As Filley is a strong Stalwart, another

Skcbetary Hcst will probably re

AivoBDtxu to the official vote iu the
State of New York all the Republican
candidates were elected by pluralities
of about 13,000, except for Treasurer,
Maxwell, the Democratic candidate
being elected by a plurality of 20,943.
Mas. Job Dams, daughter of the
new Secretary of State Frelingbuysen,
and wife of the President's private
secretary, will be the new lady of the
White House. It is a relief to hear
that the important matter has at last
been settled.
CoxaaEss evidently means business
on the Mormon question. Senator
Edmonds has introduced a bill which
if passed wilt be ike death blow to
polygamy. How both Housee will
stand up to the work when they oome
to vote is something there ought to be
no doubt about. Yet party interests
may change the course of events.
A whole new war vessel hss been
a hied to the nary. Surely the United
States is getting extravagant when she
seeks to raise this department above
the deep it has been sailing in. And
it is further saitf that 40 new iron-clad
vessels are to be constructed. Peibaps
after all we may sometime have a navy
that will at least be an honor to a third
nation.
The Sunday Qrtyonian came to band
this week in a double form. It is now
not only the largest paper published in
the northwest, but the best More
than that, it compares favorably with
the leading papers of San Francisco,
and in some features is superior. If
it keeps up its excellent start there
can be"oo doubt of its future success.
The editor of the "London Times"
says that the population of the United
States wiU be at least 2w0,000(006 in
2000. This is good news and speaks
for the development of Oregon at well
as others of the United States, so thst
at that time we may expect to have a
popula ion of some where near 5,000,
000, and if the flood should come this
way particularly fast it might be in
creased to considerably more.
The total production of gold and sil
ver in the United States during the
last fiscal year wss $75,200,000. a fal
ling off of $4,000,000 since the year
before. Colorado now takes the lead,
with a production of $20,200,000 dur
ing the last year, $17,000,000 of which
was silver. California could show but
$18,600,000, nearly all of which was
geld. Nevada dropped off from the first
position in 1879, to the 3rd in 1880
Oregon is stationary with a oompari-.
lively Terr small yield.
The Ovteau trial still drsgs along
in the same disgtaasal manner, and no
a.. .a m . m
one seems to know waa .he tesult is
going to be. Certain it is ti.i the
prisoner is being completely unmasked
in his character of lunatic, which be
has attempted to assume. The only
object Scoville, his attorney, seems to
have in view, is to make himself no
torious in order to get a practice in the
future, and like most fools of his stripe
he will take the lecture field and during
the holidays endeavor to get enough
money to carry him through the trial.
The people who have witnessed this
trial have been becoming more and
more convinced that a errand farce u
being enacted.

In the death of John Weiss Forney,
net only the Democracy, but the nation
at large loses one of its ablest men. He
was born at Lancaster, Pennsylvania,
September 30tb, 1817. He began i
journalistic career at an early age
which proved to be one of the most bril
liant in the annals of American journa
alism. Until 1851 he published sever
al Democratic papers. At that time he
was elected clerk of the House of Rep
resentatives, which position he held for
five years. In 1857 he started Forney $
Prest, which, through a long series of
years took a leading rank among the
Democratic papers of the United States
and became famous for its forcible,
fearless exposition of the doctrines of
the nartv it espoused. At its estab
lishment it was of the Stephen A.
Douglas stripe and opposed the admin
istration of Buchanan. Col. Forney
was' clerk of the 36th Congress,
and is entitled to great credit for his
vigorous support of the national govern
ment. From 1861 to 1868 he was
Secretary of the Senate, and since then
has been actively engaged on the Press
and, besides, hss published several
works, which have placed him among
the foremost of American writers. ' His
loss, like the loss of all able men, is a
groat one, but he leaves behind him
monuments which will keep him in
memory for years to come,

