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.
