KDITOKIAI. NOTKS.
How do our republican friends ac
count for the fact that wherever the
Australian ballot system has been put
into effect and a fair vole taken, great
democratic gains have been the result?
Mr. G. W. Hunt, president of th- O.
it W. T. Railroad, will meet our pi opl
to-day for the purpose of taking into
consideration tlio matter of LxU udi;itf
The Northern racific is building a
lino through Canada to directly com
pete with tho Canadian Pacific.
"Wherever there ia n demand for a rail
road tho Northern Pacific seems ready
to build it.
Tin: postmaster-general has desig
nated "Wash." as tho abbreviation of
Washington. It doesn't sound quite
as esthetic as could bo wished by the
average native, but still if Mr. Wanna
maker insists on Washing them they
will have to put up with it.
Last Friday was tho day fixed by
tho Seventh-Day Advcntists for tho
end of tho world and a universal shak
ing tip of things. There seems, how
ever, to have been tome kind of a
jntcli in tho business and the enter
tainment has been postponed.
Thk La Grande papers have put in
circulation tho statement that their
post-ollico handles mail for 1(5,000 peo
ple. About one-sixteenth of this is tho
truth, tho remainder pure falsehood.
That, however, is about the relative
proportion of truth and wind that has
been blown, at intervals, during the
past six months, from tho "kcy-liole."
Tho Ilarrisburc Patriot says: The'
"Aim man workingmcn" in the Con
ii" tkttt manufacturing towns have
given their opinion of the tariff tax by
tho road to this city. It is a matter of voting the straight "free trade demo- '
vital importance to tho future welfare cratic ticket," as it was called by the '
and prosperity of our town and county republican monopolists. That such j
and should have tho undivided atttn- "an unlooked-for action" on the part
tion of ovcry citizen. On account of of our protected?) workingmcn should
the delay in bringing tho business to a sit heavily on tho stomachs of the tar-.
final settlement, Mr. Hunt will ask for : iff champions is not strange for with I
an extension of time in which to com- I all their cunning they appear to have
plclo tho road, and in consideration of i forgotten tlmt this is an age in which
such time being granted him, will j even a workingman can read, study

commence building the road, at this i and reflect. To close observers it has
end of the line, early next spring, forsomc lime been patent that in the
which will be a great benefit to our opinion of wage-workers the protective
farmers and business men throughout j tariff, so-railed, is but a high-rounding
tho valley who will bo called upon to i name for the meanest kind of a swin
furnish him with the supplies neeossa- j die. They know it is for them but a
ry for Ins men. While the completion i wage-absorber, a trust builder, a cun
of the road will be delayed one season ' ningly devised and well executed
it will also delay tho payment of the j sehoino for plundering the many for
subsidy an equal length of time, which j the benefit of tho few. They know it
has not "rilled tho dinner pail" as was
predicted ; they know that tho defeat
of Grovor Cleveland has closed facto
ries and lowered wages; they know
that the smirking scoundrel who gave
them the tarifi'-pny-onvolopcs has not
spokon to them since tho November

Ouif friend Prof. F. K. Ilafford, of
Milton, advertises for three sacks of
cats, and offers a liberal pristo therefor.
Ho desires them ''to make chemical
experiments with, in the interests of
science and instruction of his pupils
in chemistry." If tho Prof, will come
over to Union ho will find a buffering
people who aro anxious to advance
tho interests of science on tho lines
marked out by him and ho will bo
furnished with forty or fifty sacks of
cats free of charge. Tho more ex
haustive and far-reaching his research
es aio the better it will please us.
A Now York dispatch says: "Tho
Brooklyn Tabernacle, Dr. Talmago's
church, was destroyed by tiro last
week. Tho loss is estimated at $1.10,
000, covered by insurance." This will
do a surprise to many as it was gen
orally behoved that Tahnago and tho
Deity were on uuoli intimate terms
that u dilliculty of this kind was not
likely to occur between them ; und wo
still incline to tho belief, inasmuch as
the building was insured, that tho con-
ilagration was meant moro as a re
ninuier to tlio wiokcu insurance com
pany than aB u snub to Drothor Tal
mage.
Wi: aro in receipt of a letter from li.
G. Kibbler, written from New York,
enclosing a nowspapor article by 1 I'',
Ellinwood, secretary of tho Hoard of
Foroign Missions, wherein ho roplius to
and refutes tho published statements
niado by Lieut. Woods, that tho for
eign missions wore useless and doing
no good. Mr. Klliinvood's argument
and tho testimony ho furnishes from
various sources M'om to ho conclusive
that tho missions aro doing good work.
Wo cannot comply with tho request to
publish tho article, as it would take
about tliroo columns of Tun Srarr to
do so, and our spaco is limited. Wo
cm only express regret at our inabili
ty, at this time, to accomodate an old
friend and subscriber.
Thk Astoria Pioneer says:
"Secretary Ulainu favors a tariff re
duction or revision and hopes to mjo
tho next congress take it up and maku
such changes as seem necessary. Wo
aro pleased to note this disposition,
Thotariirin many particulars hhould
bo revised. Many of tho luxuries,
which in no wise coino in competition
with American products, aro ridicu
lously low."
