Rebuilding Grant .

The Wasco Ne0s says: The town of
Grant is rebuilding very fast. A new
livery stable, also hotel is under construc-
tion. The ork is being push d forward
with every energy. The new depot is COM
pleted and the travelling public will appre-
ciate it. At Murray Springs, Mr.. J W.
Smith has nearly completed splendid store
building, in which he will conduct, as of
yore, the neatest appearing store in Sher-
man unity. Mrs. Mcdonald has also re
built at this point. Mr.. Crosfeld is also
building livery stable at this point He
will run free bus to meet all trains in
connection with the Mcdonald hotel.
Truly the business people of Grant show
vast amount of pluck to so soon begin the
construction OF town that only few
months ago was almost swept from the
earth.

ASKING FOR INTERVENTION.

Dispatches from London say that
England end the other powers have
urged China to make her peace pro-
posals directly to japan and to negoti-
ate at once for a cessation of the war,
and that Japan has promised to re-
ceive the overtures in a benevolent
spirit.
On the other hand advices from
Washington are to the effect that
China has asked the United States to
cooperate with Great Britain, Russia,
Germany, France and Italy to put an
end to the war, asserting that she has
recognized the independence of Corea
heretofore and will continue to do so,
and viii pay Japan war indemnity.
Whichever of these statements may
be the more nearly correct it is quite
evident that China has had all the
war she wants with Japan, and Is
ready to settle on the best terms OBJ
tainable. 1t would, no doubt, be
more pleasing to her national pride to
have the suggestion of Intervention
come from some foreign power, but if
that be not done, China will probably
make direct overtures to japan and
propose one or more of the great pow
ers as arbiter in the settlement.
What has become of Sir Charles
Dilke's prediction of few years ago
that before long Europe and America
might be compelled to form an alliance
for mutual defense against armed
hordes of Mongoiian warriors bent on
conquest? Here comes japan, in
finitely smaller than China in point of
numbers, invades Chinese territory,
fights China on sea and land, and
never loses battle, This puts an
end, for century at least, to any fear
of an armed invasion.
There is serious danger. however.
of what may be called an economic in
vasion. If China shall come out of
her shell of custom and tradition and
engage extensively in certain lines of
manufactures, particularly in textile
fabrics, the only way the world could
prevent being undersold in its own
markets would be by the adoption of 3
general protective policy. Great
Britain is free-trade country, but
let Chinese cottons, made by 10-cents-
a-day labor, come into direct COM
petition with the output of Manches-
ter, and there would be an import
duty put on such fabrics such as to
give the Golden Club fearful if not
a fatal shock, and make the tariff once
more an issue in British politics.

The Real Meanine Of .We. y

Somebody who wants to explain what
the editorial tive" signifies, says it has a
variety of meanings. varied TO suit the cir
cumstances. For example: When you
read that 1--WE expect our wife home to-
day." "ws" refers to the editor-in-chief; !;
when il reads "we are little late with
wotk," it includes the whole Office force,
even to the devil and the towel; in 1--WE
are having a boom," the town is meant;
I'VE received over 100000 immigrants last
year." and 1t embraces the nation; but
1--WE have hog cholera in our mi ST." only
means that the man who takes the paper
and does not pay for it is very i'll.

-DBMOCRA71O POLICIES.

Too much emphasis cannot be put
upon the fact that the late election
was rebuke of Democratic hostility
to the industrial and business inter
ests of the country, but it must not be
forgotten that other causes contributed
materially to the result, says an ex-
change. President Harrison was
right in saying in his published letter
to friend that the people had re-
buked Democratic policies, not policy.
Important in the list of these re-
buked policies is that of hampering
and otherwise antagonizing the fair
treatment of the old soldiers. Could
the vote of last week be thoroughly
analysed it would be found that many
thousands of soldiers with Democratic
procivities took that opportunity to
condemn the pension policy of Grover
Cleveland, Hoke Smith, and the Dem
ocratic party in congress.
The death of Major Woodbury. M.
Taylor throws suggestive side light
upon the policy. Major Taylor was
gallant officer, and no doubt his life
was shortened by the hardships and
exposures of army life. With his
rugged constitution and good habits
he would still, in the ordinary course
of nature, have been in the full vigor
of manhood. For long time after
the war his financial condition was
such that be needed no pension, but
later be did need 1t and applied for it.
1t SO happened that the very day his
death was announced came inteli
gence from Washington that his PEN
sion had been allowed. That post
mortem allowance of pension fairly
illustrates the policy of DELAY which
this administration has adopted. The
deliberate aim and purpose of the
pension bureau under Hoke Smith
seems to be to prevent applications
from being finally granted as long as
possible.
The veterans Of the country do well
to condemn by their votes such cruel |
policy. Nor can any genuine patriot
who really appreciates what the coun
try owes to the old soldiers fail to
:ympathize with and join in this con-
