t t the gemocrat. FRIDAY ....APRIL 1, 1887 Hoa. B. F. Burch has been Appoint ad Ktceiver of moneys at ths Land Otfioe at Oregon City. Good appoint ment. When Hsory Ward Beeoher applied fur a life insurance in the Union Mutual thirty years ago he wai asked the ueaal question as to the health of his heart. His answer read : "Experienced ft peculiar feeling about the heart daring the dejs of my courtship A friend f Mr. Blaine says that the great Maine statesman is in magnificent health save an occasional twinge of the gout and the conscience. It is the Presidential itch, though, that oausee him the greatest uneasiness. From what we tee and hear, we) es timate that the prohibitory amendment will receive a larger yote in Linn coun ty, in proportion to the number of votes cast, than it will receive in any county in the State. Nothing more cheerful in the way of sacrifice has ever been recorded than General Sherman's declaration that he isn't fitted for the office of President himself, but thst ha has a brother who is. Senator Edmunds gives out that ho thinks his irty is sure to nominate ft good man next time far President. This remark is cold enough to net back the spring for a mouth and compel Brother Blaine to pnt n extra flannels. It i4 reported that Senator Don Cmeroti,of Pennsylvania, will be before the nexc Republican convention as ft candidate for President. He will get the delegation from his own state through means of the ring of which he ie the head, but be is not likely to catch manv votes from other states. The Ameer of Afghanistan is d least isfied with the conduct of the Russians in his neighborhood and is howling for a holy war against the Cxtr. As the Muscovite potentate is anxious for something to divert tho minds of hie subjects, he will prohibit responl to the invitation to try conclusions with the Asiatic brother. Colonel Ingersoll thinks there should be a fairer division ef profit between employer and employed. This opinion is also entertained by a certain lecture committee, who hired the Colonel te deliver en address for the benefit of ft society and were obliged to pay hil $200 out of the $210 receipts. The decision of the United States supreme Oonrt in the California Cbinei ease?, overruling abe United States -court, has cail.d out a great deal of favorable curtneut a noi g the people whose sympathies run with the anti Chinrxe movement in the citv of Ssn Francisco, fbe decree virtually sus tains the doctrine of S:ate Rights, and coming from that high Republican tri bunal it ouht not longer to be qoss tiunsd. Tom Marshall, when in Gngres,i!lus trsted a point in political economy, and unconsciously delivered an agricultural suggestion, when be exclaimed in a speech : "Mr. Shaker, if I wers your neighbor and you were my neighbor, and we were farmers, and I raiaeoV po tatoes and nothing but potatoes, and you raised potatoes and nothing but potatoos, then, sir, I wiuld have noth ing to give y n for your potatoes but MfetoftCt1 Allen G. Thurmsn has written ft lei ter to the friendly editor of sn Ohio paper which advocated his nomination for Governor, in which he says : "I am thoroughly convinced that the time has come for ma to seek hsppiness snd improvement in a private station, snd these blessing I can best find in the society of my family, my friends and my book. I have received my foil share of the honors tbst our party could confer, and I am grateful for it, nod I shall never cease to take the greatest interest in the prosperity and success of the party. But I don't want to hold office." Secretary Whitney is highly pleased at the result of the bids for steel gun forgings and srmor plates. They will lead, he says, to the erection of workl for these manufactures, the first esaoc tials in any plan of national defense. The plant will cost $2,000,000 snd will require for its erection two years and ft half. And until the guns and plates are available the Secretary does not consider that heavy expenditures on fortifications are necessary. There ie little doubt tbst sny foreign foe, John Bull io particular, will wait more than two years and a half before attacking - the United States. The successful correspondent snd writer of the day must first have ideas or facts, lie vutt then put theae ideas or facts right down on paper in si few word a possible to give fhein proper expression, and lastly he must quit. There is an art in doing this handsome ly and well, and it requires more real talent to do it tfian to- spin out leng sentences expressing pretty nothings. 'Life is short and time is nVetiog,"is ft motto tbu every newspaper writer should remember snd act on. Few people raad long communications, even CARPINO. The readers of the Herald -Dimm inater of this city have doubtleee ob served that it has a very strong pen chant to lad fault with and criticise the administration of President Cleveland. All this ie very proper, for it is in this way that publio officials are kept con stantly reminded of their obligationa to the public A very ardent Republican paper, aa our oo temporary is, would be expected to catch at every opportunity to thus oriticua and condemn the ad ministration of a Democratic President. This is a privilege of partisan newspa pers, the proper exercise of which tends to strengthen a healthy sentiment emong the people in favor of a pare, honest and econemioal administration of publio affairs. We hope to see Repub lican papers all over the country keep ing n careful, watchful eye over the official aote of President Cleveland, and thus compel him to exemplify hi pet doctrine that "publio office is a public trust." We would regard this course of Republican papers as conducive to the publio weal. But when misrepre sentation and deception are resetted to by any one of those organs to make ft criticism sffctive,that would otherwise be weak and futile, then Democratic