Devotion to Interest of tho people, and advocacy ol what wo believe to bo right doe not Involve n tamo subserviency to any living man or set of men. We recog nize lint the lMtroinof Husbandry aroour Irleud mid liberal patrons, but we took our course before we knew nf such nn or ilerand beforo a single grange was organ ized In Oregon, mid to-tliy noare Ignorant of It worklugsa any other well-read out sider.

Our town may bo slow to awake tu a realization of the lilcu tltyoflutcrcstsbttwccu townaud country, but that will cimio In tlino and wocin wait mid work for the regeneration of tho denizens of our town and cities with a contldcuco that there Is a good tlino coin ing even for them. conitov M'linm.N. One til the moU urgent uecils of our young and growing Sstato I it common school system lliat shall advanco the cause of education by securing educational facili ties to every neighborhood In Oregon, Our school hws need overliaullug and thorough revlilug, and that Is a work wo believe the educators of our .Stato hare (vgutuueeof with a view to suggesting needed amendments, they having, at tho session of the State Teachers' Institute hero In December, concluded that a short session preclude Ilia possibility of thor oughly considering a new bill the moit ef fectml remedy lie In repairing the exist ing law to make the ninU ofltsgood points and to amend Its defective ones. It I to Ik IiohM tho at tho next session our State l.cgM.itor will llud time to consider this matter of public education well and not allow any excuse for Its neglect. The co ple want schools, and tho great movement which I In progrc at tho present time lonks to toclil and Intellectual advance ment, w hlch can only be saddled by liberal educational adiaiitages. Wlien the ipiestlou of providing free schools Is mooted In this community we always hear business men and persons of reputed wealth make the objection tliat while they do not like to be specially taxed to support a free school system In this es pecial district they would be clieerAdly willing to pay tlielr mioU of a regular Mate tax to support free ediools all over Oregon. We very much desire to test the sincerity of these professions, and we are aatlstledilitt the people will mora will Ingly pay taxes to support schools and pro vUU.tar.Kluiallo.nl tacUUU .6,-UUi clilldren thin for anv other purpose. A thousand teacher would bo required for that purpose, and their support would re. nulre an exiiendlture of hall a million dol Ian. We do not say that thl could all bo raised by direct taxation, or that It should bo so raised, but wo do say thl': that one of the most Inijiortant matters for our peo ple to consider in tho coming election, and tor our coming legislators to act upon, I the formation of a suitable system of general education. A a community advance towanl a prosperous and enlightened civilization the school houo conic Into plain view mid bears a mora lmortaiit part. The peda gogue Is an effectual enemy of the dema gogue, and It n leather I lit for tho occu pation the community wilt grow too en lightened for prejudice to exist. We stand or fall hy our schools. II wo havo them wo progress, and If wo neglect them wo remain In tho datk bondage of Ignorance. The children who grow up together In schools aie better friends and neighbors In after lite for having explored tho path of learning In each other's company. They who learn the rudiments of education havo within their grasp ; 1 J the realm of knowl edge, mid It lies within themselves to say how far they will explore It. We know more than one man In Oregon who ha tolled slowly on after attaining the aga of manhood, learning to read and write ami acquiring knowledge with great dltllculty, who are now well-read men, mid Invaria bly these men a redetermined atevcry haz ard to oiler their children ndrnntngesw hUh they never possessid. Those who coniemnong in from ubroid sometimes feel a want or the advantages they enjoyed In the older Slate, whllethcy recognize that wo are doing nil tint seems mshle to advance education among us. The popular cry ot "retrenchment and re form ; " "economy and honesty;" Is not meant to close our schools, but to put nu end to all the extravagance and corruption that burdens the taxpayers of tho Mate anil tho nation, ami limit our ability to forward the cause of education. Wo can obtain much of our public service at much less than tho usual tost, and It It sale to say that economical administration of all pub lic affairs, from municipal all.ilr up to the national capital, Would economize a suffi cient sum to educate tho children of the nation. Wo po"ot soma means, an cdcucatlon- nl fund t,.ai it ucrlml Irom lands do nated for the purpose, and taxation Is not needed to tho mil amount, but ne might to advantage levy moro school tax and economlzo elsewhere to mako It up. We can only close with a brief cxhortatlen to the people ol Oregon to Insist on better fa cilities for the education ol the youth of the State. CITY AMDSnl'STHV. Wo occupy rather an anannlou posi tion, living In a city, and publishing a dtlly piier there, mid