EDITORIAL NOTES.

Baron Lilienthal, an Isroelite, has
bequeathed to the pope So, 400, 900.
One can believe in the millennium when
Jew lavishes his wealth upon the
chief prelate of the Catholic church.
Ii you treat Ia grippe right, and not
worry yourself 10y groundless fears,
you are all right. But if you fret
and fume, become discouraged, very
likely you will be it's victim.
Queen Victoria owns q block in
New York city, and now talks of bay
ing real estate in California. There
are splendid opportunities in Oregon,
and the la grippe is in very uild
form.
La grippe is intruding on the prov
ince of the nlhilists in Russia and the
socialists in Germany. 1t can lay
monarchs very low and not be sub
jected to prescription, or exile to ST.
beris.
Mr.. D. Clifford, of Canyon City,
has been appointed judge to fill the
vacancy caused 10y the death of Hon.
L. b. Ison. Mr.. Clifford is fair law
yer, hut not at all brilliant. He may
make an excellent judge not withstand
ing.
Miss Caldwell says she fell in love
with Prince Murat OH first sight, al
though he is over 60 years of age.
They should marry and come to
Wasco county. The prince will die
soon and Mrs. Murat could grow up
with the country,
And now comes the people o. Flor
ida, and desire a dollar box protec-
tiou on their oranges. The south is
not unit in favor of free-trade, and
when the manufacturing industries
are developed, the people will be as
| strongly in favor of the American
policy as those of New England.
Col. Shepard, of the Hail and En-
press, is furious against the proposed
reform in the Presbyterian creed in
favor of future state of probation
He is so determined in his orthodox
views that he desires to create little
hell in this world for any one who dis
agrees with him.
Gov. Hill, of New York, is bach
elor; but unfortunately he is simply
an American citizen, and therefore
cannot receive q high price from
wealthy heiresses If he was Brit
ish lord or German count he might
have the wealth of a Huntington or
Miss Caldwell thrown at his feet to
induce him to marry.
The Pendleton Tribasxe is trying to
convince the Baker City Democrat
that it does not receive its news from
the Oregoniaas. 1t has labored hard
to substantiate its position, but so far
has completely failed. The neophyte
of the Tribune will soon learn that it
takes more than gall and braggadocio
to conduct paper in eastern Oregon.
Gov. Ferry, of Washington, recently
pardoned out Of the penitentiary Min
ME Allen, serving sentence of two
years for burglary, she being in deli
cate condition. The governors reason
was that he did not wish humaf, be
ing to be born into this world inside
prison walls, and the humane senti-
ment of the people will endorse his
action.
A Chicago and st. Louis paper are
discussing the right of revolution, and
are terribly worked up IN the matter.
Rebellion, in its incipiency, is detesta-
BILE in all its bearings; but when it be-
comes a revolution it is thoroughly
sanctifed, and everything is right and
proper which it advocates and carries
into operation. This is very much an
illustration of the difference between
tweedle-dee and tweedle-dum.
A lady in Michigan, with more SEN
timent than sense, writes to Chicago
that love letter by Jefferson Davla
written in 1884, be returned to his
widow, as a reminder Of his early af-
fections. AS the present Mrs. Davis
was wife No. of Jefferson Davis,
and the 1884 letter was written to his
6rst wife, long since dead, it is advls-
able that it remain where it is. The
widow Of Mr.. Davis would have little |
appreciation for the first love Of her
husband.
Tho RailsOay Age in a forthcoming |
issue will say: The year 1889 makes a
much less favorable showing in respect
to foreclosure sales. than it's immediate
predecessor, although on the other
hand its record is much less discourage
ing than the three years preceding
1888. A table is appended showing
that during 1889 twenty-five roads
we're sold under foreclosure, having an
aggregate mileage Of 1890 miles and
total funded Debt and capital stock Of
$l37,7l5,0O0.
Hon Geo. Ainslie, formerly dele
gate in congress FROM idaho, has re-
Gently received bearest from de-
ceased uncle In Scotland to the amount
of S65,000. This Ia to lie more ap-
preciated than if his uncle had visited
him, and given him the Ia grippe. If
there are any more British uncles desi,
rous of dying their American nephews
will haye no objection to receiving a
