Receipts of wheat at Minneapolis for the crop year of 1884 ending tlie 2nd of the present month, were 32,000,000 bushels, an increase of 9,000,000 bush els over the previous year. The popularity of Gen. Grants book as evidenced by the large anil rapidly increasing subscription to it has caused the publishers to decide to issue a sec oncl edition to the first one of 200,000 copies. An anti-Chinese riot occurred in Cheyenne, W. T., on Sept. 3rd Fifty houses owned by the railroad company and fifty uioe belonging to Chinamen were burned. Fiftten dead Chinamen were discovered. The Chinamen fted to the Ti.ountains where they were without food. Georgia promises to become the great marble State of the Union. The main deposit is on the line of the rail road, which connects the town of Ma rietta with the Blue Ridge Mountains. The marble is of all grades and colors, from coal black; to pure white statuary marble. There can be found in un limited quantities pink, blue, gray, red, black and white marbles. Judge Deady, of Oregon, has de cided that pre-emption entries c?n only be cancelled by due course of law in the courts, and the general land office has concluded to let the matter go before the U. S. supreme court. Heretofore registers and receivers have cancelled these entries upon due proof Qf the forfeiture of rights. If such is a correct-interpretation of th e law con gress should change it. It is no better to cancel by decision of court than by the register and receiver besides taking such question through the courts is at tended with much more expense and long delay. The administration has certainly got Dr. Loring, the recent commissioner- of agriculture in a tight place, and as it is the only case it' has on docket, it is making the most- of him, says an. ex change. Mr. Lorfiig is a good sort of man and didn't steal anything for him self. But he yielded to temptation, and finding that he had more money on hand in one fund than he needed, he spent it for garden seeds and truck of that kind, and let democrat congress men from the rural districts aud such others as wanted seeds have them to send out to their constituents. The seeds were sent, aad then as soorr as Mr. Cleveland got in he accuses Lor ing of being short in his accounts. In a technical sense he is. Nobody but congressmen have power to convert one fund into another. They are always deing it, but the department officer when he does it is .liable to trouble. Loring's sin is a pretty Iieinons one in the eyes of the administration that just pardttned Mullen, of Cincinnati, for swindling a hundred and fifty-six col ored men out of their liberty and their vote by arresting them on the night before the eltction without a warrant and holding them in the cellar of the station house uutil sundown of election day, thus swelling Mr. Cleveland's pop ular majority a little over what Texas was able to make it by withholding the returns for a fortnight or so. Mullen was pardoned because he had labored under a misapprehension, and because fhe best Democrats in Cincin nati wanted him pardoned, and "for various other reasons." Mr. Loring will, not be pardoned The president is going to take the money he erron-eouLy-appropriated for seeds for the Democratic congressman tSfc send to their constituents, out of him or his bondsmen. When the president gets hold of a case where he can be terribly just without nurtmg a .democratic pocket, he is One of the most terribly just little old statesmen that the coun try ever saw. The news from Central Asia the last few months has been very disquieting and does not augur well for the peace of the world. No sooner is one diffi culty comparatively over than Russia raises another. This time it is theTuI fikar pass she wants. She claims the defiles of the pass which are immensely valuable for mi.itary purposes, but an willing to let the Afghans have the ad jacent valleys. 11ns the Ameer o Afghanistan hacked up by England i-. not disposed to agree to. The Russia i. government may le honest enough in her intentions, but she does not exer cise sufficient control over her officers in Central Asia who do pretty well what they p ease. They are beat on conquest, hate garrison life and lethar gy aud covet military distinctions and rewards. Gen. Komaroff has recently lieeu rewarded for his defeat of the Af ghan frontier garrison at Ek Tepe by the raaeat of a sword of honor from the Czar. This engagement was utter ly unwarrantable. It was forced on by Gen. Komaroff and he alone was responsible for it, yet he is personally rewarded by the Cz-ir. Other officers of his imperial majesty covet the same honor. Tntfiknr piss in Russian hands ami there is nothing to stop them be fore the walls of Herat, the fortifica tions of which town are now being lap- idly strengthened by the Afghans. The assault and capture of Herat by some dashing Russian officer would probably gain another Russian officer a sword of honor and would at once lead to war lietween England and Russia in Af ghanistan for India, for there could be no other object which would be im mensely popular with the Russian Cen tral Asia armies. Taking the above facts into account it is highly improba ble that the Lion and the Bear cannot long remain at peace, though it is prob able that a temporary settlement may be made. Casual Correspondent, se ttlsas win vs. r. r land case. A recent dispatch gives the follow ing summary of one of the most im portant land cases ever decided in the United States, by Judge Brewer of the United States circuit court. . "It was an equity case, in the name of the at torney general of the United States against the Kansas City, Lawrence and Southern Kansas railway. The bill was filed Jauuary 15, 1883, and alleg ed that the railroad company unlaw fully held 2,000,000 acres of land, hav ing obtained patents to which it was not entitled. These lands are in Allen county, and are improved farms worth several millions of dollars, and the title to many other lands directly involved. The railroad company claimed the'.ands under the transfer from the Missouri, Kansas and Texas railway company, and by transfer from the Atchins.m, Topeka & Santa Fe. Also by an hide pendent grant to itself. It seems that the grant to' the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe company required that com pany to build a branch down the Neos ho valley. The grant was- made March 3, 1863. Tne Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe company, instead of building a branch, transferred its right to do so i to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas