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.

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.''

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.
