Lebanon Express. H. Y. KIRKPATRICK, Editor - and Proprietor. THE COMING ELECTION. On the first Monday in Pecero W, the citizens of Lebanon will be called upon to elect officers for the ensuing rear. The officers last year have served the city to the best ot tneir ability. The ensuing year will be a trying one on both the city and its officials. There will be bills and no money to pay with. Good financiering w'll be necessary. The council will have disagreeable duties to perform aud will receive many kicks for pay. It is a thankless job at best. But some one will kere to serve and the very best are needed now. The question of bonding the city may be brougnt up. This is uo time to divide na politics, religion or temperance. Let men of thorough business qualifications be elected, aud then let the people sustain them iu their efiorts on behalf of the city. What the state needs most of anything in the way of legislation. is a law regulating railroad freight rates. For years past, or even since the Southern Pacific Com pany obtained control of its lines in Oregon, that corporation has taken all the profit there was in farming, for carrying the farmer's products to market. This fact is so plain and indisputable that argument is not necessary to establish it. For instance, it has coat about eighteen cents a bushel to ship wheat from Rosebbrg to Portland, until recently a slight reduction was made, the price be ing so low that the company pro bably thought it a good idea to allow the farmer to keep enough back to pay for his sacks, other wise no grain might have been shipped. These rates should be cut in two by the legislature, which has full power to do so. In the middle western states the question of railroad fares and freight enters largely into the election of members of the legis lature, 'and it is high time the same thing was agitated here. Of course, the present legislature will be dom inated by Joe Simon, and the Southern Pacific Company's inter-, ests are .afe, but two years later the monoply should be given a black- eye. If the press of the state will begin the agitation now and keep it up, the people will rule in the session og W. Rose burg Review. The agricultural depression may have some beneficial results in Ore gon. Men will be driven to great er and more diversified exertions. Agricultural lands will be put to a greatef variety of uses. Other re sources will be more energetically developed. Already "hogs" are . much talked of. Oregon should produce all the hog products, dairy products, and poultry and eggs it consumes. The fruit industry is coming to the front. Except for early fruits, California can not compete successfully with Oregon in the territory north and eaBt of here. Oregon fruit is a wonder to all eastern beholders. The "best efforts will make this st te second to very few in the union for fruit. Oregon's mineral wealth is vast, almost illimitable. It is being de veloped as never before. The rug ged but rich mountains and can yons of Eastern and Southern Ore gon contain untold millions, that capital labor will produce and pour out into the channels of commerce. Lumber, .fish, live-stock and vari ous other products, will swell the ever grandly increasing total as the years pass. There is no better field for money ind muscle, brains and industry, than Oregon. Ex change. The great contest that will he waged in the next session of the Oregon legislature will be for the re-enactment of the mortgage tax law and exemption for honest in debtedness. The present assess ment laws work an injury upon the masses in the interest of the money lenders, and are unjust and inequitable. The borrower, the jroor man struggling to build him self a home, the farmer whose furm is mortgaged, t lies a all suffer from double taxation. The Re view has fought the battle of the people upon this question for years, and proposes to see that all that honest efiort can do will be done in order to get the legislature to act in the interest of the plain penpieofthe land, to use a favorite expression of Abraham Lincoln. In Douglas county, there is but one opinion upon this subje.'t, and evwy candidate for the legislature gave his written pledge to work for the re-enactment of just laws. Roseburg Review. The monster petition gathered by the San Francisco Examiner against the extension of time for the payment ot the Southern Pa cific railroad's indebtedness to the government will bring the govern mental control of railroads to the front as leading question at the next session of congress. There should be but one opinion among the people regarding the indebted ness of this company to the gov ernment. The debt Bhould be paid or the toad sold. As to whether the government should bid it in is a momentous . issue upon which there is much to be said on each -side. But there can be only one decision as to the necessity of the government enforcing all its legal claims and at the first opportunity. It requires no argument to dem onstrate that the owners never did and do not now intend to Keep faith with the government. Then why parley with them? Forclose the mortgages. Portland Sun. Two of the largest ships on the free list have just been chartered to go hence in ballast to Portland to load wieat for Europe. These are the Ketmere and Primrose Hill, each nearly 2,400 tons regis ter. The farmer gets S2s 6d to Cork for ordetB or Is 3d less direst, and was taken by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. The latter was chartered by the Pacific Elevator Company which pays towage expenses, and gives the ship 27s fid. These are the first on this port for wheat tonnage for Oregon this year. It issaid the Evesham Abby now due here in ballast from Japan will be ordered to load wheat for Europe. An exciiange says: "Somebody who wants to explain what the editorial 'we' signifies Bays it has a variety of meanings, varied to Buit the circumstance; for an ex ample: When you read that 'we expect our wife home today,' 'we' refers to the editor-in-chief; when it is 'we are a little late with our work,' it includes the whole office force, even to the devil and the towel; in 'we are having a boom,' the town is meant; 'we received over 7,000,000 immigrants last yejr,' embraces the nation; but 'we ha. c hog cholera in our midst,' only means that the man who takes the paper and does not pay for it is very ill." The Czar Alexander is deid and his eldest son reigns under the title of Nicholas II. The dead czar exerted a good effect on the world's progress. He has done much to better his country and has kept Europe from a useless war. The new ruler seems in clined in the same way, with probably a more kindly feeling toward the persecuted Jews. He is a young man of ordinary mind, who, but for his inheritance, would be earning his bread by the sweat of his 'brow, like the rest of us. The Eastern papers say that money matters are getting easier, business is begining to revive and the factory wheels are begining to turn throughout the manufactur ing districts. In Iowa times have not been better for years than they are now. Corn, pork and beef, the three great staples of that country, command a good price. Prices have about reached bedrock else where and a general business re vival is sure to be the logical reaction. With the coming of manufactur ing industries will come small farms, diversified production and greater prosperity for ull. Ths same would largely result' from building up the fruit indusUy to whe.'e it belongs. If both were properly fostered we would have the wealthiest section of country on the globe. The stee1. range men are evident ly doing a good business in this county, judging by the number ol ranges they have hud shipped in. Ojjr home uierchunts can give bet ter value for the money,' aud can be depended upon for fair dealing. Eugene Register. It is a poor law that will t-iinviot a single mun of adultery, but will let a married man go free because his wife doesn't coniplaiii. The law is sll right in regard .to the single man, but is at fault in deal ing with a married man. Ex. , The first agricultural fair ever attempted by Indians is in prog ress on the Oneida Reservation seven miles wsst of Depero, Wis. The Bhow opened with more than two hundred entries, including a fine display of fruit and vegetables. The dispatches tell us that wc are to have immigratioa by tht train load from South Dakota These people are seeking Oregon, and Oregon is s -eking just such people. Let them come; the more the merrier. The farmers of Nebraska are prerairing to put iu the' biggest crop of grain in the history of the state. They think there vill be tin increased demand for it nexl year. Col. E. Hofer, editor of the Salem Journal, is making political Bpeechs in Dakota, and the native cyclone improves the opportunity to take a much needed vacation. The Election Returns; Without going into details, the whole country seems to have been swept by a republican eyclone, knocking out com pletely the democratic majorities in clow states, and lessening them in the strongholds. This cyclone in like the one that came two years ngo, when the republicans .were knocked out, Two vears hence another eyclone will likely knock out the Republicans again.
