A Washington dispatch says that not

The subject of good roads of late years
has been much discussed, and w e are
glaJ that it received favorable attention
at the hands of the recent legislature.
There is no one thing of greater import
ance than good wagon roads, and any
sum is not too great to be wisely ex
pended. Roads have been constructed
at an expense of $25,000 per mile in
some parts of the world for miles and
miles and the result has been invariably
of benefit. While such a sum expended
in this section is bath impracticable and
unnecessary, it is of the highest im
portance to avail ourselves of the amount
appropriated by the legislature to the
West possible use. Those roads over
which the most wheat and farm produce
and the most supplies are hauled, are
the ones to be considered, since the
amount is not munificent enough to
cover all. The road leading to Pnfur
and Antelope to the top of Tygh hill are
probub'.v the most important of any to
be considered. At present travel that
requires these roads is obliged to come
around by Tiggs, a great inconvenience
amounting to a larj-e loss. In the course
oi' a year the actual loss resulting from
bad rjads will amount to more than the
euni that would lie required to make
them good.
Hawaii, the present subject of
much discussion and interest, affords
one of the most striking examples of the
results of missionary effort. In 1819,
when the first ministers of the gospel
reached its shores they found a people
without an alphabet and without natu
ral affections. Three-fourths of the
children born died by the hands of their
own parents. Through vice and super
stition once vigorous race was fast
decaying. Not even in Africa was there
a Heid so hopeless. Today there is not
a native, possessing ordinary intelli
gence, who cannot read and write. In
its day schools are gathered a larger per
one's thoughts going ; for instance, the
following sentence: Not the rising and
the setting of the sun, but our ex
periences, gives the true seuse of dura
tion." A million of men have tried to
express the same thought. Not one of
them has ever expressed it exactly be
fore. Not one has used less than twice
that number of words in trying to ex
press it. The whole Bpeeeh, w hile sim
ply a response to words of welcome, was
complete. Through it all there is not
the slightest sign of disapointment, and
the tone of it gives particular emphasis
to the closing words, wherein he says :
"I left you with but one certainty, and
I return with that certainty, that 1 had
no other motive in roy heart than the
honor of the flag, the sacredness of the
constitution and the prosperity of all
our people." In whatever else General
Harrison may be weak or wrong, certain
it is that he has no etjual in our country
in delivering impromptu and perfectly
appropriate speeches, co matter what
the occasion may be. If he has estab
lished oue thing more than any other in
the nearly five years since ho became
the most prominent figure in the United
States, it is that there never was any
thing so misappropriate as the idea that
his head was r.ot big euonirh for his
j grandfather's hat. That grandfather,
so in tne tiays oi ms greatest giory, was vai
a pigmy, compared to the grandson.

apparent that they will wait some time

remember that when Cleveland was
president cifc'ht years ago he did not
make any effort to turn out the republi

unless they were convicted of "perni

bitter against the democratic party. It
is also well to remember that nearly all ;

One of the important bills that failed
to pass the late congress was that for

railroad to be built to the rich mining

been before nearly every session of con
gress a proposition looking to the grant-
j ing of a right of way from the Northern
Pacific road to the Cook county district,
bat so far every bilf has failed. It is
possible that something ought to be
done, and now it seems that there is

not be necessary te segregate any portion
of the Yellowstone Park. It has always

agree, without regard to their past con

whatever that idea may be, is j iit what
this country needs. Some fun has been
poked at the democrats now in Wash

as Lotan was appointed collector of the
port of Portland only a little while ago,
that Cleveland will not take into ac
count the fact that a republican served

The question of the suppression of in
decent literature is one which should
interest, and demand the active co-operation
of every right-minded citizen in
the land. The corporal and mental
well-being of the generations yet to
come, and those growing up, is imperilled
by the noxious scourze, and the sooner
prompt and effective measures are taken
to utterly eradicate it, the sooner will
the great nation to which we belong
take its place in the front rank of sturdy,
moral, progressive peoples. Chicago,
not often the pioneer in works of this
character, is at present waging a war of
extermination against the publishers
and venders of immoral works and
prints. The crusade in the Lake city is
not led by cranks or enthusiasts, but by
the press and the thoughtful fathers and
mothers of the city, by the mayor and
moei of the distinguished scholars of the
western metropolis. Indecent literature
is doing more to sap the character of the
rising generation and fit it for vile tastes
and vile practices, sensuality, grossness
and corruption, than all other evil in
fluences combined.

mittee, in the remarks which he is pre

city recently, he had tiie pleasure of a
half hour s chat with the great Grover
and Secretary Whitney. He is more of
the a Cleveland man than ever since his

the about his calling on the president. It
seems he was oue of many who were
waiting to see the president, and as the
crowd was very large, Mr. Iloherts be
gan to consider his chances for an inter
view as very slim ; finally a bright idea
struck hiin, and pencilling on a card his
name, followed by the legend, "Presi
dent of the Hood P.iver Tariff Keform
club," he tent it in and followed it a
moment later. It was the "open se
same." The president was much in
terested in Oregon, speaking particu
larly of its wool industry. Secretary
Whitney was present and also showed
keen interest in all matters pertaining
to this part of the union. Glacier.

As much sport as Oregon has over the
eccentricities of her governor, Pennoyer
can give McGraw pointers on common
sense.
The secretary of state has estimates
showing that the appropriation for
the state institutions are lower, per
capita, for the estimated number of in
mate during the next two years than
the lowest per capita expense ever
reached in Oregon. That this is low
enough it proved by the fact that Ore
gon 't per capita expense, hitherto, has
been lower than the average of the other
etatet of the union, and lower than that
of any other ctate of the Pacific tlope.

a journey which the was compelled to
