An infantile cyclone swept through

The soothing and restorative effects

Again, like the preacher's "old old
story," we present for the readers of
Tiik ScotT, and into whose hands it
may chance to fall in other lands, a
claim to your indulgence. We will
state thai this article is written in and
for the interest of Union and her en
terprising citizens. We know there
are some who will dissent from us in
our views, but they arc u class in which
the elements of dissent, distrust and
wilful contrariness are so deeply en
grafted into their natures that it is al
most a necessity to their existence to
dissent nevertheless we have a class
of citizens here who are anxious to see
the prosperity of our city increase, and
who, when an enterprise is on foot
which is likelv to be of benefit to the
place, are readv to lend a helping hand,
and by so doing increase their store of
usefulness and wealth.
It is well known, and every person
in this valley, who, when he takes an
impartial iew of the matter admits
that for natural advantages Union is
in the lead of any other town in the
valley. True it is we have not solidly
built blocks of brick, stone or Italian
marble, but we have the elements i f
success hero and we propose to suc
ceed. We have a large country tribu
tary to us and as the country settles
up with the inpouring tide of immi
gration, we will undoubtedly will have
our streets on either side studed with
a better class of buildings, just as fast
as the ligitimate urowlh of Union and
her prosperous surroundings call for
them. The evil effects of building a
town or trying to build a town in ad
vance of its ligitimate wants have been
sadly felt in several other towns in
this state, and file citizens of Union,
while they will use all means in their
power to build up the town, propose
to profit by the too rapid growth of
other towns, and ask for increased fa
cilities as fast as we really require
them. We have staled often befoie
that we have certain objects which we
not only hoped to obtain but which we
intend to have, and we say now that
we are securing as fast, perhaps, as it
is mete for us so to have. Our under
current is sufficiently strong to carry
us through, and it is only a matter of
time that the tide of prosperity will be
sweeping into this quiet city, and then
our outside neighbors will wonder how
and by what means we have accom
plished so much. Patience and perse
verence have been the nioito of our
citizens, and now soon our hopes may
be realized, and Union attain to the
sphere she lias so long and anxiously
been looking forward to.
READ Ai REFLECT !
What Have we Done?
Cornucopia, Or, June 20, ISSS.
Editor Scour:
Great Jove! What unpardonable sin
have the people of Union county com
mitted, that thy bitterest vial of wrath
should be poured out among them,
like scorching streams of love issuing
from Pvle canyon? I would ask thee,
Great Jove, if he is unable to hold his
disappointed contents to get Vulcan
to assist and bar down t lie crater, lest
poor weak humanity should lose their
fastning and wander en masse to thy
rocky fastness, and set up such a howl
of supplication at thy greatness that
your ponderous sides might give way
and a worse plague follow than visited
Egypt in her most lousy times. Do
we not live in a progressive age, that
means change? Ever since the first
covered wagon loaded in Pike county,
Missouri, and basked its red sides in
the setting sun of Grande Rondo Val
ley, Union county has gono democrat
ic, and for ages before, for it was then
wild. Then because tho right dog did
not howl at the right, time, a volcano
must burst in our midst, sending out
dense volumes of smoke, having, how
ever, ono redeeming quality itbrought
rain beinir more beneficial to the
county than tho entire wrath of the
democratic party, for tho next two
years at least. Would it not be better
to lay aside all animosities and local
party issues aud look forward with a
spirit of fairness to the first great prin
ciples that have made us in so short a
time the greatest nation on the earth,
believing that they alone have tho
right to govern who are governed and
tliut the voice of the people is right?
The expression of Eastern Oregon was
not so much the result oi panics,
but of an issue. While all candid
thinking people must know that there
is corruption and fraud in both par
ties, and right here he that is not
guilty let him cast the first stone.
Perfection may surround some people,
but I have an idea they are dead. It
would seem the nearer the two parlies
aro equal, tho closer tho balanco and
tho better tho adjustment, acting like
two streams of water pouring into a
basin from opposite diiections, ming
ling together below and finding their
lovol. Then speak not bitterly of man
kind, unsay what thou has said,
mind cannot mind despise, it is itsilf.
The great and good aro friends and ho
is but half great who is not good.
Yours Truly,