com pany. Afterward congress made a grant, July 4, 1866, to the Missouri, Kansas fc Texas railway for a line, but not as a branch of the Atchinson, To peka & Sania Fe company, as required by the grant to the company " "Judge Brewer held that the Atchin son, Topeka & Santa Fe company; could not transfer its right in the branch road, and even if it could the; branch had not been built, but an en- tirely independent line, belongiug to a different system. The Missouri, Kan sas & Texas company had attempted to get both grants, while only building one road, aud Judge Brewer held that the second grant superceded the first, aud patents issued under the first grant to the Atchinson, Topeka & Santa Fe company were void." "He further held that the company could not claim the lands under the act of 1866,' because it had made no selection under that act." This decision is no doubt applicable to many other grants of land to corpo rations, and shows decidedly that rail roads can not by some presto change manner of legerdumain acquire title to grants of land and not comply with the provisions of the grant. , ' Something new Those Garland cok stoves at Woodcock & Baldwin's; are the finest ever seen in Oregon aud need only to be seen to be appreciated, j Corsets, Kid gloves ami p-irasols, at cost at Whitney's closing out sale. The "wrong medicine" business makes a good second to the "didn'i knov it was loaded" craze in depriving human beings if life, says an exchange. A sad case is reported from Fossil, in Eastern Oregon, a father administering a f.t.il potion to his two children, one three and a half yeare old and the other sixteen months, "by mistake." The excuse furnished is that the medicine -ontained more laudanum than the lather supposed. What in tne name of modern intelligence does a man want to be desing his babies on laudanum for, even in broken doses. The outcry against soothing syrup during the past decade has been sufficiently ieud, it would seem, to reach the eyes of every old granny in the land, even that most persistent and pugnacious of the species, the male granny, who insists on med dling around and dosing and disciplin ing babies and hectoring mothers. Cer tainly every one of common sene should have been taught, by this time, to keep opium in its various compounds of laudanum, paregoric, Briteman's drops, etc , etc., entirely away from the little ones. There mav be some excuse for the mother, who in the hur ry and toil of housework and baby tending, neglects to notice that the can of concentrated lye is not beyond the reach of the tip 'oeing and mischevious toddler; but for the person who delib erately pours out and thrusts into the protesting mouth of a child a naseous dose that causes its death in half an hour, some more reasonable excuse than wrong medicine, or didn't know it was strong, should be urged to clear the stupi l blunderer f.oni the charge of man-slaughter. The administration has become some what noted for its invention of terms, or phrases, for our political vocabula ry, but noae have been so unique as the phrase "a misconception of duty." It was invented as an excuse for par doning a bulldoser and at the same time to cover a shameful abuse of ex ecutive clemency in pardoning him. The application of the term, too, makes it simply grotesque and rediculous. As is known' 't was used in connection vith or in the statement setting forth the reasons for extending executive clemency to a lieutenant of the Giosin uatti police, who, at the election last October, arrested over 100 negroes aud committed them to prison, discharging them without trial after the polls had closed. They were arrested without warrant, imprisoned and were allowed no communication with any one out side, and were, as we have said, releas ed after the polls were closed says the Coast-Mail. They were imprisoned to keep them from voting or the repub lican candi;lates. Such an outrage? as this might have occurre 1 in the south under the system of bulldozing obtain ing there, but it almost secerns incred i i io that it should have taken place in a northern city. But it did, and when the perpetrator was brought to trial the evidence was overwhelmingly agiinst him, and he was convicted and sentenced to one year,s imprisonment. Before h df the term of bis justly im posed punishment has expired the pres ident intervenes in his behalf and liber ates him. His exertions in depriving collored man of the right to vote had been put forth in the interest of the democratic party, aud the president the democratic party electeil rewards his fidelity by relieving him from the pen alty of his crime against the most ex alted right and privilege of American citizenship. The ground of his par don is his previous goon character and the possibility that he may have mis apprehen led the duties of his ottW. We can see no excuse for Cleveland's statement for his clemency -the crime proved was one of the most heinous, striking as it did at the foundation of our institutions, for if the freedom of the individual voter, however weak and huaible, cannot be protected against oppressions, (Mir" govern neat is hot a gvBBrutnent of liberty, bat of usurptt.n. .'Atiu, there is another feature in th aff.itragihvfc which the Americin people ha ve protested an I do protest. It accords an indorsement and encouragement to the methods which are known so certainly to have made the south solid. The Cincinatti episode was in keeping with the efforts of Meade and others in Copiah county, Miss., anil if the Cincinatti policeman was excused on the ground of misap prehending his duties, Miere was no c insistency in not pardoning Meade and not allowing him to retain the office to which he was appointed. Meade bulldozed for the democracy in Mississippi, and the police, officer bull dozed for the party in Cincinnati. That is all there is to it, and if one was guilty of conduct warmnting his removal from office the other had been proved in court unworthy of the liherty which the president has be stowed upor: him. But the worst fea ture, as we say, of the whole proceed ing, is the indorsement the president's clemency ghes to bulldozing as an agency in politics, or at elections, and the encouragement it gives to zealous democrits to inaugurate in the uerth the plans that make the elections go unanimously democratic in the south. It is a proclamation to the people that no matter how "offensive ' the partisanship of a democrat may be, he will have nothing to far from the present administration, no matter hov. guilty and worthy of punishment the law may adjudge him.
