"i SOMDEMAXDS OF TMCUOCR Tl second administration of Trcti dent Cleveland li become hlmorWl for iu vacillating policy and Inability to comprehend tbe buniiwi lsu of Jay. In no single instance has the ad ministration made the most o! a Jtreat opportunity, and when the president has a.loptcd a firm policy he has usually esj)OUwd the wrong side. President Cleveland seems utterly incapable of comprehending the drift of public ppinion, or if comprvliending cares nothing for the expressed will of the people. And now at the opening of the short session of congress the democracy is once more face to face with grave problems of national moment. The currency question is again knock- ... . i n.. at t),. it.ir i if concress for ihk iuuui) a solution. The peoule have spoken in tones tlnt echo around the globe and a remedy thev must anil will have. Im- me .lute relief from the present strain uix)i tho national treasury is iuipera- itve, a larger and more elastic circula ing medium is needed, or continued - paralysis of business will ensue. There should be no hesitation on the part of 'congress for the country demand a radical solution of the problem, and at ti.u u-K.ia limn a correct notation. If the democratic lirty possesses leader ship and statesmanship, if it ever ex - pects to regain the confidence of the people, it will at once inaugurate bold, .... i anil inili'Dccdeiit course. It Will bepjine affirmative and cease to be negative; H will adopt "I can" for the ringing niotto of its policy, and drop iu to eternal disuetude the weak and cow rdly shibboleth, "I can't." If the pres ent congress has not the courage to en force the convictions of the democratic party, as expressed in state and nation al platforms, there is little hope for democratic success in 18. What the country demands is honest legislation in the interests of the people, and not leg islation solely in the interests of au ar rogant, aristocratic class. The pampered few have. been made drunk with the . wine of class legislation while the toil jng millions have been content to feed pn the crumbs that fell from Dives' fabUs. A great financial panic, hitherto . miequalcd in the history of this country, has aroused the people to a partial realization of the true con dition of affairs, and it was the fortune, or rather the misfortune of the demo cratic party to have control of the ad ministrative policy of the government At this critical period . Its leaders faced pie great emergency in a spirit of com promise and vacillation. They had no well defined policy, no drastic measures to propose, no radical remedy to apply. There was no Jackson to guide the ship . of state safely throng the financial storm. The president convened an ex- ira session of congress and the Sherman act was repealed, which, we were told, W'as the Jonah that was driving the country into the seething breakers of fi nancml ruin, buosequent events have proven that the remedy was a greater evil than the disease. The eo-calied Wilson tariff bill was a compromise, a . go-between ; it was not what the people demanded . The Democratic party is today con fronted with three great issues: The fi nancial problem, the Nicaragua canal and the enforcement of cloture rules in the house and senate. Tlie people de mand that congress legislate promptly - and decisively upon these questions. If Jhe demx-rals fail to improve their op portunity, the fifty-fourth congress, ; which will be republican, will force the jomie jn the direction that the people demand. M-cinbly .

A patient and long suiTering public will heartily acquiesce with tho climax of Bro. Wash's assertion. . Laziness is the bane of the average editorial sanctum. The majority of editors have stated hours for work, when the price of suc cess is incessant and unremitting toil of both hand and brain. No business re quires closer application, shrewder management, harder work and more patient, earnest, intelligent thought than the journalistic profession. The person who engages to publish a news paper enters upon no "Elysian field" of labor. If it is -a soft job" that he is looking for he will be unuer uie neces sity of turning his attention to some thing else. Thk Dallas Observer eays "The first issue of the Normal Outlook, published at Monmouth, is on our table, and it is without doubt the weakest publication we have ever been called upon tore- cord ." It is difficult to understand why our neighborly contemiiorarT should make this gratuitous and unprovoked thrust at the Normal school journal. The public understands that the Out look is under the supervision of the State Normal school faculty, that its edito rials and contributed articles are of a high order, which in point of literary style w ill compare favorably with any school journal published in the state. The editor of the Observer unwittingly makes a mistake in throwing mud at an educational journal of the exceptionally high character of the Normal Outlook.

The wishes of the people, hweyer, will not be reflected by their represtntatiyes in the legisla ture. Oh. no; not at all!

The Tillamook Headlight says: When the Oregonian refers to a paper as an "ob scure country publication," an "insig nificant sheet," "'a paper not worth mentioning," the "venal press," or a "rural journal," it always refers to the Headlight. We mention this so that people will know what paper the Orego nian refers to bo often. Is our contemporary over in the land of the razor clam and the fettlve crab trying to work up a little side boom in its own behalf? The Salom Committee of One Hun dred have voted or "resolved" or said j, he re shall be "no change of text-books." And the noble"One Hundred"are about right, for any material change in school books would be burdensome upon the people. Incompetent, misleading or worthless books, however, should be eliminated from our public schools, (Itemizer.) Our tillers of the soil are nearly all moving toward aiverjineu. farming. I J. M.

The people and the press of the state at large have expressed them selves as opposed to much present .tinnon in nllblic school le.Xt books. If those who have the power to decide the matter are governed by what the people think and wish, there will be but few changes at present.

The Dallas woolen mill case, which has been in court for more than a year, was argued last Friday and taken under advisement by Judge Hewitt. It was generally commented on by everbody that Sheriff Plummer and his deputies performed their work in Biimmnninff witnesses and run ning their part ot tbe court at ine December term in a manner never excelled in Polk county.
