Most poople believe in '"the greatest good to the greatest num ber," and the greatest number is :tumbr one. Bro.

Grant county lacks nearly that much of having anything in her treasury- It is said a band of sheep ran mror the democratic party in Ore gon, and that a republican can be distinguished by the wool in his teeth.

Politics is often compared to a machine. It is a well known fact that when the gearing is out of order the machine will not work. That is what is the mat ter with the Democratic party this ysar. Its Cearin' is out of order, and hence they arc gone. J'rineville News. The ladies of John Day City will give a Garden Party and Strawberry Festival in Mr. Haz el tine's orchard on Thursday, June twenty-first, 'SS, (afternoon and evening.) In the evening a programme, consisting of Recita tions. Vocal and Instrumental Music will be offered for the en tertainment of guests. The way political papers ''car ry on" over the result of the re cent election is amusing. Re publicans display the old-time rooster at the head of their edi torial columns, but the defeated Democratic Wasco Sun, displays a guilt-edged, concentrated, dou ble geared ladies, corsjt, with which he claims his party was "cinched" by the Republicans.

An old gentleman who came in from the South last week was told by some person in P.ear Valley that the Indians were on the war-path, and had murdered a family in the valley, but our citizens investigated the matter and found it to be only an idle rumor. The old gentleman was sincere, however, but stated that he obtained his information "from a fellow who was told by a sheep-herder," or words to that effect. Should the Indians com mence their raids they would not last long, as the county has a larger Herniation now than it had in 1878, and Howard and the U. S. army are not in the way either.

The following, which we see in the last issue of the Long Creek Eagle, is a very sensible suggestion, and we copy it and give the plan to our readers, that they may consider it, discuss the matter among themselves, and if the project is a feasible one, take some action: Why can't the business men of Long Creek, Canyon City, John Day and Hamilton, form a joint Stock Co., and purchase the wire and instrumnets of the Ileppner Telegraph Company, and estab lish a line of telegraph communi cations between these points and Ileppner, where it can connect with the O. R. & X. telegraph line; thereby giving us daily news from all points in the Unit ed States. The material of the Heppner Co. can be purchased at a very low price, and as the railroad, now approaching Ileppner, will necessitate the construction of a telegraph line over whicn to tran sact their road business, and will thereby throw the telegraph ma terial of the Ileppner joint-stock company upon the market. A line can be established at a verv reasonable expense, as the mater ial can be secured at a very low figure, and the route being through a heavilv timbered country, the cost of poles anil oth er material of that class, would be very limited. The advatages of a telegraph j line wouiu ne great, w ooi-grow-ers would receive daily reports from the various wool markets, which would enable them to sell their wool at the highest m:irket price, so also would the mer chant, and in fact the entire community be benefitted, for where the producers .and traders are enabled to take advantage of the markets, the consumers will also derive their share of the ben efits. Although the projeet would be to heavy a weight for any one of the above mentioned towns to bear, by organizing a joint-stock company, composed of the busi ness men of these four places, it would prove profitable to them selves, and beneficial to the en tire communitv. NOTICE. A Strawberry and Ice Cream supper will be given at the New Hotel on Friday afternoon, June fifteenth, commencing at five o'clock. Also supper at the same hour for all who wish it.

Mr. Watorliurv went through town with a band of horses, on his way to Wash. Territory, where he expects to find a market for the same. It seems like carrying coals to Newcastle.

Mr. Fry Wilson came to town, treating everybody, when asked what was the matter, wLether his man got elected or not, said: "Man elected be -blessed. It is a girl just arrived.

Sheridan's condition is very criti cal, mid 'ere this readies 3'ou, yon will probably have heurd of his death. His improvement of the few past days was a decidtd one, but suddenly there came a change, and this timo the heart trouble has returned complicated with a congestion of the lungs. Twodajs ago there seemed to be a chance that the General might j ull through and the sol diers were congratulating them selves Wednesday (Memorial D.iy) tl atlhey were spared cne melan choly duty .which iwo dayslefoie seemed an inevitab'o part of the Decoration d.iy programme. Gen. Sheridan bus faced death many u.nes and in many shapes dminc Lis ailvtDturous ci.ieer, but pr-ob-ally 1 ever came into such close quartets with the great destro-er as duri'ig his prcst nt illness. A lou' session of Congress is 1 redicted. It is the opinion of some prominent metnl ers of Con gress that the taiiff bill cannot be brought to a final voto iu the House before the middle cf July, and then if the Senate should con clude o consider it, it would be sometime in August before the hill would be returned to the House, and then a conf rence committee would have to consider it. So from this standpoint it will he September 1 eforo Congress c.,n adjourn. Since the Mills tariff bill reach ed its crisis its consideration by sections or a final vote as itstands, the republicans have caucused many times .without being able to frame a substitute for the bill that would bo satisfactory to the party. Therefore they decided to proceed by way of obstructing and amending the billr Two other tilings they decided upon, that they would have the Blair educa tional bill and all the general pen sion hills on the ca'cu !ar brought up for consideration as early as possible The end of the contest for secret executhe sessions came on Mon day last when by a vi.te of twenty two ayainst twenty-one, a strict paity vote, the republicans decid ed that the fisheries treaty should be discussed in open session, with open doors and crowded galleries. the deoa'e on this question has been hot tl.ro igh all the half doz en sessions behind closed doors which it has occupied, but on Monday it was hotter than over. Senator Sherman's motive in turn ing around, after having voted and reported ag.dnst the open s ssion resolution, was vary freely criti cised. The Senate was plainly told that Mr. Sherman was at the bottom 'f the whole open session movement, and that his candidacy for the Presidential nomination was tho mainspring of his actions The recent talk about nominat ing Judge Thmman for Vice-President recalls the fact that every occupant of (hat place who was more than sixty ears old when elected has died in office. The list is limited to five, and all the names are well known to readers of American histori : Clinton, Gerry, King, Wilson, and Hend ricks. If elected, Judge Tlufrmnn would be seventy-five years old within a few days of his election, and hence, as regards the proba bilities of his survival, would have fifteen 3 cars on the wrong side of the account. However, the Judge has doubtless put a stop lo any further discission ot his eligibility to any public office by his recent statements; "If the people believe ine to be an honest man tlie- will let me alone," and "all I want now is a seat in heaven." Senator Sherman was very irate over the President's veto of the Youngstone, Ohio, public building bill. He drew a parallel of the President's veto power and that of the t'azu of Russia, and the Sul tan of Turkey nndanuouneced the fact that he would make i n effort to pass the bill over Irs veto.
