J3- OREGON SENTINEL JACKSON V I LLRi Saturday, January 27, 1883. EVITOBUL 0Tt. A Cincinnati court has decided that to-say damn is not swearing. And jet there are people who profess to be lieve that Ohio is not becoming Demo cratic. The Legislatures of twenty fire states are now in session.. But then this is a great country and our national resources will no doubt, enable us to survive the strain. Last week the steamship Ci'mBra sank in -the German Ocean and over four hundred lives were lost. Three hundred of them were German emi grants from East Prussia bound for America. It is said that Henri "Watterson. of the "Courier-Journal" wants to be mayor of Louisville. He would no doubt make., a good lUaju.w'vv iv ,- would be,a great pity to run the risk of spoils E0 gd ft journalist for so smr X an oiiice. Xrnl.- C!- T - .IT 1 -r-l-l J.UB oan xrancisco journal ui vum- roerce estimates the denciency in the hop crop in the United States for 1882 at 3,750,0001b. According to this, hop raising will be a profitable industy the coming year. The de ficiency in the beer crop has not been estimated?. Terrible talcs of famine and distress come from Ireland.. There was only a partial crop last year and the potatoep on hand are all rotting. The gaunt wolf howls on many an humble hearth, and hands that are willing' to work hang helpless in the presence of starva tion. When the rotting of potatoes brings famine, something more than Tnere temporary aid is neccessary to reach the real evil. , Advices from all parts of the cast announce unusually cold weather. Trains are delayed, stuck is suffering severely, and many people have been frozen to death. At Chicago the mer cury fell to twenty, three degrees below zero, while in Minnesota it is reported as low as thirty degrees. The oldest inhabitants throughout tho country brush up their recollections and de clare they never saw any thing lik'eit. If "Portland's new paper" will pardon a suggestion from a country exchange in this end of the state, we beg leave to remark, that that "taffy" column might be profitably devoted to other purposes now. Of course it was well enough at first, and the flattering notices with which it is filled are, no doubt, still pleasing to that paper; but its readers are ready to concede it to be a first class pnper which would be still better, if itta'ked just a little less about itself. A tumble explosion occured at the Giant Powder Works, situated three or four miles from Berkely, California last Sunday. There were 125 men most of whom were Chinamen em ployed at the works at the time of the explosion. Tt is impossible from latest advices, to determine with certainty the number killed, but the bestestimate places it at between forty and fifty Chi namen and two or three white men. The shock of the explosion was dis tinctly felt at San Francisco. It is fashionable in some of the Eastern cities for young ladies to wear red cheeks, and many of them hold lumps of ice in their mouths to pro cure the proper degree of color. Of course, those naughty girls aro being pretty severely criticised, for thus in curring the risk of neuralgia and colds for so trifling a matter, but while we are finding so much fault with the girls, let us not forget the young men who are pouring a certain fiery liquid into their stomachs to procure a similar color on the ends of noses. Tiers-is a rhymester up at Astoria, who has been courting the Muses in interests of tho "Daily News." The result was. a wheezy, rickety jumble of Ttords, so arranged as to produce a sort of jingle. It was all about the "Daily News." and was a whole tub full of taffy for that Journal. The literary editor of the new daily would have done an act of simple justice to his readers, by consigning this pretended poem to theseclusion of his waste basket. The "News" is a good paper, but a lib eral absence of such effusions would add to its attractions. The Tilden faction .in New York, having caused the circulation of a re port that John Kelly was going to re tire from politics, that statesman steps into the ring and assures the Democra cy of New York and the country at large, that he has no such intentioas Ho says he is in good health and fine spirits, and never more enjoyed the honor or felt more deeply the responsi bility of his political leadership, than at this time. When John Kelly re tires from politics, he will retire to the silenco and seclusion of the tomb, and Uncle Sammy might as well make up Lis mind to this fact, first as last. Mexico is beginning to feel mere keenly thenecessity of stiralatlng" traie and of introducing new factors in the d velopment of her resources. With the increase