During the past two or three vceks wc have interviewed a number of the buBinces men of litis city in regard to to a special illustrated edition of The Scoot, to be issued about January 1st. Every business man whom we have talked to is in favor of the enterprise and will support it liberally, and wo arc now warranted in stating that it will be a go. Wc have engaged the services of Mr. M. Heritage, a first-class sketch artist, who will do the sketching, and the plates will be made in Chicago. It in tho intention of Tiik Bcovr to make thifl edition far Hiiperior to anything ever attempted in Eastern Oregon, and besides a full write up of tho town, it will contain numerous articles con tributed by some of tho best writorH in tho county. The edition will contain from twelve to sixteen pages and from two to three thousand copies, owing to tho liberality with which parties sub scribe for extra numbers. J lint an edition of this kind will bo of great .benefit to tho city and county in gen eral, none will deny, and wo hope to bo able to issue at least 5,000 copies. No better and cheaper means can be employed by which to advertise tho town, and wo hope that all our busi ness men will tako an active interest in tho mutter. This is a purely homo enterprise. Wo have tho facilities for doing tho work and doing it well. It is not our intention to make anything out of it. All wo want is Hiiflicicnt encourage ment and support to know that wo will eomo out oven on the undertak 20,000 majority for the democrats in a vote of much political significance last year. The recent vote at Indian apolis, the home of the president was more democratic than usual, and a sign of the popular drift. There can be no rational republican hope of carrying Indiana in the national elec lion. Then New York, Indiana, New Jersey and Connecticut have sixty seven electoral votes, which, added to 150 from tho south, give 22G out of -ill, or three more than enough to elect. Tho Chicago News, commenting on the election, shows that if all the states which had elections the other day should go the same way next year, am all the states which did not have elec tions should co as they did at the last general elections, the democrats would have a majority of more than forty in the electoral college. This figuring gives all the new statcB of the North west. Indiana and half the vote of Michigan to the republicans. No bet ter method of dividing tho country is at hand at tho present writing, and this may be taken to represent the rel ativo standing of tho two great parties today. OUK 1'1'NSION SYHTKMi ITS MVS TJiKIOUS 1VOKKINGS, NU9IMINO UIV republicans to iivjombly will ropuhlioaus to though in ouo tho u:t Alan The election in tho eastern states has co mo and gone. And from tho latest reports from tho principal states resulted as follows : HubscU'h plurality in Massachusetts is about 7,000, showing that ho ran fully M.000 ahead of his tickot. Tho re publicans havo carried both branches of tho legislaturo. Lieutenant-Governor Halo and tho balance of tho re publican Stale ticket aro elected by amplo pluralities'. Stato Auditor Tro fry, dem., is defeated. In most places ho ran behind Corcoran ou tho dem ocratic ticket. Complete returns from Now York show tho stato honiito will stand 17 15 domoerats. probably stand 05 democrats. easo it will tako ofliuial count to decide. Luto election returns from Iowa make no ulmugo in results as announ ced. Tho democrats assort that thoy havo a clean sweep of stato ofUcorn and tho seuato. Tho republicans havo a safe majority in tho house. Returns ou stato olllcors below tho governor aro beginning to come in. Tho republicans assert they havo elected Babiu for superintendent. Tho latest llgures with nine coun ties estimated, and a few others tin olllcially miulo by tho republican stato executive committee of Ohio, place MoKinly'H plurality at 20,-18(5. Tho republicans now claim from -18 to 50 on joint ballot in tho legislaturo. Comploto figures from overy county, in the stuto of ronsylvania show a plurality of 58,881) for Gregg, republi can, for auditor general, and 5:),7G1 for Morrison, republican, for stato treas urer. Democrats concede Ohio to tho re publicans next year, nlthough thoy havo boon uuablo under most favorable circumstances to reach 20,000 major ity. Tho democrats havo just swept Now York by a good deal moro than double tho republican majority iu Ohio. It would bo absurd to class tho latter us republican next year and not givo Now York to tho democrats. With tho latter in tho democratic col umn, it is easy to figure out u majority of tho electoral voto. It- is evident from tho voting done in Maryland, Virginia and other Southern states that thoy will all bo carried by tho democrats noxt year. Thoy havo 151) electoral votes. Now Jonoy has jtmt indicated that it is more strongly tlomocratio than