.' THE INDEPENDENT. Hillsboro, Friday. Reports of Our County School KUitcriiitcntlent We have published Superintend ent Gault's reports on public schools in this county to which vte invite the attention of our readers. We agree with Mr. Gault that the salary of our county school Supeii tendent should be targe enough enable hira to devote his entire time to visiting and perfecting our schools We will have to do this in time as most of our sister States have done and the sooner tho better for all concerned. But we are not disposed to coin cide with the Superintendent that a compulsory system of education would be impolitic in this State . It is both impolitic and radically wrong for any people to allow a class in its midst to grow up in utter ignorance of books, which is tho certain result of our present voluntary system of education. But thero are good arguments on both sides of this question, and we would bo happy to publish Mr. Gault's reasons for the faith that is in him. We intend to discuss the matter at length when we get time, aud will also publish valuable arti cles on the question from other sources. Free of Postage. Under the new postal law subscri bers in the county icill not have to pay postage on their coun'y paper, so send in your names for the INDEPEND ENT. explanatory. In a previous number we expatia ted on the subject of hog raising as a useful art, and we hope that our friends will not infer from what we sakl that we have' 'gone back"on our old antipathy to hog3. We claim that we were consistent. We only advocated the raising of a heller breed of hog3 thereby to mitigate the evil. Want it understood that we have n ' compromise with hogs a hogs nor the devil. We believe, as an inci dental remark, that the devils that entered the swine in Palestine have never left them. We were pointed in childhood to tho holes under hogs jaws as the place where the Old Fel low had gone in, and we believe it yet. We are led to make these miscella neous remarks on account of an old sow that has rooted up our door yard, smashed our fences, broken down our gate and be-deviled us generally for i fortnight. It is & good thing we have no shotgun or it might get busied. ftoivcll & Chesman. Rowell & Chesman have estab lished an offce at St. Louis where they will solicit advertising for pub lishers moc especially in the North west. Mr. Rowell, the well known partner of the firm of Geo. P. Row ell & Co., of New York, is known to publishers and advertisers all over tho Union, but to editors more es pecially as the editor and publisher of the American News taper Reporter. He is a man trusted by all. Mr. Chesman was formerly editor of the Reporter. St. Liouis is pavtiularly blessed by the advent of this new advertising agency in her midst and publishers will hail the event as a new era in newspaper prosperity. T..E "organs" are busy just now predicting that if the Democracy should get into power that they would pay the South for her slaves and other impossible claims, make null the three amendments to the constitution, etc. etc. The truth of the matter is that these "organs fear that the Demociucy would pur sue a wise and lawful course and win the confidence and support of the people.

"The Religious War " The Halletin in a column and a half article prophesies a religious war in Europe which he thinks will arise out of the conflict of opinion about the dogma of Papal infallibil ity. In our humble opinion there is not the least danger of a religious war on this account. The age for religious wars has passed. It is su perstition that makes such wars and the chains of superstition have been so weakened and broken that they have lost their power. Austria re vokes her covenant with Rome, Ger many laughs in in the face or the Pope aud all tnat the impotent Pio Nono can do is to issua his encyclic al letters, count his beads and mum ble hi3 paternosters. And thero is about as much danger of a relig ious war in Protestant England as there is of the English people re turning to the barbarism and cruel ties of the Plantagenets and Tudors when women were publicly whip ped in the streets of London and men and women were burned at the stake for opinion's sake. To Working Men. The Independent is owned by a la loring man and is the working man's friend, opiosed tit laziness, drunken ness, outlawry, vested and corporate rights when oppressive, and opjtosed to whatever tries to usurp the right's of the people. Subscribe for it. Will Somebody Explain. There is one thing that wo would like to have explained: Why is it that a certain class of men de nounce the Grangers for buying in the cheapest market and engaging in certain lines of business when they choose, and who at the same time tliiuk that it is all right for merchants and manufactue s to do the same thiDg ? One at a time now. We were shown a letter this week written by Mr. Wm. Wat3on of Recdville to the State Board of Im migration of thipStatc which is to be sent to Australia for publication. As an essay on the resources of ouiState and JW. T. we have not heard it surpassed. He represents Eastern Oregon and Washington as a grc. stock growing country in a -plai.i and truthful manner. Mr W.'s si o ofwiiting is very interesting. We hope for the good of this coast that all persons when writing about it will show the same regard for truth as in the case of Mr. Watson. Rev. Geo. Ciandle, we are glad to learn, can now walk a little and is regaining tho use of his limbs. It is to be devoutly hoped that he will regain his wonted health. We can not wi 11 afford to lose such useful m?n as Mr Chandler. His many friends in this State who respect his virtues, admire his talents and love him for the great sacrifices he has made here in early days for the good of man and the glory of God will be glad to learn of his convalescence. The Astoria says that the vessels at Portland now take their cargoes mostly from steamboats instead 1 1 loading from the warf, and that it will not be Ion? until our wheat will be all floated down the river in barg es to the vessels waiting at Astoria. The Republicans have carried the municipal elections in Salem and Al bany lately, 1 louseliolder. Si nd in your names, and if you are unable to pay in advance tee will send you the Independent and wait on you a year. To clnbs of five we will send the Independent for one year for $10 and for clubs of ten or more we will sevd the Independent one year for $20 00 with an extra number to the gciler up of the clsb. K. W. Y. Z. DISCOURSETH VARIOUS LY. Our part of the world has during the "ast ten days been visited with a, remarkable Matrimonial Tidal Wave. It began out north of us on the 29th ult. Bent WHson was the happy man and Mattie Crow the favored lady. The boys thought they would 'Shlveree" Him, so arming themselves after the manner of those engaged in that bus iness they rallied aud went forth. Uent said the best he could do for them was to give some apples. The boys thought app!es were rather cold to charivari on so they tried him the next night. This time they were no more successful than before. In the meantime the tidal wave was traveling south and by Thurs day afternoon it had got across Dai ry Creek. This time iill Enis did the with-my-worldy-goods-I-thee-en-dowing, and Mies Amanda Fouts was the well pleased recipient. This took place about 2 o'clock p. m. The same day the wave crossed the prai rie north of the Grove and Don Davis a young man of about 30, became a husband and father all in a few min utes and there was one loss widow in the land. But the wave although apparently stayed did not stop but Monday it managed to gel to the Grove. Miss Emma Blank had to succumb under its powerful shock; and Mr. Allen of Benton county no more mourns as a widower. When will it stop! K. W. Y. Z. is alarmed. (We fear it will catch K. W. Y. Z. next. Ed.) '' 1 K. W. Y. Z. has to travel the roads much lately and his soul is much vexed at their condition and a thought has come into his head. He will give it to the charitable publi. asking them not to ridicule it too so- tuis jjreumci expeci, 10 remain iieic the rest of their lives and expect that their childi en will do the same. If this is so, is it not time we were making some permanent roads?What is. the sense in this patch, patch, patching roads eternally and never getting them good or making them permanent? In Forest Grove Road District there are about four miles of road, and over 300 dajs' work to put on them. About a half mile above McLeod & Georges mill is a gravel bed. Let one-half the labor of this District be put to hauling gravel. Al lowing that two hands and a team can haul two cubic yards of gravel p r day, 150 dy's work would deliver 100 cu. yds on the ground which would be sufficient to cover 1)00 feet of road 9 feet wide and eight inches deep. By persisting in this ye-r af ter year, in about twenty years every part of our district would have good roads in the winter. k; w. y. z. 41.: l ? i MARBLED.
