The La Graude Sentinel says : The
fVilliamette valley is all aLlazo with
the fire of Grangers. It may be so, but
it is new here.
It is really pitiable to witness
the attempt of the Bulletin, to cover
up, with its short handled rusty shovel,
the filth of its own rinjrs, bv its
tjeacnt attack upon independent jour
palism and honest men, under the
hea(d of, "partyisin." How true it is
that men become weak, just in propor
tion to their proncness to corruption.
i 1 .. j
CORHUPTION.
The Oregpnian has an article over a
column in length, undor the caption,
'are all public men dishonest and cor
rnpt". The article labors to pursuade
the people that, but very few of their
Pfylij? jseraut;j are corrupt and dishon
est, and really we do not exactly see at
first sight what our friend h driving at
seems to imagine, that heretofore he
has exercised too little charity; perhaps
e has, but aus he has asked the ques
tion, "are all public men corrupt?" and
Las failed in his lung article to answer
it to our satisfaction, n?c will simply
suggest to the Oregonian, that in all
human probability, judging frem
present appearenccs, a large majority of
the peoples servants, at the present
time arc very corrupt, and if the
Oregonian is troubled iu the leust
with scepticism iu reSerenee to that
proposition, we kindly refer the editor
to the aet of a majority of the la-t
Congrers, urged on by such men as
Attorney General "Williams, and if -eluding
President Grant, putting their
hands deliberately into the treasury
of the United States, and stealing
from the people hundreds of thousands
at one grab. It may be that the
Oregonian will deny that such fl
crime has been committed by a
majority of the peoples servants, if
he will, than every ll:public.n State
Convention that has meet since the
passage of the salary bill, has been
osaposei of a hand of liars, for thej
all have proclaimed it. The truth
is, tb.3 hotiest men found among the
servants of the people at the present
day, are the exceptions, for in general
they are as corrupt as Jit 11 itself
Take the appointees in Oregon to
day, of the man you have cajsariscd,
and who of his own free will and
choice, sigued the bill you have de
nounced a3 a thieving measure, aud
who, of all of them, arc you willing
to yesct. for his honesty.

The fire in Portland last week de
stroyed property to the value of ovi r
one million dollars, burning over about
tweuty two Blocks. The burnt dis
trict lies between the river and third
street and between Clay aud Alder
streets. This is a great blow to Port
land and the State, and it will take
years to repair the loss. Portland
lies on the iltarcctte .ijcy, is there
no way by which water enough can be
applied to extinguish Are.
Senator Mitchell was in Salem a
few days since, we supposo on his way
to Eugene to dictate to the State
Central Committee to where and
how, the Convention should be held
nd managed. Wo presume he will
. order it held at Portland, so as to
have the benefit of the burnt district'.
Go in Mitchell you will fi.id the
grand worshippers, as gullible as ever.

in Concress before the close of the

sctsion. They wanted to get their
wages up to $10,000 a year. They
commenced by concluding that the
Vxei)i(lgu$ shoujd jiave $0,000 a year
instead of 25,000, which had been
the standard pay for tho cxecutivo of
the nation so many ycara. They
finally passed the bill doubling the
President's salary and giving them
selves 7,500 a year, counting back
ward for the two years of their term
So they obtained what they struck lor
This was a peculiar strike. The men
flrho held the purso and ordered the
pay of '.he hands, struck to take more
pay for themselves. It did not look very
' - much like a cashier
op-cuing a till apt helping himself to
what pay he wanted to increase his
salary ; but it was Cotigrcss, and there
was no help.
Seriously, this example of Congre?a
is one fraught with mischief of far
greater magnitude than is generally
recognized. The government can pay
these high salaries without much
trouble, and the consciences of the mem
bers of Congress cortainly are not
much troubled about taking all they
can get; but the example is a bad one
and extends through our whole society.
Extravagance in governmental circles
creates a desire to be
extravagant
throughout the country.
Iu tha early days of the Republic
extravagance wad not encouraged,
and the lyhtdc people lived on their
income, without overreaching and
stealing. Salaries were regulated ac
cording to the expense of living. The
Treasury Department in 179!) instituted
inquiries as to the cost of supporting a
genteel lamily iu Washington, and the
estimate returned placed the amount at
.'5,519 97 for the years 17SD, 1790 and
1791, raising to 4,10a GO 'in 1792
179;. Among the items included,
showing tho stile of living on which
the estimate was based, were the
keeping of two hoses, aud the wages
of fourscrvanki. Ifence Con'jrresmn in
1S72 must needs have$7,50Q per annum,
with pickings and stealings besides, as
they all, of course, keep two horses and
four servants, to say nothing of other
conveniences.
Of course, living is not po cheap as
in the oldfishioned d.iy, but t re is
no necessity for this alarmiug i?icraa.e
of extravagance. Luxury and extrava
gant living have bc;ri the forerunners
of the downfall of former Henbhc.
and we have no doubt that our He
parture from the simplicity of former
days i hurrying us into the same road
that brought other nations to ruin
Like causes produce like tlTjots at :!!
times. Why 1 should a Congressman
need $21 a dny where a fo.w years as
he was glad to get lli nectary
expenses hava not increased in that f
ratio by any mean. It is the iiitt)t
tient desire to get rich out of tho
public treasury, and to be able to mike
an eilravagant appearence. Thc
example becomes contagious, and tht
business man seetrH to imitate thc fast
living of his Congressmen. If e rushes
into business recklessly and end- in
crime or in the most question iblc k ind

