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.
