THE FOLI1IOAI. OUTLOOK. JN- OK1UION. Oregou id nn atrrieultural stuto nnd while It is rensounblo to expect that Oregon shall go Republican In .finio next, it Is by no itiu.nm certain tbe Bhite will go ltepubltcati. It hni always been mi uncertain stnto politlcilly. Like New York It has reversed its Verdict iu sueceedlhg flections. It is a luird state to prog nosticate lesults iu. There is an uncertain vote out of aft proportion to the lotul vole, computed with oilierblatts. The independent voter is numyiMus aud his hatclut hus cut d'l.vn muny u blooming political sluublet. It is moiouuLerlnlnstnco lis ngilcultural voters havo been igauired into tho Alliance Iu near ly eveiy couuly In the state. Ore gou was always a Grange state, but now it Is an Alliance state also. It bus had siuoe tlye jeuis a Granger Democratic governor, who hus In ill Ills messages cuiphus'.zed thojtn- litnlunt articles of faith enunciated i, tho Grange, and wlio has given Grangers aud Gi anger Democrats be preference in nearly nil his ap pointments. Most of Governor IVuuoyer's appointees have been of this class and their iullueuce iu the state for Giauger politics is not 'nconhjderable. From entirely reliable Democintle information, there is no doubt but that an effort will be made to Aim tho allladWfgTange, prohibition and Pepnoyer volo at tho polls In 1802 in the interests of Democracy. If cou- ;itSH pass a free silver bill, and Hill oe tho Democratic nominee there a ill be a Democratic platform drawn In this stnto with the nolo view of uulifying the above quurtet of ele ments ngulust the Bcpnbllcau ticket, no matter-who composes it, or upon what platform it runs. It is best to cousider tho worst possible, when preparing t j faco an ouemy in poll lies. Tho success of Goveruor Pen uoyer will bo justification to more Democrats to support such a plan. Against this kinltf of oomWudtlon tho Republican? rnuaifcsilho stnto in June. To lose Oregon iu June would be to give the Harrison rtdminlstrntlon a black eye at the outset. Defeat In the firet stuto to vote and that au agricultural state In the Northwest, would menu for the Republican party to row against the strenm duilng the whole mc. The turning point iu tho political lido of 1892 Is in Oregon iu June. I'ht Republican party to win in the firming state ought to win on the lirn round in n pivotal, uncertain, agricultural stuto Hko Oregon, A ceriiflcnto of endorsement from a state like Oregon means victory from tho Pnciflo to tho Atlantic. TUB IJLANO KKKI5 P1LVUU JIIM, Tacoma News, Dem: The first result of this will bo to ubsolutelj lix the minimum price of silver In tills country at 129. This is consider ably nbovo the price In any other part of the world, (tho price Iu this country is 00), aud it is dlfilcult to seo how wo can prevent tho surplus silver stock of. Europo being shipped here, melted and sold to tho govern ment ns long as wo havo gold to pay for It. Apart from tho merits of the bill Itself it Is extremely bud politics to force tho Issue at tho pre&out time. It cannot become a law, nnd there fore Its only cilect can bo to place the Democratic party on record as in favor of the ujost radical silver Itglslatlon. What is to bo gulned by thN? The sliver producing states ure hopelessly Republican; they cannot bo won over by any measure, how ever radical. On tho other baud tho Democrats cannot carry New York hampered by this Issue. The other doubtful state of tho East will on this Issue become certululy Republi can, 31It, IIII.U Senator Hill ha alienated a con siderable uumber of frleudu by forc ing the Now Yorlt convention o eaTly. It was a bold movo and alarmed the timid and conser vative. Rut no doubt Hill foresaw much or till of tho opposition tho move would exclto and deliberately counted tho cost. His cundldaoy is nicettwirlly of a rather desperate churnoter and lie muxt make his strength as ho goes; and nothing could start him so well an the solid voU of New York, which he ex pected nnd tlll Intends to secure. Sir. Cleveland was fortunateenough to draw "ilnst blood" In tho contest for delegate, und may divide tho delegation, but tho chance are that Hill will get most or all of it Thut will give Lira preatige, the irritation will wear away, and tbe result may finally be Hill's ttomluntlon.

