A bill has passed the Senate to com pel the education of Indian children. Tho democratic! primary election of UaUer county will bo held to-morrow. Uingcr Hermann is the most popu lar man, among the republicans, for Congress. Friends of Governor Pcnnoycr want to place hint on tho ticket with Cleve land this vcar. Clerk' Dell, of the Slate railroad commission, thinks (he reduction of wheat rates by the interstate 'com merce commission has alraidy saved Eastern Oregon and Washington far mers 8600,000. o doubt it is true, mid also that the commission has ben efited the people in many other ways. A correspondent writing from this place to (ho Hast Portland racket says th'atT. II, Crawford is a candidate for judge of this judicial district, and (bathe will probably receive suffi cient support in Union, linker nnd Wallowa counties to secure his nomi nation." We knew that Mr. Craw ford was a candidate for prosecuting attorney, but was not aware (hat he aspi'ed (o the judgeship.

Tho general land office reports' that there are 10,000,000 acres of land in South Idaho susceptible of cultivation. Hitler Haggard is said to bo at work at last on tho promised sequel to 'She."

In Umatilla county, Zoo Housor announces himself as a candldato for sheriff; John Young for county clerk, and Geoi V. Hamilton for treasurer. They are all republicans. The Oregon Blade Publishing Com pany, of liakcr City, was incorporated last week. The object is to publish a republican newspaper m that city. If all the papers published in that place can niamigo to live, it will be worth the time of an ordinary editor to find j out how thev do it, The better tho advertising display in a newspaper, tho more it reflects the business, tho activity, the enter prise and prosperity of the communi ty. Business men appreciate this, and therefore freely advertise in their local newspapers. Others aro in bus iness who Jay behind, as they deserve. They expect Ihc newspapers to do them benefit, but Letters from southern California say tho bottom is dropping out of the big boom there. That southern Cali fornia boom has been a good thing for western Oregon and Washington lumber interests, creating as it has nit unprecedented demand for logs and lumber all along the Columbia river, and Gray's harbor. they contribute no benefit in return. The city or com munity which' neglects to fairly and judiciously advertise, neglects its surest road to mum and importance and wnalth. A San Francisco dispatch of the 12th says: J lie boullicrn J'acilio Company have now decided to build a line from Jlontaguo, California, on (he Oregon & California railway to Shovel creek, on Klamath river, via Lake Shasta, and probably Ihence via Linkvillo and Klamath Lake to Eastern Oregon and Idaho, for connection with tho Ore gon Short Line. ! Mr. il. J. MacMalion, a practicing , lawyer of ability at Baker City, is i spoken of as a probable presidential elector from Eastern Oregon. Mr. j.MaoMahon is" well known in this ! county from his connection with the I faculty of Tualatin Academy and Pa- I alio University. Ho is a man of learning, being a graduate of tho , University of .Michigan and Sorbonne of France. In 1881, Mr. MacMahon ! canvassed California and Oregon for ' (he republican presidential ticket, , made a strong canvass and would do so again. Hillsboro Independent.

This society thinks that tho old methods fail in (hat they do not interest the thinkers among educated non-Chils-tian people. It has 7,750 members in Switzerland and Gcrmnny, and has n few men at work in Japan and China New York Sun. As will bo seen by a card elsewhere in this issue. Mr. J. S. Elliott de- lines to bo a candidate for sheriff. This will be a disappointment to ! many of his friends. Mr. Elliott is otic of the most popular men in the county, and about the only one we i know of who would stand a chance of 1 beating A. N. Hamilton in the next election. i An autograph letter of Edgar A. Poo was recently sold in New York for 70. Forty years ago Mr. Poo would gladly have furnished twice (ho (he amount of matter for 70 cents. Tho prohibitionists will hold their state convention on tho 28th of March, at Portland. Thoy will have ii full ticket in tho field at the Juno election, but it will not cut much of a figure. Following mo some of tho candi dates now claiming our attention : For joint senator, Democrat ic, Col. J. II. Haley, G. 10. Owen, Jninu.s Ilondcr shott, L. 1$. liinohnrt, and E. E.

Crawford. j We arc informed by tho County i Court that after the April settlement, j the delinquent (ax-list will be puH- lished, Wo believe it is a good idea ( iis there tiro quite a number of men in j this county who would like foir people to think that they tire personages of l great importance. They either appear on the tax roll as being utterly worth lessor refuse to pay any assessment that may bo against them. It will probably bo bonelicial for people to know who thoy aro. An.no who has not paid Lis taxes yet should conic in and do so, and save himself tho mortification of seeing his name on record in this wav, Last . week, (he governor removed Itobert Clow from the supcrinteudcu cy of the penitentiary, the reason as signed being (hat Clow some timo ano, in violation of the law, employed convic(s to work on his farm in Polk county, no entry of such employment having been mado upon tho prison books for two months afterwards, when the fact of the supciintcndcnt's infringement of the law had been called attention to by tho public press. This is the cause of removal, with other reasons of like nature, that is staled in the official notification of his deposition handed by the gorcrnor to Clow, Hon. Geo. S. Downing, of Salem, was appointed to fill the va cancy. His appointment dates from March 15th.

An organization of this kind is essential to tho welfare of any town that expects to ever bo of any consequence Some 9110 put tho report in circula tion ,. a few days ago, that Hon. L. B. Uinchart had withdrawn from politics, lor the present at least, and would not be a candidate for ro-elcct- ion to tho State senate. We ques tioned Mr. Binehart concerning this., and ho said there was no truth in the report, and that lie would servo again if it was tho wish of tho party for hint to do so. Mr. Uinchart hu made a good record as senator, and his chances are very favorable for another term. It may not bo generally known that (he act passed Feb. 21st, 1887, cre ating the office of recorder of convey ances iu tho counties of Clackamas, Clatsop, Linn, Marion, Umatilla Un ion, Washington and Yamhill has been held unconstitutional as. to trie counties of Clackamas, Clalsop, Un-' ion and Umatilla, inasmuch as these counties were not mentioned iiutho (i tlo of said net. For according to sec tion 20, Art. 1, of the Oregon consti tution, an act must not oilly contain but one subject, but that subject and the matter relating thereto must bo expressed in the title of said act; oth-orwv-c .such act shall be void as to so much thereof as shall not be expressed in tho title Milton (Or.) JCayle. Says Prowler, the parson in Cam eron Vindicator: 'The spirid of m dependenco will ere long go bogging if every man becomes fearful of ex pressing his honest convictions lest someone withdraws patronage. Where is the once boasted free speech if every man must withhold his opinion, lest ho should sacrifice his business! It is no uncommon thing to sec merchants, professional men. and clergy, aye, the officers of the law, shielding their opinions, on this and that question solely from the fear that thoy mar be criticised, or perhaps lose the good will of some duffer with a sock full of money. As a certain long felt want writer says every man has the stwnc right to.cxprc6s it, letcomo what will I take it a6 cowardly for a man to withhold his sentiment solely from the fact that it may take a few dollars from bun; it shovs that ho has no coufldciKe iu himself or his abilty to cant a living. It is not American. A spirit of honest independence must prevail or man's .weakness will down him." mJffflfiBUWffi J fflffl w 'ii.rT jOs i Keep- constantly on hand a large supply of Parlor and Bed Room Sets, Bedding, Desks, Office Furniture eta UPHOLSTERING Done in the Best Style.