of railroad facilities, comes a desire to see and be seen and this leads to the organization of expositions. An exposition is announced totakeplaco on the 12th. of April, at Toluca which, promises to be the most extensive affair of this kind yet undertaken in that country. American merchants and manufacturers are especially in vited to participate. Theinvitation will no doubt be accepted by many of our enterprising tradesmen. Dominie Hoffman J. P. of Dubuque Iowa deserves a gold medal if such common trumpery would be a proper tribute to the most modest roan of the as;e. He was a Justice of the Peace with a salary of $2000 per year, and in his official capacity was called on to perform a marriage ceremony for a couple of his neighbors. Though he finally succeeded, it was with so much . . . j . ,. n,i t, t r : , ,. v."' .l was convinced of his unfitness for the office and resigned at once. A man who can be frightened out of a $2000 office, by the blushes of a bride and the awkward fidgeting of a groom, has -no business fooling with politics. Colonnl Marshal T. Polk, the man who swindled the State of Tennessee out of nearly half a million dollars, is a nephew of James K. Polk. He is a man whose whole life has been attend ed with unusual advantages. He is a graduate of West Point, and' a gentle man of superior ability and fine edu cation. His social position has hereto fore been at the very top of the ladder, and he has always been an honored and trusted member of society whoso name was above the slightest hint of suspic ion. Yet notwithstanding all this, he has deliberately robbed the people who loved and trusted him, of a half million dollars of money, and has drawn the dark mantle of disgrace over his inno cent family. This is a case worthy the study of moralists. A recent adressoFProfessor Summer of Yale college, delivered before the Civil Service Reform Association of Rochester N. Y. contains a pointed answer to the argument that the pro posed reform is "undemocratic" He says: "They who allege this, proceed on the sentimental notion that alPmen are absolutely equal. Butthefact is, that all menareonly equal "before the law" our free government theory requires only that all men have the same oppor tunity; but their differences in natural capacity will inevitably result in their varying successes. Therefore, the gov ernment Has the right to protect itself and secure the best" talent possible for its civil service, by applying tests to which all may subject themselves, but which will in the long run sift out the most capable for appointment.'' The following is the number of Presidential electiors for 1884, accord ing to the new apportionmenf: Alabama 10 Missouri 16 Arkansas 7 California 8 Nebraska 5 Nevada 3 New Hampshire 4 N(w Jersey 9 New York 3G NorthCarolina.il Ohio 23 Oregon ...... 3 Pennsylvania.. 30 Rhode Island., 4 Colorado 3 Canneoticut 6 Delaware 3 Florida "... 4 Georgia 12 Illinois 22 Indiana 15 Iowa. 13 Kansas 9 Kentucky 13 Louisiana 8 Maine G Maryland 8 Massachusetts .. 1 4 Michigan 13 Minnesota .... 7 Mississippi .... 9 South Carolina 9 Tennessee 12 Texas 13 Vermont 4 Virginia 12 West Virginia.. 6 Wisconsin .11 Total. .411 We feel like plucking, a very small feather out of the western wing of the American Eigle, and placing it in the official cap of Secretary Folger. He says he does not approve of the Attorney General's recent Chinese "may pass" de cision. It appears that it is he, and not tho Secretary of State, who is charged with the preparation of rules and regulations to prevent the Celestials from jumping the track and anchoring amongst us. He owns that the task is beset with a host of most perplexing uimculues, and solicits suggestions fiom people of the Pacific Coast, as well as assistance from their Repre Sentatives. About the only rule which would block up this breach in the law, would be one requiring a detachment of regular soldiers to escort them, and to keep them corralled until they are safely out of the country. But sup pose, after all the rules that may be made by the Secretary have been ap plied toward tho solution of this new problem, a chinaman should step from the platform of the car upon the soil of any State in the Union, and openly refuse toreturnorto resumethejourney, where is the power in the whole sys stem of our law lo compel him to leave the country? Once here, is there anv law that will deny him the p'rivilege of remaining? Last year there were 2,410 deeds for real estate in MuTtnomah county entered for record. These deeds rep resented property of the value- of SG, 237,938. Most of this was Portland property. There has been, for the past year