"THOSE BOMBASTIC HEADLINES,"
"Time sot all things even," tis
said, and thereby hangs a tale, fresh
in the memory of the citizens of Ben
ton county, and, for ought we know,
many of the people of Albany and
ot Linn county have not forgotten
the incident or the circumstances
surrounding it. A few years since,
William B. Carter, then editor of the
Corvallis Gazette, who had fought so
earnesMy and persistently to arouse
the citizens of Benton county, and
impress upon them th'j fact that in
denting the west coast of their harbor
that could by a little trouble and ex
pense be made a natural outlet for
the transmission of the exports and
imports of the central valley; who
had worked and toiled through the
columns of his paper for long and
weary years to arose pnblic sentiment
to a pitch that would assure the
building ot a railroad from Corvallis
to Yaquina Bay; who, when the
prospect seemed flattering of imme
diate success, came out in the Gazette
with a bold flourish of headlines an
nouncing that "the Yaquina railroad
was almost a thing of life, and to
lookout for the ringing of the bell."
Let us shift in imagination to Port
land, into the editorial sanctum of
one of the prominent dailies of that
city, and note the peculiar expression
that flits over the features of the chief
editor, as he picks up the Corvall.s
Gazetteand his eye catches those
headlinesjNVe will not attempt 'o
describe that "expression," bu' t.e
next issue of that daily ironically al
luded to "those bombastic headlines'
which W. B. Carter hail vaise i in
the exhuberance of his imagination,
to tell the people of Benton county
and of the central valley that the long
dreary night of monopoly in the car
rying trade was drawing to a close,
and the bright and sunny morn of
competition aDd low freights was
soon to dawn.
William B. Carter is dead! Died
at his post like the True man he was,
fighting to he very last the shylocks
of our plodding and oppressed indus
tries; but "those bombastic head
lines'' thai he raised in the Gazette,
thank God, still live. Live to perpet
uate the virtues and exertions of a
man whose memory is kindly cher
ished in the hearts ot the whole cen
tral valley. Live, to confront the
editor who so siitingly spoke of- an
enterprise that was intemler1 tt give
release to the industries of a e-.ate and
enhance the industrial condition of a
commonwealth by givinar.it a shorter
and safer outlet to the sea. Live,
though their author is dead, to hail
"in triumph the completion of the
work they so earnestly and faithfully
portrayed. Yes, "lime sets all things
even," and we would humbly sug
gest, uot doubling but that our
suggestion will find a responsive echo
in every heart in Benton county, that
the directors of the Oregon Pacific
Railroad company, in justice U the
memory of a man who did all that
he could to fashion an enterprise, in
which they are so greatly interested
give the first engine that goes steam
ing over this road, hauling in its
wake the products of the central
valley to the sea, the honored name
of William B. Carter. Albany Hei-a!d.

The affairs relating to the estate of
the lata President will shortly be turn
ed over to trustees that will be appoin
ted. All expenses incurred during the
sickness-of the President will be regar
ded as debts of the estate, ar -f the bills
will be called for by ths trustees. If
Congress so desire schedule of the
bills will be furnished for any action
that they may see it to take. If an
appropriation is made covering the ex
peuse incurred, the estate will be re
leased from the payment. The trus
tees will proceed on the theory, which
is a perfectly correct one, that these ex
penses are private debts, and not an
indebtedness of the Government.
What part Congress may see fit to
assume is, of course, not known.
J. Stanley Brown says that he has no
idea of what the entire expense of the
sickness of the President will amount to.
So far no bills have been presented,and
probably they will not be until the
Trustees call for them. He say that
he left Mrs Garfield in good health,
and making preparation?, to superintend
the education of her children. Wash
ington National Republican, Oct. 5th.
Last week a house belonging to Hon.
Enoch Hoult, on the southeast of Harris
barg was burned down. It was occupied
by two young gentlemen who were
"Baching," and who were absent at their
work at that time. The origin of the fire is
a mistery.
The Anthracite Industry.
The preliminary report of the
special census ngent, Raphael Pura
pelly, on the production of anthracite
coal gives the following facts and
figures:
The antracite mines are confined to
eight counties in Pennsylvania, in
which there are collieries, having
an average yearly capacity of 149,348
tons of 2,000 pounds. The average
product for the census year was 100,
488 tons. The maximumyeaily ca
pacity of the collieries reported., is'
30,772,000 tons. The actual output
was about 58,000,008 tons. The total
number of emplyees was 68j36, ot
whom 19,585 were miner?',1 4?, 410
were laborers, and 1,244 were of the
administrative force foremen, engi
neers, huperintendents, etc. The
number of men employed' above
ground was 15,264; boys, 11,921.
