The Russians Can,ure Paris.

PARIS, Oct. 17-This is great day at
the French capital. 1t is general holi-
day, and from early dawn people began
crowding in holiday attire in the streets,
pouring in from the country in special
trains. The streets are almost embog..
cred iu decorations In which tine Russian
and French colors commiDgle as French
hopes they may on that day when Frances
enemies appear opposed to her in battle
array. Windows, balconies, house tops,
and even cbimneys, along the route
which the Russians will take, are black
with sightseers. Russian naval officers
arrived by train from Toulon at 9 80 this
morning. A throng, estimated at 10O,-
900 people, gathered around the depot,
while every street leading 10 the military
club. where the Russians will be enter
tained, was packed with people. The
Russians appeared and entered csrria-
ges, and the great throng set up mighty
shout of "Vlve la Russia" Admiral
A7ellan and the officers accompanying
him stood in carriages and repli Id with
shouts of "Vive la France" 1t was only
with the utmost difficulty the police were
enabled to keep the thoroughiares on the
way to the club clear enough to admit
OF the carriages passing at u slow walk
at times French enthusiasm was worked
up to sDch pitch that the Russians
looked alarmed at the cheering masses,
surgIug forward, burst through the mil
itary lines and gathered close about
them. The Russians appeared thor
oughly tired out by the series of enter
tainments at Toulon. Admiral Avellan
made brief response to the address of
welcome presented him at the station by
the president of the council, expressing
pleasure at being chosen to return the
visit of Admiral Gervais to St, Peters
burg, closing with compliments for France
and Frepchman.
President Carnot conferred on Admiral
Avellan the decoration of grand officer
of the Legion of Honor. Other officers
were alse decorated.

head, and several others bruised. Later
on the freight carried them all out OF

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Union Pacific has followed the
example Of the Northepa Pacific, and
has placed its affairs in the hands of
receiver. But this does not mean
the same as it would if a private in
dividual were to follow the same
method.
1t will be raw day for the Demo-
cratic party when all the raw material
men are heard from. What do you
say to this, you Eastern Oregon Dem
ocratic wool menASalem Statesman.
When the vote is taken in 1896 every
thing will be in favor of protection in
this portion of the state. 1t will be
impossible to find Democratic sheep,
lamb or goat east of the Cascades.
There is no indication that the war
in the republics of South America is
nearing its end. The people down
there revolutionize the government,
apparently, for pastime, and are not
completely happy without they are
cutting some ons throat. Free insti-
tutions are not always conducive to
the most perfect state of society and
the highest condition of human peace
and tranquility.
Some of the more radical friends of
Irish home-rule will likely oppose Mr..
Gladstone in his constitutional meth
DDS to accomplish that end. The grand
old man, who has been prominent in
British politics for so many years,
should not allow the autumn of his
life to be- blighted by any act which
may be considered disloyal to the Eng
lisb constitution. Small men might
do this unnoticed; but with great men
it is different.
There are indications that a COM
promise will be necessary on the part
of the friends of the administration
for the repeal of the Sherman act to
be successful in the senate. This ac-
ton was demanded by the Chicago
platform, and the president is nov
placed in the humilIating position of
being forced to pander to the wishes
,f turbulent faction of his party to
carry out the pledges made to the |
country.
When Mr.. Reed was speaker of the
house he counted those present.

Senator Hill contended for Tuesday.
There can be no injustice in this, and
t is simply, as Mr.. Hill said, to make
he presiding officer tell the truth, and
he journal to refuse to tell lies. If
his common sense rule was enforced
t would stop delays in legislation and
would be an effectual bar to obstruc-
ionists. The friends of honest money

The Eueming Telegram prints the
following appeal to the president
"Mr. Cleveland. come back into the
party and stand on the platform. Re
member the obligations of party fealty.
You have strayed in Republican, pas
lures long enough. This little lesson
of defeat and humiliation ought to
teach you the necessity of standing by
the people who elected you. There is
still time for a return to the Demo
cratic fold. While the light holds out
to burn, the vilest sinner may return .
The plank in the Chicago platform that
relates to the money question can be
interpreted to mean either single
standard or binetallism, and appears
to be differently understood by the two
factions in the party. Mr.. Cleveland's
position on the subject was well known
before he was nominated, and he has
been true 10 his convictions and con-
sistent with the opinion he has form-
erly expressed. Democracy has never
advocated any fixed doctrines on ma
tional issues, and no platform can be
considered consistent with the one pre-
ceding. At one time the party has
been in favor of imitation, and subse-
quently it has supported some of the
ether wild theories on finance. If
honest money were considered popular
with the people, Democrats would sup
port the single standard as the meas
ure of values, and they would with
equal ardor attempt to drift with the
current if that tended in the direction
of free coinage. Anything to gain
votes has been their motto for years,
and we can see no indication of any
change from this yet. Mr.. Cleveland
has been honest and courageous in his
opinions, and in this regard has in
Cured the bitter aniposities of many
Democrats. Perhaps he is more Re
publican than Democratic, and the
party of patriotism, progress and pro-
lection may more nesrly agree with
his ideas than the one with which he
is affiliated.

are strongly intrenched, and are making

ous. Reinforcements which arrived at
Melilla are utterly inadequate, and fully
$4,000 men will be required in order to
enable the Spaniards to take the often

EXECUTIVE FLRMNESS.

