t . ws Vr KOiSEBURG REVIEW. FBI DAT, MA tit! II Gtli, 1885. Very Pcclish. Gditrse- V. are sori'V at the course jmisueil the "Standard." 'Indeed if such a bourse were general ly the Democratic journals, there would be some truth in the strictures of the. "Orogonian" as to the Son them Confederacy having cap tured the government. The jmpor that cannot speak with decency, v.e do net sven Bay-respech of Gen. Grant must in line ahy causa it seeks to uphold. The "Standard" puts the head "Dying of jim-jams" over its account of the piti ful condition of Ge.u Grunt, who is 'slowly hut surely being consumed by 'Cancer of the month. We ca:i think of no fate more terrible than the death by Cancffr. W know that the qreat heart of the American people goes out ' in sympathy to the great captain, so 'oftfcn victorious-, that at last but waits his conquering by the king of terrors. While we are in this vein we may pre sume also to tell the '"Orecrcnian " that 'its assumptions regarding the Southern 'ConfeAeracy bing- in control of the government ave not received even by its own party with any degree of pleas sire;, ' The pfc&pte arc tired of forever looking back. -.They, see before them a- bright future; they see now a re united people; they demand that the rat living issues that have sprung into existence since the war shall be ileal t with. By the aibitrament of the sword, they know the questions .that divided them havo been settled ' now and forever. Let us therefore in .- a spirit of brbtheilj love, in a sp;rit of common devotion to the Star Spangled Banner, in a spirit of true patriotism again pledga oursalves upon the altar wof out- common country and look for Inard! Tiik Washington monument is ' an unadorned and simple shaft of marble and granito rising five hundred and fty-five feet into the air. The marble used for its completion has come for the inost part from Maryland. The history ,of the monument is briery; A statue l Washington was proposed by con gress in 1783; the bill was revised and passed in December, 1799. The work was taken iu charge by some of th-3 citi . ztna of Washington in 1833. The corner-stone was laid July i, 1848, and the cap-stone was set December G, 1884. Tn otal weight of the immense shaft is 81,000 tons, and to ascend the nine hundred steps that lead to its snminic requires twenty minutes of steady en deavor. The total cost of, the com pleted structne will be about 1,500, O00, of which sum congress has appro priated $900,000. - Of the monument jentire the best judges say that it is majestic but ugly;- grand and in press, ive, but unsatisfying. It is, above all, unique; the world has not it3 fellow. There in, indeed, scarcely an obelisk jvorthy to be compared with it. The Democratic party has at last coma in control of the general govern tnent. It proposes to deal with the great question before the people at the present time. I: savs "Let. the dead, bury the dead." The new issues, the )iving principles now address us. The great questions of corporate power, of the rights of combined capital, of the pew issues developed by "the advance pi science appeal to us .with the force of absolute power. We must answer Patriotically, honestly, sincerely the people place their hands in the hand of Grover Cleveland and say we are with you as one man. Great is the task of Cleveland but great is ihe faith of the people. .. The Republicans iu 1877 insisted ery strongly that it was the absolute "right, power and duty of the President of the Senate to declare the result. "Edmunds lately insisted that he had not the riflht or power to do any such thing. His declaration was not in tended to cast any imputation upon the limit of the authority of the President '$f jthe Senate in the matter. The con troversy has nothing to -dp -with the finalty of the vote for, as Mr. Tlandall remarked: "The announcement elects and no ministerial function is necess ary." -Albany Argus, Decs. House bill 14, was passed by the legislature and signed by the Governor authorizing the several counties in dis cretion of their county courts to pay $he bounties for scalps of wild animals )m follows.

