Whenever the actual living is sues of the day present an uncer tain outlook the politicians very frequently try to run a presiden tialcimpaign upon some remi niscence by which the popular feelings can be excited. The in dications at the moment are th3t that is the condition now of the Democratic party, which by rea son of its success in 1882 is con ceded to have the political right of way. The living issues, exclu sive of moriopolj', upon which both parties seem to be agreed, though neither can be said yet to haye formulated a programme for the national treatment of the subject, are two in number, namely, the tarifijjand prohibition. These is sues, says the Bulletin, are ol such a nature that one, the tariff is like ly to injure the Democrats, and the other, prohibition, to seriously reduce the Republican strength. The short course run by the Dem ocrats this year on the question which they are beginning to re gard with dismay is quite signifi cant. They commenced in Iowa, where they have not the ghost of a show, with a flat-footed declara tion in favor of a tariff for reve nue only, which is merely a con vertible phrase for the free trade which is established in England. They have brought up in Ohio with an ambigioUs -platform in tended to evade the issue. The platform is so constructed that both free traders and protectionists can find comfort in it. It may be noted that the people and the politicians view public questions from totally different standpoints. The people look upon part' organizations as the means for the establishment of principles. On the other hand, the politicians look upon princi ples as the means of getting into office. "Whenever things get into the condition that the real issues of the hour are considered danger ous, recourse must be had to remi niscence. There-is no other way by-which-the -people can be di vided. I the present is not to be handled, ihe past must be taken up. BuVthe Defnocracy at pres ent is not rich in reminiscences. Its little bit of military glory the battle of New Oreans has faded out beside the gigantic struggles of the civil war. The only thing it can rake up from the past is the al leged political wrong of 187G. It is thought ,that an appeal more or less effective can be made for the Presidential ticket, which they hold was really elected in that year. A call can be made on the eternal verities for support. The whole story of the 8 to 7 arrange ment can be ripped up with ad vantage. It is true that much of the record relates to the stupidity of that party. But even that may not be out of place in an organiza tion demanding justice at the hands of the American people. The course of the Republicans on prohibition has been somewhat similar. Thev commenced this year in Iowa which seems to be a starting point for both parties, but from causes diametrically op posite with an unequivocal ap proval o prohibition; and they have just como to a full stop in Pennsylvania without any refer ence to the subject at all. In the cirouit from one state to another, as among the Democrats on the tariff, the issue shades off nicely. In Ohio-prohibition takes the form of high license, with a hen on the premises; in Illinois, high license, pure and simple; in Nebraska, high license, graded by popula tion. There can be no doubt of the significance of these two move ments. The Democrats do not wish to fight the Republicans on the tariff the ReDublicans have no Inclination to measure swords with the -Democrats on prohibi tion. They are on the one side or tbeother either taking refuge in unmeaning generalities or drop ping the subject altogether. If Tilden should be renominated bythe Democrats in 1884 the the fight on a like basis. They have an enormojisstock of availa ble reminiscences yet on hand. It is of all characters military and civil. But the military is always the more preferable, for it is not subject to analyses. It is always taken for granted that the great military leader, sword in hand, led his troops to victory. The elec tion of Grant twice signified the final triumph of the government nvnr tlir TinlmlHnn. But there are subordinate events which have i not yet been utilized. There is a large amount of effective work in the "March to the Sea." Sher man's bummers could be brought on the stage to soften the general effects. And V. T. Sherman is a peculiar and somewhat original character. He is an angular but at the same time a strong man. If he were president ho would have things pretty much his own way. His career indi cates that he would not fall so com pletely under the influence of his immediate friends as Grant did. But he has one drawback of which man cnnnlr iii undertones. That drawback is that his wife is a fintlinlip. !hh1 his son a nriest. For a long time in England the ques tion of religion went to the very root of the social structure. A Catholic priest on the throne meant revolution. markable character has just been completed by -Mr. Ernest Morri son, son of Mr. George Morrison of the Geelong Scotch college. He had already achieved some J reputation as a traveler, having a few years acjo, during a holiday vacation, walked overland Horn Queenscliif to Adelaide. On this occasion, however, he undertook, and has successfully completed, the ambitious task of traversing the continent of Australia from the Gulf of Carpentaria to Mel- bourne. i Leaviii"- Xormantown on the week before Christmas, he passed through Cloncarry, followed down Diumantina and the rl homson, and struck the Bulloo atThargomindah nntl the Paroo at Hunaerford. Following: then the Paroo he crossed the Darling at Wilcannia, the Lachlon at Booligal, the Mur rumbidgee ot Hay, and the Mur ray at Echuca. He walked the entire distance alone and unarm ed generally sleeping in the open air. He was caught by the heavv rains above Thorgomindah. and for 359 miles had nearly as much wading through water as walking. The journey of over 2,000 miles occupied just 120 days, his rate ot HII II h If UK Si lilt tlu SI B 'ilbllRlHnilkETikUI. RHEUMATISM, 1 PARK EE HOUSE, A.ASSKLL. Manager. : ASTOKIA, - - - OREGON.

V traveling being greatly impeded So far as researches I by the weight he had to carry. have been made in our history no Melbourne Argus such conditions ever existed in this country. The objection seems to have been inherited, but to what extent has never really been J demonstrated. The most remarkable thing about our politics, however, is the i readiness with which the people seem to fall into whatever lines I the party managers may assign j them. If it should be decided by nimf.rr:if'i to. abandon the real and vital issues of the time and fall back on the reminiscences j of 137G, the war will at once be opened all along the line on Kellogg, the Louisiana Returning Board and the Electoral Commis sion. The return fire is sure to be quite as hot. Nephew Pel ton will be resurrected. Cronin's rubicund nose will again fill a large space in political literature. But of one proposition eastern sentimentalists may bo assured: there is a definite and practical question in the Pacific states, which swallow up all others. The candidate who is not sound on that proposition, no matter wheth er he may be put forward as the exponent of a practical question, nr the incarnation of a reminis cence. will not stand any chance- whatever in this part of the repub- j lie. That proposition is the con- tinned exclusion of the unassimi- lable pagan foreigners from China, and the stopping up of the holes which the small men of the present administration have succeeded in drilling in the act relating to that subject. General Itaum, ex-commission-es of internal revenue, speaking of the effort toward the abolition of the stamp tax, is quoted as hav ing said, a day or two ago, that the revenue to be derived from whisky and beer would probably amount to 8100,000,000, and that the repeal of all other internal revenue tax laws can be made with safety. It is the purpose of cer tain republican members of con gress to introduce, at the nex session, a bill abolishing all inter nal revenue taxes, except those upon malt and spirituous liquors. The presidential party will leave Rawlins on the Union Paci fic the 3d of August. It will con sist of President Arthur, Govern or .Crosby of Montana, Secretary Lincoln, General Sheridan, Chan cellor Rollins of New York-, aud Senator Vest.
