Mr. IMnina has declared in the jnokt
positive terms to heveral men in high
position that he would not be a presi
dential candidate. Blaine would like
to lie Jiccretary of state again, but it
i not Relieved that he has set his
heart upon it.

The United States treasury opened
the new year with an exhibit showing
a debt reduction during 1883 of 110,
000,000;,and "this in spite of the tax
legislation of the last congress which,
in the first bix month's operation of
the new law, cut down the revenues
28,000,000.

The democratic papers seem to be
terribly out of joint because President
Arthur did the honors of host on New
Year's day in a new suit ot clothes.
In fact, tht opposition press is as much
shocked by the President's appearance
in elegant broadcloth as if he h-.d
dawned upon his callers with no more
clothes on at all than Eve had when
she played audience to the boa con
strictor, nor than Mr?. Venus of Jlilo
wore when she sat for her photo.
When General Sherman wus down
in Texas, some years ago, he was asked
by a r.ewspapcr reporter, how he liked
the countn? Being much out of hum
oriust then, ho replied. "Wei', if I
owned hell and Texas, "I'd rent Texas
out and live in hell." That made the
inhabitants verv mad, of course, but
the editor of a country paper got eten
on the general. He copied Sherman s
offensive remarks and added: "Well,
damn a man, anyhow, who won't stick
up for his own country."
The democrats want possession of
the national government to inaugurate
I reforms. They havo had New York
I City under their tender care for forty
years. And the figures in Harper's
I "Weekly of January 12, 1884, prove
IthatitLas been the worst governed,
land best robbed city of the world for
I all those years Republican legisla
tures have done their best to stay the
(lands of the followeis of Tweed and
Filden, but it has boon of no avail for
long. Do lambs cry for woU-cs? Then
Im'11 the people long for democratic
rub'.

lit is said that Senator Sherman feels
rely the disappointment resulting
km his inability to take the Presi-
icy of the Northern Pacific. His
IbitionR now are all towards great fi
lial enterprises; and caring nothing

