Daily Democrat
Mr, Blaine may not hare much influence
with this administration, but hit 'fellows'
seem to get there all the same.
The only sound basis for a party to rest upon
is the respect of the pesple, and this is forfeited
nhen it sells its offices and honors for money.
President Harrison, Secretaries Maine and
Tracy and Attornty-General Miller do not
shave at all. Secretary Proctor Jshavesonly the
upper lip. Secretaries Noble and Rusk shave
the sides of the face. Secretary Windom wears
side whiskers and Postmaster-General Wana
ntaker takes a clean shave all around.
The official guillotine isgctting in good work
in' order and Democratic heads are beginning
. to drop. President I Iarrison may have some
excellent opinions on civil-service reform, but
with Blaine, Clarkson, Klkins & Co. in posses
sion of the handle the machine will be kept
busy.
In his whole term President Cleveland
did not remove a single postmaster In Ore
gon holding a presidential office, but every
republican postmaster was allowed to serve
his term out. In less than one month Har
rison removed the postmaster at Oregon
City. "Snivel" service.
The president has removed the post
master at Oregon City because he is a
democrat and appointed John M. Bacon be
cause he is a republican.

SPECIALTIES.
To deny or to abandon the principles of a
party because it is defeated by a scratch, though
in an actual majority in theconntry,is poltroon
ery in politics. To attempt to regain power
by false pretencrs or by going over to the
enemy's camp is dishonest as well as cowardly.
The Government of Japan desires to in
crease their navy by building four cr five
first. class ships every year, in order to be
prepared for any possible emergency .Japan
already possesses a navy of thirty-five ships
and S,orx officers and men. A commission
of engineers are at present in America in
specting our newest war ships, with a view
of building similar vessels in Japan.

An opinion decidedly adverse to the
tneorv ot making members ot Congress
office blotters for their states is cited from
Mr. Blaine's "Twenty Yearsin Congress.'
In that work the present Secretary of state
declares that "ne reform in the Civil Service
will be valuable which does not release
members of Congress from the care and
embarrassment of appointments." That
Congressmen do not, for the must part.de
sire to be relieved from this "care and em
barrassment" does not detract from the
truth of this observation.
Queen Victoria has grown very petulant
of late and her manner begins to show that
she is getting pretty well on in years.
Though every prevision had been made
for her comfort at Biarritz she was pleased
with nothing and has refused to remain
there. She complained that the house was
too cold at night and too warm during the
day ; that the beds were uncomfortable ;
that the service was not satisfactory and
that she would go to Spain for relief from
the discomforts of the villa at Biai ritz.
The Oregon Blade speaking of the Board
locating the Reform school says : "There
are several cities In Eastern Oregon who
might jui.tly claim that this institution
ought to be located in their respective vi
cinity ; but out of deference to people of
Salem, who are dependent upon the ex
penditure in their midst of state appropria
tions necessary to support state establish
ments, our Eastern Oregon cities will not
contend for a change in the location of state
institutions."
Andre.v Carnegie has written a letter to
the Manufaclurtrs' JtecorJ, of Baltimore,
giving his views upon the iron Interests of
the South, based upon his observations
during a recent visit. He says the furnaces
and machinery now employed in the iron
business in the South are ot the latest pat
tern. The quality of thecoal,re and lime
stone is of the best. Under these favora
ble conditions Mr Carnegie says the high
est grade o! foundry pig car, be made in
Alabama for $10 per ton, and at some of
the bestlocated furnaceseven cheaper. In
view of these facts, he regards the South as
certain to become Pennsylvania's most
formidable industrial competitor in the fu
ture. This is In accord with our prediction
of mere than three years ago. Coining
from a person so thoroughly identified with
the iron and steel interests of Pennsylvania
Mr Carnegie, It certainly cannot be re
garded as the prediction of an enemy.
The Democrat is badly In need of an
editor who can write up the interests of the
town in a manner acceptable alike to the
frisky, lively, progressive citizens who are
always on the "push" as well as the old
"mess backs" who growl and snarl when
shaken up out of the old ruts ; an editor
who can treat of public school matters
alike acceptable to truth, trustees, teachers
and patrons ; one who can comment upon
religieus questions so as to please and edify
both saint and sinner ; one who can dilate
upon the habit of drunkenness and the
dramshop business so as to satisfy the pro
hibitionist as well as the saloon keeper ;
one who can write long dissertations on the
subject ot taxation in such a manner as to
meet the approval of the tax payer as w ell
as the tax eater ; one who can suggest a
plan by which the buyer and seller both
can make handsome profits in their dealings
with each other ; one who ran explain how
a man may be taxed for the benefit of an
other and yet be benefited himself. Ap
plicants for this position will be required
to pass a "clyll service examination"before
aboard composed of one member from
each class of citizens above named. Salary
nominal.
