Corvallis extends a warm greeting to 1890, and it is expected that with with the change in the figures will come greater improvements in the building up of the city. It is hoped that ere another "New Year" day arrives, the readers of the Gazette can look upon a bridge across the Willamette here and a better system of sewerage throughout the city. There was over $600,000 worth of building done in Salem during '89, and a prominent business man there says he will wager $100 that there will be more brick laid in that city in 1890 than in the past. Binger Herrman, Oregon's repre sentative iD congress, has been placed on the committee on rivers and har bors. He is the right man in this place and Oregon may look out for some good work from him. The holidays are over and you must clean up your political pot as it will soon be brought into use. A full set of county offices, a state senator and representatives, are to be elected, besides the state officers. Have you ' thought who would make good candi dates? Another dormitory building is to be erected on the agricultural college grounds. It will be erected to accom modate the girl studeuts. This in sures plenty of room for the large number of students that will attend next year, and is a starter for the numerous buildings that will go up in this "heart of the valley." The San Francisco Examiner, of last Sunday, was a most extraordinary paper. It was of forty -four pages, and can be called the finest edition of a news paper ever printed .on this continent. It would be well for every one to pur chase a copy and file it a -way as a great curiosity of what can be dene with type and printer's ink in a daily edition. Mr. Cornelius, of Turner, Marion county, has been recommended, by the Oregon senators in Washington city, as the proper man for the "farmer" at the Chemawa Indian school. So delighted were the Turnerites over it that they had a regular 4th of July time on last Friday evening. Wonder what they would have done had Cornelius re ceived some higher office La Grippe, the new-fangled name for a disease that is raging in Europe and some parts of America, seems to be after the style of a common cold. If the fellow who originated the name were to live in Webfoot a short time he would have to lay-a-grip onto his kerchief as many times a day as there are letters in the alphabet. It is enough to give a fellow a cold to pro nounce the thing it ought to have been called endfleuendways. The Salem Statesman in its New Year edition of last Wednesday morn ing was a complete paper in every particular. It gave a review of the progress of the capital city during '89 and it is surprising what has been accomplished in that time. It takes push with a great big P to run a daily journal, and Salem's citizens should be proud of their "morning paper." Several of the most notable improvements in Oregon's capital are due to the constant work done by the Statesman in advocating them. The papers in Panbany, below here about twelve miles, are always the first to cast some dirty slur at a city that happens to do something which seems slightly large to them. It is said that a place can be judged best by the ap pearance of its newspapers but Pan bany shouldn't be. It is a sorrowful thing that her'morning daily can't be owned by men that are alive. The evening sheet would do very well -had it a foreman of the mechanical depart ment who understood the business Such journals ought to confine them selves strictly U businesss and get up - better local columns and of a more modern style. INCREASE OF CRIME. Mr. Round the pertolgist, in the Forum discusses the ariminal statistics of the world, and institutes compari sons between this and other countries, which not only pluck a bright pinion from the wing of our national pride, but tend to excite the liveliest alarm, j bufc crime went right on unchecked While our population per square mile; hy commendal)le inc,.eaSe in so is far below that of England, we;, . Iti,nm(l W th Ameriraii nroutiv vofpil her in the uronoition of e,wV . i criminals we produce. Sines 1850 crime has decreased in England abso lutely and relatively to the population. Here it has increased both absolutely and relatively. In 1850 the ratio of criminals to population in the United States was 290 to each million of peo ple. In 1860 it was 607; in 1870 it was g53; in 1880 it was 1169 to the million. The population of the coun try in 1850 was 23,191,876. In 18S0 it was 50,267,5 1 9. The population wa.-: but little more than two and a half times as great, but crime had multiplied by four. This is a startling fact. W associ ate crime and poverty with density of population. But here is an enormous criminal population where there is no such density. Statistics quoted show that from 71 to 82 per cent of the criminals are of alien birth or parent use, but this fact alone cannot account for the increase The cause must be sought in the voluntary or involuntary conditions to which the whole popula tion is subjected. It is evident that we are suffering all the effects of a crowded population in a country where there is plenty of room Since 1850 there has been an in crease in the tendency to mass popu lation in our cities which was not the custom m-ior to that time. The move ment was not seriously present in 