He has burst upon tho world in a very sudden and effulgent manner with a statement of his views npon school books and school matters in general. To say that he sheds light upon the subject is to put it altogether too mildly. He exudes light Irom ffcvery pore. He perspires iigni, so to speak. It is but justice to the Professor to say iurther that bis as sumption of a luminous character, though it startle us by its sudden ness, does not su prise us. It was a thing that was likely to happen at any timo. lhere are Dul inree re quisites for the production of a steady artificial light: firsi, an oleaginous subst nce ; second, a fibrous core, cal- d a wick ; and third, ignition. Now we have no hesitancy in saying that the Professor is an oleaginous sub stance. Hence all he has ever need ed was a wick and something to ig. nite him in order to become a cheap and mild luminary. His nomination as Stale Superintendent furnished the necessary fibrous core; certain in quisitive letters set him going and be held ! Jut lux I We regret to say, however, that the Professor seems to bo a somewhat nebulous luminary. His opinions on school matters, as expressed in his etler to the Oregoniun of the lCih inst., arc rather hazy and indistinct. For instance, he says that the Pacif io Coast Readers are not his "first choice," but he does not tell us what particular choice they are, nor what Headers pre his first choice. He f;iils to enlighten us also as to what he is going to do about it, in case he should bo elected. If he will take tho trou ble to read the law he will find that the books are selected by the County Superintendents and that the state Superintendent has nothing whatcvir to do with the matter except to issue the circulars. The Prolessor's opin ion ot the looks now in use is not likely, therefore, to te of much im portance to anybody in any event. The Professor is unsatisfactorily nebulous also in what he has to say about voting money out of the treas ury to support sectarian Uchools. What has that to do with the office of State Superintendent ? We bad not supposed that the Professor could possibly be o wretchedly ignoraut of the duties of the position for which he is a candidate as not to know that the Superintendent of Public Instruc tion has no more power to vote funds from the treasury for the maintenance of sectarian schools or any other kind of schools than he has to make anap propriatioo to build a lighthouse. It is the business of the Legislature alone "to vole funds out of the trea sury" for any purpose. It does not matter, there-lore, what the Superin tendent thinks about it. We presume, however, that in the expression of his opinion upon this subject and also upon me scnooi book question, Mr. Powell simply in tended to play the demagogue in a ridiculously small way and to make ' capital ' somehow out ot tne opposi tion to the Agricultural College and to the uniform series of text books. The whole tenor of his cat d goes to show that he is itist that sort of per son who would express any ouionion unon any subject that might be sug (rested it he thought he could make vote by u ; ami inai is jiiBt uiu sort of person for whom lb American people have yry hearty contempt. ' The manner of Mr. Powell's com munication does him as little credits its matter. No one would imagine from reading it that the author of it was even a decently educated person, much less a scholar. It is sucn slovenly piece ol componition that any self respecting school boy would be sh!.med of having written it. It abounds in incorrect and inelegant expressions. Take this sentence fcr instance : 4,I have received several letters ihinz to know howl stand on the Pacific Coast Headers and aehool matters in eeeeral." What a seDtance to be written br the Presi dent of a Collegiate Institute ! "Let ters wishing to know," forsooth ! Of course the Professor meant to say that the persons who wrote tie 'el ters wished to know, and he would probably have so eiprsed himell if he bad been able to write the English l.