There Is a class of whelps coming

soon as they can be arrested and pan-
ished the better it will be for the
community at large. We allude to
that class of scoundrels who make it
ft business to gain the affections of
young ladies and then rob and betray
them. The ease of Lawrence, of Port

ladies should not forget It. Strangers

Metzger, seldom succeed. Almost
nil eases of that kind resuit the same
as this one. They are clear cases
of "piek up" in every sense uf the
words. Lawrence and Chase both
fooled their unsuspecting victims un

At this time the country is taking
a root ever the Guheau tri il and re
freshing itself with the breeze that
cesses from the sensational contest be
tween BlaiaOjOnd Frelinghuyson over
the Chili and Peru troubles. Blaine
has the reputation of being in the em
ploy of some of the leading railroad
BBoaopolios of tho United States.
When Secretary of State in that trans
continental railroad interest he applied
the Monroe doctrine to the b lilding of
tho Canal across the Isthmu? of Darien
by tho French Nabob. This was ro-
garded as asmll play of the lawyer
em the part of Blaine acting in tho
interest of his monopoly clients. The
English press made all sorts of fun of
Mr. Blaine's statesmanship on this
point. All nations Wsnt tho Canal
across tho Isthmus and no section of the
world needs it so much as the Pacific
States of America. That Blaine should
eppese the project with a wind bag,
claiming the right to prevent its execu
tion under tho Monroe doctrine, was tho
wonder of the year just past. Now wo
have tho same principle of interference
with Chili and Peru affairs announced
in his correspondence with our minister
of Porn. That the United States can,
or will take sides in that var is absurd
and Blaine knows it. If our country
is called upon to act as a peacemaker,
or to advise in the premises, very well,
.but to make herself eftmsivo and de
fensive in that war it cannot be done.
Mr. Blaine will never make his point
en President Arthur in this way.

Tho Roseburg Ptaindealer comes to
the rescue of M. C. George, our Con-1
gretsman, for having cut Ysquina Bay
off with $60,000, instead of $300,000
for its improvement, as recommended
by the Iiegis'aiare of Oregon a sum,
absolutely needed for the purpose
mentioned. Of course, tho Ptaindealer
says "wo know why tho Democratio
press makers this assault." If the
astute PlaindcaUr had pointed out oae
Democratic paper, as such, that has
made an assault en M. C. Gtfcrge for
this peculiar proceeding, we might ad
mit the premises, but no cam of that
sort exists. Inasmuch as the Plain
dmler charges the assault on the Demo
cratio party (when it knowa that the
isne is with the people) we accept it.
Now let it be distinctly understood
that with great ears and scientific in
vestigation, which were est 1 are no tori
ous, it was found '.hat $200,000 were
needed for the Ysquina improvement
This fact was brought before (not
Democratic legislature, thoegU Demo
crals voted for the Memorial) the Leg
islature of I sow ana a memorial was
passed ssking Confess fur this uoces

