Senator Wilson Bhould receive every encouragement from the people in the effort he is making to procure the abrogation of the immense forestry reserves created by ex-President Cleveland. The Pacific coast is the principal suf ferer from this iniquitous measure, because more of its territory is em braced within the areas of the re serves than that of any other commonwealth. A glance at the outline map prepared and pub lished by the Tacoma Ledger gives a more definite idea of the evil than can be gathered from mere statements of the extent of these reserves, showing as it does the skeletons of large counties left open to settlement and development, after the government has removed from the open public domain the lands with which it proposes to experimentally hold in their primeval condition. The special edition of the Pend leton Tribune is before us. As to matter and substance, it fully covers Umatilla county and East ern Oregon. The articles descrip tive of the wonderful resources of Umatilla county and the Inland Empire are complete, and accurate in a statistical sense. ' While the typographical appearance of the edition would have been better had it been published from the home office instead of in Portland, the reading matter it contains, and the valuable information it gives, more than makes up for the typographical faults, and no ono can afford to bo without a copy. Athena is given a conspicuous place in the pages of the edition, and the article from the versatile pen of Attorney J. B. Huntington, reflect credit on the gentleman as a writer. While it is not to be supposed that Great Britain is going to offer to spend of its Bubstance in helping the United States in fighting its war there is no doubt that Great Britain more and more appreciates the fact as the years roll by that it is well for it to be on good terms with the United States, and that it can place more dependence upon the friendship of the latter than upon the friendship of any other nation, But just bo long as Eng land is the center of the money power this country will look upon its overtures with suspicion. In other words, England ia not Eng land at all. It is controlled, owned and operated by the great octopus which seeks empire over all tho world. To talk of an alliance with such a power is worse than treason. With butchers and packers scouring the country for live stock to meet current demands and pay ing remarkably good figures, and with large shipments coming in from California and elsewhere, the foolishness of selling off cattle and hogs to the low prioe reached is becoming apparent. Whether profitable or not to put grain at present prices into live stock, thore is coming a time when it certainly will pay again, and when the ex pense and loss incident to restock ing Oregon's depleted ranges and hog supply is counted the lack of wisdom and good judgment Ubed will be very apparent. England isn't the only nation that would be glad to make an alliance with the United States, but we have never had any occasion to make an alliance with a foreign nation, and we can conceive of nothing that would justify our doing so. It is to be observed in reading the earthquake accounts of the San Francisco papers that the Spreck eld buildiug shakes much more in the Examiner than it does in the Call a phenomenon which may not be altogether inexplicable. Ac cording to the Call the tall build ing swayed bo little that a party of gentlemen of the San Francisco Club, who were playing billiards, never stopped, while by the ac counts in the other paper the bill iard balls engaged in a mad game of tag, chasing one another around the table and rattling like a dice box. Ex. The passing away of Sir Henry Bessemer has recalled the history of his great invention and its ef fect upon industries of the world. The production of steel in Great Britain increased many fold and there was a great reduction in the cost of manufacture. In cheapen ing steel the Bessemer invention has cheapened steel rails, engines, locomotives, bridges and all the factors of transportation. It has also created a new influence in civilization, and inaugurated changes of importance that have added greatly to the comforts and luxuries of life. Foreign dispatches state that the leferendum vote in Switzerland has resulted in popular approval of the proposed state purchase of the railroads of Switzerland at a cost of about a billion francs ($200, 000,000). The vote was 384,146 in favor to 177,130 against. The bill thus indorsed was paesed by the National Council by a vote of 98 to 29. According to recent official returns there are 2304 mile3 of railroad open for traflic in Switz erland on the five different lines. The government is projecting a loan for the purchase. Editor W. C. Brann, of the Waco, Tex., Iconoclast, has paid the penalty for the vitriollic style of journalism which made him famous. It is only a question of time when somebody will call the turn on a man who 'converts his pen into a double edged knife and loses the governor off his balance wheel. A mobbing for Brann and tho sad Gerald Harris tragedy in November failed to tone down the style of tho Iconoclast, and last Friday, in a street duel, he was killed by Capt. M. T. Davies, who was in turn fatally injured, while stray bullets hit three bystanders. Mr. T. T. Geer carried the pri maries in Marion county. The question now is, will he carry tho convention at Portland? And then if he carries the convention will he carry the state?' That's where the shoe pinches. J. W. Maloney, candidate for county recorder on the union ticket, will make a thorough can vass of the county during the cam paign. "Jim" will make friends wherever he goos. He merits them and their votes, too. The recent deadly fire in Chi cago, when two elevator men kept the elevators carrying living freight to safety while the flames crackled all about, is another illustration of the bravery that ia bo ingrained in American humanity that it only needs the occasion - to be mani fested. The Spanish editors who are de manding war with tho United States would bo employing their time more usefully in trying to alleviate the condition of the bread rioters in Spanish towns." Oregon has lost an able man in the death of State Senator Samuel II. Hughes, of Forest Grove. He was a thorough business man, and waj a progressive thorough-going citizon. An English exchange observes: "Lord Salisbury lugged the conser vatives into a contest which re sulted in defeat." Salisbury should check such baggage. r.ixnnral Wevler ia ouotcd as deuying that he had any mine in Havana harbor. But the people will believe the report of the tor pedo in this case. The Harney county republicans endorsed W. H. Ellis for congress. Harney county is a sort of an out-of-the-way place anyhow. Tho Siamese make coins out of porcelain.
