This ouch-talked of subject is still undecided at the present writing and , oar predictions of last week in regard to a deadlock will probably come true. The session was to end last erening at 10 o'clock, midnight. Wednesday's ballot was as follows: Mitchell, 37, Shattuck, 30, Failing, 20, Herman, 2, Boise, 2. On Thursday Mitchell got 37, Shat tuck, 28, Herman, 21, rest scattering. The latest yesterday being the last day of th& session the Legisla ture continued aallotting for U. Senator and within half an -tie time set for adjournmen r'-; twiWicans votejUfor.Hon. J. L'-WMoUnc. M , m,iu "IT T Art tbe public schools, 3 aitenaeu private schools, and 22,- 366 did not attend any school. Of those enrolled, there was an average daily attendance of 27,347. Every man and woman in Oregon ought to put these figures away in their minds, and take them, down every day and look at them. They are large figures, .but are not hard to remember. They are not very pleasant to look at cer tainly: Especially should every moth , r and father look at thera. Is your child among the twenty two thousand who do not attend school at all, or the ten thousand who are absent every day? Many people think one day out now and then, can make no great difference. Aik your childs teacher and see what ne says about it There is nothing, which more disturbs the progress of a ihild in its studies than to be absent even if it is only for a day now and then. Not only does it put the child back and subject it to all the discour agements of being behind the class, but it needlessly increases the work of the teacher and hinders the entire class. Nearly one thirds ot those enrolled ab sent'each day, shows a slovenly lack of interest, if nothing worse, which does not speak very highly for the enter prise of our State. "Worse than this, is the fact that over one third of the school children of this State made no pretense of attending schooll Free schools in Oregon are not what they ought to.be, andaot what they will be within a few years, but such as they art they should be better patronized than is shown by these figures. There are, to be sure, some people so situated as to prevent their sending their children to school; but by far the great er number whose children do not at tend make little or- no effort to aflord them the advantages of the school room. There are some people so exceedingly sensitive and senseles?, that they refuse to send their children to a. teacher because hVdoes not con duct the school as they think it ought to be conducted. Such people are on a par with the man who stops his pa per because the editor does not agree with him, and are generally living ex amples of the necessity of public schools and of the fact that nomattendance is not wholly a difficulty of recent origin. The Rev. Henry "Ward Beecher has withdrawn from the membership of the New York and Brooklyn Associa tion of Congregational Churches. This, of course, ends his connection with Ply- moul been the head. This action is taken, he says, be muse he does not desire to lay on the Association the responsibili ties of his views. He restates his belief, which' differs from that of his brethren mainly in his discarding the doctrine of original sin, and denying the existence of hell as a place of future physical punishment Our respected friend or,the "Times" says he has winced ever since his country friends discovered that he had two opinions on the Court House ques tionone for Jacksonville one for the country. The sore is very sore but a half dollar applied as a poultice will heal the most distressing ailment our yonng friend could suffer from. "Wont seme one give it to him and stop his lamentations! It is said that a proposition is pen ding between Minister Sargent and Secretary Teller to trade places. It seems that Sargent does not like his present position, and that diplomatic life is especially distasteful to Mrs. Sargent Sargent may yet get into Arthurs Cabinet and thus realize his much delayed hope. IXABEM AK BOSSES. There are many good men in the Republican party who are dif posed to look upon, the present warfare against political bosses as partaking much of the nature of a fanatical fusilade against party leaders. They insist that bosses exist principally in the minds of newspaper editors, who are more or less touched with political -disaffection, and that these papers are fighting creatures of their own creation rather than any real evil. These men seem to think that they have effectu ally settled the whole question when they present the undeniableproposition that, party leaders, under our system or government, are not only desirable but are an indispensible necessity. No person pretends to deny this fact, but their application of it would silence the whole agitation now so actively and ffpnlivplr nnpratintr arainst the "rna- jjapd "b,oss" in politics. Conkhng, , and Arthur, aud Tilden, ndthe"Oiegonian's" host of Alitical I, wno manipulate the anage the machine are, ac- o this reasoning, political lead- ttle zealous sometimes in the I their own peculiar manner of leading, Bat leaders nevertheless. Such leading as is done by this class of po litical self seekers reminds one very forcibly, of the man-who carried a bun dle of oats on his back to assist him in lending his horse. If these ideas were to prevail it would set back the hands on the dial plate of political progression a great many years, But they possess notwithstanding some grains of wisdom and some suggestions of warning which it is well'to examine and observe. The principal difficulty with such men is, that they fail to make the distinction between political bosses, and party leaders. A political boss, may be de fined to be a man who makes politics a business because it secures him power and influence and position, or because he can make money out of it. He has no convictions, which he is not willing to surrender to secure an advantage. He has no opinion, which he is not ready to sell to the highest bidder. 