The Present Question.
Tweaty five years ago'fwas wat?d a
war in this country between slavery
and freedom, a sectional fight in which
the north waBvictorious. To day is
being waged a war that effects the in
terests of as may as did the war of
18GL Theone wasj'whh armed men
meeting inthe ibock'of deadly conSict,
the other'is thus far a conflict ef ideas
only. ,
Ey yj'goneratioa there isjturmoil
nnd' readjustment; every generation
there is conflict, agitation, overturning
and a stirring of stagcant pools. Tbe
present question is' not one that came
into existence in '8G4 nor 76: it his
been coming for mora than twenty
years and has but lately reached the
surface. It seems as though the agita
tion had suddenly assumed wonderful
proportions, but the causes! hat led to
tbe present manifesto of labor have
been trickling in innumerable tiny
rivulets for years till now they consti
tute a great torrent? that sweepu resist
less through the country, beyond the
hi;heit water mark of former labor
agitation.
It is notorious that people combine,
as they hate a right to enmbinp, and it
is evident they couihinn because there
is necessity to combine. But little
would be left of, modern civilization
were the right to combine individual
resources, of all kinds, withdrawn.
This applies to combinations of capital
in the first place, and to combinations
of labor i o the second because without
the combination of capital the combi
nation of labor would be impossible.
Capital combines labor by bringing
many laborers together, and we regard
it flying into the face of forces as pow
e.'ful as gravitation to attempt toes
cape the inevitable consequence ot the
cauta of labor organization, and a
thing, if attempted, that could only re
sult in destroying all corporate exis
tence. It is the duty of the law to
rbcognize the forces that urderlie the
activity of modern civilization, and to
make itself equal to them by recogrtiz
ing corporate rights as separate and
distinct from individcal rights, and to
recognizH vhat already exists beyond
any power of radical control, certain
unites of political and social life that,
however they may conflict with our
pait conception',; threaten the exist
ence of tho present and future good
order of seciuty.
Men who have given the subject
much thought say that what we see is
bnt the result of over production.
Certain it is that much ef this present
labor agitation is competition reduced
to its lowest terms, and is tn thedirec
lion of the manifest tendency of man
kind, certain, soon er late, to become
normal to its heal'hy existence. It is
tbe province of the law, it is tbe duty
of the law, to recognize the existing
potent fact and delimit organized
humanity in its relations te individual
hamanity, and to society as a whole.
It is natural to the individual, and to
the corporation as well, to fill all the
space it can, with tbe sarae disregard
of the rights of the weak, and with the
same greed take whatever it can. The
law mubt bet a bound of safety that
w ill come as near justice tu all as
human experinco can.
Tbe proceedings of tbe Democratic
State Convention as published in the
"World," through a typographical error,
makes Tony Noltner say in sneaking
of the nomination for State Printer,
that "nominations for State Prisos
were next in order. Charhb Nickell
of Jacksonville recived 95 votes on the
first ballot, being within one vote of
the required number, and on motion
he was nominated by acclamation."
We don't know what Charlie hai
ever done to merit such punishment,
but likely tbe convention and the edi
tor of the "Werld," who is regarded
as authority on such matters, do.
However, Baker, as a fellow printer,
will see that Charlie's large business
interests in Jacksonville will keep
hiru there for the next four years.

