The Deadly Bullet.
James Williams Killed by C.. L.

A difficulty arose between c. L

The Eastern War.

The news received here from
abroad, is to the effect that all
Europe is in connection.
The excitement among the PEG
pie throughout England is said to be
Intense; some for and some against
the proposition for war.
Il is said If Parliament refuses
TO vote the supplies asked for, the
premier viii dissolve it and ap-
peal TO the people, but continue
,warE$le preparations.
While the British lion thus
.roars, the Russian bear marches
straight along toward GaiIipoli
and Constantipople, growing and
showing his teeth at every step,
virtually saying to Mr.. Leo, "Come
on, il 10 20 more than l expected;
come on. 1 arr ready for you"
And England must now make a
big fight or clear back down. 1t
is no horde of wild negroes in
Africa she is about to attack this
time. She has handled them
pretty much as she pleased.
1t is different nov. She is strong
and bold. So is Russia. Both
have tremendous powers and re-
sources; and their coming together
in clash of arms Eill be no
cbld's play. From the first, the
present war has been one of de-
vastation, desolation and death.
l, will lie no less but rather more
so, If England joins in il; aud the
destruction of human lite will be
frightful. England. a proiessedIy

.minions as to prevent another
from extending its dorninions
The Russians have recently gained
important victories, and the Turks
are pretty much hors-du-combat.
Left alone, they can not fight much
longer. Already their losses in
men, means and munitions of
war have been enormous; and they
are left comparatively helpless
people.
Business matters are reported as
very dull in Great Britain, France
and Germany, and failures occur
almost daily. This may help the
war spirit, as people are generally
much more ready to 60 to war 10
hard than in prosperous times.

Supreme Judgeshlp.

The time is rapidly approach
ing when it will become the du-
ty OF the people to select a can
didate or candidates from the
middle division Of the State fol
the Supreme bench. 1t is pref
~ generally understood that
The public interest demands the
services OF the Hon. w. f.
Cooper as one of the Supreme
Judges from the State at large,
and if lie will consent to serve
he will be chosen with singular
sslnanimity. But the question is
frequently asked who should we
select from the middle division
proper? The bar and the poo
pie of this section Of the State
have very generally expressed a
desire TO confer this honor upon
the Hon. w. p. Hickerson,
late Judge Of the 9th Judicial
Circuit, and we know of no one
who could more worthily wear
il, nor one who could and
acould do the State more service.
Through his long experience on
the bench he has borne the
n ame of an honest man and an
upright Judge, As a Aisi Pri-
ass Judge he has no peer in the
State, and as a criminal lawyer
anavJudge his ability is second
TO none. And then he is a
acork;er, he makes the dispatch
OF public business, and public
economy, matters of the first i'm
portance, and his obligation to
do his duty to parties litigant
and TO the public he makes sec
,opdary to nothing. Why cam
not Judge Hickerson's services
he had upon the Supreme bench?
Does not the crowded condition
of our Supreme Court dockets
seem 10 demand the services of
such a Judge?

OREGON VS.. THE TERRITORY

1t may be thought inYidious in Us to
draw comparisons discreditable in any
regard to cur own Territory. but if in
80 doing it will throw any light toward
the discovery Of the cause Of the dis
arrangement. or suggest any incentive
toward seeking to apply the remedies
for the same, perhaps the end will JUS
tify the means.

Willamette valley cannot but DO struck

SCENTS to the unprogressive appearance
of places north of the Columbia 10 our
own Territory.
Yet in point of natural resources, the
advantage. if either way, is on the aide
of the Territory. Taking the eastern
and western sections together, probably
as much grain is raised in Washington
Territory as in Oregon. As to the fish
cries, Oregon can claim an interest only
in tho lower Columbia river and that is
common property, and we have in adj
dition the monopoly of the upper river
and all of Puget Sound In the export
Of timber we have greatly the prepon-
derance, and of coal we have the exclu-
sive possession. In all the elements
Of q withdrawing. independent
State we have at least an equal endow-
ment with our neighbor.
What then is the reason in the dis
parity in the actual conditions OF the
two domains. The explanation is
found in the difference of political con-
dition. Oregon is State of the Union
with influence in the government.
Therefore she Is able to command CAPT.
tai and grows into commercial and
social greatness. Washington Terri
tory, on the contrary, is a dependency.
She has no voice or control even Of her
own affairs, for which reason she is re-
garded of no account, with "none so
poor to do her reverence" But the
world moves Times will change, and
we will change with them. The adop-
ton Of our State Constitution and ad-
mission into the Union, will make a
new era in the history and fortunes of
Washington Territory.
