Till: CANADA TJIISTMC.
While on our recent tiip through
the southeastern part of tho eotuity
wo noticed u great many of tho fields
and public l.iyhwayn were lined with
the Canada thistle. We called atten
tion to tho law in ugard to tliw mat
ter a Hhoi t lime ago. Our road super
visors should Hco that the law is
enforced, an the weed is very destruct
ive and dangerous when it once gctH a
etarl. For t e benefit of all wo give
tho law in regard to thin matter and
hope to Nee it enforced. Sections 1,
2, 3, -1, 5 and (! of tho general law of
Oregon for 188'J road aw folloWH:
Section 1. That it Hhall bo tho
duty of tho supervisors of the several
counties in this State, in addition to
tho duties hitherto prescribed by law,
to cause tho destruction, in the man
ner which to tho said supervisor shall
seem the most efi'ective, of tho weed
known an tho Canada thistle, wheie
BUt'h weed shall ho found growing
upon the public highways and county
roadH of this State.
Section 2. The road supervisors of
each road district in this State shall
immediately after this Act takes oiled,
and from time to time thereafter,
ascertain whether or not thoro is any
weed known as tlte Canada thistle in
his road district, and shall as soon as
ho ascertains that there is any of said
weed, notify the county court of his
county in writing at a regular session
thereof ot the existenco of said weed,
and upon whose laud the said weed is
growing. As soon as tho county
court, lias received said information
said court shall appoint a householder
in said road disliict as a commissioner,
to hold ollice for the term of one year,
who.'o duty it shall be to cause the
said wood to bo extirpated wherever
found within said district.
Sedion it. When tho commission
er aforesaid is appointed it shall be his
duty to ascertain from tho road super
visor of his district tho exact location
of said weed, and he shall then notify
the owner of the laud upon which it is
growing of its presence thereon, and
request said owner to eflectually re
move said wood from his land; and in
case the residence of the owner u
unknown or is so fur away that ho
cannot be notified, or, if notified, cannot
attend to tho extirpation of said weed
within a reasonable time, then it shall
be the duty of the commissioner to
notify the occupant of said laud and
request him to extirpate said weed
from said land.
Section !. If such owner or occu
pant shall fail or refuse to destroy
such weed after being notified by tho
commissioner of tho existence of such
weed upon his land, then it shall bo
tho duty of said commissioner, and ho
shall have authority to go upon said
land and cause said weed to bo extir
pated from said laud in tho manner
which to him seems the most efi'ective.
The expense of destoying said weed on
said land shall be paid upon showing
made by the commissioner out of tho
county funds, and shall bo and remain
a charge upon said lauds to be as
sessed to said land and collected tho
same as taxes; provided, that tho samo
may bo remitted by tho county court
at any regular session thereof upon
the petition of ten resident house-holders
of tho precinct whero said petition
er resides.
Section ft. The commissioner shall
receive from tho county for his ser
vices, specified in sections It and -I of
this Act, the sum of two dollars per
day for tho time actually employed.
Section 0. If the road supervisor
or commissioner mentioned in this
Act wilfully violatos any of tho pro
visions thereof, ho shall bo deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon
conviction thereof in any justieo's
court having competent jurisdiction,
shall bo fined not loss than fifty nor
more then than one hundred dollars
for each ofi'euse.
Thoro iw a great amount of those
weeds growing in some of tho back
streets throughout this city which
should bo immcdiutoly exterminated.
Sections 7 and 8 of tho same law roads
us follows :
Section 7, It shall be tho duty of
all municipal corporations and county
authorities in this State to provide for
tho extermination of said Cauadu
thistle within the limits of such cor
poration or on tho vacant lands with
in such county, and any city or town
corporation within this State neglect
ing or refusing to comply with the
provwioiis of this soot ion shall bo
liablu to a forfeiture to tho Statu of a
sum not lees than fifty nor more than
live humln d iMlats, to bu recovered
by sun in the name of tho Kluto in
any court of oompotout iurudiouoii.
h'untioil 8. Jt shall bo the duty of
the tovoral diitriut attorneys of this
Hindi to pnmoouto ull Mills hi otic hi
under I ho niovuioii of motion 7 with
in llieir rurpootlvo counties, and suoli
"tlunioys k4Ull l" entitled y u fuy of i
twenty-five dollars for every judgment
rendered in favor of the State in such
suits, and shall bo entitled to fee of ten
dollars for ovcry suit brought under
the provisions of this Act when
judgment is rendered against the
State.