newspapers should eaters protest. And this we are compelled to do when our esteemed ootemporary,tbe Herald -Die eeminator, resorts to these means in ordsr to critieiee the President in his appointment of the interstate-commerce commissioners. That paper quotes ft half column article from the San Fran cisco Bulletin, in which very unjust criticism is indulged in, and tells ua the Bulletin is a Democratic paper. The object of course is to make the tiiilltdnfti effective. Now, we confess our surprise at the attempt of the DiseemUnator to induce its readers to believe that the Bulletin is a Democratic paper. The Bulletin, ee moet every one knowu.is sn ardent Republican paper, and has been for loue years. And; moreover, i; ie the well-known orgtn of the great rail road monopolies of California, whioh accounts for its pompt antagonism to a commission that is expected to reatrict the efforts of these corporations In their attempts te throttle the peop.e. Amoag newspaper people on this coast it vjould be regarded as an insult to insinuate that any of thorn did not know that the Bulletin is a Republican paper of the strictest sect, as well as a pronounced railroad organ. In view of this feet how is our eo temporary 'a conduct in representing it as a Democratic (taper to be regarded ? Its purpose was to stake it appear s that the criticism was from ft D-ioi cratic paper, so that its readsrs w mid think itajuatooe, but the effort failed. THE TTRJfING POIJfT. Another cell for the redemption of $10,000,000 3 per cm rends made last week loaves but $19,889,85$ of that class of bends outstanding. No ether boodVare redeemable until Sept. 1,1891. What dees oer Democratic administra tion intend to do about the accumulat ing surplus- This is the problem that the negligence of Congress has thrust upon the attention of the oonntry. The effective appropriations for the next fiaccl year are $16,000,000 lose than for the present one. The revenue is steed Uy increasing. Secretary Manning's estimate of a surplus of $125,000,000 for next year is likely to be exceeded by $S,000,$00,owing to the failure of the Deficiency and the River and HarW bills. What shall be done with the sorplnt There is nothing that can be done ex- sept to hoard it, or to pay it out in the purchase of irredeemable bends at a premium that would s mount to the pre-pay meat to bondholders of four years' unearne 1 interest io addition to the discount value of the money. It will be six or sevsn months from the 1st of July before Congress can do any thing io regular session to prevent this eeeomulaticn of money at the rate of $10,000,000 a mouth, and it could then only relievo the contraction already effected by spending the surplus. The collection of soother $100,000,- 000 of superfluous revenue ought to be prevented, though it would take an extra session of Congress to do it. The newly appointed inter-state com merce commissioners have an immense task before them, but we believe that they wil! prove able te take care of it. The inter-state oommeree law has been best described as a mass of good inten tions, and front this mass the com mis ion must build up a act of regulations fair to the peop'e and to the corpora tions. The vagueness of the law may prove a help to them in doing this, for much is left to their discretion. No one need expect the lew to work well at first, nsw laws seldom do and the carrying companies will do everything possible to mske this one obnoxious to the people. It is probable that supple mentary legislation will be necessary in order to make the law effective, rut this was to be expected. A atart is now made and the experiment of controlling railways by national legislation will re ceive a fair trial. The Reseburg fteview rery truthfully says : "He that is indifferent to the welfare of others will have but, few claims of charity obtruded upon his notice ; but no truly charitable spirit need ever st a lose, It such s world ss this, for occasions io do good,nd we JOHN HHKKaU. This gentleman has been traveling in the South since the close of Congress ostensibly for the purpose of beslth and pleasure, but in reality for the purpose ftf inaugurating a presidential boom for himself. His friends, doubtleee, with ftgftoity arrangod the program of his trip so that he would make no speeches until he returned te Nashville from the gulf states. Why did not "Mr. Shsr- man make speeches in Louisiana, Florida ftftd South Carolina T For the vary manifest reason that these states are the seenee where one of the most stu pendous frauds, upon tbs people of the United Status and especially upon the people of the three states named, ever practiced upon any people, were com mitted. John Sbermen arrived in New Orleans on the 15th day of November, 1876, as a "visiting 8tatosman,"to con trive a scheme by whioh the vote of Louisiana, whioh had just been oast for Tildeo by a majority of 7000, might be counted for Hayes. Twelve or fifteen days were devoted to arranging the de tails of the conspiracy by which Hayes was to be made President, not withstand ing he had been beaten by a majority of over a quarter of a million of the voters of the country. This conspiracy, in which John Sherman acted a leading part, was sooeseeful. Hayes was count ed ie. By all the foul meane that John Sherman and hts coadjutors could con trive the people were cheated out of their ohoice for President. And now this ssme John Sherman oomee before the people at Nashville, Tennessee, and undertakes to pose . as one who would favor fair elections. Such hypaorisy is only equalled by the braxea cheek which that gentleman exhibits when attempt ing to appear fair and honest about elections. OORRB3PONDBNO S Peoria.. The read leading out east from Ptoria has been in a bed condition during the pact winter, and we tbtnk the super visor should try and improve it some this year.
