B:nle - to fear ("VtJ.fl not naid in a-ifsuce't 8 si JA'Sf B L A INS The end came at 1 1 a. m. o;i tlte morning of Ja:i:iary 27ih, Very peaceful anl serene wil.ti hira was the ivtrtir.g ino:r;o.nfs. He hud recognized im frieads and smiled upon them; then in a lift le whila lie sank into unconsciousness and from thi.s into the last eternal 6leep, t'13 transition was with out a shudder or an apparent patisr of suffering. James G. Blaine was dead and the nation mourned such? orrow as it but rarely be stowed, and that only upon those 6ons she has loved the best. Born in 1830, Mr. Blaine was far from being an old man. Na ture gave hira an excellent con stitution, and he never under mined it by any kind of dissipa tion. Whatever form, however, his fatal disease may have taken, he eerain'y fell a victim to over work. His powers of .concentra tion and endurance were wonder ful. His fast sreat labor was in conducting the correspondence with the Italian government over the New Orleans massacre. He could not recuperate after that strain, lie had never spared him self in any public service, and no persuasion of friends could induce him to nuko a, new departure then. Mr. Blaine was one of the great est secretaries of state this country ever had, which is saying a great deal, for ths roll of that oiiiee, j beginning with Jefferson and em bracing John Quincy Ail;iins,01ny, "Webster, Marcy and Seward, is conspicuously honorable, Mr. Blaine's reputation as a statesman will largely rest upon his career in this oince. As a member of congress and speaker of the house he was a party leader, a politician of the highest sense of that term, but still a politician. When he "was put in charge of the slate de partment he broadened his base and widened his vision. Ho then hatlto deal with nations, and not with parties. Tho interests in trusted, to him were those of all the people ef the United States. He had a keen appreciation! of. the difference, and an .adaptability which amounted to genius. Whatever he had to do James G. Blaine has always done it so well that it seemed to be tho one thins: he was made for. In his early manhood he achieved state reputation as a campaign manager. An eloquent orator and popular on the stump, he conducted some of the mos t 'yt b ri i 1 i a u t jca i n pai gn s of American politics, ail tho while keeping hi.i own personality in the background, and not showing any impatient haste to supersede older men in his own state. The - consequence was that he acquired a hold upon the hearts of "the peo ple of Maine before he had begun to be so widely known which noth - ing could shake. His national career began' with his election to the speakership in 1869, but the country had very lit tle appreciation of his superb pow ers until the tirsfc post-war demo cratic house of representatives came info power 1875. As the leader of the minority on the floor of conrre33 he electrified the re publican partv and won "a follow inz of admiration which made him ever after a groat party leader, He was the very embodiment of republicanism as an aggressive force. No other leader of his gen eration had such a great opportu nity, and he improved it to well that when at last lie was nomma ted for the presidency it took a 'Complication of disastrous acei dents to beat him. That campaign of 18S- left Mr. Blaine with enfeebled health. His refusal to be a candidate in 18S3 .-was clue to the shadow of death, a shadow that steadily darkened and took more and more definite jiess of shape until now it has given place to the substance. It is difficult to estimate a great - political career while the smoke of conflict still hangs over tiie held of battle. Bnt certain it is that tip to the time that Mr. Blaine was forced by failing 'health to gradually withdraw himself from public affairs he was the most po tential personality in American politics. As the dead statesman is follow ed to the tomb, candid men of whatever partisan belief, 'are pay ingtribute to hi3 name according to his worth. As an instance the" appended excerpt from the Even ing Telegram, radically democratic and the ablest of its party in the state, is the germ of eloquence ai:d considerate justice. We quote : "Mr. Blaine's place in Ameri can history is as fixed and perma neut as that of his great prototype, mnc i in A two men, and a striking similarity in their political careers. Both men were brilliant leaders; both the objects' of hero worship among their partisans, and both died with out reaching the-goal of their am bit ion. There can be no partisanship in the universal grief over the death of tho great statesman. He be longed to all America, and all Am ericans mourn his loss. We are