Eiutqii. THURSDAY, JULY 3, S90. I2DITOKIAI. JiOTIJS. A Wisconsin judge lias decided that a dentist can not legally pull a. tooth on Sunday. It ha.s not yet been declared that n child can be legally born on that day, but tho question is thought to be pending. An exchange utters a truth, that Union and many other towns will do well to consider, when it says : "The success of every place depends on tho number of its manufacturing enter prises and the amount of its monthly pay-rolls and without labor being em ployed there cannot bo much prosperi ty. Hhai.th officer Dr. J. T. Uinklcy, of Tacoma, has been black balled by tho Medical Society of Tacoma, because he -advertised his profession in tho news papers. Now society ought to black ball Tncoma Regulars, for any profess ion that can't afford lo let the public know where the recipient of public patronage resides or has his office so he may bo" easily found, when wanted, is about as fanatical, as our bluest blue laws ever were. V. W. Journal. DaVo Thompson is said to bo en gaged in painting his ear red prepara tory t going out on tho war-path. He thinks that $00,000 boodle which ho distributed throughout the state did not reach tho honest voter, in fact that it did not get any further than tho pockets of those whom ho trusted to distribute it. Dave is protty near xight in his surmises. In Union coun ty they left Dave's case in tho hands of tho Lord and blow tho boodlo in on iho county soat contest. Juht now Stanley is full of the idea of transporting negroes from the south ern states of America to Central Africa. Tho prcciso sito fixed upon is tho Up per Congo forest country, 25,000 miles in extent, which Stanley estimates would provide for each of tho negroes of tho South something liko a square milo of land for his inheritance. The climate is healthy, abounding in navi gablo rivers, with hills and valleys to diversify tho sccnory. It struck Stan loy in passing through it that it resem bled Arkansas, Mississippi, and Louis iana, without their swamps. Any th ing might bo grown on it, ho says, from oranges, sugar cane and cotton of sub tropical lands to tho wheat of Calif or nia and tho rice of South Carolina. It would scom that it is about timo for Mr. Hunt to establish the lino of his railroad through this city and loeato depot grounds. His delay in doing so is somewhat retarding tho growth of tho city as many do not liko to orcct exponsivo buildings, particularly busi ness housos, without knowing tho lay of tho ground. Tho city council will bo asked at its next meeting to grant a franchiso to tho motor com pany to construct lines through tho various streets and will bo somewhat hampered in their deliberations by not knowing what streets, if any, Mr. Hunt will want to occupy. The people- have guaranteed him depot grounds and right-of-way in and out of tho city, and will comply with their agree ment, and very reasonably expect him to state what ho wants at an early a date as possible. PAi'KUH notifying thoir opponents of a contest of tho recent election in this county were tiled this week by sovoral of tho candidates who wore counted out by reason of frauds por potratcd in La Oroudo prooiuct. Tho delay iu commencing tho contest, wo presume, was to give tho opposing candidates timo nnd opportunity to voluntarily withdraw which it was thought that some of, them at least would do, as they must bo fully cogni zant of tho manner in which there alleged ulection was brought about. It seems howover that they were not built that way; henco tho contest. None of tho offices in question have emoluments sufficient to causo any ono o take much trouble in securing them, but a candidate who knows himself to lmvo been elected by tho legal voters of tho county, naturally dislikes to stop down at tho command of a few political tricksters backed by a mob of iguorant foreigners. As this contest will bring to light tho frauds, expose tho methods resorted to, and, ultimately, result in tho arrest ami punishment of tho rhiglondors, it will moot tho approval of every law abiding oithou of tho county. It will bo eecu whether it is worth whilo to hold any moro elections in Union oouuty or not. Amos K. Joni:s. Tho Philadelphia Times, an inde pendent paper, speaking of tho enor mous increase in pension appropria tions, says: "Six years after tho war, when General Garfield, as chairman of Appropriations, reported tho pension appropriations of ifSS.OOO.OOO, he