CONsULA1ION IN DEFEAT.

The vanquished in the recent
national campaign certainly can find
some consolation in the result of the
election, for while they have been over
whelmingly defeated, light begins to
dawn upon them where party lines
will be drawn in the future. In this
campaign two great parties have been
created. The old democratic and re-
publican parties have virtually been
annihiliated, and new party of the
people, and one of the favored classes
have come into existence, under what
ever banner they will rally in the
future, this is the way they will be
designated.
In this campaign the classes, the
corporations, the trusts, the syndicates
have arrayed themselves on the one
side, while the producers have gener-
ally been found on the other. The
classes have predominated over the
masses, and for the coming four years
will have charge of the government.
: In the result the masses, though de-
fsated, can find consolation. In times
past the democratic party has been re.
cognized as the PARTY of the common
people, though it has of late years been
predominated over by the rich men of
q few Of the Eastern states. When
those who have been leaders found the
people had taken the management of
the party ut of their hands, they de:
serted the old party, and either
sought to establish new party or
went to the support Of the opposition.
Hence the lines have been most closely
drawn, and in the future those who
style themselves national democrats
will find no place except in the ranks
of the republican party, while the
Bryan democrats. populists and what
are termed silver republicans will
unite in gfapd and powerful party
under the leadership and name of q
party that will be composed OF the

AN OPEN RIVER.

AN OPEN RIVER.
The hope OF Eastern Oregon hes at
last been realized. The great locks at
the Cascades OF the Columbia are COM
pleted, and from this point we have On
open river to the sea. The commerce
of the world can now reach US. The
Dalles is the head Of navigation on the
Columbia river, hence must take prece:-
dence over all other points east of the
Cascade mountains In commercial i'm
portance until further improvements
are made so that boats can pass around
the Celelio falls. This We trust will
be speedily accomplished, so that all
sections to the east may use this great
waterway to convey their products
even from the Rocky mountains to the,
Pacific ocean. Nature gave this great
waterway to the people. and all that Is
needed that it may be utilized Is that
we improve or nature, or rather re-
move the distinctions that nature-has
put in the way OF mans use of natures
implements for navigation. For this
grand consummation we can only de.
pend upon the generosity of future
congresses for appropriations that will
remove the distractions that now
exist to prevent steamboats, floating
from the headwaters of the Columbia
to the Pacific ocean. But to return to
The Dalles. What are her prospects
since she has virtually been made a
seaport? From now on she will have
terminal rates over all transportation |
lines. She will get the same freight
rates that are extended to Astoria, |
Portland and the cities on Puget |
Sound. Freight from the remotest |
parts of the world win be hauled to or |
away from The Dalles at the same
rates it ia to and from those cities.
That is, wheat, wool and fruit will
command the same price here they do
in those places, and all imported mer-
chandise will be as cheap here as they
are at any place on the Pacific coast,
with terminal rates in all directions.
The Dalles will at once change from
local distribution point, to general
distribution point for the entire Inland
Empire. Wholesale houses will be
established in The Dalles, for the job
ber can supply the retailers of the
interior just as cheap here as they can

be saved the item Of transportation
between Portland and this point.

A woman 10 proving an active factor
in the Cuban revolution and should
the revolutionists succeed in over
throwing Spanishsrule in their beauti-
full island. among the first to receive
substantial gratitude Tor aid and COM
fort will be Senorita Leonor Perez ae
la Riva, of Santiago de Cuba. The
senorita is practically the only writer
In Cuba who has dared to defy the
government. For years she has been
writing stirring songs and poems, all
designed to keep up the courage of
her countrymen. She was born Just
twenty years ago in Santiago de Cuba,
where she has resided almost con.
tinuously ever+since. Her verses and
songs, nearly all touching upon her
beloved native island, and filed with
the tenderest yet strongest patriotism,
are known everywhere in Cuba, and
the sparkling-eyed daughter OF the
tropics Is n of the most admired
Cuban women.
Some of her latest verses, dedicated
to the cause Of the revolution, have
been pronounced sediteus by the
government censOrs, and the pretty
senorita has been threatened with
imprisonment but she has a bravo
heart and declared her intention to
continue to write it's promptings.

