A large number of people seem to mhv
concelvr the mission of the public school.
Verv, very many went s public school be
cause Ikey hsvs children whom the v would
be pleased to see educated,snd choose the
public school system as ths moat conven
lent, cheup and accommodating system by
which to lecure that education. The take
no thought of, nor but little interest In, ths
educstlon of other people's children, look'
tng st the whole mstter of our public
school system from a purely selfish atsnd
point. Msny cltliens there sre.who hsvs
no children to educste, who look st the
mstter from the tsme selfish motive, and
hence sre never willing to assist by money
or other mesns Jn maintaining or building
up the system, ff the man, having chil
dren to educate, hss no higher nor less
selfish Interest in our public schools than
merely to have s convsnlent piece where
ai'j children ms.v be edursted.then the man
without children to educate it eminently
right in refuting to attltt by money or
otherwise to mslntaln these schools. Or,
toclothe the Idss In plainer garb, we would
aay,if the man without children of hit own
to educate hat no Interest In tbe education
of the Children of others, thtn that msn
should nsver be tssed nor cslled upon In
any way to assist In msintslning the pub
tic school system to educste children not
hit own. The proposition we aim to es'
tabiioh It thla : Each cltlsen of a ttsts hss
s deep snd sn sbiding interest in the prop
er education of every child fh the state.
This interest grows out of the duties and
relation, of citlienahlp In s republic. It
is to the Interest of each citlxen snd tss
payer thst every other citizen should be
an orderly, Isw-sblding, upright cltlsen
For tbj. reason .every cltlsen has an Inter
est in seeing every child in the state prop
trly educsted snd fully IfidoctHnsted In
the pure principles of American citlsen
ship. We have been careful to sayprop
erly educsted,nfor,slas ! too msny children
in our public schools sre only educated,
not properly educated. Our schools, ss s
rule, mske enough progress In mere book
lesruing, but in the prsctksl application
of uch learning to prsctlcsl eery day
concerns of buy life, there I a sad lack
of duty on the part of teacherauirieing out
of their incompetency or willful neglect.
Very much of the fa! lure of public educa
tion ss spplied to the mases of the people
coins from the fsct thst the hesd onl.v has
been taught, while the heart and moral
nature have been atudlously Ignored.This
Is a utilitarian age in which the child Is
expected to he able to perform all the du
tics of manhood when he arrive at the
age ot msnhood. Mot of the thing to be
d?ne in this world sre (suwsses thing to be
done in a common wsy. but till they sre
much better done and more profitably
done when their doing Is guided by Intel-
Igencs. Our public schools add our prl-
vate schools ahooldall the lime emphasise
the fsct that education is not intended to
enable its possessor to get rid of labor, bat
to enable him to labor to better advsnlsge.
whether on the farm, in the workshop, in
the counting room or in the learned pro
fession. So it will be teen that two things
are neglected in our public schools. First,
children sre Instructed merely in the mst
ter found in the text hooks, without even
considering the proper wny to apply the
elementary principles thut obtained. Here
in is a continual failure of the mixtion of
our public schools. Second, merely the
mind only is cultivated and developed to
the utter Ignoring of the proper cultivation
snd development of the moral nature. If
s child ia not tsught to be honest.truthfjui,
gen teel.Hober, law -abiding, Industrious and
to possess himself of all those other good
qualities that go to make up exemplary
citizenship, then It were far better that he
had no book learning, for if a person is to
be dishonest, deceitful, isvtless, buy and
evil-minded, then It were better that bit
mind had never been trained, for such
trsining only enables him to more success
fully enjoy the fruits of his evil disposi
tion. There is s fearful reaixmsihllitv
-r
resting upon the teacher in this mstter..

An interesting case was tried before
Judge Shsttuck of the Circuit Court of
Multnomsh county Isst week.entltled W.
H. Northropr7 v. P. A. Marquam. The
facts are as follows :
In June, 1870, Henry Northrop died in
i'oriland.leavlng by a will executed on J tine
11, 1870, sll of hit estate to hit wife and
children then born, The will provided
thst ths rest estate should be converted in
to mousy snd placed st interest for the
proper educstlon snd tnslntensnce of the
chtbjren till the youngeat should reach
legal maturity.
T1S property was sold to Mr. P. A.Mar
qusm, the defendsnt In the present suit.
Now conies the rare phase of the matter.
Atsdiit eight months after Northrop'a desth
child was born to his widow. The post
humous offaprlng,however,died st ths ags
of three yesrs.
The statutes of Oregon provide that
where a legitimate child Is born after ths
demise of s testator, that child it entitled
to the same Interest In the estate of the
deceased as his or her other children.or.on
the other hsmls if the deceased had died
Intestate, The property hsving been pur
chased b M Marqusm before the birth
of the posthumous child, plaintiffs claim
that the latter' interest In the estate could
not have been disposed of to Mr.Marquam,
and the plaintiffs pray for the restitution
of their dead sister's lnterest,whlch is said
to be one-fourth ef the whole. Senator
Mitchell representing defendsnt, srguet
thst the plslntiffs are entitled only to the
decesed child's interest In the monev de
rived from the sale of the estate, while
Judge Kelly .for plsintiffa,sserts thst they
csn compel the defendant to disgorge.The
tots! ralue of the estate I estimated at
$100X300.
Judge Shsttuck rendered s voluminous
snd sble decision in the mstter, snd the
aubject sttrscted s conaldersble number of
the member of the Potlsnd bar. He
ctotely reviewed the circumstances at
tending the purchase insde by defendant,
hi subsequent Improvement of the land ;
he dwelt at length upon the law points
bearing upon both aides of the question at
Issue, and finally decided in favor of the
defendant. The decision aeemed to strike
the lawyers present a a clear and jut one.

