promise to place this country in DEL
icate positiOn.-Pioneer Press.
When the contest becomes one be-
tween the two principles Of Monarchy
md Republicanism, as we believe it
will, It will not need any special intrig-
ueing Of agents to involve the United
States. We have steadily held to the
view that the present European COM
plications would lead to such conflict
and we believe so now.
That tramp who was hanged to a
lamp post in Mankato turns out to I've
a man Of straw. Arrah! You base
towards, to treat poor man of straw
that way, man who never laid any,
thing in your way-except a straw, a
man who was as innocent OF any crime
~ the babe unborn, so to speak. It is
said that this execution, suspension,
lynching and deep nation of taking
on was intended to give warning to
other men Of straw to keep clear of
Mankato. They are fiery people up
there and will not be triled with. Men
OF straw prowling around their streets,
and sleeping in their hay lofts and
straw stacks, will be summarily JAM
med into a suit of clothes and hung up
to every lamp post, as it were. We ad-
wise men Of straw to give Mankato
wide berth and come to Worthington
where we dump them into the sloughs
and leave them to give pleasant NAL
arial tone to the atmosphere.
The opinion that war between Russia
and Great Britain is now inevitable, is
almost universal, both in the diplomat
&c and political circles of Washington.
The foreign ministers, almost without
exception, say there is no way out of
the imbrOgliO, without Il backing down
on ono side or the other that would H.
mount to stigma of cowardice or i'm
becility.-Pioneer-Press.
The Worthington ADVANCE assert
ell the same thing six months ago and
has steadily predicted the most gigan-
tic war. since the days of Napoleon.
The indications are that before the
summer is over England will make 4
furious onslaught upon Russia; that
Russia will not only successfully resist
England but will push southwark and
overrun good portion of Europe; that
the other powers will be compelled to
range themselves on one side or the
other, and that before the war is over
the United States will be drawn into
the contest. The upsllot ought to be,
and may be, the overthrow of Monar-
chy in Europe and the triumph of Re-
publicanism.

VALUABLE lMPoRTATIoN--On Sunday last, a

losing heat. The three -year-old mare Haidee

racing purposes is of secondary consideration !;

OUR GRAIN YIRLp.-A few years since it
was the custom with the merchants and
traders Of Portland and San Francisco to de.
cry this country, and refer to it as a sandy
desert, doomed to eternal desolation. Now
they go off on the other tack and overrate it.
As an illustration, they talk of the country
east OF the mountains marketing, this year,
ten million bushels of wheat. This Is simply
absurd. We have THE land to produce four
times ten million bushels; but it is not oc.
cupied, and the people to cultivate the land
are not here. 1t is quite sure that the yield
of this season will be greatly in excess of
that of last year, and possibly will foot up
between two and three million bushels. Thi
estimate doubles the figures of last year, and
certainly speaks well for the progress already
made. With the immigration now coming
i'll, We may calculate, with favorable season,
in 1879 TO market ten million bushels, and
after that year it IS safe to say that the Co.
lumbia River valley will take rank as the
greatest grain producing district in the Uni
ted States. Just now our friends abroad
are placing their figures too high, but in
year Ut two from date we will justify their
widest estimates.

MITcHELLs STRIHERs.-It is very evident
that the custom house ring intend, if they
possibly can either by fair or foul means, to
control the republican county conventions,
and that the nominees viii be secretly pledg-
ed to vote for Mitchell for United States
senator, if they are elected. There is very
considerable faction of the republican party
who are hostile to Mitchell, but they are
without the organization necessary TO sue
cessfully compete with Mitchell's well drill
ed retainers, and, consequently will be bull
dosed into the support of the men dictated
by the custom house managers. The start
ing of little thumb-papers all over the state
is conclusive evidence of the fact, and shows
that the muchly- senator is at his
old tricks. Our friends in Eastern Oregon
should keep their eyes peeled, and see to it
that not a single Mitchell man is returned
to the legislature From the first Mitchell
was fraud, and his second election would
be disgrace to the people of Oregon. A
time server and a trickster, he is the last
man to represent a state that has many
favors to ask at the hands of democratic
congress.

Mr. Coombs has brought this fine selection of
horses here to sell, and he will give our stock
raisers an opportunity to avail themselves of
the services of Shannon, at $50 We hope that
cur friends Will not allow this rare chance to
pass by without securing the services of this
celebrated stallion We also noticed many i'm

Collins has also fitted up 4 splendid parlor,
