TnE Sunday Welcome, of Portland his now changed hands, aud imme diately assumes a new tone, aad the 8;art its new publishers have taken Wduld indicate that it was about to assume a very respectable position in Oregon journalism. Tut flood en the lower MuM-uippi has been ot a lnoio terrible nature than ever was known before. Levies have been swept away, and the loss -A life andprapeity especially in Mississippi and Arkansas has b.-eu perfectly fear ful. There is considerable doubt wheth er tke Sunday law can be enforced in San Francisco. That city has be come too deeply steeped in sin to be influenced much by .such law, so it may be expected that amusements, etc. will be continued in tho same fla grant manner a3 of old. Gex. Rosecbaxs has been elected Chairman of the Democratic Cjugres sional Campaign Committee. The choice ia a good one and we bate tea ton to believe that our next presidential tUSlpaiga will be conducted in a master ly manner.

PoaTLAM Keiublican are trying t ) create a boora for "Dr. J. M. F. B.-owae, M. D., LLD, Medical Di re jfcor cf the Ancient Order of United Workmen, and Professor of Physiology ia the Medical Department of the Wil lamette University," who wants the nomination for State School Superin tendent. It won't work; there's too mach title there to suit the average Oregonian. He will have to take a back seat. o nit i iu n It i ofteu ttsked, what dilfercnco is there between, u "straw bidder" anil a "star router." Wo nrawer that there ia no ditroronoo in principle. Both aredoUberate robbers of govern ment fands. For many yoars it has boon tho custom far leading mail contractors to have fit bond a con venient tool iu the character of a rascal to act M a straw bidder. His straw bod agent Is usually it sharp nun, ono that knows no law except to break it. Ho puts in his bid ac cording to his contract with tho prin cipal bidder, but never intends to perfect it. Tho contractors proper put iu their bids well up aud for all tho government can .stand. To pre vent under bidders from taking the contract the straw bidder steps in and secures tho contract. Now the manipulation comes In. Tho straw bidder give a small bond like all other bidders to take Hie contract if It ia awarded to him. But when the matter is clear boiweow himself and the highest bidder tho straw bidder neglects to perfect the contract and refuses to take It, pays his forfeit and throws tho contract Into tho hands of his friend ami receives his Ave, tenor fifteen thousand doli:trs,as the caso may be, for his rascality, and gets out of tho way. Tho highest bidder now takes (he contract. Straw bid thieves are tho most persi dent raiders on tho public! funds in an in direct way that the government Is cursed with. Though they are cheep there b not an honest impulse in the whole business. This black-mailing schemo worked M well that theso leeches ou the puplic treasury con- ceived tho Star Uouto plan to rob the government iu a more thorough man uer. Wo have the plan. For In stance, if a contract was let for a week, ly mail, at the proper time thereafter petition would be framed and pre sented to the department officers pur porting to come from residents on the particular route askiug for a tri-weekly or daily mail over the same route. This proposition Was considered by the proper officers, who might have been iu the interest of the applicant ornotenougU in the interest ol bis employer, and tho contract was re duced at oam le a t ri-weekly or daily route. Tiio price far carrying the mail was tlxcJ accordingly. If the weekly route was carried fjr live thousand dollars per year, the tri weekly would be rtisod u-ut:!y to three times that sum; if a daily route was established the increase would be in the same proportion, llmto wcre raised in this way all over the uountry. Some few of them were meritorious, but millions of dollars have been tuken from the L. a.'. Trea suiy in this way ou routes that should never be other than weekly routes. In all theao eases the straw bMder and sUr r:ute schemers have claimed law enough to protect them, it faf so with all dishonest contractor-', but it is plain to be seen that it was a WW organized plan to rob the government. There is no difference between the straw bid thief and the star route crlmiual aud the government is rec reant to its duty If It doca not pun ish both alike. Like Guitcau they should have their busts taken that future generations miy see tho de lectable mugs of those Terxoionco which our country is removing from its body, and which begin with it in a small way, but which has grown now so large that it takes the whole power of the government to arrest their progress. The.se men are con. stantly locking out for office or con tracts. The San Francisco Bulletin speaks a.- follows of the remarks made by E. II. Autenreith at the recent anti Chinese demonstration : Fi. H. Autenreith of Jacksonville, Or., by his short address, put tho shivering populace in good humor He pledged them that Oregon was in unison with them on the Chinese question, although it had not arrived at the alarming crisis that it has here. When the tiim for actien ar rived they would put their trust in God and their haads ou tho musket an 1 flintlock. The floods in tho Mississippi have continued tl.ei." devastating career with, out any abatement, iaund tting villages and broking lovees, regardless of coa- equencas. At Vic'bar tho water was 03 feet above the mirk of 18G7. Wednesday noon it wa reported that the river was going down at the head waters, but whether it will continue or not is a matter in the hands os the ele ments. The: Omaha strike is over and the troaps have all b?en withdrawn. The cimpanies refused to take baok any of the men who struck voluntarily, aud have filled their placet with pew m,en. This has termihated the way such things generally end. The strikers came over S3Cond best an 1 lost their position be sides. The star route thieves have scored another point. Col. W. A. Cook, special attorney in the prosecution of the cases against them, has withdra wn I because the prosecution receives no en couragemenb from the administration, and there is no chance for sec titan1' justice waile Arthur is President. The dispatches state that it is fear ed President Arthur will veto the Chinese bill. If ho does, there will b3 no u. c in the immortal 30G open ing a recruiting offco on this Coast.

