Tho cxaot amount of (ho indebted ness or Unjon county is, no doubt, considerable, but not so great as omo, from mollyoN of porsoual in torost or political aggrandi.emeu, would llko to liuvo it appear, Wo believe, judging from ro?ont inves' tlgatlous that hayo been made, that tho indebtedness will fall at loast twonty thousand dollars sort of the amount roported by tho expert recent' Jy oinployod to investigato tho mattpr, -winch is no iucqnsidorablo sum in Itself. While tho amount of our in dobtednoss is largo, and might, bv strict ndhoronen to tho principles of economy, have boon loss, wo do not think any of our readers will bcliovo with our Iju Qrando contemporary, that tbo proseut stato of affairs has boon brought .about in couseqponco of tho dominauco of any parlioular political party, It Is true that during the time Union has beon doing btisi liess as n county, it has boon consid ered democratic, but it is equally true that inuny republicans liuvo held re sponsible olltcos, and takou very promluont parts in the government of the oounty. Wo do not bollevo with tho Argus that our political op ponents nro all a sot of thioves, whom to loavo in power would bo to jeopar dize our political and social institu tions, and glvo tho country over to ruin, Tho expression of such senti ments, ospeoially whou applied to county affairs, betrays tho unballancod . . . . i i j, i .. . lntouoci or mo craiiK, anu ruucciH uu credit on tho organ giving U utter anco, or tho party it advocates.

Ir was probably for no phcr reason than tho hopo of annoying us that iho Argu x said last week that "the Scout has even gono so far as to give consent for tho Wallowa to depart in pcaco, freed from any burdensflof the county debt." lip knew (h" statement was uttcily falso. Wc have no groat interest in tho division of the county, It is a matter of more interest to tho Wallowa people than thoso of any other spction, and when tboy get ready to go we have no ob jection to their doing so in a just and equitable manner. We have no idea tboy wjsh to go in any other way. Si;m:uai, of tip State Legislatures havo bills on their calendars to estab lish ollicial boards of arbitration for thn niljustiuunt of disputes between employers and employes, Tho idea is partially in operation in Ohio, where ollicial sanction is given to such boards voluntarily formod, and it is said to work satisfactorilv, as in the rocont case, for example, whore Judge Thiirnian was chosen to arbi trate tho controversy bntvvcon the owners of certain coal mines and their work-mop, our It is announced from Washington that the members of (he Coinage Conmilttoo of tho IIouso of Jtcprosout- ativos. who are unalterably opposed to suspension of silver coinage, nro Bland of Missouri, AlcCrcary of Ken tucky, Hariium of Indiana, Lauham of Texas, Fuller of Iowa, Feltou of California and Norwood of Georgia. Plieso comprise a majority of tho committee and they will stand uv silver tlrst, last and all the time, in fact favor tho unlimited coinage of tho metal. Tukuu is n fooling of uneasiness existing at Portland over tho anti- Chinese feeling existing on the coast. An outbreak may possibly occur there at a:iy timu, but it is hardly probable that a mob would escape so easily in that city as it did at Seattle. Sunatok Mrrciiui.i., of this State, has inlrooured u bill providing for tho repeal of all tro-itics permitting the coming of Chinese to tho United Slnto9, and prohibiting their coining except in case of diplomatic and olli cial personages. It has been suggested that the trouble at Seallle grow tut of the jealousy existing between that city and Taeoma.
