proposition has found favor with some
members of congress to include Canada
among the countries with which reciprocity
is to be established. Ii such be the case.
it is most likely device to strike blow at
Mr.. Blaine's policy under a pretense OF
favoring il. Such an arrangement would
be travesty of the Blaine policy, which he
has repeatedly and distinctly explained as
aiming only at such reciprocal relations as
will be of clear advantage to some and an
injury to none of our own people.
TO put the matter in a nutshell, recipro-
city with Canada would directly rob the
Northwest. and especially Washington, of
the greater part of the benefit derived from
the protective system. In marketing the
leading productions of this state. especially
lumber, coal, brick and building stone,
British Columbia is our principal COM
petiror and rival. Labor in its rougher
forms is so much cheaper on that than on
this side of the line that with these products
admitted free OF duty manufacturers and
miners would be driven out of their own
market or forced down to starvation prices.
Beyond doubt they would be forced into
ruinous competition for the California and
southern trade, and the fine market that is
being built up in Chicago and other east
ern points would be closed against them.
To the state of Washington there would
be little ii any differences between reci-
procity with Canada and absolute free trade.
This state protests against the idea

graciously bestowed by the friendly nation to
its w.born child away out here within hear
irg OF the roar of the British lion. the growl of
the Russian bear, the clsshing of the glaciers
end the whisperings of the pacific sea that
stretches away TO Cains and Japan, are due
solely to his extraordinary ability and hercu-
lean efforts. He has apparently taken it for
granted that the people have sense enough to
know that the nation would have at least
granted swsddling clothes to cover the form of
this newborn child, even If ii had not cried for
them. He seems to have taken 1t for granted
that the people are also aware of the fact that
there Others a. the national capital in the in.
terest of Washington, and that he is not entitled
to credit for securing all the benefits that Wash.
ington has received He has. therefore, appar-
emily entertained too much respect for the in.
telligenee of the people TO set I'D any such
claim. But whether pc pie wish to retain SEN

GOOD COUNTY ROADS.

Movem ents are reported in many por-
tons OF the state having in view the bond
ing OF certain counties within reasonable
limits for the construction of good county
roads. This, OF course, is a matter about
which the people of the counties concerned
are the best judges, but it is nevertheless
subject in which, like the construction of
railroads and the improvement of naviga-
ton in any quarter, the people of the
whole state may be excused for feeling a
lively interest.
For that matter, it is only in degree that
the construction of railroads and the i'm
provement OF navigation concern the gen.
eral public more than the opening up of
good county roads to facilitate the market
ing of products and the consequent Open
ing up of greater areas to profitable cultiva.
ton. Wherever it can be done without
too heavy an involvement in debt, money
spent IN the construction of good roads is
one of the very best of investments and
the soundest kind of economy.

Republican votes or less. No action has
been taken by the Speaker which could
not have been reversed by the same num-
Der of Republicans. He has been power
less to do or undo without the united sup
port of the majority in the House.
1t is manifest perversion of language 70
claim that there is anything Czarlike, des-
potic or improper in all this. 1t was the
right OF the majority TO legislate: 1t was
their duty TO do so: they had the power;
they had the will. They adopted rules
conforming to this right. duty, power and
will, and fortunately they had elected a
Speaker who had the courage and the
nerve TO enforce those rules in the face and
in defiance of such difficulties and abuse as
few men have been called upon to confront
since this government was founded.

The Springfield, Mass, Republican, a
leading mugwump organ, devoted an edi-
torial to the Arkansas election just on the
eve of that event. I'm no other state"
says the Republican, "has the solid South
had such shaking up as in Arkansas,
and nowhere else, not even in South Caro-
lima, is 1t SO likely to be broken" Atten-
ton was called to the fact that while
Fizer had received the Union Labor nomi-
nation, and was endorsed by the Repub-
icans, and had associated with him on
the ticket several negro nominees. he had
expressed his opposition TO the federal
elections bill, and with the independent
support he might expect from being
Methodist minister, while his opponent
held the same relation to the Baptists. il
was considered that he had some chance
of election.
"If he WINS" said the Republican. sit
will be because the tendency observable
in every Southern state, to divide on To-
cal issues, has proved stronger in
Arkansas than the seeming necessity for
an unbroken front of the white voters.n
This same view was taken by many other
Eastern papers. But the Arkansas elec-
ton has passed, and the absurdity of this
view has been demonstrated. The Demo-
Gratis have carried the state by eight or
ten thousand increased majority.
IL teaches the same lesson that has
been taught in Iowa, Kansas and some
other states. The Republican party is
strongest when it stands alone and makes
square fight for Republican principles
and nothing else. Unlike its chief oppon-
ent. it is weakened by entangling alliances
of any kind. The reasons are not hard to
find. Its members are Republicans
because OF an intelligent and liked belief
in certain line of national policy. When
these are ignored or obscured their interest
in the party ceases or is weakened,
On all OF the distinctive political issues
their Arkansas candidate was lust as
much OF a Democrat as was his opponent.
All the use he had Cor the Republicans was
10 get their votes. The rank ana file had
sense enough to see this, and enough of
independence to act accordingly. The
labor question being made prominent, the
Republicans who were opposed to
that movement voted for EAGLE.
The church question being made
an issue. Republican Baptists TO a
large extent voted for Eagle. And SO
on all the side issues which entered into
the conglomerate platform.
But on the other side there was no such
tiummery. The Democrats, whether Metho-
dists or Baptists. Alliance men or labor
men. for prohibition or high license.
almost to a man stuck 10 their ticket A
few more such experiences ought to open
the eyes of Republican managers. For
veal or for woe the Republican party must
stand alone and fight for principle. BY no
other means can it hold its own forces
intact BY any other course it is liable TO
disgust and estrange more men from its
own ranks than it can hope to gain from
the opposition. To the credit OF its men,
bers be it said. if the Republican party
cannot win in a square contest for nothing
but Republican principles it canhot win
at all

Congressman Wilson.


The endeavor of some Spokane county Re-
publicans to give Judge Turner precedence over
John L. Wilson for congressional nominee has
had the effect OF calling forth an expression of
sentiment from the press OF the state This is
OF nature calculated to be gratifying to the
friends of Mr.. Wilson. and If the press reflects
the opinion of the people at large that gentle
mans reelection is assured. And why should
not Mr.. Wilson be reelected? The record
which he has made for himsel: while in congress
is exceptionally fine. The experience which he
has gained while making this record will great
ly advantage him in the future. In this respect
he is possessed of one point of superiority over
Judge Turner. We do not wish 10 be continual.

Oregon a Great State for Fossils.
The Astorian

During the past few days William Doll,
paleontologist and conchologist, of the SIN tn
sonian institute. at Washin gton, has been pros
pecting in this city. and Monday evening he left
for Portland with grip-sack containing some
very fine fossils. DR.. Doll is an expert in this
line and in an interview with re porter ex-
pressed himself as much pleased with the re-
suits of his visit here. The doctor visited As
toria ten years ago. He notes many changes in
the pace. At that time he secured some rare
specimens OF shells over in the Young's river
section. and also along the Lewis and Clarke.
These now occupy place in the institute to-
gether with some fossils secured as early as 1885,
when the geological surveying party was going
through this section, While here the doctor
spent most of his time along Youne's river,
and az stated, secured some valuable ssis,
and also some shells. DR.. Doll will remain in
Portland several DAYS, aud will visit Professor
Condor, OF the University of Oregon, at
Eugene. From Portland he will visit the pria-
cipsl cities on the Sound in search OF Indian
relics, fossils etc, and viii return East over the
Northern Pacific.