This city bears a strong relation in
commercial matters to other rt of
our State and Washington, within a
radius of fifty miles, Portland cannot
prosper without extending the effect of
its prosperity to other points surround
ing it. That the city is spreading over
a large tract of country is plain to be
seen. Up and down trio river; and
east and west this growth continues
East Portland is no longer out of the
city proper. For business puqtoses it
is a part of this great city. For five or
six miles back from the river, Hast
Portland is crowding the property into
large values. Lands that were selling
for ten dollars a few years ago now sell
for fifty dollars and upward per acre.
And East Portland in a few years will
extend really for miles to the east.
Small tracts of land for residences will
bo used, and all of thorn will bring large
prices. We are told that a few lots of
land on third Street, Portland, were of
fered two years ago for twelve thousand
dollars, but not taken, and this month
they sold tt twenty-five thousand dol
lars cash. This prosperous condition
of things must extend up the valley
and property here generally will take
an upward tendency. As the country
increases in population we may feel
that it is becoming more valuable and
that towns snd cities will partake of
this new growth. Our valley towns
are behind the country and it will not
sj
bo long before they will present a more
active appearance and buainess will in
crease until it is fully up to the de
mands of the rapidly developing country
around them. When Portland gets
her 50,000 inhabitants, or her 100,000
in five years, as predicted by Mr.
Villard, she will be much nearer to
Albany than she is now. Then we will
be only two hours and a half from
Portland whereas we are now four or
five hours distant. Our railroad trains
will run forty miles sn hour instead of
fifteen to twenty. It is a misfortune
that the bridge is not built at Portland.
East Portland people will long remem
ber the manner by which they were
deprived of it. and the insults they
bore for asking for it. Their day for
revengeful joy will surely come in good
time, and bring with it the evidences
of great thrift in the many pursuits
followed bv f ietu.

We have noticed that granges and
other organizations are making plat
forms for the coming spring election.
They have touched oa nothing but
what has been discussed befote. We
think there are many things to be consid
ered snd smong them we find the sub'
ject of sd utter ating food.
As strange as it appears it is no lees
true that ao article can remain long
genuine if it is cheaper to adulterate it.
Spices are so prepared that but a small
portion of the bulk is genuine. Candles
are represented to bo sperm, when in
fact when lighted they will drip a con'
stent stream of apparently flour and wa
ter, or some other foreign substance
They ere not sperm, snd in no case do
they answer the name they bear and un
der which they are sold. Our syrups
are in almost all cases a preparation of
glucose and villainous acids, ruinous to
the body that uses them. All articles
used in cooking are adulterated, with
but few exceptions. liquors are doc
tored until no confidence is put in the
article called for. With a few gallons
of alcohol most any kind of liquor is
produced. There is shoddy in every
thing. The natural impulse is to do
wrong in these matters. If the coun
terfeited article will only represent the
genuine in some wsy by color, taste
or smell it is all that is wanting. The
time lost in preparing frauds of this
kind is never counted. Why do not
our reformers look into these matters
and naas a law nunubing all men who
a a
sell adulterated articles. Mske it I
criminal offence to sell them or manu
facture them. It is time this wai done.
Genuine articles cost no more than the
counterfeit in reality. The legislature
can protect the purchasers by making
stringent laws and enforcing them
promptly. And it is the duty of citi
zens to see that a law is enacted to pre
vent the sale of adulterated articles.
This bleasinir would be hailed with
great satisfaction.

One of the most horrible theater
fires ever recorded was that of the
burning of the King theater in Vienna
on Friday evening of last week. A
theater is the natural place tor tragedy,
and does well when it is only fiction,
but when a thousand persons are seen
writhing in lurid.fburning flames, all
ooetrv vanishes. The br? started on
the stage, and the cowardly stage-inana
gers deserting their posts, the whole
theater was soon enveloped in tire and
smoke. Only the galleries were occu
pied, the elite not having arrived. Escape
was impossible. The last report places
the number at 916, who met their
death in this horrible manner.
A bill has been introduced in the
House of Representatives reducing
the tariff on imported goods 10 per
cent, i his is a move in the right di
rection. If we cannot have absolute
free trade the next best thing is a reduc
tion, and if this were to be followed up
every year or even five years we would
soon have a system of tariff more in
keeping with the advanced spirit of
our government.

