For the past two months the people
have been agitated over very spirited
political contest, and did not pay
suneh attention to any other matters.
The election is over, and we can ALLOW
politics to remain q1iet for awhile ano
look after cur own local affairs. The
water bonds have Le. u taken, and l.
is time the council and water com-
missioners were coming to some de
eisioa regarding new water supply
For years the people of Dalles Gil,
have been furnished the worst quality
of liquid as a beaverage, danger
ous to the health Of both old anG
young, and they have urgently de-
manjed to have new system. Oui
authorities cannot begin in this matte,
too sosa, and plan should be adapted
aziA work begun as soon as possible.
There is no occasion for delay, as the
necessities are Of the most pressing
nature.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
The election is over, and the result

The election is over, and the result
can be conjectured, if not definitely
known. In tie state there has been
a sweeping Republican victory, with
the single exception of the candidate
for governor, whose election is still in
doubt. On the county ticket, the
Republicans have no doubt secured
their candidates, with the possible ex-
ception of Gourlay and Cartwright.
As matter of course, the victory
would lie more complete if the election
of Hon. ID. z Thompson and the full
county ticket were assured; hut Re-
publicans should not expect crushing
dafeat for their opponents every second
year. In the variableness of the
human mind changes will happen, and
off-years in politics occur as frequent
ly as bad years in business. There is
no question that Oregon is largely
Republican, and that the defeat OF
Mr.. Thompson-if such Is fact
could have been averted by harmony
in the party ranks For many years
the politics of Oregon have been die
tated by Portland rings, and the Re-
publican party has been under the
personal 6ictation of Mr.. Joseph
Simon. At the last primary held i'll
that city there was well-organized
revolt and Mr.. Simon and his friends
were defeated. Taking their defeat
to heart these ring Republicans de
termlned to defeat the candidate from
Portland, who may have been instru-
mental in the overthrow of their boss.
1t may be that they have succeeded;
if so, there will be day of retribu-
ton fer these malcontents. There is
always future for those who attempt
to "rule or ruin" in their own party.
Another cause is apparent for the de-
feat of Mr.. Thompson, and that is the
manner in which the members of the
Union party rallied around the stand
ard of Pennoyer, which almost leads one
to believe it was brought into existence
for the purpose of aiding the Democ-
racy. Undoubtedly it was hatched and
brought into existence by that party.
1t is pleasant to view the field of
battle after substantial victory, and
this is the case to-day. The Repub-
licans have elected nearly all the state
ticket by a handsome majority, and
have only lost the governor through
the treachery of their own partisans.
We can say, with the poetical descrip-
tion of Mark Antony's suicide when
he fell upon his own sword, that it
was no foeman's steel that killed us,
it was our own that struck the
blow. In 1892 we shall enter
the contest with renewed courage,
and before we square our ranks
for battle we shall be very ea1-
tious that no secret traitor hides |
behind, waiting for the oppor-
tune moment to strike a fatal blow,
and victory, in more complete manner
than this year, will be ours. The cam
paign is over, the contest is ended, and
with the kindest feelings towards our
defeated opponents we extend to them
our hands in sympathy. They may
he honest in being Democrats; but we
nevertheless feel sorry that they are
not all Republicans.

Crook county and Klickitat county

Dalles for an outlet by means of a
railroad, and if the transportation
company will place boats on the river

factor of development. and with the
expenditure of few thousand dollars
it can be made 80. When the
Columbia river is freed from OBJ
structions, producers can send their
grain to seaboard without break
ing bulk, and this city can de-
mand the same special rates as any
ocean competitive point. As soon as
this is accomplished railroads to
Goldendale and to Prineville will peces
sarily follow. and manufacturing indus

to completion, this will be the disrribut

than any town in Oregon, except
Portland. The possibilities of the
future are almost unlimited, and our
business men have only to take advan-
tage of opportunities within reach to
reap golden harvest.

perhaps it would be more near to the
truth to say of 999 out of every l00C
men who call themselves Republicans
should make itself heard in favor oi
a speedy settlement Of the tariff issue
upon the line indicated by the McKin
ley bill. There is but one newspaper
in the United States which makes q
profession of Republicanism while
opposing the bill as whole. There is
not single representative in congress,
elected as Republican, who is op-
posed to the bill as a whole. The one
Republican who voted against its
passage in the house was careful to
announce that he so voted as pro-
test against its reduction of sugar
duties. With its generalities he was
pleased enough. There is no consider
able number of Republicans in good
standing to whom the bill Is not ae-
ceptable as whole.
Nor can any tariff bill be devised
by the wisdom of any man or by the
collective wisdom of any body of men
Which in every one of its details will
be acceptable to every one of the mem
bers of any great party. Meas
ures dealing with subjects so numerous
and interests go varied as those
affected by tariff legislation must be
accepted in o spirit of compromise.

house to the senate is acceptable to
