OREGON MIST.
tfL'BSCUIPTION, (1.60 PER YEAR.
BKK'idK A DAVIS, Publisher
T. IIF.I.R1XH, OHKUN, NOV. i.
If i estimated Dint river 450,000 bi
ryclo have been and sold in the United
Buti thia yar for about t37.OO0,tod,
and that there are now 175 American
manufacturers o( Ilia wheel. Tha re
publican candidate for mayor of Brook
lyn referred in wheelmen in hia epeech
of acceptance, saving that they are
entitled to municipal recognition, end
thai lie ia heartily (n eyrnpathy with
tha efforta to provide better roads. The
bicycle vote ia likely to ntaka a oonatd
arabla figure in politic.
A trry strong effort ia being put
forth by the btisinesa men of San
Francisco to hate tba National repub
lican contention of 1S96, held in that
city. In tlteir effort to secure the1
convention party politic ia left out of
the queation entirely. Thie ia clearly
evident by the fact that the Examiner,
democratic, heida the liat with a do
nation of $7,600 to be used to secure
(he convention for that city. The Call
ia next with a subscription of $5000,
and man othnr contributor ranging
from $3,000 to $1500. Up to last Sat
urday there had been altogether $33,
000 auhaeribed. There ia one thing
that cannot be denied, when California
undertakes to do anything it ia alwaya
well done, and if niouey will eecure it
the next National republican conven
tion will be held in the Golden Uate
city. ' - -
Th itching palm of the law in just
ice courta haa demanded ao much
acratchingthat the grand jury in Uma
tilla couniy haa found it necessary to
censure these too eager eeekera after
lee. Complaint against this evil
cornea from many parts of Oregon. In
Tillamook county it ia said that thoua
anda of dollars are paid out every year
for cost in petty criminal case, most
of which are instituted merely for
spite. So long aa the law can be need
for revenge there will be found those
who will grasp the weapon ; ao long a
district attorneya are human, and are
paid by the county $10 for each con
viction and $5 for each acquittal, there
are apt to be district attorneya who
will aee with the eyeaof the complain
ant witness. Juaticee have power to
require coat bonds, and to assess the
coat againat complainants, but too
seldom do either. The example of the
Eugene jury should be oftener followed.
It found, the other day, in addition to
the verdict, that the action waa with
out merit, and bad been maliciously
brought.
The two atatea of Washington and
Oregon have more atanding timber
than all the reat of the United Stalea
put together; they have more than
ten time aa much aa Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota (the white pine
slate) combined ; mnre than 400 times
aa much a the great lumber state of
Maine aud more than GOO times as
much as New York, eaya the Puget
Sound Lumberman. The nine largest
lumber slates of the South have only
one-third aa much aa these two forest
kinga of the Northwest. The woods
of Oregon and Washington would
make a irirdle aronnd the earth three
miles wide. If all the other forests of
the Union were to go np in smoke
these two slates could meet the pree
ent demand, until these forests are re-
crown. At the present rate of con
aomption,and not allowing for new
growth, the forests of the United Slates
will be exhausted in 120 yean. The
wood of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota will be exhausted within
ten years. Than Oregon and Wash
ington will be the chief source ol sup
ply for the wbole Union.
Thk small farm movement ia partic
ularly atrong in Union and Wasco
counties. Commenting upon it tne ia
Grande Chronicle seriously observe:
So one who baa not been over tne
ground can have an adequate idea of
the number of small farms along the
foothills oo the west side of Grand
Bonde, and in the timbered districts
in the vicinity of Summerville. It
will not be manv years until 20 and 40
acres of such tracts will be of greater
actual value and add more to the gen
eral wealth of the country than whole
section that are need exclusively for
raiting grain. The hope of Grand
Bonde is in small farma; not only be
cause a small farm well worked will
yield as much income as a larger one,
but because the small-farm system
will give more people the opportunity
to establish their own bomea and work
for themselves. There are already too
many people depending Upon others
to give them employment. When a
greater number of people begin work
ing for themaelvas the number of thoae
who seek employment from other will
be proportionately reduced, and the
field less crowded.
Osca more a Portland jury has de
cided that the principal of a school
has sufficient authority to bring the
school under strict dicipline. The ver
dict of the jury in the Adams case,
which Waa tried last week and resulted
in acquittal, ahould be warning to pu
pils who transgreaa with impunity, the
rule of the public echoola, that they
cannot do aa they please ard go un
punished. A few years ago Professor
Bigler, at the Harrison street school,
bad the same experience) but the jury
in the case also exonorated him.
The Mist doea not believe a teacher
ahould be unreasonable or brutal, bnt
there are timea when it become nee-
essary to inflict severe punishment
upon the pupil in order to conquer
him and also in order to maintain
good dicipline. Expelling a child
from achool for bad conduct doe not
fill the bill, inasmuch aa many chil
dren are only anxioue for an excuse
to stay oat of school, and knowing
this to be the only remedy within tha
province of the teacher, would quickly
commit some minor offense that they
might be expelled. Thia does not ap
ply to all, but te a great many pupils.
It ia essential, therefore, that the
teacher authority be supreme in the
schoolroom and that the pupil be
made to understand it ; otherwise the
publio achool ia a failure from an edu
cational point of view, aa well aa a uee
les waste of money. Iu a large de-.
give parenta are to blame for their
children being unruly lu school. For
instance, wheu a parent instructs a
child that if the teacher punishes it ha
will be discharged from the school, it
la not only encouraging the child to
do wrong, but tends towards break
ing up the school and depriving other
children from the educational advant
age to Which they are entitled.
BESULT Of TUSSDArS SUCTION.
