NATIONAL POLITICS.
It is fully timo tlmt wo hud n imtlon
nl government and not n, moro iarty
ailinlniHlratlon of iiiitionnl uliidrj. All
irootl and disinterested citizens .should
unite In the desire to see the rancor of
jmalisanshln tflvo way to admit the
consideration of broader views and to
encourao the general prosperity of
the whole United Slates. President
Hayes seems already to have grovious
ly disappointed the men who run the
machinery of politic-in his own party,
and it is to bo hoped that he will utter
ly disgust them through the four years
or his administration, by being true to
his professions made before and since
ills inauguration. Jl will be something
now to seo .such pledges kept and hon
ored by a practical observance and we
will be apt to respect any ofKcfal who
thus disappoints us.

politicians, even though they may be
.strong p.ii'll-an-; they probably have
little idea of tlio dishonest trielcn that
aro often practiced upon them, and lit
tle underitand tho hchemes and idols,
conspiracies and ran-alilles that are
miido uso of to win elections When
tho worst men get olllco they may take
it for granted that it has been earned
by unscrupulous .service dial will bear
tho light. Of courno we do not bay
tliat no good men get olllco, but we
thus account for the fact tlmt many bad
men receive political advancement.
Wo can think of no greater blessing
to befall tho American people than to
.see die civil service reformed; tonoe
competent men retained inolllce; nior-
it made tho chief cau-e of promotion;
to nee parly fealty Ignored and hoo
.Senators and (..'ongrcsMiion deprived of
all control of olUcial patronage, and
their recommendations only received
for what they aro worth. It should bo
:i Htoru rule, to bu rigorously enforced,
that uoouleliilblioiild meddlo with par
tisan politics, and that olllelal position
should not bo prostituted to base u-e.s.
riofaniH tho l'ioldoiit will Introduce
these reforms tho whole nation .should
honor him. It has been too much the
work of former admlnl-tradeus to uso
power to build up party, and that course
has borne fruits too lamentable to need
argument.
As to thoaedon of the President with
regard to tho South, wo fully Hiistaln
the withdrawal of tho troops nnd con
aider It proper that the Southern States
should bo loft to work out the problem
for themselves. Certainly, the presence
or the army can do nothing towards
establishing either peace or pro-purity
there, and it Is mho to oa-peruio the
whites and make them more bitter and
unrelenting toward the blacks.
It is a quo-don whether the blacks
or the whites .shall m'.t tho South, and
it needs no argument to .show tlmt ig
norant negroes are not lit for law-makers.
It was a terrible mistake to en
dow tho negroes, Ju-t liberated from
slavery, with aull'rage. It Is only nat
ural that the Mipcrlor race should soon
bo able to control the negro vote, In ouo
way or another, and wo mu-t concede
that the longer the struggle Is kept up
tho more the blacks will Miller. It may
be, and very llkel is, true that great
abuses picvall South; that a rutllniily
cla-s perpetrate ci tines such as are at
tributed to die Ku Kluv, and that the
blacks art) practically disfranchised;
but with all that granted it cannot be
doubted that the whites as, a class are
better capable (of self-government than
the blacks, and rule It they will, for
they have race mporiority In their fa
vor. It is undeniable that apart from
race prejudice the white people of the
South have no superior.- among the
most enlightened nations.
What tho country needs, what the
South especially needs Is the restora
tion of national feeling and Ideutltlca
Hon with national lutere.-ts In the full
est degree. If partisans demand a
course that shall uphold luity at the
'oxpense of national pro-perlty such a
cour-o as has been too often pursued
hit rely a national -entlment Irrespective
of party, will uphold tin President, li
Is time that each party had a policy de
veloped that shmild control its course,
and that the do-ire fur .-polls shmild
cease to lie the ultimatum of party
hopes. As koou as tho South l lot
ttlouo to govern lUelf wo may o.poet to
soo questions of policy arise In tho na
tion that will employ tho minds of tho
pooplo and to some degree disturb the
prc-ont status of parties. When tlmt
time comes tho whiles of tho South will
divide on questions of public policy and
the color Hue bo to some extent obliterated.
Fish Culture.
Homo two years ago shad spawn wore
brought from tho East, mm tho young
shad were launched In tho waters of
the Sacramento river, California, and
this year young shad weighing two
pounds, have been caught In that river.
This demonstrates the fact tlmt shad
can bo propagated In Western rivers,
of which there was no reasonable cause
for doubt. To show the oil'ect of artifi
cial propagation wo need only to cite
tho facts in relation to Eastern rivers,
where the shad had become so .scarce
as to bo a luxury beyond the reach of
the poorer classes Hatcheries were
started and oporated on tho Hudson,
with such remarkable success that last
year they were caught in great abun
danceso great tlmt (lie price dropped
to an almost nominal figure and all
could purclmso and partake.
Tho shad, it must bo remembered, is
tho iluosl llsh that swims, superior to
tho salmon when eaten fresh from tho
gridiron, and to show tho superiority
we need onlj cite the ancient Xew
England laws that required fishermen
to catch a proportion of salmon to so
many shad. Now, for a trilie, wo can
poifeoss all tho best fish of Northern seas
hero in Oregon. Msli culture Is an easy
science, so easy tlmt a trilling annual
outlay will be .sulliclent to stock tho
Columbia system of streams with var
ious varieties of fish. This Is being
done olsowhoro and why not Imvo It
done for Oregon? Lot our Congress
men interest themselves In this matter
and wo will give them blind for break
fast, ono of those days, when they
come home, and they can, at their
liesuro, comparo tho shad of the Col
umbia with tho.so that aro caught in
the Potomac.

Two weeks ngo It seemed as if tho
peace of Europe was not to be disturb
ed. Tho live Grout l'owors had agreed
upon a protocol which sot forth tho ne
cessity of reforms In Turkey and tho
manner In which those reforms could
bo accomplished, in tho opinion, at
least, of tho Powers, It boomed to bo
taken for granted that Turkey would
accept the interposition and and dicta
torial advice of England, Franco, Aus
tria, (tcrmanv. and Italv. as nositivo
law and adopt tho course recommended
that appears to bo endangered beyond
u hopo of preservation. The effect on
Oregon and on the whole Fulled Slates,
if war prevails In the other hemis
phere, must bo to ereuto u market for
all things saleablo we can produce or
manufacture. It brings to us in Oregon
tho promlso of at least u fair price for
our forthcoming harvest, and that har
vest seems to be passing through tho
crucial tests of the Winter and Spring,
in u manner to encourage belief of a
moro than abundant yield, llul it will
not do to predicate too much on the fu
ture. AVo may have good prices eaily
in tho season, and realize on the har
vest as soon as It is reaped, but let no
man attempt to realize on it in advance,
or Incur u dollar of debt that can be
avoided. Wo have a 'pro-peel of fair
times, and possibly of very good times,
another year, and the way to icall.o
the most Is to struggle with tho present
as manfully and economically as wo
can.
