OREGON SEflTIHEL. JACICSOHVILL.K 8ATURDAT, FeBIU'ARY 2S, 1884. Senator Sherman's resolutions to in quire into tfte murders in Virginia and in Mississippi was passed without debate. The Democrats concurred, and cams out with a finger on the lower lip mum's the word. They wire entirely right, keep dark and lie low Is the best hall It is understood that a ly&dieaU f American capitalists hare made the Canadian Government an offer to take the Canadian Pacific Railway and com plete it without further Government aid. The syndicate alio agrees to give up the monopoly privilege and pay a duty upon their material. Frightful floods are prevailing in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Kentucky. The waters in the Ohio are higher than last winter. Muoh suffering and loss of property has been entailed upen the people of Cincinnatti, Covington, New port, and other points. Belief from the country is urgently called for by local committees. New York "Sun" (Dem.): The fol lowing is not impossible by any means: For presidont, George F. Edmunds, of Burlington, Vt.; for vice president, Bobort T. Linooln, of Chicago, I1L Platform: Union of the East and West; cool Yankee Intellect combined with warm Hoosier Heart; Virtue from Lako Champlain, re-enforced by Vigor from Lake Michigan; the Be publican party not for a day, but for all time. Wo desire to call the attention of that patriotie and virtuous south which is now attempting to get posses sion of the federal government to the facts that one Vincent, who robbed the state treasury of Alabama, is etill at large, and that one Polk, who per. forrand a similar service by the state treasury of Tennessee, is also wearing tho clothes of a respected and honora ble citizen. The Senate has passed a bill direot iwj the secretary of the treasury to pay Mrs. Louisa Boddy of Oregon 85,00, in full settlement ef her claim against the Government for depredations com mitted and property taken and de stroyed by Modoc Indians, in Novem ber, 1872. The Boddy family sottled on public lands in Oregon, and were among the first victims of the Modoe war. The husband of the claimant, her two sons and son-in-law were mur derod, and their property takon. For this she put in a claim, which the Sen ate vowed to nllow. The Atlanta "Constitution" eays that the Bepublican party has never trade a campaign in the south, and that the south will remain solid as long as the Republican party is in power. That is the trouble la the south. There is no real issue, and the opposition to the Republican party is merely a tradities, strengthened by social prejudice. It there were a real issue betweon the two parties, the tariff, for instanoe, there woid bo an opportunity to overcome the old pre judice and induce those who think alike to act together. What 8tate grows the best wheat? is a question not easily answered, be cause there are different qualities of flour, and different kinds of grain are used to make different kinds of bread. We were lately told that Minneapolis millers discard our wheat as laoking in gluten, while their Minnesota wheat they say far exceeds ours in true broad making qualities. Our wheat is Boft and theirs is flinty and hard; ours is white and theirs is red; the dif- feronoe in the flour is very proceptible. Western Oregon wheat is muoh sought after and commands in England oven a higher prioe than is paid. . Thn following is a statement of the number of vonviots confined in the Oregon state penitentiary at Salem en the first day of February, 1884, to gether with the length of the term for which each man is sentenced and his nativity: Six months term, 1; ne year, 27; one year and a half, 4; two years, 36; three years, 32; four years, 18; five y'tars, 43; six yoars, 13; seven years, 14; eight years, 2; nine years, 2; ten ears, 16; twelve years, 4; fifteen years, 3; twenty years, 2; twenty-four years, 1; thirty years, 1; life, 19; total, 238.