Tha result of the election held in
many of the Eastern state Tuesday
waa not unexpected, and only adda
another link iu the broken chain of
evidence that the democratic adminia
tration, under which we now live, is
not indorsed by the people. The i
publican majority of 100,000 in Ohio,
and 70,000 in Iowa are remarkable,
and what ia more remarkable ia the
fact that the repuhlicaua have carried
Maryland by several thousand, for the
first lime in the history of the state,
and a republican senator will be elec
ted to succeed Gibson, and a republi
can senator will be elected in Ohio to
succeed Brice. Iu Kentucky the re
publican majority ia almost 15,000,
placing tbj state in the future in tha
doubtful list. The minority in Penn
sylvania reaches 169,000. The repub
lican majorities, except in a few states,
are not ao large aa last year, but this
could n it be expected, aiuce the laat
election took place in tha midst of
the great panic which was generally
attributed to the policy of the admin
istration on several subjects, but aside
from last year's elections the majori
ties are the largest ever known.
The republican majority in New
York state is estimated at 66,000, but
New York City is agaiu placed iu the
banda of Tammany. Several states
which have heretofore been considered
doubtful are now safely republican,
while Maryland, Kentucky and New
Jersey are in the doubtful column.
The gain of three senators in Ohio,
Keutucky and Maryland, and the two
new onea to be elected in Utah will
give the republicans 49 out of 90 after
next March. The two new onea from
Utah will take their seats immediately
upon the convening of congresa.
The republican victory in Maryland
and the republican maiorily in Ken
tucky would ludicate that the aolid
south waa broken. The result of Tues
day's election cannot mean but one
thing, and that ia that a repetition of
the laat two tidal wavea will again oc
cur aunng the year of loiro.
A CBNTLXMAaT who baa alwaya been
engsged in the lumber business, speak
ing of the trade, said he left Canada
more than thirty years ago, and on pay
ing a visit to bia old home five years
ago he fonnd that where millioua of
feet of logs had been pot into the
water annually in that country wben
he lived there, the roadways and raft
ing piaoea were, on hia return, grown
op with high grasa and undergrowth,
and added that he could not under
stand why thia waa the case, since the
timber supply waa still abundant.
Perhapa if this gentleman would re
turn to Canada now nnder the Wilson
free trade lumber law he would again
find the lumber and logging business
thriving as of yore. The fact of the
matter i that the United States, prior
to the time be first lett Ihere, furnished
a free market for Canadian lumber,
bnt almost the entire time eisce, np
nntil two year ago, there haa been a
duty imposed on lumber by the con
gress of the United States, which en
abled our lumbermen to compete, in
fact, to drive the Canadian out of our
markets, and in consequence, as the
gentleman says, the giaas grew up in
the roadway of the Canadian, logger.
Thia ia a plain proposition and .one
which ia within the comprehension of
every reader. Today, under the oper
ation of the Wilson law, the doty ia
removed on lumber and the British
Columbia and Canadian mills are
driving our millmen out of th6 busi
ness or compelling them to employ
only the cheapest labor in order to
compete with the foreigner for our own
market. This condition may be a
good thing for the country but it is
not generally understood ao.
The American farm of the future
will be the small farm, says an ex
change. Large farma will no longer
pay. Change ia written on every rural
industry; change of methods, of im
plements, of modes of packing and
distribution. The farmer of thirty
years ago ia becoming a back number.
It ia a change from primitive culture
in the direction of scientific farming,
from surface scratching to thorough
cultivation, from very low to high
yields, from waste to economy and
clean culture. It haa been a alow
movement and ia only yet a beginning,
but its indications are numerous and
somewhat marked. The revolution of
mechanism in sericulture baa been aa
constant and active aa in locomotion
by bicycling. The implements and
machinea of today are superceded by
different and improved forma almost
before they have time to ruat.
i, wbkat crop of 500,000,000 bush
els, a com crop of 2.200,000.000 bush
els, and an oata crop of 82o.0UU,tX)0
bushel indicate that the year isaa in
the United States baa been a pretty
good one for farming. Nearly all
other productiona of the soil have
done aa well, and politice will catch
up nest year.
SftovLD the republican National con
vention be beld in San Francisco next
year there will be a good chance to ad
vertise Oregon a little, aa many of the
delegates, if given an invitation, would
visit the Northwest before returning
borne. How mnch will Portland do
toward entertaining them in the event
tins bappensT
Englavb expresses great admiration
for Mr. Cleveland and jollies Mr. Bay
ard while it is engaged in taking more
liberties with the Monroe doctrine
than it ever ventured to take before.
But in the end England will have to
deal with the American people on'
tins question.
Last week added a battle-ship and
two gunboats to the American navy,
and the Monroe doctrine may be re
garded as in pretty good shape in
spite of the Cleveland administration.

The Modern Newspaper.
At Oregon City on 8unday tha Rev. J.
W. Cowan. D. D., of .the Congregational
enurch, discussed the influence of the
modern newspaper. H took for bis text
the words of the prophet Zaebariab (v.).
Behold a flying roll." Ha said tba voice
at tba press in modern life was almost like
the voice of omnipotence, and said it wss
made jnst what it was by tha public. Ta
elevate its tone the people must better their
lives, for th papers simply publish what
best pleases their readers, and that is the
doings ol their fellowmen. 8o long as the
demand for sensational aud world reading
continues so long will the papers continue
to publish it. Thia Is on of its main ob
jects. The reverend gentleman concluded
with an appeal to his people to take th
local newspapers, which are doing for the
local community a work worth ten times
their cost, bat not on any account to fail to
take the papers of the church, which would
keep them in touch with th life of a world
in which tha great name were not Durrant
and Corbett and Fltzaimmons, and where
the great event were not th last prizefight
sud the m.t noteworthy utterance the
things the murderer saiJ to tha reporter in
his cell last night.
