KDITOIIIAI. NOTHSi
A white ninn in Ohio who had been
teaching a colored school has received
a notice from the white caps that ho
must leave or furnish n subject for the
undertakers. Tin's is how the people
of tho north lovo the black man.
Tiik hardest blow received by the
jute trust was delivered by tho sturdy
farmers of Georgia. According to the
report of tho state agricultural depart
ment over one-half tho last cotton
.crop in this stato was wrapped in
cotton bagging. Hit the trust again I
It. H. Hutchinson has introduced a
bill in the Washington lcgislatuie,
called tho "llluo Hill," which, if passed,
will prohibit all saloons in tho stato of
Washington from using screen doors,
side rooms or back rooms. Also pro
hibiting them from having music or
playing games of any kind, either for
fun, monoy. or marbles, and not allow
ing them to keep open after ton o'clock.
With tho issue of last Saturday the
Daily Journal of La Grande ceased
publication. Its motto was "littlo
acorns make big trees," which was
good, but in order that tho acorn
may thrive and grow it should bo
placed in suitable soil, Tho soil in

men lacking enterprise for tho paper
to have flourished, hence its demise.
Au, tli rco of tho members ot tho
Ohio legislature who died recently
wero democrats. When the legisla
ture met, tho democrats had eight
majority on joint ballot. This was
reduced to livo by tho deaths of tho
moinbors referred to, and two moro
democrats who aro seriously ill havo
beon taken home, Tho grippe- has
fastened upon several others, ami tho
democrats may lose their mlvimtnin
A conference of twenty primitive
Baptist preachers was held at Jh ush
Mountain, Western North Carolina,
last week, in which tho preachers de
bated on tho coming of Christ, on tho
end of the world, and finally agreed
to preach that tho world would surely
eomo to an end during tho year.
Tho preaching has greatly stirred
up the moro ignorant class among tho
farm people, who beliovo it is no uko
to make any preparations ahead for
crops.
Tin: Journal contains an account of
how three "chumps" from Union wore
made tho victims of a practical joko in
La Grande last week, and goes on to
Bay that it is tho fault of their parents
for their being ho ignorant as to be
taken in that way. They certainly
woro not as big chumps after all as
tho editor of tho Journal made him
holf out to bo at a party given in this
city homo weeks ago. Tho parents of
this editor might have dona him
sonio good during his childood days.
Kkv. M.T. Dvkii, pastor of a Pighton,
Mits., church, has got himself into
quite morions trouble. Ho has attemp
ted to banish from his parish the
games called "Copenhagen," "London
Bridgo," "Postollioc," and all other
games in which hugging and kissing
are practiced. Tho result is, ho has
lost all his friends in town, and it ii
probable ho will bo driven out of tho
place. Tho most remarkable thing
about the affair is said to bo the revel- i
tition it has made of tho prevalence of
tho huuging and kisMng practice.
Many who aro "up in arms" against
tho preachor, aro ladies whom everyone
supposed had not been hugged and
kissed in twenty years.
Goviiitnoit Pk.swoviiu Ls in rceoiptof
letters from several of tho ntisesMirK
of tho (lillbrent counlii'H of thontato re
garding tho call imwd by him for a
convention of tho county UH.ehMirs of
thu stato atl'ortland on February 11th.
They generally signify their iutontion
of being present ami aro of thu opinion
that tho convention will romiltin much
good. Tho county courts in novera!
of tho counties have made appropria
tions to defray expenses, of their re
spective assessors in visiting thi con
vention. Although there is no law
for Buch an expenditure wo beliovo
that they aro justified in o doing as tho
benelit derived will moro than compen
sate tho county for tho outlay. Thu
convention is held for tho purpotto of
scouring, if posnihlo, a more uniform
and equitable tifKcssincut of pioperty
thoughotit tho state. Union oouuty
tihould bo roprcfccntcd and havo her
Miy in tho convention.
Senatok Hoar is more glowing
than truthful when ho says that the
demand for labor in the United States
"has more than kept abreast of tho
general growth of tho country." If so,
what means this army of 1,000,000
men who are always out of work? Tho
demand for labor ought to increase
faster than tho supply, but for some
reason or other it fails to do so. But,
of courto, Mr. Hoar is a trade obstruct
ionist, and can't afford to admit that
labor is not as well off as it should be.
Hoston Globe.
Tin: increased production of corn,
wheat and oats in the Southern States
as compared with production ten
years ago, is over 220,000,001) bushels.
This shows Hint, fast as the people of
the South arc forging ahead in mining
and manufacturing industries, tho
farmers urn keeping step with thorn
and making their advancomont solid
and symmetrical. The now comers
among the Southerners can not begin
to eat up tho excess of bread-stuffs
which the farms are mado to yield,
nor can they spin the excess of cotton.
Philadelphia Record.
Tin; next legislature will provide for
tho erection, within two years there
after, of a new asylum, to bo located
in Eastern Oregon at Union, La
Grande, Pendleton, Athena or Milton.
At least this should bo done, and we I
presume it will be. E. O.
Milton pOHfOFses, as the moat desir
able point, abundance of pure running
water, beautiful sites, shade, and close
proximity to everything ronuircd bv
such an inetitu'ion. Milton Knprlc,
Union, hesiuV j)tWec8eing a that
.ton claims, has tho advanlago of
being n city with n
future and conse
quently is entitled to the establishment
of the asylum at this place. When
the merits of the different places aro
taken into consideration, wo aro not
afraid but that Union will "got there
just the same,"
ISvuhy town 'on tho Sound is
attempting to make itself tho great
sea port of tho northwest. Tacoma,
Seattlo, Port Towmend and Aberdeen
aro all looking forward to the time
when each will bo lllO metropolis of
the noi 'l'Vvcst. There can bp no doubt
that Pugct sound has grand facilities
for seaports and for anchorage, and
eventually will command considerable
trade; but one point, on account of
extra inducements will eclipse tho
others, and it is difficult to dotorinino
which this will bo. Perhaps Seattle,
with her indomitable enterprise and
facilities for trade may win the race.
Tacoma and Port Townsond havo
great inducements, and tho futuro will
only determine which will lead the
others in tho iaco after metropolitan
honors.

A Cove sport captured a lino wild
duck tho other day in rather a peculiar
way. A braco of Mallards woro sotting
near and ho was about to try for them j
hinmilf. .Suddenly, with a gioat roar
of wiugH, u hiMvl; ilnrted nl tho fowl,
! striking one, but with such forco that
the momentum carried the bold assas
sin far past and before ho could fly
back and secure his prey the said sport
cooly walked in and secured tho quiv
ering duck. This is ono way to get
meat, but it rather rough on tho hawk
kind.
