A wonderful rtevHoti msttt Hema to have trt'l ii. the Eastern states mid labor is varv much in demand, it only a question of m month r six weak until the wave ot pm parity roaches the Northwest Tim eitv council did a uood act when' they lut the contract for the improvt'inont ol Kicti niorid street between Edition nfrnni. nnrl the riVnr 1 MOHllilV nurht. This imm-ovomonL will prove most beneficial to the in dustrial plants located in uiai section of tho city, which are surely deserving of much con sideration. Dr. Edirur Parker, better known as "Painless Parker," is having an uphill Ilitht on his hands in breakinti into the good graces of the dental fraternity. His greatest "crime" seems to be his propen sity of using printers' ink free- v. Now i other molessiona men would suddenly develop a ike nronensity, we believe tho fraternity could still keep its dignity and do a better busi neas at the Maine time. It is time that niofosional men broke away from the old mows covered idea that advertising their Iiiihi- noM and method is uudignilied. In Parker's cum? there soonis to bo none who will say that his methods tire not painless, as he Hdvortises them to Ik-. t Kui'Mmith & Kickshaw deal in wax and Chineose gg mid oarpot tticks. They are good aport in every way; they cough up money every day to make the town a butter place in which to live and push your face. They hire a doxen clerks or more, who wait on patrons of the store. Our croon roads burg they would upbuild and see it with glad people tilled and to that end they blow the scads like truly patriotic ads. Hut when wo need of oggH a fow wo sond away to Timimc too; and when a carpet tack we wish, it's shipped from Yjw ilanti, Mich. Each has the no lion in his dome that things are I unit away from home, and so we order hods ami lints, and humming birds and Maltese cati, from strangers in some town remote, who would not know UK from a goat. We ship away our hard earned kalo, and gut out fourth rate junk by mall, bay, are we seers, or xre wo fools? Those strnngesr don't support our schools or keep the puelor on his beat, or help to pave Commercial street. They do not paint the village pump, or build a fence around the dump. If our old burg were blown away they wouldn't care a hale or liiiy.WAhT MASON. The committee appointed by tho oity council to arrange for the loaso or sale of the city dock has not yet made its report. Hut thoro is considerable dis cussion over tho proposition upon the streets. The concensus of opinion seems to favor the sale of the dock, rather than its lease, especially If it could bo sold to a large manufacturing concorn. Few people boliovo that it would be possible to lease at a (lguro that would even take caro of the interest, insurance and depreciation, to sny nothing of realizing anything on tho in vestment. From a sentimental standpoint a municipal dock of tho magnitude of the Philadel phia street dock may be all right, but from a practical ami remunorativo standpoint it soums to be an utter failure. At least such has boon the experience of 5t. -.Johns. Now, while the in crease in land value would no doubt fully reimburse tho city for all exponses inmirrod, and tho proceeds of samo be of some bcnulit to the people who have borne the expenso, would ap parently be a good time to sell. bofore furthor depreciation takes place in the building, and further money is paid out in interest, otc. Tho question has been raised, what shall be done with the proceods of such salo? Tho money could be ap plied to purchasing tho water plant, or part of it used in orect ing a smaller dock at Hiclinunul street, running it straight out into tho water. Or it might be turned into tho general fund, and reduce taxation to a con siderable dogroe for some time to come. The greatost reliof of the sale wouurbo to bo relieved of tho burden of paying intorost and other expenditures in cidental with keeping tho dock.

JOHNS, OREGON History Repeats Itself Who was the old sage who said, "There is nothing new under the sunV" Away back in 1H?J8, seventy-six years ago, Daniel Webster, in a speech in Congret8 said: "There are persons who con stantly clamor. They complain of oppression, speculation and the pernicious influences of ac cumulated wealth. They cry loudly airainst all banks and cor porations and all means by which small capitals become united In order to produce important and iciielicial results. They carry on mad hostility against all es tablished institutions. They would choke the fountain of in- lustry and choke all the streams. In a country of unbounded liber ty they clamor against oppres sion, in a country ol perfect equality they would movo heaven and earth against privl- ego and monopoly. In a country w ere nroiieriv is more oven v . ' divided than anywhere else, they rend tho air shouting Agrarian dnctr nes. In a country where wagea are high beyond parallel, tlmv would touch llio I n I in cm- that he is but an oppressed glnvo." When Webster snoke those words if a poor man sent a let-! tor through the nostoflico it cost him for nostairo twentv-llvo cent. If ho sent his child to a common school ho had to pay its tuition, If he worked on a farm : in wages he received $10 a month for eiirht montliH in the year. The other four months he had to rustle for himself. Splendid girls to the manor born, Uno cooks and housekeepers were paid $1.50 per week. Men and women worked sixteen hours out of tho twenty-four. Hut thoj celebrated the Fourth o luly with forvor and hoped they might some time tight England. We have the same old complaints now, but those complaining are dreaming of overthrowing tin government.
