Reports of his ill health arc con tradicted. The boom has boomed itself to death in Southern California. Soino collap sed inllatcduess is all thai is loft to show whero tho. boom used to hang out. A paper in east Texas says, that it wantH John L. Sullivan, of Mass, for president ; John L. Ingalls, of Ivan., for vice president, and pensions for dis abled pugilists for tlio platform. Tho session of the Grand Lodge I. O. 0. V. on tho 21th of May will bo largely attended from all parts of tho State. Tho railroad company will toll round trip tickets at reduced rates. Tho Republican Central Committee of Marion county passed a resolution that tho chairman of tho Slate central committee bo requested to secure tho services of Hon. George II. AVilliiuns to canvass the State during tho ensu ing campaign. Prohibition in Iowa is not working us its ndvocaturs expected. Two saloon keepers, charged with selling litpior, were actpiited on tho ground thnt they sold it according to law, and now tho body of saloon keepers propose to sell liquor brought into tho Statu in origi nal packages, under tho rouont decis ion of tho Supremo court of the United States.

This reminds us that tho color only denotes the denomination of the bill, and that a man's a man all the same, or, in other words, "Tho rank is but the guineas' stamp, a man's a man for a' that." J. II. Rnley, the candidate for joint senator witli Umatilla county, was in this city the fore part of tho week. Mr. Ralcy is a pleasant, ullable gentle man, and makes friends wherever be goes. Sonic of tho Umatilla papers that wo thought would oppose liini on account of local issues, comes out Ktroinr'v in his favor. Wo are of the opinion that Mr. Raley will havs tiouble in "getting there." no The man who made his own coflin was heard of long ago; later, tho man who dug bis own grave; and, latest, tho man in Athens, Georgia, who preached his own funeral tornion, Tlio public will now wait to hear of the man who does his own "laying out." Kx. The public may bo s-ntisficd. Several men in Union county have performed the "laying out" act in allowing them selves to be nominated for ollice. The funeral will tako place next June. Portland merchants are wido awake. They have subscribed $2,r00 a month for ono year to bo used in advertising Oregon and working up its interests in tho East. A paid agent has been sent to Chicago, ono to St. Paul, one to Southern California, and one lo Pugot Sound. Thousands upon thousands of pamphlets, posters, maps and fold ers are being printed, and will be dis tributed where they will do good. Ad vertising pays, anywhere, and under all circumstances. Tho Alta, California, tlio leading democratic newspaper of tho Pacific coast, says: "Rampant partisanship sometimes sneers at the independent vote, but tho man who casts it has the compensating pleasure of expressing his conscience at thu ballot-box, where the conscience of the rank partisan is usually suppressed." The same may bo said of the independent newnpupor that speaks the truth and is not afraid to express its convictions, at all times. Tho Journal says that it is quite likely that tho survey will be made and tho work of construction begun on the Wallowa railroad inside of tax months. AVe aro glad to hear this, for it is a lino greatly needed. Wallowa is naturally one of tho best counties in tho Slate, and tho greatest drawback to its development is it.s poor shipping facilities. When, instead of hauling their produce a hundred miles to a railroad, tho iron horse pidu up at their doors every day, a vastdilleronco will bo immediately felt by the people of Wallowa, and their magnificent county will come rapidly to tho front. Col. O. F. KUiott, United States .Swamp Land Agent, is again in Ore gon to investigate swamp land mut ters. It is hoped he will not allow himself to bo "persuaded" by the artful grabbers this time as was plainly evi dent on his trip through tho Harney Valley country last summer when he allowed Todhunter it Devine's repre fcentatives to "pull the wool over his eyes" to the extent of ttwiudliim hun dieds of poor tattler out of their jturt rights.

