Multnomah polled the biggest ma jority against, and the biggest adverse percentage; Josephine's percentage against was 75 and Clatsop and Jack son each 70. Linn gave the biggest majority for tho amendment and Crook the biggest percentage. Outside of the counties of Multno mah, Jackson, Clatsop, Marion and Wasco, in which are the cities of Port land, Astoria, East Portland, Sa lem, Jacksonville and Tho Dalles, the voto was just even. Tho voto on tho proposed salary amendment was beaten out of sight, but 5,993 being cast for it, to 29,635 against Tho voto on tho change of eleotion from June to November, which was tho least objectionable of the three, was beaten by a narrow majority, 19, 917 for it, and 22,760 against it A littlo advocacy on the part of the news papers of tho state would have carried it easily, but it was almost lost sight of in the overshadowing presenco of the question of the first of the three constitutional amendments proposed. TnE existence of a large treasury surplus has bred a vastdeal of demor alization in the country, but tho sad dest consequence of all has been the rise and growth of the idea that patri otism, aside from wounds or disability, must bo compensated by money. The self-respecting soldier does not admit that the service he gave his country, the exposure of his life and tho sacri fice of perhaps his best years in tho great historic struggle, can or ought to be compensated in dollars and cents. But tho self-respecting soldier is seldom or never heard from in the pension combat He attends to his own business and leaves all the talking to the demagogues. The latter have made two great dis dis eoveries: First, that there is a sur plus in the treasury which congress is reluctant to diminish by a reduction of taxes, and second, that congress men are afraid of the "soldier vote." These two factors are the most dan gerous elements in the political situa tion to-day. They point to an-eraof unmeasured spoliation of the treasu ryand worse than that, a debasement of the grandest chapter of our nation al history into an indiscriminate rush tor money. Me. Atkinson has estimated that 4180,000,000 have ben lowed on western farm mortgages and that the number of outstanding mortgages is 81,000. His returns from a great many quarters show that tho rate of interest has declined from 10 per centto63 and 7 per cent, and that the present condition of tho farmers indicates widespread and almost universal pros perity. MekejltoiiIS is becoming a very important manufacturing center in tho northwest Among tho industries are boots and shoes, clothing, paper, glass, brick, loathor and all kinds of planing-mill work. Tho reason is that power is cheap, and the sur rounding country is being built up very rapidly. The flour and lumber industries foot up 840,000,000 per year. i -- mm i" It is reported that ex-governor Kirkwood, of Iowa, voted for the Dem ocratic candidate for governor at the late election, and that a large number of Bepublicans followed his examplo. THK C. & O. COMPLETION. How Portland Looks at the Besult. California and more especially San Francisco DroDi:e to celebrate t!i com- oletion of the rail line so Ions huprd lor. Portland and Oregon i asked to join hands in this celebration and of course they will comply with the re quest but there is a noticeable lack of enthusiasm, except among a few Mnall fry speakers and lovers of cc lebrations generally. The rail line beiuj; built purely as a matter of business, will no doubt be operated so as to pay dividends, although the present owners have a reputation for liberal treatment and for building up sections of country they in vade. This manner of oierating is against early per cent,, but tells in the long run. Of course wc shall celebrate, but we have had that last spike driven so oiten that it is getting to be an old story. We will ive the Californians some kind of a reception, :hnv them how we get along in the rainy season and what splendid crops are grown. Everything done should be In the way of ousiness, for it is business the Calt fornians are after. They expect to in vade some of Portland's territory and they will make every effort tocaptuie the southern Oregon trade. That they will get some of It theie is no question, for they will take surplus products in exchange. Tride will go where it can do best and it is believed our merrhanta are alive to the situation and in need of no considerable amount of advice. San Francisco gloried in the completion of the Northern Pacific in 1883, but the immediate benefits were all but noth ing. We then celebrated hugely for three days and extravagantly. As an eastern connection ihe C. & O.cuts only an indirect figure and will probably be used more as a club than otherwise. It will have a large passenger business the year round and good local ireights. With its territory populated to an ex tent that is possible and branch roads built, the company would havo a wealth of business. Conld the river channel between Portland to the mouth of the C lumbia be deepened so that vessels could load here to '21 feet Portland and the whole of Oregon and almost all of Washington could affoid to pay for a celebration lasting a full month. Brass bands and receptions arc well enough in their way, but cheap freights go to make better markets lor wheat. Ore go ni an l. If You Want lour Flue Cleaned. Leave orders for T.
