EDITORIAL NOTES.

Senator Dubois wants the young
men of the senate to take the bits In
their teeth and run things to suit them
selves. Dubois might profit by contem-
plating what lot of young fellows
who did the same thing at Salem accom-
plished last winter.
The sterotyped boast of the Salem
Statesman that "crops and banks never
fail in Marion county," must be elimi-
mated from the columns of that esteem
ed journal. The crop proposition is
true enough, but at last the prord d
capital city has witnessed the closing
of the doors of one of her banks.
A prominent Adventist of Indiana
says the crisis which overshadows Tur-
key portends the end of the world
Possibly it may so far :;as the, Turkish
government is concerned. Its race
seems to be about rum. but the old,
world will wag on just the same, even
were all the monarchies of Europe to
fall. =.
Washington dispatches announce:
that another scheme is on foot for the
annexation of Hawaii. to the United
States, and that it meets the approval
of President Cleveland. There is
probably about as much truth in the
statement as there is in the announce
ment that Cleveland is a candidate for
reelection.
An exchange remarks "that Amer
lea should not meddle with the settle.
ment of the trouble in Turkey, as it
might violate the principles of the
Monroe doctrine.p This is bosh. The
lives of American citizens are in jeap-
ordy in Armenia, and they are entitled
to the protection of the United States.

Ex-Governor Pennoyer is mentioned
as candidate for the mayoralty of
Portland. Some people may imagine
that he is out OF politics; but he would
make strong candidate for any posi-
tion he may wish-Jacksonville Times.
Pennoyer might make strong candi-
dale as Populist, but never as Dem.
ocrat. Turning trairtors down is the
rule with Democrats at present.
Possibly the fifty thousand men
engaged in producing wool in the
United States have suffered loss by
the reduction Of the duty on wool:
but the 65, 100000 people of the coun.
try have been benefited from one to
ten dollars each in the reduced price
of the WOODEN goods they have lad to
consume. Has not the change been OF
more benefit than detriment?
The rumor published yesterday that
Abdul Hamid had been poisoned,
seems to have been without founda-
tion. Had he been assassinated it
would have caused more complications
in the settlement of the Armenian
and on this account would
have been calamity, but the simple
event of his death would have caused
little sorrow throughout the world.
The imports of foreign wool during
the first nine months of the present
year were about 100000 pounds
greater than during the corresponding
period of 1894. This is pretty good
evidence that American manufacturers
are prospering under the reduced tar
if on manufactured woolens. If they
were not they could not have consumed |
the 100000 pounds of domestic
wool together with 100000 pounds
Of foreign! Evidently the American
are not driven out Of
existence yet. ~,:..
