Heth Thomas, who mado t; clock for almost every family in (ho United States, died last Sunday at ltenssalacr ville, N Y aged 71 years. Thcro will probably not be u givat nmny eulogies wiilten of him, but he was a greater beneiit to his fellow men than anv f . , , , . the much lamented statesmen who have passed in their checks for some ! time. When our people send W. Il.llutl man and Turner Oliver to (lie legisla ture, as they certainly will do, Union county will bo represented as it should bo. Hack county is sized up, in a measure, by the caliber of its repre sentatives. We belong in the front rank, and wo tdiould have men capable of scouring our jxisition thcro and holding it. This, JliilVnmu mid Oliver will do, with cicdit to them bclvua and us.

It is Our opinion that in ten yeais from now, no man in this broad land can be found who will not regret that he ever favored a pro tective tariff, or was misled by the pophi&try of knavish statesmen em ployed by millionaires to accomplish their Hellish endr. Wo nro in noway responsible for tho utterances of our ooricspondonts, or for anything that may appear in out advertising columns. Wo want our readers to bear this in mind. As we have often t-aid before, our columns are open to nil republicans, demo crats, mugwumps, prohibitionists, wo men Mitl'ragists, cbrinMans, free think ers, and all other kinds of thinker;? under the sun. Wo want them all to be perfectly at home with us, and feel that they have a kind of proprietorship in Thk Scout for they have. We consider that it belongs to the people, and is for their ue. In our editorial columns wo cxpresa our own opinions, and they may bo taken for what they are worth. Tho paper is free for others to express their opinions also, and we hope they will not hesitate to do so. OU.ll JOINT SI: NATO IIS. Mr. Kaley, of Pendleton, nominee for joint senator between Union and Umatilla counties scorns to be making friends wherever ho goes. We thought that the Milton fiatle, one of the most inllucntial journals of Uma tilla county would not support, him, on account of local disscutiouR but it. seems we were mistaken. The liny I e says : j ".lames II. Haley, of Pendleton, ! detuocratc candidate for the honorable i olllce of senator for the twenty-lirst j district of Oregon , visited .Milton on Fridav in order to become icotiaintcd wun ino pcopte aim icarn as near a i possioie oi ineir ueetis aim opinions regarding both tickets now before them. Mr. Halev is it gentleman in ! the highest sense of that term, easy ol i approach and a splendid conversation alist. To a direct question of wheth er or no ho would support equitable division, if elected, tho reporter was given tho straightforward answer: 'I will mak. you no promise, hut I can say to you that the question will be thoroughly canvassed and considered and I shall do my ditty toward the people of Umatilla' county as n whole the minority as well as the major ity. ' This promise is far more, pleas ing and honorable than a promise jUl'e for tho purpose of capturing Voles, onlv lo !',o (lishonoiably broken at. the last iiottr. 1 ho question arises tit this time, can tho peoplo of eastern Umatilla county place their faith and trust in .lames 'II . ltaley as their tul voeato in the state senate? Thisqucs- I tion is asked independent of politic. I The gentleman , from all wecaulearu, is honorable, upright and a Siiuott ; pure democrat ; he appears well and rather 'han lu'ing ol the lickspittle sy cophant class of politicians, making indiscriminate promises hero ami there, stand-i uncompromising and it nfii It ititf ti ir itit lint iilittf.xi'itt lit' tint iliMiiocrntlc lmi'lv. If. ik sliiteil. Mr. ! Ralcy is an honorable man in his cam paign, would ho not be honorable in Ids position as u legislator?" Tho Jfoino JVi., an independent paper, representing a ilifforont section and different interests, in speaking of the candidates, says; j "And what of .1. II. Rnley and his opponent A. It. Mattoon. ltaley was i raised on the meadows of tills county, . worked on tho farm during the sum mer ami went to district schools, win- ters.

