THE OUTLOOK FOR NEXT WEEK.
 As election day draws near the outlook for the Republicans continues to brighten. In Ohio the Democrats are not only on the run, but they are on the gallop. The only question is concerning the size of McKin- ley's majority. In Massachusetts there has been great change in favor of the Republicans in the last two weeks. The Worcester Spy reports heavy registra tion all over the state. The stay-at-homes are notoriously Republicans. If the peo- pie will come out to register they will come out to vote. A heavy registration, moreover, is positive proof of strong or ganizstion and unfagging activity. The western end has been walked up, and 8 strong Republican vote is confidently pre- the situation in the eastern counties. The Democrats have lost ground in Boston, and it is clear that the ground is slipping from Democratic feet in Bristol, Essex, Middlesex and Norfolk. Betting men who have placed risks on Russell are hedging The Democratic leaders show great irrita- bility, and Republican leaders show in creased cheerfulness and confidence.
 In New York the last week of the cam paign opens well. The Tribune says The registration figures contain evidence that the party is aroused to the signif- canoe of the election, and the crowded political meetings of the last fortnight confirm and strengthen the conviction that all is well up to the present moment. The Democrats have made scarcely an effort to answer the charges of malfeas ance and hypocrisy proved against them. On their side it has been campaign of alternate chatter and buster, disingenu- ous and irrelevant, but we believe not mis- leading. There is nothing to show that they have succeeded in imposing upon voters not already subject to gigantic imposition, and evidence accumu1ates to show that thousands who seldom carry their antipathy to Tammany men and methods to the point of voting against them are determined to teach the Wigwam lesson this year.
 Big Republican viotoxies next week will add much to the growing confidence in the business world Good times and Republican success will go together this year and next.

How the Russians Were Outwitted

How the Russians Were Outwttted. [George Kennan in the Century.I
 On the second day after our arrival in
 Krasnoyarsk we narrowly escaped getting into what might have been serious trouble
 as the result of an unexpected perquisi- | tion in the house of the acquaintance with whom Shamarin and Peterson were stay | ing. This acquaintance, it seemed, was | under suspicion, and late in the evening, during the absence of the two young men from their quarters, the police suddenly
 appeared with orders to make house,
 search. The search was duly made, but | nothing of suspicious nature WAS found | except the two locked trunks of Shamarin
 and Peterson. In reply to @ question as
 to what was in them the proprietor of the | house said that he did not know, that they | were the property of two of his acquain- | tances who had stopped for few days with him on their way from Irkutsk to St. Petersburg. Upon being asked where | these acquaintances were he replied that | he did not know, that they usually went | out after dinner and returned between | eleven and twelve o'clock. After a brief | consultation the police officers decided | that as they had no orders to search the personal baggage of the house-owner's | guests they would not force the locks of
 the trunks, but would merely cord and
 seal them so that the contents could not be
 tempered with and leave them until morn
 ing.
 When Shamarin and Peterson returned to their quarters about midnight they
 found their trunks corded and sealed SC
 that they could not be opened. In one oi
 them were many letters from political ex'

Tumble Weeds Stopped the Train.
 rErnrn inc pnrflanh nrarnnian

Probably most of the readers of the Or egonian have seen or heard of the tumble weed, but for the benefit of any who have not it may be said that it is bushy plant growing eighteen inches to two feet in height, having a small root and the branch es all curving inward at the top, giving the ll-grown weed globular shape. These weeds grow and flourish on summ er-fal- lowed land in parts of eastern Oregon and especially along the line of the Oregon and Washington Territory railroad between Hunts Junction and Pendleton. In the fall when the summer fallow is seeded the harrows tear up these weeds, but as they are tough and wiry, and are not broken up much, they lie around on the fields like balls. The first wind starts the balls roll ing, and away they go for the first fence CT railroad cut. The line above mentioned is not fenced, and short time ago these weeds piled into the cuts on it about He lix, in some places as high as the head light of the engine, and on account of their being crushed under the wheels and ''greasing" the track they held a train loaded with stock all night on the line. A gentleman who was on the train says that the weeds coming skipping over the banks into a cut in the dusk of evening looked for all the world like band of sheep fol lowing their leader into the cut.

LAND EASILY TRANsFERRED.

LAND EASILY TR ED.
 The Australian ballot law, more or less modified, has found much favor in this country. Australia has another thing which we might well hasten to adopt, and that is what is known as the Torrens sys- tenn of land transfer. It is system of transferring land by registration of title, and it's object is to make the sale of real estate as simple, sure and inexpensive as the sale of bonds or stocks. In the coun- tries where it has been adopted the use of it is optional with the landowner. If any one wishes to place his real estate under the system he makes application to the land transfer office, declares the nature of his title to the land in question and de- posits all his evidences of title. These are examined in the same way as under our system and if the title is found to be good the registrar general issues certificate of title vesting the estate indefeasibly in the applicant. If the title is not good the ap- plication is of course rejected. But if there is only some technical flaw in the title, the applicant being in possession, no- tice is given to any persons who may have an interest that unless a caveat is filed within certain time the land will be regis tered in accordance with the application.
 The certificate when granted, duplicate of which is retained in the office, describes in detail, though briefly, the land in ques- tion, with plan or reference to map, and sets forth the nature of the holders title, with a memorandum of all mort
 gages, leases or incumbrances of any na- ture. This one document is sufficient to show the exact title and the government guarantees that the title is correct. Hence forth the transfer of that land is simple and sure and entails practically no ex- pense. The examination of title has been made once for all; the holder of the. .certif- cate from the land transfer office
 has an absolute, indefeasible title
 guaranteed by the government If he wishes to sell his land he makes out 8 memorandum of transfer in simple prescribed form, which, together with his | certificate, is taken to the registrar, the | transfer is entered upon the books ant l upon the certificate and the new over ha' l the indefeasible title with the government guarantee. A mortgage, lease or other in | cumbrance is managed in the same way
 There is no expense of looking up the titl'
 over and over again at every transfer ant | no doubt or cloud upon it.
 There is no question about the advant
 ages of this simple system over the clumsy 1 tedious one in use in this country. It vii probably ultimately find the favor it de serves, but reform in anything is slov | work