over. Connecticut in equally ttafo. Indiana gave over The object and aim which were the first causes of tho pension law were noble. Veterans who had rendered to their country actual servieo and who were woundd and maimed beyond tho possibility of (self-support, deserved aid, and the charity of the government nut forth its hand in a eenerous mis sion when it sent timely relief to such of its people as had been reduced to Miilering and want by the war. Hut tho noble motive has been shamefully prostituted. Every day brings iresh proofs of tho corruption to which the law and its workihgs have been re duced. Iu tho greed and thirst for u continuance of its lyrannnical suprem acy, tho powerful party which pre tends so much loyalty to tho Ameri can citizen, and assumes at certain times a sanctimonious air, has bought, through tho agency of tho pension system, a vast hordo of voters, paid their ignoble wages for ignoble services from the money collected from tho nation by unbearable taxation and unjust laws. This may seem to some an unfair statement it may scorn to be fanaticism but by overy report of tho pension bureau, and by nine tonths of tho army of pensioners, is tho statement corroborated. Thoro aro instances occurring daily in different parts of tho United States, in which able-bodied men, hard work ers, and loud iu their praises of physi cal ability, through perjury, and tho false reports of examining physicians, aro obtaining various sums an back pay, and monthly remittances, iu ad dition, for tho balance of life and tho head of tho system is all too loobo in its flagrant rule too ready to buy a voter with the people's monoy, and too ready, iu its forgotfulncsa of honor, to grant aid to tho undeserving. The iioldior whoso vigor and vitality was exhausted in tho hardship and peril of tho war is justly entitled to a pension, and the government in aiding such men does what tho sentiment of every true American citizen urges, but, on tho other hand, thoro aro thou.-and.s who were enlisted and never heard tho drum beat of tho chaigc, tho clang of tho nuiBkotry or tho clarion call to rido down tho ramparts with bayonet, nor tho musio of bullets, and who today aro living fat from tho people's funds and enjoying sturdy health untouched and unscathed by tho foe man's bullet or bomb! Such mon aro perjurers, and such rule is what will undermine ovory principle of tho American government in time. Ev ery true sentiment of tho American heart rises against tho ignoble prac tice. Our people are burdened and oppressed by a crushing weight of taxes, and interests, and tariffs the laud companies aro taking tho homes from families and over it all, like tho shroud of Doom, hangs tho gaunt spcotro of tho l'ast, dishing out with prolligato hand to undeserving reore auts tho substance drawn from tho soil, Hour illegal pensions were ap plied to tho actual expenses of govern ment, tho rato ol tax imposed upon tho nation would bo perceptibly lessened. Encouragement is offered to idle ness and corruption in granting pen sions to unworthy men, and bomo day the nation will demand the cessation of such dishonesty. H breeds jealousy and discontent among American citi zens, and where such falsehood and perjury obtains such amplo reward, is it to bo wondered at that seeds aro planted which in tho course of time may ripen into devolution? It has come to a time in peiibioii giving when every man that knocks is admitted. Voters are needed to sustain the tot tering cause of tho past. Progress and prosperity are compromised and the achievement of energy and indus try is sorrowfully effaced by such fanatical measures as havo marked the history of the decline of the pen sion system. No wonder the farmers' alliance is risen. No wonder the voice of reform has sounded in the distance. There is needed a radical change. The blood has been sprinkled on the lintel, and the angel of Justice is coming. Politics, in the formation of our gov ernment, meant tho science of gov ernment, but now it means intrigue trickery falsehood hypocrisy. It has been reduced from a mighty sci ence down to a corrupt, ignoble dog ma, having nothing of its ancient propensities about it. No wonder the farmer wants illumination. No won der he wants the gloom of the present scattered and looks forward to the bursting of a new radiance. It is time oppression had run its race and a reign of the people began. Loyola Cahdoville. Union, Ohego.v. Thk Kansas City Times says the rebate feature of the tariff was dis cussed somewhat at Ada. To un derstand this rebate it is only necessary to know that last year granulated sugar refined in New York was retailed in Scotland at four cents a pound. Its wholesale price in New York was six and a quarter cents. Solve that fact for it is a fact and you will comprohend tho rebate feature of the tariff. ALICEL AMD VICINITY. Health good. Ed.
