' Another Warning.
Again we would call the attention of
,our citizens to the importance ot de
veloping our manufacturing interests.
To the capitalists of our to.wn' this is a
matter -of considerable importance.
There is no use to .blind ourselves to
the fact, that if the West-Side Railroad
crosses the La Creole a few miles be
low us it will, as a natural result take
away a large amount jof the business
now done here. It will be but a few
years, at best, before new Couuty Build
ings willbe needed, and when such is the
case the people of our sister town will
take the County seat away from us,
unless some steps are taken to keep a
balance of trade in our favor, lint one
recourse is left us. 3uilding up a
manufacturing interest. This can be
done &s well as uot, if our people will
but rouse themselves to the work. Un
limited water-power is at command,
which can be used for all kinds of man
ufacturing. Woolen mills, gr;s( and
saw mills, furniture factories, wagon
shops, ash and door manufactures,
and, in fact, a power can be brought
here which will run a sufficient amount
.of machinery to keep hundreds, if not
thousands, Qi persons in constant em
ployment. A town can be built here
upon a perpianent basis, that may rival
many of those who are now almost out
of our sight in the distance ahead. The
.capital is faerc to do this, if tho owners
will but use it iu that way. Will they
do this? If so, let them goto work now.
Now is the accepted time, and now is
the time to begin. By doing this otr
property will be enhanced iu value
your town will increase in population,
and, as a result, increase in busincs
until we may have a populous conimu
nty of industrious, contented people
The rattle of machinery, the wnirp of
lgpms and the hum of busy voices
through the week, will be a prelude to
the peace and quiet of the Stbbath, and
permanent prosperity be the result,
UC ITJXXY.
How funny, that the Democracy
should cry out in fear of a military des
potism in a country of 40,000,000 of
people and a standing army of only 20,
000.
IJow funny, that tbey should raise a
warning voice to the people, to guard
against financial ruin, when the National
Debt is'being rapidly diminished, and
the standard value of American bonds
in JTurope rising with unprecedented
rapidity.
How funny, that grumbling and
fault-finding should be indulged in to
the extent that it is, without showing
any way of bettering the condition of
affairs.
How funny, that they should laud
the operations of Andrew Jackson, aud
then blame Grant for following his ex
ample on a small scale, in the appoint
ment of officers.
How funny, that they should claim
that the Republican party is on the de'
cline, and yet in case Grant gets the
Domination of the Republican party,
be willing to unite under the leadership
of any disaffected Republican to defoat
him.
How funny, that they should under
take to carry on a contest during the
next campaign, when their own actions
as well as all other signs, indicate a Ko
publican victory so unmistakably as to
be a foregone conclusion.
Education.- It is gratifying to see
the interest manifested by our ex
changes in the cause of education
Some months ago we commenced advo
cating the doctrine of Compulsory Ed
ucation. We stood alone among the
papers on the Pacific coast, on this for
some time. Gradually our con tempo
rarics came to our support, At first
timidly, then -more frankly, and now
we are glad to see some of the best pa
pers of this coast coming out boldly iu
favor of this doctrine. We recommend
to the perusal of our readers the article
on our first page entitled, " Compulsory
Education," from the Pogct Sound
Courier,
The Russian Grand Duke. Alexis
has been granted four months longer
leave of absence by his Imperial pepa
and. after his grand buffalo hunt with
Gen. Rhil. Sheridan, he may visit the
Pacific Coast.
AFRAID OF REPUBLICANISM.
