Politics iH the -Four NesU States.

The elections IN the new
states with their overwhelm-
ing republican majorities bear
out the predictions we pub
lished at the close of the last
presidential campaign concern
ing the future of the demo-
cratic party. The democratic
majority in the last congress
never committed a more fool
ish and suicidal act than when
they deliberately divided Da-
kota ard thus created two
sure-enough republican states
where one is too many. No
wonder the democrats in the
new states sulked in their
tents and let the election go
by default, when they are han
dicapped by such imbecility
as marked the last democratic
congress in admitting the four
new republican states, with
their eight republican senator's,
six republican representatives,
and fourteen republican votes
in the electoral college. The
democratic party was always
said to do its best fighting like
a 'possum-on the fiat of its
back, and the indications are
that it will continue the mi
nority party in national poll
tics for some years to come.
Tariff reform is the only issue
on which they can hope to
win, and it would not surprise
us in the least if the republi-
cans took the wind out Of the
democratic sails on that issue,
by passing during the next
congress much more radical
''free trade measure than the
Mills bill ever was. Ofcourse
they would have to eat crow
but their stomach is strong
enough for a little thing like
that, and the people will be so
thankful for u reduction OF
tariff taxation that they will
not stop to enquire the reason
for such a sudden change of
policy. We suggest the fore
going idea to the leaders of the
republican party as a piece of
practical politics which is
we'll worthy of their prayerful
consideration.

The Day Begins to Break.

Every visit we make to the lower
country convinces US more and more
strongly that when the maker and
builder OF the universe created this
earth he put in his best ticks when he
reached Camas prairie. When the
stroke of his hand formed the beaut.-
full mountains and plains which make
up our landscape and placed the spark

places. he must have had nothing in

who were 10 make it their abiding place.

richness and fertility of its soil ID il un.

every kind, year in and year out, in
drouth or in rainy seasons it is not ex-
celled by any part of the Pacific north
west. Even 10 an exceptionally drouthy
season like this has been our country

have seen in a month of travel and oh.
servation, aud if our people only knew
1t they are in far better aud easier cir
cumstancss than the people of any 9TH

Gus season. We always return from
these trips abroad more and more s:,tis-
fed with Camas prairie, and this time
we are quite satisfied that this is the
garden spot of the north " est, and when
We observe the bsrrsu and God-torsak-
