editorial notes. .
The
drouth
'Polaris" truly says that a
in Oregon means a half crop
while a drouth in California means no
crop at all.
We are glad "Old Grant" is not in
this section at present. The additional
smote of his cigar would produce a
total eclipse.
Is legal parlance a "retainer" means
'a lawyer who squeezes all he can out
of his client and retains it. A retain
er, therefore, is not a fiction of law
but a solid fact.
The striking telegraphers in Port
land are receiving contributions- from
railroad operators and others who
hare not struck but who are in sym
pathy with them.
The "San Francisco Examiner" tries
to make it appear that all the wealth
of the country -is among the republi
cans. Can Tilden's bar'l be empty
rod' has Bill English impoverished
' himself by paying his campaign debts?
Henry Ward Beecher is to visit
Portland about the last of August and
deliver a course of lectures. If he
were here now, with the mercury over
m EtmdrecT he would1 recant his belief
regarding the non-existence of Hell.
Ex-Mayor Kalloch and the son who
so cowardly assassinated Charles De
Young in San Francisco have located
in Seattle. These two worthies evi
dently never heatd of the "rapid tran
sit" provided for evil doers by the
Seattle folks.
In Roseburg there is a roan enjoying
the name- of "Dry" who presides behind
the bar of a. saloon. Here- the "Dry'''
family are found on the outside of the
bars but how a man can always be
"dryr" when he has ample means of
lobulation- at hand, is a conundrum..
Abram S. Hewitt, Tilden's chief
manager in the attempted Oregon
Electoral steal, declares that he has no
hankering after the Presidency.
Neither did "Jack" hanker for his
supper and the people and Mr. Hewitt
are in complete accord on this subject.
The American riflemen have been
beaten in the international match at
" Wimbledon, England, by forty-five
points. The English seem to have a
slight advantage at long range or,
perhaps, see better in the fog than
Americans. However it is we are
licked and ought to stop blowing.
Col. Frizzel, forage master of the
O. fc C. R. R, Co. was in town on
Wednesday. He has not purchased a
ton of hay or a bushel of grain as he
says he cannot get farmers to say how
much they want and they refuse to
sell at prices offered. If forage can
not be had here at reason
able figures the Col. says it will be
shipped from the Umpqua just as soon
us the tunnel is open.
Criminals are becoming so defiant
and hardy and crime is exhibiting
itself in so many unnatural and mon
strous forms that the public cannot
afford to be specially romantic, nor
even scientific, in its treatment. In
plain truth, the public does not care
what the scientific treatment of crime
and criminals is. "St Louis Republi
can." The proper time for science and
sentiment to deal with criminals is
after they are hanged.
Our democratic brethren claim that
they only want a tariff for revenue.
"Revenue is just what the tariff is im
posed for and it is hard to perceive
how any party could reasonably want
any more or any less. Protection ir
only the incidental result but is the
means of increasing American wages
and American comforts and it is quito
safe to say; that democratic manufac
turers enjoy it equally with republi
cans and, the more protection the better
they are suited.
It seems that Gen. Crook's policy of
military supervision of the captured
Apaches is to have a fair trial. The
War Department oucht to have con
trol of all the Indians in the country.
Fear is the only motive of the red
man for respect and obedience and
those whose duty it is to subdue the
savage are best competent to hold him
in check afterwards. The guard house
and powder and ball for rebellions
conduct are better understood by
the savage mind than prayers and
moral lectures.
Prof. Condon of the State University
was in town for several days this week
looking round and gathering fossils for
his cabinet. He 'was taken up to
Dunlap's quarry on Jackson creek by
Mr. Dunlap and wan much surprised
at the great number of fossils found
in the sandstone. Mr. Condon hopes
to be able to brine his class out here
in April next to give them practical
lessons in geology in this prolific field.
While here he was presented with a
mammoth tooth belonging to some
extinct species by Mr. J. H. Hufftr.
res r it telegraphy.
The Northwest "News" has this to
say about telegraphers.
The advocates of a Government
postal -telegraph system are seizing
upon the occasion afforded by the strike
to argue in favor-of their plan. There
is, however, a ruling impression that
the National Government has enough
to do without managing ten or tweDty
thousand telegraph operators."