-rrtiajoa nr,all Flrf TteTMlTi of ordinary Intelligence knows that a tattsp nnnnt Bih Ail vibinff. And then thp ir,rMion "how I stand on the Pacific Coast Readers, is simply unmitigated slang and is wholly in excusable in a composition from the pen of a College . Professor. The failure to repeat the preposition "on" before tlio words "school matters" near tho close of the sentence is another violation of the rules of com position and leaves the meaning ob scure. For auglit that appears the noun " matters', may be the object of '"know" or of "on" u dorstood, or the subject of "stand." Take this sentence also : "If churches or private corporations wish to establish schools or i'ou.i'1 colleges, all well so long as they meet their own expenses nnd at k not to be fod lien the Suite Treasury." Now gran inarians tell us that the verbis the frincipal word in a sentence, but the 'rofessor has changed all that. The above sentence, it it may be called a sentence, indicates that he is able to get along very comfortably without any verb. In fact there is neither a subject nor predicate to the sentence. "Ask not to be fed from the State treasury" is another expression that no competent writer of English would use. It has an intolerable twang to a cultivated ear. The ask not" seems to have been borrowed from some hymn. In the connection in which it is used it is about is apppro priate as it would be to say "I go not to school." The latter part of the phrase, "led from the State treasury," is a sort of underdone metaphor. Hero are halt a dozen mistakes in two sentences, and if we had space for it weVould pick out a number of other .sentences equally faulty. Theso are enough, however, to show what sort of Ensrlish the Professor writes. If he should bo elected, which is not likely, it would be necessary to biro some competent person to write his reports, for him, for it would never do to let it go abroad that the highest educations officer in the Statu could notexpress himself in correct Lnglish m a doz. en consecutive sentences. Clerk and Sheriff. Some ot the Democrats of Lane county have fallen into tho habit of voting for the man, irrespective of political differences, trore particularly is this the case with the Republican Clerk and Sheriff. Under some cir ounistances this might be justifiable, but at the present lime there can be no reasonable excuso for doing so, The Democratic candidate for Clerk, It. M. Vealch, is a thorough graduate, a good surveyor, honest, energetic and capable, and in every respect qualified to discharge the duties of the office, Mr. J. C. Yates, our candidate for Sheriff, has been a resident of this county for twenty-five years, and is one of the best farmers in the county. He is a man of unimpeachable integ rity and is a man of more than ordi nary pluck and energy, and is one of the very best selections that could be made in the county. These gentlemen are both unswerving Democrats, and there is no justifiable reason why they should not eel ihe votes ot every Democrat in llie county. Besides, the present incumbents have held the of fices (the two bo; t in ihe county) for two or three terms each, and have tilled their pockets with the emoluments. Rotation in office is a Democratic doctrine as old as the party, and Dem ocrats should act upon that doctrine pun permit these gentlemen to retire ot privae life for a few years. Will the voters of this State select as their chief execntive, a man who was at the back bone of the attempt to defraud Oregon out of an electoral vote? Journal. Will the voters of this Stato sup port the representatives of the parly that did defraud the country out of jifleen electoral votes, and installed a fraud in the Presidential chair ag'inst the protest of half a million voter$? , The Oregon Democrats have robbed the School fund of a large sum in various ways that were dark. Journal. That lie is us dilap idatcd as the bloody shirt. Odell has been reiter ating it for the last yearwithont pro ducing a particle of proof, and now lh editor of the Journal has- taken up the refrain and 's trying to furb ish the shabby old thing up so that it will look respectable. This silly balderdash has been exploded so often that the people begin to re gard those who make it with com tempt. The editor has gone to confer with the chairman and other members of the Green back SUte Central CommitUe. He will prob ably be absent week Labor vt orio. Wondirwhat twopenny deviltry Edmunds and the Chairman and other members ot the Greenback StateCen- Uraf Committee are up to now. llu? proceedings ff that "conference would be fortune to an itinerant J two-bit shorn mm RATIFICATION. The Democrats and anti Mitchell Republicans of Multnomah county mvo tused and nominated a loint ticket composed of men ot both pariies. They held an enthusiastic ratification meeting nt Portland on the 18ih inst., which was addressed by a number of prominent gentlemen, one ot whom was Hon. J. li. Connie. who was a Republican member c the legislature that aleute I Mitchell. Mr. C. said he did not appear for the purpose om.ikitig a speech. He was knowu as a party man. had scarcely ever scratched his ticket, but