proud of his name and his fame, and, forgetful of all the foibles of the man, we cherish the memory of !iis greatness, and of his patriotic devotion to American instit utions. Afterlife's iitful fever may he sleep well." ; CAUi,l AND EFFECT, Many of our exchanges are in distress over the employment of so many clerks in connection with legislative work. There is a cer tain class of good, pious people who believe that a preacher ought to cut cord wood six days of the week and preach a learned sermou on Sunday. No doubt the num ber of clerks is excessively large and expensive, but in criticising this fact, we must go beyond the fact to the cause of it. If there were no committees needed, standing or special, there would be calls for very few clerks. Now then, if there were no public institution?, say normal school, agricultural coi'ege, etc., with their beneficiaries; no insane people to necessitate an asylum, no law breakers making use for the peni tentiary, no railroad traffic to cail for investigation, no county divi sion schemes, lar.d grant jobs, spe cial taxation bills and the thousand-undone concerns of local or private character that spring from every nook and corner of tho state every session if there were none of these affairs to be attended to there would be no need for com mittees and consequently the "clerk nuisance" would be a mat ter unknown. These matters, like the poor, "ye have with ye always," how ever, and the only question about it is, who is accountable for it un less it be that everlasting, restless, energetic, discontented, ever changing combination of the body politic yclept "we the people?" Legislators in the outcome are judged by the salutary measures they accomplish for the benefit of the commonwealth as well as their peculiar constituencies. They are granted a certain time to do their work in. this does not -contemplate that in addition to their legitimate duties of examining in to, introducing and considerately championing needed measures they shall be expected to keep books, and accouuts, and other clerical details that in most in stances mak9 up a good man's work by itself. It may be that the coming legislator will bo one of those we hear of, who will hull himself into the breach, fairly ach ing to devote 21 hours each of 40 straight days as a wise law-maker, a general swash-buckler for the deluge of petty jobs, a book keep er and accountant for the whole caboodle, while at the same time lie will be willing to work for his board, and do chores for what he eats, thereby saving the peo ple that expense. Such a person age, however, doesn't answer to roll call at this assembly ; his name in fact does not adorn in pris matic brilliancy the sable horizon that shades the dim future from our ken. Hence the obnoxious clerk is legitimatily here; he is here to. stay until that felicitous period when the average con stituency has nothing to ask of its legislative champions no, not even so much to ask for as a cush ion for his various county seat. This bill before tho legislature requiring railroads to fence in their lines is pronounced by the press generally as a good one. Of course it is. There is no reason why a railroad juggernaut that generally forces its way through men's lands whether they are will ing or not, should be allowed peacably to further, transform those premises into a system of slaughter pens on a pay-you-nolh-ing basis, an' more than a cir cus should have unquestioned li cense to turn a herd of - ele phants loose on the same sort of a swath., across the country. The railroad animal. ought to be re strained from violence upon the interests of men, as well as the circus animal. When- King's bill to distribute the 5 per cent, fund, now in the hands of the state treasurer, came up for its third reading yesterday in the . house, Geer of Clackamas moved to amend, it 60 as to dis tribute the fund equally among the counties regardless of "area, etc., but, it "was lost. Upton wanted to amend by directing Curry county's portion to be ex ponded on the road between Port Orford and the Coos county line but that, too, failed of adoption, - and the bill parsed with 47 ayes to 10 nays. Statesman." MURDER'S FRIGHTFUL RECORD. The murder role of 1 892 shows the same steady increase of crime and the steady decline of justice that has been noted for many years past. The Chicago Tribune has care fully collected the statistics of mur ders, lynehings. legal hangings, auicides and the like for several years. The number of murders it shows for 1892 was 6,792. In 1891 the number was 5,905, in 1890 it was -1,290, in !38D it was 3,5G7 and in 1 887 it. was 2,335. The increase of murder has ac companied a sleat'.y