Newspaper Page Textgfte gragrtat, FRIDAY AUGUST 12, 1881 Tai North Carolina Republicans aavo taken ground against the pro hi bitiou bill paned by the I legislature and awaiting ratification by the ojIe. tr Postmaster Cieaerai James will keep oa as he has begun, thv post office may beome self-supporting especially when the coat of carrying Indiana for the republicans does not hare to de taken out of the appropii atioa. We have done it at last! An Ameri can borne baa won the Derby. What wiln American pork, American oysters, American flour, American corn, Amer ican butter, American cheese, Ameri can peroleam, American women and American horses, what has England left to boast of! A Ftw days ago it was announces4 that the treasury investigating commit taw had submitted to the Secretary a merely preliminary repot. It is now announced thst the committee have stopped work, and will not take it np again until ordered to do so by Secretary Wuadon. The committee have behaved badhr in discovering too much. Aojux the Portland election muddle seems to be settled, by the Council vot ing in favor of D. P. Thompson. It may bieak out again, as Simoaa talks of carrying the matter into the Supreme Court. One thing is oettain, and that is that Mr. Thompson's "goose is cook ed" in relation te his becoming a candi date for Governor next year. Ore. .tate University was in debt to the amount of about $7,900. Mr. Vil lard, the railroad king, heard of it and telegiaphed Judge Deady to draw on him f jr tha sum te liquidate the debt This was done, and the $7,000 is now ia the First National Bank subject to the call of the Regents of the Univer sitv. Such liberality will be rtniem bered by the isaopie of our State Wi would call the attention of our readers so the advertisement of the Oregon State University which ap pears in ibis issue of the Democrat. The generous donation of Mr. Villard places the institution on a sound basin financially, and the inducement offered in the way of first class teach era and methods are equal to any of the eastern colleges. The Kople of Oregon should give the state I'niver sity a liberal support. Thk telegraph tells us that Seeend Assistant Postmaster General Elmer re ports the net reduction iu star route and steamboat mail service during July mounts to $314,654, and that the total amount of aaings by reduction and dis continuances since March 4 ia $1,381,. 442. And still the men who t le these large amounts are allowed to ran at large and are not prosecuted by the law tor the reason that through the mighty influence wielded by them the Republi can party is now in power. The Cmirier published at Lafayette by the Snyder Bros., haa been sold to Townsend and Frazier, and will here after be conducted aa a Democratic jour nal. The senior partner of the firm is J udge Townsend, known as one of the staunches t Democrats in the valley, and the bfluenc he will wield in the next campaign, with tiie Courier as bis month piece, wiJ e great. We congratulate the Democfeey of Yamhill on getting a newspaper of their .own. Thk recent elections in Indiana show the atate to be' overwhelmingly demo cratic. This shown conclusively the ef fect of the star route steal. Dorsey and Brady spent the money freely to carry the state that they had stolen from the government, by being assured hy Gar field and others high in authority that they would be protected. This is the patty f honest reform. It is told of Henry Clay Dean, that one day last summer he met Torn Dor. " rLs. of Sr. touis, while in the latter city. and asked him how he stood on the presidential question. Don is replied that he was a Grant democrat. Wth a look of ineffable acorn, IWn exclaimed "Well, sir, I have heard of truthfu liars, of hot est thieves, of innocent murderers, of htly devils, and of virtuous prostitutes, hut this is the fust time J ever heard of a Grant democrat !" ki rcai ester rcoarKCTa Since tha death ef Mr. Mechi, the razor man, Mr. Clair Sewell Read has bees ree-iguieil as the highest agricul .t r rp i -ww- purit auinoruy in rngiaud. tie is well known iu the United States, bar ing visited fis country four years ago a-t a member ot the agricultural de pression ivtflmitee. He belongs to a i old fa-oily ia Norfolk which has been tsugaged in farming the excellent land theie for a couple of centuries. Mr. Bead says that while the wheat throughout England looks well the heads are joor, and that the crop will be below the average. Roots of all kinds promise well, but grain is poor. I can eorrabnat' this so tar as south ern England is concerned; in Fiance the same story is told. In Austria and Germany the yWd ill scarcely reach the average.