Demon tt I wish to mako a few roinnrks con cerning the coming election, and ac knowledging your liberality and btir iiosh iu publi .liiiig what your Hulmn ib ers may lutve to ofl'jr upon topics of goiieral inUm-nt, Without ceremony, I will at once proceed to tho matter I have in thought. The coming election in DBABy roipiOtf will dilbr I10111 any we have had in Oregon for years, and especially will this bo the case l!i Iliu Cjuii' v. The tendency of th'i tiui.i is to di te l e th distinction of party lin:i, and iu Oregon thesu tondoiieie.-t uro moulding oonaia ruble Houtiinent in tboif fav.ir. Win th or a dissolution of pnrtv di dinetion, or a bolt of any particular eh m eit in n convention, or ut an elects m, hiiiii.lv because it, is ni-i siron nr nnm -rous enough to control things iu a .1 '.anci with its own iewtt, would be for the public's M04 or not, it i, n rjy ,,tir posu to discuss ; but one thing it DM tain, that many of th local ism. 1 which are dis'.ractiug tho party leaders, HUOh as are mbfeoad Ifl the nn'.i-m u apoly movement, in the clamor for a leduotlon of intrrivtt to six and eight par t ent, and prohibition, are isouM, the tabjeot of legidUtloii, and pittt i will ' doro lict in duty to their eonsttUionov if tbev nil to engraft thorn into theit platform as part of their political cretxl. Party Ofganiation, uulu.s too much under the dictatiou of combinations and rings, is unquestionably tlm b -it ntcth od for securing goo.l and eflic ient oMicrs ltd pure el nio:is, and when the se side issues arn in- ' I Bpnn, irrosjMMSttta of party alliliation, though tho principtof in tho main may bo meritorious, and it carried into oticct will be tho re nit ol Uteat go I t lli p.ib'.ic gene-.dly. yet, in '.ho hands of unscrupsilmi and M ugniug men, they are made the itn'.iu meats of accouiplisldug the OJOftt :!ii emery and low trickery ever piste'. iced ui polities. It is lb- kuowo-1 ,' i of these fi Is which prompta mo to write this OOfli muniaatieu to warn the bOSOSl and eon scieutious Vtt-rs of bjth i.artieS that they may le on tbir guard tliat they may ajt bo caught by anv of these le signing "Siptirrcl h.a b 1 h:i-I in v. l rate oliicu seeking politicians." The cause of lemMrancfl has a firm hold iu tbo mind of the people, ami temperance organize lions are activrly at work t OOMIllilh sjinu kind of legtjilwtion which khall put 4 sKp to this accursed liottOff trailio ; but even in this koly and righteous cansu some of tbee chronic ollice euukers have already shown the oloteu fit by uyini; to make th- tt-mpoi lines maehin ?ry notou r sent to llu-ir own neltlsh g randUciucut. A few patriotic and BOfl scientious temperance people conceive the idea of forming a leWMNttK -ajrgeo-niistion. The Uoa hardly takes hhape when iu rush these political sharks, and with the aid of a few of their follow era as cunning and designing as th-m dvc, aud a b-w bide bound and tyllish farm tics, gut control of the tus'.itutioK, and then organic and work its machinery to accomplish their own political schemes. In the call foi the Uaa 'oun y yTmiersace Alliance it woe tsuto.1 tbap It was nst tta purjKMe to furtu a Sep arsto party, but to devise means to pro mote the cause of temperance by indue ing the od pditical parties to place Umperance men on their tickets. Tke Alliance mot ; there were reprosenta lives from all parts of tho county. In regard to the persons in attendance it was uoticeabli! that with a few excep tions they were of tho ultra portion of the torajsTance element in th j count;-. From such an assembly one would tup pose that no measure could bo to the extreme ; that such a class of men were independent and meant business ; but, "for tricks that are d irk and ways that ere vain" the alHsVWt under the manip ulation of otU :e seekers wa "peculiar." The first resolution passed which indi cated the temper of tho assembly was to tho effect that the members of the Alliance, when they met at the pi ims ry meetings of their roepectivo p.trii . would use their host endeavor to nom inate