Henry Mcldrnm, o: Oregon City, as appointed surveyor-general of Oregon on Saturday by 1'resident McKinlcy, The appointment was made on recorn mendation of Senator Mitchell, The proposal to stock any of our trout streams with bass, pickerel and other eastern fUh should be strenuously op' poeed. Where this has been tried it has meant the practical extinction of trout and salmon. For both edible and gamy qualities, salmon ami trout hn m superiors and few equals in the piscatorial world and a stieam we stocked with them has variety enough Salmon and trout are of the aristocracy of lisliis and our uportmnen should sre that no groteHiue looking foreigners are brought here to hamper their exigence in the waters of this stale. Tne Cubans are now on the point of organizing their own government Many doubt the ability of Oils people to govern themselves with any degree of credit and whether or not they hnve this ability li a matter which will coon be deinnuslraled. The United Bliites, in accordance with prouri s n ale, can lint do lent lliau allow them to try. There is a large party in Cuba favoring annexation to the United States ami this parly comprina the more cultured portion of the people. Tlio United States will exurcixe a guardianship over the, new republic and they will be de nied the felicity of governing themselves in accordance with the accpted method ol Spanish American countries, which calls for a revolution at least hieumnllv. Our climatic advantages are eti pbasized from time to time by the re ports of grotesque climatic conditions in other placet. The following dispatch from ilayiinis, Neb., under date of April 27, it ill own commentary l or the last three, duyi the sand hills of this section ol the stale have been a seething sea of fire. About noun Thursday, lightning set fire to the range in several places. The. ranchmen have been tin nbls thus far to -check the flames. A district of about 100 miles in length and from 10 to 40 miles in wldlh has been totally swept of hay and the dry prairie grass that for a month to come would have served as tiie only food for cattle. It is impossible to estimate the damage that has been dune. Many ranchmen have no feed lelt for their cattle, and it It thought that a hoavy loss of stock will he the consequence. Next Monday is the date of our misl important muncipal event, the aim ml city election. In the present conies', the I meruit is centered exchmivuly in the election of mayor. No other issue il evident. Uuder the present cl.arler t lie mayor Is given more power than before and the Inlluonco he is ablo to exercised in city governmental all'airs il Increased. The olllco Is one of greater importance and responsibility than ever belore. Hpokuu in plain words, the IjMiei of the election are these; Kinney and aiiti Klnuey, and so the factious are divided. The principles that Mr. Kinney stands on are good government and compliance with the law soil hi record during the past year of his in cumbency as mayor has proven him a linn supporter of his principles. No one, not even a saloon man, has a right I) oppose the enforcement of (lie law and il such procedure hurts him it is Ids owu fault, for being In a wrong position. While Mr. Kinney hat de cided opinions of his own and is linn in Ids policy, he lias shown himself to be ftlr minded in coinddeiation id all (jiienlion. His lirinni'9 In administra tion has won li i in both npkiHiiion and support, but no one can deny Unit this quality is veiy necessary in a mayor. He is a strong, able and vigorous man and one w ho believes ill clean principles and good government. His ellorls as mayor have been in this direction and I s should b continued in olllce. If ft?

A Communlcsled Opinion Regard to the Ponding Election, in The issue of this election is not polil -cal. His not whether or no we shall favor the water company or the scte, age system, but resolves Itself ineruly into this: Who shall hold the reins of citv government for the next twelve months? Last year our good citizens worked nobly, with the result that 1 1n y won the mayor by a good majority much to the surprise of the other side. This year the fight will hn a harder one not only because the now charier grants more power lo the niavor but becauw the whinky men are determined to win. They have, been planning this ( lection lor mouths. The intoxication and hilarity on (the night of the ward and cily pilmaries was evidence enough that the treat was on, anil slangeriug men and boyt upon our streets every evening all go to show, alas, that election is near. The law breakers, for what else ran yon call those who do not keep the law, have put up the hi Ht iiiiin they could find who would favor their interests, hut citizens and voters you can see thai Ihe man who it everybody's friend is a friend of Ihe law breaker too, and becomes In their hands as wax to be molded as they please, The mayor can do little himself but villi four goi.d councilman which you have the power SPRING CLOTHING.
