NO GUERRILLA WARFARE.

With all the criticism of Republican
methods and of the rule of politicians,
can mugwumps expect a purer state
of affairs in the ranks of the Democ-
racy2 If Mr.. Curtis and President
Eliot had attempted their reformation
inside the party lines would not their
work been more effectual than by join
ing the forces of the enemy? Every in
telligent reader for the past quarter of
century knows that the editor of
Harpers Weekly has no affection for
the Democratic party, with its
record on the union of the states, the
finances of the nation, and rowdyism
and kukluxism in the south. The
past history of the party has been
damnable In the extreme, and if it
had rot been for Republicans the
country would have been bankrupted
and worse terrorism than now reigns
would have been prevalent in the
south. There are many other Repub-
licans, beside Senators Edmunds and
Hoar who are still of the "old party;"
but these believe their efforts will be
more efectual for reformation inside
the party lines than in the ranks of
the enemy. There has never been an
instance where the caucus rule has
been invoked or the machine erected
but that the candidates of the sold
party" have met with crushing defeat.
The rank and file are men who cogi-
tate, and who act according to the
dictates of their honest judgment.
Perhaps no man is entitled to more
respect than the old Roman, Hon.
Geo. F. Edmuuds, against whom dur.
ing his long senatorial career there is
not shadow of an accusation of dis
honesty. He owes no allegiance to no
power except God and his conscience,
and yet he is as loyal to the party as
he could be. His innate honesty of
purpose dictates unequivocally that he
can accomplish more good as an ad-
herent Of the grand Republican prin-
ciples than by following a guerrilla
warfare under the command of the
mugwumps. The nation has been
saved, the credit established, slavery
abolished, manufacturing industries
created by Republican legislation; but
the mission of the old party will not
be accomplished until every citizens of
the republic of whatever race or color
can exercise the elective franchise as
freely and fully in Mississippi and
Louisiana as be can in Ohio or Massa-
chusetts. We detest machine rule,
bossism and the caucus as much as any
mugwump, and are as willing to oppose
them when emergencies arise; but do
not belieye in seeking redress from
these evils 10y attaching ourselves to
the parent trunk which originated and
produced these poisonous branches.

We have noticed correspondents in

w nave uOtlCtu COTIcS cSpOuuCillo III
the daily papers of Washington, writ
ing from The Dalles, merely mention
the desirable location and natural
beauty of the city, without the least
reference to the rich resources of
the vicinity. Whether this is caused
by prejudice against towns in Ore
gon of great natural facilities or be-
cause we take no trouble to introduce
and show visitors our wealth OF soil
and commercial and manufacturing
capabilities, we know not. But what
ever may be the cause the fact is ap-
parent that strangers do not speak OF
US in equally encouraging terms as
other points less favorabiy situated.
AS far as in our power this should be
rcmedicd. Every visitor who is LA
ble to give his views publicity should
be shown around the city, taken to
our fruit farms and vineyards, and an
effort made to exhibit to him The
products of this region. By such
means attention of foreign capitalists
will be attracted in this direction, and
it will only be few years before we
shall experience an era of Development
which will be simply phenomenal.

'The Republican policy of war tariff
is breaking down" exultingly exclaims
a Democratic cotemporary. If the
vote cast for President Harrison last
year in Oregon was any indication of
"break" it was in the ranks of the
free-traders, and not in those of the
protectionists. While Americans have
patriotism they will believe in sup
porting home industries in preference
to foreign ones.

Gibbs, the murderer, is still at large.
although every executive officer in the
northwest has hunted high or low for
him. 1t may appear strange that a
man could commit such crime and
escape, but this is large country, and
one can very efectually hide himself
and even elude the most careful search.
1t is to be hoped that Gibbs will be
caught and will suffer the punishment
his crime merits.

BUSINESS PROSPERITY.

The business men of the United
States have rarely enjoyed more
prosperous fall season in all branches
of trade than the present, and there is
general satisfaction expressed in the
situation. The day-laborer, the me-
chanic, the merchant, the manufacturer,
the miner, the agriculturalist and the
capitalist all have reason to feel graft
fed with their present condition and
immediate prospects. Notwithstand-
ing the failure of crops in some por-
tions of the country, the produce of
the farmer has received very fair re-
numeration, and almost without ex-
ception labor has been employed in
various departments and has received
more than average compensation. The
ordinary autumhal distribution of
steple merchandise is being conducted
on very liberal scale at the leading
markets, but sales to special localities
are not larger than at the like season
of former years. The excessive rail-
road construction of tie past decade
has opened up large portions of coun-
try, and these are now pouring their
wealth of productions into the markets
of the world. Under this general
stimulus trade has broadened and
developed in the most wholesome way.
Vast tracts of land have been opened
for settlement in the west and south
west, and while these have furnished
homes for our industrious population
they have also added to the general
business of the country. The particu-
lar "booming" element has suffered
defeat, and immigration Of perma-
nent and conservative kind has re-
ceived extra encouragement. During
the past year thriving towns have been
built, and lands hitherto worthless
have been made the means Of support
ing large population. Every depart
ment Of legitimate business gives
evidence of the enlivining influence
of this growth in the producing classes
of the United States, and the future
is bright and promising. With a
sound financial policy by the present
administration we may expect next
year to be better than the present, and
new avenues of industry will be opened
in different portions. The west and
northwest will be further developed in
their varied natural resources, and
the center of population will gradu-
ally move towards the sundown seas.

ing to "boom" Gov. Pennoyer for re-
election. This will accomplish moth
ing, as the people are not deslrous Of
elevating to the executive a man

The dispatches to-day contain an
account of horrible sufferings by the
survivors of the steamship Ermmoor,
and relates how they were reduced to
the verge of starvation, in which con-
dition they ate each other. The mind
is dependent upon the body, and such
acts are the result of insanity pro-
duced by the want of food. They are
most abhorrent to a man in his right
mind, and will not be committed until
reason becomes dethroned.

