gress will grant no relief to the
treasury by passing financial bill
The one introduced was defeated in
the house yesterday, and the ceuntry y
must look to the Republican party to
guide it out of the muck aud mire,
financially and otherwise, into which
it has been lead by the Democracy.
Queen Lii. the dethroned monarch
of the Sandwish islands, has been ar
rested for completely in the recent out
break. There is no doubt that the
queen still has an ambition to govern
the natives of Hawai- according to her
own sweet will and pleasure; but Pres
Ident Dale is in possession of the ex-
ecutive chair, and is able to maintain
his position.
The war cloud is drifting awav that
was lowering over Mexico and Guate-
mala for some time past, and negotia--
tions are progressing between these
nations with indications that peace
full solution will be had of their pres
ent difficulties. The orient is doing
fighting enough for the balance of the
world, and the west should be tranquil
for time.
Gov. Morrill, is right ia admonishing
the people of Kansas that they cannot
expect 10 restore their impaired credit
if they leave laws on their statute
books which discriminate againstlend
ers by making 1t possible for borrowers
to delay the collection of debts for two
or three years. Such a policy drives

The editor of the Wasco Nescs says
the Republicans of Sherman county
do not want DoIpb; but Sheriff
Holder, who was elected last June,
says large majority of the Republi-

Senator Dolph. The Repu blican sher-
IF is better acquainted with Republi-
can sentiment in his county than the
Democratic editor of the Nesos, be-
cause he has had more opportunities to
Judge of the status of the people.

Sometimes, when one
is in pessimistic mood, he is inclined
10 believe that the rig hts of labor in
this republic are not clearly defined.
The senatorial contest at Salem pre-
sented no very novel features today.
With the exception of Mr.. Cooper,
who changed to Hermann today for
reasons only known to himself, Mr..
Dolph's friends are as firm as ever,
md undoubtedly will remain 30 to the
md of the session. To retreat from
