THE CHINESE PROBLEH.
The ruin of tlit Knsoian Kmpire in
now predicted, and it is the Russian
press that so predicts this terrihle
calamity to it country. The"Kossiya,"
leading journal of St. Petersburg, cay
that the Cninese trouble " threaten to
ruin the Russian Kmpire." If the
power, it i added, continue their pres
ent policy, China w ill le unable to pay
a money indemnity, and consequently
the power will demand and secure
mining, railroad and commercial eon
cessions, which will result in the di
vision, of the Chinese Kmpire into
spheres of influence and, ultimately, in
to the partition of China, in pite of the
assurances of the power to the contrary.
The Chinese, it is further asserted, in-
dignantly, will emigrate to Siberia, and ;
the "yellow hortle will again "precipi
tate itself tow anl Kuroean Russia,
which will sink to the position of second
rate poaer. The other ower probably
will le satisfied with thi eventually,
their interests U-ing solely commercial."
The Novoe Vremya finds the situation
even worse, and say the powers must
act independently. Henceforth, it as
terts, each power must 1-ear the re- j
sponsibility of its own army. It is true j
that the English journals in Japanese
ports have endeavored to convince the J
Japanese, with some success, that they i
can easily vanquish the Russians. The ;
present campaign, however, gave the J
armies of the two powers an opportuni
ty to learn and esteem each other. The
Novoe Vremya says : "Russia and Ja
pan will dictate the future of East Asia."
The English press has lieen severe in
its criticisms upon the attitude of the
United States telative to the Chinese
complications, based "upon the uo
reliable advices of their American cor
respondents. After careful
inquiry

It does not, however, at this time arid! H seems that a standing army is

The United States is in accord with the
powers to exact a reparation from China
which is wholly within the power ol
China to grant, and no more. These
corre-s,ndents of the English press
should be "muzzled" as it is evident
they woud like to create dissension in
the general arrangement of the Chinese
difficulty.
WOKK FOI4 THE FOOL-KILLER
"Jesus Christ, Thomas Jefferson and
W. J. iiryan will live in the hearts of
the true men and women until the end
of time. To repudiate either one would
be to repudiate all three. They will be
the illustrious trio in the world's his
tory." " Kentucky," correspondent
from (J rant's Pass in Medford Enquirer.
Then Christ has been repudiated along
with lirymi. It's a wonder that "Ken
tucky" did not include Kentucky state
in the list, and put Krytn I fore the
Sin of (iod. The fool-killer should
make a trip to Grant's Puss.
COMMISSIONER HERHANN.
A telegram from Washington under
date of Nov. IS, announce the rcsigna
t ion of Hon. liiniter Hermann, Com
missioner of the General I-ni! Otlice.
Mr. Hermann i a candidate to succeed
Mr. Mcllride a Senator from Oregon.
The hitter' term exj-irea on Marih
4, next. Mr. Hermann feels confident
of hi ability to w in the seat, and ha
asked President McKinley to name a
Commissioner to succeed him within
three month. Mr. Hermann has many
warm supporter in the state, but there
appear to be a great opposition to hi
candidacy in some quarters, particularly
in Portland. The Orcgonian i a titter
enemy of the Commissioner, as i of
course the Telegram. The dispatch say
there i a doubt in Washington among
Oregonians about Hermann tciug able
to win. It is announced in this con
nection that President McKinlev lie-1
lieve in Mr. Hermann' sincerity of pur-
Mise, and has promised the Cotnmission
ership to a well know n Minnesota man.
Mr. Hermann declines to say whether
or not the rumors of his contemplated
retirement and Candidacy for the Sena
torship is nuthentic. If true there will
no doubt lie a bitter contest, for the
Clllini,iolwr i(l t ,lIy a ,mr
ticularly fortunate man in politic and a
brainy man, but he is a hard tighter as
well.
In connection with thi rumor,
Commissioner Hermann advise a friend
in Salem that w hile he visited the Presi
dent immediately after the election, and
Mr. McKinley expressed hi gratifies-
tion at the splendid vote given him in
Oregon Ian increase of nearly 12.000 over
that of four years ago) no mention of hi
resignation was made to the President,
nor was anything said regarding the
Senatorial situation in Oregon. So there
you have it !
Congressman Caterings Advice.
Congressman Catchings of Mississippi
(gives the Democrats this advice:
"Drop free silver, drop fnsionism,
drop the cry of government by injunc
tion, drop the cry of imperialism and
militarism, drop all discussion alioiit the
Philippines until peace has been re-
I stored ; drop appeals to the passions and
preiudi "es of the idle ami discontented ; i
revive the Federal question of taxation ; !
, i .1 n . l . .i . I
teach the Democratic doctrine that peo- !
I'le cannot U- made rich hy taxing them ; j

'blue-blood"s.tate. Murder.iold-bl xxled,
dastardly murder, stalks abroad in that
state, and no man is safe to express an
honest opinion. If such a thing were
possible, the right of state government
i should be taken from Kentucky and a
protectorate placed over it. Another
clash is imminent between the Federal
ani Mate authorities mere over the re
cent gross election frauds. This is only
the la-ginning of another prolonged anil
bitter contest in Kentucky. The ISlue
(irass State is certainly earning, with its
repeated assassinations and ignoble
deeds, tfie reputation of " The Dark and
bloody Ground." Just now that state
is a disgrace to the Union.
()ur good friends of Lake county who
have not yet figured out that a creamery
would be a well-paying industry, hut
who are sitting down and waiting pa
tiently for other fortunes to come along
and smile on them, are apt to have
need of soft cushions.
Now for that Nicaraguan Canal !
