An ea-tcrn paper of thirty years ago eon tained a paragraph to this effect: '"Kalph Fariiham, the revolutionary vote ran. 10.5 years old, has been an inveterate smoker most of his life. Wo fear tho habit will be the death of him yet. Win. Wilson is sinking a large well in the rear of his new brick, and will put in a lirst class force pump with about 10 feet of hose. which will enable him to throw water nil over his building. It will come handy in "case of tire. When it comes to enterprise, Billy is never behind. Somebody has produced the following calculation: "1-roin a bushel of corn the distiller gets four gallons of whiskey, worth $1(1. The government gets?!. (JO, the farm ergots -10 cents, the railroad gets $1, tho manufacturer gets .ft, tho retailer gets $7 and tho consumer gets drunk.'' Jay Gould lias a controlling interest in three of the main railroad systems of the country. Why is it if ono man can man age so many roads, this great government cannot manage them all ? Can't the nation succcd in keeping soul and body together at a business by which a single individual has made over iflX) .000,000? The attention of the delinquent taxpayers of the co.unty Is called to tho notice of Sher lll' Bolles which appears elsewhere in this issue. He is dettrmiued to collect nil tax es that are delinquent, and those who do not desire costs to bo added and their names to appear in tho papers, should come forward and settle at once. , Should the recently Invented air ship ot V 12- ' FeCnriingtou provo a success, there will be little need of congress fooling with tho tarilF, for the air ship could sail over the custom houses and avoid the payment of duties on imuortcd goods.

Our correspondent at tho capltol writes: "A bill of considerable Importance to Un ion and adjoining counties, is a bill intro duced by Beprosentativo Barnes, of Wal lowa, providing for the division of tho as segment of stock belonging in one county and ranged In another for a portion of tho year. For many years it has been the prac tice of stockmen, especially thoje engaged in sheep hubundry, in the counties ad joining Union, Wallowa, Baker and other portions of Ka-tern Oregon, to drive such stock to llii ir mountain ranges during the summer months, which practice is looked upon by many residents of those counties is a.iin iiibtice. They argue that if the stock is ranged in their portion of the coun ty for a portion of the year, they should pay a just portion of their taxes in that county. To correct this. Representative Barnes introduced the bill." The letter from our regular correspon dent at the capital arrivedtoo late for publi cation in full this week. The following ex tract from it, however, will show that the "ghouls'' are getting in their work: "Sev eral large petitions by the Baker and Union county delegations praying that the sec tion known as the "panhandle'' of Union county, which embraces the Fine Creek milling region, be annexed to Baker county. So far the petitions are not advocated by any number of the heaviest taxpayers, but seem to bear the names of those locally Interest ed in the mutter. It is learned that if the people of that section who pay the taxes desire this change the Union county dele gation will not seriously object, but unless the measure is advocated by those who have financial interests at stake, it will bo fought to tho bitter end. Another bill will undoubtedly b" introduced during the ses sion to annex the northern panhandle of Union county, lying along the Grande Hondo rivet, to Wallowa county. This measure will probably not be opposed by tho Union county delegation, who seem to think that such a move wilt bo doing justice to all concerned." OU3 SOCIAL WORLD.

Ponnoyor's Fossajje is Favorably Kocoivotl. INTEREST RATE TO BE REDUCED- Tho Usury Law and the Mortgage Tax Law Will Probably Romsln To Benefit School Teachers A Ballot Reform Sill. Our letter from Salem having failed to arrive on time we take tho following from tin? Kast Orcgoninn, written by Hon, J. P. Wager: Salkm. Jan. 15. Two joint resolutions were introduced in the somite yesterday by Watldns of Wasco, looking to the co-operation of the state of Washington Willi Ore gon In some legislation of ImiKirtnuco to the state. One of these is in regard to the speedy opening of the Columbia river and the other to the lishing industry in that river. Speaking of the opening of the river a rather remarkable admission was openly made a few days ago by lion. I). P. Thoinp sor, vice president of the Union Pacllic. He said in subs.ance that the railroad cor porations ('lie of which he was a member had .systematically worked for years, and with success, against an open river; that the estimates made by the engineers were immensely too high, made so by the engi neers nt Washington under tho inllucncc of the railroad olllcials and attorneys; that the river could be opened for two million dol lars. nils is no news, perhaps, to some; but it may tend to open the eyes of some to the veal cause of' delay. The railroad cor porations do not want an open river; the engineers and many senators and congress men obey their dictates; and thus for twen ty years have tho people been deceived and defrauded by false pretenses and tools and attorneys of corporations, like Dolph and a subsidized press like the Oregonian, pre tending to servo the people; but in fact serving only the gigantic corporations and monopolists. Everybody almost wants to be railroad commissioner. There urc candidates by the dozens. One of them under tho law must bo a democrat, and the democrats will can cus today to decide who their man will be t. Handler ot jiaKcr anu lunik or i.inn are he leading democratic candidates, with the chances in favor of the latter. To what two republicans this plum will bo giyen is yet uncertain. Waggoner, the present clerk, is a standing candidate, and unless ho gets something he will feel very much hurt. Ho descended two years ago from commission or to clerk of the commission and naturally wants to step back. Fx-scnator Davison of Linn, W.J. Snodgrass of Union, and many others, are also candidates. A bill has been introduced to repeal the law, but it will not be done as there is too much "in it." Up to '1 uesi'ay thirty-one bills had been introduced in the senate and forty-eight in the house, Among these wore live wagon roud hills calling forlD.OOO; but it is doubt ful if any such measure pass nt this session The wagon road business was rather over done two years ago. Tiie Bull Kan water hill provides tor tho issuance b,' the city of Portland of bonds to the amount of $2,500,- 000, but does not exempt