UWm UCESSB, And now the legislative mind in Missouri is grappling with the liquor question in that State, and like all other legislatures it finds uuoh difficul ty in sol ring so knotty a problem. The people of that State, acting through their Representatives, in the light of the knowledge which they have acquir ed by their juxtaposition to Kansas, Iowa and Nebraska, with their prohibi tory and high license lavs, seem to have arrived at the conclusion that the host thing to do is to impose a high license for the privilege of dispensing intoxica ting beverages. To that end the state senate has passed a license law which provides thst applications for licenses shall state specifically where the dram shop is to be kept, it requires the applicant to present to the county court a petition signed by two-thirds of the assessed tax paying citizens as shown by the last previous annual assessment of the city, incorporated town or muni cipal township where such dramshop is to be kept. The applicant is further required to give a bond in the sum of two thousand dollars with two or more securities, conditioned tLat the appli cant shall at all times keep an orderly house, that he will not sell or give liquor to a minor, without the consent of the parent or guardian, and that he will not violate any of the provisions of the dramshop law, and that he will pay all fines and penalties which may be imposed ander this law. The amount of the license is not less than $T50 nor more than $1200 per year to be determ ined by the court. The penalty for selling or giving away any liquor, in any quantity, by any dramshop keeper, upon or about his premises, on Ssnday is not less than $50 nor more than $200, and a convic tion of any person so offending, operates te forfeit the license which may not be issued again to such tenon for a period of two years. A very stringent damage law is also incorporated in the law. It will be seen that under the operations of this law there will be many places where a license can not be obtained, as a refusal en the pert of over one third of the as sessed taxpeying citizens of the town, city, or municipality will prevent the courts granting the license. LUuUoa lively effort has be, and is now being, carried Off to get the legislature to pro pose and submit to the people a prohibi tory amendment, but the only support it seems to have is among Democratic members, the Republican and Green back members refusing to introduce or support such a measure. The indica tions are that the above bill will pass the house and become a law. rMSSiejX PLAT. On Feb. 25th, a large number of peo ple collected at the residence of Salmi Morse, in New York City, to witness a dress rehearsal of the Passion jlay. A large number of police were stationed inside the bnildiag in citizen's drets. Polios Captain Williams was present, and notified Morse thst he would arrest him as soon as the curtain raised as it would be a violation of law to go on with the play without license. It wily be remembered thst the Mayor of New York refused to grant a license to Moiae, hence he sought to evade the law by presenting the piay at his own residence. lie claimed that he bad a right to present the plsy at bis own residence without a licence, but when the curtain was raised Capt. Williams arrested Morse end took him to the Station house when he was released en giving bail in the sum of five hundred dollar. WHO AKE VOTES. As the time for holding anneal ichool meetings approaches, we bear many inquiries from sll parts of the county as to what are the qualifications of voters. For the benefit of all con cerned, we print below the law defining the qualification of voters at such meetings : "Sec. 43. Any citizen of this State shall be entitled to vote at a school meeting who is twenty-one years of age, and has resided in the district thirty days immediately preceding the meeting, and who has property in the district upon which he or she pays a tax." It will be uteri that this includes females whether married or single, pro vided they have the .required qualifi cations. It is th opinion of the Chicago Timet that it is a harder matter for a poor man to enter the Untied States Senate than for a millionaire to go through the eye of a needle. Henry Ward Beeeher tells a reporter that the Republican party "is waiting for something to turn up." Yes, dear brother, it is waiting for its toes to turn up, and it won't have long to wait, either. Several State Legislatures this year have shown a dreadful lack of respect for Senatorial dignity of long standing. This is in the nsture of a solemn warn ing te a number who have yet to pass the ordeal. YHOUfSsm POTK TI VK TAKIFFS A tariff duty is unjust because it is an unequal taxation. It Is based upon the theory thai a men worth $15,000 will buy and consume ton times as many dutiable goods as the man who is worth but $1500. In order to bo a Just, and an equal taxation, the rich should buy dutia ble articles in proportion to the amount of their wealth, and not in proportion to their wants. To illustrate : If a man who is worth $1500 buys a Wade Butcher knife In tho market for $1.50, he pays as much duty or tax as the man does, who Is worth $15,000. Kaon man pays seventy five cents tax. Now where is the Justice In taxing $1500 as much as you tax $15,000. All taxes imposed directly by tho States are lovied upon property la accordance with its value. All im port taxes or duties should bo lev led In such a way as to bear upon the property of the country and not upon individuals. Why should this be so. Because the revenue collected by levying a duty upon imported arti cles Is used to maintain tho govern ment In return for the protection which government gives to life, liber, ty, and property. We are told that iee trade wlU ruin any country that adopts It lias It beggared Great Britain ? Ia 1840 the tonnage of Great Britain was 0,490,000 tons. In 1880 It was 48,. 