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.

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.

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."

A SURE CURE FOUND
AT LAST!
WO ONE NEED SUFFER!
A sure Cure for Blind, Bleeding, Itching
and Ulcerated Piles has been discovered
by Dt. William, (an Indian Remedy,;
called Dr. William's Indian Ointment. A
single box has cured tho worst chronic
cases of 25 or SO years standing. No ono
need suffer five minutes after applying thi3
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 of the private ports, and for nothing
else.
Read what the Hon. J. M. Cofllnberry
of Cleveland t ys about Dr. William's In-
dianPile Ointment: I have used scores
of Pile Cures, and it affords me pleasure
to say that I have never found anything
