While editing ft non-political
paper, we still claim the right to
criticise the methods by which a
number of political papers are
seeking to advauce their interests.
Chief among these is the oft recur
ring assertion that this or that
measure will fail on account of the
political complexion ot the mem
bers of the national legislature.
This is the sheerest folly; it has no
weight or should not have with the
intelligent and advancing thought
of the nineteenth century. On the
other hand, if it be true and incon
trovertible that good measures fail,
and that the enactment of just
laws becomes impossible from no
other cause tlmu that they will not
advance the selfish aims of party,
the sooner tln?°great bod\ of the
people rise to a sense of the situa
tion, the better it will be for the
country.
As we claim the ¡^ s e s
sion of the l>e6t government the
world ever saw, we ought to have
the benefit of it—the substance
and not the shadow.
The argu
ment is unworthy of the space
devoted to it, and it is totally irre
concilable with the idea which
prevails—chiefly among newspaper
men—that the mission of the
newspaper is to educate the people.
There can be neither education
nor improvement in ex parte asser
tions pomulgated for no more
worthy purpose than the success
of party—for men, regardless of
principle, and which engender no
higher attributes than those of
passion and prejudice.
Such pa
pers are but the jackals of paity.
The lion is about to sit down to a
sumptuous repast, and the follow
ers are howliDg for their insignifi
cant dole.
We entertain the most
supreme contempt for anything or
anybody, whether it is a news
paper man, “or any other man”
whose chief aim and highest earth
ly ambition, is to cry himself
hoarse, to whoop, rip and Inn rah
for a mere politician.
The tail of
the comet may add dignity to the
nucleus by the sheer force of con
trast, but, the elements which go
towards making the tail of party—
— uJt; uowiers, ana the newspaper
full of lying eulogy for its friends,
and venomons vituperation for its
foes, but detract from the dignity
of the greater body by the odious
comparison.

Quoting from an article in the
News, on the celebration of the
“ Fourth,” at this place, we glean
the following, which will be news
of a surprising character to some
who participated in that ceremony:
“ Mr. Gray was disi>osed to give
the fathers all due credit for their
work in the foundation of the re
public, but contended that while
we have reason to be proud of our
ancestors, our ancestors have equal
reason to be proud of us.” I f Mr.
Gray made use of the closing re
mark in that sentence, we failed in
hearing it There can be no doubt
that the writer made a mistake in
placing Mr. Gray in such an anom
alous position. Having no desire
to enter upon any lengthened crit
icism, we will conclude with a quo
tation, which in our opinion, will
be satisfactory to all concerned, as
well as a complete refutation of the
illogical statement: “For to him
that is joined to the living there is
hope; for a living dog is better
than a dead lion.
For the living
know that they shall die; but the
dead know not anything, neither
have they any more a reward.”

Will some of our good natured
contributors please to remember
one essential point in newspaper
ethics.
The columns of a news
paper cannot be devoted to one
article or one subject, and thus ex
clude other interesting matter. Be
concise.
In other words, cut it as
short as possible. Others wish to
be heard as well as to hear. We
appreciate and will gladly insert
articles that are interesting ami
instructive; but, the matter must
be diversified, otherwise it becomes
monotonous, and the periodical
fails to please.
T flE
1IO G .
We made an attempt lately to
write an essay that would not only
interest the farming population*
but take them by surprise, also. We
got well under-way, but caught
a snag, and fortunately, too. If we
lmd succeeded in wading through
the intricacy of the subject in
volved, we would have not only
surprised the farmers, but utterly
astonished them.
The idea to
which we clung tenaciously—as a
sucker clings to a shark—we in
tended naming “ the practical use
of the plow,” but, as we never
plowed anything but the sea, we
went to sea, on the subject, and
got lost in a labyrinth of conject
ure. We thought of all kinds ot
farm products, aud, finally, settled
on hogs. The hog is a good sub
ject—when fat, pickled and packed
in a barrel. Alive, he is a busy
animal; there is nothing lazy about
him. The great trouble with the
,hog is, that, Laving no aristocratic
notions being always meek and
lowly in his disposition, lie is still
inclined to enter the point of his
proboscis where he has received no
invitation. This is a lamentable
fact.
Thus far, we have but
touched on the amiable disposition
of the porcine quadruped who gazes
up when we encounter him, with
an innocent, let-me-alone-I-won’t-
do-any-harm, kiudofalook. The
worst of it is that he belies his
looks; as, we have no sooner turned
our backs, than lie is diligently at
work raising the foundation of the
farm or garden. As a labor-saving
machine, the hog is a success.
He is always energetic in his
desire to lighten the duties of his
owner, and, if permitted, will re
main faithful at his post
There
are different kinds of hog. There
is the hog, spoken of above; the
Chinee hog; the Guinea-pig— hog;
the “root hog or die” — hog; but,
worst of all is the biped hog. He
is the forerunner and herald of all
other hogs. ’Tis he that opens the
gate and leaves it so that the
beasts of the field may run riot in
the garden of the husbandman.
Bewaie of this liog as you would
beware of fire. Malice is imbed
ded in his heart, and destruction
is his highest attribute.
Watch
him—give him no opportunity to
insert his diabolical nose in your
fcSeTYS, “ilieu, he may be unable
to revel in the satanic delight
which he takes in the misfortune
of others. Give the biped hog u
portion of your attention, then,
the quadruped will be of infinitely
less trouble, and you will have no
cause to regret it

