The power of the press is

The power of the press is fully ex-
empli6ed in the reform which the
dispatches state is being inaugurated
in Russia. The barbarcus system of
sending criminals 5000 miles to Sibe.
ria has been abolished, and this black
spot of tyranny of the Gear will not
put to the blush modern civilization any
longer. MIR. Smau, widely known in
Russia by bis writings on Siberia, says
the principal reason for the reform is
the articles of George Kennan in the
Century. Thus, it will be seen, that
Mr.. Kennan by his pen has accom-
plished what the combined civilized
world, with millions of soldiers al
command, was afraid to undertake.

Washington has been advertised
through the east for many years, and
of late she has been reaping the benefit
of this. We rarely pick up a paper
but that our neighbor is lauded to the
skies and Oregon scarcely mentioned.
The reason of this is very apparent.
The great trans-continental line, the
Northern Pacific, has always displayed
the best railroad sense of any line in
the northwest. 1t thoroughly under
stands the fact that every settler who
makes a home near the line of the
road is feeder to it, and on this &C
count it desires as many immigrants
as Iossible in Washington. Through
its efforts the new state has rapidly
increased in population, and her diff
ferent resources have heen developed
Ly eastern capital. If Oregon had
been treated in the same manner, she
would have double the population she
now has, and her only hope for the
future is in having trans-continental
line built through to the ocean.

Our neishLcr, the Sam, is correct in
his deductions that Portland has op-
posed almost every scheme for opening
the Columbia river for a number of
years past; but we do not fully endorse
Bro. Cradlebaush's views when he
says that it was at the behest of Port
land that the Lill for a portage rail-
road at the Locks was voted down in
the last legislature. Among those
who voted against this measure were
senators from Eastern Oregon, among
whom was one from Umatilla county,
another from Grant, and if we are not
mistaken the delegation from Union
and Baker. We were surprised at
the time to see these senators arrayed
against this important improvement.
We must remember our friends and
not forget our enemies, and class with
those of Multonomah county, who
v,tt d againss the bill, the names of
the members from Eestern Oregon
who voted the same way.

The Democrats in Oregon are anus
ing themselves nominating ticket for
next June. The Portland Vorld has
placed in nomination w. HI. Biggs for
congress and Gov. Pennoyer to succeed
himself, and now comes the Roseburg
Revieso and places the names of Veatch
and Pennoyer for congress and gov
ernor before the people. This is no
doubt very amusing to the members Of
the Democratic party, and we would
advise our brethern of the Bourbon
persuasion to keep on nominating. as
this is the very best thing they can do
under the circumstances. They will
never elect any one of their candidates.

As an illustration OF the enterprise
of the citizens of Spokane Falls, $780,
900 was contributed by members of the
congregation during last Sunday morn
ing service, and in the evening $27 $50,
making total of $77,650. This was
good Sundays work for the endow-

city; but when the committee ap-
pointed by the board of trade of this

for the poor, seedless farmers, this

will be a denoninational school; fur

I'm q Close Place.

According to the Spokane Falls Re
view, young Russell, who killed Canty al
Pennington short time ago, is in tight
place. On his preliminary examination
at Colfax about 100 citizens went oveI
from the vicinity of Pennington to see
that he was not admitted to bail. A
number of them took Henry Sullivan, one
of his attorneys, aside, and told hun that
he had better let Russell stay in Jail. Mr..
Sullivan informed them that he would
allow the justice to fix the bail high
enough to hold him-$3000 or $4,000.
One of the leaders then SAID: ut don't
make any difference If the bail is fixed
at half a million, aDd just as sure as he
is admitted to bail In any sum we will
riddle him with bullets in the court
room" The scene in the courtroom
durlng the preliminary hearing was very
exciting. Pistols were noticed sticking
out Of pockets all over the house. In the
course of his remarks to the court Attor.
ney Sullivan made the statement that the
shooting was accidental. "Take that
backr' came the demand from twenty
throats. and Mr.. Sullivan did. RusselPs
father and brother, who were present fed
from rhe room, thinking the crisis had
arrived. Russell was, of course, committed
without bail, and after the Pennington
people had exacted from Sheriff Mclean
a Promise that he would not take the
prisoner to Walla Walla and that he
would let them know if the sheriff of that
county came after him, they returned
home satisfied.

The committee of the board of trade

to furnish our farmers with seed wheat

canvas Immediately, and expects to
have the wheat in this city as soon as
it is wanted. This work cannot be
done too quickly, for the rainy weather
we have had during the last few days
has placed the ground in excellent
condition for plowing, and those who
have not already prepared the soil
for fall sowing will do it Immediately.