At 12 years of age he entered the Oskalooea Herald printing office as an apprentice and after working there for several years he traveled down through Missiuri, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois, "holding casos" at different times ou the St. Louis Republican and Democrat, the Memphis Avalanche, Louisville Courier, Quiucy WkHf snd other papers of that date. He finally returned to Iowa, and was working on the Oskalooea Herald when the war of the rebellion broke out. Wbeu Presi dent Lincoln issued his first call for 1 1 oops nearly the whole of the HeraU fotce responded, the subject of this sketch among the number, and if we rememler rightly his name was sixth in number on the volunteer roll in Ma haska county. After serving in the Third Iowa Infantay in all the early campaigns in Missouri for nine months he received an honorable discharge from the army on account of failing health, caused by Ion? marches and exiosure. He was not the only one of the family that followed the Union flag in Istttle. His father and foui brothers followed lum to the field and served their country well and faithfully until the close of the war, or until removed by death. The father and two broth era were taken off by disease contracted in the aimy. A better or wore honor able war record can rarely las found in any family. After his discharge be came to Al bia, Iowa, where he held the position of city editor and business manager o the Union Staff! he stai ted for Oregon While inAlbia be w united in mar riage to Miss Etta Ktewait, on the 28th day of March of 190; and on the 2nd day of May started for Oregon, in company with the family of his father in-law, Dr. W. Q. Stewart. The jour. ney was made by wagon across the plains, and the pai ty arrived at The Dalles on the 2nd day of October, just five months after leaving the old home in Iowa. Mr. Brown was a first-clast. printer, and found no difficulty in ob taining situations on the morning pa pers in Portland, where he remained until August, I860, when, in company with M. H. Abbott, now of the Baker City Kevielle, he came to Albany and entered ujku the publication of the State Rishts Democrat, with which newspaper he was connected up to last March, when ill health compelled him to retire. After his arrival in Albany he took a great, interest in Klitics, and in a few years afterward was one of the ac knowledged leaders of the Oregon De mocracy. His )rty recognized bis valuable sen ices snd honored him with position on several occasions. In 1874 he was elected Scale Printer, and he was also delegate to the National Di.inocr.itic Convention, which nomin ated Got. Samuel J.

Brigadier Geneial Mart V. Brown, O. S. M ., died at Lower Soda Springs on Wednesday, August 3rd, at 10 a. m. Gen. Brown has been a prominent man in Oregon for many years, holding several offices of profit and trust He also figured quite conspicuously in the capacity of editor of the Statk Riuiith Democrat, where he won for himself considerable fame as a journalist, being a Democrat of the Jackson cast, for which principle he eont ended until fail ing health compelled him to quit that field of labor and seek some healthful resort in hopes oi recovering ; but bis hopes were all in vain, anJ all that was left of one of Oregon's moat congenial, affable and courteous gentlemen, Gen. Mart V. Brown, paed over the mys tic river to the invisible world beyond. During his eventful career in Oregon he was eousideied one o'- the most shrewd and successful po!i.ii;;aus of which the I) unocracy could boast. But his career is ended, his pn silent, and bis body lein-iiu only to consigned to tbe silent tomb. He was a member of the A. O. U. W., aU the A. W. Jc A. M., and will be buried under the auspices of the Masonic fistemity. The funeral will take place to-day at 3 p. m. Dear friend and fellow journal ist, vale vals ! longum vale ! IPmui the Walla Wall SUaainan. By our telegraphic dispatches it will be seen that Gen. M. V. Brown passed away at Soda Springs, where ho had gone to recuperate his failing health. Gen. M.V. Brown was born in Missouri, where he learned the nriiitet'H trade having worked in the St. Ixuis Rejmb- ILcan office for a number of years. In 1863, he with a UrjM party of friends immigrated to Oregon, the majority of the party settling in Linn Couuty "Matt", as bis friends familarly called him, worked for a short time at his trade, wheu he finally bought out the State Rights Democrat from M. H. Abbot, now of tbe Baker City RevieUc. Gen. Brown being ever ready with the pen soon made a tower with his paper and was in course of time elected State Printer. Being open hearted and free he was while in office tiken advantage of by a ring chat at one time ruled Oregon with despotic sway Gen. Brown was a staunch democrat of the eld school and his party honored him with a seat in the National Con vention that nominated Tilden and Hendricks. At tbe time of bis death was Brigadier General, commanding the 2d Brigade, Oregon militia and many of the citizens of Grant and Was co counties have cause to remember him during the Bannock campaign, when he immediately pushed his available troop- to the front in order to protect the settlers. Gen. Brown was generous to a fault: who of his disposition is not? Neea and want never knew a cold shoulder in this man tliat now lies still in death. His charitablemcts were many in number, and always executed in a quiet and unostentatious manner, and to his fellow craftsman tbe printer bo was always a brother. No printer 'ere past Albany in want but Gen. M. V. Brown went to his relief. In the death of Gen. M. V. Brown . a a Oregon has lost a noble man Craft an honest Wnber.

