It is claimed ly liquor dealers that Xhe law passed hyhe recent legislature prescribing the manner in which re tail liquor dealershall pursue in order to obtain a license is so framed that it provides no penalty for persons who inay sell without license and also iuakes inoperative the general provis ion of the statute which p.-escribad penalties for retailing liquor without license. If this be true that the new law does away with all penalties for selling without license it is claimed that in -srih event most parties en gaged in tile traffic will not take out license 'oecause there will be no penal ty. If this be the true oppsration and effect of the new law, the revenue which will be lost to the counties in the next two years by this defeat will amount to enough to pay the full expense of an extra session of the legis lature, Sin. fadt it wouldamount to more than the expense consequent upon an extra session. This and several other things which need to be done in order to finish up what the legislature failed to complete seems absolutely necessary that an extra session be called by the Governor. STEERING AROUND THS CIVIL SERVICE LAW. Since the democrats cannot break the letter of the civil service law it comes from the White house that the spirit of it may be broken and tram pled under the feet. A number of gentlemen who have applied for tenure offices, the terms of which do not ex pire for some time, have been told that if they can get the occupants to resign, or can put them out through charges, the appointmsnts will be made. It comes likewise from the White house that the postoffices not filled by the president, and therefore having no terms, knny be filled just as fast as good men can be found for them. Bradstreefs says of the re-appointment f Pearson: The President has reappointed Mr. PMrsra Postmaster of New York. This act of the President is significant for two reasons. It takes out of politics what the spoilsmen are accustomed to regard as one ef the "plums" of executive patronage. It represents the application of civil ser vice reform principles in their true spiris. It is of course well unuerstood that the enforcement of the civil ser vice law-as it stands to-day did not require this action on the part of President Cleveland. Not only that but the step ws deliberately taken in the face "of charges preferred against Mr. Pearson by men of his own party, and upon which the Jate Attorney General recommended his dismissal. If Mr. Cleve'and wanted a pretext for the doing of an Act which under the laws he had a perfect right to do, he had one at hand, but instead, after a thorough examination of the" charges, he expresses his Sense of their ground lessness and his estimate of the value of Mr. Pearson's services by reappoint ing him. Mr. Cleveland and his ad visers doubtless understand very well that though corruption has Nourished in the Pest Office Department the seat of its activity has been not at New York but at a point touch newrer the capitol. Imnhigration continues to pour into this state, says the Telegram, at a rate that is extremely gratifying, taking the fmbstancial character of the naw comera into consideration. Those ol these who are home-hunters, as most of them are, fcWng with them ways of eastern thrift, that will enable them to succeed, where western prodigality has failed, in brisking larmiug pay in the Willamette valley. The old donation land claims, wherever they are found, consist in the main of wild and unoc cupied area, with a moss grown orchard and a few tilled acres on one corner. These, when subdivided and worked by intelligent labor cannot fail to make fertile lands and become the seat of pleasant and prosperous homes. If no iarm in all the Willamette valley con taind more than from 160 to 320 acres and these were carefully managed and-, so far as cultivated, thoroughly culti vated, the thriftles farming of the state would speedily become' a thing of the past. 1? arms of a greater size than thia precludes neighborhood sociability and advantage, the successful establishment of schools and community interests, without winch, farm life, however prosperous, from a standpoint of plen ty, becomes a dreary isolation from which boys escape at an early age by l mining away, girls mope in fretful discontent until they cap the climax of their unrest by ill-advised marriage, women grow untidy and hopeless and RECOGNIZES THE SITUATION. Let there be no mistake. The con- federacy.has captured Washington. Our independant and mugwump friends aver that this is all risrht. They insist that we have "swept into the younger day," . when the issues of the war are all dead and the memories tif the war are impertinent and even odious. They do nt ask that s man shall be ostracised politically because he rifled the trcasui fired upon the flag, or shot negroes in cold blood, or cast tissue ballots. And so they helped to bring about tli present or der. They seem to be satisfied with the vovk. L.iiiIAH AS A Riir3RM3Jl. A good story comes t'1 the surface heie about the democratic features of i-ei'orm. Secretary Lanlar will be re membered as the first man to inauj erate "a reform" by the sale of carriages used by the department, it is now learned that lie at the same time es tablished a suite of luxurious apart mens in his department quarters that quite offsets the savings which he proposed to make by the sale of horses and carriages. Adjoining his office tlwre is a room formerly occupied by the copyist and other clerks. He