NOT WtNTID. While the Eastern press is agitating the question of restricting immigration of the most shiftless class of foreigners who come to our shores with no means and with vile and viciouB habits, it would also be well for journals of the northwest to be careful how they hold out inducements to the same shiftless kind. Our population is continually being augmented, and we must expect to receive soma of the shiftless as well as the industrious classes who are seek ing te better their condition by moving farther west. The panpor immigrants who land at Castle Garden do no all stop in tho East, but a great many of them take the railroad line to the far west. These are very undesirable, as they are not producers, and are not sufficiently industrious to make homes for themselves. Wo have all the natural resources of a rich country, and by means of labor and economy any one can make a live lihood and in time acquire a compe tence. Bat there is a certain class of men who hold as their gospel that the world owes them a living, and to bo orthodox they never consider them sol res indebted to society for anything they receive. To such, the Pacific Northwest is not a desirable location. It will be better for them and for us that they do not come to Oregon. We have room only for workers, who ex pect by habits of industry to help themselves, and in so doing aid in de veloping the country. We have rich, unoccupied lands, for the agriculturist, and opportuaities for mechanics and artisans. To men of capital, no place offers better inducements than the Pa cific northwest. We have the re sources of an empire, and only need development to take the rank that nature has destined we should occupy. Among our population we number some of the sturdiest toilers, and we dosire no commingling with a worth less element. Those who dream that coming to Oregon insures them wealth without arduously working for it, should dis pel such silly not'ons. Fortunes are acquired here, as elsewhere, by toil and economy. There are no twenty-dollar pieces "lying oronud loose" which can be picked up without the least effort; money represents labor, and is only given in exchange for value received. We have loss poverty than in the crowded east, and more room for lab orers. In our early history, fortunos, in many instances, were accumulated quickly; but that era has passed, and now but few, if any, opportunities present themselves for the sudden ac quisition of wealth. Oar citizens must gain a competence by the pro ducts of the soil or by honeBt labor at the mechanic arts. To the farmer, mechanic And laborer, we offer good lands and littlo competition in the la lor market, and to these we give every encouragement to oome and make their homes with ns; bnt to the lazy or visions, we have no words ef wel come. We have a full supply of these; in fact, if it were not for the peniten tiaries and vigilantes, our country would be overcrowded. Honesty and industry are usually successful; and vice and laziness are punished. If the immigrant possesses the former, let him come; if the latter, he had bet ter stay at home or go elsewhere. "Times Mountaineer." Free Fostaee Tor Newspapers. Hon. A. M. Dockoryhas introduced a bill in congress granting the freedom of the mails to newspapers, to take ef fect Jnne 1st. The question has called forth a great deal of discussion from the press. It has its supporters and its opp'oneots. By the latter, in some instances, it is argued that it is a "poor newspaper which cannot afford to pay its postage." This view, of the matter is peculiarly simple, in our opinion. The amount of postage is so Bmall that any publisher can pay it. If his list is small the postage is also small. We think the press makes no concessions by asking Congress to plaoe newspapers on the free list. The franking privil ege is allowed on pound after pound of public documents, which are never read and which are of little benofit to the masses. Yet a newspaper, a nec essity, a disseminator of news whieh is of value to the people, a promoter of intelligence and prosperity is charged for each pound. It is not the amount involved but the principle which we oontend for. The "back pay" congress is responsible for this tax and we think it is among the things which should go. We hope our representa tive will lend his support to this bill and assist in its speedy passage. His oxcelloncy, the Governor, hos made proclamation that the amend ment to tho State constitution, grant ing women the right of suffrage, will be submitted to the legal voters of the State for ratification or rejection at the ceneral election, to be held on the 2d day of June, 1884. Talniusc on Ne'inpaper ilea. Rev. Talm.ge, the man of graceful (1) gesture hit the nail square on the head when he said: "One of the greatest trial of newspaper men is that they aro compelled to.Bee mora uf tho nliams of the world than any oth er profession. Through every news paper office, day after day, go all the weaknesses of the world; all the vani ties want to be puffed; all tho revenges that want to be reaped; all the mis takes that want to be corrected; all the dull speakers who want to be thought eloquent; all the meanness that wants to get its wares noticed gratis in the editorial columns in order to,, save the tax of the advertising columns; all the men who want to be set right who were never right; all the crack-brained philosophers with stories as long as their hair, and as gloomy as their finger nails in mourning because be reft of soap all the bores who coma to stay fire minutes but talk five hour. Through the editorial aqd reportorial rooms all the follies and shams of the world are seen day after day, and the temptation is te believe in neither God, man nor woman. It is no surprise te me that in (his profession there are skeptical men. I only wondtr that journalists beliave in anything." Two passages in Beecher's eulogy of Wendell Phillips delivered in the Ply mouth church, which will live along with the popular memory of Mr. Phill ip, and whieh deserve to livo, are here quoted: "He confronted the Bpirit of the nation and the spirit of the age an if he had been a decree of God, over riding all thingR." And, "Ho wao not a man that tempted himself upon an orchestra of a hundred instruments. The nation slept and God wanted a trumpet large, wide sounding, intense; and that was Mr. Phillips." 3?or AXnx-sXxcvl.
