KDlTOltlAL, NOTES.
Tun republicans made much of the
motto "protection" but the word covers
41 counterfeit and a swindle. In the
last nnulysia we find that it protects
the clashes but not the masses, and un
der a government by the people that it
is sure to bo fatal in the end. Jackson
ville Times.
Tiikv have no use for a prohibition
party in Nevada. Very nearly com
plete returns from the Hugo Drush
state fhow only eight votes cast for
General Fisk. Wo imagine these eight
men are tenderfeet; that is to say they
are not yet acclimated, and aro unfa
miliar with the ways of tho country J
Halt Lake- Herald.
Somh shares of national bank stock,
of tho par value of $100 each, sold at
auction the other day in Now York for
over $3000 each. That is, while the
bankers and bond-holders have made
over 300 per cent, under the high tar
rill' system, the farmers have been
mortgaging their farms, and the work
men have been receiving lower and
lower wages.
Tine fact that California and Oregon
give republican majorities show that
tho Chineso question on this coast is a
dead issue; that tho people desire tho
Chinamen to como and that employ
ers propose to employ cheap labor
oven if tho workingman starves. Jn
other words, they believe that a China
man is as good as a white man as long as
ho behaves himself.
A coititi:si'o.vnK.NT asks : "If Gener
al Harrison were to die before tho
meeting of the Electoral College,
would it bo necessary to have another
election, or would Morton bo chosen
President?" In tho event of Cieneral
Harrison's death, tho electors would bo
free to select any other man, and they
would not necessarily bo hound to tako
Morton, though they would probably
do to.
Dum.NO Frcsidcnt Cleveland's ad
minstration, according to tho ofllcial
figures now published 8:j,lf8,9i)0 acres
of the public domain were restored to
the people from the graip of corpora
tions, which were unlawfully holding
it with tho aid and connivance of pre
vious adminstrations. You may mark
it down, however, that no more land
will bo taken from tho corporations af
ter next March.
Tin: fish commissioner has writton
to Senator Dolph that ho proposes to
take up and ship, in January next, a
carload of lobsters and white lish to
tho coast of Oregon. Tho car will bo
dispatched from Wood's Hill, with a
number of maturo lobsters, sulliciont to
establish several colonies at mitablo
points on tho coast of Oregon and
Washington territory. At Northvillo
station somo soven or eight millions of
white fish eggs will bo taken on and
hakhed enroute. Tho white lish will
bo planted in Wyoming and Dakota,
as well as in Oregon.
Tninti: i'h ono person holding olllco
under tho President whom Washing
toniaiiH will bo sorry to lose, and that
is tho charming woman who holds the
oflleo of his wife. Who has endeared
herself by a thousand graceful and
thoughtful acts. In hor persistant ef
fort to eradicate tho "fast sot" from so
ciety, in her acts of charity and benev
olence, in all hor associations, Mrs.
Cleveland has won people to her. Mr.
Cleveland may have made mistakes.
His wife has made none. And in tho
hocinl world her diflloultics havo not
been few, even in comparison with tho
ditllculties that beset a President.
O, tiiiihi: trusts aro of no interest to
fanners and Htck-raisoi-s; of course
not. They are entirely "private af
fairs." In tho investigation now going
on in Chicago it was proven that al
though cattle bring a higher price in
eastern markots than they did three
years ago, the price received by the
western btook growers is fifty per cent
lcfcs. Mr. Jefferson Reynolds, of Las
Vegan, New Mexico, testified that live
years ago ho got $37 a head for cat tie
and now only $11. By tho way, wo
beliovo President-elect lhurisou is a
member of ono of tlioc little "private

people of Eastern Oregon. They have

selves and to that end Jiavo a right to
a statute creating a term of the su-
promo court in our own territory,
thereby saving to each litigant, from
00 to Ji'oOO in each caibo that must go
to that court for final settlement.
While our Portland neighbors might
and doubtless would got a slice of this
extra expense in a majority of cases
that go fiom Eastern Oregon to Salem,
yetwopiotest that this selfish inter
medling to the detrimont of our local
intercuts is contemptible. The claim
that we havo no library in Eastern
Oregon is false. Tho Bar of Pendle
ton alono, wo aro reliably informed,
has over 5000 well selected law book's.
Wo ate pleased to nolo, however, that
tho mojority of our Eastern Oicgou
exchanges favor having a term of tho
supremo court in thiss eelion of
tho stato. Even tho Salem Slulesmun,
which would hardly bo expected to
favor a move of tho kind, says in re
gard to this iniitlor :
If there is no constitutional object
ion, the proposition is a fair one, and
just to tho people of that portion of
tho slate. It would bo a great saving,
of time and expense to litigants and
tho extra inconvenience to the judges
could bo remedied by an increase in
their salaries. Only one serious ob
jection just now arises to tho proposi
tion, nameiy, iiiuiino court and coun
cil would bo far removed from tho
largo law library of tho stale at Salem.
hven then it is a question if that would
not bo a beneficial change. "Tho
books" would not be to much relied
upon, and tho wearisome citation of
cases would be eliminated to a great
degree from tlio arguments of counsel.
Uy all means let the people of Eastern
Oregon havo a session of the supremo
court in their section.
As to tho constitutionality
of tho
move wo aro unable to speak, but if
the opinion of pumiinont attorneys
may be taken ao authority, there is
nothing in tho constitution preventing
it. So far as a largo law library is
concerned, like our contemporary, wo
think it just poasiblo that it would be
beneficial to have our attorneys
weaned, at intervals, from libraries and
law books. By relying lees on written
authorities and more on common-
censo and tho eternal titiuvs of things,
our Solons would doubtless acquire
more originality, and justice would bo
ground out quite as satisfactorily.
Kastern Oregon is growing altogether
too big, and Jior interests too vast, to
bo ignored in the future as alio has boon
in tho past years. ConeesMons will
have to bo made to us from time to
time as occasions arise, and should bo
made freely as a spirit of jtutioo do
inands, else our people will oonoludo,
much sooner than they otherwise
would, that tho interests of the Inland
Umpire will be better subserved by tho
division of tho stato.

