TIMKI.V TALK. Obervatloni, I'ullllrul and Otherwlie The Hnmll lullnrnce of "Cauialfn" Nlieett The 'Conundrum's" AlllyKtrurti. To the Editor of the Kost Orrgonlant It dawned upon ino till at once that perhaps I might secure honor and notori ety for myself by using the Kast Oiikoo Nian as u medium through which to oxprcss my classical and elegant ideas, in order that they might circulate freely among uu eager jieople. And. strange to to say, I shall express no morbid lour oi tho wusto-baskot; for after floundering through u few paragraphs of tho "Science of C'orresjKiiidonces, ' from IJrothor "Vcrud's" soulful jmsii, I huvo coiiiq to the conclusion that tho Kast Oiikoonian ulll publish anything, oven though it should come from u candidate for a luna tic nsvliim. (which, however. I do mt I profess to Ihj) und I therefore submit tho Inllo.iliiL' with few foroltodhius ; I will not start oil' with enthusiastic and (tailoring compliments on .ho "neat uppearanco, good moral tone," etc, of hfoiir now vontuio Iiiu dally, iho lact is 1 urn interested in tho youngster, and I don't want its heudtogto.v too awfully largj to piovent Its hat fn iu fitting. It muht rollect that d'Spito Its prodigious baby growth, it Is not ut u giant, and that the woild might iossk)y rolvo without It. Of ootirco it is u credit to tho town und to its publishers, and all thut( ! but, nevertheless, it must not grow too L'uuui'ucii occauso oi ino luisomo praifo und llattcry continually showered Ukiu it (.uiiiuiiijiuruncH. It is rather amusing to nolo the bicker ings und contests carried on by would-be iniluontial journals and jol!tleians, inci dent to tho approaching Piosidontiul campaign. It also might truthfully bo called it disgusting spectacle. Hero is a big Democratic dally disclaiming on the virtues of tho present Administration, and tho honesty und unimpeachable in tegrity of our Nation's head while tho Hopubliean loaders aro covered from head to foot with filthy slimo from tho spatter ings of tho missile thrown by this samo patriotic sheet into the political ool. Un the ono sldo it can sco, or will see. noth ing but the brightest good, and a glorious future for tho country ; on tho other sido it passes in review tho most demoraliz ing, degrading political trickery, vhc!i it claims lias only for its object tho blight ing of tho country's prosperity In the in terests of monopoly. Nor uro tho Hopub liean papers backward in Hinging mud, but are probably oven more virile; for they do not hesitate to associate tho nalne of tho President of tho United States tho dignity of whoso position should ut least command rcsiwct with till that is politically vile. And right hero let mo s.iy that this in a measure explains tho lack of Influence, proportionate to their circulation nnd prominence, possessed by these solf-stylcd "molders of public opinion." Tho averugo Ainericun citizen and voter is not such u gullible loggerhoad as these journals and pollticluus imagine. no has scon his country grow and pros per under tho loadorshili of either narlv. and his patriotic heart swells with pride as ho rotlects that tho small question of which party Is in power can neither re tard nor increase Its' sure development. Know niz this, it is but natural that ho should look with contemptuous indltlcr enco on tho ranting of journalistic dema gogues. And this In not only truo of the larger Journals, hut also of their smaller country brothren. They have not ono te:'th tho influence they uro suppoHcd to possess lu controlling tho sentiments, thoughts, and ballots of voters. Thoy might simply bo placed on a footing with Individuals, with tho sumo freedom to oxprcss their viows nnd opinions, but also with tho sumo understanding that others losldcfl themselves havo minds und beliefs, which can only bo influenced by good, sound facts and urgiiments. Apropos of the foresolnir about (ho coining Presidential contest, it Is apparent that it lias its exact counterpart, on a much smaller scale, in tho liolllng of Umatilla county's political ot In this, tho Par West. It Is very, very umusing to notice tho dlllerenco oi opinion ho tween Pendleton's two dully "molders, " nooui tlio iiemocrutio county convention und Its nominations. Thu East Oiikiio- nian says, und most probably with per fect truthfulness, that tho ticket put lu thu field is strong und satisfactory, and that tho convention was uninfluenced lu tho loast by rings, cliques or combinations of any kind. Thu Daily "Conundrum," being uopubiicau, oi course lias iniiureni Ideas and convictions, and bemoans with crocodllo tears the corruption manifest in every uctlon oi tho convention, it de plores in hypocritical sorrow tho fact(?) that tho "court-houso cliquo" was tho lover that moved with ono accord tho Democratic deleuates. and refers lu un Insinuating way to a vague and shadowy muchlno "boss," who rewarded or in treated his followers us ho saw fit. It feelingly laments tho "slaughter" of the innocent John A., whom it regards us the "licst man" in tho Democratic party for tho osltioii of Representative, und claims that ho fell u martyred sacriflco to tho cruel mandate of tho "boss," who was of courso advancing his own und the "ling'n" rolflsh interests. How won drous pitiful is this sud story I I'ut thu "I. ittlo Conundrum" cannot douche thu voters of old Umatilla, In its dibits ' ' effect it breach lu thu Democratic ranks through which tho ltepubllcuus may rush und ucniovo a victory, i ho result ol its puny uttompts will lsi brotmiit homo io it in u forcible and surprising way during tho coming Juno election. Tho Kast Oiikoonian has u happy wuy of expressing itself. Its comments on tho good and had oliits (principally good, of courso) of tho Democratic ticket, woro very interesting and free from prej udice. I havo only timo to refer to one, which I regard us u triumphal combina tion of brevity und wit: After pnilslng the prosont management of tho sheriff's office, und commending tho integrity und ability of "Honest John," it said ho hud only ouo fault that "ho sometimes tulked too much, whon silence would lie far more dignified and iireferublo." Tho nimble jon of "Mud Crook" could not write u Iwttor biography of John M. llentloy in a volume. It is to bo ho)od hs will tako tho hint, und when his tongue uttompts to run uwuy with his vocabulary and his reason, bridle it with thoughts of that old und reliable truism, "Siienco is golden."