The number of men and boys "em
ployed below ground was 36,Q52
men and 4,802 boys! The... total
wages paid, 821,580,120. Nearly
10,000,000 of "culm" or impure coal
and, were raised during the year.
The consumption of material in
cluded 30,405,658 linear feet of un
sawed lumber, worth $330,743; 39,
605;547 feet of sawed lumber, (board
measure), worth $644,109; explosives
to the value of $1,550,680. The
number of acres of coal lands report
ed was 164,854, valued at $102,614,
844. There were employed in an
thracite mining 409 horses, 7,718
mules, and 1,604 steam engines worth
respectfully $48,862, 8848,665, and
$3,708,366. Other statistics run as
follows: Horse power of engines,
102.522; number of boilers, 4,007;
value of boilers $2,33"2,640; mine loco
motives, 80 value $243,258; number
of pit cars, 30,384 value $163,560;
miles of railroad track underground,
1,083; miles of track outside, 258.
Total value of machinery, including
engines and boilers, $10,292,415;
value of plant (machinery; trucks,
cars, animals, shafts, etc.) $39,814,399
value of working capital $ 7,731,953
More than 4,000,000,000 tons of an.
thracite remain to be mined, or
enough to last 149 years at the pres
ent rate of mining. Scientific American.
SILK MANUFACTURE WHY NOT MORE
SUCCESSFUL IN THIS COUNTRY.
Citing the $30,000,000 of silk fab
rics produced in this country, Consul
Peixolto writing from Lyons, re
marks that we have not a single silk
filature worthy of the name, and are
dependent entirely upon Europe and
Asia for the raw material. There
are two questions? Can we raise silk?
And can we reel it? The first has
all early been answered, because, hav
ing asceriained that the mulberry
will do well in this country, abi'ity
to raise the worm follows. As to
reeling, the impossibility of competing
by hand labor with 30 cents a day
paid in Europe for reeling and 6 to
10 cents in China and Japan is evi
dently hopeless. Machinery must
find the way out of the probbm, if
there is any. An American engineer,
who "believed it possible to invent
machinery which, by the use and
application of electricity, would not
only overcome existing difficulties
and produce a superior quality of
thread, but solve at the same time
the all important labor question, and
render silk-reeling in the United
States as possible and profitable as
anywhere else in the world," has been
studying the subject in Europe, and
Mr. Peixotto thinks he has been
successful. The decline iu French
filatures he ascribes to inferior crops,
decreased consumption of pure silk
goods, superiority of Italian filatures
and competition in China and Japan.
The picture in his mind's eye is the
successful establishment here of every
branch of silk industry, from the leaf
to the perfect fabric, and he flatters
himself that what the cotton gin has
done for cotton this new invention
(which he does not' describe) may do
for silk, and that this country may
accomplish in silk all it has accom
pl shed in cotton fabrics. There has
been a marked cheapening of silks
already, vrey fair black fabrics now
being obtainable at retail for $1,50,
which would have cost $2,25 15 years
ago, and this is not quite all ascrib
able to appreciation of currency. Of
all textile materials; silk is the
warmest, the lightest relative to
warmth, the most flexible and most
agreeable to the body, for the strong
est, and is incomparably superior
in respect to denying and facility of
weaving. To have the material
produced in this country would prob
ably be of some advantage to the
mills, and, although the picture pre
sented here is perhaps too flattering
it has an interest as suggesting a
pleasant possibility, for silks may not
always be the rare fabrics they now
are. San Francisco Builitin.
WHAT MONCPOLY IS D0IN6.
The Standard sayf: The Oregonian
treats the anti-monopoly question in
pretty much the same spirit that it j
refers to John H. Mitchel's ambit'on
to succeed Sena! or Grover it pooh
poohs it; and" in both instances it
assumes to ignore two very vital and
important facts.
No political movement inaugurated
sjnee the cIobc of the civil war is
fraught with so great consequences
to the American people as the move
ment against monopoly, which is just
beginning to receive an impetus at
the hands of the people. There have
heretofore? been occasional localized
struggles against some separate and
partly isolated limb of the hydra
deaded monster, but the resistance
has been of slight Avail because gen
erally complicated with the extreme
economic heresies. The Standard
does not strike tor any communistic
crusade of labor against capital; it is
the lliance of labor and legitimately
productive capital against a mon
strous despotism that is eating the
heart out of both.
