Business Principles in Public Allans- The Standard in a long article scouts the rematk presented some dayn ago .by The Orego'nian to the effect that can, didatcs named for positions in the state government should be "men o affairs, of known ability andprobity whose renutatiouior.facces?: irTprivatty' 1 business gives assurance of cati.ibiltty lor transaction of the business of the state;" and it evidently supposes it is speaking with great severity of Mr. Beektnau, whose name 13 presented fDr the governorship, when"" it declares that this was the lest and standard of fitness adopted by the convention which nominated him. It will not do, that paper thinks, to make'busines ca pacity one of the leading tests. This is a "sordid consideration." It is true the business of the state is large and lias uecome very complicated. It is! tiuo that receipts of the treasury dur ing the tVo years coierrd by tho Inst official reports were over eight hundred thousand dollars or to be exact, SSI 7, 550 01. But for management of theso large affairs it is not necessary to te qniro of officials any guardnleo in the way of reputation for ability in busi ness. On the contrary, it is a reproach' lo a 'man to claim for him that because during many years he lias safely, hon orably and Hticcesslully couduclud h$ own business, such fact is good assur ance that he will properly conduct the business of the 6late. The test of par tisanship is the sole measure of fitness. Every ihin! else is whistled down the wind, lleijeu the Standard winks at or defends every feature of the enor ratmsVitravagiinee of the last eight years, including the disgraceful pecula. lions in the state priuting. which its present candluate for that oflic,e, when J acting n expert, passed and approved. This lufty contempt of experience, integrity,. and efficiency in business is exactly the idrn 011 which ills affiirs of the state have lonir been conducted. Such Ins li-en the rule from the lime the offices, were '"orgnniZ'-d" a Gov. Grover filicilouhly phrased ii in or der to g-i ihe most that could be had out of them. Hut still we aie assured that the slate does not require luincs men. It u ants no "sordid" adminis tration. It his- long had an easy nud ,li'-eral" government, conducted main ly for the behoof of devotirers of reve nue. This is no extravagant statement. The increase of all official emolumontH, the augmented cost uf every depart ment ol stato government, and the creation "of a debt more than ten times greater than the constitutional limit of indebtedness, fully bear out the charge. And it is virtually acknowl edtied i.n the Democratic platform. For the last twelve years tho state has Lad much to do in its afriirs with Turveydrops in deportment and Skim poles in finance. This was an inflic tion under the administration that last preceded Gov. Grover's appearance at the head of niFiiri. It costs cons-idcra-ble money then. Besides small irreg ularities, there was money lost through downright stealing; but this last, throbgh sureties, has finally been re covered. Against Gov. "Woods the most that could be said was that he greatly neglected business, or did it very loosely, and brought in agiinst the state a bill of hundreds of dollars for carriage hire, ilsy appropriated several thousand dollars outright. This was their record. Fortunate, in" deed, would the stato ba had it tared so well in the hands of their successors. All tho losses from crooked transac tions under the Wqods administration are trifling in comparison wilh tho'se under Grover's. May, acting as gov ernor in the absence of Woods, took money by, simple theft, a definite and ascertained amount, the loss of which baa fallen on those who were so union tunale as lo be on bis bond. Grover, at the head of the board for the man., agement of school funds, loaned di rectly to himself, or through others in ways by which he received the benefit vastly larger suras on security not now worth' the accrued interest of the loans. LTis associates in the board aided in these transactions or gavo them their aBsont; and one of these, tho treasur er, is now a candidate tor re-election. Ilenue, though there ba so grand disdain of men whose reputation for probity and success in their own busi ness is really the highest assurance lhat can be had for integrity and ca pability tor management of the busi ness ot the otato," yet the opinion uiay ,"yet the opinion uiay a majority of the jfeos, beventure'd tbat pie will not hold them in so light ea- teem. It was not the correct thincr tov measure and certify the state printing at a rate, which nearly or, quite doubled its cost; nor was it sound bu?