Barker, brother of Hon. Jesse N. and Wood ville Barker, bad departed this life at the former named brother's residence n t.ha 29th ult. at the age of 39 years. The deceased was related to many of our prominent citizens other than the two named, and was a gentleman and n honest man. beloved by all who knew him. He belived iu the Chris tian faith, and was nn active member f th M. E. Church South for several wanratmat. Thouirh one of God's af- fl icted children, it seemed that his was a pure heart at the beginning of his life, and that the heart ruitwi me niu while livinjr. Esrly in life be became r.f thD Meter's followers, and through the years that came after to (. moment when life separated body and soul, he remained steadfast a lover Mh Bible and a firm believer in us sublime teaching. .;.!;'. His manv sorrowing friends and rel deDlore their loss in his death. We do not see why they should be oast down. There is every reason to relieve that the epirit of the departed dr not resrret the change. Nothing dies but that a new life shnl! come. rinwnrs wither and decay ; their per fnm iranders through, space forever and their germs grow and ptoduce new flowers.

This, all who kaew him believes, is the onlv chantre that has taken place in the loved and the i departed.

We have also argued and . urged that the purpose of Fink A Uazley was Hom ing less than the purpose ot men who scheme to rob the people, and that the ring was not composed of demo- crtits alone, but also, of republicans, so regardless of party principles as to te willing to sacriSce party interests wnen it came to a question of filli Dg their own pockets. We have also pointea to tne fact that the democratic and republican papers had joined together to aid the ring in its work, botn sacrificing party to secure better-paying masters than in the persons of t ink 4 Uaaiey ana members or tne ring. ve nvue- fended Sol. Abraham and W. JR. Willis in thwr rights, as we have only other citizens when they were, right We have submitted to attacKs irom the ring that has more than once at tempted to bulldose us, and we made no reply in order to avoid a pentuuai warfare.

Abraham, and propose to agst mm lor nolltinal : nu rrQiwB and .what dsn? The answer is as ready as the question aaifea mat rina waaiey may farther their selfish ends. And both the so-called democratic organs have been Helping tne ring, ana as Fink A Galley dictated, they have done their beat to make tt warm for Solomon. Oh, the deception there Is In the rascals! They have called ua a personal organ when they are but tools themselves. With so little as thev have Dossessed to base their charges upon they have accused us of their own crime. They believed we like them in their einninir : for thev could not but judge as by themselves since their egotistical, sinful nature would not permit them to know any thine else. While we were nussled at first, we could not help thinking we smelled the devil in ihe amoke maae by his imps. And now the truth has come not only In proof of the rotten nees of the ring, iu proof of how Fink a Oazley are working to make the two parties submissive to the carrying out of their own individual ends, in proof of the submission of the Star and Plain- dealer to their purposes, in proof of the conbination entered into by the repub licans and democrats in the ring, but in proof of the skillful plan made by the ring to force the free people of Doaglas county, through low cunning and secret plottings, to bow down be neath the ring's yoke atr the election and thereafter for two year's, wltn Fiuk King, and Gaaly the power behind the throne. It is sad to realize that a party which sprang from so noble and glorious a temple as that in which the reas n of the immortal Thonuus Jefferson found a temporal home, should be so pros tituted, to the base purposes of two Belfish schemers It is a shame that those who advocate the ideas of the great and glorious Alexander Hamil- ton, and by following their truths, pray and hope for a republic with a life everlasting, they too must bow down and act as Fink Waziey two plotters in Douglas county, in a siuail precinct, aud small town, in a new and young State, and to coutrol one little pitiful lawsuit, snail pro nounce. What is more are jot the taxpayers' interests to be considered 1 It seems not so. While many good men's names are included in tiie ring's slate (in order only to give the riag's ticket evidence of resecUbiIity) only n fir lioa the riuff pUnned for the people. In the letU r good, and hon orable men's names are uyi; but it is tl.rouu'h compulsion the ring's man I Fridav sneaks of such men. Were h romres aHoe-ethsr mimed npouone ticket the traud upon the people would be to transimrar.t. Half will bo put imon one ticket, half upon the oth. r, aud through the love the people have for the Drincioles enunciated by the two great leaders and by swapping and trading', it Is planned that all tlie rosmes will cet offlc, only exciting th honest men elected who must be supported in order to hide the wrong worked for. The honest democrats and the honest republicans spoken cf in Fink A Gazley's private secretary's letter need not feel uneasy because they have been named in connection with the ring's candidates. I hey must remember that after the ring's rk la completed there yet remains a power iu the hands or tbe electors or thi countv far irreater than all that King Fiuk controls behind his throne. tIih ncoole will have the last say ; and don't fear. 1 he farmers and taxpay have lone aero learned how to sep arate the grain from the chaff. Tbe rvinirwill not be forgotteu ; and o miotakn the temper Of our people if they do not remember the ring and its candidates.