490,000 tons. In 1S79 the sea-going trade of tho British Empire was $3,000,000,000, while the combined sea -going trade of the United States and the German Empire, both nnder protection, was but equal to that of the British Empire. The English at the present time have fifty two per cent of the carrying trade of the World. It were a great blessing to our people to bo thus beggared. Theoretically all customs duties, are wrong. Practically, with the great business interests of the country as they are adjusted at present, It would be impractiablfl te resort to free trade, but the tariff rates, as at present arranged, should be readjust ed and made to conform to the requirements of the government. The cry sot up by monopoly manu facturers that a protective tariff is the means of furnishing the farmer and producer with home markets for his produce is a sham put out to deceive. The truth is that beef, pork, whe-t, corn, and all stable-articles raised by the farmer, has to be sold upon the bases of tho Liverpool and London markets. Of course there art? now and then, local exception to this rule. Tluu compels our farmers and laboring men to compete with the labor of tho old world, and pay freight besides, while they, at the same time, buy all their goods at protective tariff rates. But if tax. ing a farmer and producer helps the manufacturer, why not tax the man. ufacturer to help the farmer and laboring man ? Has not the farmer and laboring man aa much right to ask to be "helped" under our system of government as the manufacturer ? Suppose now wc change this tariff program awhile. Buppose we levy a tax of $1,00 per hundred pounds on all flour consumed to be paid by the consumer. Would hot this protect, encourage, and "help" the "infant industry" known aa wheat pro duction t But we are gravely told by these manufacturers thst farmers and mechanics do not need protection. What manifestation of selfishness ! These protected "pets" of Republican rule decide that they do need protection, aod, actuated by the same spirit of self interest, they decide thst the farmer and laboring man do not need protect ion. If this tax of $1 per hundred pounds were placed upon flour, these manufacturers would say at once that this would raise the price of flour. But bless your "ignorsnt," (unsophisticated souls, would not this tax uon flour lower the price by thus "protecting it V Would it not enable the farmer to pay higher wages for labor on the farm, and thus 'protect" American labor? Besides thii would create a home market for all the manufacturer ha to sell. But we are told that our "infant ia- dustriea" must be "oroteuted" until they have ho firmly established them selves as to be able to live without "protection." Well, we have "protect ed" many ef them for eighty to ninety years, and now we want to know when these ''infanta" will arrive at years of discretion. But away with such folly. fhe only reasonable excuse for a tariff duty is to raise revenue, and when tbe demand for revenue ceases, tLen tbould the duty be removed. It is learned ujkhi good authority that Senator Davis, president pro tem of tbe senate, will resign on the third of March, in time to allow his successor to be elected without requiring an extra session. It is understood that Senator Davis resigns with tho stipulation that the present organization of offices of the senate, which is controlled by Demo crats, shall not be disturbed until the regular session next December. It cannot be told with certainty what effect upon an extra session the possi ble failure of the sen ate to act upon the Mexican treaty may have. If the treaty be not ratified before the 30th ef March it is possible that the President may think it wise to call an extra session especially for that purpose. siLvaa. Tub New York Evening Pott comes to the front and advises every business man to put his business, to far aa pos sible, oa tbe gold basis, by stamping or writing the word "gold" on every piece of paper they receive. This recommen dation is given by the Pod in view of what it terms the "alarm" concerning the prospects of silver coinage. The Pott and many other Republican news papers have, far years, bean urging the demonetisation of silver in the inter ests of eastern capitalists, but the Pott and other corporation organs should be taught, once for all, that the act ef Congress in the remonettsation of silver was based upon the general interest of the people, and not upon the interests ot a few rich corporations. This ad vice ef the Pott is pare nullification as by law silver coin ia a legal tender in all amounts. The whole trouble about the accumulation of silver coin in tbe vaults of the IT. 8. mints and Treasury, is found in tho fact that the Treasury has, ever since the government began coining silver under the silver bill, been under the control of men who were controlled by capitalist, and who were opposed in the first instance te tbe passage of that bill. The execution of the law is in tbe hands of those who are opposed to its execution. It should be paid out to all government official on their salaries and te pay all current expenses of the government. If it were thus put out into circulation i would be a great relief to the govern ment and the ieeple as-well. The op ponents of silver talk in a very blatant manner about making a silver dollar out of 84 cents worth of ailver, but such talk seems to be mere demagog ism. People are generally well enough in formed to know that the ailver dollar passes currently at par all over the country alongside of gold and green backs. They know also that it was st s discount of four and five per cent be fore the passsge of the silver bill, and that a person lost from 80 cents to $1 on