EDITORIAL NOTES.


We may look for something in
teresting over the "big pond" after
next Thursday, When Balfour will
Introduce his land bill in parliament.
The British empire is anxiously await
ing developments regarding the policy
of the Tory government.
The Democrats are hard pressed for
capital during the coming campaign,
and not being able to attack the pres
ent administration on any vulnerable
point, are trying to make capital be-
cause President Harrison did not de-
clare war against the little republic Ct
Chill, and sacrifice millions of treasure
and the lives of citizens in barbsrous
conflict with a nation of half-breeds.
The Dalles has set the example Of
the formation of a Republican club,
and other precincts should do likewise
In every town in Wasco county club
should be formed for campaign pur-
poses, and by these means the success
or the party is assured. 1t is not fair
that this city should have the candi-
dates, and any selfish faction which at
tempts to control matters should not
be allowed to be supreme in political
matters.
Perhaps no better description of the
red tape of official doings was ever
published than the short note about
the decentralization Office" In one of
Dickens works. Official business in
this country and Great Britain is man
aged in such an intricate manner that
it is almost impossible for an ordinary
individual to receive any redress for
an injury received. In such instances
it is far better to suffer wrongs than
10 attempt their fedreSs.
The political pot" in Wasco county
is rapidly beginning to assume boil
ing temperature, and candidates are
"bobbing up serenely" in many direc-
tions. By fair vote the county is
150 Republican, and the candidates of
that party will be elected if harmony
prevails in the ranks; but care should
be taken not to nominate men who
simply represent factional interests,
and attempt to ride into Office on the
food tide of the majority.
The sealing season is open, and the
Behring sea question has not yet been
settled, although the English commis-
sioners have been in Washington some
time. Mr.. Blaine, in the peaceful
settlement of this question, proved
himself a diplomat competent to
handle intricate international prob
lens, and it is to be hoped that the
conference between the commissioners
of the two nations will place the
matter of the seal fisheries beyond
dispute.
We do not know whether Portland
will be successful in securing an appro-
priation from congress for a deep
channel from Astoria; but if she does
it will reduce the amounts for the |
Cascade Locks and the mouth of the
Columbia, and it will only benefit a
local enterprise. We are favorable to |
every general Improvement in the
northwest, but matters simply of local
interest should receive support from
the community and not from the gen.
sral government.

Astoria To,cn Talk: Portland is now be-
fore congress struggling at the national
treasury for money to boom herself, and
suppress information and distort facts about
the mouth of the Columbia river. Congress
is being importuned by Portland to run its
hand into the pockets of the people OF the
United States to widen and deepen a
channel from Portland to the Pacific ocean,
a distance OF ITO miles, to continue that
city in her strained position as mistress of
the Pacific northwest. To more efectually
convince congress that this channel is
needed, the Port of Portland was created at
the last session of the legislature. Herein
was the '.job" part Of the programme. Few
people who voted to create the Port of
Portland had an idea that she would have
the immaculate gall to ask the people of the
United States to put up the money for
scheme that is almost wholly for the boom
ing and individual benefit of one city and
few parsimonious old mossbacks. If the
channel from Portland to the sea is to be
widened and deepened, and kept SO, Port
land should be compelled to do it at her
own expense,

Hon. Elisha Barnes Is Dead.
ochoco Review.

Last week word was received of the death
of Hon. Elisha Barnes, which occurred in
Missouri recently, though the information
received does not give the date OF his de-
mise
Mr.. Barnes was born in Kentucky in
1926. and at an early age moved to Mis-.
souri,. Being attracted by the glowing &C.
counts of the "Golden West" ne, with his
family, crossed the plains to California in
1858, where he engeged in mining, and re-
manned in that state until 1862. That year
he came to Oregon. locating near Lebanon,
in Linn county. Here he remained until
the fall of 1867, when the miners of the
upper country" as Eastern Oregon was
then called, began returning to Willamette
valley, and told of the wealth OF the bunch
grass country east of the mountains. These
reports inspired in him desire to push
furt ther out on the frontier, and with little
party of brave men came across the Cascade
mountains and wintered in Ochoco valley,
then the home of the savage. The vicissl.
tudes and dangers encountered by this little
party have oft been repeated, and those who
enjoy comfortable homes lu this vicinity
neers who wrested this country from the
Indians.
During his life here Mr.. Barnes took an
active part in public affairs. and represented
ttosa nfxy fta cko% 30 I,,-.
two sessions, having been elected in 1874.
Eos number of years Mr.. Barnes health
has been failing, and last fall he went to
Missouri, hoping the change would be bene-
fetal.
Mr.. Barnes leaves wife, four sons and
three daughter, Geo. W., William, Frank,
Marsey and Mrs. S. 1. Belknap. of this
county, Mrs. s. T. Richardson, of Salem,
and Mrs. Minor Lewis, of Woodburn.

GROVER AS A VETOIST.
HERE'S A LIST OF BILLS HE
DISAPPROVED.
Information Given for tho Benefit of the
Soldiers of the observation-disclosures That
Cannot He Disputed-No Politics I'm the
Homestead Affair.
Cleveland AMI the Soldiers.

The pension vctoes OF Grover Cleve-
land are rising up like Bhnquo's ghost
to condemn him. The failure 10 put u
soldier on the Democratic ticket at the
Chicago convention is now one of the
confessed weaknesses OF the ticket, and
the Democratic statesmen of the capital
are loud in their protests against this
insanity. This, too, with the Copper
head tendencies OF the man whose title
of general carried him through the
thickest of the Vice Presidential con-
test, has already weakened and Slapped
the strength OF Mr.. Cleveland. The
pathway of Cleveland during four years
is strewn with pension vetoes. Tears
like dew are on both sides of the path
widows tears, too. What did Cleveland
feck though he blasted and ruined hopes
of broken down veterans and sent fami-
lies to poor houses. The enmity of the
Democracy To the soldier Is no new
thing. 1t is living, vital issue to-day
The fact that New York's Democratic
Legislature passed hill last winter to
give to the substitute heirs the money
they had paid for the men who had
gone in their places, is n clear EXPOSE
ton of the Democratic policy. Under
the law, Cleveland receiN os the money
he paid for Brinski's services to him
as his substitute, which is paid
back by the taxpayers O. New York.
The soldiers helped 10 defeat Grover
Cleveland in 1885. They will again cut
him in 1892. Their sons, with the mem
DRY of the insults heaped up in those