Senator Fair is working constantly
to secure the reopening of the Hint at
Carson City. The whole matter rests
with the Secretary of the Treasury,
and owing to his illness hut little prog
ress has been made of late. Mr. Fair
has had several interviews with Assis
tant Secretary Fairchild on the sub
ject, but that official does not wish to
net in the matter in the absence of his
chief.
JACKSON VILlJlv OREGON,
Matrimonial Misfits.
When a saan and woman agree- ts
marry it is mainly their own business,
though tbe law and society do have
come interest in the transaction. The
fact that the man may at the time' of
his marriage be president of the Uni
ted States naturally makes the affair
-'-'great eenf a sort of' "affair of
state," as it ,were, and ever) body will
talking about it, and great festivities
and great ceremonies will be had in
honor of the occasion. Ot caarce it
it-ill not be whispered abouj; so- it will
get to tho ear of the president that for
a particular reason this marriage is
criticised, and perhaps it will sot be
criticised very openly, since- it is chiefly
the business ef the parties thentelves;
but it is a. uniform nevertheless that
will offend the sensibilities of many
persons, becausa of the great disparity
in the ages of the partis.- Mr. Cleve
land is 50 years of age. To the blase
btchelcr ot fifty a woman of twenty
two is but a girl, a child; and each o
union is not a "natcn" at all, but a
disparate alliance wholly remote from
the trus instincts and true purposes
of a true marriage. Alliances of this
kind have always been regarded as al
most indecent; litcri'.uro is full of the
most pointed ridicule and satire di
rected against them, and though
wealth and station may buy for thcui
the most extravagant expressions of
approval, tho whele proceeding never
theless is counterfeit; tho ej.ithala
mium it) only a low comedy song, and
the struggle is to keep the natural
failing of disgust in subjection to good
breeding, while the "show" for such
it is passes over the stage. And
then still in rpito of ourselves our
thoughts will turn to the eld Lombard
baron in "Chaucer's January and
May." and to Sir Peter ami Lady
Teazle, in Sheridan's "School for scan
dal." Says the Dalles "Times Mouutaia
or:" Which- horn sf-le deleinma
will the "Oregonian" gra'pl If it
supprti Pennoier, it maltifies itself
in everything :t has slid sgaiust tho
actio coolie agitators; and if it wheels
into line in favor ef Cornelias it
shakes hands with Mitchell and his
Oregon political machine." The"Ore
guaian" is no dslemma at all. It
spaaks its mini freely and plainly
about all parties and upon all raeasuret;
it ariticises all parties and is not the
spscial advocate ef any; it makes no
stiteaieiiti and seeks no friends at
the expense of truth of independence;
it is quite willing to accept tho desig
nation of the one vehicle of opinion
and information in this whele country
that can't bo moved by hope ef favor
or fear of enmity frets any quarter; it
cares as little for the love ef politi
cians as for their hatred, says what it
thinks, and is neither elated nor cast
down by tho isiae, be what it may.
When either party taks a course
which it cannot approve it says f and
minces no words about it; when both
parties take inch course it does the
same thing; and because it doesn't need
party nor depend on party, it dseau't
find itself lonesome; nor feel like an
orphan, though it 'V- the adherent ef
neither party. It prefers the position
of an independent critic and recorder
of events to any other that could be
named; and this position it will main
tain. It doesn't approve tbe candi
dacy either of Cornelius or Pennoyer,
and isn't bound by any law or custom
or other obligation that it knows of to
support either.

MAY 15, I8S6.
Tlie District Judgeship.
The supreme csirf havinj decided
that the statute I requiring- district
judges of the state to be electee" "in
16S0 and every sixth year thereafter,"
is constitutional and valid,' Judge L.
R. Webster of th First District is
again placed in nomination by the Re
publican State Convention. It was
generally expectedand desiredjthat he
would again, be a candidate in the
event ef such a decision of the higher
court. Fmw men in such petitions
have won and held the esteem and con
fidence of the people in so great a de
gree as he. Appointed by a Republi
can Governor to fill the vacancy caused
bythe resignation of Judge Hanna,
his was the remarkable fortune, after
presiding in caartfer about a twelve
month, to crme before tha people as
the nominee of the Republicir. state
convention, and, in a district Demo
cratic by some fivs hundred votes, to
ve ilcctod by the ccphatic majority of
over three hundred. This was two
v ears ago. It was not then known
whether hit election was for two years,
sr for six, but it was supposed by most
of tbe electors of the disttict to.befor
six years. The high expectation en
tertainsd of Judgo Webster by the
people of this district, as shown by
this remarkable vote, have Woefully
realized. "Ho?iasJpresided over their
court with i dignity, ability and cour
tesy which have commanded the re
spect and admiration of the members
of the bar, and has been a conscien
tious,faithful and upright judge. The
"Tidings" believus he should now b'o
elected for a full term of six years.
No public office should be so jealously
guarded as that of judge in our courts
of justice, and when the right man is
found he should not be net aeide for a
aero political consideration. It if
tin judgment of all thoughtful men
that tho courts should be raised as far
as possible above tho reach of party
politic?, with its harrassing and dis
turbing influnnccs, and the fact of the
term of office of our district judgss bo
ing placed at six years, instead of two,
ns other state office, is a marked rec
ognition of this principle. In Mult
nomah county, where two district
judges are to be elected, an expedient
was proposed which would practically
neutralize any influence of political
partisanism npon tha election. Tbe
Repablican state convention, which
met last week, by an nndcrstanding
with prominent Democrats cf that dis
trict (which was not sustained by the
Democratic convention) mads but one
neaaiuatien for district jude;e, leaving
the other to bo made by the Demo
erats. This is a wise plan, and would
bavo a good effect in keeping tbe
courts out of the reach of unworthy in
fineness. Above tho door ef trery
court of justice in America aboald bo
plaeed the warning: "He must leave
politics behind who enters here." Our
form of government coald not exist, of
courte, without political partial", but in
its judicial branch partisanship should
find no place.
With an excellent record for ability,
as shown by a comparison of his de
cisions with thote of any district judge
in tho state, and with an unquestioned
reputation for integrity and honor,
Jadge Webster should be again elected
by the strong majority given him two
years ago. "lidings.
Complaints are frequent of the im
pure water of cisterns. This is in
evetable nnder the careless manage
ment of theso useful additions to the
water supply, and is a fruitful source
of what are called "malarial diseases."
A roof gathers a large quantity of im
pure matter, dead insect;, droppings of
birds, dust, dead leaves, pollen from
trees, etc., eta, all of which are wash
ed into the cistern, unless some means
aro provided to prevent it. Even then
the water should be filtered before it
is used for culinary purposes. One
way of preventing foul matter from
entering the cistern, is to have tho
leader movable, and swing from a
wastn pipe te tho cistern pipe. In dry
weather the pipe is turned over the
waste, and after the rain has fallen for
a sufficient time to wash off the roofs
and gutters, it is turned into the cis
tern pipe. The cistern is provided
with a soft brick wall laid in cement,
through which tbu water filters, com
ing out by the pump perfectly pure,
and free from unpleasant odors.

