TdE DEMOCRATIC STATS CONVENTION.
The Democratic State Convention
which met at The Dalles on the 1 7th

young members of that body, and a

who need such a thing to come forward and subscrbe.
new order of business was adopted on
two important questions. The first
was that the State central committee
be empowered to fix a place of hold
ing the next convention: and the sec
ond was the vive voce vote, The con
vention finished its labors in less than
THE AMERICAN FARMER
and the Cokvallin Gazettb for S3 . a year in ad
vance. We have perfects! arrangements with the
publishers of the American Fanner, of Fort Wayne,
Jnd., that enable usrr our subscribers a first-
class agricultural magazine at the bare cost of the
white japer on which it is pratted. The American
Farmer is a 16 page monthly magazine which is rap
idly taking rank as one of the leading agricultural
publications of the country. Each number will con
tain useful information for the farmer, his wife, his
aons and bis daughters. As it oasts you almost noth
ing, suppose you try it one yeasr. Parties desiring
valuable readaitg saatter on farm, stock and agricul
turn! subjects, will find this the mast pr intable and
cheapest way to get it.
.ihe Democratic State convention
ertainly iterformed its labors with a
weak pulsation. Their ticket is beaded
with John Myers of Clackamas for
Congressman, This nomination would
seem like all the lieai lights of the
party were fearful to run lest they
should meet with a Waterloo; but as
to John Myers he is always for office,
aind if there is no chance to get the
office he will accept a nomination only
and if he can get neither he would at
lust get in on a proxy if anyone was so
simple minded as to give him one. If
he should ever be elected to any office
at would likely make a steady oppo
sition and accomplish nothing, as his
effjrts particularly in deliberative
bodies u to oppose what others do and
do but little else himself. It is i
claimel by some that his predisposition
to oppose, mixed with contrariness, is

ue reason nis ii air tails to grow any
more prolific and remains in flagrant
opposition to the natural growth of
nature.
It will be remembered thatSifee dera
oeratic county convention assembled
cat this place recently adopted the fol
lowing resoistimt: "That we favor i
law abolishing the 'free pass' system
and providing that whenever an offi
cer of the county or state accepted a
pass he shall forfeit his sight to the
office he holds and make the same va
cant. And while this resolution was
still fresh in the minds of the delegates
tto the state convention assembled at
The Dalles, and as is characteristic
i with the actions of the democratic par
ty, that august body (?) tendered the
railroad companies a vote of thanks for
reduced farts to the officers of the con
vention. Oh, consistency- thou art a

Polk and Benton county democracy
at tne .Mate Democratic convention
nominated Rufus Thompson for joint
Senator for the two cqunties. The
nomination is an unusual good one if
viewed from the stand-point of afford
ing no opposition whatever to the
election of the Republican nominee.
Mr. Thompson is a renter on Dr.
Hill's place in the lower end of this
county. He rented the Drs. farm and
moved to this county a few months
before our county election two years
ago. Uur readers will no doubt remem
ber that two years ago the Gazette
made some hitting blows at the doings
of the State Democratic convention
and the district nominations which
they made at that time, which
seemed to displease some of the dele
gates in the Benton county Democratic
convention, and because the managers
of the Gazette could not be induced
to desist in such a course, certain reso-
, , . .
ititions were prepared and placed in
ivxr. j.uompson s nanus wnicn ne in
troduced and read in the convention,
denouncing the Gazette, its manage
ment, its course of journalism and
everything connected with it, because
it dared to say what it deemed to be
right and proper to say on the matters
then of vital interest to the public. It
is possible that these resolutions were
placed in Mr. Thompson's hands be
cause he was a new comer, and a com
parative stranger in the county and be
cause those who had been here longer
and were better acquainted had more
sense than to have anything to do
with such resolutions, as they met
with a very slight vote in the conven
tion. As to how he came to introduce
them or what his motive or purpose
was is a matter of little consequence,
but the point to be gained from the
whole matter is that if he had been
possessed with the good common Sense
and the ordinary foresight which a
senator to the State legislature should
possess he would not have touched
them, because their introduction de
moralized their party in the county
for that campaign and it was the
greatest benefit to the Gazette which
could have happened it It is useless
to further comment, because Rufus