1 His principles are anything to win. All his political performances have their origin in some scheme for his own advancement. He is your friend, so long as you can, and will serve him, a stranger to you when he can no long er use you, and your bitterest enemy when youoppose him or refuse todo his bidding. But the most distinguishing trait of the political boss, as well as the most dangerous and odious one, is, that he uses the political power which he possesses, no matter how much or how lttle it is, as the means with which ttr purchase political power. He rewards those who assist him with the political preferments at his command as pay for their assistance and punishes those who re fuse to further his designs- by using bis influence to deprive them of any political office which they may possess: If it is in his power to fill any federal office, he fills it,.uot with the man most fitted for the position, but with the man who has rendered him the great est assistance and in consideration of his help. Not only does he make his influence a matter of bargain and sale, but he insists upon Kis right to do it. It is not a mere question of rewarding his friends because they are Kis friends at the expense of the public service though this would be bad enough, but it is paying them for their services. A party leader, on the contrary, is a man who stands in the front of a po litical movement because he is best able to cope with the questions to be determined. He shapes his political conduct upon the model of some well denned conviction, and pursueshis pur poses without reference to hisindividu- prospects. Hjb energy is devoted to the advancement ot tneiJeomeTiiT1 operates from conviction, does this or that thing because, as he sees the matter, it is right that it should lie done, and not because it will secure his own advancement. He leads, by rea son of his superior ability, his strength of conviction, and his honesty of pur pose. Just as in the olden time a man was chief of a tribe because he was tbe tallest and strongest so tho true par ty leader holds his position by virtue of superior wibdora, the strength of his convictions, and the purity of his pur poses. The difference between the boss and the leader is well defined. One is al most the direct opposite of the other. It is not difficult to distinguish the patriot from the place hunter. There is, however, some danger of extremes in this anti-boss agitation. Because a man aspires to political advancement and employs his powers of persuasion and uses his abilities as a political or ganizer to secure it, it will not do to set him down as a boss. If he can succeed by reason of his superiority he ought to suaceed. In this country al most all positions are open to all men. It is only when men lose sight of the interest of tbe people and obtain, or endeavor to obtain, political position by selling the favors which that position will enable them to dis pense, that tbey became Reform And TkeFoIMiaiii. ClTll Serrlee : Heretofore there has been no fixed terra on service for most of the federal officers who hold their positioii under appointment. They have bba sub ject to removal at the pleasufre of the power which appointed: tlem, and generally at the convenience of the person who procured them the appoint ment. The work of the Civil Service reformers is beginning to show some practical results in the form of propo- sitions from many prominent politi cians to fix a term of service for which subordinate officers srill be appointed. While it is true that this is not what the reformers demand, it is much more than politicians, in the past, have been willing to concede. It is a compromise between service during good behavior, and service during the pleasure of the person who appoints. It is a com rrsmise toe, which should receive the careful consideration of the reformers. It must be agreed on all hands, that a fixed term of service, even for so short a tims as four years, would be siateJt anairsrJJir. xinT3sueehi seven years as the limit to begin with, with a prospective increase if it should be found advisable. Thus much then, is gained, and it would seem that those who have so strenuously insisted upon introducing a few business principles into the public offices, should accept this as probably all that can be ex pected at present. It would certainly be agreat gain and would open a better prospect for tho future. If ths tenure system shculd be found to produce more satisfactory results than the present system, as it undoubtedly would, that would lay the foundation for an increase in tho period of service and, under the influence of continued agitation, lead up to the adoption of a tenure during good behavior. In any event the service would be benefited for the tenure system once adopted would furnish security against any probable return to present methods. If this compromise should be accepted it? does not follow that the civel service reformers should cease their demands for more reform. They gain a great deal, both present and prospective, and so far from losing anything, the very fact of the concession exhibits their importace and confirms their power. By all means let us have a four years tenure if we cannot have set en a seven years tenure if we cannot have tenure during good belmvior. "The Jacksonville Sentinel s: Rebublican party prefers defeat witl out the boss and machine to succe-s with them. Richt. The Sentinel is talking about Pennsylvania, but the remark is just as true of Oregon." "Oregonian." Yes, that is just exactly right, and the -Republican party of this state stands in the same position ii does in Pennsylvania. For more than two months it has been holding its nose and watching the "Oregonian'' ring in its effort to blacken, and break down an upright and honorable man who iR tho leader of his party, the choice of the people, and the pride of his state. It has seen this clique of selfish, un scrupulous representatives of tbe worst element in American politics, stoop to depths that would bhame the devil in their efforts to satiate personal malice at the expense of private char acter; and thwart the will of the people by foisting themselves into po litical power. In anger and in shamn it has witnessed the partial success of this infamous scheme and it has seen that the darkness of utter defeat would afford more hope for the future than success purchased at the expeni-e of satiating the malice and .atibfying the greed of the Oregonian editorand his hungry followers. Posey county Indiana, was recently the scene of a most horrible and brutal murder. A man named Redman, beat his wife until she was insensible anil then whittled off theendsof her fingers.' He completed the atrocity by shooting her through the bead with a pistol, and then tried to persuade the neighbors that she had commited suicide. No body believed his story and he was arrested, placed in jail, and '.ha same night taken out and shot by a mob. Our neighbor has at last got off an original idea. He says the "galled jade winces" at being caught in a very dirty trick. "We really sympathise with our brother, as it is hard to imagine anything mean or dirty enough, to make him wince, and our advice to him is to try and be a man, to quit lying and double dealing with his sub scribers and let his galled witbers heal "P- Notwithstanding all the precaution of the Post Office Department, the number of letters sent to the Dead Letter Office is continually on the in crease. Last year the increase was 15 per cent over the year proceeding. Nearly 20000 letters containing money were opened at the Dead Letter Office last year, and fully three times as many more containing valuables of other kinds.