decline in hanging by judicial decree. The number of judicial hangings was 123 in 1891 and 107 in 1892. To make up for the decrease in judi cial hangings there has been nn increase ia the number of lyneh ings. The lynehings that wore 195 in 1S91 jumped to 238 in 1892. What is tho reason this remark able increase in murder? Is the country becoming more lawless? It would certainly appear so when the number of murders is doubled in four years and exceeds by over 1,000 men the number killed on both sides in the bloodiest battle of the civil war. The explanation sa3Ts the Exam iner is not hidden'very deep, under tho figures. The declaration ot the shrewd criminal that "Hang ing is played out" is justified by the record. Oay one murderer in sixty five was punished by judicial hanging. The lynehings scored a better record, bnt lynehings have their drawbacks, and even these took only one murderer in thirty. A lynching is as complete in its way in disposing of a murderer as a legal hanging," but it accom plishes only the least important part of a set punishment for mur der. The object of hanging a mur derer is not only to avenge the crime, but to warn other evil-disposed persons that the death pun ishment will follow murder. The action of mob law is so sporadic that any moral effect in deterring criminals is usually wanting. " It is clear enough to any one who will use his eyes that the law has become so tangled up in tech nicalities that it is less and less a deterrent to violence and murder. When a man knows that there is only one chance in sixty-five that he will be hanged for mur der the evilly disposed arc not likely to hesitate to shoot and cut when any one offends them. This is why murderers are not convicted, sentences of death are not -executed and the murder re cord runs up at the frightful rate pressnted above. " . Hanging is "played" out'' under the present .laws and murder holds the board. It is time thore was a new deal. The Hawaiian native govern ment was turned out to grass, by a revolution the other day, and a provisional government having been formed it made an appeal for annexation to the United States. Commissioners are at Washington negotiating. It is said the preponderance of gov ernmental sentiment, including President Harrison, favors annex ation. A representative of the British government is reported as intimating that. England, France and , Germany are not likely to consent to . American acquisition of the island. Adherents of the deposed queen say the revolution wa3 a put up job in which Americans - took a prominent part, and this is denied. The facts in the case may be known later on.- There is an , admirable opportunity for the United States government fo "make haste slowly" in this business.

" - ' A LETTER FROM DO VES. Dover, N. II;,' Jan. 22, 1 893. Editor Gazette: Do you know what you have done for me? I say do you liiiow what you have done for me? I would not write to you while the full heat of my justand righteous anger was upou me for fear. I might use language un worthy a man of my ability, but now that my wrath has somewhat abated I think that I may trust myself to read you a short lecture, which though it may not be ac ceptable I trust will be beneficial. Here had I been three whole weeks tefling.everyoue with whom I held converse of the many ad vantages wo possessed in far away Oregon, dwelling at length on our delightful iimmers, our mild though misty winters; I had told them of our noble forests, our fields of waving giain; I pictured to them tho beautilul Willamette as it winds its way through a country rich in agriculture; Iliad told them that high winds were unknown to us, that snow was a curiosity in short, I had given them to understand that with us it was almost perpetual summer, and that our scenery was unsurpassed and while I havo been thus eulo gizing my "sunset home," you have been scaled in your editorial sanctum ami. while surrounded by every luxury, ignoring the many I gifts with which nature lias sur- ! rounded you, havo with one sweep of your diabolical pen unraveled the whole beautiful fabric, causing my hitherto spotless name to be used as a synonym for everything untruthful. Nevertheless, like Banquo's ghost 'I will not t'own," but, Phoenix like, out of the ashes of my former de.'eat rise to higher, a nobler life. Speaking of a nobler life natur ally suggests love and marriage, now how love can exsist in this climate I am at a Joss to under stand. Picture to vourself'a young bride stantli.ig at the altar with icedrops on her silky eyelashes, an icicie hanging from the nose of the groom, yhileco!d waves play at hide and seek up and down the spinal column. Can love exist