every twenty dollars of ailver which he accumulated. They know also that poor people handle more silver than the rich, because the accumulations of the poor are'in small amount, hence the poor people are the greatest suffers when ailver is st s discount, white en the other hand the rich take advantage of this disparity in lbs price of silver an-', speculate in it by buying and sell ing it as tbsy would any commodity. These gentlemen who are in favor of a single standard, have no objections to coining silver in any amount provided that it shall not be a Irani tender. If Congress will only repeal the law mak ing: silver s legal tender, these rich eotVa'.ionn -ill have nothing further to complain of about silver. Tbey want all the silver possible in circula tion so that they can apeculste in it, and at the asms ttms not be forced to take it in payment of debts due them. But we opine that even an ordinary Congressman who looks te the satisfy ing of hts own ambition only, baa too much political sagacity to be led into a crussde against ailver aa a legal tender iwrT caumcta. Lebanon, Or., Feb. 24), ! -Edt. Democrat: mm Mm a 4t em In toe last issue or your pat -or we were very much pained to see a crtti cum reflecting on the elocutionsry pow era of Hiss A. R. Luse from the pen of your correspondent Leb. Miss Luse came to Lebanon on invitation of the "Santiam library Association,' and gave as a free gift te that worthy or ganization one-half of the entire amount received on both evenings that ho fa vored our citizens with her selections. Miss Lose, slthough laboring under an indisposition caused b) a severe cold, did marvellously well ; her rendition of the pieces selected for tbe two evenings compsring favorably with that of the most finished elocutionists it baa been our good fortune to bear, and we will gladly welcome her back to Lebanon when her engagements will permit her to visit us once again. The foregoing is written by one who was in attendance each night, and signed by a few of her many appreciative bearers, and not aa the cri licit m in your issue of last week, by an absent otitic who eigne himself "Leb."

Democrat : Most ot our wheat and oata a r gone up. The freeze has killed mosteof tbe fall grain. Our school closed here on the 20th. Tbe teacher, Miss dinger, gave aa ex hibition which was an honor to the scholars as well as' tbe teacher. Tbe scholars did extra well, showing that they were well trained. Tbe school Superintendent, Mr. Moses, made quite a glowing speech. He gave our eld .1 . . a . ... scuooi no u so quite a blast, we are aware that we need a new house but it takes money to build a house. I think we will try to vote a tax to build one, but ic will be a rub as to whether we will or not. Oakvillb. The attempt of tbe Republicans te suddenly carve Dakota into two States is something like ringing in a cold deck in a gentlemen's game. "He who is ready to buy up his ene mies will never wt a supply of them." It is cheaper to bny a friend in Kidney Wort who will drive away these miser, able enemies, a torpid liver, constipation, diabetes, piles, diseased kidneys and bowels. This remedy is now prepared in liquid as well as dry form. TANCKSTITKMH, Tangent, Or., Feb. U6th, 188.1. Mkte. Democrat: As moat of the precincts of the conn ty, exeept Tangent, are represented in your cobtmns I thoaght I would try to interest your readers with a few items from this place. The general topic now is "seed wheat" ; the late freeze having killed or seriously injured all of the fall grain. limmim IL The fields, which only a short time ago presented a rich, green color, are now looking as though they had passed through a drought. Nothing of any special interest has transpired recently, more than ear once sickly village has again been restored to health, which gives all a happy smile. Brother Iceland stopped here long enough to infuse the people with tho spirit of Temperanoe, and seme of his antic oddities seemed to have a good effect, at least for the present, a a be succeeded In establishing a lodge of Tempi sir with l h charter members. It ia hoped the institution will be profita ble to the community in leading the young men of Tangent fioai the erron oua paths of vice and immorality, into the bounds of honorable, temperate lives, that in future years their influence may tell for good on these who chance to live after them. Ao:brose Beard lost oae sheep and another had its leg broken the other dsy ; cause of which, was the ears. Jo. Simpson will shortly move upon his farm near this place and O. Seott will move to the village which will simply be an exchange ef neighbors. Mr. Simpson thinks be will like coun try life much better than city life. IrJLIm XASti BTATtWX ITKS. Uxo Station, Feb. L'Cth, 188.1. A'. Democrat : A petition is being circulated rela tive to tbe di vhrion ef school district No. 17. Wo see no just reasons why it should not, as there hi a large set tlement east of the Lebanon and Jefferson road, whose children have to walk from two to three miles. We, the citizens of this community, wan't a Post Office, st Lang Station, it being situated near the half-way point, on the Albany and ljebaaon stage line. The expanses would be Very small, and it would accomodate a large community who have to go from six to eight mtlea for their mail. In aa issue of year paper, some time ago, we noticed in the items from " Leb anon," some criticisms in resard to Miss A. 11 Luse at an elocutionist. Ws think the criticisms were very un just, and would nave replied sooner, but we thought undoubtedly some of tho good people ef Iebanon would make a reply. But I think they ooncluded to consider the source and hit it go. ww ass t f.n a . a every oouv te invitau to he at tue Borkbart school house, Friday, March 9th, as that will he the close of a siz month's school.