at the same time Mug the especial advocate ol the Interests of the country. Wo do not mean tn Inti mate by this that we Ignore or at all neg lect the Interest of Salem, or ot any other of the town of our State, because wo re cognlzo that we do all tint Is In our power to advance and promote tho Interest of Salem In particular, and tho very liberal mpport wo receive hero showi tint the cit izen view It so. In reality, tho interests ol tho town nro dependent on the metes of tho country. Let ut have poor harvests and Ion- prices for all farm products, und tho workshops as well as the stores of tho towns aro 1st to and prolltlcs. The last harvest in the country was followed by the moro than average harvest by merchants and mechan ics in all our town. It I not the regular dealers that the farmers aro leaguing against, It Is tho speculator and niouoio llt who are combined to keep tho f inners poor agalnt whom limy havo In turn com bined. In advocating the causo of the country we are surely laying the foundation for the prosjitirlty of tho towns. Schools and factories will come of this farmers move ment. Thcro will be greater advantage and prlvlllges as a result of tho successor the producers and the growth and prosper ity ol towns will follow tho success of the Granges. II them are any mere parasites gnftcd on the society of towns they may dread tlie era of progress and enllghtment, as may also the lamo class who Idlest tho couutrv, but all honest men, with honest business, must welcomo as a great harbinger of good this popul ir movement which looks to so cial excellenco and graw th In Intelligence as well as for tlio protection of tho produ cers Irom tlie rapacity of placemen, spec ulator and politicians. It is truo that rings, cliques and monopolies 11 nd their richest soil In our towns, but the men who nourish such balelul enterprises aro not the best citizens of our towns, by any means. Such creatures aro cxcrescucc and putrid lores, lu any community, which require severe cauterizing before tho body politic can be healthy. There may possibly be an over supply In the towns of the class of men who fancy tlwmselvei born to ornament high posi tions ami. who think they oauirat -lit without It, and the fact that politico! com binations have been easiest effected where such aspirant congregate and hare an Im mediate Influence, coca to prove that Ike LUswoaluiauitv than tlielr tVlrabara of demagogues, but even our fellow dtU n hero in Salem mut confess that their city would live and prosper If theo ambitions creature wero suddenly to disappear. The fact I that the mass ol townieople are Indifferent to such men, and are In hearty sympathy with the wholo country and mixtou lor tho cenenil cood. Our mechanic know that tho country build tho towns, and wo alt ought to know that it common tlo of country and of home, readies Irom one llreslde to another through all tho laud, and make in ono jicoplo. Wo even feci soma Interest lu tho mnbt. tlou of our town politicians, mingled with amusement at their absurd gyrations. l'AIITI Jliril.YAI.H AMIS l'OMTIN. Tho Western J!nm!, published ot Chi' cago, Is one of tlie great agricultural papers ot tho United States, mid our readers can seo by tlio following extracts from Its col umn tint the II itlametle Farmer 1 not ulouoofltsclas tu advocating Independ ent political action by tho iwoiilc. A cor respondent of tho Jlural write: For the first time lu tho history of our country, tho firmer nro associating for lo purposo or becoming uctter tiitorincit a to their prlvatu tho public Interest. They nro nwaro of tho tact that they have not been treated n well ns they should havo been mid are combining to remedy It. It was to prevent the mudlo-meu, or tho'e that III e by trailing, mid by tran poitlng the products of labor, from making vxorhltuiit'protlt that the great movement now known n "The Parmer' Movement" wn commenced. Hut tin sooner had the I inner In gan to Investigate the cause of the bird times tint have been slowly but steadily Increasing all over tlio country thin Ihcy began tu discover lint tho poll lid in weiu even worse enemies to them than were the uilddle-liicu. A n conse quence, the fennel. In several ofthabtatcs ol the (ircat West, hive entered the politi cal Held and smashed the slate of the hlthvrtiiall-iiowcrlul political ring-master. The Interference ol tho farmers lu poli tics his caused u great commotion nmong tho politicians. They know full well tlut, should the farmers unite and net together as n ciass, uiey u ivo tuo iower to ruiu tlio nation. They are, therefore, nuxlou-ly studying the farmers' Movement to seo what the farmer Intend to do. In those Stite or localities where the Democrat are In the majority, the Democratic) poll tlcl in liar tho movement lest It should In. Jure tlielr prosiKt'ts for olllce. In those Mate mid localities III which the Ilepuli Menu are In the majotlty. the Kepubll can politician aro naluinlly opposed to tho I inner Interfering in h(Ics, lest tlielr cliaucc lor obtaining public posi tion should bo diminished. Hut, on the whole, in the nation at