SUMMERS, UNION, OREGON, -DEALER 1N- unlvoivul belief that if we desire to tcf'ure talent, ability, sound judgment and indexible honesty wc must pay for it. First chiss'ability ami talent arc not generally purchased for s sonir, but (hat. is about the price paid by our own state to most of its public ser vants. Fifteen hundred dollars a year for tho Governor of tho great and growing Sta'e of Oregon, and for that it is expected to get the best in the market. It may get the best off ered, but competency and fitness will, at this age of our state, s piosperity, stand aside and let some ambitious mediocre step up and Rent himself up on tho Gubernatorial lustrum. There was a time when the present salary of state olllccrs was sullleicnt for the times', when tho stale was llrsl organized and for vears afterwards it would not have been good economy to have lai'ges salaries. Now the state has grown in importance and has as sumed a rank among her sister states of which we, her people, have a right to justly feel proud. Oregon is bo coming more prosperous as a state everyday, and in the ratio that her prosperity increases, so docs her im portance, and measures which affect the whole state in tho same ratio will arise and demand thorough o.xecutivi iiliilifv, and based upon broad and liberal views. This, in the natural eonrso of things, will call for broad, liberal minded men, seasoned with sulllcicnt acnlencss to stay tho wheels at the proper point. This class of men will never seek tho honors of olllco for the paltry inducements held out bv the state. ro aro aware that there aro some objections to tho legis lature of the State being given the power of voting these salaries to suit themselves; hut a remedy might be made to this by an increase in tho pay of senators and representatives, mak ing their salary eight dollars per day instead of the pitiable sum of three dollars. The same reasoning will apply to those who would accept leg islative honors as to those who would accept tho position of our state o Ulcers if pecuniary inducements wero sullici cnlly great to make it a source of in come, Men whoso timo and ability aro worth $11,000 or 51,000 a year aro not going to sacritlco their business ii i id accept honors and a large amount of responsibility for half that sum. "'c hopo the olection on this amend ment will be in favor of it. Upon the amendment, for the time of holding elections, changing the time I'roui Juno to November, we think it also should carry. It is a large J expense every four year to hold a separate olection lor presi dent, ltuth elections could be had at tho srtuo timo and the greater portion of tho espouse of tho election be saved. "Wo do not believe that county and s'ato interests would bo so completely swallowed up in tho presidential race, that the welfare of either state or county would he placed in such jeop ardy as to the render tho amendment if carried an objuctioual font mo in the election laws. Wo believe tho work In;.' In this respect would ho tho re verse of this, and wo hope to see tho amendment carried. GEAXGE WOItK. Tho Statu Grunge of California is computed of inllueiilial and strictly practical body of men. Their annual session was recently brought to ti close and thuir action in one direction called forth tho following remarks from tho Alta. It says: Tho State Grunge has made uu exceedingly Important I'ccoincndaliuu that the U. 8. Geolog ical Survey bo called upon to classify tho nubile hinds.

Sweeney vs L. decision for which the people of the State ought to be truly thankful, more especially as the circuit ociirt of Miiltuumuh comity is thereby reversed, and u most dang erous doutriue reprimanded by the highest State judicial tribunal. Vyriclly, Swnceney sued MeLcod for services as a lobbyist in tho last legis lature, and was awarded the sum ol $281. The jury which tendered such a verdict, and the judge which allow ed it to stand, must have had a very low estimate of the people of this State, and of the. obligation of the legislators; but on the other hand all people of any moral pcreption whatever have, let litem Do assured, a very poor opin ion of that judge and jury. Hut Judge Strahan has done this State great service in reversing so mischiev ous a verdict and judgment. He says: "If the terms of the contract required any services to bo rendered, or if the party employed, in furtherance of the general purposes of his employment, rendered or designed to render any services either to cause or prevent any legislative action, otherwise than by publicly presenting tho subject before tho Legislature or some of its commit tees, such contract cannot bo enforced in this State." E. O. An ico-niau was arrested in New York city for breaking the Sabbath last Sunday by selling ice. The judge discharged him. Two men ar rested for selling a pair of shoes and a pair of slippers wero held to bail. Another merchant sold a collar worth fourteen'cents and was lined.