Democrat : Thinking thst s few lines from this part ef the country might be of interest to some ef your many readers, I thought I would try to give you a few items. Ia the first place we have been hav ing some very cold weather ; we had a very cold spell from about the 14 th to the 20th of Jan., tbe thermometer going as low as 14 degrees below zero ; then we bad a chineok that took tbe snow all oil and nearly all the frost out of tbe ground. It turned cold again the 1st of February, and has remained quite cold ever since. It was coldest about tbe 5th, the thermometer going as low as 24 degrees below sere. At present it has tbe appearance of anoth er cbinook. We do not think that tbe fall wheat is injured any by tbe cold weather, aa we had about 4 inches of snow, and tbe ground in this country does not heave tbe grain out when it freezes. Stock ia doing tolerably well ; have not beard of any losses except a few eld, toothless sheep. But I think that some cattle and horses msy stick in the mire when a thaw comes, as, st such times, the ground becomes very soft. Badger ia the name ef a new Post- office just established here. It is shout midwsy between Deschutes and John Day 'a River, and about 16 miles from Puitonville, which is at the mouth of Derek utes. We are in tbe center of what we believe to be one of tbe finest wheat growing regions in- the State. We have a blacksmith close by, but are in need of a merchant, a doctor, and such ether men of business as go to maks up a complete community. The Baptists have a churoh organization here, with preaching twice a month, by the Rev. T. Clay Neece, Tbey also have a flourishing Sunday School, nn der the able management of Deacon H. Neece. Wskavslso just organized Yosemite Lodge of I. U. G. T. at this place, with Mr. A. T. Zumwalt, W. C. T., and Mr. Theo. T. Maboney, W. 8. Our school district numbers about 46 pupils, and the district school is being taught by Miss C. A. Rose of your county. This country is settling up very rap idly, notwithstanding it is a long dis tance from timber, barbed wire being used for fencing. Rough lumber can be had at the Columbia river for from ejo to per thousand, wood a worth at the same place about $6.50 per cor J, and coal about f 11.50 per ton. Thomas R. Badger. VVu not NQTBS. Lathe, Or., fstf'90, 183. Editor 't Democrat t J. W . (Juslok has gone Kast of the Mountains to look alter his stock, and he expects te be gone some two months. The fall grain in this part of the county is almost totally killed, but very few, if any fields, escaped. Quite a number of farmers havs already reaow n with spring grain, and many more would if seed could be obtained. Spring wheat i selling among the farmers at $1.50 per bethel. The necessity of the occa sion brought around by the severe freeze only offers an advantage to those who have spring grain to press the harder their fellow farmers who sre in went. It simply illustrates thst greed msy bo found In one class as well as another. Some fellow thinking to prepare for cold weathsr relieved Dr. Powell of two overcoats one night last week. The Dr is inclined to think he must have been rather a cold calculating follow that would take all and lesvo him shivering in his professional vieits. There are quite a number on the sick list. John Battle has been confined to bis bed for several days, a I no Mrs F. M. Miller and Miss Alii (Jouipton. All are getting better. Jeeeph Nixon hss takan charge of e Centennial hotel. It is proposed to renovate aad rvfurniah the building, and under tbe management of Mr. Nix on II will be a first class hotel. A quiet wedding took place ia town on last Friday evening. Tho contract ing parties were James Mcdonald and Miss Kllen Himons. Tbe ceremony was perfotmed by Justice Cruson. Tbe happy couple have tbe kiod congratu. lations of many friends, Mia Dr, Powell has been on a visit to friends in Polk County. Mrs J.

