AMERICAN ADvENTURERs AND KING
CHARLES.

His Majesty Charles the First, king
OF Wurtemberg, has fallen into the
hands Of o pair OF American adven-
turers--as will be seen elsewhere--who
are working him for all there is in it.
The monarch, who is not much to
brag about when we'll, is in feeble
health. and passes most Of his time in
the company OF this pair Of worthless,
travelling from place TO place in foreign
lands. His subjects not only object
to this want Of appreciation of them
and his native land, but are also indig-
nant that he bestows all his royal
favors and society upon foreigners !;
worthless fellows at that.
The hold acquired by these strangers
upon his majesty's affections and
time has been secured by working the
spiritualism racket, the king having
only to express desire to converse
with some one in "the vastly deep"
when DIR. Woodcock, or his confrere,
Mr.. Hendrey-one from Stubenville,
Ohio, and the other from some obscure
Pennsylvania village-proceed to graf
ify q laudable curiosity, with the
assistance, OF course, of the time
honored old table leg.
The whole of Europe is gossiping
about the royal imbecile and the two
Americans, and wondering what will
turn up next.
In this country we put such cattle
as Woodcock and Hendrey In the pen
itentiary.

LEE AND MCCLELLAN.

General Lord Wolseley of the British
army has undertaken the herculean
task of establishing the proposition
that the Union generals-Grant, Sher-
man, Thomas and Sheridan--were,
after all, poor soldiers when compared
TO Lee, Jackson and Johnston of the
confederate army. No one in this
country begrudges the confederate
officers any reputation for ability and
good generalship acquired in the late
war between the states, nor, in order
to establish their claim to those
soldierly qualities, is it necessary for
even an English general to belittle the
military records of their adversaries.
General Lord Wolseley contributes an
article TO the Fortnightly Review,
which we reproduce Elsewhere, wherein
he discusses the seven days fight
around Richmond, and draws a COM
parison between Lee and Mcclellan.
Admirers of Mcclellan will not be dis
posed to accept the English generals
views as correct.

THE dimensions Of the trial before
the Parnell commission in London
may be estimated from the fact that
no less than 140O Witnesses have been
subp9naed by the Times alone to sus-
tain its side of the case. Not less than
six months time will probably be con-
sumed by the examination of these
witnesses, 80 that it is good guess
that the trial OF tho case will consume
the greater part OF year, the cost to
Mr.. Parnell being estimated at not less
than 100000.

WHAT THE VICTORY MEANS.

The election OF General Harrison
has many meanings, but there are two
that over-shadow and, to greater or
less degoe, include the others. 1t
means-first and foremost-that the
American people have awakened to a
realizing sense of the duty that nation
atty imposes, and determined for all
future time to maintain, by legislation,
policy that is essential to our busi-
ness in time of peace and defense in
time of war; policy necessary to
complete our destiny as free repub-
lie; policy that says to the outside
world, "these United States have with.
in their borders every variety of soil,
Of climate and of products, and the
good sense, capacity and patriotism
necessary 20 convert to their own use
these splendid gifts Of nature and ma.
ture's God;" policy that proclaims a
new birth of freedom, and establishes,
beyond question, our supremacy over
all the other nations OF the earth; a
policy-in q word-that serves notice
ON mankind that we, who are to-day,
the best fed, the best clad and the best
sheltered people in the world, are de-
termined never-by any act of our
own--to relinquish that proud, happy
and commanding position, never by
any act of our own to degrade our
selves in the face of nations.

THE PROHIBITION VOTE.

The consistent and earnest temper
ance people have administered a
wholesome rebuke to the rentanker-
ous third party agitators who have all
along been more bent on smashing the
republican party than in bringing
about prohibition.
The hypocritioal assertion-repeated
over and over again during the cam
psign-that the republican party is
frse-whisky party duped nobody except
those anxious to be duped, the ma
jority OF those who voted four years
age for st. John declining longer to be
used to pull from the fire chestnuts for
the free traders and the ex-confeder-
ates. The smallness of the vote for
General Fisk, every where, is sore
disappointment TO the democrats, who
were preparing again to laugh in their
sleeves at their dupes while they con-
tinued to feed them on honeyed words
and empty promises. At the close of
the w. G. 7. U. convention in New
York resolution declaring that the
Union should hereafter be non-sec-
tartan and non-partisan was defeated
by the third party influence. This
absurd result, obtained for the pur-
pose of converting the Union into a
body of politicians, shocked the moral
sense Of the country and opened the
eyes of honest temperance people
everywhere to the fact that the prohi.
bition leaders had ceased TO be prohi.
bitionists and become assistant DEM
Ocrate.