America look to their oppoiutcd or

thc interest of tho nation. When thoy
find their servants stealing they ought
to really and turn them out. Tho au
thors of this "grab" ought to be ex

who voted to help thsmselvcs to tho

Wo will venture tho statement, that
each and every one of the authors and
defenders of that act is sadly deficien

There is a very wide discrepancy
between theory and practice in the
administration of the Civil Service
reform, in that thc new regulations are
enforced in some cases while in others
they aro ignominieusly set aside.
Without displaying tho motives of iu
advocates, it mav be well for us to
inquire,-if there be not some inherent
weakness in the theories upon which
this attempted icform has been based.
The indecent clamor, whenever there
is a change in the aduitustration, from
tho hungry politicians, who Hock to
the Capitol )y thousands, and wIiokc
cravings nothing can satisfy but office,
aud the never-failing streams of appli
cations for places, were enough to- set
the rulers of the nation at devising
fcome luoth'od for avoiding this tax
upou their strength, time, and good
nature. The device of holding com
petitive examainations was hit upon,
and it not only pro:rii.od a rem-jdv for
tho evils mentioned, but had an
attractive appearance of fairness iu
giving the ofiicui to those .vho were
best qualified to fill them. Wherein
his device has failed I will endeavor
t
o show, and siake a suggestion or two
as to bow this reform might te brought
about without any rules, regulations

Examining Hoard travel Irotn eit) to

the residents of tho cities visited will
havo opportunities for testing their
ability to pass the ordeal, and failure?
will cause them no grcator loss than
their time. Not eo tho youthful
ariphant who chances to live in the
country,- or iu cotuo tuv;u not favored
with a visit from the liourd. So far as
they aro concerned the exominatio-i
might as well bo held exclusively iu
Washington, for they will have travel
ing expenses and board bills to pay
wherever they go. The expense, and
the fear of failure, may keep many of
them as home, and, perhaps, that may
be considered as thc strongest point in
favor of the new system.
That abuses have arisen from thc
practice of making appuintmeuts on
recommendation of members of Con
gress no one denies, but it has this in
its favor, that the offices aro more
widely distributed than under tho new
regime. Justice requires that all
sections bo equally represented in tho
Civil Servico And may we not con
sider thi.i as au important factor in
wearing off the sharp corners of sec
tional prejudices and animosities, and
rendering us a homogeneous people.
That agency, however insignificant,
which tends to bring tho people of
different sections iu coutact with each
other, will meet the approval of all
thinking men. Congressmen bhould
exercise discreiiuanation in their
recommendations, and, by proper
inquiry in their respective districts
asccrtaiu tho fitness of applicants for
position. Ifincapahlcs are at any time
foisted upon the government, thc
remedy of dismissal icmains.
Sinecures should no longer be tolcra
ed If there be a staudard in regard
to what constitutes a day's work, which
is too low, increase the amount of work
or number of hours of labor. Thc pay
should be f-'o adjusted that pi aces wil
not be sought after so eugerly Th
government should not pay a greater
salary than individual employers' arc
accustomed to pay their bookkeeper
and cnneqondents for the game grade
of work. These Mnployed should
understand that their position is a
perii'.anmt one, if they choose to
remain ; or, in other words, competent
clerks should be retained during lift
er good Ithawor. Of course no
discharge for merely jmllt'teal reasons
cou!d be tolerated. .More trouble
has arisen from making discharges oc
frivolous pretexts, for the sole purpose
ofcrcatiug vacancies for new corners
than fioiu all other sources combined.
1 la n. in concluiit'ti, we will fay, thc
mode of tq-poii.tmint is of least ef n se
quence, td reform should hjt rutin r
to prevention of arbitrary dismissals
than to sniy educational or other test as
a qualification for office Contributed
