THE EUGENE CITY GUARD. JtATUltPAY.. ..JANUARY 17, 18811. Editorial Corrckpumlrflte- Salem, Or., Jan 15, 1885. The Thirteenth Uiennift! wwtion of th Oregon IKialaturo convened in this city lout Mondiy. Thu houne ftTfctcd a temporary organization promptly in tha morning. In the af ternoon of the sanifl day a permanent organization was effWted. Th candi dates for Hpooker were: Montayne, Daruccra:, of Linn; GilU-rt, of Marion; Portland Ring IL-puMican and Keady, of Benton, Anti Rinif RopuMitan. On tba Bret ballot Montaynn received the entire Democratic vote, while Gillier1 and . Keady received the Republican vote evenly, 17 votes Wing received by each. On the second hallot Gillert received he entire Republican voto ex cept 10, who voted for Keady, while Montayne received the Demoeratic vote. Junt prior to the announcement of tho vote the Democratic ineiiibent began changing to Keady, which created much excitement especially among the menus oi inn ring canuuuur, Gilbert. The Republicantjdeclare that the minority party scornl a triumph, and for all practical purpose have thf (Speaker on their nid. One fact is cer tain that Simon, Hirwh, et al, received i back set that they wero not expecting. In the Senate after much wrangling in the caucus tho Republicans ehcted a gentleman for President, Hon Win Waldo. He is said to stnnd right on the railroad question and also upon the Mortgage Tax Law. Portland certain tainly does not control the present Leg iulnture, The Democrats cost their complimentary voto for President for that nohht and firm disciple of De mocracy, Hon E Hoult, of Linn, The Senatorial election has been put ofF a week from next Tuesday, by a brilliant troLe of '.he Democracy, helped by a mall portion of the Republicans of the house not completing their organization until Tuesday. The Republicans are badly scared over tho situation, as they are afrnid thst the Democrat io mem bers of the body will vote solidly for some vnobjectionalile Republican who will support the Cleveland administra tion. At the present lime it would noeui that the Republicans would hold no caucus, each one of the popular candidates being afraid of the result of audi a body. From talk in the lobby it would appear that Hoi Hirsch would have the most votes on the first ballot. lut it m the general opinion that he will not ho elected, m a number of nti-inoiiopoly Republicans declare ltey will never vote, for him. The name of "Flaxbrako" Williams is often mentioned, but it is generally believed that 1 has very little original support, it being! nearly entirely of a secondary nature, Henry Failing, of Portland, Las noise friends among his dulegalion. M OtGcorge's name is scarcely ver mentioned ho has no chance whatever. Gov Moody may prove a formidubh candidate when the break occurs, us we Understand that he is the only interior man m Oregon who can secure the Portland vote. W Lair Hill is here and also has his lightning rod up, und we kuirn has a few votes pledged unto liituwlf. Mitchell is scarcely ever mentioned, but he has a fewfriomls presenl who are on the alert. Col Knight, of Salem also has entered the list but does not have 'much strenghi. T2d Watson is not mentioned. J udge Boiaa bos rooms titled up and wn learn from- good authority ihat ho has a inrmber of anti monopolists pledged to him. The man "with a head full of brains," the gallant Colonel Kelsay, of Benton, is on the scene and swears that bo will carry off the honors, if thu party Las any sense, which he is fearful they are deficient in. Hon 12 L Apptegate is around "button holeing," and claims support for Mug '.hi oi.ly original Republican in Oregon, but of course possesses no support with the exception of Cameron of Jackson. The struggle far this office, at the Dresent writing promises to lie a long bitter one. Rumors are rife that the Alaska Fur Co have a sack of $30,000 which they will expend for the notorious Williams. The Democrats will probably hold a caucus in the near future and detei- mine upon some course. Among the endidates mentioned by the minority V4 have heard the following able entleioen: Senator Jas II Slater, Cor John Whiteaker, Gov W W Thayer, Hon R 8 Struhan and John BaruML In all likelihood each will teceive ooiuplimeutsry UlloU. The sourse of Senator Slater is heartily fldowd by his Democratic constituenU ot the Legislature, and if his party wert in the majority' he woulj be elected, we Mieve, unanimously. It is generally Mieved that the present Legislature will pass a railroad bill with similar "provisions to tho Reagen bill which recently passed the House at Washington. Both houses have patsed a resolution unanimously asking our Senators in the U S Senate to make and vote for said law. A registry law will be passed. There will be an Attempt ma.le to abolish the Mortgage Lax Law, liut I do not think it will win. We hear many members of the Legislature expressing themselves as favorable, to the building of another edifice for the State University. The menibeis from Lane are working hard for the best interests of Lane county and deserve the hearty commendution of their constituents. One thing is an absolute certainty, Portland will net control legislation this year. Tim main lobbies here now are in the interests of the division of different counties, lie foro long, however, we expect lobbies from tlei railroads, money lenders, etc Bills, both good and bad, are being in troduced in innumerable numbers. rr.iiso.vAi. .1 N floltra h i been elected Heading Clerit of tlit Solute.

