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

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.