Congressman, . made a canvass in the
spring of 1S80 fur the position he now
holds, and pledged himself to aid al
these coast harbor improremeats. lie
had and opportunity this winter to
make his promise good,but tho reading,
thinking, and voting people e
central western Oregon are nee blind
to tho fact that M. C. George failed to
comply with tho prayer of the aomoria
of the Legislature of this State for bar
bor improvements on the coast at
Yaquina. If this ia to bo made
political party question, we arc willing
that Mr. George shall tar that il is
not consistent with his Republican
(or Portland) principles to aid any
other pert than the Columbia nver, or
haven of rest at Portland. This piece
of folly will retire Mr. George, though
the Plaindealet shall cover him i
over with "assaults of Democrats" that
were never made. There ia no party
question In this thin; it is an expres
sion of all forties that Mr. George has
proved recreant to his trust. This is
e
business, not politics, with the friends
of harbor improvement at Yaquina, and
.no doubt Mr. Geotge thinks it ia busi
noes and not iolitica with him. 11
cannot ride two horses ia this way,
Ho may get all he can for all tho bar
bors. but be should not ask for one
whst is not sufficient to do more than
to wear it out with U!av. The Plain-
dealer will tind that it cannot help Mr
George by abusing the Democratic
press in this matter. As the genial
C-pt. Cuttle would say, "over haul
your almanac, and when found make a
note of it."
HO DOC W IK DEBT.
The committee on War claims in
Congress have retried favorable for
the payment of the Modoc War debt.
The amount allowed by the State was
nearly $140,000. The amoui.t tbc
. m - e a
committee recommenaeu to r paw is a
little over $70,000, the sum fixed by
General Hardie, who reduced the com
pensation to stay rates. Tho State
allowed soldiers $2.00 per dsy, while
General Hardie gave them but thirteen
dollars per month. This, with m re
duction ia other respects, which
General Hardie made under army
rules, makes the difference in the
two amounts. The Tegis!ativc Com
mittee of Investigation je;orted $40,
000 worth of propei ty not accounted
for, and made quite a parade of virtu
ous indignation over the discovery.
One of the committee was one of the
first officers in command in the Modoc
War, and to publish his own t-hsase
was very bitter indeed. But ho took
no steps to correct tho foul libel on
our people, and left it to work out as
best it could. The Legislature of 1880
authorized a further investigation of
the Modes War business, and found
the $40,000 fully and correctly ac
counted fur. This committee report
ed that "In conclusion this committee
are of the opinion that the eleima for
hieh the bonds of the State were
given were correct and jusr." The
Committed of Investigation in 1878,
who reported that there were frauds to
tho amount of $40,000, were not
honorable enough to correct their
mistake after it was pointed out to
them. They have left tho impression
that there was no mistake, more
than to make a report that was
not true. mere are some persons
who will have it that our people arc
dishonest, and that the Modoc War
was nothing but a fraud. The people
understand these men, and arc familiar
with the moral yard stick with which
they measure themselves. The people
are bolied'and abused by them all the
same however. The claim when paid
will no doubt be paid in full, as allow
ed by the State.

Saturday the motion for a new tri
al in the Guitoau case came up for
decision, when Judge Cox decided
that there was no reason why it should
be granted, and therefore overruled
it. He then passed the sentence of
the Court on Guiteau id language
which does honor to this impartial
Jddge, condemning him to be hang
ed on June 30th, 1882, when it Is to
be hoped he will meet with bis just
reward.
Under this heading the Salem Statu
man, a stannsh friend of Yaquina Bay,
comas to the front boldly and censures
M. C. Gcergo for not doing in Congress
a hs had been instructed by the Ore
gon Legislature. Wo quote from it the
following :
Senator Grover has introduced a bill
to appropriate $200,000 for continu
ing the work of improving the
entrance ot Yaquina Hay. The last
Legislature, by unanimous vote, adopt
cd a memorial asking Congress to grant
this amount for Yaquina, and it was
elcarly the duty of Mr. George to de
mand it. The completion of tho Oregon
Pacific Railroad across the valley this
season will guarantee reduced rstes of
transportation, and the people not only
of the Willamette valley, but nlso ef
K sb torn Oregon, will fool mush aggrUva
ted if the; are partially deprived of the
benefita of this great enterprise through
the failure ef Congress to grant money
sufficient to welt advance the work of
improving the entrance to Yaquina
Bay. The depth of water new on the
bar at high tide is bet a few inches short
ef twenty fact, and It is estimated that
$200,t00 will finish the jetty aoross
the south channel and open the rocky
barrier aoross tho entrance so as to ad
mit deep water vessels. Every farmer
in Oregon is vitally interested in the
consummation of this work, and it
is the earnest wish of the Stateeman
that Congress will apptopriato the
amount asked for by tho legislature.

THEdrvallis Gazette prnyn Judge
Burnett a very doubtful compliment
when ho commvmh him for the
Judgeship en the sole ground that
ho is a neighbor of tho editor of that
paper. If Judge Burnett had no
other qualifications but that, it is
hardly probable that flov. Thayer
would even take M name Into con
sideration. But Judge Burnett needs
no such loft handed compliments.
He has been on the Bench in that
District, and gave as good satisfac

predecessors. Gov Thayer could net
make a Letter appointment.

to fill the vacancy. Well, why not?

