Thk convention nt Olyinpiu lmvo adopted n. prohibition article, which will bo voted upon separately by the people. It will ho a sheer waste of time in taking such a vote. Thk Vindicator, published at East Portland, is authority for the state ment that n democratic daily, a dupli cate of the Ran Francisco Examiner, is soon to ho started in Portland, with Postmaster Pohy aB editor. Thk Pendleton Tribune, republican, actually makes this much of a confess ion : There seems to bo an impress ion among republican leaders that while Commissioner Black went to one cxtremo in the matter of pensions, Tanner is liable to overdo the matter in tho opposito direction. E. JJ. McEi.uov, superintendent of tho state instruction, estimates the population of Oregon at .r)00,000. Tills indicates a most remarkable growth within tho past two years, hut is only nil indicaiion of the vast in crease that will be found the next decade. nt the end of Tin: .1 unction City Pilot thinks wo arc considerably off in favoring Gov. Pcnnoycr as a candidate for rc-clcctioij next June, hut it docs not give any reason why it thinks bo. Wo did not know that tho people of Oregon had changed their opinion regarding Gov. Ponnoycr, which heretofore has been extremely favorable. How do tho "Blaine Irishmen" relish tho spectacle of llussell Harri son dining with Queen Victoria, hob nobbing with the Pnnco of Wales and "toadying to royalty" in general? Tho "spirited foreign policy" for which they voted consists in largo part in "twisting tho British lion's What do thoy think of "Prince sell" as a tail twister? Ex. Ilus- JoAcmiN MiM.i:it, tho poot, is travel ing through Oregon writing up tho country and its resources for an east ern papor. Joaquin is a groat poot and can touch tho poetical lyro with a masters' hand, but when ho comes to writing of cattle, horses and pigs, and dealing in dry statistical figures, ho is out of his element and may bo pronounced a failure. Tin: Salem .Statesman, one of the most rabid republican papers in tho stato, says: It is a reported thoro are twonty-ono applicants for tho position of receiver of tho Jlosoburg land olllce. This pell moll rush for office has developed into hopoless insanity. It's a disgusting sipiabblo. All of which is too had, to bo sure, and a stato of affairs ovidontly not an ticipated by tho Statesman. "Til kiii: is not," said (Jov. Biggs, of Dclowaro, tho other day, "in tho state of Delewaru to-day a single penitent i-I airy. If a man beats his wifo, or sots fire to a neighbor's barn, or breaks into a house, ho isn't shut up with a Jot of other criminals, with full time juul opportunity to learn all their tricks of deviltry that ho did not know before. As u preventative of crime tho whipping post has a much greater ter ror than a term in tho penitentiary, and 1 have never known of a man that eamo back for a second 1om. lie simply leaves the stato. laybo he goes to .Now York; 1 don't know. At any rate ho seeks another homo, and you may rest assured that if ho stays in Delaware he leads a very quiet life. To ho sure it is a relic of harbatism, but it is our way." BTyfWIR'JUCTB A hami'i.h nr imhithction." Tho Ko.sohurg Hoviow sayn: "It is estimated that 12,000,000 J grain bagB will be used in harvesting thia year's crop in Oregon," Prom this tho fanners should learn an important lesson. Tho material out of which sacks are made is all im ported, none being grown in this coun try. Tho duty on raw material is 25 per cent., and on the sucks 10 per cent. This adds at least 2 cents to tho price of ovory sack which tho farmer buys or uses. This uiiuomm a needless tax of? 10,000 a year on tho fanners of this stato on that one necessary article alone. Parmer, what do you think of this? This sum would meet tho or dinary current o.xponsos of tho shito for n whole year. And all is done in tho niuno of "protection." Well thoro may ho "protection" in it for some btfdy, hut there is none for tho farmer, and wo can only pity the farmer who blindly votes to sustain thin unjust policy. Albany Dempornt. Till: HINT ItAIt.KOAt). It may appear to the people through out tho county inasmuch as the sub-f-ibsidy for the extension of the O. & W. T. railroad to this city bus been raited, that tho consummation of tho business is being unnecessarily de layed. This, however, is not the case, and we think when the people of the county hear Mr. Hunt's explanation , of the matter, (which they will in a very few days) his reatons will be en- J tircly satisfactory. As to whether the road will bo ex- tended from Walla Walla or Athena we can only conjecture It will doubt less depend on Walla Walla county being allowed to bond itself. Al though the county subsidy section was defeated in tho W. T. constitutional convention, fricndB arc at work, and it clause in the shape of an amendment will be pushed forward that will allow four counties, viz : Walla Walla, Co lumbia, Yakima and Klickitat to bond the county for certain named aubsi dies; Walla Walla county for $200,000 for the Hunt railroad, ft is boliovc( that this amendment will carry, as tho objection to section 7 was that would privilege any county to bond itself for any purpose, and because the majority of the counties were not in favor of subsidies. Mr. Hunt will bo in Union county. probably not later than tho middle of next week, for the purpose of definite ly settling the business of tho Union countv extension. J Jo will iihk an ex tension of tho tiino set for the comple lion of tho road equal to the time ho has extended to us for raising the sub sidy, which will ho about four months. We presume there will be no objec tions to this by any of tho subscribers In fact it will bo altogether better for all concerned to extend the time Payment of tho nubsidios will be de laved just that much and as tho rail road buildeiH will bo longer in tho val ley, much more money will bo left among us than would ho if the work was hurried. THK "WItONO Ari'I.lOANTS. Tho Portland Oregonian, always speaking for tho corporal ions when their rights or interests clash with those of tho people, denounces the schenio to allow Walla Walla county to issuo bonds in aid of the Hunt rail road, and remarks that "the days of subsidies to rajlroads are past." Since there is no longor any public domain to give; since tho great corporations have obtained all they asked for or can hope for; wo are gravely told, when tho pcoplo inorely ask for tho privilege of burdening themselves a little only four per cout of their as sessable property, and sanctioned by a two-thirds vole that it is (oo late. If a great corporation had asked the privilege, we suspect it would have been quite in fcoason, and a host of precedents would have been advanced in support of the proposition; but when the farmers and business men and people generally ask the same privilege it is a very bad, dangerous and altogether unioasoimblo thing. In othor words, constitutions, like many laws, are to be nuulo for corpo rations, not for the people. Too late! Yes; or too soon, for the peoplo to expect favors which have been bestowed without question or stint at their expeuso on corporations. Stick to your plow and your taxes, yo presumptuous farmcro of Eastern Washington; what right have you to be asking privileges? -E. O. oni.v orrsit.vrivjsH. A newspaper dinpateh says: "Tho strike in the Conuellsville coke region has assumed largo proportions Of tho 11,000 operatives, more than 12, 000 have quit work. The managers of the stiiko assert that over 1000 of the remaining ovens will bo tihut down to-moirow. Tho National Miners' Progressive Asfcoeintion nnd tho Knightt. of Labor nro not working to gether in harmony, for the first time in years." Let's sun; wo believe this adminis tration was put in power chiefly so that there would ho food wages for working-moil and good times all around. But then, those 1.1,000 crea tures aro only oponitivos; 'hey are not capitalists. Ex. Kt'iieUH Her Youth.