- ines3 to refuse to pay money out. of the treasury till a large additional J amount of interest had accumulated on it. No doubt from an official point of view it is business to multiply offi ces nnd double up salaries after the fashion which has been followed for several years; but it is not the style of business which wills for an administra tion popular commendation and sup port. Oreuron wants an , administra tion which will not devote Its energies to "organizing ihe offices," lending the- school fund to its own members on straw security, measuring up the stile printing in a way that perpetrates huge robbery, or favoring p irtisans at the expense of '.he public service. The rule stated by Mr. Beekman in his let ter ot acceptance is better: "I pledge myself, it chosen, to conduct the uU fairs of the state with the same care and scrupulous economy lhat would govern , my own private business." This will be accepted as preferable to a scornful disregard ol business princi-. pies in public affairs. Oregonisn. Homestead Bill. e Senator Mitchell,-on Maroh 20lh", -im troduced the following bill into tho United Stales Sonale, which was read twice and relerred to the Commiiloe on Public Linds: Be 11 enicted by the Senato and House of Representatives of the Uni ted States ot America in Congress as sembled, That from nnd after the pas sage of this acl tho even sections with in ihe limits of any grant of public lauds lo any ra'lroad company or to any military road company, or lo any Slate in aid ot any railroad or military road, phill be open to settlers under the hometead laws to tho extent of one hundred and sixty acres to each settieraud any person who has, under existing laws, taken a homestead on any even section within tho limits of any railroad or military road land grant, and who, by existing laws, shall have been restricted to eighty acres, shall have the right to extend his claim to either adjicent or nou-adjicent lands, under such regulations 39 tho Secretary of the Interior may prescribe, so as to include in all nor exceeding one hundred and sixty acres; and a full compliance wilh the provisions of the homestead law as lo the eighty acres, nud a compliance with the regulations aforesaid, shall entitle the settler to a patent for the whole amount. Sec. 2 That in all cases where a person has heretofore filed and settled upon a homet-tead under existing Taws and for auy cause shall have abandon ed the same to the United Slates; and in all cases where any person shall hereafter tile and settle upon 3 homo- J stead, and lor any cause shall abandon tho same lo the United States, tho fact of such film., selllement, and aban donment shall not Irave the effect ot depriving such person, if oljierwiso entitled, lo file and settle upon and obtain lil'e to another claim under the homestead laws. And all acts and parts ot acts inconsistent herewith aro hereby repealed. The Union Sentinel principal Dem ocratic paper ot Eastern Oregon, judi ciously thinks the ticket which its par ly is called on lo support "would have been materially strengthened by giv ing tjie old officers a lurlough tor a few years." It also siys: '"Tlie name ot A. LT. Brown of Eistern Oregon' as pompously announced in the nomina tion, will, in our opinion, be found to be the weakest man, whero he is best known, on the ticlrtt. It wo have a Urge Democratic majority in the stale in June we predict Brown's election by a small majority." The Sentinel seems aware ot the popular objection that the administration ot this office is costing loo much money. Tlie lucomu. Tax. Washington, April 20.

Mrs. Elizabeth Ttliou ha3 con fessed to having sinned against Heaven and her husband, and that Henry Ward Beecher is tho robber of her virtue, tho destroyer of hor home's happiness and a convictod perjurer. To tho worldly .minded this news will be n,o shock, for it was confidently eaid iu Now York at tho time of -tho great Tilton Beecher suit that nine men in every ten considered him an adul terer and falsifior. Beecher donic3 everything, as usual. a ' i A Lucky Escape. Another luckv escapo from burial alivo has occurr ed in Paris in tho case of a lawyor uametLLolone.- His son, summsur ed toieeatldeu)-Jbuni-Tiinvr as it was supposed, dead, kissed his brow and was surprised at it3 warmth. Some hours later ho re vived and said: "Ah, doctor, thoso few moments sleep have done mo a world of good." Tho French laws require that interment shall follow death within at most thirty-six hours, and thus it often happous that burial takes placo previous to putrefaction. It was against thia limited time imposed by the burial bill that an eminent prelato so powerfully protested iu the French Chamber, relating how he himself had been laid out for burial. Ou Tuesday last, says tho liod Blulr Sentinel, a special traiu hav ing on board Messrs. Edgar Mills, C. Green and J. tfoff, U. S. ltail road Commissioners, who came up to inspect a division of tho road which is ready for acceptance. They wero accompanied by Genor al Superintendent A. 2". Towno, Pi vision Superintendent Filmoro, Engineer Chas. Cudwalader and Major-General Lewis. Tho train went up as far as Reading and re turned tho samo day. Tho divis ion to bo accepted will roach a littlo above Cottonwood, in Shasta couti- ty- The Vancouver Independent says: A few day3 since a party of survey ors from Tacoma found a practica ble railroad route through the Cow litz or Packwood puss, but within throe days after their return tho Olympia Transcript filled- that 'practicable route" so full of dcop snows, rapid streams and deep can yons, that tho North Pacific rail road has "gono to the demuition bow-wows" again. Tacoma's dread is down on the buttered side onco more. In ancientday3 the pretfept was, "Know thyself." In raodorn timos, it has been supplanted by tho far more fashiouablo maxim, "Know thy noighbor and everything about him." In the long run,' says Channing, truth isaided by nothing so much as opposition. One lie makes many. .H . ' .