under such conditions? Never. The idea is preposterous, and with out love marriage is a failure. Now I do not intend reading you a dissertation on this subject, I am am simply giving you some of my thoughts one cannot help think ing even though imbeded in an ice burg, and I am so near it that the illustration is applicable for this ha3 been (he coldest winter known in these pars for fifty years. The mercury has been cavorting around down about zero most of the time away below for the past six-weeks, and. out; of door exer cise has not been considered, gen erally speaking, pleasant. . But having- friends living at Ports mouth, a seaside "town Tot some twelve or fourteen thousand in habitant?, ten miles east of Dover, whom I was anxious .'to see, I boarded tho train one frosty morn-i ing and wended my- way thither. On first entering "Portsmouth, the narrow, irregular streets, the old stylo .of architecture, the ab sence ot "street railways, etc., are so suggestive of the good old colo nial times that one cannot help noting the absence of the pow dered wig, the clawhammer coat with gilt buttons, the frilled shirt front, the knee pants and buckles, and other, articles that Went to make up the apparel of our good old forefathers of ye ancient times. But on fur her investigat ion the many modern improvements not noticed at a casual glance, gradu ally dispel the illusion and one finds oneself in an active, bustling city. - Portsmouth boasts of hav ing the largest dry and fancy goods store, the largest and most com modious hotel, the largest and best equipped brewery, and the largest boot and shoe factory in the state 'of New Hamshire. I would have greatly enjoyed visiting all of these establishments but my time being limited had to confine myself to a visit to the last named, an immense brick strac ture six stories in height. I was taken in charge by- Col. Berry, tiie superintendent, who kindly showed me over the entire build ing; and I assure you it. is a sight worth seeing. Twelve hundred operatives were busily engaged tending machinery, there being but little of tho work done by hand. I had known something of the in ner workings of a shoe factory twenty-five years ago, but I fiud it was then in its infancy; the in ventive genius of the past quarter of a century has been something wonderful. 1 passed a. couple of .hours in this establishment, and then my time having expired took my l Way homeward, thinking if every one were as pleasant as gen ial Col. Berry what & happy world this would be. W. E. Paul EuGEXfi Register: From ''all ap-. pearance there is no cliance for auy of lhe county division schemes to get through : the legislature.

John Corb&tt, a "..brother of the famous pugilist, is in jail at Port land on a charge of vagrancy. lhe Jate storm was severe throughout eastern Oregon, the wind blowimr at the rate of 40 miles an hour and driving the snow into drifts.

Prune raising in southern Ore gon has proved most , profitable, one farmer last season receiving $2079 for prunes raised on ten acres, while a neighbor received $1S92 for the . product of eight acres. From one half to seven teuths is the net profit, according to variations of prices. The Territorial Enterprise, pub lished as a morning daijy at Vir ginia City, Nevada," foe 'more than 32 year.!, has stopped! In its prospprpiiisjlays it had such versa tile writers as Mark Twain and Dan de Quille. That state is decreas ing in wealth and population. Her electoral vote, wtyich was 19,700 in 1876, was c.nl v. " 0,700 in 1892. Two bills have been introduced, nearly alike. One provides that "If auy person other than an offi cer ou lawful business, being armed with gun, pistol or other firearms, shall go or trespass upon any inclosed premises or lands, without the consent of the owner or possessor thereof, such tres passer shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor anil upon conviction thereof shall be punished by a fine not less than $15 nor more than $50, and in default of pay ment of the fine imposed shall be committed to the jail of the county in which the offense is committed one day for every $2 of the said fine." One of the bills to make it unlawful for hunters to shcot from or upon the county road, and dogs trespassing upon the premises or land of another may be killed by the laud-owner with out further ceremony. ,A Firs brand- fell into camp the other day, when a bill was in troduced to require a two thirds vote necessary to locate or relocate a county seat. The delegation from Polk is expected at this junc ture to paddle uot its little log. MISSIONARY'S STORY How lie Suffered from Eczema. Doc tors Failed. Grew Worse. Death Only Belief Expected.
