in promoting the success of the greatl
principles for which the Democratic
party is evci battling.
"
There being no schisms in the party
to heal and patch up, the work of the
Committee /will be .comparatively
plain and simple. No trading should
be resorted to in the interest of any
I V
* .person or locality. The party can-
^fford in the hour of its prosperity
L/jiazard an indefinite futurk success
on«the die of an “idea.”
The Republican partyj so-called, is
:/spidered by internal dissensions; the
J^’j^Duld-b^dominent wing, composed
i1 of federal appointees, is insolvent and
(exacting; the independent wing seems
,. little disposed to yield.
Let Democrats but do »their duty
£ . and there will be an end of the mo-
------ hopoly power im this State. That
power will make one desperate effort
and then permanently subside.

R eduction of the D ebt .—Previ
ous to the last Presidential election,
there was, somehow, figured up each
month, a considerable reduction of
the national debt. Most people
looked iipon thia as a mean subterfuge,
to aid in GranVs re-election, yet no
one was in j possession of the data upon
which to su iccessfnlly refute the fig
ures. But murder will out. Each
“monthly itateinent” now shows an
alarming increase, that for Decern-
ber being near nine million tUlars!
The Yamhill river is to be improv
ed during the coming season, just how
much, we are not prepared • to say.-
The Oregonian, says: “By instructions
from Washington^he channel of the
Yamill river will soon be carefully
surveyed from the mouth to the high,
est navigable point. This will be cione
with special reference to the improve

/ THE WEEKLY SUN is too widely known
to require any extended reoommendationj
but the reasons which have already given it
fifty thousand subscribers, and which will,
we' hope, give it many thousands more, are
briefly as follows:
It is a first-rate newspaper. All the new»
of the day will1 be found in it, condensed
when unimportant, at full length when of
moment, and always presented in a clear, in
telligible, and interesting manner.
It is a first-rate family paper, full of en
tertaining and instructive reading of every
kind, but containing nothing thatcan offend
the most delicate and scrupulous taste.-
It is a first-rate story paper. The best
tales and romances of current literature are
carefully selected and legibl^printed in itir