If the se lection of Vaquina Bay was a mistake on the part ot the partira interested in running the railroad from the heart of the Willamette valley by a direct and short route to tide water, it is too late to flaunt it in their faces now. The in corporators must make the most of it, and it is the true course of evsry hoiuvit paer in )regon to help the venture by encouraging words rather than aim to retard it by derision and nutrient srguments. iBCtlEW Of I OKI l(.N UIM Sl.KI.t- rnAxcE. The hot, frcing weather lately vxxtd- riencetl in tliia country caused appre hension that the wheat plant may be rijaming too rapidly, but this fear has been to a great extent dispelled by the return of 9 cooler temperature. Tbe reports concerning the wheat crop are not so very favorable as might have been expected, tha latest accounts stat ing that the result will not be so koqZ iu ihsd been expected, and tb., the yield is very untv n. The wJ cat trade this week has la e i very quiet, and prices have exhibited adiooping tend ency. Oats have been tirmar, owing to icss favorable crop prospect, but Bye has given way in prici. OEUMAXY There has been a great improvement in tbe weather in this country, and the crops are already reported to be im proving It appears, however, that ow j r ing, to the previous unfavorable weather and absence of rain, tho harvest in the North and Kaat of Germany can not be near an average, but in the South end West the prospect is better The "term" markets this week have suffered a marked decline for both wheat and rye, withiu the last . three days there has lieen a slight recovery. HOLLAND 1M. xl ' .1 . xub weawier in inis country nss remained highly favorable for the crops, t 1 It 1 at wnicn are generally well spoken of. RUSSIA Last advices from Odessa speak very favorably ot tbe crops in tbe South of Russia, and with favorable weather an abundant yield is expected. The descrip- non oi ine crops in mis part ot llussia, telegraphed by the Times correspondent on the uth mst, is very far-fetched, and shows a very superficial acquaintance with the subject, but the upshot of the matter is, that tho prospect is un doubted ly very favorable. MIX Eft OTA CHOPS. St Paul, Aug. 4 Official figures for 1880 showed 2,960,000 acres ef wheat sown, and for 1881 only about G0U0 acres mora The average yield last year was 14.90 ier acre.

Some years ago it will bo remembered, that the companies crushed the coinpetltionof the Pacific mall steamers and Pan ama routo by discriminating against inert-hunt who patrunl.od them. Tho practice was to give heavy re bntos to shippers who should send all classes 6f goods by rail, but to charge exorbitant freights upon those who attempted to send only costly mid perhbnble goods in that manner, and use tbe other lino for bulky articles. The plan which worked so success fully in tho case of the Panama route has now been applied to filling vess els that go around Cape Horn. Mer chants in Ban Francisco who avail themselves of those moans of trans portation find it impossible to obtain any concessions from tho railroad companies, while rivals in business who patronize tho land routo exclu sively, are favored regularly with en ormous rebate on all classes of ship ments. This abuie of power is of a pleco with that pointed out bv Con gressman l):iggettgof Nevada, who bowed in his speech to congress last fall that tire regular tariff t Inland points is made up by adding the through rates to San Francisco to local rates from San Francisco laick to way stations. Congress has power to remedy tliese Impudent exactions, and no action could meet with so much favor among the peoplefa the shaking of n little sense into the man agers oi corporations wlm-h were founded through national aid and are fast becoming mere instruments of public oppression and private greed. 4 S rUC 1Mb MAiiAZlie.