THE POSTOFxICE APPROPRIATION BILL.
The principal changes made by the
senate in the postoffie appropriation
bill are that it increases the amount
allowed for postmasters' salaries from
10,000,000 to $11,500,000; for
salaries of clerks in pos to Sices from
$4,775,000 to $4,900,000; for payment
of letter curriers and expenses of the
free delivjery system from $3,600,000
to $4,000,000. The senate strikes

California's extra session
islature is proving to be a failure.
It is now almost certain that none of
the measure .s proposed by the Govern
or for cinching the railroads will be en
acted, as the corporation interest is
said to be able to control a majority in
both houses. The cost of the extra
session will be about S100.Q00. and
how to get decently out of an embaras-
sing fix and end the session, is the all-
absorbi ng question.
The Republican primary coventions
m Salem last Saturday was attended
with more excitement, manipulation,
wire working and unusual efforts to
get people to vote for the contending
factions than is most usual at a general
election in other localities. While it
is necessary and important for a full
attendance at primary conventions,
yet the practice of setting them up as
it was said to have been done at Salem,
is a shame and burning disgrace to
American politics. It is certainly
calculated to undermine the good order
of our system of politics where voters
so far forget their political principles
as to permit two or three men of
opposing factions to set up the precinct
election and vote men with as little
reason as a herd of sheep or cattle. It
would seem that newspapers in such a
community if so disposed could do
much toward bringing about a more
healthy and respectablb management
of such matters.
The other day Judge LaDow, who
is fond of joking with the small boy,
met a couple of juveniles, and, after
talking with them a short time, said
to one of them, "I believe you can
whip this other boy, for you look like
a good democrat" "Well," said the
little fellow addressed, "I druther ba.
lcked than to be called a d -d
democrat!" Pendleton Tribune.

ror inland mail transixn-tation the
appropriation is increased from $11
VUU.UUU to $12,750,000. The senate
strikes out the clauses directing the
postmaster general to make a uniform
reduction of 5 per cent, on the com
pensation paid all railroads, and re
quiring land grant roads to carry
mans ior du per cent, less than is
charged by other roads. The appro
priation for the railway postoffice cur
service is increased from 1,600,00 to
$l,o25,000, and $185,000 is appro
priated for necessary and special facul
ties on trunk lines. The latter, it was
unuerstooa, is Tor taster mail service

boat service is increased from 6,250
000 to 6,500,000.
.aTmropnaraon ior star route is in
creased from $4,600,000 to $5,000,000
but the clause reapprop dating the un
expended balance of last year's appro
priation is stricken out In referring
to this form Senator Plumb said
was an increase on.'y in appearance,
and not in fact, as there was no unex
pended balance to be reappropriated.
The appropriation for railway postoffice
clerks is increased from $4,000,000 to
$4,300,000, and for mail bags and
cjitcJaST5fei $230,000 to $25Qj000.
The senate adds to the bill $4500 to
defray the expenses of delegates to the
universal union congress, to be held at
Lisbon October n- ;xt, and finally pro
vides that 11 the revenue ot the post-
office department shall be insufficient

The cosmopolitan character of our
American magazines has never been better
illustrated than in the announcements of
the May Harper's. Certainly American
topics, authors, and artists are thoroughly
represented, but there will be also papers
on English, French, -and German subjects,
written by Englishmen, Frenchmen, and
Germans, and illustrated by English and
French artists. William Black, William
Sharp, Alfred Parsons, A F. Jaeassy, and
Dr. Moritz Busch are 'among the contribu
tors in question. Yet Harper's is commonly
counted the most American of our magazines.
