THE proposition by Representative
Whitthorne, OF this State, for the establish
mcnt Of National Naval Reserve is meet
ing with general approval and especially
by tho leading newspapers OF the country.
Gen. Schofeld gives it hearty endorse
ment, as have the leading officers Of the
navy. No man, be he professional sailor
or soldier, can give good reason for
opposing it, II n military militia is
essential in time OF peace as the nucleus
OF an army, certainly naval militia ms
the basis of an extension and increase OF
the navy is more so, rs tho only enemies
we have TO fear are those beyond the
waters. AS is the case in all European
countries, every vessel with capacity for
service in time OF war that now floats the
National flag should be held by some sort
Of bond TO be turned over to the National
Government for immediate service on de-
mand. A National Marine Militia or re-
serve Is more essential to our service than
forts and Notifications. For II is upon
willing hearts and hands the national de-
Tense must rest at last.

very sore, and think more trouble
will follow. II is certain that if.
any OF the negroes who fired on the whites
are caught they will be killed at once.
TIE feeling, however, is greatest against
the two white men who are said to havo
organized the negroes. Not single
negro is known to have received
any injury whatever. Two white men be-
side those already reported were wounded,
but as their hurts are slight their names
are withheld for prudential reasons.
1t does not appear that the whites, in
attempting to make the arrest were acting
under any legal authority, but they arc
sustained by the entire white population
of Kemper and the adjoining counties,
and it is unlikely that any proceedings
will be taken against them.

The iron manufacturers and coal mine
owners OF Birmingham, Ala, who have
forwarded to Gen. Harrison by the hands
Of committee an address congratuating
him upon his election aud the defeat OF
Cleveland although they call themselves
Democrats cannot really be 80. No DEM
ocrat even though he differed with his
party on the tariff question: could con-
sistcnlly congratulate the Republican can
didote for the Presidency whom he voted
against, upon his victory over Cleveland,
whom he is supposed TO have voted for.
No man who took time 10 think would will
ingly confess thatho had been tryingto run
with the hare aud keep with the hounds,
that while he was ostensiby working for
Cleveland he was hoping for Harrison,
while he was shouting and declaring
for Cleveland he was secretly wishing
for Ilarrison's success. Yet this is the
position these gentlemen OF Birmingham
aud It's vicinity place themselves in. So
far as the Democratic platform adopted at
st. Louis is concerned they knew there
was no hope for them, no hope for the
triumph through Democracy OF their err
roncous and cxecrablo theory Of protcc-
ton. The Presidents tariff reform mes
sage was a plain warning to that effect,
aud the ndorsemont OF that message by
the st. Louis Convention, aud subse-
quontly by the popular vote at the polls,
emphasized this fact. The Democratic
party has always been, and now is, tho

ped on Monday last. They will ar
rive here next week, when the work
of laying them will be hastened on

Those who are canvassing for the

think they will be able to secure the

This will be paying line, as it will

Dawn Of a New Era.

1t is just beginning to dawn upon
the residents of the Willamette val
ley that it is destined at no distant
day to be one of the most progressive,
thickly populated and prosperous
sections of the Pacific Northwest.
Within u very few years, and the
infectious enthusiasm, incident to a
boom, already fills the very air. The
next few months will witness such
development in frui and agricul-
turah interests in the valley as was
not dreamed of few years ago.
