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

The man who made his own coflin

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

than there is for taking it off sugar.
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

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-

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

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