We beleivc linn )o be R ,fe nml COJ1ipotetlt mau !md , ,q Mm Hon. L. U. It!iicn:irt. who hni nl- ! rundy served in tbc IcgMutniv, is ' loo well known Iv the nnonlo .of Un- j iwll ftl)(1 wn0wn counties, to need ,mv Words of commendntion from the j Scout or any other newspaper. The record he made while there will speak for him. It is a record as good ns the best ami better than nine-tenths of his associates in the senate. He may have a few enemies who for personal interests would injure hint it they could. but we believe if tho real cause of this opposition were known it would redound greatly to Mr. Iline hurts credit. He is now in Wallowa county interviewing tho voters there. We venture to say that not one of them can look Lou in tho face and say that hu ever went back on them, or his word. Jfe favored the formation of Wallowa county because the resi dents were overwhelmingly in favor of it. How can tiny honest IcyMator serve his constituent), but bv carry- j ing out tho wishes of the majority of, them, us mado known by petition and 1 remonstrance? lie cannot do other- j wise, and right or wrong, you may I count on Lou dointr that everv time, i Hu will carry Union county by a sweeping majority, and if the repub licans of Wallowa count, don't com pliment him with their votes wo are verv much mistaken. ABOUT THE, SIZE OF JT. It is. perhaps, a matter of but little consequence., but the Lti Grande 6'r zettc pctistently endeavors to misrep resent our position. There is u vast difference between a neutral and an independent paper, which the tiazette don't seem to comprehend. If we were running ti neutral paper, we would scrape up in a thimble tho small amount of brains required in the busi ness, and endeaver to manipulate them in a maimer that would offend nobody. If we were running a party paper, wo would bridle our tongue and conscience, and do the work re quired, even to supporting a measly I canine if he were on the ticket. Hut J as wo are conducting tin independent I paper, we unhesitatingly express our opinions on any and every subject, tintraiuelcd b allegiance to party or fear of the consequences of giving of funce to any one whom our opinions iiniv not suit. In countv affairs Tim Scot"!' has no politics, and will not allow anything of the kind to bias it j,, Xi elation of good and elliclent ... ollicers. In the selection of lcisla- tors, however, .it takes into considera tion. not so milch tho men, as the principles they are supposed to advo cate. Wo beliove that the revision of the infamous robber tariff is Hie para mount and immediate work that the people have to do at this juncture, and our inlluoiico will be with them in tho accomplishment of it. Wu .-hall sup port to tho best of our ability the can didates that wo belie vo most in har mony with us. Wo wore pleased with Uic actions of both tho conventions in this county to prevent, any tltscussmns of a local nature 'Muring this campaign, and are canviuccd there will bo nothing of i i . tho kind, fco far ns our local nitor-, ests tun concerned we would as soon I triiut tiic republican as the democratic nominees on the legislative (iukut , but when it comes to politics ami the Ill ness of the mon for serving our people, wo have, n decided preforonco, and have freely expressed it , except in tho case 01 ll Mattoun, the nominee for joint senator with I'tuatilla county, who lives in La (Srnnde. Ve ac knowledge that on account of the lo cality in which hu rosides for tho time being, wo Imvo heretofore ro ftitiued from saying anything ttdverso to his interests, although wo did not believe him to be a suitable man to represent tho people ol Union county, j in tho legislature. This forboainnco on our purl acotnsto bo unappreciated, Iimi Hfi , at,itit will not M-knowl- edge tiny of our friendly concessions, but inUrepreiionl u on every oeen kion, we shall heroafler discus oich of (ho oeuiditlates iiupartwlly , no mat ter wltei he comes from, or what country he U liable to inhabit arter ho shuuies off thu mortal coll.

Money in the hands of men who think, rules the world. , Tho rich have time to think over and ! concoct, schemes for their own benefit, . while the poor devil of a laboring man and farmer, vaguely conscious that there is sotnething wrotig somewhere, is too busily engaged in providing for his family to liud out what it is. If we had more farmcas like "Homo," there would be better times. When the farmers of this country conclude that it is time to sweal'lcsY,"7in(Uhink more J it will be the commencement of a prosperous era, indeed. We would suggest to tl em that n'thl now is a good time to do n little thinking. TJIINK OF IT. Xow, as tho tide of immigration for 1SS8 has begun to move toward the setiing-Miii, and Union county is pos-ses.-ed of o many natural advantages, it. behooves her citizens to bestir them selves and make tho most of it. It is an old adage (hut "God helps those who help themselves, " and whether this bo true or not1 it is almost an axiom that if we do not help ourselves ethers are not going far out of the to get in their work for the pttrpos helping us. Wo have a good county i and oi'ery citizen within her borders ! knows and realizes it-. Then toot 1 r,1!'!: ty that is likely to make n good citizen. Treat him as if ho were your long lost brother; make him feel that you are interested in his welfare; induce him to buy a portion of your land but don't ask him double the value of it, it will make him lose confidence in your good intentions. Take the pains of introducing him to your neighbors, that ho may fcol more at homo and not as a stranger m ti strange land. Speak of tho advantages of your coun ty, its industries, its prosperous out look, its climate; of its schools, its churches, its morality, its health etc. Don't tell him the people of the coun ty are old moss-backs, arc indolent, that thev are too slow, that the land won't produce anv thin- except in vour own precinct, etc. If vou can't induce him to settle in your locality speak of other sections and keep him in the county. Don't toll bun that this or that town is dead, that there is no energy. Mo will probably judge for himself and may conclude that you are unduly prcdjudiced in favor of the town nearest your own interest. Keep him in your locality if you can that is right, its natural, but if vou can't, dont chill him through and through by throwing icebergs into other sections ho may wish to visit. Remember ho is presumed to have good judgment and bo possessed of fair reasoning faculties as well as yourself. What ho likes in a country vou may dislike, or tho reverse of this may be. Treat him gentlemanly and ' conrtooiislv It will niako him feel fl.iom!iv to V()U.
