of which according to the report of the
United Suvtes Auditor of Railroad Ac

wrtmbered that tho first 2,000.000 acre,
old for 9,000,000, more than 83 per
cr, or 1 127,000,000. The lowest
valuation now put upon the grant it
$108,000,003. As the road cost but
$67,466,000, the company gets a
premium of 112.000,000 over and
there the cost of construction for
building it.

Some of the recent Republican
meeting in Ohio aw said to resem
ble Hannibal Hamlin's famous caucus.
As the story gooj, the venerable Han
nibal was very anxious to obtain a
home indorsement of a measure he had
introduced in Congress, and to this end
had summoned a caucus of Republicans
hot, for some reason, only two pernons
attended, Mr. Hamlin anJ a neightar.
The other man was elected Chairman
and the veteran politician proceeded to
transact the lousiness in hand. The
resolutions adopted read, "a largo and
respectab!) caucus of leading Republi
cans. " "Rut," said the chairman, "Mr.
Hamlin, we are only two." "What of
that! Yon are, largo and I'm respocla
ami wh ni-fl both Wdin"." That
settled it S. F. Examiner.
The Tort land Standard is said to
again favor Justice Field, of Califor.
nia for the Presidency, and therefore
proceed to "demolish" the old ticket
To save that paper further trouble, we
hereby inform tho editor that the
next Democratic State Convention will
not choose delegates that will misrep
resent its constituents as the majority
of them did iu the Convention of 1880.
We believe that svnn eights of the
Democrats of Oregon favor tha nomi
nation of Tildeu and Hendricks, two
of the ablest and best men of our day,
whose nomination presages sweeping
victory. Tho slander and calumny
of these men by Republican newspapers
show how they fear them and with
what good cause. Rut to mar the
splendid chance of Democratic success
next year, and to boldly invite defeat
ly a poor and unpopular nomination
is aomnthing that we shall protest
gainst from this day until the meeting
of the Convention. ,
" A number of papers are blaming
Missouri for the failure to convict
Frank James of his crimes. True,
Missouri has a large class of men who
teem to think that crime is heroisn
but it is not tint only state in which
verdicts as manifestly unjust have been
rendered, as witness tha acquittal of
Iliscock in New York a few years ago,
of Dukes in Pennsylvania list year,
and of the great star route robWs in
Washington not Ions aeo. Missouri
juries do not lack for examples, East
Oregonian.
JL number of tho people, of Portland
are coming to the conclusion that the
grand celebration on the lOthaud 11th
was a very imposing funeral process
ion. If Portland intends retaining the
business of the north wist she must he
abl to ship wheat at much less cost
than at the present time, as when ship
ping from tho Sound begins, the rales
will be materially reduced from the
present prices charged at tho inlaud
city.
The venerable widow of ex Presi
dent Polk still lives in tho retirement
of Iter beautiful home inTennessee. She
celebrated her eightieth birthday on the
6th of the present month, at which lime
many citizens of Nashville called upon
htr; With the exception of Mrs. Gar
field, who has as yt scarcely reached
tha prime of life, Mrs. Polk is the only
Widow cf an esPresideut of the United
&ac now living.

Jas. R. Stephens of Multnomah
county has, by a late decision by Judge
Stott, recovered a large amount of land
in Portland and Washington county
front the rstite of Dr. J.C.Haw
thorne. It appear that Stephens when
involved in debt, in 1877 received a
loan of abotrt (14,000, giving his pro'
perty as security for the loan, since
when it has rapidly risen in value, but
Stephens was unable to raise the money
t3 liquidate claims of his creditors and
the property was recognized as the es
tate of Hawthorne. Now Stephens
has come forward and tendered the
full amount due Hawthorne's heir
about 40,000 and receives back his
property. The remainder of the land
unsold to pay debts is worth $50,000.
The publication of the pension list of
the United States was thought to be a
good thing and Congressmen and Sen
ators fluttered themselves that they
had at last hit upon a happy expedient
for preventing frauds. The idea was
no doubt a good one, hut it was miser
ably mismamged in its execution, In
stead of priming these lists in the
county papers where the pensioners
Ihe, they are all piled up together in
a great big book which but few people
will ever see, much less have an oppor
tunity to examine. If tho list of each
county was published once a year in
the local newspaper, all would see it
and the object sought to 1 occomplish
ed woull bo secured. This would be a
sensible plan and one that would com
mend itself to public judgment, but
this idea of burying tha list in a big
book Is pure nononso.
Reecher's lectures in Snn Francisco
are said to have been a failure, 6 nan
cially. Slim audiences greeted him at
all four of his lectures, and he shakes
the dust of San Francisco off his feet
with feelings akin to indignation at tin
"stupidity" of her people. Bencher is
not as popular on this coast as hemight
oe, lie made utterances a year ago
in regard to the Chinese question that
have not leen forgotten, and certain
things he has said abont it since com
ing out here has not trnded to add
largely to his popularity
The Prohibition state convention of
Michigan voted to raisn 1100,000 as a
campaign fund, endorsed the platform

raigned the Republican party for bad
faith in not submitting tho question
