'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.

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. I'ltornsMut.