TO COTTON
Good Advice and Good Wishes From
an Unfamiliar Source.

oouASCs H--
New York Mad and Express.
The city of Memphis will be the
scene, on January 81, of another i'm
portant demonstration of the American
Cotton Growers Protective Associa-
tion, an organization which was called
into existence by the manipulation of
the cotton market spectators, and
which did good service for the planters
last year by bringing about a consider
able reduction of acreage and a conse.
queEt increase in the price of the
staple. The leaders in the Association
claim to have discovered that the
cotton bears are circulating reports of
the growers intention to enormously
increase the acreage and extend the
use of commercial fertilizers during
the coming season, which would result
in a crop of from 10000, 600 to IL, OOO,-
600 bales. These reports, 1t is alleged,
are circulated without any foundation
OF fact, and In order that the Southern
people may be induced to sell the
balance of the crop on hand at present
unsatisfactory figures. The object of
the approaching meeting is to arrange
for q moderate decrease of acreage, on
the principle that the planter will be
better off with a crop of from 1000, 900
to 1900 600 bales, selling at 10 to IL
cents, than with q 10, 900, 900 bale crop
selling at 5 to 6 cents.
The planters naturally regard the
bears of New York, New Orleans and
Liverpool as their natural foes, and
propose henceforth to be masters of the
situation and controllers of their own
property. They repudiate political in
%fiuences, and by invitations to all agri-
cultural societies to participate in their
deliberations take the surest means of
counteracting any disastrous conse-
quences to the cotton-growing belt by
~devoting unused cotton acreage to the
growth of other crops.
1t is hardly to be expected that the
cotton manufacturers not directly as
ISOLATED in interests with the planters
will view with complacency this con-
tinued ag~gressiveness on the part of
the association. But we are bound 10
recognize the justice of their attitude,
when we remember that it ia In line
with thai Southern reawakening which
promises 30 much as q factor In our
national prosperity, and that the South

u commercial advancement to which

first capitalization Of the spirit born of

RAILROADS RI

VIII Ask or Bsandamus.
Columbia Register.
The RAILROADS eeem bent on their
determination to mako an issue with
tho State on the fertilizer rate matter.
~ was learned yesterday that not q
single road had put into effect tho
rates as recently promulgated by the
board, but On the contrary all of them
were absolutely refusing TO obey the
law, notwithstanding demands had
been made ON them to do 80. This is
the time OF the year when fertilizers
are moved heaylly'and IL is of,great inn
portance to shipper as well as buyer
that the reduced railroad rate should
be obtained.
The refusal OF the roads to put the
new schedule into effect means, OF
course, war between them and tho
Commission and in'the end there can
be but one result.
The Commission has only one way to
enforce their regulations and that is
through the courts. A mandamus can
be taken out against the roads and in
case 1t Is shown that they have will
fully violated the rules of the Com.
mission, they are liable to "a fine OF
$1,000 at the least for each %offense. The
fine may be increased to S5, 900.
Che Attorney General will maze to
take the frat steps in the matter and
tho Commission has already pp6 the
facts in his possession and some action
viii be taken at an early date. The
Railroad Commission has received a
number OF complaints as to the roads
refusing to put in operation the new
schedule.
Some days ago it was announced
that the Manchester and Augusta
Road had applied to Judge SimOnton
for an order of injunction against the
Commission. The matter was to come
up on the 2lst inst, it was said. AS
sistant Attorney General Townsend,
who has been to Charleston, inquired at
the clerks Office and was informed that
no such papers had been filed in his
office: The Commission has been serv-
ed with no papers and the whole
matter Is In q curious condition. II an
order of injunction is to be argued 1t
ought to. be with the Clerk of the
Court. In q few days some legal steps
will be taken which will end in having
the question in dispute settled one
way or the other.

The Seaboard Air Line will on the
2 inst, 1t is stated, take off it's reg

answer the same purposes as the train

The Journal of Inebriety estimates
the total number of drunkards in
America at 1000, 900. There being
about twenty-five millions Of adults in
this country, this means that one per-
son out of every fifteen drinks to excess,
and Ia consequently more or less of q
drunkard. The Journal thinks that
this estimate Is a very modest one,
and rather under the mark than above
it.

The way to correct this condition Is
to improve the digestion. The condi-

harm than good because 1t ferments