Democrat any office?
Last Wednesday the Senate, on
met Ion of Slater, took up and passed
his bill authorizing the secretary of
Interior to sell G40 acres of the Uma
tilla Indian reservation contiguous to
the town of Pendleton, Oregon. The
bill requires this tract to be sold after
appraisement and 30 days advertise
ment to the highest bidder, payments
to be one-third cash and balance on
one and two years credit.
Dispatches received from Modesto,
California, last Wednesday says it Is
safe now to say that this year will be
a partial failure so far as the wheat
coop is concerned. The last sown
grain cannot survive. West side pros.

where irrigation can be bad. Sum
mer fallowed grain will probably
make little more than seed with the
usual spring rains. Stock is begin

It is whispered that one of the young

Mr. Editor, if it is a free fight lot mo

Bob Chambers is muck obliged to
KackenoBfskoweky fer informing him
that he ia about te captivate so pretty a

Scores of pretty girls, but hss not yet
succeeded iu captivating even a plain,

gray hairs adorn bio venerable brow,
be,wbea reviwoiag thepeot,ean aeo that
the fatal mistake ef his life is that he
did not learn to cook oysters. HtBtorv
most conclusively proves this to be his
one mistake. The banters were
cognizant of this fact when congratula
ting Mrs. Miller for the wisdom aad
foresight shown in "securing so efficient
a cook for a husband "
In conclusion Bob requests me to
advise tho youngsters who aro budding
into manhood Ie learn to cook. If you

Ed. Dtimarat:
There are two cases ef scarlet fever
up hete both are children of Mr.F. L.
Hyde.
The-Brownsville Woolen Mills Co.,
here just received some new looms
which will soon be ready for work.
We noticed a letter from Mr. Home
in your last paper, in answer to one
received from T. P. Hackleman, oa the
question of temperance. Hume'a letter
reminds me of our political campaign
of 1 880. He very highly rsteeroa the
resolutions of the club in your city.
Now. allow me to ask Mr. Hume if tha
Ctab in Brownsville did not pass
similar jack o'lantern resolutions in
18802 and did nor the Democratic party
have on their ticket one O. P. Coshow,
who was a life-long temperance man,
but the Republican Blue Ribbon men
ef this plaee went back on him for a
"jack o lantern" because tho office was
thai of a bold-over Senator. What
would Mr. Hume do in 18821 "A
burnt ehild dreads the fire." Judging
by the past we can see no good in this
temperanoe movement except the de
feat of such men as were beaten by
"jack o'lantern" in 1880, and who but
Republicans eeald oall such a result
good. It loeka to us like they wero
temperanoe only from the teeth out,
and inwardly stalwart Republicans
seeking to put up another political job
on us. What assurance have we that
this will net be a repetition of the tem
perance work of 1SS01 This commu
nity is quiet and peaceable aad will
support none but temperance men, but
we want no more drunken prohibition
its forced upon us by temperance
organisations. We do not wish a dis
cussion, but would like Mr. Hume te
answer our questions.

July, 1847. Tbey crossed the plains
to this coast in 1 8f2, and Heed part of

She leaves one sister, Mrs. Ann Mac, of

Price of Umatilla Co., Oregon; alee a
half brother, Rob Ceppoek, of sasse
place. Besides these she leaves in this
oounty n husband and thro children,
who deeply mourn her lees.
One of our bschelerty Mr. Bradford,
after bashing a abort time came to
the conclusion that there was no use
living alone any longer. After talking
the matter over with Miss Kaobel Riggs
tbey came to the conolusion that it was
best for them to occupy the same
bouse. On the 1st, Inst, be went onto
her father's boose snd there the twain
were made one. T. A. Riggs, the
bride's father, done the talking, and on
tbe same day he took her unto his own
bouse, there ti dwell with her unto
death. 1 would say to all youag men,
go thou and do likewiae.
