"Truth crushed to eattli will rite again." Wo acknowledge tlio receipt of an invitation to attend the commence ment exercises of the Oregon Stale Normal School, of Monmouth, which will take place on the 13th inst. According to latest advices littlo rhil Sheridan is still fighting with death, and while the odds arc against him, it is just poptiblo that ho will come out victorious yet. "We hope to hear regularly from all our correspondents hereafter. The campaign is now over and wo need your assistance in making Tin: Scout an interesting and readable paper. Whatever tlio repl'.biieaiis may say in regard to the wny- j winch tho democratic candidates run in this cam paign, they must admit that E. G. Brainard made it mighty hot for old Blank. Tho Democratic National conven tion is in session at St. Louis. Tho nominations were, not made as we went to press, but without doubt Thur man will bo nominated for vice-president with Cleveland. Henry Yillard is about to under take an expedition to tho South Polo. Dr.Ncumary, director of tho Deutsche Zcwart of Hamburg will co-operato with him. The North Polo cranks will probably withdraw for for a time. Bclva Loekwood has been nomina ted for president by tho Woman Sum-ago convention, at Dca "Moines. Their platform included tho following planks: Protective tarifl', free sugar and lunibci, tho repeal of internal tax op. whiskey and, tobacco. Im, MiP.hitrah sumcMo cotttt lins de clared the local option hvv Which has just gone into encut in tl&l Btnto, ' Jn. constitutional. AftteVrorm 0ni is tho romul fci Uo decibior WHili VftsTcmlercA-Viy tho court without a miiglo dissenting opiuio'a. High liccnso will now )o tho rulo Tim following particulars of the now law abolishing slavery in Brazil have been received: All emancipated ne groes aro required to remain there un til the next coileo crop is gathered,, but in the mean timo tboy aro to re ceivo a small rate of wages from their former owners, ami shall not be locked up in their quarters, ah formerly. Tho former owners receivo no compen sation for liberated slaves. Nearly 1, fiOO.OOO aro liberated by tho new law. Tho attitude of tho democracy in Union county j'.".st now reminds us of tho big fellow who onco jumped on to a smaller man with tho intention of giving him a sound threshing, but whilo ho had him down and wuhoii top, lie inadvertently got his nose between his oppononts teeth, and at tho same timo realizing that his eyo was being gouged out, anil feeling his adversary's toes thumping aropnd his stomach, ho sang out to tho by-slanders : '-Kor Chriht's sako tako ns oil' from him !" Tho school book trust is ono of the latest, and it might bo added, ono of the meanest trusts that have been un earthed. That four publishing houses could mlo tho uchool book trade of tho country scorns preposterous, but it is nevertheless true. By tho trust, com petition is strangled and prices artific ially and extortionaloly increased. When it is remembered that tho youth of the land aro tho particular sullerors of tho school book trust; that it really puts an onerous tax on learning, its peculiar viciousncsH is apparent. Pitts burg Commercial-Gazette. An exchange truthfully says: Tho press has beconio the conservator of public morals, and to tho newspaper as much as to tho pulpit aro wo indebted for an enlightened moral sentimont, and whatever concorns tho weal of bociety. Wrong-doors dread the cen sure and exposure which tho press gives them more than tho rigors of the law, and many a luckless wight is de terred from tho commission of crime through fear ol publicity. Tho press is the bulwark of Bociety, tho dioBom jninator of knowledge, the promoter of virtue, tho dofendor of truth and hon or, tho terror of the lawless, tho swift meesengor of justice, and tho only power which can hold in Mibjeot those occupying high ollieial positions and charged with the execution of snored publio trusts. f Jfuml'T one, Vcl. lif the Orrfjon j State Wcalh'r ll'rlrv. in rceivi il. It is com ikd under the auspices of the Oregon Immigration board and Port land board of trade, and is given wide circulation. This is Uie first and only paper over publijhed in Oregon exclu sively devoted to the climatu of the J state awtf it is Jmpor'ant that Union j county and Enpictn Oregon bo fully j represented md descried. To make known our climate is the main object. Observers are asked for. Send toporta on temperature and rainfall, etc., to II. S. Pague, observer, Poseburg, Oregon. Crop report will aleo bo welcome.

