EDITORIAL NOTES.

Another Tacoma bank failed yester-
day, having in its possession S1O4, 900
of the city's money. The dispatches
did not state whether the managers
profited by the German-American
banks carelessness in leaving dollar
ten in its vaults, but it is presumed
that they did.
The Youths Companion in publish
ing the list of contributors who will
furnish the reading matter for its
pages during the coming year, men,
tions, among others, "Andrew Carne-
gle, Capitalist, Manufacturer and Phil
antrophist." Andrew Carnegie aphil-
anthropistLSay! Wouldn't that jar you?
Corbett announced Tuesday, as he
lit cigar, that he had quit training
and had fought his last fight. Consid-
ering the terrible strain on the cham
pion for the past 80 days, in which he
has fought 1900 rounds-for the press,
we commend his judgment in retiring
to the shades of private life.
Hops are quoted in the Willamette
Valley at from 81 to cents per pound.
AS the duty on hops is now cents per
pound just as it was frone 1883 to 1890.
When prices ranged from IL to 80
cents, will some of our Republican
contempories please explain that the
reduced price was caused by the
Wilson, Gorman tariff bill.
The Pendleton Tribune does not
like Congressman Ellis, and frankl y
says 80. At tthesame timeit says sit has
no candidate for any Office" and in the
next paragraph nominates J. L. Rand
for congress. Evidently there is going
to be a hot fight in the next Republi-
can state convention over the nomina-
tion for congress in this district.
The Prineville Review changed
hands last week. Mr.. L. N. Ligget
assuming editorial control. Mr.. Lig-
get is not new to the business, and
will bring ripe experience to his
work. The paper which has been
mildly Republican, will, we understand
be Independent in politics in the fu-
ture.
The election in New York is warm
ing up and taking on some queer COM
plications. There will be four tickets
in the field, one of which is known as
the "googoos" and is composed of a
split from both the Republican and
Democratic parties. The fight Is get
ting to be hot one, and the combina-
tions 80 far point to Democratic VIC
tory.
England generally finds some plaus-
ible excuse for attacking some weaker
nation and plundering it. She has
picked the wrong one this time sure,
and before she gets through with Vene-
znela, she will either have to back
down or fight. She can take her
choice, but if she wants to fight, she
will find the map of North America
instead of south, will have been
changed. She will not get a slice of
Venezuela, end she will lose Canada.
Senator Thurston, of Nebraska, says
he will resign his position of attorney
for the Union Pacific railroad before
congress meets. This will no doubt
happen, but Is there anyone doubts
but that the salary will still 60 on,
and that Mr.. Thurston's services will
still be at the command of that COM
pany. 1t is dangerous thing to elect
attorneys and corporation
presidents to the United States senate,
but the thing increases in frequency
Ind has became almost the custom.
England wants the gold-felds of
Venezuela, and she wants pretty nearly
else she can get her practi-
al clutches on. Among other little
hings she would like to have is slice !
# alaska, so she could get swipe at
he geld-felds discovered and worked
" Americans. There may be some
oubt about the influence of this gov
rnment in Venezuelan affairs, but
here is no doubt about Uncle Samael's
to take care of his own
,ngland will do we'll to adopt as rule
o govern herself by, in Alaska mat
ers, that famous expression of the q
,nglish dude-'Don't Juneau" u
At Harrisburg, Nebraska, Tuesday, a
masked bank robber attempted to r
oh the Banner County bank. The -
obber had some difficulty in drawing =
is pistol and the cashier, who seems ;,
, have been the only man present,
In out of a side door and taking the
obber's horse rode through the town
wing the alarm. The citizens gath B
ed, and as the robber came out III
3ened fire, wounding him in the leg IL
i'd capturing him. The action of the "
4shier is highly commended, but out
this coast he would be considered a
lck number. The cashier of the
bank of Tacoma pr
uld give the Nebraska brother point q
9 on that subject, and not half try. eli
he Tacoma style is to inform the rob- 10
r that he is too late, the bank Off 40
ais having taken first chance at the oa
'ag. Gs
