The Oregon Election.
San Fr,nci.Oo Examiner. fnem.lI


Oregon has given considerable Re-
publican majority. There was never
any good reason for thinking she would
do anything else. Oregon Is a Repub-
lican State, and in Presidential years
nothing but some unusual inducement,
such as the name of Thurman on the
Democratic ticket, could give the Demo-
Gratis fair chance of carrying 1t. On
the present occasion several circum-
stances have contributed to increase
the Republican majority. Mr.. Her
mann, the present representative in
Congress, has won popularity by his
zeal for the welfare of his constituents
in the matter of appropriations and
such things, and his candidacy for re-
election has strengthened his ticket
The new legislature is to choose
United States Senator, and Senator
Dolph was particularly anxious to sue
ceed himself. Mr.. Dolph is very near
to the heart of those great corporations
which number States among their
available assets, and they have con-
tributed literally to keep him in his
position of usefulness. The tariff has
been another factor in the Democratic
defeat. The time since the Presidents
message brought the subject to the
front has been too short for thorough
education of the people upon it. The
wool growers are strong in Oregon, and
they have the impression that free
wool would diminish their profits
Much might have been done, however,
If the Democratic campaign had been
energetically managed. But no effec-
tive steps seemed to have been taken.
While the Republicans imported brill
liant speakers from California, and even
from the east, who artfully elaborated
the theory that revenue reform would
injure the wool growers, the Demo
Gratis were assisted by nobody. Things
will be very different before November.
In the next five months there will be
time for a good deal of enlightenment
upon the effects of unnecessary taxa
tion, and whenever the case of tariff re.
form is intelligently presented, even
the wool growers will see that they dc
not benefit by policy which contracts
their only market.

The Howler's Warning.

were preparing to go to bed after a

wretch hurled brick through the only
window in our Office. twas intended
for our destruction, but that providence
which watches over an editor as we'll

struck and knocked our bedstead /"
pieces, pied three dead ads. on tln
stone, and then glanced off and ripped
up several feet of flooring, but left our
person untouched. We were out of
the office inside of ten minutes, but the
bloodthirsty fiend had made good his
escape. We have been warned that
we must go, and this is the seventh
emphatic hint to stir our stumps, but
here we squat. We don't vacate. We
don't scare. We don't change our edi-
torial course one iota. We hereby
offer $4,000 reward for information
that will lead to the capture of the das-
tard who attempted to assassinate US,
and hereafter we shall warn the public
that we shall sleep with double-bar-
relied shotgun across the foot of the

late hour to ask us to play game OF
poker should stop at Scott's corner and

Emperor Frederick, who succeeded
to the Prussian throne on the death of
his royal father, on March 9, was the

and was known to the soldiers of the
Emperor as "Unser Fritz" He served
in the Danish campaign, and COM

army i'm the war with Austria in 1856,

his friends. He was fond of farming
and loved simplicity oflife. Before at

SERPENT OF THE LAKE.
Twenty-Five Feet Long, Foot Thick

izing Michigan Farmers.

ALPENA, Mich, June 1.-THE resi-
dents for long distance along Thunder
Bay are terrified over the appearance of
monster lake serpent. A farmer
named Isaacson recently found trail
about foot wide through plowed
field. 1t led down to the bay, where
there were indications of its presence.
Mr.. Isaacson's boy, Grant, was plant
ing potatoes in field near the house,
and was frightened to see huge snake
moving toward him. The boy had with
him double-barreled shotgun, and
fired twice at the monster, when it went
over the ground as lively as horse, and
glided into the bay. The boys father,
attracted by the gun reports, followed
the snakes track to the water. The
boy described the snake as about twen-
ty-five feet long and over a foot thick.
The head was covered with long black
hair. The body is black, with yellow
spots and yellow tail. Where the
snake went under a board fence was
