PROPOSED CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
Friends of Temperance: The
Oregon State Temperance Alliance
at its session, in February last favor
ed the submission of a Constitutional
Amendment to the people.
The State of Kansas passed upon
this question last November, and is
the first state in the Union that has
adopted a constitutional provision
against the liquor traffic. Sixteen of
the slates have taken tteps in the
same direction.
Statesmen are fast coming to the
opinion that this problem is to be
solved in this way. Gov. Foster of
Ohio, gives this movement his cordial
endorsement.
The Congregational Association
at its late session by unanimous vote
adopted the resolution and recom
mend the submission of the amend
ment to the people. This advance
step has the approval of other ecclesi
astical bodies, and they are taking
action in the furtherance of the work.
The National temperance conven
tion, at its last session, held in Sarato
ga, N. Y., and the grand lodge of the
Good Templars oi the state of Oregon
which recently met'at Hillsboro,
adopted resolutions "favoring this
action and by unanimous vote, rec
ommended the reference r f this ap
peal to the people in pursuance of the
action of the Slate alliance which
met in Portland, on the 30th of July,
last, and unanimously determined to
push the work forward The follow
ing executive commute was selected :
Dr. J. W. Watts of Oregon City,
Chaplain R. S. Stubbs, C. J. McDou
gal, Esq., and Mrs. Dr. Thompson,
all of Portland, for the purpose ol
having petitions printed and circu
lated, and of devising ways to raise
money to carry forward this move
ment. Said committee had one
thousand petitions printed, and are
circulating them throughout the
State.
There is work for all. to do! The
work does not belong exclusively to
any Order, Class or Church, but to
the people. All the citizen arc
petitioners. All are interested, and
at all public giiherings, such as
Churches aud Sunday Schools, the
work may be presented. Let all be
invited to sign the petition.
Any amendment of the Constitu
tion of Oregon has to be passed by
the Legislature, and to be approved
at the following session, and then be
ratified by the direct vote of the
electors. So it will be about four
years before this can be enforced in
this State. Immediate and united
action is called for.
Existing organizations have thus
tar failed, ii their divided counsels,
to remove the curse. A combined
effort of all can remove it forever.
Hence all churches, all orders of
Temperance, all friends of reform and
progress, are expected to anite and
co-operate in this movement by the
State Alliance. The Strte Alliance
is composed of delegates from all
these bodies, and hence it is from the
people.
The committee have fully entered
upon their trust in deep earnest, and
will do their work, and they earnest
ly urge upon you to do youir. Let
this be your motto: "Go forward to
complete victory over this enemy of
mankind." Send to either of the
committee, the names of persons, in
other places, who will help. Obtain
all the names yon can in person, or
by others, up to Jan. 1st., and
forward the lists to Dr. J. W. Watts,
President, at Oregon City.
The railroad war in the East has
reduced passenger rates from New
York to Chicago to eleven dollars,
a little over one cent per mile.
This is the cheapest rate for travel,
over so great a distance in the world.
The following from the Food and Health
Journal may contain a valuable suggestion
to many of oar reader: Watermelon con
tains about 95 per cent, oi the purest of
water, and a trace of the purest sugar, and
nothing has yet been discovered that fur
nishes so perfect and speedy a "cure" for
summer complaint. Even when diarrhoea
has been kept np by continued eating of
ordinary food, until the disease had become
chronic, this delicious beverage taken freely
two or three time a day, ha been known
to work wonders, and to "cure" when all the
usual medic have failed.
LOAFING.
Does the young man who persists
in being a loafer ever reflect how
much less it would cost to be a de
cent, respectable man? Does he im
agine that loaferism is more econom
ical than gentility? Anybody can
be a gentleman if he chooses to be,
without much cost, but it is very ex
pensive to be a loafer. It costs time
in the first place, days, weeks and
months of it; in fact about all the
time he has, for no man can afford to
be a first class loafer without devo
ting his whole time to it. The occu
pation well followed, hardly affords
time enough for eating, sleeping,
dri , we had almost said drinking,
but on reflection we except that. The
loafer finds time to drink whenever
invited at the cost of his friends.
Once fully embarked on the sea of
loaferdom, you will bid farewell to
every friendly craft that sails under
an honest, legitimate flag. Your
consorts will be the buccaneers of
society. It costs money, for the loaf
er may not earn a cent or have one
for months, the time lost might have
procured him much money if devoted
to industry instead of sloth. It costs
health, vigor, "comfort, all the true
pleasures of living, honor, dignity,
self-respect and respect for the world
when living, and, finally all right of
consideration when dead. Be a gen
tleman then; it is cheaper. Intelli
gencer. GRASSHOPPERS IN NEVADA,
Mr. C. W. Perry writes to the
Farmer and Dealer as follows: The
hungry skippers having made their
appearance to an alarming extent,
the farmers made a war on them in
earnest. Long trenches were dug
through the plain as if for irrigation
and water turned into them from the
mountain streams. Large wool sacks
60 .feet long by 8 feet in diameter,
with iron hoops in the up-stream end
were placed in the ditches. Then the
hoppers are driven into the ditch,
and they of course must float into the
sacks. As soon as full, the hoop is
taken out, the mouth of the sack
firmly tied, and then mule teams are
used to roll them out on the side of
the ditch. Then a band of Indians
(both bucks and squaws) mount the
sacks and hold a wardance until the
contents becomes a mass of mashed
hopper, which is sold to these same
Indians at a bit a bucketful. The in
come from this source is consider
able, the hoppers are no more, the
Silver Stale is the boss in the hopper
business, and the "noble red man"
has his winter supply of "hopper
pancakes" stored away in his
"wickiup."
ABOUT EDITORS.
Every editor loves to have his
friends, and particularly his readers,
call on him. They belong to the
same family as it were. But when
yon call to seethe editor don't stay
too long. Editors are generally very
busy in business hours. If you have
any suggestion to make or news to
communicate, state it in as few words
as possible. Don't offtr-any excuses,
or indulge in a long preface to what
you have to say. Blurt it right out;
tell the editor yon wish him well,
and bid him good day. Editors dote
on such men as that; they love to re
ceive calls from them. Don't argue
with them; don't try to do it; he has
no time for argument while at his
work.
When you write to an editor for
publication, make it short boil it
down. Pitch right into the middle
of your subject, and be sure to stop
writing when yon are through. Edit
ors always like something fresh and
original in the way of communications
and are especially fond of news.' But
the editor must always be the judge
of what is worthy of publication. Of
course, every writer thinks his own
production the best, just as every
mother thinks her baby the prettiest
that ever was born. But the editor
may be so stunid as to have a differ
ent opinion, if so, it can't be helped.
Don't try to argue him out of lila
notion. If he is too stnpid to appre
ciate a good thing, you can't expect
to remedy bis dullness. Yon may
think you are a good deal smarter
than the editor; and that may be true,
but the editor may be responsible
and yon are not. There is no class
of men so anxious to please a majori
ty of people as editors are. There is
no class so covetous of the good opin
ion of others. It is well to remem
ber that fact. Printer's Circular.

The Farmer says the fall wheat in repor
ted to yield much higher than the spring
crop throughout the state this season for
which several reasons are assigned. The
last week in March was very warm weather,
followed by sadden change and heavy frost,
and no doubt all fall wheat suffered more
or Ies, while the spring wheat which came
on later did not suffer. It is also claimed
that heavy rains beat off the pollen when
the wheat was in bloom, which made the
top of the ear barren.
The lease of the line of the Oregon Rail

waa referred to the board of director in
Scotland, by whom it was so modified as to
make it Mtsrfactory to all concerned, and
the transfer i now completed.
