A cam. lias been issued for u ti:itim.
nl convention of Grccnlmckors to pru
paio for tlio campaign of 185)2
Point, if you cm, to u single state
in which thcro has been republican
gains in any election within two years.
It is quite probablo that tho coiibus
now being taken will show that Ore
gon has a population sullieiont to en
title us to two congressmen.
Ax exchange says that it has boon
proposed to call VaslringtOn the "LitJ
tie Hatchet" state, which is a good
idea Woll advanced. Then perhaps
tome of thoeo pcoplo who aro forever
grieving about the pimilnrity of namo
to the capilol city, enn use this as a
substitute in addressing thqir corres
pondence to this state. It would ro
j quire lint, a short time for the dullest
I postal ck rk who can succeed in pass
ing a civil fcorvice board to got onto
it and make no further mistakes.
They will also learn that thoro is only
one part of the union whoro tho in
habitants "cannot tell a lio." and that,
in Washington, the Litllo JIalchot
state.
JUSTICES AND CONSTABLES
In 18S0 tho vote of Oregon was
something over .17,000 and ilm popula
tion 174,7(18. Placing the vote of the
state at tho recent election at 75,000,
tho present population must hii nearly
350,000, double what it was ton yeara
ngo.
Tin: newspaper man having origi
nality enough about him to hend his
article, descriptivo of marriage, with
any other words than "Wedding Hells,"
deserves n chromo. Not many chn.
mos could bo used in Oregon on that
lay-out.
It will savo'timo and trouble to an
swer all questions put by the census
taker, oven if they aro of tho prying
sort. Tho only alternative is a tine of
$100 or a trial that will cost u good
deal moro monoy, to say nothing of
timo and bother.
If a tariff of fiO por cent.'will con
duce to the gancral prosperity, why
would not taxation to tho amount of
100 per cent, double tho universal
blessing? The experiment of (axing a
nation into prosperity might as woll bo
carried to its logical conclusion.
Tin: now republican tariff bill lakes
about !f!),000,000 per annum off tho to
bacco tax and adds over $1 5,000,000 to
tho waolon goods. Ought not tho
workingman with a largo family ro
joico with exceeding great. joy that tho
tariff is in tho hands of its fiiemls?
It is stated by those who claim to
know that Davo Thompson is figuring
to got a grip on tho U. P. railroad in
such a manner as to givo him consid
erable authority in regard to its man
agement. Davo is hotter Biiitod for
that job than tho one ho didn't got,
recently.
' OiiNicitAl. Fkhkmont thinks immi
gration should bo stopped for thirty
years, to givo tho children of foreign
parentage timo to grow to citizenship.
Many thousands of American citizens,
foreign born as well as native, think
tho Btimo way, hut neither of tho polit
ical parties daro taoklo tho proposition.
Cosiri-ATirrs have beon mado to us
in regard to the manner in which tho
census is being taken in this precinct.
Judge Oniig, tho complainant, states
that tho enumerator did not take
down tho number of bond of stock
ownt'd by him, although ho hug 555
bend of .hordes and 25 head of cattle.
The onnmeralor'H attention was called
to it, but he declined on tho grounds
that the judge was not a stockraiser or
agriculturist and stock could only be
enumerated under thoso heads. If
this ia tho enumerator's idea of it, ho
cortainly has not tho right conception
of what tho census is for and should
)M)8t up in the business boforo ho goes
any farther. One of tho objects of the
census is to aecortaiu tho amount of
stock in tho country. Every man
who owns an animal is a slockraisor to
Hint extent and tho animal should bo
counted. Unless this is done tho cen
sus will not indicate tho amount of
3tock in Union county by 30 por cent,
and a very poor showing will be made.
Tho same is applicable to ovorything
olso that i to lio noted by tho census
ehuniorator.
Gooii HW3 From Sanger.
A riiYHiciA.v in tho Iowa sonato has
introduced a bill to roquiio every phy
sician to place in a general newspaper
in his community a standing card,
staling namo of collogo froiii which ho
graduated, longth of timo in practice
and names of cities or towns whoro ho
was formerly located. Tho bill is a
good ono and should bo passed.
Tin: farmers in a number ot tho
counties in tho state aro refusing to
givo agricultural statistics to tho as
.sessors, upon tho ground that it is fur
nishing information for tho grain gam
blora. Grain gamblers handle little
grain and have little to do with fixing
pricos. They simply hot on what tho
prico will bo at a certain time, and
whoever loses pays over tho money.

