tal lessons as well at some thing hard
to satisfactorily explain.
The variation in prices for cattle showt
a wonderful difference, owing to quality.
Th highest price In th report at hand
i fG.40. Few tell at this price, or even
at any price, within a dollar ot this. A
considerable number, however, sell at
from 4.50 to f A much larger num
ber, not counting inferior slock, tell at
from 3.23 to 14. Oue fact will never b
aatisfactorily explained to feeders, and
that is why good cows and heifers should
sell at mocb lower prices than do steers
f similar quality. At present f1.50 is
bizh price for a ccw or a heifer of
teallv good quality. Calve sell at lower
prke than good fat rattle. Many in
fcrior cattle are being forwarded now,
did selling as low as $1 per 100 pounds.
Tbe quotations of price for "cannert'
do not inspire one with a great desire to
at canned beef.
Th variation in price for bog is
snach lets than that for rattle. Exclud
ing cells, the greatest difference in price
at report at hand is TO cents per 100
poandt. At present choice heavy bogs
ewtsell tbe best light, rig and verj
fight bog sell at relatively low prices
awrtlv becaoee of eireseiv supplies of
the c!ase.
Xattoa oax lit to be the cheapest meat
fcr consumers. The highest prie quoted
far sheep is $.!.2o per 100 pounds, and
tbe great mas of th sheep forwarded
sj) at considerably less than $3. Lamb
teach a somewhat higher pritje up to I
per 100 posnds in extreme cases. At
Uti season tbe pelt with it fairly grown
woof isaa important factor. Receipt
bare been unusually large. Tbee low
price should stimulate the demand for

Th republicans in congress have noli
thus candidate who were defeated for a
seat in that body, and who are desirous
of contesting the election ot their oppon
ents, that they must rely upon th just
ness ot their individual causes, and not
upon th overwhelming republican
majority. Thla is perfectly right and
proper. It is a pity that Mr. Kate, th
lat republican candidate for governor ot
California, did not gang his conduct by
that same rule. Had b don so he
would not hav inaugurated a contest
with bis successful opponent. Mr.Ete
may get th office, but If ha doe It will
be because be has th might instead ot
the right on bis side. Th election went
overwhelmingly republican throughout
the state, with th exception ol Mr.
F.ste, and that b was not carried along
with tb tide was hi own fault. A gen
eral suspicion that Mr. Kste was en
tirely too friendly to th Southern Pa
cific was what left Mr. Est in the
shade; that it was and not fraud as he
would now bare th public believe.

A HEALTHY UROWTH OSLT.
There is every indication of a large
migration from 5ebraka, the Dakota
and Kansa this winter and next spring
and Tit doubt a considerable portion of
tha home-seeker will turn their beads
ward Oregon and Washington. That
lb people wbo will leav ar generally
poverty stricken is said to be true. This
"m ao crime and an immigration of people
wbo are poor through failure of crops,
instead of through sbiftleetne I by no
aaeans an onmixed evil. Wasco county
a furnish home for b a ad red a of fam
ilies), bot it want those families to com
ber of their own accord, instead of ba
mg teatpted i.ere by falsa representa
tioe. We want no boom, nor no boom
c&awiGg resident, bat rather that class
I peopte wbo read, consider and reflect
before either leaving th borne they
have or seeking other that they know
naoght of.
We are grow iDg in population steadily,
and that growth is a healthy growth.
Jy all means let .t continue at that.
Kvery winter tha charitably disposed
people, and the charitable societies here
are taxed severely to support a lot of
aww-comer wbo are beiple and shift
lea. Tbe helping band extended to
afar bo are unfortunate, where tick- j
awor accident hav brought an extra
vxprnse, is all right, bot to deliberately J
iasport people wbo are unable to take
car of tbetnselve is the lemi of folly.
A stesdy, healthy growth is all that th
reentry desire, all it requires.
Th Oregoniaa think the ty-atem of
maintaining convicts in tha penitent la
rie a gentlemen; keeping them clad
ia cltixeo clothes, and making trusties
of them a failure, or at least thinks
the system has not proved a suc
cess ia the ttat ot Washington. Rea
soning from tb same premises, all per
sons do not arrive at th am conclo
skms. Sow, it strike ns that th system
condemned by tha Oregoniaa is th
proper one. Th only trouble la Wash
ington was that tb system was not car
ried far enough. It on of th trusties

legislature provide for officering the

KItSISf; FOR KEY E SUE OSLY.
A peculiar soit is pending in New York
state. Miss Mueller gave free kie at
a cborch fcttival for tba benefit of th
chnreb. A fellow with money in bis
pooch attended and b planked down
bis spondalir for a kiss. If got it and
liked it, ai.d kept on paying and kissing
aid ba emptied bis wallet. Thinking
ver the tweetnes and satisfaction of
the ofvulatory performance, La concluded
to marry Miss M. that ba might get bit
kise tree of charge. II proponed, she
aoBBrnted, then be backed and declared
It would not hang bit fortune to a girl
who would dispens her klsse so freely,
va if it was tor church purpose. And
as ther I a rait for damage. Of this
flair tb Washington Post ay: "Al

