Newspaper Page Textr.. . Tp WEEKLY OREGON SCOUT. . . . .. ... . . - JUJON, OKEGOX, SAT, OPT 3, 1865 f" tfaira. Fajrs of porno description have been jn yogtjo almost sinco time was and n6 tloubt will continuo to tho beginning pf eternity. Tho? arc of groat advan tage to every section of country in TvJiicli tlioy arc bold wlicn properly nianagod. Tlioy bsivp a tendejieytp pneourago tbo raising of a'bettor class of stock by bringing togothcr tbo mqro improved breed for inspection . Thoy encourago bettor skill in agricultural pursuits, and in all tbo workmanship ,of mechanics and of tbo arts. Fairs "when properly managed will always prove a success in tbo mattor of exhi bitions, if not of pecuniary bojicfit, but whon made a means by which the managers can favor ihoir favored pets to tbo exclusion of worth and morit, their influence for good ceases. This is too often lbq case, both at our State fair andsomo of our county fairs. When Pttrli dishonorable practices are resorted to, pcoplo invariably lose interest in them and do not hesitate to i?pcak (Loir sentiments oponly and ribovo board. Wo sincerely hope the 'management of Union , County Agri cultural Association have wonted faith fully to further tbo interests of our fair, and that their labors have been crowned with success. Mr. TCandaj.i, is in an embarrassing ciluation, Ho announced publicly in May tjiat ho was u favor of "tariff reform," without going into partic ulars. But now appears in tbo maga zine called Dixie, published at Atlanta, An article bearing Mr. BaiulalFs sig nature, in which ho is mndo to cay, ' ' J favor a total abolition of our intcr suil rcvenuo system." Tbo kind of tariff reform which this declaration jn folvcc is plainly an inprcaso of tbo flutics. Mr. Bandall 1ms thought it Worth while to deny tbo authorship of tbo article, but the publisbors of $ho magazine say that tboy applied to Mr. Randall for an articlo on tbo tariff find received under his frank tbo man uscript to which tboy attached bis Maine. Ho is thcroforp responsible Tor tbo articlo, whdlhor bo wrote it or not. His plan appears to bo to provont any real reform of tho tariff by proposing to repeal tho internal taxes. Jlut thou, why did ho profess to favor tariff lpform ? rrqflts In IJcetf., " A farmer in raising bcotufttS.COpor ton tor n factory, "whoro ho raises .'twonty tons to tho aero , can easjlytslcar j'$2f.50 per ton', or $50 por aero. Jf tho yioltlis under twenty tons his profit, Vill be proportionately a littlp less, and abovo twenty tons bis pro tits wijl bo moro in proportion. Qn a.' thirtyr tqn yield his profits arc S"8 per ncro, which is about as profitable a crop as can bo raised, taking pno ypar with another and tbo qhanccs of ap uncer tain market. Besides, tho hnct criop copies on when othor work is disposed of Tho planting of the beet copies when tbo grain-sowing is over and befyro tho haying season, then tho best harvest comes just after the grain harvest and jusi before tho plowing season. Jt makes a flnn chango for tbo laud, and tho rotation from bpets to grain or onions and potatoes is bet ter jtlian a yoar's rest to tjic soil , Tho price of sugar baying advanced two cents por pound in 0110 day last week, it may bo well for Oregon farmery to thoroughly test tho ability of tho soil and cbjnato to produce the sugar beet With a view to, tlio cstrblisbmcnt pf 0110 or moro beet sugar factories in Oregon, thus creating a now nnd val uable industry, which would afford employment to many pcoplo and cause an annual saving cf thousands of dol lars to tho Stato. Refined sugar? arc retailing in England nt five cents per pound, an evidence that somolhing is wrong in qui' ppjitical economy. t l'laindcalor, Onct upon a tinio a certain man got piad with the editor and stopped his fciaper. Tho next week ho sold his Corn at four cont's below tho market UJco. Thou his property was sold for taxes, bpcausoho didn't read tho Sher iff's sale. Ho was arrested and fined eight dollars for going hunting on Sunday, simply because bo didn't Know it was Sunday, and ho paid $IiO for a lot of forged notes that had boon Advertised two weeks and tho public Cautioned not to ncgotiato for thorn. 'To then paid a big Irishman, with a foot liko a forgo hummer, to kick him .ill tho way to (bo uowspapor olllco, Whoro he paid four years' subscription in advance, am had the editor sign an figrcomcnt to knock him down and rob h'un if ho ever ordered his paper stop ped again. Such s llfo without a newspaper. A correspondent of tho Portland flows says: Tho l.ito Legislature (acts 1S8,", pages 82 and 100 inclusivo) ro pealod all election laws of this Slate. And enacted a new law on that subject. Jn this now act it is provided in tho 1 rat section that tho first goneral elec tion in this Stato shall bo hold on tho 5 'first Monday in Juno, J88fi. This, fbpn, fixes our noxt gonoral Stato olcc ilon in Oregon on tho first Monday in Tunc, 1K87, or ono year after tho ex piration of tbo four years for which pur Governor and other Stato ofiloors wore elected, and over threo months after tho expiration of tho term of 1 Ion . Binger Hermann in Congress, llonco, should thcro bo a spocial session of tho fiftieth Congress our Stato would bo Without any roprosontatlou whatovor in the National llouso of Boprosflnta-lives. Tbo Republican Stato Central Com mittee of Mississippi have decided not to attempt conducting a campaign. It is said comment upon tho political con ditions of a nation of so callod free people, when any parly cannot without fraud, violcnco and bloodshed be allowed to cast, their ballots and have them fairly counted at any election, cither State or national, and the point is all tho morp serious whon it is fully understood that it is only by the ajd or such conditions and such facts that the present administration was a possibil ity. Jf this administration never achieves any other famo, that which refers to tbo invention of terms of ex cuse or apology for the purposo of be fogging American intclligenco will nlono make it memorable. " Offensive partisanship" is now well understood as a hypocritical phraso having really no meaning, yet used as an excuse for romoving a Republican who has been a Republican in fact in ordor that his placo may bP filled with an equally offensive partisan Democrat. Thcro would bo no causo for complaint if this was promptly and honestly dono; but when ddho in connection with solemn assurances that tho civil service laws shall bo enforced and mugwumpory exalted to tbo sublinio position to which its supremo purity aspires it becomes disgustingly contemptible; : and tho people nro not such fools as to bo de ceived thoroby. Tho latest invention is "misconception Of duty" tho reason assigned by tlio President for pardon ing tho Cincinnati bulldozer, who, as Lioutonnut of tbo Police arrosted with out cause, warrant or authority, ono hundred and ton negroes nnd commit ted them to prison without examina tion; turning them out without trial tho moment tho polls wcro closed. For this ho was tried and sentencpd to ono year's imprisonment, but before half his titno expires tho man for whom ho committed tho outrago invents tho ex cuse and condones tho crime and par dons tho criminal, and in futuro whon an election outrage is nocossary to car ry a point or to servo the party ' 'Mis conception of duty" is a siifilciontox cuso for bulldosing and will iusuro a pardon at tho bands of tbo Chief Ex ecutive of tbo Nation, who holds his throno by, for and in consideration of such acts.rStandaid.