He i a good worker. Mr Seymnur Condon intend enteringupnn the practice of law iu a short time. He thinks lis will locate iu Portland, NOTES. There were four women applicant for vory clerkship, aud they were generally given positions. Hon L llilyeu ha introduced the Univcrsi ty building bill in the House. The members from Lane county bourd at private residence. From appearance it would seem thnt the Chemekct iiiaungcuicut is on its last legs. Yusterday a Sol Hirsch was entering the Senate Chamber one ot hi friends called to him that he bail nu buiine in there! He asked, why? Ho received the answer, That it the Oregon State Grange. " He saw the point. Surprise will be the order of the day iu this Legislature, Senator Hoult, of Linn, Senator Rhine- hart, ot Union, Senator Miller, of Josephine, and Representative Watt, of Liun, were once u u a time resident of Lane county. A bill will likely pas tin Legislature re lating tu the practico of medicine aud tur nery. Mr Bancroft, the veteran historian, lives a very regular life, und as he has always taken a great deal of out door exercise, it is not bard to account for his long life. 1 Iu has never burdened himself with work. He has It-en all his long life writing a history that could havo been written in ten years with moderate, labor. One page tf manuscript a day of :'30 words he re gards as a good day's work. Mr I'.laine. his fellow historian, a man in full viuor of his Jife, tegards 1,000 words a dav as all any man can bu expected to do well for a period of protracted work, Mr Uancroft is a very considerate in dividual. He is a fierce Dtunocrjt and does not rsuognite tho word Republi can. In speuking of them he always says, "You Whigs," Up i0 the close of last fall he has always devoted several hours a day to horse back riding. Senator Garland of Arkansas seems to be designed by the voice of universal approval for a place in Cleveland's cabinet. Ihe Cincinnati Enquirer re cently invited prominent politicians, North and South, to submit a list 0f names for the cabinet, and almost every oi.o of theso lists contains the name of A II Garland in connection with the Attorney-Generalship. Cleveland hsa discovered withiu the past few months that he has a grtat many relativea. 1 Low Tariff Straw. An illustration of the beneficail ef fects upon manufacturers of a low tariff is !iven by Mr Perry in his new work on Political Economy. In 1872, not daring to go into the Presidential can vass cf that year with the taxes as they were, the Republicans in Congress re. moved the duties upon a number of articles, and reduced most of the list 10 per cent. Among the articles put up on the' free list were coffee and raw hides, and this led at once to an in creased trade with Venezuela, whence a large part of the foreign supply of the latter is secured, and U a large increase of our exports of tanned leather. In 1870, In-fore tho repeal of tho duty, our whole import and export trade with Venezuela amounted to only $3,345,145. In 1870 our trade with th it country amounted to $0,299,993.. The increase of our shipping in the trade wWn that republic during this time was from (if teen vessels to 134; from a tonnage of 2,571 to 43,450, and from 109 sailor to 1,255, Our exports in tanned leather increased from $2,664,000 in 1872, under taxed hides, to ?7,940,010 in 1876, under free hides. A similar experience has resulted in the hide and leather trade of California, from the same cause. All this was the outcome of freeing from taxation two articles only, nnd me raw material. These in direct results of just a little freedom will ct.rtainly encourage the Demo, cratio administration to further efforts in the same direction. It ought te do so, at all events, S. F. Examiner. A Washington special says: Demo cratic officers of the army are beginning to arrive in Washington, ar.d a Demo cratic captain, who has been out on the frontier for seventeen years siys. "I have come to Washington to s'ay. I have seen all the frontier service I ever intend to, Now wii'ie of the Republ:. can bnys can go out and take my place for a bile, ft im (hit first time I hi d a chance to see Washington for a great ninny years. 1 walked up through the war department, to-day to pick out a ' good soft berth for myself, und you liavn ' no idea how polite they were to' me. I also discovered thnt there were an unusual numiier of Democrats in the service."

Tariff Retaliation Concress can be very funny when it does not intend to be. There can 1st nothing funnier than this talk of retal iating upon Europe for tsxing our cereal products. When Germany and Frunce thought they had found bugs in our pork and refused to admit provis ions from ibis country, Congress breath ed out threats of retaliation. They came to naught. England claimed that American cat tie were diseased, and imposed restric tions upon the importation of live stock into Great Britain. Under tin lead of some funny men in Conre.s tlm West began tJ buckle on its horse pintols and h.iwie knives iu order to "retaliate." This movement never lecame effective. Europn leurns that American petro leum is "doctored.", and France thinks that n few more francs duty upon American grain will "boom" matters in France. Now, auairt wo hear the mum bled threats of retaliation, and again do they come from that funny Congress of onrs. Why is it funny! Decause it origi nolly tiit off an inch of its nose by tin posing restrictions upon the commene of this country, nnd when other na tions do the same because ibis nation did it, Congress hops up and down and howls out, "do it, and I'll bitn another inch from my nose!" 1 liar funny Con gress, ojkI that hug joke, retaliation! The Grocer's Advocate hits the fol lowing account of an ingenious contri vance to take the place of matches, and which it says is now used by all the watchmen of Paris in all the magazines where expolsives or ir.flamablo mater ials are kept, Tuke an oblong vial of the whiteat and clearest glass and put into it a piece of phosphorous about the size of a pea. Pour some olive oil heated to the boiling point upon the phosphorous, fill the vial about one-third full and cork it tightly. To use tho novel light remove the cork, allow the air to enter tho vial and then recork it. This empty spaje in the vial will lie come luminous, ai d tl e light obtainrd is equal to that of a lamp. When the Iglit becomes dim ils power can be in creased by taking out the cork and al- 1 iwing a fresh supply of air to enter the vial. Gov CleiVand ni.ceptH no bull pups. aer. Good News! A. STIN1T.
