1890 has arrived.
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,

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.
