-Representative John "Whiteaker
will represent the democracy of
the entire Pacific coast in the
house. As California does not
olect representatives until fall she
is now without a delegation n that
body, and Nevada's representative
is a vrepublican. There is consid
erable excitement in "Washington
occasioned by the contest for
speakership. So far as we are
able to form an opinion it seems
that Randall is in the lead, and it is
claimed will have a majority of
the caucus. Blackburn of Ken
tucky, is liis strongest opponent,
and has a fair backing. It Js
probable that the western demo
crats will principally vote for
Blackburn,' and with a solid vote
from the south he would be sure
of the caucus. There is no certain
ty however, that southern .mem
bers will act in court. Randall is
said to be a Tilden man, and
should he receive the nomination
'tt may be considered. a large sized
straw to indicate the course the
presidential wind is blowing. "The
democrats have a majority of five
votes over republicans and green
backers combined, and there is no
doubt of an election of the demo
crat nominee. Leading papers on
both sides are eagerly canvassing
'tlie prospective action of the now
victorious party, and while the
organs of the new majority outline
a certain policy, republican papers
boldly assert that the cohesive
.ipower of the democratic panty is
not sufficient to prevent a disas
trous wreck when they come to
grappel with grave national ques
tions. It is true that such men
"as Blaine and Conkling are watch
ing with lynx-like eyes every
movement of their ancient enemy,
and the dominant party have abun
dant neeil for extraordinary cau
'won, yet in Thurman, Hill and
Bayard the democrats have states
men whom the- feel assured will
ponder woll over every step they
vtake, and before making a move
be sure they are right. In the
house greenbackers, under the
.Readership of De La Mater of'
V ,. ... J
umaua, aic ..clinging- .ciose ZQ-.
gether, determined to make a
stand when the proper time for
action arrives, but the democracy
having a clear majority of six ren
ders any coalition between the re
publicans and greenbackers futile.
T-he financial question seems to be
the overshadowing theme that will
be presented, and the hardandsoft
money fight will probably be
again re-enacted.
Senator Mitchell
North Eatt (MiL) Record.
Among the senators who retire from
that body on the 4th of March, there
is no one whose absence will he felt
more sensibly than that of Hon. J. H.
Mitchell, of Oregon. Shi Pennsylva
nia, his native state, in Oregon, whose
growing interests he h:is so ably and
faithfnfiy represented, as well as in all
portions of the country, his course
has been marked with peculiar inter
est. Just in the prime of life, with
ail the vigor, and compass of rare nat
ural endowments, trained hy culture
and experience, he has devoted him
self to his high position with the energy J
fidelity and power that marked the
statesmen of the olden time. He has
made for himself a record in the sen
ate alike honorable to himself and the
nation. It cannot he fliat a discrim
inating people will permit one so use
ful to retire permanently. The nation
cannot afford to dispenso with the
services of a representative like him.
His ability, his eloquence, his indus
try, his fidelity and his patriotism be
long not only to Oregon, but to the
people of the whole country, and these
qualities in these latter days are much
neeScd in the councils of the nation.
Whatever his individual preference
may be, wo hope ere long to see him
return to public life.
A carp-o of cotton uoods re
recently shipped In England to
Shanghai, on arrival was found to
be so -damaged as to be entirely
worthless, and suit was brought by
the shippers to recover damages
from the manufaturer. An analysis
of the cotton gave the following
result:
Per cent of weight
Cotton fibre 41T.72
Natural moisture 8.00
Moisture in excess 2.19
Starchy matters 18.1H
Chloride of magnesium 2.29
Chloride of zino 2.09
China clay .... . 205
100.00
If this is a fair specimen of En
glish cotton fabrics manufactured
for die Chinese market, it will not
be difficult for Americans to com
pete wiCk the British for thc'Oriental
trade, cven with the Chinese prob
lem agitating this country.
ft quartet of fellows who have
been the source of great anncance
to some people in upper Astoria last
year have met with a somewhat check
er life. One was convicted of attempted
rape in British 'Columbia, and senten
ced to a term of live years in prison
at hard labor; another was sentenced
to theOregon penitentiary from As-
! toria at the last term of the circuit
court, for two years; the third one i3
under'bonds to keep the jieace, and
the fourth one lately attempted to
commit suicide.
"A maiden lady" complains in the
New New York Graphic about the in
decent exposure of women's under
wear in shop windows. Wo would
like to sliake hands with this mod
est old maid. There sa a bond of
sympathy between us, n sort of moral
affinity, as it were, says the San Jose
Herald. Nothing affects us so much,
as to pass one of these windows full of
fearful combinations of linen and tat
ting and embroidery and wire and all
that sort of thing. These mysteries
that enter into the construction of the
modem woman should noibe divulged
in this reckless manner, 'to bring em
barrassment and confusion upon us.
We have often been placed in awakard
predicament by innocently inquiring
the names and uses of some of these
things, and-with the maiden lady we
demand that our innocence be pro-;
tected.
