Well, the bridges will come, but this great world of ours was not built iu a day, hence we should bule our time. "' Hkbk is a picture for the people of all countries to consider: Dur. ing the 49 years of hi life the Prince of Wales has drawn 16 mil lion dollars from the public treas ury of Great Britain, and hisdebta, it is said, now amount to about $ millions. No wonder the English tnilonies are not thrifty. l Tub Oregon Press A&Mrlation will meet at Astoria August '-, 27 and 28, 1S91. The Astoriars are going to do the uiea thing by the quill drivers. Truly the 'jK'n is mightier than the sword." Bui clams, and oysters, and salmon, and such brain food, is Ktrony enough for the Oregon editors. "O.vk by one the roses fall." This time it is the Daily Kugene Guard. We thought Bro. Pump bell was making a mistake. The Salem Stattmta says: The Daily Kugene Guard, finding that dispatches cost money, and lots of it, and that nothing is mi re oertain than telegraph bills ex cept taxes and death, has quit the expense. . . ' ... 1 111 .". ". A CLEBOTMA5 who did not get on well with the congregation was ap pointed chaplain of a penitentiary, and preached a farewell sermon to ; his congregation. There was noth ing in the sermon at which anyone could take offense, but some of the members did not like the text, which was: "I go to prepure place for you, so that where I am ye may be also." TuR Farmers' Alliance iu eoiiven tion assembled last week protested against the building of the new court house at Koseburg, Oregon. The alliance, to keep abreast of the demands of the times, mn.-ii make no mistakes. " This Is clearly a mistake, and great one, too. ' Douglas county needs that .wirt house to preserve well her records. It will be built, however. The Ashland militia are great on the march. One of the loefil papers aocues the Iwys of marching their best girls at their regular Saturday evening hops through thirteen and a half miles of dsmce by actual pedometer measurement.' The girl are stauding up to their work fully as well as the boys, up to date, uwl Ashland has a magnificent future before her as militia headquarters. The first apples raised in Polk county were grown by Gabriel Ilardison, who brought the seed across the plains with him in 1H5, Immediately ou , his arrival he planted them and thussoon secured enough apples for homo use. In 1832 he sold apples, us did some others, for $15 a bushel, the pur chaser picking them himself. This is the same year that wheat sold at $5 a bushel, The Democratic editors of Kan Basin convention assembled say this: "We oppose governmental purchase of the railroads, but we believe in legislative control in the interest of the people whose char tered servants they are." We em phatically oppose the proposition for the government to purchase the surplus products of the soil as be ing a plain violation of the coiiKti tution. To those who favor gov. ernnieutal loaning of money on products of the soil we quote a maxim by one of the founders of the government, "The government must not become a banker," a "seasvk: The following from the Wasco S, published at The Dalles, Or,, is puttii.g the thing about right, although in burlesque. The fact is the locks at The Dalle will never Im built. No one of any sense etpvet it. That has beeu reeiferated from the political roa trunts for years, saying, "Amd me," "I will build the .locks at The Dalles," "l will build the locks.' Build a gmd lVrtiige railway, and let the state do it. 8he is amply able, lt congress gt) to grass, for its alt nonsense to talk continually of what congress is going to do. The railrotids up that way . do not want the locks built, and that net ties it, so far as congress, congress men and senator are concerned. But railroads do not control the state of Oregon by a long shot, uot tithe as much as they do congress; hence Kastcrn Oregon should join hands with Portland and The Wil ' lamette valley and build all the necessary oi tiges at once. The next legislature ought to cak iu unmistakable tones concerning this greufc waterway. Its importance is not conceived of as yet. The state would le repaid in five years. Here fbllow a glance at the ''se amy behind the curtains from the Senator Mitchell, Congressman Hermann and Major llandbury held a seance at Oucade Lock yes terday. Our ciUicns were inviteti to come down ami take a look at the OKKAT M VSTKHV or THE HEKK aftkr but with one or two exeep. tions, politely tWIinwl. They kuow from past exerieueethat the necromantic Major can take a map, a i?lort and a lead pencil and con struct therewith