The question, of tho right of the gieopli of state to pronibit'ile tale of liquor within iti borders, has'teen vtakra to tlie Snyerrae court of th United States, by the Anti Preaibi ttieniiU of Gtergia, vA', it causi tuuch e)itaat initba ttt. Tha New York "Sun" omitted its ,cuttomary batch of slime at Ex-Pres'-dent Hayes when the latter sent a note .of sympathy to lira. Hendricks. But the Democratic committee in charge t the funeral obsequies fare Mr. Hayes the post of honor in the cere monies, showing that respeetable Dem. -ocrats thus chided the "Sun." A newspaper dvertisemoat is a 'never tiring worker in the interest of its employer. When the bill diitriba tor has disappeared from the streets and the bills are .trampled into pulp, tho advertisement is performing its eilent mission in tho family circles. It appeals to a constituency thres or four times larger than tks actual sale of tho paper, for there are few news paper that do not pass from hand to band among three or four persons with -eyery issue. Jay Gould, who has been active in Wall street, New York, announces that with the close of the present year hi will retire from the exciting field of speoulation. H thinks be has earned a rest. He states that he will retain his interest in tho three com panics which he holds in the highest testoem the Missouri Faeifie and tho Manhattan Bailroad Companies and tho Western TJaie Telegraph Com pany and will hereafter devoto his whole attention to these properties. In Senate caucus Assembled the Hepublicans have determined to ratify ail nominations promptly whero noth ing but political reasoas exist; but to give persons who were removed from offices coating under thegcivil ssrviee rules n opportunity to defend thens aelves if they so desire. It the Presi deat is tight ia declaring his inten tions of faithfully executing this 'law the Senate is eertaimly right in seeing that ho dots so. The proper way to test any law is to thoroughly execute it. The "Oregonian" believes the Reg istry law unconstitutional, on account of the constitution accurately deGning who shall be allowed to vote. If it should prove to be so it would be a goodthing as it is not needed unless it is in the city of Portland. It will cost La.no county $2,000, at the tvory lowest .and will not baaefit her a dollar nor in any way hinder fraud, for we do not beliero that there are ten citi zens in the county who weuld have any desire to vote illegally nor a sin gle one who would attempt it. ".Reg ister. The following is a specimen of thi reporter 's Sage nuity in manufacturing a sensational and untruthful itesa .about highwaymen on Siskiyou Moun tain, for the Portland Sunday "iter curyr" The other day he wanted to make a raiseand so went out on a highway to stop a stage and "hold up" the fassengers. He was fortunate in finding stages,1 for .he had Jao more than got into position behind a rock, then two well loaded coaches came rolling along. With a ?sharp click, click, and cry of "haltl and get down offen that ,boxl" the vehicle stopped, the driver got down Jon the ground and the passengers began to alight like a drove of frightened sheep. In a minute the road aeenlhad 'em all up in a line, and they obeyed first -faTe'untirh9-to"tdllreBrtJ"etapty their pockets, when there was a look of as tonishment on the faces of all, aad no effort made to disgorge. Then the agent began to take matters into his own hands and investigate their pock ets, when to his disgust he found he had ran sp against a brace of Nebras ka editors, who hadn't aien a dollar for six months. They all had round trip tickets, but outside of that, their valuables were as thin as festival soup One fellow had an imitation pair' of shears hanging from an oroide watch chain, another had an unreceipted grocery bill, while others had receipts for making paste that wouldn't sour. To say that road agent was mad, won't hlf express it. He just filled the air -with sulphur, and next time he tackles a Stage he will read the papers and get losted on who is traveling over the lino.. That grand old humorist who is now dead but not forgotten, Josh Billings, once truly said: "Frogs have two nature ground and water. I never knew a frog to hurt anyone. They are as free from sin as an oyster, and will bo her no- man who pays h honest debts and pars for his county pairer." l'ostal Tcieg rap The friends of a postal telegraph for the "United Stales are becoming more numerous. A dispatch to the Port land "News".ays that tko.New York "Mail and Express" published a strong endorsement by Cyrus W. Field of Edmund'e bill for the government to control the telegraph. He says: ''In my opinion tha time has cenie whin the govern-meat should purchase the telegraph lints of the country. A law should be passed by Con gress making all tha purchases, so every company will be bound to the sinie principle. Each telegraph com pany should, select an arbitrator, and the government another. If tbey disagree, then they should choose a third, who will be a man thoroughly experienced and expert at the buti new. 1 TSi afKtratois should hav power to examine the reports and.," ,. counts.' and arrive a', the actual net pfo&tv ' iSeftat'owEdmvfiWbasjntrodiceda blllr into the present congress to prv vide for thet.lishme&t of a -postal telegraph. Such a thing is ealy a question of the future, and the con gress now in session can gain a point to its credit by not leaving the work for some future congress. The ten dency of the age in which wo now lire is to accelerate everything, and we keep running faster away from the old ideas and usages. The telegraph is a public carrier of messages, the sameia the mail carrier, rad it sbeald be made a part, or auxiliary, of the same. The progress and ncsds of the age demand it. A Valuable' Suggestion. Would it not be about the proper thing for Congress to pass a law con demning all tramps and vagrants to service in the United States arm; for a period of three yearsl Wo, says the "Albany Bulletin," think it would It would bo better for the tramps, and relievo tne countrj or a terrible nuisance. Several states mako'tranip iag a crime and affix various penalties thereto. But a sweeping law of Con gress sending all tramps into the army, would rid the country of these wretched vagabonds and roliere soci cty of their petty thefts and worth less presence. The morale of the army might not approximate to the highest standard with these fellows for companions-in arms, but the difficulty could be overcome by forming a tramp regiment, or division, and when there was any serious fighting to be done shove them to tho front and make thsm fight or die. This kind of usage would make men of them, a reformatory school s it were, sad cither kill or cure trampisg dit (ae. By all means let congress pass such a law and rid the country of these- graceless scamps. John 0. Welsh, who came down from Delta yesterday, says tho Redd ing "Freo PresV of a late date, in forms ub that tunnel 8 is completed, and thst the Burleic.li drills have been moved to tunnel 9, that the road is graded almr-st to Portugese flat, with the exception of one cut, which it will take a week longer to finish. Track laying is accomplished at tho rate of half a milo a day, aad reach Slate creek on tha 12th. John says that the grade has been raised by sur veyer Hood, and that the road will run a mile eastof the present survey, and east of Simon's. The wagon rtads are in a horrible condition, It is re ported that the railroad company will soon establish a temporary termirus at Slate creek, which will enable the trains to run about 8 miles above Del ta, thereby saving much hard wn k in teaming and staging over a bad por tion of wagon road during the winter season. The Fepular Approval. Of the now tamous Syrup of Figs as the most -efficacious- and--agreeable-preparation ever offered to the world as a cure for Habitua Constipation, Billiousness, Indigestion and kindred ills, has been won by the wise plan pursued by the California Fig Syrup Company. Knowing that any "remedy truly beneficial in its effects on the system, nnd at the same time "pleasant to tha taste, will meet with a rapid sale, the Company, through its agents Merritt & Robinson gives away a sample bottle free of charge. Try it and judge for yourself. Large bottle fifty cents or one dollar.
