TinilSSDAY. AUGUST 20, 181)1. AN OTII V.K IT.NSION SOIIHMIJ. The Washington clerks of depart ments have u plan to make a largo in creaK; in the pension business of tho government. According to reports from there an organized movement is afoot to bring congress to retire on three-fourths pay all clerks who havo served thirty years und all who havo readied sixty-five years of age. From tho figures prosonted by tho advocates of the scheme the cxpoiif-c would bo moderato to begin with, though they prudently ignore tho question of future results. There is no likelihood that tho com ing congress will look with favor on any such scheme. Tho ponsion roll that tho last congress has saddled on tho country will tax tho best efforts of several future congresses to provide far paying its charges. But if tho army pension roll was a mere triflo there would bo strong reasons for op posing a civil ponsion list. Why should tho employees of tho govern ment bo any more fuvored in tho mutter of their pay than tho employees of private partiesT Tho latter havo to lay up out of tho earnings of their working years enough to support them in old ago, or elso tboy must dopond on tho bounty of others. Why should n man in public employ bo relieved from the need to exercise thrift and economy? Why should it not bo nec essary for him to lay up something out of his income? Thoro is some justice in providing pensions for men who arc omployed in a service that exposes them to injuries and death. Tho soldier, tho fireman or tho police man runs tho risk of being changed from a vigorous man to hopeless in valid or a corpso by a shot from tho enemy, a falling wall, or a dosporuto ! criminal It is fair that a promise of j support should balance these risks. But clerks in departments run no risks other than those that men in all walks of life must run. Tho employees of tho government, whether national, state or city, aro always struggling to increase) their pay and decrease their work, and they aro often successful. From tho struggle to secure appointments to the public service it will probably bo u long time before the government will havo to oiler a pension to secure men to do its clerical work. When that time conies it had better oiler a premium to every one, or, better still, go out of business. Tho country will not need any govern ment when that titno conies. Nxaini nor. HOW MUCH TO OCT. Thoro is no differenco of opinion among democrats us to tho need of re ducing the appropriations by congress next winter. It muy bo a matter of pride to republicans that their congress earned the title of "Billion," and broke all tho records in tho lavishncss of its expenditures, but democrats do not share it. They meun that there shall be a liberal shavo of the outluys, but opinion has not unified upon the amount of retrenchment. Judge Hoi mun, of Indiana, who has a lengthy record in congress as an objector to appropriations of a doubtful character, insists that a round hundred millions must bo shaved. Others fear that in attempting so much failure to effect anything will result. In tho Uolman schonio tho figures aro put at $27fy 000,000 for tho current expenses, in cluding pensions. Theso ho would not touch. It is not believed that there will bo an ollbrt to cut down any hon est claimant a penny in his lawful duos. There is, undoubtedly, groat room for reform in tho management of tho ponsion office and the elimination of frauds from tho rolls, but the great saving will not bo in that quarter. A reduotion of 10 pur cent of tho billion voted out by tho Heed dispensation is un idea that should bo turned over in tho minds of members of tho now con gress mid familiarized before tho ses sion. It is a good figure to aim at. The country expects the democrats to vludluate their professions by their work, and Ice. limn the $100,000,000 will not moot tho loqulrumonts. It miut bo shown (hut tho dtimooruts huvu not Ltiuii lmply uiug campaign f - -I 1 "if i'tMVH v w''jwiij'u 1 itrtjliMrrtlii) lioilMi'at ir n liiu ai.uk u i , r ,, , . . r 'I 'i'' 'i a tUui' 1 i! wMi5!iiii "A I w ,Hnui,u lMt,mU' hmm m)im,,u' wiwr,a muaMnt buncombe in berating tbc lute con gress for oxtravngiuicc. It takes more nerve and courage to cut down tban it does to let tlio big figures slip through, but tho aituation must bo boldly con fronted. An imperative duly of tho democratic liouso will be to retrench. There will bo no little difficulty in find ing places to save 100,000,000, no doubt, as t c republicans have exer cised great ingenuity in fixing tho main outlays so Unit they cannot bo touched. But tho mark should be high, and tho approach made us near us possible without tho sacrifice of any public interest. