Tns voters Of Oregon do not take
kindly 10 the Mills bill. The late can
yass was made on Il from one end of the
State to the other The issue was forced
by the Democratic leaders not only Of
Oregon but Of the United States Mr..
Smith NJ. Weed was sent into the State
as the special agent Of the reform ad-
ministration, with all the power Of pat
ronsse. for the express purpose Of carry
ing it for the Democracy and Of eiecting
Democratic United States Senator to
help Mr.. Cleveland in that body. And
what is the result? Mr.. Binger Her
mann. the present Dspublican Congress
man. is reelected by majority of .,0o0,
large gain in the width Of the Repub-
lican margin. In the returns for the
Legislature the most noteworthy gains
are found. OF the ninety members Of
the two Houses the Republicans have 20,
majority of so on joint ballot. In the
old Legislature the Republican majority
on joint ballot was only 1G. The result
has knocked silly the Democratic claim
that they would elect the successor to
United States Senator Dolph.

BRADLEY T. JOHNSON, late of the Con-
federacy. in a speech at Baltimore last
week. with more frankness than pru-
dencc, declared that the Confederate sol
dien were getting control of the Gov
eminent. and eulogized Jeff Davis as a
statesman and patriot. Far-seeing men
have maintained for years that Demo
cratic success meant the restoration Of
the South TO control in the nation-a
declaration which Democrats have de-
MED with heat. The boast Of Bradley
johnson proves that there is ground for
the charge. and psoves also that the
South has got 50 far in her movement to
take charge of things that they feel Sc
cure in making il snbject Of rejoicing
and congratulation- This will not strike
the northern ear very pleasantly, and
viii make more certain the defeat the
President has invited by his free trade
heresies.

AND now Mr.. Roger @ Mills says that
Cleveland wanted TO make the Mills bill
even more radical than il was reported
1t might just as well have been allowed
10 represent the real views of the Presi-
dent in all It's free trade intensity. 1t has
been greatly emasculated since il came
from the hands of the committee, but
Grover will never get . chance to sign it
even in It's present dibilitated condition.
The bill will never become a law.

pronounced the whole trip wild goose
