TI1J OREGON STATESMAN ; FRIDAY. . ATJG-TJST. 27,1886. TOriCS ()P THE TIMES. If we miiHt fiht Miocieo, California will supply all the roloimls needed fur a long war. 8. F. Alta.

Tub leading street railroad tnanipulutor in Philadelphia is a Mr. Widener. Ilia business is to give breadth to the views of City Councilmen. It is said that Objector ilolinan, the congressman, hits hanging in bis bed room a richly worked motto which reads: "Economy, she is a daisy." Tub anarchists' trial in Chicago has been running fifty days and has cost a thousand dollars a day. If the wretches are hung it is worth every dollar it costs. The latest gem in the line of coroner's jury verdicts comes from Dakota, where a jury found that "she came to her deatli from a felonioiiH desire to reach a happy hereafter." Whiskey dodges .the It bode Island prohibMon law, by being concealed in egg shells. A man that would drink down there, "would Buck an egg." Tub Chicago Times declares that all this country lucks is elbow room ; it is too crowded by Canada on one side and Mex ico on the other. But what are the elbow room views of Cunada and Mexico? Ok our great men lately dead, none leaves more room on the top rail thun David Davis. 8. F. Alta. That is a fact, for he alwayB could tie found on the top rail of the fence, and usually he was on astraddle. Tin trotting races at the coming state lair promise to be of unusual interest, as the most notable horses of the northwest are entered. Trotting is not Salem's gait, any longer, but we guess we can slow down long enough to look on a while with lively interest, V tlavdhad" enough eloquence of coun sel telegraphed in ihe Chicago anarchists, trials. Now we want an eloquent verdict of guilty, and a sentence that will hold the convicts spellbound. IB. F" Alta. What's the matter with holding them "chain bound," or in ttie penitentiary boundar ies? Bit while we are moving around, watching the work on the new bridge, trying to whoop up the Firemen's tourna ment, saying kind wordri for, and buying tickets to It. Co.'s concert, and doing and thinking other wide-awake things to nu merous to mention, don't let us fail too re member that the Ktatk Fair will hb a success. This going over Niagara in a barrel is really a rivalry lietween the coopers of lluflulo and Philadelphia. They are try ing to see which crowd can do it in ttie frailer coojerage. The contest is getting whore some fellow has got to go over in a barrel hoop only, and then the rival crowd must shoot the rapids in a bung hole only, or quit. Mexico bus found a defender utlast. Ex-Governor Hire, f Massachusetts, whoHe sympathy for oppressed races is so well known, sayn that the Mexicans have done iuHt ritrht in the Cutting case. Pres ident Diaz may now have the gratifica tion of feeling that he stands on a level with Chinamen in Mr. Kice'B estimation -Ex. In the moral village of Philadelphia a reporter wati arrested last week Jor being on the street alter miunignt. lie was locked in a cell, and a police lieutenant threatened to overwhelm him with dis grace by telling his "boss." The reiRirt er's boss did not seem to consider late hours so criminal as they might have been under other circumstances, and produced his release. "Old" Gkokoe Jones, editor of the New York Times, certuinlv merits the irood opinion of all honest iieople, and es pecially of all womankind, when he says, 'One ot the tilings we navo to ue mauK ful for is that good women are not scarce." What a rebuke to a lot of snide journals uublished in the metropolis of Oregon , and to a lot of low mangv curs who read their vileness, and help circulate it. Many domocrutic newspapers embrace the occasion to allege once more that Tilden was legally elected luesident, That is what Cronin of the red nose al ways said, and Cronin was a lawyer. However, the chestnut has been a good deal dumamtd by the corroding hand of time, it will soon disappear from jour nalism. Nebraska htate Journal. Hits, bv the wav. was the lute "our own Cron in" of Oregon. The uk would be a lively exercise of atntMHtnanHhin throughout the civilized world in rearranging taxation if the views of the iirohibitiomats ot the third con eressional district of New Jersey were currier! out. Thev claim that taxing li quor is giving it countenance, and should lie stopped. This tux. is the principal source of public revenue in all tue Cau casian nations. General prohibition would make the total abstinence taxpay ers wear very long faces indeed. New York World. The Somervillc, Massachusetts, woman who is accused of killing eleven relatives who had thoir lives insured for her ben efit, is called by a morning papur "a modern Borgia." hife insurance was not much in vogue in hucretia Borgia's time, but there is no evidence to show that, if it had been she would have sacrificed all her relations to the greed for gam. Lu cretia poisoned only her husbands and others against whom she might naturally have good ground for complaint. The av erage fifteenth century husband was a hard citizen. Ik the compliant of the American sail or from Antwerp be true, then there should be a change in the Consul at that place. He charges that our Consul at Antwerp refuses to sign the papers of sailors who desire to ship, and the conse quence is that many American sailors are driven to make out allidavita that they are of English birth in order to go to sea. The matter needs immediate investigation as the American Consuls abroad cannot a allmvod In ignore the interests of any compatriot, as they are there to look out compatriot, as inc " iortlie interests Ol our eiu.eiB ' much as anything else. Thkrk is now every reason to believe that California's next governor will be a republican, and that the republican