It is u sliauio to tho government if any soldier who fought for its Preservation Is left to a destitute ago or a dostltuto condi tion, on account of disability Incurred in Iho Mjrvico.

Pensions uro till light for tlio needy who uio othonUi-o entitled to thmii.

A I'nrlliktid lleiiinrmt llxpret'pa lili Opin ion Upon h Mutter of Import ncotnTlie Ilciuorratle munition. Tho following letter upH!urcd in yestor- day's Orcgonian: PoiiTbANP, March 31. To.thc Editor of tlio Orrgonlnn. Tho Salem Videtlo has tho following: It may bo well ut this time to caution the Multnotmih delegation to the State Democratic convention, ami to suggent to tho convention that it will be folly to nominate utiy one from Multnomah county who has a well-defined suspicion . over htm of always telling out thu Dem ocratic party to tho Hepubliciins, or who has been guilty of knifing the party to servo personal ends. A stop might as well bo put to this sort of treachery first us last. The delegates from tho valioy counties must undcrstiind that thu Multnomuh delegation is not in tho hands of any ono that makes It a business to sell out tho Democratic party. The" Democratic party in Multnomah county has been cursed long enough by that class of tclf-scoking H)Hticiaus, and it Is not going to Pendleton in thu inter est of utiy such ono, but it is going there to fight that clement lu tlio party, and to help nominate u strong, clean, acceptable ticket for the whole State. Mult.iumuli county Democrats are not suriirlned that tho Videttu misunderstands tlio position of tlio .Multnomah delegation. Tlio rumor has ixsen Industriously cir culated through tho length and breadth of tho State, that thu aspirant for tho con- grcssiunul nomination from .Multnomah county is tho strougcht man to put up against tho Republican candidate, pro- sumaiiiv bocatiso ho can trade oil in re turn tlio Democratic county ticket with his bosom friend, tho chairman of tho Republican Statu committee. It is hardly necessary to say that tho Multnomah county delegates to 1'ondlotoii uro not going to bo it party to this thing, flio fear h that tho valley delegates may bo misled by tho also impression created there by absuid rumors of the strength of the Multnomah aspirant for congressional nomination ut Pendleton next Tuesday, und lest they be. so do colved It Is most opportune now to cau tion them that thoy must not by their votes or usslsttiucu help to lniiose'SUch it man on the party. IaiI thorn test as sured that the Multnomah delegation Is going to Pendleton intent on putting up a ticket that will not onlv kiiIIhIV tbe rxt of tho Stuto, hut will bo nlso strong enough to curry tho Stuto without u dicker or trade.