To tho uninitiated it bus always buuu
a mystery why butter and eheoso were
hard to procure in a country celebra

yot it is generally found throughout
tho stoekgrowing regions of the wet,
that the people import tuoee ueoeswi

ago 1 was first struck with this iiecu
liarity while traveling quito extensively
through tho btttlog and territories.
The only place where 1 was sure to
find no butter and to bsve my codec

prime movers in these enterprises are
leading business men of tho various
cities, and not farmers or stock men,

the advantage of converting' their pro

than they now do. This lesson has

An editorial over the signature of (J
M. Irwin appears in tho Republican
Wherein it is stated that a church
committee met in this city last week
for the purpose of investigating the
charges made against him, and that
no prosecuting witness making an ap
pearance, the matter was investigated
and he was acquitted.
Although Brother Irwin seems to
think differently, Thk Scour has no
desire to make him appear worse than
ho is. Tho copy of tho charges made
against him was sent tons for publica
tion, and as we are running a news
paper wo saw no reason for suppress
ing it. As to the truth or falsity of
the charges wo know little and care
less. Brother Irwin says ho has nover
injured us. The result of his editorial
venture demonstrates that he has not,
but when he allied himself with a con
temptible little clique in Fnion, with
the avowed purpose of running us out
and ruining us in business, and sailed
into tho journalistic field with the re
mark that tho "fittest will survive,"
his will was very apparent.
The sum total of his editorials last
week was to tho effect that Brother
Flenner is a lecherous wretch, a dc
baueher of chastity whoso vile practices
under tho guise of a minister should
consign him to the penitentiary; that
Tin: Scoff is a vile sheet, and has
shown it.s dastardly nature on divers
occasions; that President Cleveland is
a liar, and that ho (Brother Irwin) is
a very good man, indeed. If tho con
elusions arrived at consoles Brother
Irwin in the least, wo have no objec
tion to his enjoying them to the fullest
extent.
DHNIKS TIIK AI.I.IHSATION.
In our issuo of Nov. 20th, was an
editorial in reforenco to tho great ac
tivity exhibited by somo of the repub
licans in tlieir efforts to secure some
kind of anotlieial position, particularly
the 1 (Jrande land olfice. In the ar
tiofo referred to occur thuso words:
Wo are told that Senator Dolph was
utterly disgusted at tho way he was
hoseiged on his recent visit to Union."
This teems to havo offended some of
our republican friends, and the article
was clipped out and sent to Mr. Dolph,
with an intorogation as to whether it
was correct or not. ifb replies as fol-
) lows:

J. N. DOLPH.
The statement referred to was made
to us by a very prominent republican,
j who claimed that he was an old ac-
J quaintanco of Mr. Dolpli, and had had
j a long talk with him. In copmpicncc
j we gave his statement currency, think-
ing that it came from the inner circle
of the repilican camp. As will be
seen Mr. Dolph says our informant was
drawing considerably on his imagina-

A Common Cold
Is often thc beginning of serious affec
tions of tho Throat, Bronchial Tubes,
and Lungs. Therefore,, tho importanco
of early ond effecttvo treatmont cannot
he overestimated. Ayor's Cherry Pec
toral may always bo relied upon for tho
speedy euro of a Cold or tJough.
Last January I was attacked with a
severe Cold, which, by negluct and fre
quent exposures, becamo worse, finally
settling on my lungs. A terrible cough
soon followed, accompanied by pains in
the cheat, from which I suffered intense
ly. After tryinp various remedies, with
out obtaining relief, I CMnmcnced taking
Ayor's Cherry Pectoral, and was
Speedily Cured.
I am satisfied that this remedy saved my
life. Jno. Webster, Pawtucket, P.. I.
I contracted a sovero cold, which
suddenly duvolopcd into Pneumonia,
presenting dangerous and olwtinalo
symptoms. My physician ordered tho
usoof Ayer's Cherry Pectoral. His in
structions woro followed, and tho result
was a rapid and permanent cure.
II. IS. Stimpson, Rogers Pralrio, Tex.
Two years ago I suffered from a nevcro
Cold, whioh sottled on my Lungs. I con
sulted various physicians, and took tho
medicines thoy prescribed, but received
only temporary relief. A friend induced
mo to try Ayer's Chorry Pectoral. After
taking two bottles of tills medicino I was
cured. Since then I havo given tho Pec
toral to my children, and consider it
The Best Remedy
for Colds, Coughs, and all Throat and
Lung difloasos, over used in my family.
Robert Vanderpool, Mcadvillo, Pa.
Somo time ago I took a slight Cold,
which, being neglected, grew worse, and
settled 011 my Lungs. I had a hacking
cough, and was very weak. Those who
know mo best considered my lifo to bo
in great danger. I continued to suffer
until I commenced using Ayor's Cherry
Pectoral. Less than ono bottlo of this
valuablo medicino cured mo, and I
fool that I owo tho preservation of my
lifo to its curativo powers. Mrs. Ann
Lockwood, Akron, New York.
Ayer's Cherry Pectoral is considered,
here, tho ono great remedy for nil diseases
of tho throat and lungs, and is moro
in demand than any other medicino of its
