Currin Mrs. M. J. Hammer .Vlolph Ascliotl Mk it ta an has a ju.le who looms up as a word-breaker. According tu the San Fran cisco Kxniiiinrr lie contends Hint a man mav have ordinary Intc-lliKiniceuii piuoing event of the day and still Ih iiiulillisl to serve on a Jury. In luet, he goes so far as tosay that he prefers jtiryincn whoconlos that liny read the newspapers, and have some HIliuK in their sk'ills, because ' with more intellr lienee in the jury-box there will he more justice in jury trials." The best argument on this point was made by a famous soap-maker in the Fast. When a friend asked hint whvlicdid nil his ad vertising Pi the newspapers instead of plU' carding the blank walla with tlatuinit pool ers, he replied that be had found out that "a man who never reads the newspapers never uses soap." The old notion that the proer thing to do in a jury trial is to roll in a doien cabbage-heads and plant them in the box i rapidly losing its grip. Our Mich igan friend has a great number of followers on the bench, fortunately, who are quietly helping on the era of enlightenment. As newspapers multiply in the land the ignor ance standard for a juryman becomes a howling farce. It can only place in the jury box either needy candidates aliove all fear of perjury or soapless anarchists whom it were rank (lattery to stigmatize as citir-ns. The record made by Judge Mclliideat the last term of court w as riht in line with the course here commended. The Kntkkfhikk then commented favorably and the citizens of the county generally voiced a hearty en dorsement. GEITLXG ARISTOCRATIC. The democratic house of representatives, in the closing hours ot the session, passed a resolution that, alter April 1 next, every member ami delegate, not the chairman of a committee having aclerk, shall be entitled to the services of a clerk during sessions, at public expense. This resolution was adopt ed by a vote ol l.'i2 to 57. The private secre taries or clerks are not to cost more than J10" a month. This measure will be severely attacked all over the country. Says the Blade: "The farmers of the West and South, w ho look UKn the salary of fS.ouu per year which is paiil to representatives in congress as princely, will not look with favor on the steal of $10(1 per month additional out of the treasury for each of these gentlemen, to enable them to answer their letters and re lieve themselves of routine work. Then the manner of its adoption, at the very end of a congress, and before the people had acbance to make themselves heard on the subject, will betaken as strong evidence that the moinbers who passed it regarded it as an unjnstiliaide steal. But the probability is that the innovation will stand and become permanent. The clerks will prove very handy to members, save them a deal of la bor, and the wise ones will select those ca pable of preparing speeches for them. As it is the people's money which is spent for these purposes,- the: clerks will be looked Un as a perrnanency." This means that nearly $3ii0,r.(i) per annum is to he added to the expense of congress. A good start oft for the democratic party. At this rate we will soon have a two billion dollar congress. A BILLIOX AjVD .MORE. W'i are in receipt of resolutions from Os wego and Ellwood relative to the new road system which are not printed for the reason that they but rethresh old straw. The Kn teupkisk has already printed more of these than its limited space w ould justify, for not only does it do no good, inasmuch as all ar rangements .are made for a year's trial of the new system, and better or worse it ought to have a fair chance. There is an other reason why it is not best to publish these resolutions at this time. The impres sion is general throughout the state that Clackamas county and Oregon City are just now in the fore rank of progress with a uni ted people pulling for improvements. It would not be wise to change this impression by giving reason U believe that we are not progressive and determined to make our county the best in the state. The Evening Telegram says, " Down here in 1'ortland the people are of h philosophic turn of mind." We think this is so, for the preceding paragraph reads, "There is a dead dog lying in the street near the intersection of Sixth and Morrison streets. The animal has lieen ornamenting that spot several days. The sight is disgusting and the smell is very ollensive.'' This is philosophy for vou. Portland must be very aesthetic as well as philosophic. Kiiwaho Evlkett Hale in discussing the evils of indiscriminate voting calls attention to the fact that nut even naturalization is required prior to the privilege of voting iu some states. He thinks an impost tax the most feasible plan to restrict and elevate the foreign vote, and that the next century will give us family suffrage with one vote to the family. The burning question will then be which or who shall cast that vote? It is much to be regretted that the new law to allow street and sewer improvements to be paid lor by assessments is defective, as j it will check contemplated improvements in this city, which could have been made un der a wise and well guarded installment law, without being oppressive to property owners. During the last campaign the democracy , made a great hoodoo over the "billiondol lar congress." It is their turn now. Ever since the close of the 52d congress, on inau guration day, the democratic leaders at Washington have been juggling with the figures in a desperate effort to get away from the damning fact that, after abusing the 51st congress, which was republican, unstintedly