act of re
nouncing the religion of her mother
and that in which she conscientiously
believes There are many poor peas
art girls in every country, who are
far removed from earthly royalty, but
who are so firmly allied to the nobility
of heaven that all the crowns of this
world could not induce them to abjure
a single article of their religious faith.
Such compose the superior classes of
the human race, and czars, kings,
queens and princesses and other
titled nobility, not possessed of this
high quality of integrity, are a lower
grade of humanity.
Across the river in Washington the
people are on the eve of a most im
portant election, and the Republicans
of Oregou extend to them their most
earnest wishes for success. The con
test has been very spirited, and na
tional issues have been freely and fully
discussed by politicians of both par
ties, and next Tuesday, at tbe ballot
box, the sovereign people will decide
which they prefer. Oregon led the
Republican column in June by 20,000
majority, and Washington in Novem
ber should give a good account of her
self. This is a year when those in
terested in the prosperity of the coun
try can afford to mix politics and busi
ness, as under the existing conditions
they are closely related. Give tbe
country good, sound, protection poli
tics, and business will soon resume its
former activity. The people under
stand this, and the Cch of November,
1894, will be eventful in tbat the
electors of the country will reverse
their decision of two years previously.
A Democratic free-trade exchange
says: ".Republican papers and orators
make much to-do over cheap labor
countries, predicting ruin in this
country in competition with them.
We do not believe these papers . and
orators are sincere in this matter.
The south has bad always the benefit
of cheap . labor, so called, but the
north has always done the most busi
ness and been tbe most prosperous.
The south of late has begnn to show
better progress and increased pros
perity, but only to the extent that she
has engaged intelligent labor which is
not cheap. Before the war the
planters of the south were prosperous,
but the "poor whites" and negroes were
so ignorant that they were simply
slaves and serfs to the rulhng classes,
who reaped untold wealth from iheir
labor. The free school has now been
introduced into all southern states,
and. while there are not such vast
accumulations of wealth as during
slavery days it is more generally dis
tributed, and the people aremore in
talhgent, contented and happy.
Democrats, on every occasion, at'
tempt to ridicule the idea of cheaper
wages affecting the modes of living.
However much wit may be wasted in
this futile attempt to attract the at
tention of tbe public fro u the fact that
the decrease in the wage schedule has
caused great suffering ia this country,
the people realize the truth of the
statement that if they work for Euro
pean wages they - must follow the
modes of living adopted there. .. If one
works for Chinaman's wages he must
live like a Chinaman, and if he works
for Italian wages he must live like
Italians, and soon. Under protection
Americans received higher wages
than -any other laborers, and en
joyed more of the luxuries of life.
During the past two years this baa
changed, and Americans have been
forced to practice European economy
ana tunic to keep tnemselves from
want add starvation. This sudden
change forced upon our wage earners
has been a great hardship, and today,
in nearly all the states of the union,
they, are making an emphatic protest
at the ballot-box against free trade
and the consequent evils that have
followed the inauguration of that

Still ClrowioK.
New York, Nov. 7 A survey of the
re' urns this morning confirms tbe batty
estimates and partial returns of last night
in the west, northwest and of the Pacific
coast. The Republican landeide ia over
whelming, and Republican gains in the
aouthweai are of such magnitude as to
suggest almost a revolution. Ohio has
given tbe largest Republican majority in
its history. It is thought tbe ofhcial re
turns will show a plurality of 140,000 to
150,000. Wisconsin bas elected a Re
publican state ticket and nine out- of ten
congressmen, in Illinois the Democrats
are cruabisgly defeated, tbe state going
Republican by from 40,000 to 50,000 1
plurality. Tbe congressional election is
aimoat solidly Republican. Indiana is
Republican by from 20,000 to 25,000
plurality.
Stolid Indifference.
Louisville, Kv., Nov. 8 In today's
Courier-Journal under' the head, "Htve
We a Democratic Party." Mr. Wattcrson
says:
'Never did a great party go to the peo
ple under handicaps as were carried by
tbe Democrats, into tbe campaign just
ended. Tbe hard times were bad enough,
but they might bave been parried. Fac
tion fights among small claimant and
rival place men were bad enough, but
parties bave met and overcome such ob
stacles before now; but witb tbe record
of perfidy and dishonor, as Cleveland
aptly described it, to face and defend in
a band-to-hand fight witb the united
Republicans led by Harrison, McKinley
and Reed, it was disheartening for tbe
Democrats to bave to face also the dull
self-sufficiency and stolid indifference of
an adininiatratiou that made no sign,
uttered no word, and at least in tbe state
of New Yotk, seemed to desire to defeat
the Democratic nominees. Tbe battle
for tariff reform will bave to go down to
tbe foot and take a new start. Tbe
battle over the money issue will soon be
upon us. We shall see if there is De
mocracy enough left of tbe true-blue
stripe to make a greatcoat good against
all weather, or whether we must still
wear a coat of many colors, covering not
a homogenous party inspired by faith
and trust, but a mere bundle of factions
thrown together by tbe upheaval of tbe
timet."

London, Nov. 7 Tbe Timet says:
Although it was generally expected that
tbe Democrats would be beaten, nobody
anticipated a rout ao complete. From
present indications it seems doubtful
whether McKiulevism will be revived.,
bnt witb a large fighting msj irity there
is no guarantee tbat tbe Republican
party will not aim at restoring the1 lie-
Kioley tarifl.
Tbe Daily New says: Tbe Republi
cans bave come into power on the strength
o' discontent felt at tbe disnse ot tbe
Democratic party's opportunities. The
Democrats dallied wito tbeir chances,
and tbe public opinion turned in s tumult
against them. Civilization everywhere
will welcome tbe overthrow of Tammany

The Fost-Mortem.
Berlin, Nov. 7 Io an interview with
a Lokalanmger reporter aboard tbe

said, regarding tbe late czar's illness:
'Tbe post-mortem examination estab
lished tbe accuracv ot our diagnosis,
chronic nephritis, with commencing atro
pby of the left lung. The stomach was
intact. Tbe stories atcribicg tbe czar
illness to poisonintr are absolute fiction.
I do not consider tbat Prolessor Sircnar-
jin is in any way to blame for the result .
The czar was perfectly cognizant of bis
true tate, but he was a fatalist and gave
np too early.. He performed bis duties
as ruler to tbe last moment. He died
like a hero. Tbe czirina is prostrated,

Cattle Prohibition.

thereupon the Prnssiun sanitary officers

quently announced the cattle were af