party is stronger in that state than for a mim- j n)T of years. Tiie recent special session of the legislature of California, called by Gov. Stone man, resulted in nothing tint the election of a republican I'. S. senator in place of the governor's friend, Hearst, of the 8. F. Examiner. As far as the water question is concerned, it is in exact ly the same position as it was before the convening of the legislature. So nothing has iioen made by the special session, ex cept political capital for the republicans. Thk Cutting case may now be consid ered settled, the London Times having pronounced judgment. It thinks thecon duct of Mexico very fair and moderate, and the position of Secretary Bayard, President Cleveland and the American senate very reasonable, and concludes accordingly that everything will end hap pily. It is pleasant to have all parties in the right and esjiecially pleasant to have them receive a joint benediction from such an authority as the Ixindon Times, but we fear, says tiie 8. F. Post, that this view will not be generally accepted un til somebody solves the old problem of making two trains pass each other on the same track. And by that time the ques tion may have been 'settled in a difierent way. It had been announced with consider able flourish of trumpets that the presi dent, though he failed to sign the surplus resolution, was going to carry out the house and senate declaration by issuing a fifteen million call of bonds. However, a little investigation discloses that the law as it stands required a call of this size and the president cannot take any credit for it. The call has been made accord ing to law, but Cleveland was not to blame for the law. If the house resolution had passed and been signed, $75,000,000 of bonds would been called and paid off within the year and there would have been a small bal ance of I Kinds remaining, redeemable be fore 1891. Tub young men of this city have been endeavoring to secure, and perpetuate the organization of a military company, and their efforts are now meeting with success. The movement is a worthy one and one that well merits the aid and en dorsements all good people, The bene fits of such an organization to the young men. alone, aside from the benefits to the state, are numerous enough, and of suffi cient importance, morally, and socially, to make it worth ttie while oi everyone to take a little interest in the movement. Here the boys will have a club room in connection "with the armory, and tiie members will find that a pleasant place to spend their evenings, instead ol being socially "homeless" on numerous nights of ttie week. The idea that the writer wants the fathers, mothers and sisters to think of in connection with this article, can be found between the lines. AVAILABLE WAR SHU'S. That this government is not altogether asleep on tiie subject of coast defences and the possibility of taking care of itself on the high seas in the event of a foreign war is made evident by the fact that last June Secretary Whitney appointed a board of navy officers to obtain a list of United States merchant steamers suitable for converaion to auxiliary cruisers, trans ports, or for Sfieciul service in time of war. The 8. F. Bulletin of the 14th inst. presents the following interesting and en couraging epitome of tiie matter in issue. The Bulletin says : "It was stipulated that such vessels must lie of 2.000 tons or upward, built of iron or steel, equal to a certain standard of construction and having a speed of not less than fourteen knots. The first re port of the board contains a list of 102 iron steamers of 2,000 tons and upward which are recommended for examination, and gives details of the inspection of one vessel, the Louisiana, of the Cromwell line, which put her in the frontrank, and suierior to many first-class foreign steam ers for the purines of an auxiliary cruis er. She is of 3,000 tons measurement, has a speed of 17,Si knots and ean carry a battery of six-inch rilled guns. The re port is an agreeable surprise in the num ber of ships found of required tonnage and material, and it is believed that the in quiry will develop the possibility of organ izing a "militia navy," which will prove a valuable auxiliary to the regular fleet in case of necessity. Such vessels cannot take the places of heavy ships, built and armed for war purposes, but would be useful as light cruisers, blockaders and commerce destroyers. European nations are taking much pains to secure in their merchant fleets methods of construction which will tit them for conversion to war purposes. With our growing population, manufactures and trade, we shall not al ways be astern in the race for maritime supremacy, and by building our steamers according to certain standards of construc tion we may, in a measure, make our in creasing cummerce its own protector. I'JFEU ITS LAST LAY. The Congressional Record lias ceased publication, but it lias enough back num bers left over, to supply all of that class of literature that will be wanted by the American people during the coming sum mer. This valuable and esteemed ex change went out with colors flying, and did not even sipuik on its last publica tion day. It even went so far as to get out a complete index of all its issues, right up to the ilitte on which it ceased publi cation. But the editor certainly has a very meager idea of what was just to his subscribers, as he allowed his "candle to be doused," without so much as "here we quit," "thanking you for many pant favors," or "owing to the fact that we do not apparently fill the 'long foil waut' during the summer months" or anything and left its patrons looking for its next is sue but in vain. But this journal of the people will "Bloom again