them from taxa Hon. A bill will be introduced soon providing for tho erection of a branch insane asylum In Kaslern Oregon. An appropriation of about $150,000 will be necessary for that purpose Not much has been said yet nbout the World's Fair appropriation; but it is almost certain that the appropriation will be small probably not over $."0,000. This will be very poor policy. This amount would af ford us only such a meagre and imperfect exhibition as would bo a damage rather than :i beneiit. The state should appropri ate a larger amount or none at all. Per haps the latter alternative is under all tho circumstances the better policy, ' balum, jan. rne governor s message is n characteristic paper. As is quite gener illy remarked itls "Ponnoycrall through.' The individuality and tho undodging straightforwardness of the man appears in almost every paragraph. The legislature at least tho senate ud journed today (Thursday) at 11 a. m. until Monday morning This is done to allow the state printer to get his work of printing tho large mass of bills sent to him done so that legislators can have them in printed form to refer to before they come up for second reading. 1 intend to do, or help to do, if I can which is very doubtful a little favor to the school teachers of the state while here. Through the manipulations of State Super intendent McKlroy a law was passed at the last session providing that no lirst-grado or second-grado teachers' certificate could be rciiewed. The object of this was to obligo teachers who obtained a second-grado cer tillcatc to next obtain a lirst-grado, and next obtain n "state certificate" or abandon his profession. Hero is the spot in tho woodpile where tho darkey U illy concealed. To obtain a state certificate the applicant must pay to the state board of education e. g., to H. B. McKlroy a fco of $5. Thus in older to fatten tho already well-filled purso of this avaricious olllcinl, tho poor teachors all ovor tho state are deprived of tho right to obtain county certificates more than once, and ure compelled to pay tills fee out of their hard earned wages. This schemo is an outrage upon every teacher in the suite and is as slniiuo'oss a device to wrong iimny for tho sollish bum fit of one man us over wus put in statute form. Democrat met in caucus hist evening and unanimously agreed to cast their votes for Barney Goldsmith fur United Status sena tor. This is a deserved compliment to Mr. Goldsmith for his able services as chairman of the domocratio state contntl committee, I Solictor Loonoy yesterday introduced the the ballot reform bill, as prepured by tho bullot reform leacue of Orvgon substan tially the Australian yusn. lite believed that It will pass, as li ought to. nil parties jiuving dcelup;! in tlnir platforms in its favor Senator Do lsun of Baker wauls six clerks for his engrossing i ommittc. This docs not look much like economy mid rctreiicliit'tnt The last week of the session lie needs them, but not till then, and the senate did wrong in allowing them now. The lirt judicial district wants an addi tional judge, according to a bill being intro duced in the house. The joint resolution that United Slates senators bo elected by a direct voto of tho people rejected in the house two years ano has now passed that body, and was con curred In by the senate. Cross of Clackamas, by request of tho far mers of that county, he said, introduced a bill to abolish the state boa.d ot horticulture. Belated Christianity. liMToi; Okhoos Scout: Another instance of the hick of some thing to say from the pulpit, is shown In a serinonjof Hev. W. J. Hughe, of this city, preached several weeks ago. A text was chosen In the opening of services, and tor several minutes the gentleman tried dih gently to find something to say in regard to tho matter, but it seems it was too much for him, for as the wind shifU'th, so shitted he from his text to a spirited lecture on the bad traits, and early ei lines of Ingersoll. lngersoll, in his way of putting thinus was an outcast from civilized society nearly a murderer with an indictment for a ter rible crime still hanging over his head; he would he tried, and probably imprisoned for a long term, if he ever dared to show himself in a ilty called Harrisburg, lib-. uois, for, as tho minister complacently remarked, it was Harrisburg Illinois Hint formed tho starting place for Inger soll's law career, and it was Harrisburg, Illinois that was once the scene of a mid night flight of B. G. for threatening to kill a man. Oh, no! lngersoll could never come back to that, city, for tho warrant was still out for him, and ho would bo arrested on sight. Tho following letter from the county judgo of Saline county, 111., of which Har risburg is the seat, shows how little tho reverend gentleman knew about the sub ject in hand: n.untisnuiti,. Ill,, Jan. 1L 1891, Mr. Bert. W. Huil'nian, Union. Or., Deai: Sin: Your favor of filli inst, at hand. It. G. lngersoll never lived in this city, but lie did live in this county and once when here, ho was near where some other fellows were quarrelling, and became in volved in a quarrel with it man who threat ened to kill lngersoll, 15. G. 1. drew his knife, and tho quarrel then stopped. The grand jury was then in session, and lnger soll was indicted, but the indictment was at onooquushod. A. G. AnxnY, County Judge The vituperative epithets applied to Ingersoll's private character were merely intended to mislead people, and place that man in a false light before their eyes. His reputation cannot be tainted by such means, and It Is only for the cause of right and ltistiee that I went to the trouble of addressing the Honorable County Judgo of Saline county, III. Had I been a church member, 1 would have done the same thing for every man has a right to know about such things, and never will know tho truth if they depend on such sources as those limiting tales often quoted in the pulpit. B. W. HUFFMAN. Tho Pulpit and tho Stage. Bev. F. M. Shrout, Pastor United Ilreth crn (jiiurcn, nine juounii, Kan., says: 'I feel it my duty to tell what wonders Dr. tving s .mv Discovery mis done tor oio. My lungs were badly diseased, and my parishioners thought 1 could live only a few weeks. I took live bottles of Dr. King's New Discovery and am sound and well, gaining) lbs, in weight. Arthur Love, Manager Love's Funny Folks Combination, writes: "After a tho rough trial and cnnvinclng evidence, I am confident Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, beats 'em all, and cures when everything fails, Tho greatest kind ness I can do my many thousand friends is to urge them to try It."
