"Wo icturit thttiiUs for t lie same, and will trv to he there. The Davenport Tlmcx man don't hcein to appreciate the noble qualillcs ofth baseball player. He says: Tim editorial tihility expended in account ing for the way in which various am bitions baseball teams lose, their grip is calculated to make the professional player imagine himself the most im portant man in the country that 1 provided the professional can read." The stockranehors down in Nevada nro jrouijr into alfalfa culture on a large scale. The Silver State says: "Nearly all the prominent farmers have cleared off new ground and owcd it to alfalfa this year, so that the acreage will he materially in creased. There is ill wiry good de mand for airalfa for fattening beeves , and the demand is increasing steadi ly." This is a pointer tor our Un ion county farmers. The editors of the U'alloiru Chief tain don't know why tho indebted ness of Union county should increase so much in a few months. It proba bly has not occurred to him that the indebtedness is perfectly stationary, and that other causes, such as the deliniuent taxes (of which Wallowa county was apportioned mid received her share some months ago) not being deducted, ct-j. The hallucination un der which brother Mc.Cullv seems to be laboring will gradually be dispelled. With this is.uo tho Scoi'T enters upon the fourth year of its existence. t is needless for us to expatiate on the rapid growth made by it during the last year, as it is apparent to overyone. The evidences of its pros perity are to be found on every page, mill in every column. Wo take this occasion to IhaiiK our many patrons for their liberal support, and our friends and correspondents for their zealous efforts in our behalf. We shall try and deserve their kindness, ami can assure them that it is fully appreciated AVith such assistance the .Scorr cannot help but grow powerful and prosper. It is reported from Washington that (here is it dlfffirenco of opinion of the members of the Inter-stnto Commerce Commission relalivo to the suspension of Miction four, which contains tho long and shoit haul cl,iu-o of the act. .Judge Coolcy and Colonel MorrWon nro said to favor the enforcement of tho act in its entirety, while tho other three members of tho Commission be lieve that so far as the southern roads are concerned the clause ought to hu permanently suspended. The time tor which tho clause was suspended on tho southern roads will expire on July nth, mid whethor tho Commiss ion will reach a delinite conclusion in regard to the matter hy that time is as vet uncertain.

Y., is interesting enough to form tli nli.t tifnnove . u hen he was a soldier in the Union war. one day while PnttiM-sciu became suddcnlv blind Ho wandered around helplessly ror some days, and being missed from the Camp, he was classed ns a dos-crter. , On his return to ICImlra his wife and children abandoin:d him on account, j prolfably. of his disposition to drunk- j euess. Kor eighteen years lie went ; begging nbout the town led liy a i f. ained shepherd dog, hi only friend Now the possession of amount of hi back pension, and the surety of a month during his life lime, has caused his family and for mer friends to rally around him to that degree that he is in danger of being reduced to returning to his former partnership with the dog, through their avarice and greed. He applied for a pension some years ago. but the dilllnulty of explaining away the charge of desertion caused the delay. The American Telephone Co. arc j unpleasantly conspicuous at present j through the publicity given die former ! lile of its Vice-President, T. AV. Ty- ; ror. Mr. Tyrer has lived for several years in Washington, and has been largely interested in the North Wash ington Improvement Co. Some ene mies of his and the Company have published lhee statements in order o break down Tyrer and the Company. The hitler .seem able to stand tho , assault, as an investigation by a com mittee of thu stock holders, develops no fraudulent transactions, but Tyrer i will probably go to the wall, as the j charges against him arc (rue. Mr. ! Tvrer does not denv having served a I term for lorgery. Man's vengeance on man is relentless and once a dis covered criminal , a) ways u criminal, and though we are told of the joy in Heaven over one sinner that lepeut cth, there is very little belief on earth in his repentance, and ho is told that Cod will forgive him, but man cannot. The chances for the prevention of crime arc constantly rct'irded by its being almost an impossibility for a man who has once been convicted of a crimo, to ictiirn to the association of hunest people. So long as Christian!- I ty withhold its confidence from those I who havo erred, so long will our prU- ous bcinore than half tilled by those who arc serving their second and third , terms. I The proposal to utilize the Uevenuo ' .Marino bv appointing Graduates of thu U. S. Naval Academy to tho va cancies in that service is again under diciission. As it now stands tho graduates of Hie Academy nrcr given $1000. and relegated to private.- life, with the exception of a few who stand at tho head of the class. They are appointed to such places as may bo vacant in the Navy at the timo of their graduation. The idea is. that tho ltevcnuo Marine Service offers a field of usefnlliiess for tho other gnduates. It might ho considered that a young man with a tine education and $1000. in cash, was well equipped to begin tho battle of lire without the Govern ment which has already educated him lining obliged to find him a salaried position. Hut it is not entirely a question of the young man's interest.
