It chould be care fully scrutinized by all tax-payers. Spokane Kails has pledged $17a,000 to a railroad company to come in there and partake ofi bountiful repast and thenceforth and forever become a full fledged citizen of that place, having fullgcorpornlion honors, with tho ad vantages of slicing and being sued, if the advantages of the country, and the usual whims of ordinary mankind should deem it advantageous to their interests. That's the kind of towns Oregon should have. That was a very handsome compli ment paid by the Republican conven tion to County Treasurer K. C. JJrain ard, in refraining from placing any one in nomination to oppose him, Although Mr. Uraiuard has made a good treasurer, and the compliment was deserved, such acts tend to cre ate a sentiment of brotherly good will between the two purlieu, which can but have a tendency to make tho cam paign more pleasant. liecause Tin: Scoi'T commended tho Democratic convention for utterly Ig iioringanythliig that would lead to lo- and suggested the cal dlssentions, propriety of the Republican conven- lion acting in a similar maimer, the j Gazette sees lit, to misrepresent our position, and accuses us of attempting to create discord in the Republican i party.

Much surprise ; and dissatisfaction were expressed j when he was suddenly let out of the ' control of that company. JJiit Ileuiy ; Villard was not a man to bo shoved 1 out in the cold and iiictly accept the situation.

"Whether it is or not, makes but little difference to Villard 1 if his company can reap a richer liur , vest of the ''(Jolden ficeee" by joiu ing the lease, lie is there for the ' money there is in it, and it makes no I difference to him whether Portland ! lives or dies so long as. his company is making more money out of the joint.

No. of Claims Allowed. or as any fair minded person could ask, it would appear that the only "discord" that, has been created is in the mind of the editor of that paper. An unusual number of new subscri- i hers have been nddedjto our list this i week. Tho growth of Tin: Scout in . this direction during the last, two years has been almost phenomenal. The 1 number of its subscribers will reach at least 1,300 a list which wo think few papers in the State can boast of, (bough published in towns many times ' larger than Union.

Tin: Scotrr has constantly urged, during the past fow months, upon tho members ot both parties in this county the neces sity of attending the primary elections and sending delegates to the county conventions that were fair, honest and candid men. who would use their best judgement in selecting (heir nominees for olllt'o during the ensuing term. Wo believe our elfoi Is have not been barren of good results. The little co terie of schemers who would like nothing better than lo see (he county involved In a war on local ipiestlous, havo been (juicily set down upon in a manlier that will probably be benefi cial to them in the future, and teach (hum (hat open honesty is yet supreme in (his county, Last week we hesita ted not to commend the democracy of Union county, in convention assem bled, for their wise and Judicious ac tions, To-day wo as heartily com mend the actions of tbr republicans, Tho convention last. Saturday, so far as wo could sco, was characterized by the utmost fnirnoxs, and a desiro on the part of the great majority of dele gatus to do tho best they could for tho county At largo. If they erred in making any tif tho nominations, wo bolievo U win an error In judgement alone. Tho selection of the legislative portion of (ho ticket will no doubt convince tho people of tho county, as it lias us, that local dissentions are not to outer into this er.uipalgn. The selection of n senator, which has not been made at this writing, may some what alter the aspect or tilings, but we think that (ho sentiment of (ho par- 1 ty at huge, and tho will of (ho conven- J lion as apparent by its nominations, ' as that of March.

Failing Health. Ten years ago my health began to fall. I was troubled with n distressing Cough, NightiSwents, Weakness, and Norvous iioss. 1 tried various remedies pre scribed by different physicians, but became so weak that I could not go up stairs without stopping to rest. My friends recommended mo to try Ayer'a Sarsaparilla, which I did, nnd 1 am now as healthy and strong as over. Mrs. K. L. Williams, Alexandria, Minn. 1 have used Ayor'n Sarsanarllla. In my family, for Scrofula, and know, it it is taken faithfully, Hint it will thoroughly eradicate this terrible disease. I have also prescribed it as a tonic, as woll ns an alterative, and must say that I honestly believe it to be the best blood mcdichio evereouioundcd, W. 1 Fowler, M. D., I). D. 8., Ureenvllle.Tenn.