Last week tho Oreyonian notified the
public generally that it would oppose
Mr. J. 11. Mitchell should ha seek po
litical prefermont at tho hands of his
party. The announcement was made
in a very unfriendly, not to say bitter,
spirit There was an air of contempt
feigned for the Ex-seuator. Tho Orv
gonian has exhibited this leeling beforo
towards Mr. Mitchell. This fight is
personal and not political. It has been
growing fer some time, and it is gener
ally understood that Mr. Mitchell hss
the best of it. The republican party
we apprehend will pay no more attrn
tioa to the threats of tho Orejonum in
regard to the Mitchell trouble than that
paper paid to the regular HepuMioan
nomination made for Mayor of the city
of Portland at the last election. The
regular Republican party has no uso for
such a distracting element as tho Or
fenasm, And when that paier threatens
Mitchell or his friends with political
death if he is made a candidate (or any
thing, it counts without its host. Ihtfi
is no Republican in the State that can
walk over the subsidized body of the
Ortyonian so easily ai Mitchell. AuU
when the day comes for the contest, the
Oregonian will realise that threats and
bombast will not deter Republicans
from supporting J. 11 Mitchell for any
oflice be wants. By some means
Mitchell has the confidence and support
of tho Republican forces. And as
against the Oregoaian he will tnaiutain
them to the bitter end. Democrats can
afford to see this fight go on to a g'ori
ous issue. And when the signal is
given, Mitchell will nuke this knight
of the quill bawl out for ' An aw, an ass;
my country for an aas to lake me out
of the Slate." "Roll on, ye wheels of
time etc."
J auks W. Ki:i :, thu new apoaker

Editor Unitocral:
Dear Sir : 1 have just returned from
a week's stay at Yaquina Bay. Vory
stormy woathor during tho past three or
four weeks has sevotely levied tho
strength and atubility of tho unfinished
works on the broakwator. I am much
pleased to bo able to say that no daw
age whatovor has boon done. On the
contrary tho piling in of tho sand by
tho sea both outside und inside ol the
breakwater has sol idi tied and strength
ened the work. Mr. Polheiuua, tho
Kngiueer in charge, is thoroughly satis
fied, considering that tho soundness of
the principle on which the works are
planned is now demonstrated, iio pro
.-it a
posea to uae sllll larger aim heavier
rook as the jetty is pushod forward into
deeier water, aud is making arrange
ment to handle masao of four or six
tons weight, llu is leaving for u short
viait to the hast, to which leu month
continued service at Yaquina entitles
htm. Aa thu plaut and outht, nml i.Un
of working, now arranged wilt enable
tho Kngineer to handle as much as . u
tons of rock a day, or even more, 1
think Captain Powell (the superinten
dent engineer of the district) aud Mr.
rolhemusara welladviMod in expending
the greater part ol the sum subscribed
by the citizens in the work at the quar
ry. There arrangements now made
will provide a large accumulation of
rock against the re-oening of activo
ork on the breakwater itself; your
readers will recognize how largo the
quantity needs to bo to keep going the
deosition in piece ia deep water of 2 SO
tons a day.
I have heard to-day te my great sur
prise that a rumor ia circulating to the
fleet that the U. K. hugitieers are
abandoning working. The following
extract from a letter which I Cut t ml
here yesterday from Captain Powell is
iierhaps the best answer to such a sng
gration "We have not ceased yet to
congratulate ourselves about tho stabil
ity of even our unfinished work under
the severe test of October's territhc
storm. V ith only a tnoderato appro
rlation for next year, and the preaeut
elp of donated funda, wo will extcud
the jetty so fast and make it ao solid
thst the expectations of the moat aan
guino will be exceeded. Yaquina
ought to have a liberal appropriation,
not only to cover the impiovemeut of
the entrance, but to make tho bay, on
the inaide, more capacioua."
This docs not leok much like abatt
do.iment. The only protext that 1
know of for a rumor such as I have
mentioned may be Mr. Polhemua' tern
porary absence, and the leaving of sev
eral forem-n not now, needed either
from the completion of the plant and
outfit they wew workiuz on, or because
of the concentration of work for a time
on the quarry. Uno tuiui; 1 would
say, namely, that I trust tbete will be
ao delay in paying up the suras sub
scribed at once. And thia because it is
on jMtymritfs to Capt. Powell's credit,
and not on promises by me or any other
man. that he relies in making definite
and fixed the arrangement ho is now
engaged in for thu winter. It is hard
ly necessary to say that the V. H. Engi
neer officers in undertaking to ex (tend
the citizens' money under authority of
the Secretary of War, must have tho
moneys to oxpend. Kach and all must
therefore iay up if they dealt e the
work to proceed, and ranit uot begin to
find fault with the Engineers for not ex
pending moneys they have not received.
rrora Benton County el 000 in money,
snd tho railroad comany's aid in ma
terials, have been received and ac
knowledged, and farther sums will be
sent on shortly.

