The McMlnnvllIe Telephone-Register, which ha been a democrat on principle from the beginning, ha these vigorous words for that other Um of action Adopted for policy. Th Yamhill organ say : Democratic truckling to populist Ideas for populist support ha been the ruination of th democratic party of this itate. The wedge for deser tions was entered when tb aeoUe democratic committee of two years ago sent forth the edict to support the populist electors. The democratic principle, pure and unsullied, will be supported by thousands, but when Situl tf rutixl filth Pfnrwivxrlsiii aiui ii.A . wi7a11 the k I oil red evils of lh people' party, the returns show that demo crat prefer republican meo. Here after the democratic party must keep in the middle of the Mad. It 1 not often that we find any thing to approve about the republi can party, but I he election of Monday demonstrates that the democratic party can take a lesson from them In fighting. Nearly every republican populist voted the straight republican ticket. Every republican stood up and was counted. They voted the ticket straight. Without the support of a righteous cause they planted their feet firmly on the line and fought for the entire republican hog or none. To-day they are successful, although in the minority, To-day the democrats and populists are defeated. The concessions of democracy to populisms has accomplished nothing but dishonor and disaster. The faithless have deserted a great princi ple for uothlng. The party Is better off without them. Now let the true democrats stand together and fiuhi for actual democratic success. Too much management has entered Into democratic affairs, loo many man ager and too few fighters, too much courtesy aud too little grape aud can ister. Siege guns are needed, nut gatllngs that sputter without damage. We have learned a lesson. We have learned that an honest jiosltlouls safe one. Victory cannot be pur chased at the sacrifice, of a principle or any part of it. Let the wound heal, but W-t the scar forever reiuuln upou' democratic memory. Remember the election of 181)4. At tliertssMit mutilcip.d election la Martlusburg, W. Va., tho Republi cans elected their ticket by more I dsn three times the majority that the de mocrats hit I in hist year's election. When the fact Is considered from the Democratic attack on tho tariff, ll 1 not surprising to see that her people are getting ready to place her In the Republican column, where she prop erly belongs. Henator vest would do well to ad vertise that he will no longer be res ponsible for Inferences that may be drawn from his association with Joe Rickey at times when there is a hen on. Governor Altgeld seems to exist nowadays principally for the purpose of making it Im'rossible for the dem ocrats to carry Illinois again during his lifetime, at least.

The State Sunday School A-soda-tlon ha Just Issued a pamphlet set ting out the condition of the Sunday school work tn th state, and Includ ing an account ot the recent conven tion In Salem. The tate association naj ru-iu wo - . a. la t . 1 yearly convention but never before ha there been o much latere. aroused. Mr. William Reynolds, an old-time Sunday school worker, who has become familiar by experience ..Ilk A... B.U.k ,T IK j axa.01 Ann waiu rvrrr vi aaiii j constantly growing branch of church work, nnd who is'now traveling un der the direction of the internationsl association as field superintendent spent several wet k lu the westert part of the slate tit Apiil and May and addressed meetings at Ashland Med ford, OMiits Pass, Ro-teburg Euirene. Brownsville, Philomath, lnilepeuiletuv, 8alem and Portland Mr. Reynolds. Is a wide-awake, ener getlc man, who ss-aks directly t the point, without ambiguity. He bus put new life Into the penpl wherever he has stopped. Many schools are being Improved by the adoption of new methods) of work which have been found of value. The convention brought out a num lsr of these csK-clul!y in the three conferences, of superintendents, In termedlate workers and primary workers. Much conference hail uever Is fore been tried in the state conventions, but'provediagreat sue- is-ss, aud will doubtless become fixture nn'rutum tmiirraiiiH. . The staudard of all ithe addreWs and papers was high. Every dele gate was Impressed with the import ance of using the best possible means aud the best talent to be obtained lu this training of young heart. Mau boy aud girl receive no further ideu of Christianity than what 'they get from an hour a week lu buuda) school. The figures selling out tho state eurolluieut are most Interesting. Last year there were but 413 schools ou record, the total uu tuber being estimated at 4U0 with aiuembershi of 8(3,000. Owing to the persistent efforts of the secretary to compile a j complete roll, he now has ' record 01 two schools, with a membership ot tl7,&47. The corrected figures bring Oregon up from a credit of 10 per cent of populatiou in Sunday schools where there were but twelve oluei states and territories lower, to 21 i per cent, than which there are, but six stales higher. This is fodr pel cent above the average for tin United Hi ales. Multnomah county leads with IKS schools, Laue count- next with 8H and Marlon third nit I. 30. Pledges were made at the eonven tlon lo the amount of over $2M), but, as much more Is needed to accom pllsh the work desired, the second Sunday lu October has been set apart for a srecial offering for state work In all schools not contributing earlier Indications point to an active year in the Sunday school line. Specia attention is being given todUtrlct and township organisations. A number of district rallies will prob ably be held before fall, and the dif ferent districts thoroughly examined for neglected places ; these so far as possible are to be supplied this year, County organisation will be pushed lu the eastern part of the state, and It ia expected that at least thret more counties will be In good, work ing condition before the next state convention, which will be held In Portland In May, I8U3. The latest number of the railway Journal published by the Oermuu government, the "Archlv fuer Elsen- buhnwssen," prints a tabular state ment of the leading features of the railway of tho world at the end of the year 1 :.', which at that time hail a Mai length of 40u,ll9 miles. While the value of the minuteness with which the length is given may be open to itiestion, the rare taken in the collection and compilation of the statistics Is generally considered to warrant the acceptance of these Ger man figures as fairly exact. Of the total length, Amerles Iscrcdlted with Jle,7 miles, and Europe with 1 44, miles. In Asia, Africa and Aus tralia the railway systems are still comparatively Insignificant, for In Africa there are but 7,208 mile-; In Asia, 23,008 miles, of which 17,754 miles are In British India aud 175 In Japan; In Australia, 1 2,6X0 miles. The year showed a decrease In rail way construction compared with the precmling ones, tho figures being as follows: lax'J, 1-1,837 miles; 1890, 18,00 mile-; 191; 11,826 miles; H02, 11139 miles. Among the countries of E irope, Germany take the lead with 27,434 miles, followed by Prance with 23,098 mile. Great Britain and Ireland with 20,300 mile. Rus sia with 10,040 miles, and Astro Hungary with 12,610 mile. !
