Gov. llUHSKix will bo tho iirst dem ocrat who hits ever succeeded himself in the old Bay state. Surely times are changing and so is the political com plexion of Massachusetts. Tiik republicans havo always claimed Ohio as a sure state, yet, to judge from tho rejoicing over tho election of McKinloy, ono would sup poso that it had always been democratic. Tiik Republican, of Union, Oregon, gays : "Wo pride ourselves on publish ing ono of tho best papers in Oregon." This reminds us of the fellow wife said "mo and God," when wo compare tho Republican with tho leading dailies of tho state. Ileppnor Record. A ton of oro was rccontly stolen out of a car in transit to a Tuoblo, Colo., Hmcltcr. As tho oro assayed $18,000 per ton it was no small haul, but the trouble now is for tho thioves to disposo of thoir stolon proporty, as all tho smelt ers havo been notified and tho oro described. The Now York legislature is demo cratic. Tho Benato stands 10 democrats to 1G republicans, which will givo Liou tonant Governor Shoohan, ox-ofllcio president of that body, tho casting vote. Tho domocrats elected G5 mem bers of tho assembly and tho ropubli cans 03. Flowor's plurality is 45,157 Glory enough for ono election ! Tiik last legislature passed a law re quiring that in nil cases whero any will ie admitted to probate in tho slato of Oregon, in addition to having tho same recorded in tho county where it was admitted to nrobato. tho executor or administrator is to havo such will recorded in every county in tho stato in which tho testator loft any real "r,tiproperty. . With tho now light on national poli tics afforded by tho Into eloction re turns it is im possible for tho democratic members of tho congress elected lust year to beo what thoy must do to carry out tho will of tho pooplo and to assume democnttu success in tho presidential election. Tho country demands of them tho utmost possible economy in appropriations, and, with this, action for tho roform of tho taritr-and of tho currency. Tho issue of tariil' reform takos precedunco of all others, and thero can bo no doubt that tho elec tion noxt year will depend ehiolly on tho vigor of tho attack mado in tho democratiu house on tho MolCiuluy bill. lv tiik keen, shrewd and common tensa American purohused a suit of clothes, tho price of which was $10, and an oftycor of tho government should stop him as ho was leaving the store and demand from hint f 0, ho would knock tho ofliccr down and call a patrol wagon and bundle him off to the station. But so long us tho gov ernment official is a thousand miles away and collects his 96 by proxy, tho keen, shrewd, coumon-sonso Amer ican pays $16 for tho clothes and walks out satisfied that ho worked a pretty close bargain. In some things tho keen, shrewd, commonsonso American ie tho biggest and most successful fool on tho faoo of this green earth. Chi cago Globe. Tiik absence of tho American flag In foreign ports has long been a mattor of comment. Any discussion of tho causo of and the remedies for this hu miliating state of things, must attract -wide attention. Chus. II. Crump, tho president of tho great rhiludolphiu company that is building so many of our warships, treats tho matter in tho Novombor Forum, nud, after an histor ical review of tho subject, comes to tho conclusion that tho dill'orcnt attitudes of tho British Government nnd our own toward ship builders is largely ro soiibiblo for tho state of our merchant murine.