The fruits of honest, buines-like gov
ernment are strikingly exhibited in the
administration of the revenue law, whUh
are the same under Cleveland that Here
In operation under Arthur. It is natural
that revenues should Increase to some ex
tent because of the stead v growth of the
buslnets of the country.but the invariable
ruleheretofore hat been for the expandi-
turea, or costs of collection, to increase all
the time, whether the revenue increased
or not. In both the revenues from Im
ports and internal taxes, there hs been a
tUaaVy and decided Increase of revenue
and as ateady and decided decrease of the
cost of collection under lite nreaent ad
ministration.
The figures are taken from the official
records of the Tressury Department and
are thoroughly reliable. The following
sre the receipts from customs for the fiscal
years ending June 30. 1885, 1886 and 1887;
the year ending June 30, 1885, being the
last year of the Arthur administration :

It U these substantial and beneficent.re
sultt of administering the government on
business principles, instead of wasting the
taxet of the people in party plunder,which
mske Cleveland strong with the people
snd compel politicians who are ever on
the hunt for spoilt to support the 'policy
of the President even sgalnst their own
inclinations. The one inflexible rule now
in force In all public departments is that
every official must perform hit duty with
the same fidelity that would be demande
in any business employment, and that it
the kind of government the great mat. of
the people of all parties want.
New York Republicans are advised bi
the Times to "honor the memory of Gen
eral Grant by voting for his son, whom
Mr. riatt would like to see defeated," and
at to the other offices to be filled to vote
for the Democratic candidates. It thinks
that this would dislodge Piatt. For those
who cannot follow this course "there re
main the Prohibition ticket and the North
Woods."
The latest and most alarming monopoly
proposed it a sugar trust to control the
manufacture of one of the most Important
articles of consumption. It Is said there
will be no difficulty in organizing the pool
when it is expected that the price of sugar
will be materially advanced. An effort
will doubtless be made to control the im
portation as well as the manufacture of
the commodity.

throughout Oregon, as in other places
where the question hss been discussed
there hasalwsvs been an effort made to
0
show that any wsy prohibition does not
prohibit, snd we might ss welt have the
benefit ef the revenues. This is never
based on facts : but is given in order to
present an excuse for a course thst csnnot
be justified. There is si wsy as class In so
ciety hunting for excuses rather than for
truth j but the truth is what we want here
in Oregon. If the saloon I. s good thing
In society or even "passable," It should be
tolerated, not only tolerated but protected;
but if It is leech on our national institutions
It should be taken off. If It, ss Is charged,
causes eight tenths of the crime of the
world It should be prohibited just the same
ss the crimes It cause.. This is plain A.
B C. language. A man sells disessed
meat snd he it arrested snd find ; yet dis
eased meat csnnot be compared for evil to
intoxicating drink.. He throws a log be
fore a train of cars and a dozen lives are
lost ; but the use of liquor wrecks over
sist thousand lives a year. Kverv time
the saloon-keeper sells his neighbor a
drink he places a log on the track, and the
government he is living in save he is do
ing all right. People wink at these things ;
but they sre solid truth, snd thoe seeking
for truth will not deny them.
When the voter shall ptsce his ballot io
the bos in November he will perform one
of the most retponsible duties of his life ;
besides which the sv erage ballot has no
compariaou. lie will either help to tear
down an Institution that iss blot on the
present history of the world, or he will
help to keep it open to continue to deal
out its death giving lotiona.
How can you vote for the saloon. Do
not do it.

The First Sign
Of failing health, whether ia the form of
Night Sweats and Nervousness, or in a
sense of General Weariness and Loss of
Appetite, should suggest the use of
Ayer's Sarsaparilia. This preparation
is most effective for giving tone and
strength to the enfeebled system, pro
moting the digestion and assimilation of
food,, restoring the nervous forces to
their normal condition, and for purify
ing, enriching, and vitalising the blood.
Failing Health.
m Ten years ago my health began to fall.
I waa troubled with a distressing Cough,
Night Sweats, Weakness, and Nervous,
ness. I tried various remedies pre
scribed by different physicians, but
became so weak that I could not go up
ataira without stopping to rest. My
friends recommended me to try Ayer'a
Sarsaparilia, which I did, and lam now
as healthy and strong as ever. Mrs.
K. L. WUfiams, Alexandria, Minn.
I have used Ayer's Sarsaparilia, in my
family, for Scrofula, and know, if it is
taken faithfully, that it will thoroughly
eradicate this terrible disease. I have
also prescribed it as a tonic, as well as an
alterative, and must say that I honestly
believe it to be the best blood medicine
ever compounded. W. F. Fowler, M. D.,
D. D. 8., Greenville, Tenn.
Dyspepsia Cured.
It would be impossible for me to de
scribe what I suffered from Indigestion
and Headache up to the time I began
taking Ayer's Sarsaparilia. I was under
the care of various physicians, and tried
a great many kinds of medicines, but
never obtained more than temporary re
lief. After taking Ayer's Sarsaparilia
for a short time, my headache disap-
S eared, and my stomach performed its
uties more perfectly. To-day my
health is completely restored. Mary
Harley, Springfield, Mass.
I have been greatly benefited by the
rompt use of Ayera Sarsaparilia. It
nes and invigorates the system, regu
lates the action of the digestive and
assimilative organs, and vitalizes the
blood. It is, without doubt, the most
reliable blood purifier yet discovered.
