The habits, whims aud vices of the rulers of tho national conglom eration of Europe have always been the blessing or burden of their sub' jectB, whoso lot it was to accept Iu slleuco the traditional sentences which were pursued, In many cases, hundreds of years before they were born. A licentious and squander ing Hessian duke sold his subjects to Qeorgo III of Great Britain to assist in shooting down the patriots of the American colonies. We quote tins one instanco because our own peoplo had to sutler hardship aud death because a ruler of a small European principality had left the path of virtue to lire in debauchery and vice. The 18th century was the pel tod of immorality and vice iu high places, and tne punish ment which followed was severe and Impressive. It required a war of twenty years to furnish human blood enough to print a red letter at the end of tho bloody struggle which culminated and terminated In the battle of Waterloo. Napoleon, the great puuisher of kings and nations, was Bent to bt. Helena, aud the once proud empire ol Germany which Napoleon "with tho consent of tho German princes" had dis solved was not restored. The great tst part of the present trouble In Get many dates back to tho first peace of Paris. When Napoleon In vaded Germany the last timo, the Gciman armies met him under the promises that their empire would be restored after the daring usurper's power would bo broken. This turned out to be a deception, a He, which was held out to the honest people, so that they would believo they were not dj ing in vain. After Paris was taken, Napoleon banished, and a weak Bourbon prince declared king of France, the German empiro was not restored. English aud Russian intrigues prevented tho ful fillment of the high-sounding prom ises made by the kings and dukes of Germany to their patriotic subjects. When peace was declared tho people weie not satisllcd, because tho dearly uchieved interruption of lighting beneiltted tho kings only. Tho peace rested on an unnatural basis, and was foul to the core. This was the time of tho restoration of tho kalserrelch (empire). Then tho French nation was with out a government, and felt relieved when her ambitious aud daring hero was taken caro of. Wo often thought it was Blsmark's great mistako when ho consented to tho corona tion of William iu a just conquered foreign laud. But like common human beings, tho leaders of the German army were possessed of au overbearlug spirit after all resistance had disappeared. Tho sacred cere mony of crowning an emperor was turned into a malicious insult, to a peoplo which, under any circum stances, Is entitled to u high degree of consideration. To place the crown of Germany upon tho old head of William, while ho was at the French capital, was an Insult unworthy of great statesmen Ilko BIsmark, Moltke, and Frederick, tho crown prince and commander-in-chief. This sacred act ought to have been dono on Geimau soil as an act of peace, as an atonement for broken promises by tho king to tho people; but as It now stands, tho crown of Germany will always bo a crown of thorns, pricking tho proud head of a nation which has proved Itself heroic and even generous on many occasions. Every mistake Is the mother of a family of errors. As long as the Iron Chancellor was at tho helm of state, this first great mistako was neutralized. But ns soon as he was out of tho way, tho woman who was Instrumental in his removal was selected to commit tho second mistuke. She went to Paris, visit ing tho artists, but she also wanted to seo tho place where her father-In law received the crown, the pros pectlve ornamental headgear, under tho shadow of which she enjoyed the title ofempresaforufew months. This straw of vanity broke the camel's back. Tho press of Paris protested and tho artificial lady was reuqested to go home; and homo she went, and the world in general Is more than ever convinced that any present reconciliation between France and Germany is imposslblo During tho second half of the 10th century tho Hate of morality In high and hlgluHt places, has greatly Improved, and tho present ruling families average pretty well with the so-called common peoplo who, by the grace of God, are blessed to bo ruktl by princes born for that special purpose, Two of tho pros peetlve ruler of Kuropcau nations have lately died under doubtful cir cumstances, aud ull that wo call learn out of (bete mysturloun cases is tho fact that the grace of God 1ms not prevented love nfTulrs aud sui cides, In thoso places where ethical forms stand above natural laws. OLKVKLANU'S ONK IUIJA. Air. Cleveland declares that tnrltl reform is to bo the sole isslio in 1802. This Hatters tho free trade proclievl ties of tho mugwumps of New Eng land aud tho ex-rebel free traders of the solid South, aud is tho only issue on which hit. Cleveland cau get the nomination for tho presidency. He puts this siuglo idea to tho front in his own interest, because euough democrats can agree on that to se cure him tho nomination. Tho force bill, so obnoxious to democrats generally, aud even ob jected to by mauy republicans; cen tralization, that holy horror of all democrats; personal liberty, Jell'er soulan simplicity, local seltgoveru nieut, democratic economy and free silver coinage; all these are as uothlug to Grover Clovelaud iu riding his hobby of tarlil reform. It Is not to bo expected that the democratic ex-president, who has degenerated into a Wall street cor poiatiou lawyer, should worry him self about au inadequate constantly contracting currency system, when ho can ride upou tho necks of his party by simply declaring for that meaningless uncertainty tarill re form, which ho promises shall bo a panacea for all evils. WHV rEOPLE DIE? No one can understand w hy some die. Many deaths nro a mystery. Death itself is unfathomable. But a good many people get sick and die for causes that aro not very apparent. Half tho sickness in this city at present is probably duo to the fact that a great part of tho city stands on soil that has not tho least natural drainage except by filtration vertically down thiough tho surface boil, and there it is held in suspen sion, generating gases ami poisoning tho air, and wells and streams. All tho refuse from a family will, in u few years, fill thesoll all around a house and bam. Then, look out. People get sick aud die. They cau seo nothing. But the poison Is there. Whole blocks of such earth-poisoned dwellings In Salem. Enforco tho city ordinances to compel peoplo to connect their drains and water closots with the sewers and tako city water. Moial; Better havoyour premises fixed up so that no refuse or ofral or wastognes into tho ground; bettor nay a water bill each month than leo tho doctors and undertakers, and you will feel a good deal better youisolf. A GOOD APPOINTMENT. Tho appointment of Hon. Peter Paquct as receiver of tho U. S. Land olllce, gives universal satisfaction to his constituents, and tho people throughout tho land district gener ally, Mr. Paquct is one of the pioneers of Clackamas county and a respected and energetic citlzeu of Oregon City. There were several notable aspirants for this position, but Mr. Paquct distanced all his competitors, aud is in every way competent to All this important po sltlon. Enterprise. This is a commendable appoint ment. Mr. Panuet is a man who worked out his timo as a carpenter, becamo a builder and contractor, employing mauy men, and lias tho interests of tho people at heart. His selection, over u senator who Bold his votes for a free pass to Washing ton and back aud a promise of this ofllce, Is one that Is not only credlt ublo but in a certain way u rebuke to tho bossism that seeks to employ federal patronage to influence leglsla tlou.