for alleged "extravagance," and stigmatizing it as a " billion dollar con gress," the congress just closed sjient a greater amount. In point of fact, accord ing to the Toledo Blade, the republicansdid not spend a billion dollars by over $12,000, 000; while the democrats spent a full billion and nearly $27,Wi,0i0 more! The democrats, instead of endeavoring to explain in a manly and honest way this in crease of appropriations, have attempted a resort to evasion and subterfuge. Mr. Dockerj stands at the front of the demo cratic jugglers. He subtracts from the total appropriations of tlie52d congress the lia bilities created by the preceding congress; but he does not do the same thing for tbe total appropriations of the 52d congress, as this would leave him as badly in the hole as ever. Nor yet does he say anything about the deficient appropriations which will have to be met next winter by defi ciency bills. All these tricks with figures won't win with the people. The record is made up. The democrats in congress have proved themselves more extravagant, by $33,010,000, than the republicans. The statement is made on good authority ' that Canada was the cause of Hawaii's re jection of the Blaine treaty submitted in 18H9. The firm tooting which that treaty would have given the United Slates in the "Flowery Kingdom," amounting as it did to a protectorate, was distasteful to Canada and especially to the Canadian Pacific rail way which is a vigorous pusher for Pacific ocean business. Jealous of the commer cial growth of the United States in that di rection, Canada indirectly interfered and defeated the treaty. This country should not permit any interference with her com plete annexation of the islands at an early date. The fact that other nations do not want us to have them and do wish to gain control themselves, cotip'ed with the fact that Hawaii has asked to bo annexed, should lead to that result without unnecessary de- Jay. It is to be hoped thaf Mr. Cleveland's secial messenger may ma :e an early and favorable report, and that a treaty will be formulated which shall include annexation and be satisfactory to the senate. The United States is liable to aw ake some bright morning and find that England has quietly taken possession of Hawaii, if it dal lies along with the matter. England does not temporize w ith matters of this kind but takes what she wants and looks after the consequences alterwards. Rumors of war within the democratic ranks come from Washington. With all the branches of government under its con trol, the party can hardly hope to make a successful application of its principles if its energies are wasted in opposing each other.

Commit, ionfr to Hawaii, San Fn.tsa.sio, March 20. Fx-Repie-sentative James II. Blount, commissioner to Hawaii, accompanied by Mrs. Rlotint, and Ellis .Mills, the stenographer of the state department, as secretary, arrived from Washington this morning, and soon after noon started for Honolulu on the revenue cutter Richard Rush. Com missioner Blount was seen for a few minutes before boarding the Rush and upon being requested to say something about bis mission replied : "My mission, so far as my instructions connected with it are concerned, is a secret one, ami in regard to those in structions I am absolutely unable at present to impart any information to the public. I would like to do so, but I cannot." Wlmn asked if he had any idea as to how long he wold be away, lie said : I imagine that I mav he absent about three months. The Rush will probably. according to what I hear, remain at the islands as long as I am there, and I shall be very likely to return in her." Captain C. L. Hooier, w ho commands the Rush, expects to make the trip in about eight days. l',UX FOR CITIZKNS' .11 F.F.TINl. j U lie Held nl Mihrlcj's Hull April. , isim.

Tualatin Items. Tualatin, March 20. J. R. C. Thompson is still confined to the house with slight at tack of pneumonia, brought on by bad cold. Mrs. barkin Ball of Imrhai.i's Valley, is visiting her sister, Mrs. Isaac Ball of Tual atin. Frank Smith, a property owner of this place, has returned to his home in the me tropolis. Mr. Hersey and Mr. Cheney of 1'ortland, who have purchased a twenty-acre tract of the Thompson place near here, enclosed it with a good plank fence and set it out In prunes, have also erected two neat summer cottages thereon. Mrs. Alice Cummings, formerly of this place, lies dangerously ill with pneumonia at her home near Kcholl's Ferry. Mr. Tillon and family have moved to Jefferson where Mrs. Tilton's aged mother lives, and on whose account they make the change. Mr. Tilton is one of our most en ergetic citizens, and we very much regret his absence. The ladies of this community met al the residence of the Rev. Mr. Olds for tbe pur pone of organizing a Lades Aid sooity. Vim. Day and wife spent last Sabbath visiting the letter's sister, Mrs. I'lincy (jra ham, near Tigardville. A social, joyous, mirthful time expresses the kind of an evening the participants of a candy pull bad at Rev. Mr. Olds's last Fri day night. Mi.ix that J. Pierpont Morgan, who sails on the Majestic tomorrow, goes on an im portant mission for the government. It is staled that he has been authorized to negotiate a loan of $.30,000,000 in gold. The report is apparently well founded. Mr. Morgan was in Washington last week and held a long conference with Secretary of the Treasury Carlisle. Of course, neither M. Morgan nor the sec retary could be expected tosay anything for publication on the subject Prices on furniture, lounges, mattresses, etc, have taken a tum ble.