large, tlie Dcni ocrattu politician aro moro fivorable to the Farmers' Movement than are tho Itepiibllcau. mainly because their party I lu the minority. Tho Democratic pre and politician generally aro dispos ed to look uiiii tho Movement lu n nitron Izlng manner. In fact, thcyiircquito will ing that It slymld become a grind political movement, always provided that It act ns I nn ally of tho Deinocratie party, and aids it in ouuimuig power. The ltcpublicau press and leaders, see ing that their party has control of tho na tion, are on the whole auxlou to have the farmer avoid the political Held. They know full well th it tho movement can do their party no good and may do It Incal culable Injury. The great organ of the Republican party are, therefore, continu ally warning tho farmers not to allow their Movement to become wtlcul, nud they denounce alt the leaders of the firmer' that propose to make It pohtloalfai broken down politician and political demagogue. 1'olltlclaui in ty as well understand that, whether they like It or not, the great Farmers' Movement will becomo political. It I necessary tint It should, In order to put down the corruption that now every-1 where exist In political circles. If the American people nro Indeed caiiable ofsclt goterutucut, the time has now arrived tor us to prove It, tornsyot it Isauopenquis tlou, as a glance at tho situation of our country will clearly show. And we clip from tho editorial columns tho following paragraph : Willi respect lo tho Granges and tlielr political action, thcro Is no restriction placed upon Indlvlduil l'atrous acting po litically lu lust whatever manner they think proper. It Is true that tliedlscusslou nf politics I forbidden In the Granges. So Is the discussion of religious matters ; yet wo hive not heard ol any neopli) te nitron being required to renounce his form of worship as n preliminary to Joining the Order. On becoming ti 1'atron, tho farmer doc not surrender Id political birthright und Is not hampered in the exercise oflt. It Is now too late lu tho day to discuss whether tho Granges are likely to operate tor the advantage ot tho fanner or not. All Ihi was discussed two year ago and would be In course ol discussion now If the Granges had not taken tho bit In tlielr teeth and run beyond dlscuislon. For good or evil, tho die Is cast, and they are al ready the controlling power lu several of the States. Also this : What wo wero nmong tho first to main tain, nud do still maintain. I that the promptest, nud only effectual, remedy for tlio corruption In olllco which the prime s'i'rco of tlie farmers' wrongs I for the t.rnicrs themselves lo take tho matter In hand, and put honest men In otllee In the place uf the present incumbents. AN OFIXIO. rillll WAMtt COCSTY. Mr. A. It. llreyniau wrltos to his broth ers In this city, from Mitchell, Wasco county, as follows : "I see a movement Is on foot by some of your cuterprUlii'i lueu, whldi, If carried out, will be a great benefit to Salem and tlie valley.

The man who Is quallllcd to discharge positions ef public trust ought to bo capable of making his way well In private life, and If he cannot earn a good living lor himself It is safe to suppose tint ho cannot attend to Import ant public affairs, If ho can earn n good llvlnc lie should not be anxious tn leavn n good business for tho uncertainties of nlllco mid tho gift of nlllco should bo a popular endowment conferred on capable men mlher thin a position mined by wire- winking, combinations and political chi canery, Tim nconlo are not Intending to let them. sclvc be wheedled and tricked out of olll ce Just at tho present tlino mid tho urging or personal claims will most of It be thrown away. Iter. J. F. DeVoro publishes his answer to the charges made against him, and Ids nnwer lii confession lint lie originally charged tho Government for threo limes the time nctu illy cmpl-cdlu making appraise ment of property at Xcah Hay. Ilo re duced the claim when objection was made, to bo sure, but he made It, uud the church very proiwrly considers that it was un truthful to do so, and practically dishonest. It Is to be hopod that a single net, done lu accordance with worldly usages, will not couutcrbalancoa score ol yea rsotiisc fulness and faithful service, but this case Illustrate the pernicious effect, and demoralizing re sult of olllct-holdlng on the lot of men. It seem to bo coussdered the right thins to mako all that can bo made nut nf town, county, State or nation, when engaged In public service, nud the remedy lor this reckle peculation Is to induce salaries to n common rate for similar service and ex act n Hill performance. The duty of re form Is to strip oIIUm ollUgllttcr; to reduco the public service le the samo rate of pay a other service and to punish olllcl il greed, nt the church propose to do In the Instance quoted, by applying the rule of common honesty to all public affairs. We cannot close this wlthoat giving sonio advlcsi to the thousands ot men In Oregon who are longing for olllce.

The Commissioners held off, trying to get them to contribute, but tliey would not.
