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.
An effort is being made by some of
thc leading democrats of Portland to
establish a represent it ive democratic the part of the Executive of calling an

To the editor of the Ork'S Hi 'JT.
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. This is conclusive ov-

Gun. Win. McKco Dunn, lute
Judge advocate General, died at his
farm in Va. on Sunday last. (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

ment and prosperity of Washington,
and has been greatly iiwtnununtal in
the nrosont inosncrous condition of

The mortality among the very
young and very old. in Washington
has been very great and superinduced
by the terrible heat of tho hint four

Volapuk, the new universal, lan
guage, which consists of the best of
over twenty tongues, but mostly from
the English, is making rapid strides
toward the Paeitie coast. 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.