The marriage of Mile. Marcelle
Boulanger, daughter of General Bou-
LANCER, to Captain Driant of the
French forces, was made the occasion
of great street demonstration in
Paris, although elaborate preparations
were taken by the city government to
prevent it. The general. who under
stands thoroughly the character of his
countrymen, and especially that por-
ton that resides in Paris, showed
himself equal 10 the occasion by riding
to the Marie of the Sixteenth Arron-
dissement-where the civil ceremony
was performed-in an open carriage,
drawn by two splendid black horses,
in harness decorated with red cock
ades, and driven by two coachmen
wearing cockades of the same signifi-
cant color in their hats. Cries of
"Vive Boulanger' were heard every.
where; and in spite of the governor Of
the city and his cordons Of police the
greatest enthusiasm was manifested.
Boulauger represents the anti
German element-the war element
Of France, and his following is much
stronger in the provinces than at the
capital, where the strong army of the
government is constantly employed to
suppress revolutionary sentiment.
Some fine morning Paris will wake
and find itself at the mercy of this
general, who evidently understands
the power of parade and pomp over
the French people.

There was nothing in the campaign

similar kind in other countries. 1t

SOMETIMES there seems to be a craze
for self-murder. "A perfect epidemic
OF suicides has broken out in Paris. At
least ten attempts at self-murder are
reported every day. Last week four
women jumped out of windows, two
killing themselvs, and Sunday four
more suicides are reported. In the Rue
st. Claude book binders wife jumped
out OF the window Of her apartments
in the third story and was dashed to
pieces on the pavement. A timer,
named Henry, residing in the Rue
Menilmontant, during fit of alcohol
ism, put revolver to his mouth, fired
twice and blew his head to pieces.

NATIONAL wealth is the root of ma
tional superiority, and among all the
historic nations of continental Europe
no poverty-stricken people have ever
made themselves respectable among
mankind, or maintained prominent
position as first-class power of the
earth. The democratic theory of free
trade is antsgonistic to national thrift
because it discourages native industry,
teaches the people that it is better to
buy than to make, encourages import
alton rather than expectation, and
vastly increases the figures ON the
debt side of the national ledger. The
low tariff under John Tyler's admin.
istration impoverished the nation and
run it in debt. The Same state Of
things occurred under Fillmore, and
the financial condition Of the country
was still worse under Buchanan.
When the free-trade South seeded in
1861 low tariff had psralyzcd all do.
mestic industries and bankrupted the
national treasury. In the late civil
war in this country-th most expen-
sive war Of which history makes
record-the North was victorious
chiefly for the reason-not that the
Union soldiers we're brsver men or
better fighters than their confederate
enemies, but because they had greater
resources, better credit abroad, more
money, better preparation to stand the
destruction that war inflicts on all
branches OF business, superior facili-

CAR 3I33.
The Body of . Tramp Found Buried I'm
der Timber.


About 8 O'Clock this morning while some
men were engaged in unloadinRs car Of
lumber belonging to the Oregon Railway h
Navigation Company near McCalley's
mill, the body of u tramp was found in the
car lying under q lot Of boards that had
become misplaced, and nearly two hundred
pieces had fallen on him while he was
sleeping.
The coroner was Immediately notified,
and on his arrival had the balance of the
lumber that was lying on the body re-
moved. Mr.. Picard was sent for, and in
short time arrived with box, and the
body was placed In it and taken TO the un.
dertaker's. where the inquest will be held
this afternoon.
The man was dressed in O dark coat
check shirt and dark trousers, he also wore
a pair of overalls. For pillow he used
blue and white checked jumper and we'll
old pair of shoes In addition to q pair of
new ones which he had worn at the tiQa,,
OF entering the car. As near as could =
Judged the man was about 40 years old
he had dark hair and moustache and had
short, dark beard on his chin. The man
had been lying on his back with his head
resting on one arm. He had removed his
shoes and covered himself with his blan.
kets, unconscious of his impending fate.
When the body was removed from the car
by undertaken Picard the face presented q
horrible sight-swollen out of shape and
was mnch discolored. Blood had been
running from his nose and mouth. and the
coat that had been used as pillow was
well saturated with it.
The car arrived here yesterday unsealed
the way-biil on the outside shows that
it was ready to leave Portland Oct. 26,
but whether 1t left that day or the next is
unknown here.-Walla Walla Statesman.
