EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Princess Victoria Kaiaulani has
said sweet goodby to the American
people and gone back to England.
The anti-Semitic craze is not con-
fined to Russia, and even in Berlin
there are senseless denunciatlons
of the Jews.
Mr.. Cleveland is consistent in his
fight against nepotism in refusing to
appoint his own relatives TO Office.
This is the proper plan to follow in
national affairs.
Hon. Binger Hermann, the great
hand shaker, arrived at Roseburg from
Washington City yesterday. Doctors,
in that vicinity, will have an extended
practice in attending to sprained
wrists.
Brother Hendricks, of the Salem
Statesman, invites all his friends, which,
he says, "includes everybody on earth, !"
to come in and see the new folder run
every Thursday afternoon. This gen.
erous invitation does not even except
the students at the institute for the
blind at Salem.
The Dalles, at the head of naviga-
tion, with an open river to the sea, has
opportunities of being the first city in
Eastern Oregon, a center of msnufac
lures as we'll as of commerce. The
future is bright, and the city is now
entering upon an era of development
never enjoyed before.
The Roseburg Revieao says: "The
people in the country should quit farm
ing and join militia companies Then
they would be supported in idleness by
the state" We would like to know
how any member of the 0. N. G.
could derive support for himself or
family by simply donning the uniform2
The railroad commissioners have
gone to Drain to examine into the
trouble there because of the employ
ment of Japanese on the railroad
Theirs is no law forbidden these Mon
golians to work on railways. and we
cannot see in what regard the COM
mission can remedy the existing state
of affairs.
I Queen Victoria is visiting Florence,
and has been received with proper
by the royal nabobs of
Italy. 1t may be expected that the
dispatches will be full of the incomings
and outgoings of her imperial majesty,
and American republicans will be re-
galed daily with this nauseatlng mon
.rchical mental pabulum.
The dispatches contain no political
news from South America but ap-
parently one continuous revolution.
1t is very evident that there would be
more protection to life and property
under a monarchy than under free re-
publIcs. If the public welfare is con-
suited kings will rule in South Amer
ica instead of presidents and congresses.
The independent course pursued by
President Cleveland, does not seem to
meet with the appreciation of Oregon
Democrats. We do not think this
will have little influence in changing |
MS plans. There cannot be much
loubt in the minds of any one that
Grover Cleveland is president of the |
United States, and that he himself is
iully aware of this fact.
Oregon will send full display of
1er forest growths to the worlds fair,
md these will consist of gigantic pine,
ir and hemlock trees. Her traits will
also be at Chicago, and this will give
good advertisement to the great north
western state that has been blessed by |
oounteous nature with almost every |
element which underlies wealth and
development.
The political machine in Washing
on City has begun grinding. and sew
,ral appointments have been made.
Dur friends in Oregon must wait
their turn. The south first
md the west last. This is the eternal
itness of things according to the DEM
,cratic articles of faith.

are not agitating the public
