The Ban Francisco Examiner, and after it the Portland Telegram and the whole tango of Democratic papers on this Coast have all struck a new theory to exercise their gray matter upon. It Is the Idea that now the Republicans have such an overwhelming majority in the house they should, as the Telegram points out, "throw aside all ;nrty bins, and act with the Democrats on all possible occa sions." What is the use of urging that the Republicans, after having come Into power by tho fric choice of the people, shall not be Republicans? Is there any more than the contemptible indecency of partisanship In claiming, as these Jour nals do, that the Republicans ought to im mediately divest themselves cf all the rrlnclples and convictions which secured their election? Republicans have won because they were Republicans, and not because they were Democrats. Tlioy have the confidence of the business world because Ihcy have Republican convictions and principles, not because they are ex pected to Imitate Democrat In any par ticular. They have magnificent majori ties of the people behind them because the people believe In them, The unfortunate fact that a discredited president cannot bo. moved out of his place until March. Ih absolutely the only thing thnt gives him any excuse for saying what he thinks In an annual mes sage. Tho country docs not much care what lie thinks; It only wants to get rid of him. Perhaps some of Cleveland's ad herents and admirer imnglne that the vote of 1SD5 In states like New York, New Jersey, Maryland Bnd Kentucky mny at some future time be reversed. It is their privilege to think so. There are more Republicans In this country as the votes demonstrate beyond question thnn there have been at any previous election more than there were until the Democrats were tried and that Is thetrouble. The men who are worshiping Clcvclnnd might as well worship a brass Hindoo Idol. He Is a back number. The people have tried him and his party and their votes show plainly what they think about him and his capacity, and the condition of the country under Democratic rule. It is enough to say that they are not worship ing In that direction. It Is open to any man who pleases to make out of himself a Cleveland ldolator Instead of an Ameri can citizen, but he may as well under stand that he will havo nothing under the sun to. do with the government of this country In years to come. Republicans have been empowered by the people to reverse, as far as they can and as soon as they can, the amazing Muplditles of Clcvelandlsm. Their critics may take It for granted Unit they will not shirk the task, nor prove unequal to It. It Is not going to be the Republican pol icy to get as close to Clcvelandlsm and Democracy as possible, and the Demo cratic newspapers which are urging that line of thought upon Republicans and Re publican congressmen from Paclfla coast states are considerably behind the age. The ono thing certain Is that no Repub lican congressmen, It matters not from what part of Hie Union they come, are going to try to be Democrats "as far as they can" after getting elected as Ripub 1 loans. The report" that the Apuche Is iigaln upon the warpath awakens renewed re gret that that extreme aboriginal nu's anro has not long since gone Into In nocuous desuetude like the North Alitor! can bison and the Irish elk and the cave leur of Ilrlttany. He has bjen on the warpath periodically since the day of Ferdinand de 8oto, and bids fair to break cut in acts of slaughter and destruction as long as he maintains an Individual or tribal existence. There Is no remedy ex cept to put him down and make a new treaty with him, which ho will break next year, as uunl, tho missionaries, phllunthioplots, Indian agents nnd army tffleers having In the Intervul exhausted their efforts upon him In vain. The leop ard docs not chungo Its spots, nor the Ethiopian his skin, nor the Apache IiIh treacherous and murderous nature, no matter what discipline Is administered to him. He will have to be studied in his Tttleoslo remains ln-fore he can ho studied with anything approaching patience. Mr. M. J. Kinney, In his special report on Monday night to the Chamber of Com merce on the matter of surveys and charts for the mouth of the Yukon liver, showed not only a practical knowledge of the question, but also a careful study of the matters at Issue. His excellent Ideas, covering, a they do, in a brief manner, almost every argument In favor of speedy government action, have been unanimous ly adopted by the chamber and forwarded to all the members of congress. Whether congress will much longer ignore the Im portant and almost vital questions that ore bound up In the proposition lo thor- j otichly rwiirvt-y and open for traffic the delta of the Yukon river, Is purely a mat ter of sneoulntlon. Rut no steps rhould Im left timrnd tV pftmmwwlnl CTi this Coast, or this representatives of the j J'liolilp stales In Washington, to bring I about this much-needed legislation. Few p. r.plo realize the enormous possibilities of Alaska on tho business that will be opened up'bctween that Northern terri tory and every Pacific coast port during the next few years. A great many still lcok on Alaska as a land of Icebergs, glaciers and seals. They consider It a pretty good sort j)f a country for Esqui maux. The truth Is that, away from the Immediate vicinity of the ocean, there are thousands of miles of country habitable, capable of productiveness, and teeming with mineral wealth of all kind. A great river like the Yukon, running as It does into the heart of the new land, will, when properly opened for traffic, afford a mag nificent waterway for the carriage of a dozen commercial commodities, and will more than treble the present possibilities of traffic with the country farther south. The Astoria Chamber of Commerce, In Initiating this movement, deserves the thanks of every citizen, and Jts action should be followed by the co-operation of every Board of Trade In Oregon, Wash ington and California. Mr. Kinney's re port reflects the greatest credit on his conscientious study of the question.' . m The Tacoma News couples with high praise of Mr. Cleveland's latest message this evasion of facts: "The Republican congress may and probably will evade the problem set be fore it. But to evade it Is merely to postpone the day of action, and it Is now not unlikely that before the next election one or both parties will be compelled to take a definite stand on the question of n vision of limine-;.'