We believe the advocates of the
postal telegraph are right and that its
establishment will be forced on as as a
necessity sooner or later. To say that
the Government could not manage
twenty thousand telegraphers as easily
as it could a like number of clerks or
postmasters; by paying them a fair
equivalent for their skill, is to ack
nowledge its imbecility. There is no
trouble in Great Britian in managing
the army of telegraphers. ' They have
been employes of that Government for
nearly ten years. They discharge their
duty faithfully, there are no strikes
and the service is performed at a cost
to the public of two thirds less than
in the United States. The British
Government has just as much to do as
ours and the difference between us and
our trans-atlantic co.usins is: that they
perceived the danger of allowing any
corporation to control so important a
service while we are yet stupidly blind.
There is certainly far more danger in
permitting a corporation, always able
to buy up opposition, to control the
whole telegraphic business of the
country, measuring their tariffs and
the rates of compensation to fourteen
thousand hard worked employes only
by the dividends desired. It would
be as cogent an argument to say: that
because the Goulds and Vanderbilts
can manage the telegraphers bettor
than the Government could; the postal
service should also be- turned over to
them with power to fix their own rates
of postage. The telegrapher's strike
never could occur under a Government
system and wheneversuch a system is es
tablished the commercial world will
have a solid assurance that there will
never bo any interruptions- There is
a rising spirit of hostility to corporate
power, not confined to the "sand lot"
by any means, and an honest press
should hesitate before taking sides with
a corporation more rapacious and ex
acting then any other in the civilized
world.
A Talk with tb Fanners.
The forage master of the O. k C.
Railroad Co. has, so far, been unable
to purchase any hay or gra'n in this
valley at prices the company is willing
to cive nor has he yet received any
reasonable propositions to selL He
says the farmers appear afraid to hx
an asking price for fear they may
underrate the value of their- commodi
ties. This does not look like business
sense but it is the farmer's business
and they must abide the consequences.
It is our business to tell them that
there is an excellent crop in the TJ nip
qua and that baled hay is being de
livered at tho cars for 12.00 per ton,
barley sacked at 50 cents and oats
sacked at 45 cents per bushel. Now
the matter of transportation is nothing
to the company and, practically, the
Umpqua is as near to them as this
valley is and, perhaps, it will be well
for our people to consider whether it is
best to sell at a fair price or "get left"
There is probably a surplus of fhe
thousand tons of hay in Rogue river
valley, cut in anticipation of a good
market, and it does seem that it would
be wiser to sell at a fair price than to
hold it over for a better market. The
price offered by the company is 12.00
per ton, baled and delivered along the i
line. This will allow 510.00 after
baleng and the question is: whether
it is better to sell now or hold for
511.00 next year, the latter price being
interest added. Many of our people
have cut nearly their whole crop for
hay with the idea, maybe, that the
locomotive and the railroad bosses,
the Chinese and white laborers were
all to be fed on forage and; as we are
stating facts, they must look the
question of selling or holding square
in the face and find out which will be
most profitable.
That was a pungent bit of sarcasm;
when the striking telegraphers in
Portland solemnly met and with be
coming gravity informed Superintend
ent Lamb that, after a faithful service
of twenty-five years for the Western
Union, he received less than a book,
keepers salary for his arduous labor.
It was the more keen because it was so
true and showed that the rule
of the company was the most labor
for the least pay. But the time
scarred Sphinx, whose face for tour
thousand years has been washed with
the burning sand of Egypt, never
showed more ineffable cheek than those
boys did when they extended a cordial
invitation to Mr. Lamb to join in the
strike. There is pluck and genius
in those young fellows that will keep
them afloat if they never open a tele
graph key again.

A SURE CURE FOUND
AT LAST!
NO ONE NEED SUFFEIl
A sure Cure for Blind, Blccdimr, Itching
and Ulcerated Piles has been discovered
by Dr. William, fan Indian llemedy,'
called Dr. William's Indian Ointment. A
single box" has cured the worst chronic
Gibes of 2o or 30 years standing. No one
need suffer five minutes alter applying this
wonderful soothing medicine. Lotions in
struments and electuaries do more harm
than good. William's Ointment absorbs
the tumors, allays the intense itching,
(particularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as a poultice, gives- instant
relief, and is prepared only for Piles, itch
ing or the private parts, and for nothing
else.
Read what the non. J. 31. Cofflnbcrrj
of Cleveland f ys about Dr. William's In
dian Pile Ointment: I have used scores
of Pile Cuies, and it affouls me pleasure
to say that I have never found anything
which pave such immediate and perma
nent relief as Dr. William's Indian Oint
ment. For sale by all druggists or mailed on
receiptor price. $1.00.
