Relative to the ordinance recently Intro
duced repealing ordinance No. 121, which
ll.vcs the Hie limits by prohibiting the erec
tion of frame buildings within certain limits
along Mniu Mtvct.nnd eniiilllng the coun
cil to regiilalit the creel Ion of buildings ad
joining the prescribed limits, there seems to
be a strong feeling on llie part of many in
terested property owners that the present
ordinance ought to slnud. The property
owne.it ami lennnta within the prescribed
limits are the ones chlrllly Interested and
many of them urge with good show of rea
son that so long as frame shacks can
be erected there will be but comparatively
few good buildings erected, as ad jning frame
structures will endanger the good buildings
to such an extent as to prevent owners of
proerly from putting them up. Ilrick
buildings are a protection against lire,
and upon at least one occasion the spread
of fire was prevented in the city by the
presence of brick building strong enough
to resist the heat.
One of the elements of a fine business
street is almost in sight in the shape of the
Improvement of Main street, and it seems
too bad that the city should at this time he
inclined lo take a step backward hy remov
ing all restrictions upon the erection of
buildings within the business part of the
city. The time is likely to come when brick
buildings capable of resisting lire from
without will prove of Incalculable beuctit to
property in the city by preventing the
spread of a coutlagrution.
If the city council really desires to pass
an ordinance that will result In ultimate
good to bolh city and prorty owners let it
exlend rather than alxilinh the fire limits.
At the Inst meeting of the council a vote
was taken as a preliminary expression auth
orizing the committee on streets and public
property to have prepared an ordinance
granting lo the Oregon City Manufacturing
company the right lo use Third street lor
the purpose of laying a street car track Into
their yard. The ground upon which they

Emkki'Hisk has no hesitancy in asserting
that this ordinance ought not to pass so
long as the condition and management of
the mill remain as they are. The manage
ment of the Oregon City Manufacturing
company actuated hy a desire to benefit
labor! Ood save the mark. Where is the
laboring wan in this city who will rise up
of his own free will ami claim a single
instance where the compsnv was actuated by
such a noble motive? No such sentiment
ever found a moment's rest within their
utterly selfish breasts. They are for self
and self alone. II the council would learn
" Several papers ha e intimated that the
congressional race in this ilUtrlrl will be be
tween Senator H. It. Huston, demix rat
and Hon. T. 11. Tongue, republican, bolh
of Washington county. This would leave
Mr. Hermann out and make a very pretty

There are other ways in which the franchise
would injure labor, and until the Oregon
City Manufacturing company shows some
consideration for labor and a disosltion to
look In at least a small degree to the
interest of Oregon City, it ought not t be
favored by the city, more eeclally when
labor is to suffer for it.
Til a Portland Chronicle says that Oregon
ilemocrals will lie asked to become deputy
populists this year. It will lie a hitler dose
but most of Ihriii will swallow It. If they
cared more for the country's welfare than
they do to defeat the republican party they
would not do it; but the sriiilineut of most
of them Is anything to heal the republicans,
and the country may go to Ibe doga.
RiHieburg Iteview: We understand that
the iioniiiialion of Prof. Henry S. Strange,
formerly a teacher in the Itosebnrg public
schools, ami sn old Douglas county boy, is
being urged for superiniendrnl of public in
struction on the republican ticket. No more
worthy person could he selected, and it a
republican is to occupy that position we
know ol no one more acceptable lo his many