not but regard the loss of an nppor

KNAVE OK FOOL?
A msn named Wm. Ruble, a parly
to the famous Kflly-Ruhle mining
uit, has been permitted the usi-of the
"Northwest News," in which to abu9e
the Judge and some of the officers of
the Couit of I his district. This person,
a somen hat unsavory importation
from Polk county, whfre he was con
stantly in litigation, has cost this
county more than the value of his
worthless carcass, and has the ef
frontery to attack tho press here and
bedaub his slime, on a number of
worthy citizens. He is a professor of
Christ, just such an one as brings
scoffing on religion, and his time seems
equally divided between hypocritical
praying and wholesale and malicious
lying and it is a nice, question whether
he be greater knave or fool. Ruble
has a double in this dirty business
who writes ostensibly from Salrm
over the name of "Newton." Who i
it? "Nenten knows enough law to
be sonio one else, but he is too plain y
Ruble himself, and tho one or.
the two, double or singK,
Newton Ruble ov Ruble Newton play
into each others hands, the one accus
ing Hie sentinel me oilier ine
"Times" of lying about the Coyote
'.reek affair and being incapable of pub
lishing truth. The main oliject of
attack in the fulse stufl tent to the
"News" is exiludge Hanna, than
whom there has been no more impar
tial or honorable Judge in the State,
and tho trash written by a man such
as we havo partially sketched will
neither injure the, Judge or benefit the
writer. Mr. Kelly, who stands high
here as nn honorable citizen and Mr.
Jarres Biidscy who was duly author-
zed by the Court to enforce its decree
are also too far above this unclean
scribbler to need defense. When
"Ruble Newton says a lot of women
and chi'dren surrendered to Birdsye
and his posse he expects to create a
laugh, but it.so happens thct Newton
Ruble's "women and children" were
big strapping men with breeches on
their less and Winchester rifles in
their hands, skulking behind brush
piles and in ditches to earn tho eight
dolhrs per day promised them by
liublo for resisting the lawful authori
ty of the Circuit C urt. It so happens
that seventeen of the law breakers in
eluding Ruble were tried b Justice
lluller and thiitcen held to answer for
riot and nary one wore petticoats
Ruble pretends that he ordered Bird
sye off the claim hecause tho proceed
ings had been saved bv-f-"""-f,J
J t ' . (Utiles Ananias
and he knows it5T The a;.peal was rot
perfected nor thot proceedings stayid,
and Rublo ought Jto know just when
they were, for ssvfkral days after his
men weakened and gave up the prop
erty and the record stands for itself.
So far from distorting any facts in this
shameful affair tli3 Sentinel publish
ed only the statements of worthy eye
witnesses without giving them color or
bias and has only been too lenient with
a man who deserves the severest pun
ishment for inducing, or forcing, or
biibing others to break tho law. Hav
ing aiso broken it himself, at a cost of
thousands of dollars to tax payers of
Jackson county, he makes it a subject
of jest and merriment. Ruble brags
that he ordered the' officer of the Court
to git! gitl git and that is just what the
people of this county should say to
Ruble cmphisized with a big G so
he would not misunderstand. Th's is
one of tho characters described by
Shakespear who "wear the livery of
Heaven to servo the devil in" and in
Ruble's case it is so well worn and
threadbare that it is but a thin dis
guise. Twelfth Annual Couioutluu.
The twelfth annual convention of
the Oregon State Woman Suffrage
Association will lv held in Portland
nn Tuesday and WeJnesday, Februar'
12th and 13th. ISSt, at Turn Hall. "
Woman Suffrage Association, equal
rights clubs, and societies in sympathy
with the suffrage movement, of what
ever name or order, are earnestly re
quested to send delegates.
The usual reduction of forty per
cent, in fares will be made to visiting
delegates by the various transporta
tion companies, and entertainment
will be provided for all who come
from without the city.
Let the ftiends of equal suffrage
come promptly forward and make this
convention a memorable one.
H. A. Lougiiaky, President.
Makv E. Combs, Secretary.
The "National Republican" neatly
sums the Democratic position on tho
tariff revision question as follows.
"The largest possible amount of im
portation of foreign goods consistent
with the revenue absolutely necessary,
and the least jtossible consumption in
America of anything American, ex
cept tha cereals and raw cotton."
Several communications are crowd
ed out this week received too late.
I
Orecon, with her 95,274 squaro
miles and CO,000,OCO acrrs of fanning
land, lit r fertile sO.l pikI salubrious
climate, the objective po'iit in the
Northwest, bus become the theater of
many vast and stupendous enterprises
during the past five years. Fur her,
1883 was the year of years. The pre
ceding twelve months were disappoint
ing in many respects, but with 1883
came times of unexampled prosperity
amply atoning for the failures of the
past. But if the season had been dry
and unproductive, one event marked
it, in tho estimation of Orcgonians, as
the turning point toward assuredf pros
perity for all time to come. This was
the completion of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, on the 8th day of Septem
ber. On the 11th of that month the
event was celebrated at Portland by a
grand parade antl review. Whether
the great Northwest will be benefited
to the extent dreamed of by its people,
through the opening of direct railroad
communication with rfie East, remains
to be seen, but that its immediate eH
feet was to give business of all kind
an enormous impetus cannot be denied.
There was no revival or revolution in
trade. The whole country seemed at
one leap to spring ten years ahead.
Real estate in city and country ad
vanced from 100 to 500 per cent., an
inflation to be dreaded in alnust any
land of tho world except this, where
the natural resources are inexhaustible.
Upon Portland, tha
MOST METROPOLITAN SMALL OI7Y
Of the world, the influence of this for
ward impulse was direct. The di
visions of the Northern Pacific stretch
ing over the State in all directions
exerted as direct an influence upon
nearly every section as prevading a--that
which still agitates Portland
Tho volume of business increased to
astounding proportions for a city of
only 35,000 inhabitants, the wholesale
trade alone of last year amounting to
nearly 50,000,000. It manufactured
during the same time about 11,000,
000 worth of articles, including him
ber, cars, cigarn, clothing, ironwork,
saddlery and harness, cordage-, eh ctri
cal goods, flour, fruit canning, furni
ture, fur.", l;quor8 and other good-.
Her needs of the past made the place
a small manufacturing center, and as
in the future Portland must compete
for the Oregon trade with Chicago
and New York, her manufacturing
interests must necessarily iuciease.

A SURE CURE FOUND
AT LAST!
NO OSE NI2I2D SUFFER!
A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itching
and Ulcerated Piles has been di -covered
by Dr. Wil-iam, (an Indian lleinedy,'
called Dr. William's Indian Ointment. A
single box has cured the worst chronic
cises of 2Ti or 30 years standing. No one
need sufTer five minutes after 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,
(pr-rticularly at night after getting warm
in bed,) acts as a poultice, gives instant
relief, and is prepared only for Piles, itching-
of the private parts, and for nothing
else.
