The bourbon managers at Washington
are not alarmed without cause over the
outlook for the coming congressional cleo
lions. About seventy-fve OF the present
Democratic representatives were success
full by more or less narrow margins, which
since the error of humbug set In have In
many cases dwinded TO nothlngness. -

There are about thirty congressional dis.
tricts In the northern states, now repre-
scented by Democrats, which can and ought
TO be carried by the Republicans In Novem

The tariff thinkers have aimed at the pres
eryatlon Of solid south in the preparation
Of their schedule Of duties. They are quite
willing to have q healthy tariff on sugar
and such articles as will help the south and
Will not drive from the Democratic party
the sugar planters and others equally inter
ested, but the industries Of the north, where
Republican maiorities are found, must look
out for themselves when Morrison gets after
them with his reduction scheme.-[Repub-

Let us allow everything evil that the
Democracy wishes TO say about us, and the
,'old rotten reglmon is Infinitely ahead Of
the present satisfactory condition. When
was ever, under Republican rule, this yard
or any other yard refused work upon which
It bad made the lowest bid, because apri-
waite individual told the Secretary of the
Navy that II was too cheap. The Republl-
can party Is responsible for that, we pre-
sumo. VIII Mr.. McGettigan go the Repub-
lloan party to solicit work for this yard
while he Is In the eastp Certainly not.
Where will ho goS Why he will go to the
Democratic statesman who are holding II
back, perhaps on the same principle which
actuated Sam. Randall concerning the APP
preparation year ago, the "interest OF the
Democratic party.n Have not things come
TO pretty pass when we pick up a mau
from the streets and send him to the ma
tional capital to supplicate with the Secre-
tary Of the Navy for enough work to ena-
bic that man TO be elected TO county
oflice.-[The Chronicle, Vallejo, Call
The political outlook for the Republl-
cans Of Oregon and Of Lane county is good.
The disappointment Of the Democ at
the course pursued by the administration is
80 great that IL cannot fail to have some
effect at the polls. They will generally
vote their ticket, regardless Of all human
interests or earthly considerations, as they
have always done, but there will be a few
here and there who will not vote at all or
will vote with the Republicans. On the
other hand, no Republican who voted the
Republican ticket before the Inauguration
of President Cleveland can have any reason
for not voting the Republican ticket now
Those Republicans who were inclined to
leave the party on the greenbaclS or silver
question have seen that Cleveland is much
more in sympathy with the gold bugs than
any Republican President has ever been.
Democrats who voted against Blaine on
these issues have had occasion TO regret It,.

1t Is becoming apparent that the people
OF Ohio have progressive, live man In the
office Of governor; man Of depth and
breadth Of view to grapple with great ques!
tions and go to the bottom OF things. The
habit OF cheating the tax duplicate at the
expense OF those who fairly list their prop
erty for taxation has become an enormous
evil in Ohio, and 1t requires courage to as
sail It as Gov. Foraker has done, but we
doubt not that he VIII be sustained by the
people in demanding that all values shall
be listed for taxation.-I Guernsey Times,

Some Of .he Knights OF Labor are said to
be angry at whoever 1t was that made pub
lie Mr.. Powderly's secret circular. This is
foolish. Next to Powderly himself, the
member who gave that document to the
press has done more to elevate the order In
public opinion than any other man. IL the
many erroneous ideas which have been very
generally entertained about the progress
and aims OF the Knightsof Labor have been
somewhat dispelled, 1t is owing to Mr..
Powderly and the publication OF his cir
cular.-[The Standard, Sterling, ILL.,
AS the English policy in foreign affairs
always bends to suit a mercantile pressure
at any particular point, it is not surprising
to find that the present depression in trade
has caused lively demands on the govern
ment for relief, or that the government has
gone to work with vigor and determine
ton. Ways and means In abundance are
suggested for the relief OF the merchants
and manufacturers, but the proposition ap-
pearfng to meet with the most favor is that
to increase the number Of consuls, aud dis
tribute them at points where consuls have
never before been stationed, with strict In
| junctions to do everything possible to work
up British trade In the localities to which
they are sent. So a swarm OF consuls will
be shortly sent out, with orders TO do their
best, under pain Of recall, and the British
tradesmRn anticipates a stirring revival
Of trade.-[Weekly Boomerang, Laramie,

II Is believed that Mr.. Morrison, by Thu
abandonment of his first tariff bill and re
porting new and altogether different on
instead, has only jumped from the fryin!
pan into the fire. In his first bill the organ
lied industries OF the country were at
lied at once sent In upon the ways AMI
means committee such flood of stronI
remonstrance that the only course seemed
to be withdrawal Of the offensive meas
ure, which was accordingly done. In hi
new bill o very different course is pursued
and the aim OF his free trade list Is almos
wholly against agriculture, free wool beinl
one OF its leading features. But Mr.. Moi
rison is already beginning to realize that b
has made another wrong move, and tina
the unorganized agricultural interests
with the wool growers In the lead, are al
ready after him and his free trade scheme