1t must have been a sad and pitt
able sight to have seen Mrs. Harriet
Beecher-Stowe wandering demented
through the streets of Hartford, Conn.,,
as reported in the dispatches to-day.
Mrs. Stowe has won the highest liter
ary fame by her works, and is known
and eulogized all over the world.
"Uncle Toms Cabin" has been trans
lated in every language in Europe, and
this pathetic appeal to the hearts of
the American people did more than
armies and legislation to rid the
American republic of the terrible
cause of human slavery. The por-
trayal of character was so life-like
that the northern people were aroused
to the enormity of the evil, and che
thunders of pulpit and press impelled
the struggle, the result of which was
striking off the shackles from 8,000,-
900 human beings. The poor old
woman will soon 60 down into the
grave; but her genius and philan-
thropy will be admired through all
coming generations

The story going the rounds of the
press that Mrs. Parnell, the mother of
the great Irish agitator, is in needy
circumstances, is discredited in we'll
informed circles. Il is said that she
has frequently refused aid from her
son, and from Irish nationists. To
think that the generous Irish people,
who have been lavish IN the donation
of money for the Irish cause, would
neglect the mother of Chas. Stuart
Parnell and let her suffer for the COM
mon necessaries of life, is preposterous,
and would be contrary to the gener-
ally accepted idea of the Irish people.

Eastern Oregon has a right to ex-

Eastern Oregon has a right to ex-
pect some legislation directly benef-
cial to her interests at,the coming ses-
sion of congress. For years the
Northern Pacific has laid claim to a
belt of land from Wallula Junction to
Portland, and which was granted them
as lieu lands and according to the
terms of an old grant, the conditions
of which have never been complied
with. Since the completion of that
road to Puget Sound, it IS hardly
within the range Of probability tina,
it will build down the Columbia river.
At any rate the conditions of the
grant are such that the n P. COM
pany Is not entitled to foot Of land
in Eastern Oregon. For years the
home-seekers have looked anxiously
toward this unearned belt of rich al
luvial soil; and, though not able to
procure title, have, in some instances,
made homes, but have been fear
full to make many improvements. At
the last session Senator Dolph intro
duced a bill in the senate which
passed that body, providing for the
forfeiture of this grant from Wallula
to Portland When The bill came to
the house it was killed by an amend
ment, including in the forfeiture the
grant from Bismarck, Dakota, to
Puget Sound, for nearly all of which
the company had received its patent
from the government. Of course such
a measure was unjust and failed to
become law. There can be no ques-
tion that the N. P. grant in Oregon is
forfelsable, and the people have a
right to expect action in this regard
from the present congress. If the
status of this land were settled, the ac-
tual settlers upon it would be greatly
benefited, and it would be great in
ducement to immigration. We be-
lieve that come such bill as Senator
Dolph introduced last session would
pass both houses at this one, and our
representatives should see that there
is no delay in the matter.

To-day is the date of the new birth
for our neig ghbor. The old territorial
government has been thrown aside like
a worn-out garment, and the habili-
ments of statehood are donned.
Of course our fellow citizens across the
big river haye been happy, and they
enjoy now all the exurbance of child
hood. But Washington is a big,
healthful offspring, and enters politi-
cal life with the brightest promises and
most joyful anticipations for the fu-
ture. The last born in the family OF
states to the great western republic, is
not by any means the least, and older
members of the same progeny should
feel proud of mother and daughter.

The dispatches state that the late
blizzard in New Mexico killed thous-
ands of sheep. and this is one of the
ineoualities in the wool industry in
this country for which the protective
duty attempts to make amends.
South America and Australia have nc
such cold, freezing storms in Novem-

doctrine of protection taxes this cheap
wool in our markets, and thus give

Governor elect Campbell, of Ohio,
says the reason fhe Democracy was
successful was because it had no "k:ds
or mosstacks" in its ranks. Last year
the Repul licans in Oregon took under
its car. tie "little lambs" of the state
and carried the election by 10000
majority. Lambs carried the day in
Oregon in 1888; kids caused defeat in
Ohio in 1889. This is the difference
between goats and sheep.

The TIMES -MoUNTAINEER, one of
the ablest edited Republican journals
in the state, like all other true parti-
san papers, is seeking to offer excuses
for the defeat of the Republican party
last week. In its last issue it explain
ed as follows. LAS matter of course,
the prohibition vote was the disturb
ing element to the Republican party,
and tended largely to increase Demo-
cratic gains in precincts in Iowa and
Ohio" But this statement Is hardly
consistent with what it said in its
issue of August 3lst. Then it gave
vent to its feelings thusly: "Iowa
says she will give 10000 to 10000
majority for the Republican ticket
this fall. The plurality in 1885 was
only 1000; but then we have had a
few months OF Republican administra-
ton and protection, and that is great
incentive for the laboring men to vote
right" Probably it meant in saying
incentive for the laboring men to vote
right" thst they would be disgusted
with Republican administration and
protection, and vote in their interest
as they did on Tuesday of last week.
Ocloco RevieaD,
In our surmises of the situation we
calculated with only two unknown
neutrality-suspicious. and Demo
crats-in the political equation; but
when there are introduced into the
equation four or more unknown guam
tities-prohlbition, Sunday-law and
other fanaticisms- elimination be-
comes most difficult. But Ohio and
Iowa will be all right in 1892, for the
Republican party will scrape off all
these barnacles before it enters the
canvass.