Tho natural deduction to bo made
from tho above is: If tlio many arti
cles above alluded to wero not luxu
ries and did como in competition with
American products, thoy would not bo
"ridiculously low." Tho Pioneer man's
idoas of the tariff question seem to bo
extremely limited, and it is needless to
Bay ho is a republican and evidently
relies greatly on that colossal humbug,
Jim lllaine. If a protective tariff is
needed on anything (which It is not)
it would certainly bo on articles of
necessity in tho manufacture of which
our American laborers have to com
pete. A "revision" of tho tariff Is
much to bo hoped for, but tlio people
do not look to Jim Hlaiiio or the re
publican parly to do it.
will ccrtninly make it better for us in
view of tho particularly dry season we
have just experienced. We will not
be called upon to make the final pay
ment on tho subsidy for three years.
In tlio meantime wo may confidently
expect a series of wot and prosperous
seasons, and with the added impetus
that the building of the railroad will
give us, wo will have plenty with
which to pay tho subsidy. In fact we
will hardly feel such a demand on our
resources.
NcVcr, porhaps, in the annals of rail
road building',' was a fairer proposition
offered to a peoplo nor one which offers
such unparalleled benefits. Consider
it for a moment: Wo are not asked
to pay one cent till tho road is built
and in complete running oider, and
then a payment of only one-half the
amount is required. After the . first
paymont a year's time, from that date,
is given for the payment of the other
half Avhich draws interest at ten per
cent, during tho year. Tlio road binds
itself to transport our produce to tide
water on Pugct .Sound at tho same
rate that competing lines take it to
Portland. That means an increased
prico to tho farmer of from four to ton
cents on ovcry bushel of wheat he
raises, and an an increaso in tho same
ratio on every other kind of produce.
This increase alono would agregato to
tho producers of Union county an
enormous sum each year. Again, tho
railroad property that would be
brought into this county, by tho timo
tho last payment of tho subsidy is
made, will have rofunded to the coun
ty, in taxes, almost tho amount givou
by tlio people. To make it still easier
for tlio subscribers, wheat will bo tak
en in payment of tho subsidy at fifty
cents per bushel, or at the market
price if it is moro than that.
It now remains for tho people of
Union county to decide whether thoy
will havo this road, and reap Iho bene
fits that will bo derived from it, or not.
Thoy havo already decided that it is
necessary to their welfare and made
up tho subsidy required to secure it.
Now to make tho thing . curtain and
finally adjust tho viholo business it
will bo necessary for oauh'and every
ono to como forward and sign bis iiamo
to a paper granting to Mr. Hunt (lie
extension of time nuked for. Will any
man refuse to do this? We think not.
Uy no process of reasoning; or array
ing of tho facts in tho ease could ho
justify himself in doing so. No man
who has an interest in tlio welfare of
tho county can afford to sit down and
let things take their own course. One
of two conditions awaila us. To se
cure this now road moans release from
tho exactions and tribute laid upon us
by the 0. IL & N. Co. It means
sharp railroad competition, reduced
rates on exports and imports, and a
free open outlet to all tho markets of
tho world, It means an inllux of im
migration and capital, increased value
of property, decreased taxation, a
thriving, united county and a proper
nus people. On tho oilier hand, to
settle back into tho old ruta and con
clude that wo don't need this road
menus continued bondage to an un
scrupulous monopoly and more tribute
to tho money lords. It mean the re
moval of tho county seat to a remote
corner of tho county, by the votes of
hired repeaters, trumps and loafers.
It means tho loss of tho southern por
tion of tho county containing our most
fertile valleys and rioliott mines. It
means the building; of a hundred
thousand dollar court house, burden
some taxation, local dissontious,
hatred and mUrulo.
Such are tho results tlmt must fol
low, as wo iiot,'ono way or the other.
Wo are called upon to deride. Which
shall it bo?
election ; thoy know that all who favor
a tariff for monopoly vote the same
party ticket, whatever their professed
politics, and are on the lookout for the
flesh pots of Egypt and not for tho
benefit of workingmcn.
Having been intimidated at tho
polls; threatened with discharge by
their tarifl'-fed employers if they dared
to vote as thoy thought right, they
have until now acted with their ene
mies; but, thanks to a secret ballot,
all slavery to the political striker and
tlio impoiious factory lord has been
abolished, with this result that tho
manufacturing centers of old Con
necticut, always strongly republican,
have gone democratic.
This is a very good beginning ; but
it is nothing to the political awaken
ing which shall shako Pennsylvania
when the Australian ballot system will
havo become a law in this state.
Keep the reform ball rolling.
Thk Hummcrville Annotator for tho
past few wcelc8 has had nothing to say
concerning tlio Hunt road, and has
not even announced tho appointments
made by Mr. Hunt to meet the people
of Suminervflle and Elgin. If the An
notator ever had a chance to work for
tho benefit of its constituents and itself,
it is at .this time. Why it should fail
to take advantage of its opportunities
is a conundrum.