had votod straight; but Ins party lor the last two or tnreo years had been run in the interest of two or threo men; tickets were set up, and the pcopl did not have any voice in selecting them. He was in the legislature off 18i2 snd voted tor J. H. Mitchell; it Uod would forgive him for that, he would never be guilty of so mean an act again; ho was a free m m and would act as a freeman. He bad been a Democrat before tho war; he had gone off with Union men, but the orruption of the party was driving him back; vet he was not tunnins; as a Democrat, but for the sole and only purposeof defeating John II. Mitchell lie had been called names, amoni; others a blind bridle candidate. It was trim ha had made bridles, and he expected to make blind bridles to put on the Kepublicau candidates that would blind them so they would never get i locled. lie believed one half of the Republicans of Multnomah county would vote the Independent ticket. He described tho doings ol the Republican convention saying the tickets was set up and it was known beforehand what would bo done. Mitchell had done nothing ol good lor Oregon and ought to be beaten. The people all over the state aie iletermiued to break up this infamous ly corrupt ring of which Mitchell u the head, ami any candidate who will uot define his position upon this question is fooling away his timo in making ihccanvass. How is This! Tho Republican candidate for Govomor, C. C. Boekman, is supposed to be a wer.Uhy man, and we believe he is, bat as the most of his wealth is invested in San Francisco, it docs not appear in the assessment rolls. Tho amount for which he was assessed last year is as lollows: 3fio acres f land valued at $ 4.500 Value of City lot...' WO Value of improvements l.HOO Money, notes and accounts 14,630 Household furniture tWKJ One horse 7ft On. head of Cattle 15 Gross value of property $22,530 Amount of indebtednes ands property exempt 7,194 Total value taxble property 119,326 Now this assessment appears all right enough on its face, and is a matter which is nobody's business, perhaps, if it were not (or another little item which does not show in this statement Mr. Beekman draws from the State Treasury yearly the sum of 81,400 as interest on Modoc war bonds. These bond bear seven per cent iutere.it, and consequently he must have invested in these bonds the sum of $20,000. Of course this amount can not be included in the sum chargod abovo as "money, notes and accounts," as that item is only placed at 814,(130, and it is hardly pussi ble to got $20,000 out of a less sum. We can' quite sue how theie bonds on which ho reg ularly draws interest are exempt from taxa tinn. but perhaps thev are a sort of "iloatinii" bonds ami float over the line into California about the time the Assossor is around, We also have it on good authority that Mr. Book mm owns $19,000 worth of Douulai Lounty Wagon Road bonds, or what is known as the "Black Mud dwindle, which it is prouahle. slso have floated around in sucn manner tnat the Assessor never knows of their existence We also wish to inquire if the item of 3(J0 acres of land given above is the half section np Jackson creek which Mr. Beektnan made oath was more valuable for agricultural than mining purposes, snd which every citizun of Jackson county knows would not support jack rabbit six months in the year, and is not worth $4 30 for agricultural purpose!. Th ground is supposed to contain vahiable mines, and in order to gets patent to it "Beek" had to make oath as above, and if it has any value at all it is for mining purposes. Possibly th half section of mineral land purchased as agri cultural land is not the one assessed above for $4,500. But these matters properly rest with . V, ..Mian, nA 'Rwi1r nnolanAA and if they are satisfied we suppose the peo ple should be. Meek is a success as a bro ker and money lender, and is doing such good basinets in that line that the people of Oregon won't feel like asking him to abandon it lor the poor pittance of a governor s salary; besides if he was obliged to stay here in Ha km he wouldn't have so good opportunity I it looking alter bis swamp lands in Lake county. Mercury. Which. Mr. Campbell ihe Green back candidate has ' withdrawn foi ra the contest and left our friends of that party to choose between Govern or YV hiteaker and Rev, limes. Mr. Hincs, in his speech here, declared emphatically iu favor of, and stoutly defended the inlsmons National Hanking Svstem. while Governor Whiteaker denounced the-einouitoos thieving corporal ions, and pledged himself lo use his influence, is elected, for ihe repeal