SCOUT. ' w"W.i THE OREGON AMOS K. JONES l.DITOll, City and County Official Paper.! Saturday, Aujj. loth., J887, ! At the Into election tn 'I onus the prohibition ainendnipnt was defeated by upwards of HUM HID vole. Such an overwhelming defeat was t-oinu-whnt surprising to the prohibitionists, and certainly proves that, the time hud not come for such n move in that Mate and gives us actio to what the ro-ul L will be in Oregon next November. There can be no doubt that thu whis key tralliu is becoming great nation al evil that should be cheeked by ju- dickuis legislation, and that it is so i regatded by a great majority ot the people. This being the case, the question will be asked: Why should prohibitory laws fail to pass at any election? We believe it is on account j of the fanaticism and overzeal dis played by many of its woiil.l-bc friends , especially of the various sectarian de nominations who think proper to make a religious campaign out of it, and carry on the warfare in the name of Christ and "Christian morality." Tl:o great mass of peaceful, law abid ing, honorable people of this common wealththe moving power, belong to no roligous denomination, and rely not on prayer, but their own efforts, and the laws of common sense, modera tion justice, and humanity, in Iheirat tcmpts to ameliorate the various evils that beset niankinl. They have had quite enough of sectarian law making, of which the old Oonueticut Hhie Laws are a prominent specimen.. We do not wish to impugn the motives or sincerity of any sectarian denomi nation, or underrate the inlluciice for good which they undonbtly possess, but pimply to express the impression we have formed as to the cause of de feat, and our belief that were this class content to follow lather than lead in political incisures of this character, that success would bo assumed, when otherwise if would he doubtful. In these days of enlightenment, t ho fore most tiles in the great army of Prog ress are not spurred to action by relig ious fervor, and hymns me not their battle songs.

Wl!tiiti, July 2D, 1887. At 'the While ilotiso, the reception of the different (lflcfrntioiis, who mine to invito thu Prcxidciit to visit their Males, ha been the order of the week. On Monday the President received the Missouri deleyHtion liended by Mayor I'ntneis, of St. Louis. The Committee wits received in the librnry on the second iloor. of the Executive Mansion, next to the President's pri vate olliro. If it had bee.ii known how hirnetho. delegation wn-, niran'-e-inents wotdd have been made to re ceive the yenth'inen eomposiiifr it, in the En?t loom, After the neat and complimentary speech of Mayor Fran cis, the Piesidoni replied in n few well ,;ii0en words, and accepted the invi tation to visit St. Louis, at the time of the Sta'e Exposition and Agricult ural and Mechanical fair. Stipulating however, that his visit to St Louis s,0,ild m,t inteifere with his proposed trip to Atlanta. (ia., which is arrang odjfor the llr-t week in October. The .Mayor replied that all would bo man aged to suit the convenience of the President, and in conclusion reminded him that the invitation expressly in cluded .Mrs. Cleveland, who the Presi dent must not lorget to bring. Mr. Cleveland replied that ''she would not let him lorget her." Hotli speech es that of the mayor and the Presi dent's renlv, were continually inter rupted by cheer? and applause, alul ! the Missoiiriaus departed jubilant over the success of their mission and the heartiness of their reception at the White House, and doubtless rejoiced that the President in u wise held the people of Missouri responsible for the reason of the withdrawal of his acceptance. On Wednesday, the Chief Magis trate, again received a delega'iou who came from Kansas City, to invite liiiu to extend his trip West to that place. Altera repetition of the speeches and applause of the previous reception, the President accpted the invitation. A committee from Lynchburg, Va. has also asked the President to honor that town, lie has not et given an an swer. It will he seen by these pro posed journeys, that Mr. Cleveland will take an' extended tour in the South and West in the fall, including several States and most of the linger cities en route.

(Jen, Dunn has been suffering for several years with kidney troubles, but over exertion during the warm weather, hastened his death. His loss will bo felt by the whole eoniunity as well as socially , and in army circles, for hu was largely interested in tho develop ment and prosperity of Washington, and has been greatly iiwtnununtal in the nrosont inosncrous condition of tj(, ',pitn.

A New York dispatch says great c.v ! eileinent prevails among tobacco dcal I ers and manufacturers at the present ' time, and that prices for leaf tobacco I have increased from 60 to 100 per cent j during July, and the end is not yet. j The principal cause of the rise is the fact that a short crop is anticipated. I It was recently decided in the Su- promt: Court of California in the case ! of Alex Thompson vs William Spray, i that the milling laws of the United ; States do not require a person to be I over years of ageto locate a mining claim. This is an important decis ion, and is said to be the first wherein the right of a minor to locate mining land has been decided. 1 C2nraYTCftaX3XZRXTJTCrXfl !

It is sup posed to be a great inproveniont. We are in hopes that our politicians will familiarize themselves with the new languano before the next election. If the deleated candidates find it sullici- cnt to properly give vent to their la- eeratcd feelings, it will be good enough. The Enirlish language is found inadequate in many instances, Governor Pennoycr has pardoned J. G. Robeson, who has been in the pciiitontary about five years for the killing of .1. W. Roob, ti lawyer at Astoria. Robeson had employed Robb as his attorney and left matters entirely in his hands, but woke up to the fact that he had been swindled out of everyihing he had. Enraged be yond measure, and powerless, to get redress in any other way he walked into Rohb's ollice and shot him dead. This, to be sure is a wrong way to ob tain redress, but so is the state of af- ! lairs that would make such a course 1 ' necessary. Robeson should have ' been pardoned live years ago, or the i dav after he was incarcerated. sr.Ai.i:: nms. -yoTfi: is hi:i:i:py times that lS scaled bills will lie icccivcd by the caun tvcoiutiif Union county.