Beady for We, the people of this remote corner of Douglas: county, have but little to say or do in politics though we feel the effects of taxes to a certain extent; and if we do not Bay much we have kept up a terrible thinking and once in a while srlve vent to our feelings by giving, fine majority tojthose whom we fifil are cnod. honest men. as We did two years asro and intend to next June. We have watched the course of our present board, and find by the present standing of the couuty nnan ces that our efforts are not in vain, findlnsr that they have liquidated, or nearly so, a debt that has been hang ing over our county for some years. We heart; I v endorse the proceedings of the county board and we propose to try by the same means wltn wnicn we helped to place in office a majority of the present board, another of equal value to the couuty that tne present has been. j Further, we have studtBdVcarefally the proctiediogs of the Independent Central Committee, and heartily endorse the resolutions of that body. If democrats place in nomination their honest and efficient men they may expect a majority froml this precinct If the republicans do they may expect to carry it. So you sie we have dis carded party lints and propose acting in the interest of the people and not party. We do not ask anything out either nirtv only that in placing in nomination men they may remember that we are a tax navinff Dreclnot and if they leave us out we will think they have slighted us.

Tt is well understood that the rules of the order prescribe the discussion of pariy politics in its meetings ; but that is ffequently misunderstood. There Is no reason why all subjects of political Important uhould not be discussed on their merits, of course avoiding parti- zan features. No party has a mo nopoly of principle and it Is principle that the pKph are entitled to discuss, and should be difcuw-ed in the grange. It is lamentably true that the great political organization" are now en gaged in a pcramble for place and power ; and that neither dare assert any definite policy from which any portion of voters could seriously dis sent. Therefore, they hold their prin ciples, more or lees, in common. And the people of Oregon have Interests to be maintained ; it is well enough, in vtew of the measures of the general election, that popular interests should be manifested in discussion of princi ples and selections of men to carry them out. The producers have the great burden of the state to carrjr on their shoulders, and they can better af ford to act harmoniously together for i their own best interests than to be di viding and warring through their memberships of old political parties. Tlie narepr of parties shows how little the people have to expect from them and how much they have to expect The politician is found in the ring aud the ring seeks allies anywhere.

This reaper h&s pwHed fhrotirfh eight harvests, during the first three of which it was mainly fumiohod for tbe European tnt'.'e, having been generally introduced to the home trade in 1873 in response to a growing demand in many sections ror a nrst class reel-rake reaper. It has made for itself a most brilliant record, and one to which each succeeding year has added new laurels; its sales, both for- eien and domestic, during tne penou named, having reached an unpre- cedenliy large numocr, can oe caiieu The Reaper of the Period. They manufactured and sold in 1879 at least tnree times me numoer oi these manors made in anv previous year, nnd the increase for 1880 prom ises to be equally large.. We call the attention of the public to the following points of excellence: lilt; at n ivy i stjccaa a vuun vn .iia, the raking In 1873 they added to this reaper what they term the "auto matic gear," which comprises a train i . i i s oi Buiaii eurs u.iLupttcuy eucaoeu ... a rrsui lici v at. tlii riisl.t. hand of fl.a driver's seat. This train of gears ab solutely controls the successive action cf the rakes; aud by means of a lever connected with it, the driver in his s-:at, and without stopping the ma chine, cau set this device so that every alternate raKe will act an a rake, aud every alternate rake act as a beater; or so that every fourth rake will n.r.1. na ft r xii anil t.hA ntixt throA set as beaters; or so that every fifth rake wiil art as a rake, aud the next four act as beaters. Although the automatic gear thus Independently regulates the raking accordingly as it is set, tne o.-.ver can nevertheless, by means of a treadle operated by his foot, bold the g tvel on the piatiorm as long as ne cuooses, or wtiueiuri.iiigeori-.erB.