No sooner had the announcement appeared, iu our issuo of last week that Tiik Scout would issue an illus tratcd New Year's edition, and that wo had received encouragement from the business men of the town, than tho thought struck the proprietors of tho Republican that they must try and defeat it. and issue a liko edition themselves. Legitimate opposition is right and proper in most all things, but in thi instuncc it is not, and will work to the detriment of the town. Tho business men of the town will not support both papers to tho extent of a cut of their places of business, hence noither paper will bo able to givo a correct reflex of the town. If tho proprietors of the Republican had conceived the idea, and made their announcement first, they would have met with no opposition from The Scout, as well we know that it would bo useless for two papers in a town liko this to attempt such an enterprise at the same time. Thk Scout has the promise of tho support of a majority of the business men of the town, also a cut of severn of tho most important business housos and residences. Based upon this wo mado our announcement, intending tho latter part of this weok to place tho business in proper shape for pros editing the work, and to interview and solicit aid from every business man in tho city. As stated last week, wo have mado preparations and will continuo tho work, and we hope to bo ablo to pre sent to our readers a cut of every important business house in the city, and will show no partiality to anyone in the way of public notice or charges for doing tho work. THE NEW YOItK I.KG1SLATUKK. Tho olucial count in JNcw lone is reported to givo tho domocrats two ma jority in tho lower and ono in tho upper branch of the legislature. It is prob ably meant that tho senate is a tie, and the democratic lieutenant gover nor will havo the casting vote, as tho body consists of thirty-two members, and thero is no way of dividing to givo ono majority. Tho control of tho leg islature is not of very groat conse quence to either party. Tho faot that nearly 50,000 majority in the popular vote is necessary to givo baro control in tho legislative body is evidence that there is somothini: unfair. The appor tionment is tho trouble. Tho present one was made on tho state census of 1875. The population has grown sinco then nearly 1,300,000, chiefly in tho democratic districts. Tho law requires a reapportionment every ton years, but the republicans havo defeated it for livo successive years on account of tho udvautugo for them in tho old one. hast winter tho democrats in tho assembly passed a bill conceded to bo just, but tho republican senate dofjated it. Sovontcon republican as sembly districts, as shown by the I'or tor census, havo a population of 530,-lOS, whilo seventeen democratic disricts possebs a population of 1,161,528. Tho senate presents a similar disparity. It is this that enables the republicans usually to hold tho legislature whon thore is a largo popular majority against thorn, and why thoy defeat all attempts at reapportionment. Tho ro publicunb will contest two or three Beats in the sonato, us it is of vital im portance to have control of ono branch. If tho democrats can secure an equita ble apportionment thoy will, no doubt, bo ablo to gain the other United States onator two years henco. St. Tuul Globe. FROM SPARTA. SrABTA, XoTomber 16, 1891.

At last, it seems, hope of railroad communication with tho famous Seven Devils coppor mines is about to bo re alized. The Helena, Mon., Indepen dent of issue of November 5th says : The American Mining Company (limited) of Montana has just closed a contract with Thomas W. Bales, of Payette, Idaho, to build a standard guage road from a point on tho Oregon Short Lino to tho Blue Jacket mine in the Savon Devils district in Washing ton county, Idaho. Under the terms of tho contract construction work is to commence on or before May 1st, 1892. Fifty miles uro to. be completed on or before January, 1893, and the remain der is to bo built before January, 1894. The raining company agrees in consid eration of tho construction of tho road to ship all ores, matte or copper from any mines in which it holds an inter est. These properties arc tho Bluo Jacket, Bluo Jacket No. 2, Legal Ten dor, Copper Crescent, Norma, Calmut, Coppor Queen, White Monument, Pea cock and Helena. Tho company also agrees to begin the work of taking out oro for shipment as soon as tho first fifty miles of the road aro completed. The contract between Bates and the company is mado for a period of five years. Bates on his part agrees to fur nish all transportation facilities for hauling oro at the rate of $5 per ton from the Blue Jacket mine to the junction on tho Oregon Short Line. Tho .American Mining company is a Montana organization controlled by Helena men. Albert Kleinshmidt is thu president of the company. Does Not Apply to Cities. Thero is no doubt that tho election law passed by the last Oregon legisla ture, known as the Australian ballot law, does not apply to city elections. In view of the pending election in ABtoria tho city attorney, by request of the council, submitted an opinion which contained letters from Joseph Simon, W.'H. Adams, ox-city attorney of Portland, and Ed. Bingham, tho author of tho bill. All are agreed that the law does not apply to municipal oloctions. Mr. Bingham says : "When we drafted tho bill its application to cities was fully discussed and it was decided not to try in the general act to regulate city elections, but to leave that to bo accomplished by amend ments to each city charter. Thero are u great mauy small townB incorporated us cities in Oregon and if wo had at tempted to go 89 far in our Australian business wo might havo defeated the whole thing altogether." Mr. Bing ham intimates that tho framers of tho bill desired it to apply to Portland but the bosses, Lotan and Simon, would not have it, and un attempt to havo tho Portland city charter amended so us to make it apply was dofeated. It appears plain therefore that it dopeuds altogether upon tho charter of a city whether tho law applies or not. Chronicle.
