TfffE EUGENE CITY GUARD. BATURDAY SFl'TEMllElt 3, ml. Tlie Merry War. . Brigadier Qcnernl David 8. Stsulcy, U. S. A., commanding tlio Department of Texan, moved Lis heavy artillery (o tho front ou tbe 18th of August, uud played thura ut ter thin tunc: "I will not say anything to you sbont Fairchild stcalinK a landcau mid being cnnidit mid marie to dvo it up, us you are fitmilinr villi that, but I will lull you that while (Imieral Tuttle was in St. Louis he and his reciinntit rohbod Dr, McDowell's college of all itM livers, lights and hearts. Huch uion as these don't represent nil the Grand Army of the ltiuilliu. At Wast they don't represent me in their insults to the President of the United Slates and Com manricr-iii-Cliicf of the Army" l'rauk l'nli'V, Rmiiibliwui, concludes an editorial in the Argonaut on nationul noli ticH, an follows: Perhaps it will not tie amiss to remind Mr. John Sherman, Mr. Rliiinc, Mr. Roscoe Coukling, of Now York, Mr. Edmunds of Vcrrro it, tbe Republican leaders, editors, and party ninnaL'crs of the EiiHt, that it him Ixien demonstrated by tliu election of Mr. Cleveland that they me not iiiriispeiisiblM to Me weltaro of the country; Hint tlm survi val, progress and prosperity of the Nation during Mr. Cleveland' one term of admin- istrrtiou, may embolden tliu country to the experiment (it entrusting bim with niiotlier four years of administration." Anil yet we have Oregon cranks who can refer to him only as a lecherous nonentity, who didn't fight the lute civil wur, and ax a disgrace to the high position he holds. Among conservative voters, and especially among business men, Cleveland is making friends every day ho lives. Sunday Welcome. The ablest man whom Cleveland took into the cabinet, .Secretary Manning, is in private life, mid is reported to be estranged from the president. At nil events the recent vtiin con spiracy to pluce the president's secretary l.a tuout in the control of tho Albany Anjm mid to expel Manning inspires tlio suspicion that Manning is no longer tin trusted friend and manager of the Cleveland boom for reiiomi tiatiou, Orrqtmfon, Tho above, which first appeared in the New Yitrk Sun, was proiioinwd "a lie made out of whole cloth" by the Albany Aniim, whose editor is a sou of l)unic 1 Maiming, and Dan iel Lament declared it an "umpinlitlcd false hood." At tlio time this story was publish ed, which declared that Ijunnnt and Manning were bitter enemies, Luinont had been visit ing with the latter gentleman for two weeks. This is a sample misrepresentation of the myriads that are kowii broadcast ly such re publican papers as the Orttjmiiim. In describing new Yarietics of wheat ob tained in the United Kingdom from crossing, tho Loudon correspondent of liiadstreet's writes under date August 8 th, that ''a splen did Hew soring wheat has been obtained by orossing the English April wheat about the only wheat which can safuly be sown after February in this country with the Ameri can golden grain, a harily and prolific but coarse wheat. The result of this cross is a very early, handsome wheat, with much bigger heads tbau April wheat has, and of finer quality than golden grain. There is every reason to believe that this new spring wheat will prove a very valuable acquisition to farmers in all oountries vShoru spring wheats are grown. The operation of cross lug wheat is a delicate one, great care being necessary to do it at the right time," On tho question of a Federal surplus mid the proposition to distribute it amongst the States in preference to reducing the use less taxation which produces it, listen to the voice of Daniel Webster, who said:. The income from customs must be re dueed, It must bo reduced even at the haz ard of injury to somo branches of inanufuct tiring industry; because this, in my opinion, would be a less evil than that extraordinary and (longerons state of things, in which the United Slates should be found laying and collecting taxes, for the purpose of' distribu ting them, when collected, among the States of the Union. Aftur all, what a ludicrous fellow Foraker, of Ohio, isl A few weeks ago he was fuming and cursing ami helping Fairchild to palsy the president because he had committed the aw ful blunder of ordering the return of the captured confederate baltle-tlagi.

The triiiisac tlon was investigated by Oeueral ltlack mid found to bo a fraud. Holh men are arrested, have confessed their crime and will go to the penitentiary. Captain Yale was one of the men who proposed to resent the President' preseuce at St, Umis, but now he has other fish to fry. Who went into the war anyway? Missouri pave Mr. Lincoln H.O'.'S votes, but sent 85,5:1(1 solditrs into the Union Army. Iowa gave Lincoln 70,1011 votes and sent" to war under the Stars ami Stripes fiS.CSil men.