A li'iulin; Ipr Ealogizos mericin System. t.o From tho Ilelfost (Ire'nntt) News Letter, Jan. I.", 1KU.1 There enn be but little doubt ns to tbe letoilt of the discussion preclpi tjted In the American hous of Rep resent al Ives on Mouduy by one of the leaders of tho Democratic party on tho fcubject of reciprocity as em bodied In the McKluley act. "The resolution submitted to tho house was dUcussed airaiu last evening. It recites tho letteis that Mr. Blulue wroto, by the direction of President Harrisou, to the representatives of Venezuela, Nicaragua and Columbia, and of other nations, warnlug them that uucs4 ft reciprocity arrange ment were made, tho president would i'sue a proclamation on March 15th next, suspending tho freo ad mission of certain products from those countries. The resolution then says thut such nn action ou tho part of the president would be uncon stitutional, onerous and unjust, aud Instructs tho ways nnd raeaus coni ruitteo to report before February 25th n bill repealing tho reciprocity sec tion, nnd authorizing tho president to declare tho ports of tho United States free for all products of the uatiousof North and South America, on which no export duties are Im posed, so long as such nations Bbal! admit, free of taxes, Hour, corn, meal, and other breudstulls, pre served meats, aud buoIi other prod uctsas may be agreed upon. Ono can Fcarcoly doubt what will bo the issue of tho debate, Tho action of the president will assuredly bo up held, for it will be remembered that one clause of tho MoKiuloy act empowers tho president to adopt whatever course ho believes to ho dibCieet, nud for tho benefit of the stales In regard to tho alteration of existing protective tnrllls. If ho believes thut it would bo to tho ad vantage of any considerable class of tho people who havo elected him ns their president to make special im positions iu certain cases or to re msvo others already existing, tho president Is practically freo to do S3, for whatever restrictions are plucod upon him nro of an unimpor tant character. Tho mimber of persons lu this country who will corao to tho 'con clusion that it is a matter of regret that similar powers are not at tho commaml of ' tho head of her majesty')! government are, wo nro convince, lupreaslng dally. it While protectionist principles nro extend ing lu every direction, and aro found to operate to the advantage of every stato adopting them, Great Britain remains In her old position of isolation, so fur as the freo trade is concerned. Whatever commer cial treaties wo may miko must in variably bo fur tho benefit of outstde powers, not for tho profit of tho manufacturers or producers at homo, tho fact being that every piotcctlon 1st power possesses n weapon by which It can compel us to accept Its own terms. The United States may decline to accept auy of our pro ducts, except at prohibitive rates, and yet wo aro compelled to open our ports to ovory artlclo thut Is sent to us from tho other side of tho Atlantic, even though tho mauu facturo of a similar artlclo bo the means of support of hundreds of British manufacturers. Without reciprocity a commercial treaty with a great manufacturing power Is almost impossible. Our diplomat ists aro simply compelled to accept whatever terms may bo offored to them by tho representatives or othor countries. Thus It Is thatourtradnls suffering from tho rivalry of Germuuv, Franco nnd tho United States. Upon several oc casions the Marquis of Salisbury has referred to the necessity- that exists for tho government of Great Brltlau to have at their command some system by which thoso nations udoptlug oppressive restrictive tarlils may bo met lu tho samo spirit by England. Immediately however, the freo traders havo raised a clamor funoylng their principles are lu danger. Wo trust thut before long a m,ove may bo mado In the right direction, with u view to show tho rest of the world that we are not all so devoted to these theories aa tp bo incupablo of entertaining othoro formed on more equitable basis. The Front Street Race Question..' Editor Jouiinai.: Sir: -As I own a house and lot on tho east side of Front street, opposite tho mill nice, I wish to say, that I can seo but llttlo use Iu covering that part of It iu It Is located near the west eldo of said street, and but three resi dences on thut side, the Mill Co. owning (I believe), the bulnnco of tholuud. There In about fclxty feet of street cast the ditch that Is clear of travel; ample for