As will be scon tho law 18 very strict
in regard to this matter, and well it
should bo. Lot it bo enforced at once,
before tho weed gets a groater start.
THft UEKOIIM COMtJCO.
In what mannor and through what
channels tho needed reforms in tho ad
ministration of this govornmont will
bo brought about, none ran divine,
but that reform must bo had and its
coming is virtually a second question.
Go whore you will, and conrerso
with whom you may, touching nation
al affairs, you will find a deeply sottled
and fixed ide that reform must bo
had.
Every day is realized the fact that
financial oppression is resting upon
the poople, and that this oppression is
more keenly felt by tho laboring or
working classos, who constitute a largo
majority of tho people of tho govern
ment. Never in tho history of this govern
ment have theso working people been
more thoroughly and rapidly educated
on tho real status of government af
fairs than thoy are now. Nover have
tho masses been soj firmly fixed in
their purposo and so universally united
in their determination to work out a,
relief from tho burdens that oppross
them as thoy uo now. Nuver has the
antipathy to partisans and tho abhor
rence to partv spirit and of political
bigots ben so deep and broad, and all
pervading among tho common people
as it is now. Never in tho history of
our country has the idea, that our gov
ernment is hastening to become an
oligarchy, been so universuljamong tho
voting populace as it is found to bo
now. Never before have tho farmers
of this land been so universal in
coming to tho front on questions of
political economy, and in assuming to
exorciso the rights vested in them un
der constitutional prerogatives, as
thoy arc now.
Nover havo they boon so united in
openly and publicly demanding their
rights in and their sharo of tho benefits,
of government as thoy are throughout
this land to-day.
And what does.alUhis arguo? That
thoy are weak-minded and cranky
fanatics as some aro wont to believe?
Far from that. It simply argues that
thoy aro being educated to see more
clearly the maolstom of poverty auil
want into which thoy aro being led by
a few who assume to rule and govoru
so that they may fatten upon the
labors of tho many. It argues thai
the men from tho fields and tho work
shops aro being moro fully and com
pletely waked up to a realization of
tho faot that thoy aro boing imposed up
on by unjust and unevenly distributed
taxation for tho support of government
and its vampires. It shows that the
people of all classes, outside of political
demagogues and political bigots, aro
stronger advocates of an honest politi
cal economy, than of party spirit, and
that they aro fostering and nurturing
a determination to bring about
through tho ballot, if need bo, a res
toration of pure methods in the ad
ministration of government. In short,
these aro but tho coming waves of a
great political revolution that is
destined to sweep over this land and
clear away tho political corruption
and rottenness that havo poisoned
every fiber of tho government, and
that will sweep out of positions tho
political corruptionists who caro
naught for tho general interest, nor
anything else save that which will in
sure no personal proferment and indi
vidual gain. Monroe Advertiser.
Education.
Kditou Oukoon Scour:
" ' l is education forms tho common mind:
Just us tho twig is bent, the tiee's iiicliueti.''
In this couplet is enunciated a tru
ism, by which tho infantile mind is
likened unto a tender branch growing
up to become a tree in after time,
which should not bo bent, or re
tarded in its growth, that it may grow
and become a majestic tree instead of
a dwarfed ami unsightly specimen.