ex cused the amount and justified the passage of the measure, because, as he stated, that was tho largest bum that could over be called for to pay pensioners, as from that lime the list would decline. KoW' twenty years later, our ponsion expenditures are up to $ 170,000,000 with reasonable pros pect of reaching the enormous sum of $200,000,000. When Lincoln became president tho entire revenues of the government, in cluding proceeds of public lands, v.'cro cta than $00,000,000.' Now, twenty- five years after peace, and our nation al debt no longer oppressive, tho ex penses of the government are over $1,000,000 each day ; they will reach to $100,000,000 or $150,000,000 next year; and a large Treasury deficit is as certain at the closing of the year as is the rising of the sun. j Tho question thatyill soon demand tho'feober consideration of intelligent men of all parlies Jfc-llow long can tho nation bear this strain upon the commerce, trade aqtl industry of the country? One yearfbf short crops or any linancial revulsion toward which we arc rushing headlong to satiate the greed of i silver tpcculatois, would swing tho pendulum in violence from profligacy to tho side of economy, and then what would bo tho fato of a $200, 000,000 annual pension system?" HOW TIIKV KICKKO. As long as tho high tariff for tho Fun-of-lt-Only Party could grasp enough of tho farmers and toilers to keep the influential classes in good temper, all wont merrily and whon there was a call for "soap" or "grease" tho "fat-frying" yielded unlimited supplies of lubricating fluid and the machine worked "just as c-a-s-y!" But the expenses have gono on in creasing and, unfortunately, tho toil ers aro rather poor, and getting ooss, whilo tho farmers, though as willing as ever to bo sheared for the good old cause, have neither tleeco nor hide left. So it becamo necessary to raiso sonic part of the revonuo at tho expense of tho influential ones. And how they howl! "Call that Protection I" they shouted "Why we'll have to pay part of it! That's not tho kind of Protection wo want! Wo want tho kind under which Iho farmers and toilers pay, while wo 'uphold American Industry,' and salt away tho balances!" And there is a "great cry and littlo wool!" as Speaker Reed said whon ho sheared tho High Tariff hog. Hayes Valley Advertiser. fiooi) aiivici:. . j Some days since tho students of tho Ohio Stato Univorsity hold a demo cratic convention for the nomination of candidates for president and vice president. Tho convention was hold in strict accordance with party custom, and resulted iu tho nomination of Mr. Cleveland for president and Governor Campbell for second place. Mr. Clove laud was advised of this action and last Saturday tho convention received a loiter from tho ex-president in recogni tion of tho compliment, iu which ho bays: "1 received tho dispatch signed by you and othors with pleasure, as an cvideneo of friendship and kindness which caused mo gratification. Hut I know that you will not fail to under stand mo when 1 say I am euro there are questions and topics which press upon the minds of our people tho so lution and treatment of which aro of vastly great or importance than tho po litical fortunes of any man. 1 do hope that tho students of tho Univorsity of Ohio will appreciate this fact and will see thoir full measuro of political duty in laboring to enforco tho doc trines of true domocraey and in retriev ing tho people from tho delusions which boset them to thoir undoing." Tho altitude of tho leaders of tho republican party on tho silver question is inimical to the best interests of tho peoplo as has been nearly every meas ure espoused by them for eovorul years past. The St Louis Post-Diflpateh very truthfully ys: "Tho passage of a freo-coinogo silver bill through tho senate is in the nature of an earthquake to the republican parly. It is tho enter ing wudgoof a spirit in tho party which throatons dire disasters. Speaker Komi and the president receive direct mlapa iu the face and tho bill proionte Hut alter native of cacritluiug uithur tho money power or tho voloru republicans, Thuro will bu some lively thinking done In administration oirelos fur tome timo to come." In sarcastically alluding to the claim of some of the Oregon towns that the census enumerator has not made a full count, it occurs to the East Oregonian to also demand a special inspector and it wants him lo come on the Fourth, of July.