." This Is stuffed with error. There Is not a Republican congress. There Is a Re publican house. The mojorlty of the sen ate consists of the several varieties of Democrats, and the cranks who are most familiarly and perfectly designated as Pops. It Is well known there is not a Republican majority In the senate. It was the Democratic party that at the latest date that any party held the sen ate, had that responsibility; and they have ever since been complaining that four senators blocked the way of reform by Inrlstlng upon more revenue than could be gathered by the operation of the Wilson bill. That shameful bill was drawn to force the income tax upon the people, the South making the complaint of paying too much for pensions, and wanting the incomes of the capitalistic states cut Into to provide an equilibrium; and Mr. Cleveland was In this game. There Is no doubt about what the Repub licans mean to do when they have the power. They will hnve more protection and reciprocity nnd revenue out of tho customs duties. There is no evasion In that. The only evasion Is In the presi dent's proposal of Impossibilities. The Chinese tore up the first railroad from Peking to Tien-Tsln a quarter of a century ago, and are now going to lay down another, this time to stay. A new light has dawned on them, not of un or star or meteor or comet, but raying out of the bull's eye of the locomotive, and they correctly recognize In It 'the pillar of tire which is to guide them out of the night of their bondage and Isolation. As soon as they get used to the scream ot Uiat vehicle and welcome Its advent among them, as they are sure to do In no long time, they will find that they have embarked upon a new national career, and outside people will find that It is not so easy a nuitur to whip them as for merly. The completion of the new Tlcn- Tsin railroad ought to be marked with a golden letter In the Chinese calendar, and no pigtail In the empire should ever dream of disturbing a spike or a fishplate or an Interlocking switch belonging to It. It Is at a time like (his, when the senate committees have Just been made public, that Oregon feels the loss of Senator Dolph, and can realize what a fatal mis take tho legislature made In turning him down. The commerce committee, one of the most important on tho list, would tu.ve had Senator Dolph f or Its chairman, an advantage that for Oregon would have been Incalculable. Senator Frye Is now chairman, and our representative on the committee, Mr, McRrlde, Is a new and physically weak man. Senator Mitchell Is honored with tho chairmanship of the "committee on privileges nnd elections," a position with as much weight to It as an appointment to tho proprietorship of a peanut stand. Altogether Oregon will miss Senator Dolph, his Influence, his tal ent and his conscientious and honorable battling for her Interests. i XJ The statement recently published by the bureau of railways of the Fronch govern ment shows the railroad mlleago In each country In Europe at tho close of last year ami tho Increase during tho twelve months. The total wns l"2,2i9 miles, and the gain 4,212 miles, or ubout 2.S per cent. The greatest Increase was in Russia, Where 1,218 miles were added In 1SP4, most ly on Its trani-Slberlnn line. It may be observed that 18114 was the first one ot many year In which the railroad build ing In the United States did not much exceed the aggregate of construction in all other countries ofthe world, while for the last year the difference wa a wldo ono in the other direction. our dispatches this morning announcing the wording of the president's message to congress on the Venexuclnn boundary dis pute contain very welcome news. Cleve land's position Is the position ot every true American, and his reply to Lord Salisbury will find a rosponslve echo with everybody who loves firmness nnd na tional dignity. For once the prwMent Is to be heartily congratulated. A valued contemporary refers to the Cripple Creek mining stock craze as a "gamble, pure and simple." It may be a gamble, but It is hardly a pure one, and It Is the victims that are simple. It must be admitted that for a man who Is filibustering against the Inevitable the sultan has managed to mnke a prolonged affair of hi bluff. In response to Lord Salisbury's uppr cut Cleveland has made what might be termed a dlplomatlo La Blanche swing. The U. S. Gov't Reports show Royal Unking Powder superior to mil others.

For the third time slnct die bcuan to make her trips In 1W3 the Cunard steam ship Lucanla came In here on Friday without having Mrs. Carson on board, and It was an event In the history of the steamer. It did not seem like the same vessel with this strange boarder absent. Any one In search of a good boi.rdlng house might get some points from Mrs. Carson address the North Atlantic ocean. Mrs. . Carson has her home on the sea, and only goes ashore for" business or pleasure. Her present floatnig home Is the Cunard steamer Lucanla, and she Is greatly attached to it. For Just how many years Mrs. Carson has been making her home on the North Atlantic nobody seems to know cxnct'y, but she wes golrg bark and forward be tween New York and Liverpool for pome time before the Lucanla set forth for the first time. When the big Cunarder was launched Mrs. Carson Inspected her nnd concluded to tako bonrd on her. She selected n roomy cabin, . -ml, setting up her lares and penates therr !n. settled down com fortably to enjoy her new home. The Lucanla Is now on her twenty sixth round trip; that Is. she has crossed the ocean 61 times. Only twice before the present trip has Mrs. Carson been absent from the steamer when she "plunged the ocean blue." Therefore she has crossed the ocean 41 times n Hie Lucanla, For two years the ship has been her floating home. A HOUSEHOLD TREASURE. D. W. Fuller, of CanaJoHiirle, N.