We have struck it at last, and
cannot afford to waste the opportu
nity. Another missive has beeu
received with reference to our
course in the future, and the dire
consequences which will be the
effect of ignoring the writer’s
advice. We are, if unmindful, to
be visited with “ undying hatred,”
“ perpetual enmity,”
“ withering
contempt,” and a bunch of suiier-
fluous expletives more numerous
than polite. This thing is becom
ing monotonous; but, it may have
the effect of stirring our anatomy,
and enable us to take a correct
view of the situation.
We don’t
wither worth a cent, and, as for
“ undying hatred,” we would like
to entertain a specimen of that
commodity, to mix with the peace
able condition of the element by
which we are surrounded Cast
ing our eyes over the subscription
list, we fail in finding the name of
this virulent receptacle of “ undy
ing hatred:” this spasmodic con
tortionist in the labyrinth of tau
tological infinitesimals; this leaky
bag of windy, “ withering con
tempt.” No doubt, he borrows
the paper, and while he is too mean
to buy a copy, his aim is to domi
nate its columns.
What would
the world be without variety?
Let him send along his vindictive
specimens, aud not spare us. In
truth, we are but a rough sample
of the genus biped, consequently,
we need polishing; and as he re
veals a propensity for the business,
we will give him the job. Finally,
we remark that, his “ undying
hatred” aud all its concomitants
will have the same effect on us, as
a drop of water on the back of a
duck.
T h e A rrogn u re of P o v e rty an d
Iguurancc.
How frequently we come in con
tact with captious people, whose
chief delight is to be continually
finding fault, and for whom, could
we but deceive ourselves with the
idea that they were sincere, it
might be said that, there is noth
ing in the heavens above, or the
earth btlow, that will afford the
slightest
gratification.
When
poverty, ignorance and wealth be
come obtrusive, when they have
no regard for propriety or the feel
ings of those who consider the
amenities of life worth practicing,
they should be taught a lesson,
and the continuity of the reproof
will have the effect of opening
their eyes and expanding their
minds until they become convinced
of the folly of their abominable
course.
Wealthy people and
those who are educated, whether
wealthy or not, are seldom guilty
of rude behavior. We generally
find that rudeness and incivility
are practiced more by the upstart
— the fungus growth of a vagrant
hour—the loud, obtrusive disciple
of incipient bravado. We encoun
ter this element in all the walks of
life—the theatre—the ball-room—
the dining table—the church—in
fact, it penetrates and obstructs all
the avenues of our social structure.
Poverty and pride are uncongenial
bed-fellows. They are as trans
parent as glass, and reflect noth
ing but that which rebounds with
the rapidity of lightning, and re
veals the debasing nature of a too
conspicuous vulgarity.

“Honisoit que mal y p oise”
We have been trying to piy into
this mock sentiment, in the light
of some reflections that were cast
upon the merits and demerits of a
foot-race in which a lady took part,
on the Fourth. The maxim at
the head of this article says:
“ Evil to him who evil thinks.”
So say we. Why should a female
not enjoy the blessings of healthy
exercise,*and skip, jump, run, if
so inclined, as well os a male?
While we do not object to dancing,
let us ask this question: Is there
any
v more harm— is there as much
—in a vigorous, respectable run,
than there is in tho lascivious
proximity of the sexes while ca
vorting through the mazes of the
round dance? Away with this
false delicacy.
The Goddess of
Liberty is represented by the fig
ure of a w man.
Let woman,
then, be allowed to enjoy the sub
stance ns well as the symbol.
¡She has a perfect right to expand
her muscle and increase her vigor
as well as man.

Over the R i p h U ,
Cascade Locks, Or., July 5th ’84.
The government launch went
over the falls at 11 :30 this morn
ing. Those who saw tho little
craft go over the rapids will long
remember it, and especially those
who were aboard. She was taken
overby Capt E. B. Allcott, superin
tendent of the locks, and Maclmn,
the pilot of the government tow
boat, Vred. J. Caroll, assistant
engineer, and Chas. A. Ross were
all who were on board. It was a
dangerous undertaking.
Precau
tion was taken before she went
over, to put canvass over her front
part and board up her windows,
so that she would go over safely.
She shot the rapids in fine style,
but went out of sight in the water,
once. Messrs. Browny and Smith
were below the falls with a small
boat, ready to help those on board
in case anything should happen to
the little steamer. She will soon
be taken to Portland to be used by
Capt Powell on the lower river.
Everything is very quiet at the
locks. It is to be hoped that work
will soon commence agaia. If con
gress passes a good liberal sum of
money, it will not be many years
until the locks will be finished and
boats running up the river to the
Dalles. It is a pity that this great
work is left idle so long every
year, when so much work could
be done to advantage in low water.
Tlios. Hope.