teams to pass, repass, turn, eto. without molesting each other. Ik-nide, this part of the ditch is off the line of travel from the bridge on North Mill creek, southeast, bo thut travel would have to make a dodge to get onto It If cov ered, I cannot see how (he city or publlo would derive much benefit from it, when completed. Rut If (he city wants some of it covered, would It uot be better to have thuj part planked over betweeu Frout aud Commercial street, and probably to Liberty. In that case, I think tho property holders opposite would contributo something for (hat pur pose, nud tho city nnd publlo would bo moro benefitted by It. Rut for tho city counoll to require this almost useless expenditure, to plank that part of tho ditch least in tho wny of any of it, nro making an un just exaction of n friendly company, who havo invested so heavily lu tbe Improvement of our city. It seems that tho city authorities net on the prluclpal that "might makes right," but if I am not in possession of all the facts, excuse this imputation. G. R. Pottokfp. The JuunNAi. would Inform Mr. Potlorft that tho city council has ordered tho race covered. All tho business men of Salem asked thut tho Mill Co, bo released from incur ring that expense, nnd begivon timo to take their rnco out of the streets. But the demand of tbe Front street property owners prevailed. Tho question Is who nsked Blnino to decllno or retire, and what was there to decllno or retire from. Tenchlng uowadays is pumping In from without. True education must consist of developmeut from within tow'urd truo ideals. Deserving Praise.

Despondency, and temporary insanity were the cause of Mrs. Elizabeth D. Love's death, ns was shown in tho official investigation of tho coroner's jury yesterday. The evidence of tbe witnesses examined showed conclu sively that tho death of tho former matron of tho Portland hospital re sulted from suicide, and the jury briefly found that Bhe committed the deed by taking strychnine. Frank Badger, a son of the de ceased, was flret called, uud testified that the deceased did not appear de spoudeut to him previous to her death. Sho was matron of tho hos pital until a year ago, when she resigned, and engaged in private, uurslug. R. B. Kulght,drugglst at 72 Morri son street, wub next called, and stated that she had bought a dime's worth of Btrychnlno of him about an hour previous to her death, Bhe said sho wanted it to poison a cat. He was personally acquainted with her, nnd hud no cause for Busploion when ho sold hor the poison. Bhe had dealt with him many a time boforo. Coroner River asked him whether there was no law restricting the sale of poisons, to which Mr, Knight re plied that there wero no limitations that ho was aware of, except for the registration of sales. Mrs. M. E. Wyatt, proprietress of tho lodglug-houao at 71J Morrlsou street, whero Mm. Lovo died, told her Htory Iu a clear and concise man ner. Mrs. Lovo had been roaming with her eluco Soptember 1, with tho exception of three or four weeks in January nnd tho flret part of February, when sho had gone to Montana. Since hor return she had beon very alck uud required constant nursing attendance. Sho aoted strangely, sho thought, and eoemed to bo mentally, as woll aa physically, unbalanced. Dr. E. C. Gelguer, th physician, called at Mrs. Love's lat momouts, guvo his ofllclal testimony of the death to the effect that on his arrival at tho lodging-house he found Mrs. Lovo lu tho lost throes of pois onous convulsions from a dose of strychnine. All JiIb eudeavors to resuscitate her from herunforlunaU stato wero unavailing. Mrs. E. Powell, who shared the room with Mrs. Lovo, stated that when Mrs. Lovo was at Great Falls, Mont., alio attempted to commit sui cide by taking au overdose of mor phine, and that, on receiving a tele gram from ,hor friends there, she Went to Montana aud brought her back to Portland, thinking that ft change of associations, and bring ing her back to her old friends, would onllvou her, which aeonied to havo tho desired effect, though she was of tho opinion that sho was tem porarily lnsauo when sho committed tho rash sot. Peter HJgglns, a nurse of the Portland hospital, who roomed next to Mrs, Love, made a lengthy state ment of tho coso of tho details of Mrs. Love's death, showing thateh was tired of life and took the poison to ond her troubles. Her last words to him were "I havo too much trouble, and I canuot stand It." AI.I.BN a. tiiuumak. CoiiUMiius, O., Fob. 18.