1860, but since then it ha rapidly ac celerated. We have not the data at hand to establish the fact, but we be lieve it to be a fact, that the percent age of criminals to the total popula tion will be found to have advanced step by step with the increase in the percentage of the total population which has forsaken the country for the city. This is a factor which Mr. Round h s not considered. Taking the percentage of increase in our immigration letween 1850 and 1880, he finds that of that increase The British Empire furnishes 5.5 per cent, Ireland furnishes o.b per cent, Germany furnishes 3.9 per cent, Norway and Sweedeu furnish .7 pel cent, Italy furnishes 1.08 per cent. While the increase in our prison population: The British Empire furnishes 12.5 cent, Ireland furnishes 9.2 per cent, Germany , furnishes 4.6 per cent, Nor way and Sweeden furnisft .4 per cent, Italy .2. Great Britain contributes a surplus of 7 per cent and Ireland 6 per cent of our criminals out of their share of in crease of immigration, while Germany is .3 per cent below, and Scandinavia and Italy make creditable showings. Now look at the distribution of this population. Ireland and Great Brit ain ciowd our cities. The Germans are a rural people, fond of the field and orchard. The Scandinavians are almost exclusively rural and avoid cities. The Italians are dairymen, gardeners and vineyardists; all of the alien nationalities which contribute below the proportion to our criminals are in the country, in rural occupation. The Btitish and Irish crowd into the cities, and help congest them. We natives crowd them also, and although the statistics show that aliens and the children of aliens are in the majority in our criminal population, it is also true that the percentage of native blood in that population is greater tliari it was in 1850, We have no douht that part of this increase in moral dis order is due to the too rapid increase in immigration. We have received aliens faster than we can digest and assimilate them, but these processes would have been more rapidif the aliens themselves had resorted to country life and avoided the corrupt ing contacts of the city. The morals of the country need a revival of the gospel of rural life. The rural indus tries require more attention. Rural ; prosperity should become the first con cern of the Government, in so far as it can aid individual fortunes. If the increase of crime continue in its pres ent ration, we will outstrip any nation in ancient or modern history in ap parent wickedness. The various or ganized professional reforms as pro hibition, etc., seem to make no head way against this resistless march of crime. The prison population of the country represents , but, for onfij criminal behind the bars it is estimated that ten are at large and at liberty, supporting themselves in one way or another by crime. The consumption of strong liquors does not account for it, for in 1850 we consumed 2.23 gal lons per head, and in 18S0 only 1,26 I gal Ions. We became more temixrate, briety, it is tune people began to think about these things. We have spent too much time boasting our material superiority to everyhody else, while we have been falling into moral decay. Alta. At Leigliton Buzzard, England, the other day, a chapel was burned down in which it had previously been arranged to celebrate a wed ding. The destruction of the sacred edince had no ellect in postponing the ceremony, and the man and woman were made one amid the smoking ruins. Baby One Solid Rash Ugly, painful, blotched, malicious. No rest by uay, no peace by mgnt. Doctors ana all remedies . failed. - Tried Cuticura. Effect marvellous. Saved Lis life. Cured by Cuticura Our oldest clild, now six years of age, when au infant six mouths old was attacked with a virulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary remedies failing we called our family physician, who attempted to cure it; but it spread with almost incredible rapidity, until the lower portion of the little fellow's person, fiom the middle of his back down to his knees, was one solid rsh, ugly, painful, blotched, and malicious. We had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally, we were advised to try the Cuticura Reme dies. The effect was simply marvellous. In three or four weeks a complete cure was wrought, leaving the little fellow's person as white and healthy as though he had never been attacked, lu my opinion, your valuable remedies saved his life, and to-day he id a strong, healahy child, perfactly well, no repetition of the disease having ever oc curred GEO. B. SMITH, Att'y at lay and Ex-Pros. Att'y, Ashland, O. Boy Covered with Scabs My boy, aged nine years, has been troubled all his life with a very bad humor, which appeared all over his buly in small red blotches, with a dry while scab on them. Last year he was worse than ever, being covered with scabs from the top of his head to his fret, aud continually growing worse, although he had been treated by twe physicians. As a last resort, I de termined to try the Cuticura Eembdies, and am happy to say they did all that I could wish. Using them according to di rections, the humor rapidly disappeared, leaving the skin fair and smooth, and per forming a thorough cure. The Cuticura Remrdiks are all you claim fur thein. GEO.
