SHALL OREGON EXHIBIT.
It is time that Oregon were mak
ing a lively move in the way of
doing something toward having
the state properly represented at
the world's fair. The commission
ers appointed to look after Ore
gon's interests in the fair will
doubtless strive to do their duty
and did they possess every quali
fication for their positions, they
could still do but little compared
with the amount ot labor necessary
to make this state's display what
it ought to be. If we can not
arouse the people to a realization
of the magnitude of the world's
fair and of Oregon's capabilities,
it would be better that we do
nothing. A poor representation
would absolutely defeat the object
for which it was intended. The
possible attractiveness and excel
lence of Oregon's display can not
be exaggerated, although it will
require time, energy, brains, and
money for their accomplishment.
Have we these requisites? Can
we obtain them? We have the
time let us begin at once; we
have the energy and brains let
us enlist them; we can obtain the
money let us do so.
The prevalent idea is that local
boards of trade take the initial
steps in the matter, but their ef
forts must be backed .by the en
thusiasm of the people. Let us
insist that it be not necessary to
hammer this world's fair idea into
the conception of individuals.
The possibility of making a dis
play that will command the atten
tion of thousands day after day,
during the progress of the fair, is
clear, although it is saying much
in consideration of the efforts
wliich are now being made by other
states and countries. It is true
that we have mossbacks; they en
tertain a patriotic feeling for their
state; they want to see Oregon
prosper, in the highest degree, but
now, as in the early days, they
have bo much taith in the benef
icence of Oregon soil that they
are content to allow nature to take
its course. True, nature has been
almost the sole factor in the ad
vancement of our state, but let us
hereafter direct her energies by
intelligent effort, and by a proper
representation of Oregon's re
sources and institutions at the
world's fair place our common
wealth in the position to which she
is entitled among the states which
are-now claiming the attention of
capitalists and home-seekers.
The first case under the nev
anti-lottery law of refusal of ad
mission of a newspaper to the
mails because it contained a lot
tery advertisement, occurred at
the Washington city postoffice.
The anti-lottery act was signed by
the President on Friday, and the
postoffice department on Saturday
sent to the city postoffice instruc
tions with respect to the execution
of the law. When the usual sacks
of papers to be sent out of town
arrived at the postoffice, early in
the morning, a few copies of each
paper were examined by one of
the clerks. The clerk found that
the Sunday Chronicle, a paper of
very limited circulation, contained
the lottery advertisement as usual,
and notified the boy who brought
the copies that they could not be
received.
JoHir L, Wilson has been nom
inated for the second time for con
gress by the republicans of Wash
ington. There were no other
names-brought before the convert
tion, and had there been the result
would have been the same.
The only issues raised during
the campaign in Reed's district
were national ones.
THE TARIFF BILL.
The tariff bill reached its last
stages in congress and has been
passed. The basis upon which the
bill was constructed and the theory
upon which it was voted lor by the
republicans in both houses of con
gress is the pledge made in its
platform of 1888, viz., "such re
vision of the tariff law as will
tend to check imports of such arti
cles as are produced by our people,
the production of which gives em
ployment to our labor, and release
from import duties those articles
of foreign production (except lux
uries) the like of which cannot be
produced at home."
The bill is undoubtedly the best
that could be made in considera
tion of the opposing interests
which it was necessary to deal
with. Perhaps the leading feature
of the tariff legislation was the
reduction of $66,000,000 of the
revenue which was accomplished
largely in the abolition of the
duties on sugar. Home producers
of sugar receive a bounty of If
and 2 cents per pound upon their
productions, and the result of the
sugar legislation ought to mater
ially cheapen the staple in ques
tion. There was a heavy clash of
interests on the schedule of bind
ing twine but it was finally com
promised by a reduction of the
duty from cents to 7-10 cents.
The tariff on wool was materially
increased. Tin plate is more than
doubled with the expectation that
this industry will at once begin to
thrive in the United States. By
the passage of the bill the reduc
tion in the internal revenue re
ceipts amounts to about $6,000,
000. This sum is included in the
total reduction mentioned above.
A NEW LOTTERY LA W.
The anti-lottery bill passed by
Congress and signed by the presi
dent is now in operation. Its pro
visions are stringent and have
only to be enforced to suppress the
demoralizing traffic at which it is
aimed, striking as it does both at
the agents and patrons in any lot
tery concern. It is made criminal
for any officer or agent of the
company, or any persons in any
part of the United States to mail
any lottery communication, letter,
postal, circular, ticket, money
order, check or draft, and closes
the mails to every newspaper pub
lishing advertisements of a lottery
or announcements of its drawings.
The bill also aims an effective
blow at any bank or other concern
under whose cover a company may
seek to do its business the postmaster-general
being empowered
to direct any local postmaster not
to deliver registered letters to any
person or company engaged in the
lottery business, or the agent of
such person or company. The old
lottery law was rendered worthless
by the indisposition of the courts
in Louisiana to enforce it, but the
operation of this new law cannot
be baffiled in this way, as its en
forcement is not left solely to the
courts. Sunday Welcome.
"Which Jockey Shall Ride," is
the title of a timely representa
tion of an important local question
in a late number of the West Shore
The scene is a race course; the
bulletin board upon the judge's
stand announces the "Great Free
for all, 1890-1900." Oregon is
represented by an ambitious racer
and there are two candidates for
his mount. One is an intelligent
looking young jockey with "Enter
prise" imprinted upon his colors.