It is only within the past dozen
years or so that the creation of titanic
monopolies hds,bren reduced to a sys
tem in the United States, and it is
only within a still more recent period
that we. have begun to gasp under
their pitiless clutch. This is no
vague demagogic rant, as the Orego
nian seems to believe. To go even
farther than our contemporary and to
falsely admit that we are all monop
olists, does this justify the continu
ance of the evil? This is no more
argument in defense of grasping cor
porations than a corrupt oftiee holder
citing the conduct of his predecessors
to justify stealing. The railroads are
the chief but by no means the only
offenders. Monopoly is protean in
its shapes. It levies tribute on the
bread we eat, on the wood we burn,
the oil in our 'lamps and the garments
we wear; it increases our rents and
taxes, diminishes our wages, chokes
off healthy competition, steals the
best part of the public domain, and
invariably corrupts both courts and
legislatures. A railroad king can at
his caprice in an isolated section like
ours, impose an extra toll upon grain
that would go far towards paying
the interest on the national debt. Jay
Gould and his copartners at a stiwke
ot the pen create $25,000,000 of fic
titious telegraph stock and the public
must pay dividends on the inflated
value. This process ot wholesale
robbery must stop, not through the
act of the blind Samson tearing down
the temple about his own head in
order to be avenged on his enemies,
but throngh the ballots of resolute
freemen enforcing justice and guard;
ing the public weal against a despot
ism that recognizes no law save its
own rapacity.
The subject ot anti-monopoly
comes home to every man, woman
and child throughout the country,
if we are IfiousinefiS it discriminates
against 'us ju favor cf its especial
pets it seizes evt-ry one of us by
the throat -and forces us to pay
tribute. It makes' our rents dearer
by imposing intolerable burdens and
excessive taxes upon the owners .of
property. .It obliges us to disburse
exhorbitanl f-ums for transportation
It steals away the public lauds which
ought to be devoted to the payment
of the public debt. In short theie
is not a moment in onr lives when
monopoly does not oppress and injure
Us. The colossal fortunes of the
monopoly magna' es are sufficient in
themselves to show that some one
has had to pay the fiddlers and that
some one is the people.
WOMAN AS A WORKER.
No one phase of American life has
undergone a greater change than that
.regarding society in its connection
with woman's work, and perhaps
there is nothing which better shows
general progress. Time was when
to be employed in any duties outside
of those of home was social death to
her. It it was necessity that com
pelled it, there was simply the Jostra
cism that poverty is apt to receive
from competency and wealth. If
inclination prompted the stepping
aside from the path that tradition
had made for womanhood, she was
set down as peculiar and "strong
minded," the latter a term ot re
proach which was and is as miK-.h
dreaded by the majority as if it
implied personal degradation.
These things were hard to bear
and operated strongly to prevent
independence in action. Gradually,
however, has arisen the feeling that
Honest labor bears a lovely -face,
and that as " 'tis no sin for a man to
labor in his vocation,'' neither is it
for'woman. Accordingly many are
now found, even if possessed ot a
competence, or with friends able and
willing to give them a comfortable
support, who have stated employ
merit in some business, trade or pro
fession and who are now contented
and happy in the doing. Not only
that, but they have the respect of
society, although through lack of
leisure thvy do not seek society's
suffrages.
That this stale of things is becom
ing more and more and more fixed
and permanent is evident from such
paragraphs as the following, and
these are but a few out of the many:
Miss Canfield, of Manistee, Mich.,
a Vassar graduate, finding society
lite irksome, begged some regular
employment, and was put in the
office of her father, who is the owner
of the largest lug line on the lakes.
Another Vassar girl is conducting a
successful insurance business in ibe
same city.
Miss Margaret Hicks, a recent
graduate ot Cornell, has adopted the
architect's profession.
There are few who cannot think
of gills and woman among their own
acquaintances that have grown
restive under the demands of society,
to answer which requires i large
investment of strength, energy and
good nature, an investment which
returns at best little interest, often
none at all4 and sometimes leaves
the investor bankrupt. They are
looking anxiously around for some
thing to do which shall occupy both
hands and brains, willing to give up
the chance of social triumphs if only
tl ey may feel that ihey are really
living.
Aud society is growing better and
aud purer for this change in woman's
ambitious, Enough are left yet
whose duties preclude any steady
outside employment, who do not
desire it, but who have the leisure
and the wish to be in society and of
society. They can keep alive the
social genialities, can dispence the
graceful hospitalities that are neces
sary in order to throw a beauty and
poetry around earnest, practical life.
The world could no more do without
ihe womanly society leader, with her
beauty and accomplishments than it
could without the artist and the poet.
But the tendency of the past has been
for every girl aud woman to strug
gle tor social supremacy, and tailing
iu that to become a nonentity. Oc
cupation and independence has
brought a healthier way of thinking,
a true appreciation of tile and its
possibilities, and a higher moral tone
which will do much towards solving
some ot the social problems of the
day. Toledo Blade.

This was on the 9th inst. , and on Wednes