So tho iufaut mind in its first under
standing, or attemt to understand, by
tho organs of sight and hearing, the
actions and sayings of persons by
whom it is surrounded. Tho tint ru
diment of education aro not derived
from books, but for years boforw the
child has a knowledge of written or
printed thoughts, it is gathering
inurseU of education from the action
ami tiiylng of iU guardian ami
mentor. Tho intellectual fmniltlc of
children aro tory pUttic, and riuily
rt'oiho injwoitiuu iu( aio so iiideli
by niuuldcd luto tUvtr UlUtf that It
! will take yoara to ercdicatc from their
minds, if wrong. Tho parents or
nursea whoso duty it is to care for the
little ones should bo vory careful to
look after tho woll-bcing of thoir men
tal, as woll as thoir physical dovolop
mont, and should present to their view
scenes of pleasure and delight, and to
their hearing purity of speech. Thero
should bo no loud or boisterous con
troversies before thorn, by which their
minds may receive impressions of
fright, for remombor you aro bonding
the "twig" and may perhaps cause it
to so swerve from tho porpindicular as
to causo you years of sorrow, as well as
sorrow to tho child. Lot nil your
actions boforo a child bo mild and
forbearing, not only to tho child, hut
to others in tho child's presence. As
a child progresses in understanding it
will readily perceive when thero ara
jarring discords botweon oldor porsons
and it will invariable cling to tho ono
and, with a lsok of terror, conceive ii
its own mind that tho othor is to bo
fearod, and for a tirna it will shun tho
other with childish hato and soorn
mingled with fear for its own safety
and the safety of the ono to wham it
clings for protection. Almost tho first
that a child learns abovo its natural
instinct it to sook protootion fram real
or supposed dangor. Homo ubildren
aro very precocious, and have an un
derstanding in advance of their age
and physical strength. Suck children
should be governed with extroate oare
and older porsons should be admon
ished not to porplex aad contradiot
with them, oven in a spirit of levity,
but to govorn thomselves, when with
such children, with decorum of actions
and purity of speech, lest the child's
mind bo bent in such a war as to
cause it to become too forward, which
will often causo its parents, and others,
to blush at something it may say at a
time when it would have boen bettor
had it not boon said. To auoh a child
mild caution at proper times is hotter
than to allow it to go on too far in its
childish prattle. And sueb. exuber
ance of thought and speech should bo
gently pruned ore "the mind bocomes
swayed in such a mannor as to cause
it to become deformed by aclf-oonceit
and irrovorouco towards older persons.
As a child grows physically, its intel
lectual organs expand and it begins to
learn and judge of persons and things
around it, and is ever ready to catch
and adhere to tho actions and sayiuga
of its elders, hence it becomes the
sacred duty of its parents and guardi
ans to know that it is taught iu the
ways of truth, with regard to its sur
roundings; and us it progresses iu the
knowledge of written or printed lan
guage, lot it first loam that which is
easily muds plain to its uuderstaudius;.
Children vary much as to tho ago uf
their moutal powers. One child may
bo at tho ago of ten years intellectually
in advance of another at tho age of
twelve or fourteen years. Children of
such difference should not be classed
together in the pursuit of the same
studios, lest it retard the prcgress of
tho one, or discourage the other, who
will endeavor to keep along by skip
ping parts of tho lesson and thus ac
complish but littlo. Such classing is
perplexing to both, and their progress
retarded to a degi re.
As minds progress rom child to vouth,
Teach them to love the ways of truth.
In tho progress of their minds, us
they become capacitated to learn of
tho objects around them, give them
object lessons. Instruct them why,
how, and for what purposo arc the
things which thoy see around them,
reserving always such as are not prop
er for tho youthful mind yet to learn.
Listen to all they may ask, and kindly
admonish them that of some subjects
and things they aro not yot ready to
learn or understand. Yot in all that
you do to instruct them, let your in
structions bo truthful. Vary not one
jot or tittle from the truth as far as iu
you lies. Imbuo into their minds con
fidence to relv on tho truthfulness of
your teachings. Teach them to exer
cise their own powers of discernment
that they may be enabled to discern
tho truth from tho falsity of the teach
ings that they may from time to timo
havo presented to them. Teach them
to discern between a true talo of facts
and the imaginary effusions of an
author's ficticious paintiug of a wordy
story. Never attempt to coeret their
minds into a belief of anything that
you cauuot convey intelligently to
their uuderstauding, Teach theut to
love duty for tho love of tho pleasure
that obeying will bring unto thstu,
and not through fear of correction, or
of soium imaginary evil that will over
take them if they disobey, Track
them (o exercise their own minds, with
thoughts unbiased by prejudice, and
with reason to duoido eouerraiug ull
thoughts and idoutof others (but tuay
from timo to time be prrsciitoU.
