UpIii? tiiiablt: to olitaln tasfc. on tlio strotith of the olllciul jtrustngc they expect to acquire they are forced to stay at home. In speaking of the Oregon ywamp land boortlers, Commissioner .Sparks faid, a few days ago, Hint the depart nieiit is usitijr .Mrcnilous efforts to break up the "robher ring" and ho added, "I think too we shall have home of tl mm in the harness before long. ' Sparks is a terror to evil doers. It makes one's head swim to think of the various tickets that will he poked in Ids face during the next presidential eam'paigu. ' Let's ee, wo will have u Republican ticket, n Demociatie ticket, Prohibitionist, Knights of La bor, (ireeuhack. Ilelvn Lockwood, and perhaps the Chiehago Anarchists will put up a man. There will cer tainly be plenty to select from. Wes ton Luailrr. It is said that President Phillips, or the Snake River Co, last, fall shipped a few sacks of the sand from one of the iuexhatistable bars at Darsey's ferry on the Snakeriverto the Omaha Smelt ingcompauy to try its process for tx- trading the gold aim that the machine they have accomplished the purpose. If this be true the Sn'iku river bars and the Oregon coast lauds will be ' worth more money than tlio mountain nines. Tho late llenry Ward Heechey once said that twenty millions of dollars m ii vlllaire does not make that village rich if it is tdl owned by two men; but if Hi it amount, is spread evenly all over the village then it is different. iMouey in tho hands of mie or two men is like a dunghheap in u barn yard. So long as it lies in amass it docs no good, but if it was only spread evenly on the laud how everything would grow. Monov Is llku snw. If it it is blown into drifts it blocks up tho highway and nobody can travel, but if it lies evenly distributed over all the ground it facilitates every man's travel. Wealth is good if dif fused but not if it is hoarded. The lea? the Union Pacific of the O. It. Hi X. Company's Hues has been eousuuiatcd. The Wall Street Daily micalor of tho -Villi says: ' Wo are enabled to anniiouuce at lust that the much vexed iputhtion relative to the control of the great railroad enter prises of tho extreme northwest has been virtually settled. The I'liiou Paellie through the action of its direc tors Saturday, will secure control of the Oregon Xuvigation and Oregon Transcontinental companies, also of t l.o Northern Paeille. President Adams will bo at the olllco of tho Oregon Transeontinilutal Company in this city to-day, and both ho and President Smith will sign the Oregon Transcdii tinautal lease. Then the entire matter will he completed. I.'nder tho lease the Oregon Navigation secure a guaranty from the Union Paellie of (i per cent on its entire capital A guaranty which tho I'nlon Paellie is able tocarry out . The lease is one of the limit im portant railroad transactions which lias occurred In a very long time., It s impossible to cntimnto I be advan tages which will result to properties interested. It is a largo scheme in em bryo. The result will bo of a most important character. PIIOIIJIIITIVX. Th$ fallowing is tho proposed pro hibitory mnondiueiit to the constitution of tho stale of Oregon, which the peo ple will vote for or against on tin Hth of November, next. Article Nl. Section Tho iiiiuui facturo, sale or giving away, or tho offering to give away, or tho keeping for silo any spirituous, vinous, malt, distilled, fermented, or any intoxicat ing Ihpioiv, vlmlover. Is prohibited in this stato, except for medicinal, (cioutlllo or mechanical purposes. See. -'. Tho legislative ussdmbly shall provide by law In whut manner, by whom, and at what place such lbjors, or any of them shall bo iimuu Inclined or sold or kept for sale for medleal, seleiitllle or mechanical jnti poes. Sec. It. This amendment shall take Olfeet nnd bo ill full force six montliH from tho date of its ratltlcatloU by tho electors. See. 4. Tho legislative assembly Mmll without delay, pass all ifccossary Jaws with sullleleut penalties necessary lo enforce this amendment. There can bo no doubt that tho general sentiment nuioug tho produc ing and rmpectubloclnssea of tho couu- try is favorable to prohibition, and the nmendment will probnbly pass. If it fails it will be on account of opposition by the floating population of the larger cities. A prohibitory law. if it could be enacted in such a manner as to really prohibit the sale and use of Intoxicating liquors would ho an in-e-tinmtile boon to humanity, but the fact remains that wherever it has been tried it has generally proved a failure. It is said that in Kansas there In a drug store near every hotel. A guest, who is athhvt quickly learns to provide himself with a physician's pre scription; he can buy a pint or a quart and it in the hotel if ho chose. Pre scriptions