Tim POLITICAL SITUATION OF
EUROPK.
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

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

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.

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

to tho bossism that seeks to employ
federal patronage to influence leglsla

MISCELLANY.
OAK WIIEEIj CO. BURSTS.
Philadelphia, Mar. 20. Tho
firm of Whitney & Sons, car wheel
manufacturers, is financially em
barrassed. Tho firm is now com
posed of John R. and James S.
Whitney, surviving sons of tho
founder. Rumors of tho embarrass
ment of tho firm were confirmed by
James S. Whitney, who declined to
glyo any details boyond admitting
tho bare fact. Tho car wheel works
wero founded by Asa Whitney in
1843. When tho works wero built
they wero among tho finest in tho
country. Au lmmenso trade was
built up. Tho founder died in 1874,
leaving an estate valued at $1,000,000,
and the management of tho concern
fell to his three son, George, John
R. and James S. After tho death of
the father It was found that ho had
left a large dower to his daughter,
who had married Bishop Howepof
Reading. This dower was secured
In tho manufactory. A couplo of
years ngo It was found tho luterest
of this inheritance had not been
regularly paid, and an appeal was
mado to tho courts. An order was
made assessing tho unpaid interest,
and tho plant Is said to have been
mortgaged to Bectiro Its payment.
Gcorgo Whitney died lu 1885, leav
ing an cstato valued at $300,000.
John R. Whitney had also retired
from tho firm, but at tho timo of
placing tko mortgago ho was con
strained to como back to it, and is
now senior member. Since thon
tho works havo been doing a fair
business, but hayo beou gradually
falling behind younger establish
ments. Last year tho rating of tho
firm by commercial agoncies was cut
down to between $200,000 and
$300,000, but their credit was gocd
for that amount.

negro that ho was under contract to
work for him during tho year, and
that unless ho returned at onco to
tho plantation ho would kill him.
Tho negro replied that this was a
free country, and that ho was goiug
to Oklahoma. With au oath tho
planter drew his revolver and shot
tho negro through tho head, killing
him instantly. Tho planter then
walked out of tho train, and after
assuring tho mauy spectators pres
ent oti tho platform that that was
the only way to break up tho d d
