SOUTHERN SCARE OVER.

| Ever since the reconstruction era, the
spectre Of negro domination has kept
the South solid. 1t was the cry which
rallied all the whites to the Democraac
standard. irrespective Of the merits OF
the issues involved In the campaign,
The attempts to pass federal election
laws. TO checkmate the known corrup-
ton at the polls, were interpreted to
mean a return to negro rule, and the
scare was thus perpetuated on the
force hill,"
But the evidences are clear this year
that the intelligent portion OF the
Southern people have recovered from
their scare, When the whites OF Ala
blIna recovered control OF the state and
adopted a new constitution. they chang
ed the time Of electing state officials
from November to August. in order TO
escape the presence OF federal officials
at the polls. In his recent message TO
the legislature. Governor Oates urges
NAasN1 wv NASNAANAS a NSaA every NNhSN
year are too many. and advises a con-
.solidation OF the state election with that
for federal officials in November.
Recalling the fact that fear OF federal
interference was the cause Of the
change made in 1870, he says that the
federal election laws were repealed
three years ago. and now no reasona-
BILE person apprehends their re-enact-
ment, or the passage by congress OF a
force BILL a bill providing for a
consolidation of elections has been in
troduced in the legislature, and it will
probably become a law.
II will be remembered that the people
OF Florida, in October, by an over
whelming majority. ratified a constitu-
tional amendment changing the time OF
their state election to November. show
ing that they. too, no longer have any
fear of force bill. These are cheering
indications, for they mark the deca-
dence of the old sectional feeling in the
South That feeling has long since
ceased to cut any figure in the politics
Of the North. and its disappearance in
the South will bring into that section
the Northern enterprise and capital
which II so much needs.

by the use OF Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Pei

than many medicines which are so

country, to interfere in the Cuban diii.
Guilty, not to secure the independence
Of the revolutionlsts, but rather TO aid
the Spanish authorities to recover CON
troll OF the island, Ii Is true that Span
sh rule in Cuba has not been exactly
the highest ideal of government, but 1t
has probably been quite as good as the
Spanish themselves enjoy In Madrid,
The Spanish style OF doing anything Is
not calculated to invite emulation on
the part OF other civilized people, II
the United States should intervene to
put an end to the rebellion, Il could
be easily stipulated that future rule in
Cuba should more nearly conform to
the customs and ideas OF nineteenth
century civilization. So far as the prop
osition Of annexation Of Cuba to this
country is concerned. there is reason 90
believe the favor Il inspires in certain
sections OF the South is not due so much
10 pity for the condition Of the Cubans
as it is to the desire Tor commercial and
political advantage

It must be plain to the most casual
observer that now is the time for the
erection in this city of central marke;
for the use of the farmers Of Clatsop,
Pacific and Wahkiakum counties. II
must be equally evident that large prof
its will ensue to the business men Of
this city, as well as the farmers. by
the establishment of such a market
When a large city like San Francisco
finds it necessary to add another i'm
mense general market to its resources,
it must be apparent that not only has
market day and the market house not
gone out Of style, but that they are
more than ever matters of necessity in
any community. 1t would seem to be
incumbent upon our city council, or
chamber of commerce, or both, to take
such action as will insure the locating
of a general market in Astoria

ABSOLUTELY RE

Two characteristics of Lord Randolph
Churchill were his very painful and
free use ot bad language and his as
siduity. He never knew anything even
of simple arithmetic which is possibly
why he was made chancellor Of the eN-
cheQuer. Sir Algernon West tells how
Randolph said TO a clerk who put some
figures before him. II wish YOU would
put those tigurss plainly so that l can
understand them" and when the clerk
said he had done his best and reduced
them TO decimals, the chancellor OF the
exchequer exclaimed: "oh, l never
could understand what those dots
meant"

Carroll Cook, a candidate for superior
court Judge in San Francisco, at the
recent election, was the object Of spe-
cial attack by the American Railway
Union because he conducted the prose
eution Of railroad striker, accused of
numbering an engineer and several
United States soldiers in 1894 by caus-
ing railroad wreck. The appeal
against law and order did not avail.
Judge Cook received large vote, larg-
er, in fact. than that given any other
candidate for superior judge with one
exception. a very popular man running
on the non-partisan ticket.

regard to city warrants being refused

against the theater hat. The women
rebeled at first and declared they would
not obey it, but when II came to the
test they submitted gracefully, and now
everything Is lovely. There are more
women seen at the theaters at New Or
leans this season than ever before, and
they all take off their hats to the new
law. This Is hopeful.

The official showing that India is not
a competitor for our grain export bust
ness because her grain crops are de-
clining. and because she has now not
enough wheat for her own use. is fol-
lowed by an official statement that the
people OF India are too poor to buy the
wheat that has been shipped to them
TO supply their deficiency. This shows
the beauties of the silver standard,
which the Popocrats were so eager to
have adopted.

The dispatch in yesterdays Oregonian
giving an account Of the murder Of
Spanish soldiers in Havana by organ
lied civilians. shows what kind Of peo-
pie the insurgents are. The fact is too
much sympathy has been wasted in the
United States over the "braye" strug-
gle these rebels are making. Fully
three-fourths of the men now in arms
are fulI-bIooded negroes and mulattos.
They are utterly unfit for self-govern-
ment, and if they should obtain their in
dependence, unless the island were an
nexed to the United States in few
years they would inevitably relapse in
TO barbarisIn. It would, indeed, be an
act Of humanity on the part Of this