The Government of Denmark seeing
with an eye of jealousy the feeling of;
independence which has been, and is,
inspiring the Icelanders, has dispersed
the national As.eubly ot that country,
on the ground that the people were as
suming too much authority in the
management of their own affairs. The
Icelanders have tasted the sweet fruits
of independence, and are loth to lose
them. Iceland was an independent
republic, long before the light of Chris
tianity began to illuminate the north
ern portion of Europe. A representa
tive legislature first met in 930 and
chose a .President, the first instance of
this form of government. In the thir
teenth ceutury, the Island wes con-
quered by the Norwegians aud remained
uuder their sway and that of the Danes j
until 1809, when Jorgenson established
a short-lived republic. This was brokeu
up by the British in the same year, and
the Island again delivered over to tho
Danes. Though nominally under Da
nish rule, yet, since 1825, tne legisla
ture has convened regularly in anuual
session. The action of ilie government
in dispersing tte legislature has roused
the indignation of the people almost
to rebellion, and it would not be sur
prisibg if they should make a bold
t-trike for independence. So strong U
the feeling for liberty, that when once
implanted it is seldom, if ever, wholly
eradicated, aud monarchies have to keep
on the alert to prevent the advanpe of
Republicanism.
THIS lyU kl.LX.
The Democratic press, as well as
members of that party, have continu
ally been contending that the Ku Klux
outrages as reported in the papers wa
trumped up, and all false. That it was
done for pure political effect. Gradu
ally, however, evidence is beitg brought
out which proves that the charges are
not all false. Revcrdy Johnson comes
out and gives in his evidence iu the
matter; it is firm uud uumistakable. lie
says :
1 have listened with horror to som.
of the testimony which hu been brought
before you. The outran proved have
been .shocking to humanity , They ad
mit of nu justification or excuse; they
violate every obligation which law and
nature imposes upon men. These men
appear to have been alike iuseusible to
the obligations of humanity and re
gion : but the day will com, however.
if it has not already arrived, when they
will deeply lament it. Even if justice
should not overtake them, there is an
other tribunal from which there is no
escape. It is the r awn conscience, that
tribunal which sits in the breast of
every living man, that still small voice
that thrill through the heart, and as
it speaks gives happiness or torture
the voice of conscience the voice of
God. And if it has not already spoken
to them in tones which have waked
them up to the enormity of their con
duct, I trust iu the mercy of heaven
that a voice will speak before they shall
be called to the dread tribunal to ac
count for their transactions in this
world"
The circumstances under which this
statement was made were such as to
preclude all chaige that he was preju
diced against those gangs. He was
acting as counsel for a party charged
with committing outrages, and being
conservative in sentiment, it is not to be
conjectured that ho would overpicturc
the facts in the case.

WOOL.
From Abo annual Wool Circular of
McLennan, Whelan & Grisar, we learn
that during the year 1871, the wool re
ceipts of 'San Francisco were 29,791
bales, or 23,473,049 pounds. The
shipment of wool from Oregon has in
creased from 429,400 pounds in 1808,
to 1,404,900 pounds in 1870. The
value of wool receipts in San Francisco
for the year was SG,005,132. Concern
ing Oregon wool, the Circular says :
Its condition is not so good as in
former years. Some lots were of tender
staple and of poor texture.
Formerly Oregon wool was character
ized by freedom from burrs, seed and
tags ; it wag lustrous and well adapted
for combing purposes. Since then the
uature of this wool has completely
changed, and with the exception of a
few privileged counties where tho breed
ing has been better attended to, it does
not any longer yield any combing , or
delaines, and on the average it is not as
good as our choice California.
We have worked hard and faithfully
for the last fourteen years, as our cir
culars and advices will show, to imprest
upon our floekniasters the importance
of honest packing. Most of them have
heeded our advice, but yet we have
had to notice some gross cases of fraud,
such as corral dirt hidden in the mid
dle of the fleeces, taglocks tied up to
simulate fleeces, sand thrown iu between
layers of wool, wet fleeces packed
among dry oues, etc , etc.
We deuouuee openly these dishonest
actions, aud assure the guilty parties
that we intend to show no mercy in
grading
To prove the importance to shippers
of always having their wools graded,
we will state that this Spring we have
been called upon to reject from the
wools handled by us a trifle less than
four per ceut. for . wet or defective
wools.
This item alone compensated nearly
the whole cost of grading and pack-
ItliT.
We are sorry to have to cotice that
this year,probably upon the inducement
of the prevailing high prices, the fraud
haye bteu more uumerous thau ever.
The partnership heretofore existing
between McLennan.Whelaiu't Grisar, is
dissolved and the business is hereafter