A correct under- btbidiug of this'" steuiinglp iishmico question, which is interwoven with the highest problems c human life, cannot be otherwise than of vast importance not only to those liable to become vic tim?, but to hociety at large. Especial ly will this bo true if the causes lie within tho province of human powei to ievcnt or even to mitigate their eiTocts. Permit iep, therefore, to lay before your readers a few common sense propositions bearing directly up on this subject. The biain is the organ of the mind. Thought, reason and all the mental and : moral emotions of the mind are the natural functions of the brain. Destroy or paralyze 'the organ and its functions ase. Weaken the bram and the power to perform its functions will be impaired or evercome. From these self evident proposition, it follows that ajiy and evt-ryv thing operating Ir.e physical irame; whose inherent cbrsoter, and its tendency is to weak en, paralyze or otherwise interfere with the function's of the brain, tends to injure the mind, pervert the moral faculties and lead to insanity and sui cide. Hence, if I am not greatly mis taken, (and it I am I will thank any one of the medical profession to set me right) all kinds of naicotics operate more or less directly upon the brain, producing stupor, r frenzy, delerium and insensibility, with a powerful ten dency to insanity. Pew persons who have had much experience with the sick under medical treatment but have se.n all the mental faculties of the mini so paralyzed .'with morphine, chloral, bromine ov other narcotics as to amount to temporary imbecility and complete aberiation of intellect; And it is a notorious fact of every day ob servation, that nircotic3 are in daily and constant use by the great majority of physicians. That taey are the chief reliance in all cases of nervour.nes iritability; restlessness, neuralgia, fever, infiaiiiatiba and sleeplessness. The mother is dosed with them, even the babo in her arms is not exempt from the debasing power of the brain de stroying narcotic. Thus tho intellect ual and moral organs of the brain is weakened and its functions destroyed. Like the pebble rolled in the Voriex of the whirlpool, is constantly losing particles from its. surfacc, and '-will eventually, however slowly, wear en tirely away into the Gnest.pai tides of sand; so with the functions of the brain under the use of narcotics. It is only a mailer cf time, and the quantity used, when they will S; weaken the brain as to render it utterly and hope lessly incapable o intellectual or moral functions a hopeless ruin. Since the abandonment of' blooil jetting by . tho modical profession, the use of narcotics have been vastly on the increase; and a number of new ones, of terrible potency have been ad ded to the list. Under tho power of these mighty engines of mischief, the physical, mental and moral powers are giving way and must inevetably suc cumb. Like nobis ship laden with precious freight, proudly riding the angry billows of a stormy ocean, the helm creaks and snaps asuuder -all control is lost she dashes on furiously in her wild career she is engulfed in the merciless waves she sinks, to rise no more. If these facts bo true; and I will thank him who can, to disprove them, narcotics are the chief cause of insanity byi virtue of their paralyzing effect on the intellectual organs cf the brain. They are also a prolific source cf the lowest debasement in morals by paral yzing the emotional organs of the brain, and thereby rendering them more or less incapable of performing moral functions. In cases where nar cotics have not overcome the power of the intellect and moral organs only to a very limited extent, the animal and sensual organs are lashed ints fury and such gigantic power as to usurp their full sway and complete control over all the nobler impulses of. the soul. Common Sense. The promised t new departure has come at last Cleveland has been in stalled as President. Retrenchment and reform are now demanded and ex pected. Let us give theadministiation a cordial and hearty support and lay the foundation f tho people's party strong and deep. Mccii depends upon the next tour years as to the future of our country. The Democracy must be wise and up hold tho cause ef the people. The 4th of March at Washington is described as being the grandest affair that ever took place in an American cit7.

They will go down iu history as an embod iment of inexcusable obstinaev. The Oregonian's editorial last Mon day on the "Xormal School fraud" was opportune, in only some respectq. That it is not in accord with our ideas of government, nor in harmony with' the great broad ideas of political economy, to give stalo aid to Normal schools; or any kind of school.', , except coninibii public S'.-hoolr, is becoming more appar ent every day But while twin's is tine and the cditoral refered to, justly cen tured such a course of legislative, pro ceeding, yet we certaimy think that the editor went a little out of the way to get a back handed slap at some relig ious institutions, which ifc seems he dislikes' so very much. HBgs WJJLA-M 111 Kate Field is writing some strong articles on the fruit of teveral months upent in Salt Lake in the study of mor muiiism. She looked on tho twin relic as a woman would, and she had excep tional opportunities for learning what Hie Mormon women really think of the creed under which they li e. Her con clusion after many talks 'with polyg amous wives and after listening to many sermons by the pillars ef the Church is that "a Mormon woman is an animal t9 replenish tho earth only this and nothing mor" Sho proves this assertion by many selections from the utterances of heads of the Church. One of the most striking is fiorn L'rig ham Young, who said: "Elders, never love your wives one hair's-biedth furth er than they adorn the Gospel; never love them-so but that you can leave them at a morneiit's warning without shedding' a tear. Should you love a child any more than this? No." The Mormon wemen, she declaiiv, believe implicitly in tho genuineness of their religion. If they did not, if the relig ous instinct did not rule them complete ly, they could never endure the brutal ity and lust which are the main features of ' polygamy. This article 'simply bears out the assertions of all dispas sionate observers of . Mormouism. It wouli be a irood tract to distribute in those parts of the country where the Mormon tider finds converts. Byrap ct T'iga. ' Nature's own true Laxative.