 MAN AND PARTON WHISTLE. The Fish Came Aboard, Minded His
 Man, and Departed in Good Condi-
 ton.
 From the Arkansas Pass Beacon.l
 County Attorney Andrews has some rare experiences with the gamest of game fish, the famous tarpon. Tom never goes for the Monsters of the deep with hook and line, as Governors Hogg and Ireland do. He just goes along in the tarpon hunt as if he were going to court, and yet he manages to carry off the lions share of the sport. It will be remembered how he got his hand into the gill of Senator Coke's tarpon and tussled with it, until, by skillfnl hounce, the fish threw the hook into the the lawyers s nose. Then, without telling, he turned loose the fish, grabbed the line and shouted the situation to Captain Bailey, who was pulling in the line.
 Last week Tom went with another party on tarpon hunt. As usual he had no fishing tackle. He went along merely as a happy, contented observer of the sport. He was sitting on the deck comfortably smok- ing his long-stemmed pipe when huge tarpon made wild leap from the wave, aimed at the lazy mans face, missed, but fairly knocked the pipe out of its oppo- nent's mouth and tauntingly settled itself on deck right at the feet of the disciple of Blackstone.
 This was too much Tom was not med ding with the tarpon, which had attaked without the least provocation, had insult ingly slapped the pipe out his mouth, and scattered his dignity and tobacco to the wind. This was all too much for our friend. He sprang upon his tarpon foe Ia seventy five pounder) and rode him all over the deck. Man and fish, they mixed things wildly. Tom grappled the fish in more than loving embrace, while the enraged fish with its tail lashed Tom too vigorously fol ordinary play. They rolled, they tumbled the big scales flew from the big fish; the lawyer panted, but held on with determi nation to win 8 verdict in the case. The fun grew fast and furious. The unused muscles of the officer of the court, however were soon taxed beyond endurance. When perforcc his grasp was relaxed tht fish, with snort of triumph, leaped bacl into its native element, justly entitled henceforth to wear the insignia of kings oi tarpons. It had invaded the ship and bold ly engaged the big lawyer in mortal com bat and returned triumphantly to its fel low QeniZens of the deeD

1T II INTERVENING TO follow the advo.
Gates OF tariff for revenue only" in
their Inconsistent wanderines aftercriti-
cisms OF the existing law. Just now they
are greatly exercised over the Tact that
some advance was made on certain grades
OF tobacco, and hasten To array ia oppo-
sition every consumer who is likely TO be
affected thereby.
Now, criticism OF the tobacco tariff by
the heralds Of revenue only system in-
vites attention 20 the treatment OF the
subject under the British revenue law,
which Is 80 nearly suited TO the notions
Of reform" workers in this country.
Great Britain levies "A tariff ON tobacco
ranging from eighty-seven cents per
pound ON the natural leaf TO S1.32 per
pound for the manufactured article, and
collects in the neighborhood OF 500, OOO,-
600 in some years--or about half the
revenue that comes from her tariff.
But inasmuch as tobacco lisa crop that
can be grown on variety OF soils, and
under conditions knows TO prevail in
many portions of the kingdom-and
formerly was grown to some. extent in
IreIand-this heavy tariff OF five hundred
TO one thousand per cent. laid against
importations would naturally serve az a
stimulcnt TO home produc ton. la other
words, this would be a protective tariff
for mo- crops now raised by British farm
ers are nearly SO profitable as tobacco
would be under the existing law. And at
this point most interesting aspect OF
the "revenne only" policy is brought in
To view. BY law the raising OF tobacco
is prohibited throughout the United
Kingdom under penalties attaching 20
felony, 20 the end that every pound used
shall first pay revenue at some port OF
entry. From the standpoint OF reform
ers' this showing operates still further to
the disadvantage Of their policy, in view
of the Iact that at least half Of the Brit
ish consumption Of tobacco is supplied
from the United Statcs-mostly in the
atural state, as the difference Of over
thirty cents per pound between the raw
and manufactured article is u practical
exclusion OF the latter, and 10y so much a
protection for the British manufactures
Of plugs and cigars.
IL j. in behalf OF the trainers OF such
laws as this that attorneys for "reform"
in our tariff system are moving up and
down the land and urging voters 10 be-
lieve that they are oppressed 10y tariff
taxes" that force these British gentlemen
to pay for the privilege Of sending their
wares into our markets-while in no
single instance is such tariff one-fourth as
high AS that levied 10y British law ON
American-grown tobacco.