Spare the rod and spoil the child is as
true today as when King Solomon first
uttered the words, and it applies to school
life as well as to home training. It would
be belter for the public schools and for such
pupils as wilfully disobey or are especially
intractable if instead of turning them out
of school or suspending them for a time to
roam the streets they should be dealt with
in a summery manner and kept at their
studies in school. The pupils who were
suspended last week and two weeks ago
for truancy, might better have been made
to sutler the disgrace and pain of cor
poral punishment since the elect on them
would have been more wholesome and the
example to the school more impressive.
Pupils who play truant or cut up in school,
and who employ their time in inventing
and perpetrating mischief, are not as a rule
so desirous of getting an education as to
care whether they are retained in school or
not, so that suspension ii after all not a real
punishment.
the use of convicts says: The experiment of
employing at the work of roudniaking a
portion ol the convicts in state prisons has
resulted satisfactorily, as we learn Ironi the
reKirt of superintendent Lathrop. Tbe ex
periment was begun only last year, and only
upon a small scale, with seventy-eight of
the men in the state prison at Clinton, who
entered upon the construction of a macad
amized road leading to Pittsburgh, and
completed the greater part of a mile of it.
The work is to be continued in case it shall
meet with the approval of the legislature, as
it has received that of Governor Flower. It
apiiears that the road, so far as nisde, Is a
first-class one, that the prisoners worked
well eight hours a day, that only three of
them attempted to escape, and that the resi
dents of the locality favor the experiment
which has been conducted at slight exense
chargeable to state account. We are pleased
with that part of the superintendent's re
port which deals with this subject, We are
of opinion that it would be desirable and
profitable to employ a very considerable
proportion of the able-bodied convicts in
our stale prisons at the useful work of road
making, a part of the cost of the work to be
borne hy the localities which are to he bene
fited by it.
From fhe fact that the populists are only
theorists as to what they would do if ac
corded power, it is not surpiising that their
utterances are at variance concerning the
financial question, thus leading the Hills
boro Independent to remark: Funny people
these populists. Mr. Hare at his protracted
meeting asserted Chat no more than fifty
dollars per capita in treasury notes would
be issued, while Mr. Luce in his exhortation
said they would issue fifty dollars, and if
that was not enough they would issue fifty
dollars more; but if the people should show
a disposition to contract the currency hy
hoarding, he would continue to issue cur
rency till they showed a disposition to let
go. So, afterall, the caricature of the farmer
who sold his load of produce for treasury
notes, which he carried home on a hay rack
and unloaded into his barn witb a hay fork,
is not so far out of the way after all.
Perhaps the mayor can successfully ex
plain how under an ordinance fixing the
compensation of the city recorder at f 10.00
per month, which under ordinance No. 47
was made " full and complete compensation
for any and all services," he drew from the
city treasury as high as $35.00 in a single
month while serving as recorder. If it be
wrong to allow the city recorder $25.00 per
month under a resolution fixing that as his
compensation, It certainly was not right for
Mr. Straight, while serving as recorder, to
draw as high as $3.r,00 in a single month
without even the sanction of a resolution.
" O! consistency, thou art a jewel."
Polk County Observer: With thorough
organization tht republicans need not fear
but that they will win next Jane.
Tillamook Advocate: Democrats cull Gov
ernor Peunoyer crank. Hepublli alls
characterize him as bigoted ass. populists
say he la a maniac. With so many pro.
nniineed manifestations from all sides, It Is
difficult to see from w hat source lie eiecu
his support for the I'mled Slates senate.
Mercury: It is reorted that the Port
land smuggling cases are to lie used for
democratic campaign thunder this spring.
They are to be called up again JtlM before
the election, and several leading republicans
not hitherto arrested are to figure as defend
ants. The .Mercury believes ihat If this pro
gram is carried out it will prove a boomer
ang. No one desires the escape of the
guilty, but the public will revolt at persecu
tion for political purposes.
Arlington Itecnrd : Mr. Klncsld is in every
way qualified for Secretary of slnte, has
been a repnblleau first, last, and all the
time, has edited and published a republican
paper through evil as well as through good
report, and if the republican party owes
any man in Oregon, that man is Klncald.
Let Oregon show her appreciation of a true
and worthy man by nominating and elect
ing him,
Portland Chronicle: Hon. Dinger Her
mann comes out frankly and states that he
is not a candidate for governor, hut that lie
will run again for congress. Mr. Hermann
has worked Inithfnlly in congress for the
best interests of his stale, and thoroughly
knows the ropes. He has our cordial u
port. Register: Editor J. I!. Whitney, of the
Albany Herald, was in the city yesterday on
business connected with his paper. More
than likely his Linn county friends will
present hi.i name to the state convention lor
the position of state printer. Mr. Whitney
has many friends in the valley who would
appreciate his promotion to that ofllce.