Work on the California and Ore
gon RsiTroaiT i? advancing as rapidly
as the rugged nature of the country
in which the tunneling and traeklay
ing is now being dene, will permit.
The road is now in full operation. from
Sacramento to a point aboat sixteen
miles north of Delta, or far up in
Shasta county, tho distance to Delta
from. Sacramento being 208 miles
General Manager Towns states that by
the end of Jsly, the company expects
to carry passengers and freight as far
as Lower Soda Springs, 232 'miles
from Sacramento. This will fcborten
the stags rids between the end of the
California division, and that cf the
Oregon division, to about eighty miles,
the intervening strip of country is en
tirely rugged, and it will necessarily
require considerable time to make tbe
tunnels and cuts. Tbe route is de
scribed as "one of tho most pictur
esque and charmingly scenic on the
csast," but the main thing to consider
is the fact that it will open up a vast
extent of desirable lad to settlement.
Some of tho Portland and other Ore
gon papeis have from time t time ex
pressed fears that, the final completion
of this California divieiou ton junction
with the Oregon Railroad, thus form
ing an over'and line between San Fran
cisco and Portland, would prove very
injurious to the lattor'n business inter
ests. It is difficult to understand how
thin can be so. The history of the
Atlantic seaboard is certain to be re
peated on this coast. San Francisco
must be the great center of population,
tho focus of trade, as New York is.
Portland will bear about the samo rela
tion to us that Boston does to New
York. As tho latter city has grown
anl developed its business, Boston,
Philadelphia and Baltimore have ad
vanced in a corresponding degiee, and
the mora so owing to the perfection of
the means of spesdy communication
vith the metropolis. As San Fran
cisco develop?, so, in tho same ratio,
will Portland, Santa Barbara, Los
Angeles and San Diago, and the bet
ter transportation facilities between
each of thorn and the metropolis-of the
coast, tha more will it advantage them.
Portland will undoubtedly find a de
cided benefit in tho completion of this
new line, and in any event it will net
hurt her. Saca bus been tha experi
ence of the new reads at the East, such
will undoubtedly be the cxperisaie
hire. S. F. "Call."

at a number of cities at which an im

merchandise was noted a week ago,
there is nonq new. Purchases at Chi

mediate wants only. There are at
least 50,000 employes en strike against
43,000 last week, in addition to those
seeking to enforce the adoption ef the
eight-hoar ' rule. Bradsvrtet's Ends
that at least 225,000 men at the in
dustrial centers are actively moving to
secure fewer hours of labor daily. Of
this number 6.000 are on striko,
32,000 have had their demands grant
ed, and 105,000 threaten to strike.
There aro 75,000 who have not yet
accompanied their requests with threats
of strikes. The mora aggravated con
dition of the labor situation is primari
ly responsible for the noticeable de