The reason that Gov. Pennoyer's S
hobby of a standard gauge railroad
between this city and Cello has met
with so much opposion IS that it will
delay the commencement. of the work
indefinitely. The board of engineers
has been fauorably impressed with a
boat-railway, survey has been made,
and just when we are expecting lib
eral appropriation for beginning
the work another scheme is proposed
by the governor of Oregon.

BRITISH BRAVERY.

From New Mexico comes the de-
tails of most brutal duel, and one in
which savage bravery was exhibited
to its fullest extent. An Indian and
a Mexican agreed to have one finger
cut off at a time, and the one who
evinced signs of pain was to be stabbed
to the heart. The battle continued un-
til each lost four fingers Of his hand
without murmur, and the Indian was
reaching for the left hand of the Mex
ican to continue his diabolical opera
tion when he was shot to the heart by
the latter's second. We are glad that
this happened among descendants of
foreign races and not of the ruling
one of this country, for, how
ever such an exhibition of "nerve"
may be applauded it is Indicative of a
low state of civilization. Amy one
possessed of refined feelings do not
wish others to suffer or courts it him
self. Such brutes, who cut and slash
each other for the sake of foolish
bravado are not the best soldiers
when forts are to be taken or charges
repulsed. In time of battle an intelli-
gent man who realizes the danger and
faces it for the sake of duty is worth
half dozen cruel savages who simply
join the army for booty and to crafty
cruel passions. Lord Lytton in
"Deveraux," mentions case at the
court of Peter the Great, where Lyt
ton introduces his hero. Two
Russians are subjected to the
punishment Of the knout. One
howled bitterly while the other took
the stripes with stolid Indifference.
The great Russian monarch asked
Devereaux which was the braver, and
he was answered the one who took his
punishment silently. No, said Peter,
he is the nearer the animal and does
not realize the disgrace he suffers; but
the other will make the braver soldier,
The training Of the Sparians, with the
weapons in use at that era of the
worlds history, when physical orowess
was nearly always victorious, may have
been the secret of their valor bnt
in this age of mitrailleuse
and repeating rifles physical
strength counts little in mill
tary conflicts. AS civilization ad-
vances, the brutal passions decreases
or are more subservient to the higher
feelings and a greater sympathy is
felt for human woes and human suf-
ferings, and less delight is taken
in exhibitions of savage bravery. The
untutored Indian may bear pain with
less expression of feeling than the cul-
tivated Anglo Saxon; but the princi-
pal reason for this is that his finer
sensibilities lack development, and his
instincts are more nearly on level
with those of the animal.

The Fruit Trade JotlfaaL thinks that
the time may come when fruits NAV be
preserved the year round by means ol
cold storage. At the present time in
New York City at any season of the
year there are'many millions of dollars

there is estimated to be at all times
from 100000 to $4,000 worth of
property, in which, however, is included
all conceivable sorts of expensive eata.

As for poultry, there is no telling
how long it can be kept in prime eatip9
condition. The hardest things to keen
are watermelons, strawberries-in fact

are seldom called upon to hold these
things more than a day or two at a

River Travel

A matter of observation that has
come to those who have had an opnor-
tunity to watch the tide of travel of the
season that is now drawing to a close
has been the direction it has taken in
the way of the water as we'll as the
land. There have been more peonIe
VINO have reached this town bv the
river route this year than ever before
There have been as high as from thirty
to forty people leave this town on a
single day by long stage coach ride
10 take the steamboat This arose from
the fact of the cheapness as well as the
pleasure of a refreshing ride on the
water. Here is suggestion, and a bic
one, to the Philadelphia and SMYRNA
transportation Company: The steamer
Ella that took the place of the John E.
,Iygert is not in any sense a passenger
boat, and was put on only as a make
shlft to tide over the season, We know
not what the company is doing. it NAV
DC now for all we know putting its
plans in execution to provide suitable
craft to I'LL the place of the Tygert. but
II II IS not, the suggestions of the season
should be sufficient of themselves to
bring prompt action.

Literary Notes

From an "Open Letter" on "The
Centenary of Fenimore Cooper" in the
September Century, we quote the fol.
lowing: Time is unerring in its seIec.
tion. Cooper has now been dead
nearly two-score years. What sur.
wives OF his work are Sea Tales and
the Misunderstanding Tales From
these l have found myself forced to
cite character and episodes. These are
the stories which hold their own in
the libraries. Public and critics are as
one here. The wind of the lakes and
the prairies has not lost its balsam and
the salt OF the sea keeps its SAVIOR,
For the free movement of his figures
and for the proper expansion Of his
story Cooper needed a broad region
and a widening vista. He exceiled
IN conveying the suggestion of vast
ness and limitless space and Of depict-
ing the human beings proper TO these
great reaches Of land and Water-the
two elements he ruled; and he was
equally at home on the rolling waves
OF the prairie and on the green and
irregular hillocks of the ocean.