in the spring, tra la," and everything will be serene again. Another congress will get together, and another lot of renters will hash up some "slush," and pass it off onto us again, as the "speech of Mr. , a senator from Squeedunk." The only fault we find with our esteemed contemporary's ceasing publication, is that it don't stay (eased. People throughout the Willamette valley and all Oregon have found out that they can got as good photographs in Halum as iu Portland, or anv where else. The work of Pickerill A Cat- terlin, Salem's arttstlo photographers, is at- traetiug the atteution of all who admire flue work. wtf. KRItONfcOirS PHILOSOPHY. A commonplace reflection, which is al ways a great favorite with the lazy, is thus reproduced by the Philadelphia Times, not a lazy journal by any means, but sometimes too quick in its conclu sions : "The saddest part of all Is that no big mm seem to be growing up In either party to take the vacant placet.'' There are just as big men grown up al ready, and growing up, in both the great political parties, and in all parties, as the conntry has ever had to boast of. The republic is not a dead failure be cause in the order of nature the eminent and the great die and are buried. The new men are not the same as the old, because no two men and no twenty men are ever exactly alike. Hut the new men are on the whole just as good as the old, just as strong, just as well informed as to the constitution, just as patriotic, just as faith ful to their political convictions, and just as big. As we have said, there are differ ences, and in one generation individuals attain eminence for one reason, while in another generation the great men will be distinguished for a different greatness. But there is just as much greatness, and, unless we are rushing upon a downward chute of public degradation and destruc tion, just as much virtue and truth says the New York Sun, now as at any former time. Take the list of members of the house of representatives for tnstance ; we can not recall a time when the republicans have had there abler or better statesmen than Reed, McKinley, Hiscock, or Ran ney, or when the democrats counted bet ter, stronger, or purer champions than Carlisle, Randall, Bland, Holman, Mor rison, or Herbert. Or, if we go out among the young men of the country, those just rising into prom inence upon the great arena of public af fairs, those who have not yet attained to places in .congress, we shall find that the republic is quite as well off as ever, and that the race of faithful and capable pub lic servants is in no danger of dying out. This talk about the superiority of the past over the present and the future is not worthy of so experienced a philosopher as ioi. Alexander Kavser Alivlure. THE ANARCHISTS. Commenting on the verdict of the Chi cago jury in the anarchist cases, the New York Herald sums it all up as fol lows : "The verdict which condemns seven of the Chicago auarchists to death August 8pies, Michael Schwab, Samuel Fielden, Alfred K. Parsons, Adolph Fischer, George Kngel and Louis Lingg and the other Oscar W. Nebee to a long term of imprisonment, will be hailed with a gen eral satisfaction not equaled since that which followed the execution of Guiteau. With one exception the miscreants have been found guilty of murder, and are con demned to pay its penalty; but their crime is more dangerous than ordinary murders. They scoffed at law, conspired against organised government, and reck lessly attacked social order. The end of their diabolical teachings was general murder, arson and pillage; they plotted and threatened the wholesale destruction of life and property. What they sought was simply as their name implies an archy, and anarchy of the most appalling kind. They have now been made to feel the grasp of the law which they affected to despise and attempted to trample un der foot. The verdict rendered yester day condemns these criminals to a de served punishment. It will have a more far reaching effect. It will be a timely and wholesome warning to anarchists, not only in Chicago, but in New York, Ban Francisco, New Orleans, or wherever they may be found, that the red flag of anarchy cannot be openly run up with impunity in this country. The verdict is of national importance, and the jury that so promptly and fearlessly rendered it has done a national service."

Sidneys, Stomach and Spleen. This purely vegetable pre- F a ration, now so celebrated as a amity Medicine, originated in the South in 1838. It acts S;ently on the Howela and iidnej and corrects the action of the Liver, and is, there fore, the best preparatory med i vino, whatever the sick ness may prove to be. In all common diseases it will, un- RNHiHteri by any other medi cine, effect a speedy cure. The Kegnlator Is safe to administer in any condition of the system, and under no circutij stanceri can it do harm It will invigorate like a glass of wine, but is no intoxicating bever age to lead to intemperance; will promote di gestion, dissipate headache, and gener ally tone up the system. The dose a small, not unpleasant, and its virtues undoubted. No loss of time, no Inter ruption or stoppage of business while taking the Regulator. Children complaining of Colic, Headache, or Sick Stomach, a teaspoon ful or - more will give relief. If taken occasionally by pa tients exposed to MALARIA, will expel the poison and protect them from attack. A PHYSICIAN'S OPINION. I have been practicing medicine for twenty yean, and have never been a ble to put up a vegetable compound that would, like Simmons Liver Regu lator, promptly and effectively move the Liver to action, and at the same time aid (instead of weak ening) the digestive and assimilative powers of the system.