a gruud canal, which, when viewed properly through Um bottom of a wine gta-ss, looks the rosy hue of life itself, hut altis fades away at a practical touch like the tilaiv for'u of a phantom. As niiu-h as one jx-oplo desire the 'Lorktt' they have finally tdmlwl that a substantial throe-foot gauge portage railway in practical oeration is Mter by fur thau the graudent rugineeriutt feat of the wnturv" built on uaner. j Wo have no doubt the M.ijor con ljuiiil npthe usual glut but his I phantom has lt the charm of novelty. The "ciftmrr ne rui;;ht have attnntioiis for a few, and the usual display of "ArtSi" prove interesting, but the people of Hie italic have grown tirou ot visionary none. They have all due respect for Messrs. Mitchell and Hermann but re hwJUh som lt)eii thtrityr, and have no time to attend "ghml dances." , However it is well enough for these gentlemen to inform them nelves thoroughly ou the subject, for they may le held to a stricter account in the hereafter for the way appropriations are spent a well as how ohlaineil. lAX.XltAl. UA.Vt.lX The death of Hanuibal Hamlin will awaken hi-torical and political reminiscences throughout the hind. He iw first elected to t'ougn-ss as a Ih'inocrat, iu il'-', and went to the senate in 1M. In 1W he was elected governor of Maine as a Republican, bntsiHiii resigned to return to the 1. S. senate,' retiring only when elected vice president. Iu 1W.I he was again elected V, S. senator, aud served till 1H81. He was then appointed miniWr to Spain, but a foreign court had no attractions fir him, , ami after a year's service he returned home He has taken no active part in pot iti( since, but has been generally recognized as a prominent figure B American politics during forty years. Many eminent men have passed away during the punt year or two, ii rid now the public mind i apprehensive of the death of ou other most diftingtiishcd sbilcjman Tit K Sunday HYrow, of Port laud, "hits the nail on the head' when it upotropih.cs alsuit us fol lows: "Mot editors are well ae qiiaitited with the man who "takes more papers than ho c:.n read," and so has no me lor his Iim-uI pa per. He takes a paper published iu Portland, Maine. It contains all the late news ulmnt "Tlie Hiuua- glers Last Cruise," the adventure of "Big Mote, the Bandit King," etc., and while, ho is storing his mi ml with such useful information, his wife is reading buck n urn licred almanacs. This is the man who wants a 15 line local puff iu your paper 'just to fill up, you kuow.' Or, if iio 1m a professional man go ing out of town for a few days, he wants a 'personal' to the effect so Unit his patrons may know where lie is, but Is not willing to pay for a local notice. jS'ewspu'au m exittt solely for the convenience of people like this." A Michigan girl told l.er young man that she would never nmn v him until he was worth 1 0,00(1. So he started out with a brave heart to make it, "How are you gelling on, Oeorgel" she asked at theexpi ration of a couple of montlm. "Well," (leorge said hopefully, "I have saved 21'." The. girl dropped her eyes and remarked, "I reckon thatfs near enough (Jeorge. The McMinnvillo Tdqritonr- Ufg. (jdfr has been figuring on the mini her of persons which the various towns in Oregon claim intended their respective celeliraiions, mid finds that the jopulntion of the late is over 4,000,000. An Kastern Oregon exchange says: "The numir oi paiupnieis mi different sut(ects priuted at the exeuse of the state of Oregon has grown into quite an abuse, 1 hers is no earthly use for half the print ed reports upon this and that sub ject, only to gratlfly someone's vau- Ity by publishing books that are never read, except by too slate printer's proof reader, The iiext legislature should cull a halt, r the first thing we know this public diH'umeut nuisance at H-tlem will 1st as Isid as It has Ikhii for many years at Washington city. If the legislature wants to send us paper by the arm load, please don't print it, as after the ink is applied we cau'tuso the leaves for ucwapaMr wrapicrs." Hevernl of our Itc publican ctmtciuwrarles have tak en this matter up and it apcars to be the general opinion that the publication of no many documents at the expense of the state is tsgin ning to lie a serious abuse thai should be cheeked; but care should tie taken not to go too far in the other dlroction. " thiuk, for a starter, the fanners could get along very well without the publication of the monthly report of the weather bureau, which niut coel something like a thousand tIolt.ii year and is of no practical scrvlc whatever.