Kclley, tried in Multnomah eoonty for
tbe murder of George Sayres, is not
proving satisfactory to th public. In

murder. It was that or it was nothing
Tb evidence showed that Keiley de
liberately planned and coolly executed
the murder, and be should have been
foond gniltyct murder ia the first degree.
That or nothing. Tba verdict was sim
ply a compromise forced on seven of tb
urymen by tb other five, for tb seven
either bad to report a disagreement or
els yield. They took into consideration
the expense to tha county of another
trial and finally consented to tba lesser
verdict, a tba best that could ba dona.
It really look as though jurors grow
mora tenderhearted at criminals become
mora hardened, and tha mora aggravated
tha crime, th mora chary tba juror
about seeing tb full penalty Inflicted.
Keiley shoold either ba banged or ac
quitted. General Wad Hampton adrocatet a
system of train protection to railroad
trains against robbers. His idea is
metsengert and shotguns. The remedy
is not in this line. Train robbing will
continue as lor.g as d d fool judges
allow smart lawyers to pull the wool
over the eyes of an ignorant jury. When
the punishment is mada certain, speedy
and severe, train robbing will stop and
not before. Th o(TVne should b made
punishable with death, because if mur
der it not dooe. iu ymiiXa 'i ;r;-iriJ
to do it if necessary, and if it it not d n
it it simply because the resistance I not
efficient to demand it. At long as
Chris Evan and such at h ar made
heroes of and sent to th pen instead of
to wber they belong, that long train
robbing will be considered a necessity by
tbe criminals. . At it it tb government

thstn oa thit question. That editorial
expression has also been backed up by
hundreds ot commuuications from teach
r. school officer and parent interest
ed ia th snbject.and it is practically
unanimous. W feel saf in saying,
therefore, that the sentiment ot th
state is also unanimous, and that senti
ment is against any material rhang in
th school books. With regard to th
grammar in use, there tt some differ-,

Soma six week ago, in common with
our contemporaries, we expressed our
opinion on the matter and Inrilol a
discussion ot tha subject in tb columns
of Tut CuaoMU-it, and enpecially in
vited th opinion ot those w ho thought
otherwise than w did. Up to dat no
on has i pre wed dissatisfaction with
tb opinion therein advanced. W
hav been tiling th present system of
books for a number of years, and tha
fact that lb maker of torn other series
ot books bare suddenly discovered that
their beuks ar better, is at lst capa
ble of being thought not entirely disin
terested. Th change of book would Inflict a
harden on hundred of parent who

Thus ia changing school books the

Th interest ol .th parents, ot th

MUST BE A MISTAKE.
A dispatch of tb 8th tart :
lh textot tb Connecticut supreme
court's opinion ordering a re-trial ol Ir.
J. K. Le, after acquittal by a jury fur
murder, lb first record of the kind ia
tb state, is given oat today. It main
argument ltli point that th old F.ng
lisb common law was so cruel that judge
then wisely held that aa accused person
altera jury acquittal, could not b put
in jeopardy a second tiro for tb taut
offense; but now that th old law has
been relaxed, tha criminal ought not to
benefit by former practice, and justice
be thwarted by error of judicial ruling.
Tha court of five jo-lues was unani
mous In the opinion. Th opinion was
written by Jodg Hammersley.
It doe not seem possslbl that th
above dispatch can be true. If so the
sooner those judge can b superseded
by other with mora common tense,
and lest legal learning, lb better tor
th peopi of th state. One that gate
It opened there would b no end to liti
gation, no tafety to individuals, and In a
short time no regard for th law. A
man one arrested for a crime could m
kept at tbe pleasure of the judge whom
ba it brougnt before, ami though ac
quitted, could ba re-tried until Anally a
jury might b found to convict him.
Lawyers would rvel in fees, and coun
ties would li tnamped with court ex
penses. The Orecoman is somewbat mistaken
in regard to Klein and Savage, and th
powers and authority of th United
Mutes eonrts. Ravage and Klein ar
both ia tb power of th state, ol Oregon,
and with all due di-terence to I'ncle
Bam, the whole United btate it not big
noiigh to take tbem out of it. The
stat having taken possession of then
peopl for tha purpose of trying them
for an offens against ber laws, is su
preme. When tba stat of Oregon is
through with thsm tha United tates
court can meet them at th penitentiary
