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

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.

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.