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Till: FAKMKll'S VIKW. There is an old farmer in Michigan who lias always labored under the im pression that if he over scratched a namo on a republican ticket the devil would at once entwine his digits about his vitals. lie is a deacon in tho vil lage church, and his lapses from the orthodox phraseology of his station havo usually been duo to his abhor lenco of the democratic party. lie has not now been so imbued with spiritual grace as to lovo his old ene mies, but ho has learned to turn a little aside from his old prejudices, und look at somo present practical facts in a way not at all uncommon among intelligent farmers of lato. IIo was expressing himself somewhat at Hills dalo tho other day to the loyal post master, Ool. March, who labored in effectively to rectify his mind. Tho Adrian Press reports his lino of re mark in tin's way : "This tariff is worrying me. I sco butter down to 11 cents. Eggs sold for 10 cents this spring, and now, when the lions are not layin' tboy aro wuth 15, but wo ain't got any to sell. Wool is as good as ever was sheared, und its down 2 cents below what it was last year. We take our surplus wheat to the old country and sell it for gold, and wo can't trade a dollar thoro with out being fined. That's right I Don't roll up your eyes, Kernel, for it's true, and wo want reciprocity not with a fow Brazilian natives or South Ameri can diggers, but reciprocity with tho countries that buy our produce by tho millions and pay cash. We want to trade where we d n please, and at tho next election I guess tho farmer will put on a different uniform before ho goes to tho polls." HKl.KllOUS riCKSHCUTIOH. Tho persecution of a Seventh Day Adventist in Tennesseo because ho worked on Sunday is a singular pro ceeding for an American State. No body protends that this victim of re ligious intolerance was disturbing his neighbors. Ho was plowing on his own land at a distance from any place of worship, but under a mediieval law such as certain misguided Californians havo sought to introduce hero he was arrested, lined, and from present ap pearances will be compelled to consort with crmiuals in jail. A local contemporary thinks that Tonnesseeuns havo a right to wreak religious bigotry on minorities in this fashion, and that if tho members of the minority do not like it they can do as the Jews aro doing in Russia give up their homes und leavo. Thut is not the common ideu of American liberty. Tho principle at tho root of our gov ernment is that every man has a right to do as bo pleases so long us ho does not infringe tho rights ot anybody else. Tho attempt to confine a Seventh Day Adventist to live days' work a week whou other people aro allowed to work six is a disci imiuatiou so unjust that it ought to make aTonnesscean ashamed to acknowledge his State. At this moment there are probably hundreds of murderers in Tonnessco who havo never been molested. It is safe to say that among tho ultra-pious neighbors who havo insisted upon im prisoning an otherwise blameless man because he kept his Sabbath instead of theirs, there aro some who havo taken their guns to church and can look back upon feuds maintained by assassination. The State itsolf, whoso laws make criminals of those who di vide tho week in tho way laid down on Sinia, is guilty of keeping up tho infamous convict lease system, which has been simply a scheme of wholesale murder for gain, und now bus brought the coinmouwoulth to the verge of civil war. lxuuiinor.

A fikm at Cleveland bought last year for $11 a box of the quality of tin plate used for roofing, spouting and general tinning work. For nn invoice of the samo quality fifteen days ago the firm paid $17.50 per box. Sknsations must be scarce at Wash ington when it ia given out that the secretary of the treasury bus informa tion that n band of real, professional thieves havo put up a job to get into tho strong box this month. Thut is un imputation upon the intelligence of the thieves. A perusal of the monthly statements of tho treasurer will show them that the billion-dollar congress has left them little to loot. The report going tho rounds of the press in regard to Turner Oliver being a candidate for tho offico of Secretary of State emanated from the Baker Democrat and is without foundation, although we know of no man better fitted for tho position. He would make as good a nice as any man in tho democratic party from Eastern Oregon. A Tacoma man gave tho saloon keepers written permission to sell his ten-year old boy all the liquor that he wanted, und the boy was picked out of tho gutter dead drunk. The licenses of the saloon men should be revoked and the unnatural father should be placed in a position where he would be unable to give any more written per missions. East Oregonian. In Mississippi tho new constitution provides for the prepayment four months before an election of a poll-tax as a necessary qualification for tho exercise of the suffrage. The result of this provision has been, us was proba bly anticipated, to place the state se curely in tho control of a white major ity. The negroes would not, as a rule, pay the poll-tax. About 8 per cent, of the whito voters are disfranchised for the samo reason; but tho majority of qualified white voters will not bo less than 50,000. Tiik fifth annual convention of tho Oregon Press Association will convene at Astoria on the 28th inst. and con tinue three days. A very interesting programme has been arranged, includ ing u visit to the government jetty and Gearhart park. A number of import ant and well prepared papers will be i end on various subjects of interest to jour nalists. We would like very much to attend tho meeting, and will if we can possibly do so. School Fund Distribution. Hon. Phil. Metschan, state treasurer, has just finished tho distribution of the interest arising from the common school fund, as made by the board of school land commissioners among tho various counties of tho state. Tho total number of persons in tho stato between the ages of four and twenty years is 105,022, and tho total amount of funds subject to distribution was $153,151.90, giving to each county the sum of $1.45 per capita, tho same ratio that it was in 1800, although tho num ber of children is G0IIG more, showing a healthy increaso in the fund.