It was our intention to t . I ! .. I . ...1 1 ... puuiisii a lauie. giving mo oiiiciiil re turns from (he various precincts, but we cannot do so until our next issue, on account of tlio delay in sending l!Roiu, Tlicuiioili'-ial icports, how OVcl1, ftl'6 sullloieiit to show (hat. the republicans have gained a decided victory; not a man on the democratic ticket being elected, with tlio excep tion of A. T. Noill, for county clerk, 13. C. Brainard, for trcarurer, .1. 11. Haley, joint senator with Umatilla county, and po-istbly, T. 11. Craw ford for prosecuting attorney. Tho state has gone republican, Hermann being elected by about 7,000. The victory was gained by hard work, ami the republicans may well congratulate themselves. They have won and may be allowed to laugh. M U.' JlKJ "ill. BU BZfZETi UBIMiXUlPM 9 OUR ELECTIONS.

Tlio tariff policy of tho country, for instanco, might bo settled as intelli gently by the tossing of a copper as by our system of elections, because the result in either case, if correct, would bo an accident, and not a bit less so in tho ono case than in the other. Wo have ignorance enough and knavery enough among us to make up, between them, our election majorities, or, at least to represent in them "tho bal ance of pow'cr" with unvarying cer tainty; and so it lias coino to pass, sincocven political honesty and sincer ity have ceased to rule in our elections, that their decisions do not rise, either in dignity or respectability, above the decisions of a game of chance. It is just as woll to look tho truth squarely in tho faco once in awhile, Tho peo ple of this country, by their lack of political honesty and sincerity, mid by tho character they have given to our elections, aro rapidly bringing our frco institutions into merited con tempt. COST OF JJVINC IN OH Ed' ON. Wo produce (ho following, as pub lished by tho-bt.ito board of immigra tion, for ihe convenience of llioso who may dnsire to know something of a re liable nature, regarding tho exponso of living in Oregon. "What is the expenso of living coin pared with that in tho Kast?" Answering in a general way, tho necessary living expenses in cities and towns, including servant biro, aro about ten per cent greater than in the Kast. Of course tho productions of Oregon which mo consumed at homo are as cheap as elsewhere. Hotel rates in tho towns of tho interior average i?l per day for transient customers. Hoard and lodging by the week, about $5 at the hotels; about ?l a private houses. House rents in small towns are very reasonable. (Jood five room houses with ample yard attached can bo had for from .& to $12 per month. Kami bauds command about i?25pur month, bv the years hire; harvest bands ,$1. 75 to $2.50 per day; bouse servants about $20 per month , Kor mechanics, carpontoi s and shop hands, tho aver age is probably $U per day; masons $5. Milch cows are worth about $30 each; horses average $200 per span. As to the yield of Oregon produc tions, we tako tho report of the gov ernment, actual llguros furntshod by tho growers and the estimates made by tho fanners gouornlly. Out of a dozon fanners interviewed, two had loss Until 21 bushels of wheat to the acre Inst year; four had iV2 bushols and the others over M bushels to tho aero. It is a common thing to havoSS and -10 and oven 60 bushels of wheat to tho aero. The government makes the av erage uoarly 2JJ ; oats, 16 to 85 bushels to the acre. Jt is not nn uncommon , thini: to liavc a viclrt of 75 to 100 uurIi- i els of oats to the aero in Kastcrn Qrc- on. Oats from 5 to S feet high arc frequent in this section of the state. A good deal of this grain weighs 50 pounds to the bushel. Wheat raised in this state weighs 01 pound? to tllC bushel; barley yields 6ii Ah average 20 (o -'3 bushels to the .... . ... . . . !,.!. acre; rye, 'U to oU bushels. J vnuvw about 2o bushels and often fi'Oiu 200 10 J 0C0 bushels to the ncro. Tlic growtli- j of such thing oS .squashes, pumpkins, , turnips 4 sWOct potatoes and the like, , is simply astonishing.

LOS'lMt 1 VK HS O F IDAHO. Ono of the most singular features in the scenery of the territory of Idaho is the occurrence of dark, rocky chasing, in which largo streams and creeks dis appear, and aro never more seen. These fissures aro old lava channels, produced by tho outside of the molten mass cooling and forming a tube, which, on tho fiery stream becoming exhausted, has been left empty, while the roof of the lava duct, having at soniu point fallen in, presents there an opening into which the river plunges and is lost. At one place along tho bank.-, of tho Snake, ono of these rivers re-appears gushing from a cleft high up in the basaltic walls, where it leaps a cataract into the tor rents below. Where this stream has its origin, or at what point it is swal lowed up, is utterly unknown, though it is believed that its HOiucesare a long way up in the north country. These lost streams and rivers aro frequently the source of some mysterious lake iu the basin of some mountain.