The other is a decrepit old man
whose rounded shoulders bear a
heavy weight ot moss. One eye
is blinded by the "Usury Law;"
his arm has been badly crippled by
the "Mortgage Tax Law;" "False
Economy" has given him rheuma
tism in the knee joint, and his pro
gress has been further impeded by
a large bundle of unequal assess
ments- attached to. his left foot.
Each is to be weighed upon the
scales of "Public Opinion" when
a decision will be rendered as to
"Which Jockey Shall Ride."
IT WILL ST A Y.
There has been considerable
speculation recently regarding the
removal of the Willamette Uni
versity from Salem. The Salem
Statesman prints the deed of land
made in 1854 by Wm. A. Willson
and wife to the trustees of the
Willamette University, of which
the following is an extract:
"And it is hereby specially cove
nanted by and between the parties
to these presents that the lands
hereinbefore described shall be
forever set apart held and used
for educational pnrposes only in
connection with said Willamette
university as contemplated in the
act of its incorporation. But
nothing in this deed contained
shall be so construed as to restrain
the application ot said land here
inbefore described to the use and
benefit of said university should
the location of the same be chang
ed to any point within the corpor
ate limits of said town of Salem;
and, further, that nothing herein
contained shall be so construed as
to restrict the rights of said trus
tees or their successors in office to
sell or otherwise dispose of all or
any of said lands, hereinbefore de
scribed, for the purposes mention
ed in the premises and, further,
that the terms "Salem;" whenever
used in this deed, shall be con
strued to mean the corporate limitSj
the city of Salem or any city by
whatsoever name known which
shall or maybe hereinafter incor
porated including the present loca
tions of the town of Salem."
The effect of this will very like
ly be to quiet all talk and put an
end to any negotiations looking
to the removal of Willamette
university from Salem. That in
stitution can hardly afford to for
feit its claims to the now very val
uable acres donated to it by Mr.
Willson for university purposes.
This property, together with its
improvements, must now be worth
near a million dollars, and it is
quite unlikely Portland or Astoria
will raise bonuses sufficient to
make it to the interest of the-
school to be located elsewhere.
A curious mistake occurred re
cently in Justice Oberlander's
court, New York, which is without
precedent in the annals of juris
prudence and which illustrates how
absurd technicalities may be at
times. Mrs. Carrie Darr brought
an action for au accounting against
J. McCullough, of that city. The
jury agreed in their private room
on 'a verdict in favor of the de
fendant, but when they returned
to the court the foreman blunder
ingly announced a verdict for the
plaintiff. The court accordingly
recorded the decision as announc
ed, and gave judgment for the
plaintiff. After the jury had
been discharged and the lawyers
separated the mistake was dis
covered, but the justice said that
he could not change the records
and that the verdict must stand as
announced. It would be against
public policy to allow the jury to
discredit its own verdict, and it
has been repeatedly held i that
jurymen cannot make affidavits
with reference to what may have
taken place in the jury room.
An example of well-watered
real estate in Michigan is noted
which evinces "enterprise" on the
part of real estate men in the east
unequaled in the Pacific land of
booms. It may serve as a pointer.
Harry J. Dewey, a real estate
broker of Detroit, recently traded
$18,000 in mining stock with
James Hath, of Philadelphia, for
5,500 acres of land in the northern
peninsula of Michigan. Without
looking up his property Dewey
disposed of the entire block to
different parties, and a few days
since on a deed being sent to Sault
Ste Marie for registration it was
discovered that the land in ques
tion lay miles off the shore of
Lake Superior under about 600
feet of water.'
The population of the world
doubles itself in 260 years.
Lieut. Fremont, son of the late
Gen. Fremont, now stationed at
Fort Snelling, Minn., says publish
ed reports concerning the financial
condition of his mother and sister
in California are greatly exagger
ated. While they have no means
of their own, yet they have a reg
ular income out of his and his
brother's salaries. Mrs. Fremont
also looks for the restoration of
seven acres of land in San Fran
cisco formerly owned by her hus
band, and which the government
seized and used for a military res
ervation. She is also hoping that
the $2000 pension for her relief
will be passed at an early date.

SKINS ON FIRE
With Itching, Burning, Bleeding
Eczemas Instantly Relieved,
by Cuticura Remedies.
Our little son will be four years of age on
the 25th inst. In May 1885, he whs attacked
with a very painful breaking out of the fckin.
We called in a physician, who treated him
for about four weeks. The child received
little or no good from the treatment, as the
breaking out, supposed by the physician to
be hives in an aggravated form, became
larger in blotches, and more and more dis
tressing. We were frequently obliged to
get up in the night and rub him with soda
in watsr, strong liniments, etc. Finally, we
called other physicians, until no less than
six had attempted to cure him, all alike
failing, and the child steadily gettiug worse
aud worse, until about the 20th of last July,
when we began to give him Cuticura Re
solvent internally, and the Cuticura and
Cuticura Soap externally, and by the last
of August he was so nearly well that we
gave him only one dose of the Resolvent
about every second day for about ten days
longer, and he has neyer been troubled since
with the horrid malady. In all we used less
than one half of a bottle of Cuticura Re
solvent, a little less than one box of Cuti
cura, and only one box of Cuticura Soap.