has had these crowded into other rooms, and has, it is said, had the rooms handsomely and luxuriously fit ted up. Parisian carpets have been laid and fir; costliest rugs, divans and ottomans ;urcbased, all of course at the governr-ient's expense. This is a sample of democratic reform. THE B ftSMtGAHON. Washington Specialto Harri.sburg Telegraph A delegation from Oregon baf been here boring the president for "recogni tion " The delegation was headed by Anthony Noltner, editor of the Port land S'anJarJ. Noltner, chairman of the delegation, recommends himself for postmaster at Portland, and ex-U. S. Senator Slater for cotnmissiober of the land office. There re no less than five candidates far this place. The following editorial morcemi printed in Mr. Nolter's paper on Marvb 5, has been respectfully referred trt the pres ident: "Now that Grant, the national dead-beat, has b-ten placed on the pay roll of a military general with back pay from tbfe Wrtie he left the army, it is no more than ri'ht that Jefferson Davis should be put on the roll with back pay from the time he left West Point; that the confederate Jebt should be paid and all ex-confederates be pen sioned." Since Noltner has learned of President Cleveland's interest in be half of the suffering hero he has been looking about for a mule to kick him. WASHINGTON LETTER. I'From 'our Rru !ar Correspondent. ) Washington, April 3rd, 1885. Surprising appointments by president Cleveland, confirmations of the same by the senate, resignations, dismissals, civ il service protection, retrenchment, re form, and the appointed postmaster of New York city are among the things that are happening and beng talked about in Washington now. The week has been a great one fir the cavalier. They have gathered in the spoils of last November's victory in foreign missions, and various other geod things. Virginia, North Carolina and Georgia have been among the last recipients of patronage. The confed erate brigadiers are meeting with rich favor at the hands of President Cleve land. They are necessarily of ut party and since he owes so much to them, it is reasonable that he should wish to re member them. Still there is sWch a thing as overdoing the work of putting them into possesion of the leading offi ces of the gevernwent they fought so hard to destroy. Mr Cleveland owes something to other interests and other localities, and it wwild be well for him to leave a few of his confederate friends at home. The nominations that are coming in men selfish and old before their lime. rapidly now do not make all of the b . J, . ..i i m . patriots happy by any means. They admit that the appointees are all good democrats, but the tendency is away from the "workers," and this fills them with grief for the present, and appre hension for the future. Morover the new men oftun need introductions to the faithful themselves as well as to the public. They forgot that there are so many offices that eligible democrats would not half go round. To say that the democrats are much dissatisfied with their "president's meth od of making selections for office is to express the prevalent feeling very mild ly. At first they confined their chagrin to their own political family circle, and whispered their fears and disappoint ments only to those of their own faith, expressing the hope that Mr. Cleveland would yet see the error of his way and take advise of the men who elected him. But at the re-nomination of post-master Pearson their indignat'on broke all bounds of discretion. Words of con demnation vere heard on every hand among them and threats of refusal to assist in his confirmation. Senator Beck declared his intention to fight the nomination to the bitter end, and con gressman Spriggs of New York, thought every demociatic Senator, who is moved by a feeling of allegiance lo his party, should do the same. Among the executive departments the treasury is still taking the lead in discharges, resignations, and changes in many directions. There is much un easiness among the employees. It was like tfrB explosion of a bombshell among them when one day during the week seven leading officers were asked to resign, and a hundred clerks were discharged from one branch of the treas ury service. The prevailing idea is that a large number of clerks are to be dispensed with soon on the subterfuge of economy, and their places filled in a short time with democrats. By this process the depa: .ment will in time be in possession of the democrats. Senator Harris, of Tennessee is anx ious for a sweeping change in the offices and has told the president what his duty is in this ma&er. Another prom inent Democratic Senator is authority for the statement that a meeting of par ty managers will shortly be couvened for the purpose of di'cussinj this quos. tiou and advising Mr. Cleveland. Doubtless when this letter reaches you the Capitol will be draped in mourning for the hero of Appomattox, whose life is ebbing away so fast. At this moment and for several days past his condition has been the Subject of c instant 'nquiiy, in the departments and throughout the city. Washington has a local interest in the fame of Gen. Grant. It was here that he achieved some of his greatest distinctions in war and peace, and some of his closest social ties bind him to this city. He spent some of his happiest years here, and it was known to be his desire to return -and maka Washington ho::ie of his ol I age. II. Shaving Saloon. ANL tRiLLIflRD PARLOR ) S. L. HENDERSON, Prop.