unnsual activity in tho real estate market of Portlandand sc far it shows no abatement. It keeps on steadily increasing in activity despite the gloomy predictions of a great many people. We are glad to see our metrop olis multiplying its great resources by the all important factors of individual enterorise and commercial activity. It iR growing very rapidly but the growth is firm and Healthy and is deeply rooted iu the the richest soil. The heights and depths of Portlands possibilities areyetfar in the future and, notwith stnding her present rater of progress, are likely to remain so for fully another generation. When the Atlantic express train on the Central Pacific railroad reached Montillo, a station 166 miles west of Odgon. last Monday, it was met by a band of robbers who covered the cngf neer and conductor with revolvers and compelled them to Bide track the train. Thev then broke into the- express car. but instead of walking off with the treasures, as is usual in such cases, were accorded so warm a reception by Wells Fargo & Co's. pulcky messenger that they were compelled to retire in dis order. Several shots were exchanged and Ross, the messenger, was slightly wounded in the side. Tho robbers renewed the attack upon the car but were finally driven off without captur ing any booty. If Wells Fargo &. Co. don't show their appreciation of the bravery of that messenger in some thing more substantial than mere words, they don't deserve the services of such men. The present Congress ends, by limi tation of law, on the 4th. of next March. Representative Gibson, of Louisiana, has introduced in the House a bill providing that the forty-eighth Congress shall assemble on the 5th of March. No explanation of the reasons for introducing the bill was offered but it is believed that it was done to pro vide for the possible failure of the present tariff bill. If the present Congress should effect no reform in the tariff, this bill is to be brought up o that the next Congress may meet at once, and thussecurs the credit of unu sual activity in the matter of tariff re form. There may be however, anothei and more powerful reason for this bill When the present Congress adjourns, there will be no President of the Senate and therefore, no acting Vice President of the United State) and no one to succeed to the office of President in the event of the death or inability of the present incumbent It is certainly not advisable to leave the country in this condition, and unless some such bill as the one proposed shall be passed, the President should call an extra sessioni The figures presented in Socretay Teller's report of the exports and im ports in our trade with the Hawaiian Islands is the very strongest argumant in favor of the abrogation of our pres ent treaty with those islands. Accord ing to this report, the value of our ex ports to the Islands during last year was 3,350,775 and the imports from them amounted to $7,646,294. If the sugar imported had been subject to duty, it would have yielded 3,405,406 to this government. Under the pres ent treaty, this money went into the pockets of the San Francisco sugar ring. The prims object of the treaty was to benefit the consumers of sugar. Instead of doing this, it has enriched a few individuals and increased the price of sugar. It has taken money out of the pockets of the poor and add ed to the bank account of the rich. Some of the Eastern journals,, with their accustomed stupidity when dis cussing Pacific coast matters arguo that if tho treaty is abrogated and the tax restored, it will only result in adding that much more to the present price, and will thereby aggravate instead of relieve the present difficulty. In this, they overlook tho fact that the present monopoly cannot be continued, ex cept upon the basis of very'large profits. If the tax weio restored this income would accoiding to the Secretary's re port, be reduced over three million dollars a year. Such a shrinkage in profits would disorganize the monopo lists to such an extent, as to render fair promise of reducing the sugar trade to its normal condition, and making it subject to tho laws of trade. But upon the very face of the question is shown sufficient reason to insure the abrogation of a dozen such treaties, if they affr-cted some of the Atlantic, in stead of the Pad fie StateR. The treaty was made primarily io secure cheap sugar to the Pacific Coast It has failed, to do this. Instead, it has in creased the price of sugar. Having failed of its purpose to the extreme ex tent of magnifying the evil it was in tended to mitigate, this treaty should abrogated. Children CRY TOR Pitcher's Cstosia.
