KDITOHIATj NOTES.
Thk convention nt Olyinpiu lmvo
adopted n. prohibition article, which
will bo voted upon separately by the
people. It will ho a sheer waste of
time in taking such a vote.
Thk Vindicator, published at East
Portland, is authority for the state
ment that n democratic daily, a dupli
cate of the Ran Francisco Examiner, is
soon to ho started in Portland, with
Postmaster Pohy aB editor.
Thk Pendleton Tribune, republican,
actually makes this much of a confess
ion : There seems to bo an impress
ion among republican leaders that
while Commissioner Black went to one
cxtremo in the matter of pensions,
Tanner is liable to overdo the matter
in tho opposito direction.
E. JJ. McEi.uov, superintendent of
tho state instruction, estimates the
population of Oregon at .r)00,000.
Tills indicates a most remarkable
growth within tho past two years, hut
is only nil indicaiion of the vast in
crease that will be found
the next decade.
nt the end of
Tin: .1 unction City Pilot thinks wo
arc considerably off in favoring Gov.
Pcnnoycr as a candidate for rc-clcctioij
next June, hut it docs not give any
reason why it thinks bo. Wo did not
know that tho people of Oregon had
changed their opinion regarding Gov.
Ponnoycr, which heretofore has been
extremely favorable.
How do tho "Blaine Irishmen"
relish tho spectacle of llussell Harri
son dining with Queen Victoria, hob
nobbing with the Pnnco of Wales and
"toadying to royalty" in general?
Tho "spirited foreign policy" for which
they voted consists in largo part
in
"twisting tho British lion's
What do thoy think of "Prince
sell" as a tail twister? Ex.
Ilus-
JoAcmiN MiM.i:it, tho poot, is travel
ing through Oregon writing up tho
country and its resources for an east
ern papor. Joaquin is a groat poot
and can touch tho poetical lyro with a
masters' hand, but when ho comes to
writing of cattle, horses and pigs,
and dealing in dry statistical
figures, ho is out of his element and
may bo pronounced a failure.
Tin: Salem .Statesman, one of the
most rabid republican papers in tho
stato, says:
It is a reported thoro are twonty-ono
applicants for tho position of receiver
of tho Jlosoburg land olllce. This pell
moll rush for office has developed into
hopoless insanity. It's a disgusting
sipiabblo.
All of which is too had, to bo sure,
and a stato of affairs ovidontly not an
ticipated by tho Statesman.
"Til kiii: is not," said (Jov. Biggs, of
Dclowaro, tho other day, "in tho state
of Delewaru to-day a single penitent i-I
airy. If a man beats his wifo, or sots
fire to a neighbor's barn, or breaks
into a house, ho isn't shut up with a
Jot of other criminals, with full time
juul opportunity to learn all their
tricks of deviltry that ho did not know
before. As u preventative of crime tho
whipping post has a much greater ter
ror than a term in tho penitentiary,
and 1 have never known of a man that
eamo back for a second 1om. lie
simply leaves the stato. laybo he
goes to .Now York; 1 don't know. At
any rate ho seeks another homo, and
you may rest assured that if ho stays
in Delaware he leads a very quiet life.
To ho sure it is a relic of harbatism,
but it is our way."
BTyfWIR'JUCTB
A hami'i.h nr imhithction."
Tho Ko.sohurg Hoviow sayn: "It is
estimated that 12,000,000 J grain bagB
will be used in harvesting thia year's
crop in Oregon,"
Prom this tho fanners should learn
an important lesson. Tho material
out of which sacks are made is all im
ported, none being grown in this coun
try. Tho duty on raw material is 25
per cent., and on the sucks 10 per cent.
This adds at least 2 cents to tho price
of ovory sack which tho farmer buys
or uses. This uiiuomm a needless tax
of? 10,000 a year on tho fanners of
this stato on that one necessary article
alone. Parmer, what do you think
of this? This sum would meet tho or
dinary current o.xponsos of tho shito
for n whole year. And all is done in
tho niuno of "protection." Well thoro
may ho "protection" in it for some
btfdy, hut there is none for tho farmer,
and wo can only pity the farmer who
blindly votes to sustain thin unjust
policy. Albany Dempornt.

It may appear to the people through
out tho county inasmuch as the sub-f-ibsidy
for the extension of the O. &
W. T. railroad to this city bus been
raited, that tho consummation of tho
business is being unnecessarily de
layed. This, however, is not the case,
and we think when the people of the
county hear Mr. Hunt's explanation ,
of the matter, (which they will in a
very few days) his reatons will be en- J
tircly satisfactory.
As to whether the road will bo ex-
tended from Walla Walla or Athena
we can only conjecture It will doubt
less depend on Walla Walla county
being allowed to bond itself. Al
though the county subsidy section was
defeated in tho W. T. constitutional
convention, fricndB arc at work, and it
clause in the shape of an amendment
will be pushed forward that will allow
four counties, viz : Walla Walla, Co
lumbia, Yakima and Klickitat to bond
the county for certain named aubsi
dies; Walla Walla county for $200,000
for the Hunt railroad, ft is boliovc(
that this amendment will carry, as tho
objection to section 7 was that
would privilege any county to bond
itself for any purpose, and because
the majority of the counties were not
in favor of subsidies.
Mr. Hunt will bo in Union county.
probably not later than tho middle of
next week, for the purpose of definite
ly settling the business of tho Union
countv extension. J Jo will iihk an ex
tension of tho tiino set for the comple
lion of tho road equal to the time ho
has extended to us for raising the sub
sidy, which will ho about four months.
We presume there will be no objec
tions to this by any of tho subscribers
In fact it will bo altogether better for
all concerned to extend the time
Payment of tho nubsidios will be de
laved just that much and as tho rail
road buildeiH will bo longer in tho val
ley, much more money will bo left
among us than would ho if the work
was hurried.
THK "WItONO Ari'I.lOANTS.
Tho Portland Oregonian, always
speaking for tho corporal ions when
their rights or interests clash with
those of tho people, denounces the
schenio to allow Walla Walla county
to issuo bonds in aid of the Hunt rail
road, and remarks that "the days of
subsidies to rajlroads are past." Since
there is no longor any public domain
to give; since tho great corporations
have obtained all they asked for or
can hope for; wo are gravely told,
when tho pcoplo inorely ask for tho
privilege of burdening themselves a
little only four per cout of their as
sessable property, and sanctioned by a
two-thirds vole that it is (oo late.
If a great corporation had asked the
privilege, we suspect it would have
been quite in fcoason, and a host of
precedents would have been advanced
in support of the proposition; but
when the farmers and business men
and people generally ask the same
privilege it is a very bad, dangerous
and altogether unioasoimblo thing.
In othor words, constitutions, like
many laws, are to be nuulo for corpo
rations, not for the people.
Too late! Yes; or too soon, for the
peoplo to expect favors which have
been bestowed without question or
stint at their expeuso on corporations.
Stick to your plow and your taxes,
yo presumptuous farmcro of Eastern
Washington; what right have you to
be asking privileges? -E. O.

A newspaper dinpateh says: "Tho
strike in the Conuellsville coke region
has assumed largo proportions Of
tho 11,000 operatives, more than 12,
000 have quit work. The managers of

Let's sun; wo believe this adminis
tration was put in power chiefly so
that there would ho food wages for
working-moil and good times all
around. But then, those 1.1,000 crea
