' Wo think they strain very hard sometimes to get up sensational Items. Wo nro not nlwuys sure that n thing is truo when wo rend it in n Portland dally. Wo fear that their enterprise nnd energy carry them so far that thoy often publish items of " nows" thnt no ono on enrth over would hear of If it wcro not for their " energy," nnd thnt no ono on earth over will believe, though it has over so many sensational headings. And the cheekiest pnrt of their wholo per formance is that they locate most of their heartrending and tear spilling tragedies and side splitting comedies i right In our own neighborhood, and ! then expect us to swallow their "sen sational stuff" without a question. Ye " enterprising" and friendly Lo cals, wo can't do it; and we "have somewhat against you," and aro forced to hcllovo some things nliotit you against our will. Wo hcllovo you nro nn over-worked anil unhappy race of men. Your task-masters, like thoso of tho ancient Israelites, havo sent you forth to make bricks without straw.

It will take a number of years to make the necessary comparisons and submit the matter to the considera tion of each civilized nation.

Indeed, I havo mnny things I would like to any to your readers. Not that I am ego tistical enough to think I am uble to profit them more than others by my suggestions. But I know how It is : an editor always loves to have a great deal of original matter in his paper. Original articles, if not as finished and elegant as to stylo as some that have already been In print, always give a Journal n livo appearance. They aro appreciated by an editor, and sought after by tho general rend er.

I), 187a. Congress has been nt work title week on tho details of legisintion, pussing the appropriation bills and attending to what moves tho wheels of government, the providing money to carry It on. I Ui:i)lT Mllllll.lKlt. The most Interesting topic of gener al conversation Is the development In relation to tho Credit Moblller of America. Tho evldenco tnken so far has been contradictory ; many lending members of Congress who have been accused of taking stock in that profitable concern havo plainly elenred themselves. Spcnkcr Ulnlne clearly nutl specifically denies that ho hnd tho most remote connection with It, cither In person or through nny one else. Tho Vice President did own $2,001), ornt least paid $500 towards purchasing thnt much stock, nnd a foy wcoks niter withdrew from all connection and lost his pny meiit already iiinde. There are a few cases where members of Con gress did own nnd drew dividends on the stock nnd tho fact will serious ly embarrass them, hut It Is satis factory to have o much of tho evi dence exculpate our public mcu. Tho times tiro considerably out of joint nt tho best however, nnd the morning papers say that McCouib, tho private mover Iu making these charges, promises a now batch of de velopments that shall implicate mnny lending men in nnd out of Congress. Wo shnll see. l'OSTAh TKLKC.IlAl'JIY. The Committee on appropriations have been Investigating tho proposed measure of postal telegraphy, nud tho reports of tho Investigation are spiced with n sharp contest of words between the Postmaster General and Mr. Orton, tho champion of the telo- graph companies. The Postmaster General, Mr. Cre. well, urge tho measure gn',antly and no doubt dlslntercste'.Viy. There Is great Interest felt in tho measure by the public, nml its importance to tho peoplo nt largo can hardly be estimated. Telegraph stock Is about tho best paying Investment of all, and of course tho enterprising men who conduct tho business are anx ious to retain it. The energy of the Postmaster General in pushing bl measure, shows independence of the vast monopoly, and the people should
