The present State Legislature will go on
record aa the most personal one ever to
grind out lows. Not only has it been twist
ed right and left by personal charges of
members against members, but, as well, it
has been filled with the reading of locally
personal Mils. It would seem as if most of
the members instead of working for the
State at large were simply rustlers for their
Immediate friend or friends or community.
The spectacle is a funny one. In a meas
ure though it is a repetition of all Legisla
tures, even Congress.

Chinamen may be very close fisted when
it comes to sawing wood, but in matters of
New Years festivity they are a needle going
through a camels eye. The M. A. T. can
remember when he rejoiced at being able
to secure a solitary bunch of fire crackers
and fire them one at a time. The Celes
tials, though, shoot them off by the hun.

Last week in this city Qwong Sing fired
$40 worth at a snap, and this is only a

of superstition and not liberality. They fear

February is upon us. This ought to be
a respectable sort of a month. George
Washington was born on the .und, Galileo
on the 15th and St Valentines day occurs on
the 14th. Instead of this it U about the
most suicidal, melancholy period of the
whole year. It is a continuation ofughs
and ooze. Mud by the square mile and the
tail end of our State Legislature flaps. Be
sides this Congress is always in session this
month, whether the session is long or short.
O
It will be observed in Mr Brigg's weather
report for January that the total rainfall was
1 2.58 inches. Remarkably large. The M.
A. T. has figured the matter and estimates
the weight of such a rainfall over the whole
of Linn county at 1,300,000,000,000 pounds,
showing the immense force in nature, be
sides which man's strength as an atom. In
February 1881 the rainfall was 13.0b inches,
the only other time the January rainfall has
been exceeded for many years.
O
A bill is before the Legislature asking
that all males of legal age be allowed to
vote at school meetings and women holding
property, now voters, be denied the privi
lege. The M. A. T. believes this law should

such a privilege. Once on a time we had a
big fight over this issue of taxation without
representation. Any man who proposes to
take this little privilege away from tax-pay-

way to Yaquina Bay, they having accepted

wie woras ai me nay. iney returned on
Tuesday night. The present Legislature
has been exceedingly fortunate in the num
ber of free rides it has secured. In fact
that lias been the rule. This one turned out
more extensive than at first intended. A
land slide Monday morning prevented the
party reaching Salem until Tuesday night
The unfeeling pnblic ' generally ex
pressed regrets that they reached there at
all ; but this was, joking, though there was
some kernel to the nut.
t KBKAT EVENTS.
Rrairan was re-elected Senator from
Texas on the thirty-first ballot.
If we can't print school books In Oregon
It is abont time we learned how.
It U reported that eattle Is povejrty strick
en, but this is probably an exaggeration.
An effort Is being made to have a life
saving station established at Yaquina Bay.
Roberts, the Representative about which
the scandal was reported, was exonerated hy
the committee.
About 400 hills have been Introduced In
th Stale Legislature. onv a fraction of
which will or should pass.
Maor Harrison, of Chic ago, has been sued
for $io,ooo for injuring the eyes of a boy
with a fire cracker on July $th, t8S6.
The office of Sheriff of Multnomah
county is worth about $1 1,000 and of clerk
$8,000 a year ; that of Governor of Ore
gon $1,500,'
Miss Van Zandt and Spies were married
bv proxy last Monday near Chicago ; but
that style is a relic of barbarous days and is
obsolete now.
The WillamHte Farmer, of Salem, Is can
did indeed. It admits that It owes $1000
and Insists on its subscribers paying up,and
they ought to do it.
Parliament opened on Thursday of last
week with a speech from Queen Vic. She
said her relations with foreign powers was
friendly. Forsooth It Is not.
J Seligman, a New York capitalist and
part owner In a Montana mine, last week,
was imprisoned In a mine and held until
the wages of the miners,about $75,000, were
paid.
Murder is rife in San Francisco. Last
week a crank entered a saloon and shot a
stranger dead because he imagined he was
a conspirator against his life. Justice is a
stranger to the Golden Gate City. The bal
ance is "busted."
None of the little jobs for appropriating
the state's money s for building private school
houses, county bridges snd county roads,
will pass in the present Legislature. Linn
county's representatives have been solid in
both houses against such bills.
A sensation has been started over the
finding of Brigham Young resurrected.
The report is so foolish that we only make
a mere statement of the fact The Amer
ican people like to be humbugged ; but
this is all together to immense a canard.
A Dallas man recently drew $500 in the
Louisiana Lottery. Such cases ate rare,
though. The Dallas paer estimates that
$100 a month is spent in that city In lottery
tickets. A poor way to invest money, as
this lottery Is undoubtedly one of the most
collossal swindles on record.
The Salem Vidett pars the following
compliment to three Senators : During the
debate vesterday, an the repeal of the usury
laws, Senators D. VT. Hare, J. K. Weather
ford and R. M. Veatch, who spoke in oppo
sition to the .repeal, made some telling re
marks and displayed forensic abilities that
would be a credit to any member of the
United States Senate.
The following is going the rounds of the
press: A sleeper is one who sleeps. A
sleeper is that in which the sleeper sleeps.
A sleeper is that on which the sleeper which
carries the sleeper while he sleeps runs.
Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the
sleeper, the sleeper carries the sleeper over
the sleeper under tha sleeper until the sleep
er which carries the sleeper jumps off the
sleeper and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper
by striking the sleeper under the sleeper,
and there is no longer any sleeper sleeping
in the sleeper on the sleeper."
Death mf sjihm stea.
Last Tuesday morning Mr Milton Hous
ton, of this city, died at his home on Second
street, after a lingering illness of several
years, at the age of 56 years, 9 months and
5 days. Mr Houston came to Linn county
from Dayton, Ohio, in 1S48 and took up a
section in township to R. 3. W. a few miles
northeast of this citv, where he resided un-
til within a few years. He was a man high
ly respected, noted for his peaceable nature,
industrious habits and strict integrity. One
of our earliest pioneers, he has always done
honor to the name. The deceased leaves
a wife and son and daughter to mourn the
loss of an exemplary husband and father.
He was a member of A. O. U. W. of this
city in good standing.
Funeral services took place Wednesday
afternoon and were attended by a large
number of friends, notwithstanding the in
clement weather. "

The campers across the river also had to

twenty three feet above low water mark.
Tuesday morning snow began failing and
the waters subsided. In Benton county
both Mary's and Yaquina rivers were flood
ed as rarely ever before. The railroad
bridge beyond Philomath was partially
taken out. The heavy rains all along the
mountainous part of the road caused numcr

was nearly a mile long. Another at the
Summit nearly fifteen feet deep, and others
of less magnitude, As the passenger train
was at the west end of the road traffic waa

states that held this view of the legislative
power at the adoption of the federal consti
tution also held that the limitation to legis-
atlve enactment could be disturbed only
by the veto of the Governor. In which case
the legislature still held Its power to pass
the law over the veto of the Executive. And

The attempt to connect the Willamette
Valley with Eastern Middle Oregon by
wagon road as presented in Senate Bill No.
85, meets with objections. The bill calls
for jcvooo to moke a road over the Minto
Pass. The constitution Is now held up as a
solid wall against the paasage of this bill.
When the Pine creek wacon road bill and
the bridge bills passed at a former session
the constitution was never thought of. If it
had been, it was in ouch cases only a paste
board objection. Now that the Willamette
Valley wants a link to connect the cattle
and farming interests of two empires the
constitution is held up as a fatal objection
The law asked for is neither special nor
local. It is a public law in its broadest
sense. A discussion of the constitutional
