EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Walla Walla Union-Journal haf
changed management and name. 1t is
now published by Herbert G. Gregg
and Harry o. Kelso under the name o.
the Walla Walla Union.
Is it not barely possible that Mrs
| Fitzsimmons travels with her husband
to protect him from an assault by Cor
bett. Of course Gentleman Jim would
! cot fight in the presence of lady.
There is no hope now of the Corbett'
Fitzsimmons talking match ever term
mating. Mrs. Fitzsimmons has taken
hand, and all that remains is foE
Mrs. Corbett to spit on her tongue and
turn loose. ..t
The spectacle of woman lodging
around the country with her pugilistic-
mouthed husband. ostensibly encourag-
ing him to participate in prize. fight.
is not calculated to increase the public
regard for that kind of new woman.
With the Ourrlnt trial over, the
Corbett- Fitzsimmons blizzard blown
out, the fall elections past, and the
Vanderbilt girl married, it looks as
though the American newspapers had
a hard winter before them.
A new secret society with political
or semi-political objects has been in
corporated in Illinois. The object is
expressed in the name, Anti Saloon
Society. 1t is not at all likely that it
will adopt its initials as convenient
and brief title.
Nearly every man elected to an office
in Oregon considers it his duty to
plund, the state whenever the oppor-
tuniIy offers. 1t is a shame that no
one has any mercy TO show to the tax
payers.-Salem Post. We are pleased
to state that very great majority OF
the men referred to above are Repub-
licans. Possibly next year the voters
will call for new deal.
If there are any three men In the
United States who are to be really
pitied they are Benjamin Harrison,
VIM. Mckinley and Thomas Reed.
Either of them would no doubt be ac-
ceptable to majority of Republicans
as candidate for president, but their
friends are killing them of by degrees
by so industriously urging their claims
upon the people.
Even if the present tariff law has
caused d deficit, the money that has
not been collected remains in the
pockets of the people, and is not piled
up in the treasury or expended in use
less extravaganza. In this it is al
least an improvement over law that
collects too much revenue, and thereby
incites congress to wasteful expendi'
lures.
Jack Dempsey died in Portland yes,
terday morning at 6:45. He was the
best man of bis inches who ever stood
| in the prize-ring, and to his credit be
it sale, he was never a prize fighter
except when in the ring. He was
I, quiet, clean gentleman, who, as he ex
pressed it, "did not like TO talk shop,
and was decided contrast to the big
mouthed fakirs who have made &c
uAuch stir recently at Hot Springs.
4 The 8ght against bossism in Mary
pand which was so earnestly carried
ion by the Baltimore Sun. resulted in
| the defeat of the Democratic ticket
However it was sacrifice worth
making. No party can long exist un'
der the control of man like German.
Now that the Democrats of Maryland
are rid of him. they can harmonize on
old party lines, and be able to carry
the state next November.
Ex-senator Edmunds, of Vermont,
has put on his fighting raimnent and
solely and alone declared war against
England. 1t is, indeed, plucky on the
part of Edmunds to thus bristle up to
the British lion in defense of the plain
! people of America, however some OF
his belligerent nature is imbibed by a
great many of Uncle Sans citizens
who believe in pursuing an aggressive
policy toward all foreign powers.
In Kentucky the Democrats have
learned lesson by which they will
profit. Their folly of attempting to
harmonic the two factions of the
party by nominating free-silver cam
didate or a sound-money platform was
apparentfrom the beginning. Hardin's
defeat cannot be attributed to the pre-
dominence of Republicans in Ken
lucky, but the refusal of Democrats to
support man who held his personal
views above those of his party.
San Francisco is still confident she
will raise the 100000 with which to
pay off the Indebtedness of the Repub-
lican national committee, and thereby
secure the national convention of that
party next year. 1t is rather a PEE
culiar state of affairs when a city, in
order to secure national convention,
shall be called upon to pay off debts Of
extravagant campaigns, but this Is
probably modern politics in this nine
teenth century.
The way our people are becoming
worshipers of money and title is
travesty upon American independence.
Every European with title who comes
over here and makes love to an heiress
is viewed with awe as if he were super
human. Even has their admiration
for mobility" become SO great in New
York that special detectives have had
to be employed to guard the Wander
bilt mansion in order to prevent the
curious from gazing upon Marlborough,
prospective heir by mar
rage.
At the beginning of the fiscal yea.
there were 969, ,544 pensioners on the
roll-more than the combined pension
lists OF all European powers. The net
Increase during the previous year was
$50, and this, too, thirty years after
The close of the war. The estimates
or pension payments next year are
BAL ,450.O With this great burden
lpon the people, is it any wonder the
var taxes are still necessary, and tn
The revenues of the government fall
'hort of the demands?