Anil the idea of takintr it off wool and j leaving it with but little modification on manufactured woolens is picpos- terous m tlio extreme, lo reverse the proposition would have more sciio to it. A verv correct idea of thc :ittitiulu of the I wo parties may bo j gained by the following cxtrict from a leading republican paper: "Again; alf or nearly all of the republicans are i'i favor of putting -utrar on the fnv lit, nod Mill contend strenuousy for it at le.it unless the Carli'de-Milh administra tion imrty slrdl give up th"ir demand for fie;' trade in wool. If the eilort to put wool on tlio I iv e list is beaten, then free trade in siiKHi' iiiiiv nut be pre-e.l for thc present. lint Miiouiu tne ire.' trade programme m to I wool go tlirouj'h, there will be a united de- j , th- part of the republicans for , lree miliar, ami on uie iiuiercuces imis oc veloped an appeal will be taken to the coun try in the elections. There is, indead, far greater reason for putting MtRiir than wool on the, free list. Wool is out; of the most wiiHy distributed products of tlie country. It is a product too, that is very open to competition from the vast ranges of South America, Austral ia and other parts of the world. Sugar Is produced in mil a very limited section of the United States. The whole population interested in its production in the United States does not exceed the number neces sary to send ahoe three members to con gress. iViid, sini e the problem Is how to stop the accumulation of the sutpltis in the' treasury, and since s.igar contributes vastly more to that surplus than any other item in the tariff list, sugar is the very first thing from which the duty ought to be removed. Thi would cut od at one stroke taxation 'to the amount of $i:o,000,ono a year, would destroy the "trut" that extorts from $10, (HK).(HiO to $."i(),Kn,(ino more every year from tho people beyond the just pi ice of the sug ar, ami would' cheapen by neii'-ly one-half an ai tlele of universal consumption. Nor would the democrats of Louisiana huvo any reason to complain. The are all for free trade in every tiling but sugar, and hence they have no standing whatever for an argueinent against putting sugar on the free list. It is very probable that the con troversy on tho tariff question will bring the republican party lo the point of de manding free sugar, as the democratic par ty demands free wool. Since the tariff question, in its present aspects. Is wholly a question of coiillicting intere'ts, It is clear that the interests of the larger number ought to prevail AVe are not contending for a high tariff, or for any tariff, on wool, hut say that free woolens ought to come with free wool, and that free sugar ought to come on it.s own account and in any event." Arc think tho above is about correct and shows conclusively that the op posing interests think that a reduced tariff is n great benefit to the people, when applied to everything except tho industry they arc engaged in. While there is but little hope of any present legislation, amounting to anything, in this matter, we are glad that the sub- ject is being ngit itcd, for in time tho of this medicine.

KDUL 'A TIOXA L MA TTEUS, The public school system of our I country is its principal safe guard. Only by tl:e education of its subjects i can any country hope to preserve and perpetuato its liberties, maintain its standing with other nations and keep pace with the progress of tho world. Deprive us of ourschoolsaud facilities for learning, destroy our books and suppress the newspapers for a gener ation or two and we would relapse into barbarism. Oh the other hand educate tho young, by compulsory means, if need be, and see the result. Refinement takes the place of gross ness, thrift and prosperity usurp the p'lueos where sipiallor reigned, the power of potentates and despotic nil ers over the temporal and spiritual af fairs of mankind is broken, peace takes the place of war, and in tho consciousness of his intellectual sup eriority tho humblest citizen of the land stands forth as "tho heir of all tho ages in tho foremost tiles of timo" iind.uo powerciin enslave, nor sophis try mislead him. Then how essential it is that tho educational interosts of tho country should bo fostered and cared for above every thing else, and our system, which wo think is a most excellent one, carefully watched, and if necessity mhhiis to tloinnnd it, added to in this and amended in that placo until it is as perfect as may be, and accords with the requirements ovolved by the best thought of our progressive ago. i AVe are pleased to note that a iiini'L oil iiimi'ftvniiimil ti lllil li'iMlblo oni'li I year in matters educational. A high er grade of teachers is doiniiudud than was the wise a few years ago, and the demand is supplied. In consequence wo have better schools, and a much more satisfactory state of affairs. This is, no doubt, due to the efforts of the touchers themselves, who as a general rulo attend tho annual Insti tutes and by eompnrlaf notes with ouch oilier and dUctusiug educational 6iibjccts, ni p constantly attaining high er standards of excellence.

Carter, of Island city , the republican nominee, is pre eminently the best man for the posi tion. Mr. Carter is an experienced teacher, and takes an enthusiastic in terest in all educational matters. He was employed in that capacity fof 12 years and during that time had charge of but four schools an indisputable evidence of hie fitness. For live years he taught in La Grande, and quit the school on his own volition. A record like that speaks well for him . His I opponent, no doubt, is an excellent i young man, but jjarks experience. Mr. Carter is the proper man for the important ollice of school superinten dent, and the people of Union county will elect him. do otherwise. They cannot afford to SlieriiFs Statement.
