CHEERFUL news for the Democrats
comes pouring in. In Ohio, where
at the beginning of the campaign the
Republicans seemed to have it all
their own way, the tide has turned,
and the Democrats are sweeping
through the State from one end to the
other, invading with telling effect the
Republican strongholds. Gov. Camp
bell is astonishing even his warmest
friends by the readiness and power OF
his speeches, and the people are get
ting more light on the tariff than they
have ever had before. The Republ-
cans are standing on the defensive,
and even then cannot hold their
ground. In New York the Democra-
cy is thoroughly aroused, and it looks
now as il they will carry the State by
10000 majority. In Maryland the Re
publicans are not in it at all. In Penn
sylvania the Republicans are terribly
handicapped by the disastrous Bards-
ley steal and the various bank failures
In which high State officials and prom-
fneDt politicians are so seriously
mixed, busthe Democrats do not seem
to be taking full advantage Of their
opportunities. Thousands of Repub-
licans will refuse to vote. and if the
Democrats turn out in full force they
will carry the State. In Massachu-
sets the Democrats have very good
reasons to be hopeful. for there are
signs that the Republicans of that
State are not at all satisfied with their
party. Take it all in all. the Demo
cratic outlook is very bright through
out the country.
But it's hard to tell how an election
will go until the votes are counted.

SOME time since, reference was
made in these columns to the estab-
lishment of a society Of union veter-
ans in Washington City for the sup
preston of pension frauds. Now
news somes from Providence, Rhode
Island. Of the formation there OF a
new order called THE Old Guard, :"
the object Of which is to prevent the
obtaining OF illegal and questionable
pensions, and TO expose those that
have already been fraudulently
granted. The promoters of the new
order are oil Republicans and are
veterans who stand high in the G.. A.
r. The country will hail with de-
light this patriotic band Of men, and
their work will be heartily encouraged
by the people who have grown so
weary of the pension business. The
REGISTER predicted months ago that
this revulsion of feeling would come.
Let the humbugs stand from under.

JOHN HoEY, the president of the
Adams Express Company, has been
deposed from his position as the head
of that great corporation, and suit
has been brought against him by the
directors to make him refund money
fraudulently obtained from the com
pany. This is the way Mr.. HOey
would make money: He would buy
out in his own name some small eX-
press company, paving for it, say,
$25, 600 Then he would immediately
sell out TO the Adams Express Com
pany for, say, 100000, putting the
snug sum of $4,000 in his own pri-
vate pocket He and a few friends
had the business just as they wanted
it. No reports were made to the
stockholders, and if anyone kicked"
he was simply told that if he was dis
satisfied they would buy his stock.
President Hoey and Vice-President
Spooner swindled the company and
the public right and left, but they
have been caught at last and will be
made to answer.
Incidentally, it is to be hoped that
some other abuses in the way Of ex-
orbitant charges may be the subjects
of reform by the new administration.

Beautiful Women OF Peru.

AS all the world knows the women of
Lima are proverbial for their beauty,
says a Lima letter. Such large, liquid,
''soulful" eyes; such rosebud lips and
pearly teeth; such dainty hands and feet
and rounded arms and graceful figures
it would be hard to find SO commonly
anywhere else on the earth. A COM
paratively few of the most ultra-fash-
iondble wear modern hats and bonnets
for state occasions, but the vast major
ity still cover their glossy black tresses
with the lace mantilla or black manta
of silk or woolen. The latter is the
only correct thing for church wear
among young and old, rich and poor;
and bonnet would no more be allowed
during service than gentleman mt the
North would be expected to come to the
communion altar with his hat 'on his
head. But the mantas are no longer
put on, as formerly, so that only one
eve of the wearcr is visible, but arc dis
posed with more or less coquettish eff
feet, and ire vastly more becoming to
the Costilian type of beauty than the
most elaborate triumphs of French mil.

