THE OREGON SCOIST. ! AMOS K. JONKS KDITOU, City and County Official Paper. Friday, Dcccn?bcr 14, 188S Or 'JiniTORIAL NOTES. Dakota people want the Stale di vided and admitted into the Union as two States under different names. The vote of Oregon lias increased 12,000 in four years and it is made Apparent by the recent election that the immigration has been largely re publican. A Nkw Yoitu dispatch pays : "It is rumored that all opposition to tho leaso of the Oregon Itailway fc Naviga tion Company to tho Union Pacific and Northern Pacific jointly is with drawn." Yiuni tho latest information re ceived the House will be republican by about five majority. We aro glad that this is to. Let the republicans j have all the blaino or praise for tho noxt four years. We imagine that ! with the length of rope that has been given them they will bo found four years hence with their vertebra's dis located, and will have no one to blame for it but themselves. Tim Wnllotvn Signal, published at Enterprise, was sold last week by Jdr. .loll' Owenby to E. S. Ivanhoo, who will chango its political complexion and continue its publication, The now proprietor promises many im provements soon. Mr. Owenby is a versatile writer and has, apparently, succeeded in placing tho Signal on a paying basiH. We aro sorry to see him step out of the journalistic field. Ah usual, says tho Corvallis Times, tho Portland members aro working "teeth and too nail" to have every thing their own way at tho noxt ses sion of tho legislature. They want president of tho senate, speaker and a majority on all the important commit tees, and they will get them, too, unless tho representatives from tho "cow counties" look after their own interests. Jf Portland is to continu ally control tho legislature it is useless for us to olect representatives. Wk devote considerable of our spaco this week to the publication of por tions of President Cleveland's message to congress. Wo do this because wo think that no matter could bo selected more beneficial to our readers. It should bo dispassionately read and se riously studied by every citizen. It oxprcfBos tho mature thoughts of a profound political scholar, a pure patriot, and-a conscientious, just and goneroiiH ruler. Tho time will coino when this message, and tho man who wrote it, will ho fully appreciated by tho toilers of tho republic. Rkv. Ikwin, cditorof the J'cpublican, is opposed to competitive examina tions as a necessary requisite for gov ormontal positions in tho civil service. Urothor Irwin is easting a longing eye on an ofiice and is already puckering his lips to encircle a government teat, hut a possiblo examination as to his competency is a constant shadow darkening tho horizon of his aspira tions. There aro small hopes for a man who writes about tho "personate of the candidate being lost sight of" and tho "pemmule that would bo a good executive of tho mechanical qualities." Phi:siii:.st Ci.kvi:i.ani'h administra tion, tho Mills bill, and the principles enunciated in tho democratic platform havo been indorsed by a great majority of tho people of the United States, but, notwithstanding this, tho minor ity by tlpj regulations of tho electoral college assume complete control of the government and will dictate its policy as they choose for tho next four years. Tho general idea that the majority rules in this country is not correct. Such will not ho tho case until our method of electing a president under goes u comploto change, It will ho woll "for tho republican party to re member that it is in power, not by tho consent of a majority of the people, but because of their acquiesouco in an established, although udjust, election law, and whilo remembering this, en dcavor to not run counter too reckless ly with tho popular will. Whilo elec toral colleges and other causes may servo, ut times, to thwart tho popular purpose, tho jwiwor to withdraw those obstructions lieu with the instrumen tality that created them tho jieoplo, nnd the person or party that pays proper resieet to this power in acting wisely.

Editor Scout: Tho following is clipped from Eugono City Guard of Dee. 1st: the The markets of tho world have been derided and sneered at for months by the party which the people of this country has returned to power. Now there will bo a lino opportunity for j ,lmt l)ar'v lo demonstrate how tho in nainiants oi a county mav all grow neli together by simply exchanging commodities among themselves. 11.. ! - . jv enlarging on ;no aoove irom a county to the nation, tho problem may be tolved this way : Yearly in crease in wealth from our mines and internal resources without tho aid of exports, $SO,000,000. Contra: Loss es by fire, $130,000,000; by accidents, etc., .f:i7, 000,000; by income for Car negie at $22 per minute, $11,5(5.1,200; by income for Gould at 10 per minute, $22,021,000; by income for Yandei bilt at i70 per minute, $20,280,000. Now we yearly export about $500,000, 000 of farm products which accounts entirely for tho largo increase in our national wealth. Other commodities are also exported, but these against what wo import makes an ofi'tct. Now Should foreign countries levy a tarifi' on our farm products, how could wo continuo to prosper? In a very few years Carnegie, Gould and Vanderbilt would own tho entire United States. At leabt that is tho way lit looks to yours truly.