Money raised by taxation ought to
be scrupulously spplied to tho purKses
specified by la and to none other.
Tho revenue of tho county is not a
charity fund end I, for one, object to
having it paid out for any purpose un
less required bv law. The laws of
Oregon, page 47H, sec. 117 provide.
"When a district attorney attends be
fore a Wistrate, and conducts an ex
amination on behalf of the State, upon
a charge of the commission of crime he
is entitled to a fee ef five dollars thero
for . ' Section 118 pro
vides: "The district attorney may
prosecute an action in a justice's court
or attend an examination before a
magistrate, either in person or by some
person appointed by him for that pur
pose, and in either case be is entitled
to the fees allowed in this chapter there
fore ."
Let tho tax-payers of Linn County
inquire if these sections have not been
violated in a'numbor of instances. Ilavo
not justice's of the peace assumed to
appoint an attorney in a number of
cases to represent the stato in the ab
sence of the district attorney, and have
not fees been certified and paid to such
persons out of the county treasury? It
is through this loose construction of the
law that much money is wasted and
taxes greatly increased. This is only
a single instance.

everything Is foreortainud and ev

would ho bo hung for murder. Now
It would appear tho CalrinUUc doc
trine Is assailed hero and In order
to spook clearly and to advantage up
on this subject I will call up the scrip
turos and ChrlM'e apostles and exam
ine what they say. I supposo this
Gospel man will receive tho Mcrlp
turos ua proof. "The Most High ml

holy and without blamo beforo Hun
in love. In whom also wo havo ob
tained an inheritance, being predestl
natod according to the purpose of Him
who worketh all things aftor the
counsel of his own will." It is clear
ly maintained hero in this first chap
ter of Ephesiang that (Jod inado
choice of his elect leforo ho laid the
foundation of tho world, that wo
should be holy, and without blamo
beforo him In love, having predestl
nated us unto tho adoption of chil
dren by Jcpus Christ, to himsolf ac
cording to the good pleasure of his
will.
The Eloction which tho apostle
Here speaks of was more than a choos
ing of them to external church
privileges for wo sco that he says,
(Jod had predestinated thorn to tho
adoption of children, by Jesus Christ
to himsolf. And as he says in Rom
8 and 17, "If children then heirs of
God and Joint heirs wilh Christ," and
then immediately adds, "according
as he hath chosen us in him beforo
the foundation of tho world that we
should be holy." Thoir being blessed
with all spiritual blessings In Christ
wai according to God's foregoing
choice of them. It was tho fruits of
a gracious and eternal purpose to that
end. And as they wore chosen not be
eausb they would be holy, but that
they should bo holy their goodness
was not the causo but tho effect of
their election. And ver. 5; they
were predestinated to be the children
of God, not according to their good
works or dispositions but according
to tbo good pleasure ef his will, not
to their own praise; but to tho praise
oi tho glory cf his grace as it follows;
ver. 0. And very oxpressly to tho
samo purpose ho says, ver. 11, "In
whom also we havo obtained an in
heritance, being predestinated accord
ing to tho purpose of him who doeth
all things after tho counsel of his own
will." I am vory surol ff these
passages were found in any other
book but in tho biblo everyone wonld
readily believe they contained the
Calvanistic doctrine of election. I
cannot understand how any man dan
take up tho biblo and say there is no
doctrine of election in it.. If he
(Gulteau) was tried by Calvanists
would he hung for murder ? I
answer, yes; certainly, he would.
Did notGod raise up Judas for tho ex
press purposeef betray ingJesus Christ?
Wa3 he not hung; did ho not hang
r till his bowels came out? Judas be
trayed Christ for money; Guiteau
murdered President Garfield for
money, and ho ought to lang like
Judas till tho crows eat him up.
Thero is not a Calvanistic jury in the
world but would hang Guiteau tiil he
is doad. Although God doeth all
thinga according to the counsel of his
own will.