unpledged, pronounced, tried teuiM-iauco man lo represent tlieir re spective precincts in the coming Con Volitions. K i far, so geo 1 ; thu was in accordance with the call, and no reas onable man could find fault, not even the wkisky element ; if they are not go ing te carry the temperance war further than the primary meetings, any person with e grain of practical souse who has over had any experience iu tyditio would tell you at once that such a reso lution reasonably well prosecuted, wiih tho facilities which temperance people have, would bo rightly naursd "a lit tie vflervescont gush worthy of old women and school children." Another member thinkiug that Mich a resolution would not ctfcci anything permanent in behalf of temperance, and probably thinking that a body of men so pronounced and radical in their, opin ions would be ready to adopt any meas ure to promoto the cauo of toaipsranco short of making tho crime of selling li quor punishable with death, introduced another resolution in substance as fol lows : "That tho members of tho Alli ance pledge themselves that they will not vote for any person, irroapcotive of previous party associations, in primary or convention, or in general elections, either slate, county or municipal, unless he was a man of known and acknowl edged temperance proclivities' It was moved and seconded that the resolution pass ; this eras done, howevar, 17 two of the honest, simple minded members whose hearts and souh were earntutly eagaged in the good cause, but who were not initiated into the secret pro gram to bo carried out by tho riug of poouliar and uncertain ways. When tho motion was fairly before the house up jumps ono of the membrrs, and in a mild and bland manner said that the resolution was one of mighty import ance, and that perhaps it would be bat ter to ba laid on the table, miking a motion to that effect, which was prompt ly carried with the assistance of the faithful, greatly to the chagrin and sur prise of tho disciple of Blackstone who introduced it. lie afterwards said he "never was so completely set down up on ia hit life,'' and as he walked down the street was heard to mutter to him self, "God Almighty only knows what a petit jury or a temperance society is capable of doing." Oar legal friend is to be excused for his simplicit', wheu we ooaiider that ho has been a member of this reform movement for only about six months, and is not familiar with their sedactive and peculiar ways. But th ) strangest feature of it all is, that the person who ma 1 1 up the record of he Alliance preceding never made mention of tho resolution, ?tor hmt it been ubU$hiid or mnU known to the r,onntttunt that f!i! AUianr.it refused to 'ixm nucha remtfutntu. Tlm way 1 carno to learn of it was through a fnond, a member of the Alliance, who oxprossod huuaelt that the resolution was a good one p od would do inoro to induco the old partial to put ,um temperance rnon than say thing else. 1y)t it be general I y un derstood that tho tomperanco people will only vote for temperance men, aud the parties in self-defense will be com pelled to comply with their wishes. It is tho history of all political parties that they generally make platforms end pi '.' men in rumination who will sicute laooem, but the men who were manipu lating that Alliance wore not so much iu favor of the causo of temperaace as they were iu promoting thwit own inter ests. Whuu I infoirn You that of tin 1 numbsr two wore candidates for County OUrk Oil the Republican ticket, (and otto of them was the orson who n.adu up thu records or the meeting in whioh were Muppressod th j resolution just men tion ui; and ono candidate for Sin-rid' on the same ticket, end numerous candi dates for State Konators, and Repre sentatives, in fact for most all the coun ty offiOM in the gift of tho people, you will net wonder a tL ir passing a reso lution, "tint if the two (Militical con venlious do not nominate temperance men for the various olKces to bo filled, we will select our own men and pledge outsohes to support them.