of the law which creat ed them. Which will you choose? If you vote for Hinesyoo. vote direct ly for the com inunnee of National Banks, if you yotetor Whiteaker you vote lor meir suppression. THE CANVASS. So far the canvass has dovclopoa iut few new facts outside of whr.t. may bd gleaned from the press, bnt has assumed a character that is in gome - respects objectionable to the we!l posted voter of the county. So lar it has been a species ot crimination and recrimination of the public officers of ach party. Hon. R. B. Cochran and Judge hompson, who are canvassing in be- alf o tlie Democracy of tnis county, avo called tho attention of the R- ublican candidates to this fact, an ! ask them what elso they would do, if octed, for Lane county besides vot ing for Mr. Mitchell, to whiah the only responsewe have so far heard is" I targe and stand ready to prove tlut Grover subsidized a partisan orei-s 1 charge and stand ready to prove tat tho Haker City Academy loan as a swindle I I charge and stan 1 ready to prove that there is a lock and dam swindle perpetrated by tht )emooratio party that ought to crush and further charge and stand ready to provo that tho Democratic party endeavored to thrust these locks pon the people of Oregon at the enormous price of six hundred thou sand dollars, and this last charge I irovo by the Repubti:an party's cam paign documents, or from a speech of . IM. Dolph I don't know which." Now it appears to us that all tl.ese Marges have lost a great deal ot their vivacitv and needs no foreigner or gentloman from whose boots the dust of Missouri has not fallen to enlighten our people in regard to them.. Tho people of Lane county have heard those charges iterated and reit erated ever sinco 1870 and desi.o something a little less stale. The last charge this Demosthenes makes, and proves from J. N. Dolph s speech, is a Republican measure, and he has weakened on that bit of cheap ihun der. And it docs appear, even if thoso charges had any semblance of truth in them, that they would work hard on the Repnlican party, as Mr. Ruti.s Ma I lory, holding the olllce ot Uuited Stales District Attorney under Mr. Hayes, ad the Kepublicnn candidate or Secretary ot biate, Mr. iiarbeart, were both strenuous supporters of all these measures. Now we wonder what answer this modern Demosthonese, Mr. Fugan, would make it ho and Mr. Rosooe Knox wero charged with entering into an agreement with Mr. John Kelly to support J. II. .Mitchell for U. S. Senator; We farther wonder it ho lias forgotten his pledge to Mr. Kelly when Kelly was in Eugene two weeks prior to the Republican con vention Let tho gentleman answer these questions before he proceeds farther to shame Hon. R. li, Coohran a msn who is abovo reproach and has la bored hard for your iuterest for twen ty-five years in tho legitlature of Or egon. Judge J. M. Thompson lias sover il vory important measures which, if elected, he will press upon the legis lature for their consideration ; one especially recommends itself that oi making transactions in real estate more stable, and prevent, on i very little technicality, men being de frauded of their homes and dragged into the U. S. Distaict Court to de fend their titles; and with such men as H. F. Dorris, R. 1$. Hayes and J. E. Holt men who are linked to the fortunes of our county ; who tre tied down here with their families and possessions ; who help bear the bur den of taxation and cannot get up and leave at a moment's . warning, like some of the Republican canoi dales, we may rest assured that th interests ot our county and State wil be attended to. Our Democaatio candidates have a bill to present to the legislature by which every specie of property may bear a just and equitable proponnu of taxation, and we should heartil. support them in this measure. Ihe canvass between the canui dates for Senators, Messrs. Coeht iM, Pengra and uill, docs not assume much the aspect of crimination r, l recrimination, but i prinipally eout n ed to the financial issues of the U Mr. Cochran states in forcible i: ' his objections to tho resumption a. thereby contracting the currency f the country ,and shows the great Iran,, that is practiced npon the peoj ! through that insttniion called ir rational banking system. In this In- i partly seconded by Dr.Gill while Mr Pengra has some ideajctiliarly' bn own, being neither Democratic entirely Republican and in this res-c we give him credit being what h. claims an indepdent mao.' Eutul their futile efiorts will not prevent old Bob from bejng returned to the j Legislature as the sympathies of tho people ar wiin wrn
