THE OREGON SCOUT. AMOS K. JONKS KDITOH. City and County Official Paper. Thursday, Murcli J37, 18JJ0. TUB l'KNSIOX CKAZE. Our Washington correspondent writes as follows concerning pensions nnd pension legislation : "The common saying Unit republics are ungrateful cannot be applied to this republic's treatment of those who have been disabled in its military serv ice. The pension fund is seventy millions, with the prospect that it will bo increased during the present session by the small bills and general pension legislation not including a measure presently to bo considered to an amount nbovo ono hundred milliois per annum. The proposition sup ported by Gov. If ovcy of Indiana, for tho payment of a general service pen sion will largely increase this amount if enacted. There nro about twclv hundred thousand pensioners and at tho proposed lalo of eight dollars pe month the sum per annum would bo $1 lf),20(),000. A sepcrate measure pro viding for arrearages carries about $000,000,000 additional. These vari ous sums when added transcend tho abihtv of ordinary minds to com prehend and tho average citizen can not discover tho ways and means for raising tho sum total. Let him pon dor tho problem over so long. Uuttho people elected tho Congress of the United States and tho wholesalo in crease of tho pension list is all right if ho people agree to it. If tho tax-payer cannot stand it his voice will surely bo heard in the land and that before many days." T1IK AlJSTltAI.IAN J1A1.I.OT SVSTKM. The Australian ballot system, if adopted, will protect scciety from two classes of voters, both of whom, tho ono voluntarily and tho other involuntarily, are a menace alike to the constitution, good laws, and good government. It will protect tho coerced voter, ho who is now driven to tho poles by hard task masters, from all intermeddling on tho part of those who compel him at tho present time to vote as thev dictato or loso his position and with it the means to support himself and family, and, in protecting him, it will protect society from tho evil iniluonce of those who would employ tho ballot for purely Bullish ends. It will also largely protoct society from tho bribe-giver and tho bribe-taker, since thoro are few Dudleys who will pay for votc.t in "blocks of live" when thoy can have no possible guar antee that tho receiver of tho biibo will voto as ho agrees to. Ho who will soil his voto is not tho man whoso word will bo trusted oven by those who trallio in personal honor. Hogues aro never implicitly trusted by rogues. i.N(!i:usomas sri:i:mi. Col. Itobert 0. I ngersoll recently de livered an address before the New York .State liar Association up m "Crimes Against Criminals." Tho following is a portion of tho brilliant peroration : "Wo know something of ourselves, of tho averago man, of his thoughts, passions, fears and aspirations; some thing of his sorrows and his joys, his weaknessoH, his liability to fall; some thing of what ho resists tho strug gles, tho victories, and tho failures of his life. Wo know somothing of tho tides and currents of tho mysterious aim ; something of tho circuits of tho wayward winds; but wo do not know where tho wild storms aro born that wreck and rend. Noithor do wo know in what strange realms the mists and clouds are formed that dim and darken all tho heaven of tho mind, nor whonec comes tho tempest of tho brain in which tho will to do, sudden as tho lightning's Hash, seizes and holds n man until thu dreadful deed is done that leaves a eurso upon tho soul wo do not know. Our ignorance should make us hesitate. Our weak ness should make us merciful. 1 can not more fittingly close this address than by quoting tho prayer of tho Hud dist: '"IprayTheo to havo pity on tho vicious. Thou hast already had pity on tho virtuous bv making them so." Till! democratic central committee for tho state of Oregon, assembled at Salem the lttth day of March, 18110, and appointed Portland as tho place and Thursday, tho 21th day of April 1BD0, as tho time for holding thu con vention for thodumooratio party of thu statu of Oregon. Tho ropiesontation will consist of 102 dolega'es, Thecoiu initteo recommends that precinct pri maries bo held tho 10th day of April, and tho various county conventions tho 10th day of April, unless county committees determine dillbrently. I nion county is untitled to 7 delegates to the statu convention. The welfare of any county depends, chiefly, upon having a good audV'-fficicnt , county brum!, nnd great care should be , used in selecting men for that position. At our next election there will bo one commissioner and a judge to elect. As Mr. McDonald, of Summcrvillo, holds over it is conceeded by all that tho new commissioner should conic from the southern portion of the county. The people of that section should, therefore, be looking around for the proper man. Commissioner Ik nnehofl' Inn b rn an honest, pains taking ollicial and so far as Tin; Scon is concerned it would not be displeased to sec him servo another term. Mr. C. D. McDowell, of Summcrvillo, announces himself in this issue of Tin: Scout as a candidate for the oHico of County Recorder, subject to tho decision of the republican convention. Mr. McDowell is a merchant of Summorville and is also the postmaster there. He is vcrv popular with all who know mm una n nommaiea would, no doubt, make a hard light. pcoajram'Ji.g rairaimiJS.'aKm.'Pcq .lust as foon as a citv gets to boom ing and displaying somo stylo thoy begin to say mean things about it.

Miss Gibson who for some years past has been a resi dent of Union is tho acknowledged belle of tho valley, and Charlie pos sesses all of the qualifications of honor- iblc manhood. After a few weeks visiting among thoir many friends thoy will bo at homo to all at thoir ranch, on drv gulch, and lend each other that help ing hand in the allairs of life that makes matrimony a true and joyful blessing. 11.
