THE WqEHsT3TYGUARD iATUUIUY'l .JA.SUAItY 2. I8J-6. , Cummlulontr Sparks. This gentleman Iion ft big job on his landa, and lie tmm equal to it. He it trying to reform thn adminiHtration of thn land lawg, investigating pant frauds, nullifying them a far as lie can, and swing that thn act and in tenta of Congrena are carrind out lion fitly. We have abiding faith in Mr. Sparks, and while thera may lie somn delay, yet we brlieve that in the end, evnry man who ha Mittled upon gov. ernment will get ft title thereto in good time, according to law. The customs of the land office during the past twenty years, the la execution of the laws, and the appropriation of public lands in wholesale quantities by railroad companies, the barons of Eu rope and cattle syndicates, without the slightest restige of equity, are to ceasn, and none too soon. A few years more and the party whose hypocritical cry has been for years past that the pub lio domain is the property of the poor, would not hare left them' 'an' acre. Contrast their mighty boiuts and their miserable achievements, we can ay that the change was necessary. On this subject the New York Times of December 23d says: "The feeling against Land Com mis eionnr Sparks atd ITw rulings is wiid to le intense in Dakota, apd thn pvo pie ore appealing to Senators and Rep rescntatives for help. Senator Sher man and Senator Logan have already wssurcd them that their complaints will confirmation, both forgetting that the bo considered in Commissioner Spark's Commissioner was confirmed lust Spring before the Senate adjourned. It is carious that, although the land ques- 3s eae concerning which the people of Dakota fool deeply and are easily ex cited, no one has ever heard of an ii dignation meeting held in that region 'for 'the purpoNe of denouncing the i thieves and perjurers who have fraud xiteaUy taken possession of so much 'land tin the territory. That these 'thieves are there numerous is estab lished by many olCcial reports sent to Congress by Mr. Sparks' Republican predecessor who was of the opinion that tbou t 75 per cent, of the entries in Dakota were fraudulent. What do the warthy settlers of Dakota think -of these scoundrels! Why don't they i ftssist'iho Government in driving the rascals' out," The'Oregonian issued from it office -on last Friday a mammoth and super) ditiotv which excelled by fur the best in tha newspaper line on the North Faeifia Coast to this time.

The iChronioln is the great Republican news paper of the Pacific coast and it says that Price is ft Republican. The choel here that intimated otherwise simply exhibited its usual ignorance And unusual ears. Hou. Daniel Manning, Secretary of the Treasury lias issued a call for 10,000,000.

Hugh O'Brien has been elected Mayor of Boston by a majority of 8,500. The associated press forgot to chronicle the, election, as it was a Dem ocralic victory, but somehow never miss the report of an election in some 500" town with a small Republican majority. Jay Gould knows his friends. The present City Council of Eugene is deserving of all praise from their constituents for the able manner in which the finances of Eugene have been managed. Today, on a three mill tax, there is a surplus of over 82000 in the city treasury, and the usual improvements have been made. If the Democratic member of the Ohio Legislature should combine with some of. the Republican members and vote to keep John Sherman at home it would prove a national bless ng. John is at least twenty years le hind the times. He would prove a valuable relic for a museum, would this fossil fraud of the reign of the old fraud, Hayes. Democrats should inform each other tn the matter of the forthcoming regis tration. No perxoti ho is not regis tered according to the new registra tinn law will be ailowed to vote at the June election. With a full register .1 vote this county is assured to the party of reform and pregtess, which is tlie Democratic party. Next Friday is St. Jackson's day, the C8th anniversary of the battle of New Orleans. The 8th of January is now widely celebrated, and the custom is rapidly extending among the Demo crats of the ea.t. It promotes party discipline, and is a righteous tribute to the memory of a great hero. Hon. J. K. Weatherford is promi nently mentioned as the Demo cratic candidate for Governor next Juno. Mr. Weatherford is a man of excellent ability and reputation, and no worthier candidate could lie nomi nated. He would make a strong pull lor me place. The editorial in a certain paper on the silver question, shows a perspicuity that re.ninds us of the poser asked by another witty ssge, "If so be as how, how come it so." Which side do you.champion?

It gives us pleasure to record the fact, and we only wish that the distinguished nnd venerated statesman may enter thn twentieth century with renewed health.
