There is good reason to believe that
the result Of the election marks a new
era in the political history of oregon.
There can be no doubt that many DEM
ocrats all over the state voted the Re-
publican ticket straight, and that, too,
as much on the tariff issue as out Of the
fear of Populist control in the legisla-
ture. No state in the union stands to
lose more i'm the long run under free
trade than this, and it is no exaggera-
tion to say no state will be benefited
more in the next decade by continue
ton Of the policy OF protection. Demo-
since the Cleveland election, and try as
h ard as the party leaders may, the busi-
ness men OF that party can no longer
be kept in line with its free trade DOM
inatlon. So far as the Populists are con-
cerned, they have cut their last figure
as an organization in the state. Their
disintegration is absolutely certain be-
fore the next general election, and they
will be no longer counted as factor in
the political situation. The feeling of re.
lief to be witnessed on all sides since
the result has become known is truly
remarkable, and business men are now
relieved Of a strain that has hampered
their energies for many months past
and contributed in no small degree tc
the general prostratlon of business.

RESTRICTED IMMIGRATION.

There will never be so good time as
the present for n reform In the imhl-
grafton laws Of this country about
which there is beginning to be much
talk in eastern newspapers. The rate
at which immigration has fallen OH
during the past year is one of the In
evItable and most easily comprehended
results of the business stagnation due
TO the fears Of tariff legislation that
may still further paralize the industries
of the country
This falling off in immigration was
very great last year. but steamship
agents at New York and other leading
ports of entry estimate that this year 1t
will not exceed so per cent Of what 1t
was In 1893 The foreigner disposed to
come to this country Is kept back by
the fear that he will be unable to OBJ
tain employment, and very sensibly pre-
fers occupation Of some character at
home than enforced idleness in this
country, where he has neither friends
nor money.
A remarkable feature of this decrease
of immigration In the past year or two
Is that the falling off has been
of the most undesirable class of foreign
ers, and 1t is noteworthy and salts
factory fact that the immigrants who
are still coming are mainly of a very
superior kind and bid fair to make most
desirable citizens, though undesirable
immigrants continue to come to GER
tain extent,
Another important fact is that the
tide has turned in the other direction,
and the number of Objectionable for
.eigners who are returning to the old
countries Is truly astonishing. The clos
ing Of the mills and factories, while be-
Ing OF the greatest possible harm to the
country, has not been without this in
direct benefit of driving so many Of the
worst class of foreigners back to their
old homes.
1t would seem the part Of wisdom II
congress would take advantage of this
era OF dlstrust on the part of the for
elgners who are inclined to come to this
country only for the sake of the increas-
ed wages to be obtained, and who are
so loosely attached that in periods of
depression they go home and await the
resumption OF prosperity here to return
again to resume their competition
with the legitimate wage-earners OF
America, and 50 amend the Immigration
laws that for period Of at least ter
years 1t shall be impossible for the
pauper labor OF Europe to enter the por-
tails Of the United States. There could
be no easier time than the present tc
inaugurate such reform, and lnasmuct
as II is conceded that restriction must
come sooner or later why not take ad'
vantage OF the existing favorable con
dItlons and make the changes now?

AL? They are envious of the north, and
having failed to humble it by armed
force, they resort to hostile legislation.
There can be no doubt In the mind OF
any student of the country's history
that the three ex-confederates who
framed the tariff bill were aetuated by
no other motive. Is there any wonder
that some Of the northern Democrats
rebel at this rebel raid on their indus
trial bulwarks?

LONDON DRY GOODS COMMUNITY

At a great London dry goods house
all the saleswomen are expected, nay,
are obliged to dress in black. There are
200, but not "saleslady" nor a fore
lady" among them. They make derision
of these terms, which are so commonly
heard in this city. The firm also en-
ploys 600 or 700 young men. All the un-
married employees live on the premises,
and this plan is found to operate salts
factorily to all concerned. The young
men wear black coat, waistcoat and
necktie, Years ago statesmen in London
dry goods houses were. not allowed to
wear mustache, but there is more lib
erty now, and they can adorn their faces
as fancy dictates-Philadelph Times.

BUILT BY INVISIBLE HAND
90 . So that there was neither
hammer nor axe nor any other tool
of iron heard in the house while it
was building" l. Kings, vi, z.
The above is a Scriptural quotation,
to be found at the citation given,
and is concerning the building of
Solomon's Temple. The reason
therein assigned for the perfect
quietude which existed in and about
the great building while it was in
course of erection is that the stones
and timbers were all made ready
before being brought to the site of
the great building. Heber beauti-
fully alludes to this in the little
couplet, in which he says:
No hammer fell, no ponderous axes rung
Like some tall palm, the mystic fabric
sprung.
The Jews have a legend to the
effect that Solomon did not employ
men in building the great "House
of the Lord" but that he was aided
in the gigantic undertaking by the
genii. Having a premonition that
he would not live to see the build
ing finished, Solomon prayed to
God that his death might be con-
cealed from the genii until the
structure was finished. Immediate
ly after he made a staff from q
sproGt Of the Tree of Life. which
was growing in his garden, and,
leaning upon this, he died, stand
ing bolt upright in the unfinished
temple.
Those who saw him thought that
he was absorbed in prayer and shey
did not disturb him for upwards OF
whole year. Still the GEM work
ed day and night, thinking that
they were being constantly watched
by him whose eyes had been closed
in death many weeks. All this
time, SO the legend says. little white
ants Zone account says red micel
were gnawing at the staff, and,
when the temple was finally finish
ed. the staff gave way and the body
of the dead Solomon fell prone up
on the floor. Mohammet alludes
to this queer legend in the Koran
(see Sura xxxiv,) where he, says
