Wasco will roll up good majority for

Wasco will roll up good majority for
the ticket next June.
Ante-convention candidates for The
different offices to he elected nex' June
are becoming very numerous; hui
there will be few enough next June
for voters to make choice.
The Democratic attempt to make
tho people believe that times are IU-
proving in the last few weeks is not
generally successful. The people will
believe it when business begins to re-
vive, and Republican wages are paid
laborers.
1t is time Democrats we're beginning
to combine with the Populists if they
expect the movement to be successful
next June. Governor Pennoyer would
be a competent person to take the
lead in the matter.
The short visit of winter which the
people suffered this week will make
spring more enjoyable when it comes.
IN this grand north west almost all
things are possible, and next week,
very likely, huttercups and daisies will
he blooming all over the hlllsides.
The nomination of w. II. Peckhs N
to the supreme bench was defeated n
the senate by vote of 80 for and Al
against. This is the second candidate
named for the position by Mr.. Cleve-
land whom the senate has refused 10
confirm, and Mr.. Hill, of New York,
is credlted with the defeat of both.
The party is breaking loose from its
president, and the New York senator's
star is in the ascendant.
Just take note of the fact that not
o leading Democratic journal horth of
Mason and Dixon's line has had any
words Of rejoicing over the passage of
the whitewashing Hawaiion resoIu-
tions in congress. They know that
the people understand the ridiculous
blunder and failure of the president,
and have not the least sympathy with
him in his discontinue. They under
stand that it emily adds to the grievous
load the party has been called to bear.
The defeat of 1892 and the last
years test of Democracy are bringing
the Republicans to their senses, and
Pennsylvania last Friday gave one of
the old time majoritiss of 100000.
When everything is prosperous Re-
puhlicans stray of intoother foljs,
and help increase the numhers of Pop
ullsts, Prohibitionists and other parties;
but in the time of disaster and defeat
they generally remember their Grst
love and return repentant to the pa
rent organization.
Senator Hill made public the speech
he made in executive session against
the confirmation of Peckham as justice
of the supreme court, and upon his de-
veted head are showered the phials of
wrath of his colleagues. These ses-
sions are supposed to be secret, and the
senator from New York has violated
Q we'll established precedent He will
undoubtedly survive, and his action
will not impair bis strength if he de-
slres the Democratic nomination for
president in 1896.
The Democratic organs that favor
the income tax are giving figures of the
immense wealth possessed by sone
American citizens in order to make an
argument fer that clause in the Will
sen bill. Property in al portions Of
the United States pays its proportion
of taxes, and, according to the Wilson
bill, to tkis is added the receipts from
tho Investments. In other words. all
those having an income of over $4,000
} year are not only taxed on the value
Of their property, bat also on what 1t
earns.