in blank with a phyiciau's name at the bottom, arc furnished by the book, and arc carried with the regularity of a railroad commutation ticket. The same "rum" drug store substitute for the saloon nourishes in Nc.w Kngland where prohibition laws exist. If the amendment should pass in Oicgon it will remain entirely with tho Legislative Assembly to decide whether It shall be a failure or not. If they pass such a law as will prevent, the liquor trallie from being transferred from the saloons to the drugstores, by placing druggists, physicians, and all (hose having the handling of it under oath and heavy bonds, ami allow cer tain inducements to informers, it may have the desired effect. Otherwise it will not, wrtii bi in 1 1 1 iiiiiirr-r-fr- "Washington Loiter. From our regular correspondent. April lo, 1887. Publi", attention is now concrjiitra ting upon tho national drill which is j to take place in tins city next mouth. The color lino crisis has been safely 1 nassed, the movement towards the ! re-organization of (lie local militia, putting the companies in a position to compete for tho priz.es, goes brisk ly forward, the securing of hotel ac comodations points to the fuel that the great assemblage of the Republic's militia, and of all who delight in thu military, will soon bo hero. Wash ington, fresh nnd charming in her new spring suit of green, will gladly wel come the thousands of visitors who will flock toiler reception im May, and, aside from all interest in tho drill It is worth a trip of any distance to see the most, beautiful city of Ameri ca in her best attire. The warm bright sunshine of Eas ter Monday seemed warmer and brighter in the neighborhood of the White House than anywhere else in the city. Thousands of children, without regard to race, color, or pre vious condition, thronged the grounds of thu chief magistrate for the purpose of rolling and "picking" eggs. It is an annual privilege custom that lias long accorded the youth of thediMrict. They have the entire freedom of the grounds on Easter Monday, They tr.ke possession early in the morning, bring their lunches and their nurses, roll themselves over the green sward when they are tired of rolling eggs, and never desert, the sport until night fall. One feature of the egg festival was its ellect upon tho afternoon re ception to the public at the White House. Many ot the festive little ones made free to enter and swelled the atteudauco to about 1 500 people. One llfth of that number is a pretty good crowd on those tri-wcekly occasions. The children were, I'.ugllsh, Irish, French and SpauMi, aerinaii. llaliau, Dutch and Oaunish. At first the president attempted to give each one a greet ing with some special remark, but this generous in tention was overcome in u few min utes and ere long he was trying to shako hands with three of them at a time. There J were humble white folks and aristocratic black folks, and they laid their hands in tho executive palm with eaqiial conhdeuce. Occa sionally a tow-'leaded boy, soiled and hot from his morning's sport would inarch up solemnly, put his dirty, 1 egg-smeared lingers in tho presidential hand, and thou slink off as though ho had douo .something lie was nshiuncd of. Probably the most absurd of all tho complaints made against civil service reform is the charge that it will lead to the establishment of an otllce-liold-ing aristocracy. Any ono who ex amines tho lists of thousand dollar seerettu jes of sonators, of committee clerks attached to both houses of con gress, of unclasslllcd olllccrs in tho dopurttuoutb herb iu "Wasbiugtou , aud of tho occupants :ot tho most comfor table berths in the custom houses, fed eral courts, the postal service, inter nal revenue and pension olllces tdl over the country, will be astonished at the number of sons, brothers cousins, nephews, sisters, nieces aud aunts who arc drawing incomes from tho public treasury. Only last week a senator's sou was appointed to bo chief of division in one tho Washington departments, aud another senator's sou received a clerical position under ttiolutcr-stato-cnmmcrco commission. This is not saying that the fact of one tilt iron's relationship to another ought to npctato us a bar to his otllulal aspi ration. But nil of thece above mon- tinned places nrc bevond the reach of tho eivil-servicc rules. It. would be seaicely possible for a more offensive form of aristocracy to obtain than this, which is under the old system of pat- ronage. Tlio new rules restrict ad mission to the civil service to persons j of approved education ami intelligence , extend to rich, and poor, weak and powerful alike, and give the gover mcul clci'K after his installation n sense of security so long as he doe's his work well and behaves himself in other rc I spcets.