AT THE FISH cANNERIEs.
A Description OF the Wheels with Which
the Fish Are Caught,

n Description OF tho Wheels with Which
the Fish Are Caught.
When on the Columbia river last sum-
mer, writes correspondent of the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, 1 saw those wonder
full 'tfish Wheels" by which the fine sal
mon of that magnificent river are
taken. One, which I examined partic-
ularly while in operation, was thirty
six feet in diameter, with the other
measurements in proportion. 1t was
permanently placed in its settings near
the shore, with sort of fence running
from it and widening out into the
stream below, SO as to compel the fish
from quite a width of the river to come
that way. The current, of course,
turns the wheel, which is so seived with
wire that when the mighty paddles go
down any thing of size that comes that
way is at once lifted out of the water.
Now the salmon is no "happy-go-
easy" fish. 1t will not float with the
current, but, instead, ever goes against
1t, sometimes, too,. at the rate of twenty
miles an hour. So, drawn in by this
fence inclosure, battling with five or
six-mile current they rush into the wire
cages ofithi revolving wheel and are
lifted out of the water. This wheel is
SO arranged with troughs on slant be-
tween the paddles that the fish are
dropped into large tank, through the
apertures of which the water runs-free-
ly. And this tank is so fixed with pull
leys that whenever desired it can be
lifted above the river, and the water
immediately running out the fish are
readily killed and then taken in boat
loads to the canning factory.
There are several of these wheels to
each factory. And looking into one of
these factories saw a. large room, pos
sibly forty feet square, covered foot
or two deep with fish, waiting patiently
to be put through the necessary pro-
cesses and get safely housed in cans.
With one of these wheels, so 1 was
told by boss fisherman, they took out
last spring, in twenty-four hours, 1O2,-
900 pounds. When was there the best
of the season was passed, but even then
they were doing lively business. One
salmon then taken, would measure
about four feet in length, but the most
of them that were being Topped over
would weigh from five to twenty pounds
The smaller ones they. do not desire,
and so the sieves on the wheel are made
sufficiently coarse to let them through,
and they fell back into the current to be
picked up again some future day when
grown to respectable and paying size
There were pointed out to me several
varieties of the salmon, some of which,
for instance the dog" and "white," are
either discarded altogether, .op traded
off for trinkets to the Indians But,
when not being watched, the tcmpta-
tion must be considerable to make good
market of them all. The "blue-blacI"
and the dark and spotted varieties have
the finest grain and flavor, and so are
the most priced. But many salmon
that is eaten and relished in Chicago
would not be served in Portland. But
since all can not live in Oregon, it is
we'll that with this dish people are not
over dainty, for "when ignorance is
| bliss. tits folly to be wise"

PLATTE VALLEY IRRIGATION.
Survey Work Being Pushed on the
Douglas Ditch.

The Douglas Budget SAYS: THE sur
veyors are making satisfactory progress on
the Douglas ditch. They were camped, a
few days ago, with the CORPS of engineers
who are running the preliminary line OF
Col. Richards mammoth canal, and
whose line was already four miles from
the river. Mr.. Richards ditch promises
to cJver the entire country down this way.
striking the heads of Sage and Antelope
creeks, and covering the whole of the
Shawnee valley.
The Platte offers special inducements
to irrigation capitalists. ItJ"high water
stage is from six weeks to two months
later than most small streams 1t begins
to rise in April aud usually attains It's
maximum in June and Is rarely fordable
before August-and then the crop is
made, and beyond damage from drouth.
The river is a raging torrent four months
in the year. At Its lowest stage it is a
good sized stream and runs a large volume
of water. Its banks and the con6gura-
ton Of its valleys are such as to render it
easy to build storage reservoirs OF dams
at almost any point along its course. The
close proximity of all materials requisite
for carrying put enterprises of this sort.
such as stone, timber and cement, is an
advantage which should not be lost sight
of. What may be regarded as low water
mark in the Platte is reached in October.
The river was gagged last season IN that
month at a point near Saratoga, some
400 miles above us, at what was SON
sidered its lowest stage and showed that
it then ran 3, 772 cubic feet of water per
second. 1t is safe to saYthat its volume
at this point is much larger than that,
and that during the IrrigatIng season it is
from eight to ten lines greater.
1t has been a revelation to many WISH
tors to the Platte valley that the sage.
brush land, that was SO long regarded as
worthless, can be turned into arabic land
of such excellent quality and made to be
so productive. The expense is merely
trivial. All that has tie be done is to olear
the land, turn water onto it and nature
does the rest. Where the land has been
under water for a season the sagebrush is
killed and grass springs up. which fur
nishes the finest feed known for stock.