His funeral toek place at tbe Chilatian Church, of this place, snd the discourse waa delivered by Rev Whitney of Kugene. While hie remains were being conveyed from bis father s residence to tbe Church tbe remaining members of the band played a dirge and the church bell and school bell were tolled. About three hundred persons witnessed tbe last aad rites at tbe grave which, being in the bands ef the tiood Templars and remaining members of the band, were carried out in a very affecting manner. Ho once mere we see life's close come in tbe morning ef life, and that "The King of Shadows lovea a abining mark" ia again verified. The entire oommonity deeply sympathizes with the bereaved parents and family in this aad aifliciion. Mrs Hendricks has teen quits sick, but is now better. P. II.

The funeral services of tbe late de ceased Squire Randall were bold last Sabbath at the M. E. Chrjrcb, by Rev. Mr. Rider, of this vicinity.

The Union Sunday School is in a prosperous condition, with Mr. Riley Shelton gs superintendent. The charter members of the Young Men's Social Club that was organised here three years ago. are all married except three, and they are eligible and industrious as those who have been more fortunate than they.

Democrat : I attended tho Installation of thn officers at Keox Butte Orange on Saturday the 24 tost. Their large grange hall was crowded. Thrro was not enough room left to install con veniently. At half past eleven, tho worthy matter, Brother Farewell, called the grange to order, and grated the officers elect on tho left of tho hall. lie notified the grange that worthy past master of tho State grango, Bro. Cyrus, was authorized to Install our officers. Mr. Cyrus proceeded by an original address, to sbow thst the President of the Uni ted States, the Senators, Congress men and all other officers had to take an oath beforo taking charge of their ofllcee, and that all organizations bail te take certain pledges as well as the officers of the grange. His remarks were very appropriate and tho best attention was jmhl to him. Ho then proceeded to Install tho officer, qm slstod by L. W. Pemeroy and M re, A. B. Morris. The installation was well conducted by all parties. After this wan ever, Bro. Wilds, master ef the grange, declared a recess of one hour, Inviting alt to the room bolow, where there were two large tabio tilled with pies, rakes, chick on and In fact everything that was good. When I looked at tho table It secur' red to me thst the good sisters of Knox Butte grange could not bo beat en gutting up a good dinner. (Mr. J-kl., had I kratwn that the installation was public, I would have given you an invitation, o you coeld have seen that 1 am telling the truth about the dinner.) It appears to me If the brothers ef tho grange could easjpef ate together as well as those good els tars that Knox Butte grange will soon be the banner arrange of the State. Dinner being over, Brother Wilds called the beuseto order, and road tho program for the evening. Bro. Cyrus waa called for, and deliv ered an address of about twenty five minutes. Mo showed the general objects of the order ; that in 1871-2 the farmers of tho United States be gan to feci the necessity of combining for tnelr own protection and improve ment, that the feeling ef discontent with their condition and the convic tion that their difficulties were nol inroparable from their calling was almost universal. lie said that they organised farmer's club, and tho next remedy was tho grange. He also showed bow much we have been benefited by the education received in tho grange during tbe past nine years Bro. Pemeroy was next caUt-4 for. I lie was so eager te make a big speech that ho did not know where to begin. Be talked about twenty minutes. He mado things very lively during bis speech. Not being In tho habit of speaking before so larg an audience, he was somewhat oxcited. Nlmrod Payne followed. He talked about thirty minutes, and made tho best effort I cvor beard him. His many friends were more then pleased. His argument was with great force and feeling; A. B. Morris talked about thirty minutes. He showed bow the members had been benefited flnancl ally, soclslly and morally by tho grange. Tbe noxt speaker wa bro. Marshall, master of Harmony grange. He talk ed very well and aid a great many true things. Hro. Wilds read a spleadid oaxsy. 1 think brother Pomcroy and bro. Marshall nHN:od him in getting it up. . Hon 8. A. Dawson was next called for. Every one was well pleased with what he nakl. Jlobert Houston, bro. Custer and brother Marshall furnished oa with splendid inatru mental music. It gave great life to the grange. Bro. Clay i'oweil and daughter, bro. Joseph PowHI' daughter, Morris Powell snd a great many other, whose names I have forgotten, furnished us with vocal music. In conclusion I would say that the meeting was a grand success. You may expect just suon meetings as long as you elect such men masters as bro. Wilds, bro. Farswci! ami Mart Miller. I will ask tbe enemies of tbe grange if there is any class of people In the world better calculated to edu cato the young women and men than the substantial farmers of Linn County. I do not wonder at the good sisters of that grange for getting up good dinners when I see so many of f heir children aro members. A Oranegr. noi ikii. Taraor's March I, IS-S3.
