The intcr-state. coinii'orc.e law has
nlrcnily MiromplUheil roiiiu good. It
is fslntctl thai, tlio inimlt:r of iflle;

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

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,

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.