The tyranny of the minority in the
senate has been suffered by the coun-
try for long while, and the people
have arrived at the conclusion that it
is equally burdensome as the oppres-
sion of the majority. If, as Shakes
peare says, there is divinity that
doth hedge around king, his satanic
majesty must have taken full control
of the silverites in the present con-
gress. Contrary to the pledges their
party made to the country. against the
protest of the executive whom their
partisans elected to the highest office
in the gift CT the American people,
and with full knowledge of the un-
exampled financial distress that has
spread over the country, for weeks past
they have acted the part of stubborn
obstructionists, forcing the majority to
remain idle and refusing to do any
thing themselves. On different occa-
sions the friends of the repeal meas
ure have attempted several plans to
induce them to act IN q becoming
manner as representatives of the peo-
pie IN the higher branch of the ma
tional legislature; but to no purpose.
They would do nothing unless they
could be assured that free coinage
bill would pass the senate. There was
time when the congress at Washing
ton City was dignifed body of men,
who would sacrifice every considera-
tion for the benefit of the country;
but this era has passed, and the con-
vention that has been in special ses-
sion since August 7th has many of the
clements of the ward caucus of po-
litical party. 1t is true that they were
elected by their constituency to legis-
late for the public veal, and not to
make long speeches against tine. But
this has been forgotten, and the wran-
yles in the senate over the monetary
question have been productive of very
much harm and little good. Is it any
wonder that in such an emergency
President Cleveland has come to the
conclusion that before adjournment
must be done in relation to
The object for which the special session
was called, and that, as executive of
68, 900, 900 people, he will not permit
the financial interests of the republic
TO be wrecked to satisfy the selfish
IDEAS of the representatives CT few
silver mine owners. He has demon
,trated the fact that he knows his
luty, and is not afraid to perform it.
We hope he will continue the session,
t possible, until there Is an uncondl-
;;onal repeal of the silver purchase
clause of the Sherman act. He is not
'nly the president of the Democratic
,arty, but of the entire people, and
lis duty should be performed to all
like. The lamented Lincoln, in the
rying epoch of his administration,

tanding the opposition of the aboli-
ionists of the north and the fire
aters of the south, and history will
lace him as one Of the great men of
II time. Mr.. Cleveland can make
anne for himself by pursuing an un-
Vavering course in what he deems for
be best interests of the whole coun-
ry, aud patriotism will accord him its
reed of pruise.

DEMOCRATIC DLSsENsIoNs.

In the conflict in the senate between
the two factions of the Democratic
party there is occasionally an express
sion Of opinion, of which it would be
we'll to take note. Of course, when
the members of the organization are
harmonious there is mellifuous flow
of language that would incline one to
the belief that Democracy had con-
t;nual love feast; but when contrary
winds blow there is liable to be un-
pleasant things said which give DIFF
ferent view of affairs. The surface of
the pool is placid and smooth when
there is no breeze stirring, but when
there is internal commotion the mud
and slime at the bottom is liable to
come to the surface. We were forci-
bly, reminded of this in the debate be-
tween Hill, of New York, and Nor
gan, of Alabama, Tuesday In his
speech the gentleman from the south
had spoken of his life-long devotion
to the constitution, and in answer the
senator from New York said: III sup
posed, that for a brief period my
friend supported another constitution,
but I may be mistaken" As to Nor
gan's talk about dying at bis post. Hill
heard like statements by men who
were "going to die in the last ditch, "
but, said Hill, '.there were many of
them left" If this had been uttered
by Republican the howl Of "bloody
shirt" would have been raised by the
Democratic press from Maine to Gal.
ifornia; and Mr.. Hill would not have
said anything, which might have been
interpreted as calling in question the
patriotism Of southern Democrats, dur.
ing presidential campaign. But the
northern wing of the party can speak
boldly now until 1896, when the love-
feast will again be inaugurated. This
independent spirit appears to be
abroad in the land, and even among
Democrats in Oregon there have been
PLAIN words spoken. It was only a
few weeks ago that the Welcome, in
Portland, called the Euening Telegram
the Rebel Yell, undoubtedly referring
to the predictions of the editor dur
ing the late unpleasantness. AS Re-
publican we are glad to note these out
bursts of honest, patriotic feelings in
the senate and the more common
walks of life among that party who
has made every possible excuse for
treason and traitors for the past
twenty-five years "To err is human
and to forgive divine" Is an old and
true aphorism, and when Democrats
do not act divinely if they are opposed
by men who sought to dismember the
union, Republicans cannot be expected
to when the constitutional amend
ments made necessary by the changed
of the people since the war,
are ignored and trampled under feet
by the descendants of shareholders in
the south. The wrangle between
Democrats, during this factional fight
between the friends of Mr.. Cleveland
and those in favor of free coinage, may
bring many things to light that have
been hidden for years, and the solid
south may not hereafter SO readily
Wheel into line in support of north
srn candidate.

Where the strawberry bed is to stand

vises that it be mown down and burned
over directly after picking. 1t does not
destroy the roots of the plants, which
soon start up with renewed vigor, but it
destroys fungi, weeds and insects and
their eggs and seems to give new life to
the whole plantation. OF coursethe ma
terial burned should not be such as to
make too hot fire, but enough to run
lightly over tho whole bed. Those who
intend setting new bed and are expect
ing to take runners that start from the
old beds will do well to apply a liberal
dressing Of fertilizer as soon as they have
finished picking their berries. Ferti-
lzer is better than even well rotted barn
manure, because it is free from weed
seed. 1t will not pay to transplant any
plants that have once borne, and when
they have borne two crops it will be bet
ter to root them out and let young plants
take their place if lack of suitable ground
makes it necessary to continue in the
same place. When one has the ground.
however, it is a still better plan to start
a new bed in new soil.