William A. Hainni, says tho linker
City Hlnde came in from Sanger yes
terday, lie says UfUt camp .is boom

strikes of free gold oro havo recently
been made. Among those are Jack
Solo's claims, tho Gridiron and t'o
Gridiron's sistor, in both of which tho
owner has a seven foot'ledgo of -free
gold rock which will carry 25 to $50
to tho Ion. Mr. llamm says that, he
took out ono pioco, fi few days since,
about as big as a eouoanut, . that con
tajns fully $50, while, tho whole faco of
tho works shows moro or loss freo gold
to tho naked cyo. It is tho gonoral
belief among tho minors at Sanger
that tho Gridiron is a veritable bonan
za. Work is being pushed on tho
Samiwou Itoy claim which is also look

milling oro. His confidently predict

Tho great and only Bill Nyo has this
to say of tho salvation army : "When
they know the groat adversary of souls
as woll as J tlo they will not try to
scare him with a cross-eyed woman or
hive him and his host by boating tho
tamborino, tho saodbut and tho land
lord. Humanity, charity, soft soap
and unselfishness will do moro toward
giving Satan that "tired feeling" than
all tho loud onion-flavored hosannns of
misguided men and bloating women
who seek to harass tho hosts of hell
with a bass drum, while their own
children, with empty stomachs and
unlauudried noses, weep at homo."
Oun Dig crook correspondent wants
to know what is going to bo done in
regard to tho election frauds in this
county. Wo aro unable to givo him
any roliablo information on tho sub
ject, but aro freo to say that unless the
perpetrators and instigators of thosa
outrages aro eont to tho penitentiary,
where they belong, tho pooplo of Un
ion county will havo u groat deal of
trouble with them jot. Thoy aro ovwi
now showing their fangs again. W
aro informed that they now say they
will not rest till thoy got tho soiiUiarn
portion of tho county out off into Jln
kor, and damage Union na much as
powilblo. An example . cannot b
made out of thu ringloitdera any too

A DlsGraecful Tragoily.

presenting a spectacle Uiat was cer
tainly humiliating to tho wifo. Pro
ducing a revolver, she shot her hus
band dead and then plnood tho weap

Georgio had ninny frlenih in Union who
.will bo grieved to hear of her death. Tho
following notice of hur death vc take from
the Piacerville Democrat:
"This lovely bud, so young, so fair,
Culled hence by early doom,
Just mini) to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise would bloom.''
The news of the death of Miss Georgio
Hall, on Sunday Inst, came very suddenly
upon most of tho community, who were
not aware of the young lady's critical ill
ness. Hlio hud been in bad health for some
time past in fact, ever since tho family
went to Oregon, where Miss Hall was pros.
tratcd with typhoid fever, which left its
traces behind, and from which tho young
lady never fully recovered. Soon after
sbo returned here she gradually grew
worse, until on Sunday noon death came
to relieve her, but carrying consternation
and uorrow not only to tho family, but to
a largo number ot young acquaintances
and oldoV friends. The funeral services
took place at the family residence on Mon
day afternoon at .'! o'clock, Bcv. C. C.
l'uirco olllciating. Not only n largo num
ber of friends of the family were present,
but many schoolmates of tho deceased,
who marcliod in a body to tho grave, and
there, as a last token of their direction and
remembrance, covered the coflln and par
tially tilled tho grave with flowers. After
interment the grave was hidden by a iiioks
of llonil offerings, of which thoro were near
ly llfty placed thero by loving hands of
friends and schoolmates who will sadly
miis Georgio from their midst.
