It is true however, if he owned stock he would yet ba the owner, unless he saw -fit to selL hut we apprehend ! that the stock would not worry him much, as' long as it was a source of income. Mankind arc inherently opposed to revolu tions of every kind, and it is seldom that they come except after a long train of agitation. They seem to cling to the ways and ideas of their forefathers, more because they were their ideas, then because they were .or nre cor rect. We hay no doubt that the present generation are, in many cases, spending large sums of money and toiling from daylight to dark, in order to accomplish that which might be attained in another way for one-tenth of the present outlay.

The number of bills introduced is over whelming Every county has some pt scheme, and its members must exert themselves according! v. Umatilla coun ty wants Division, and if we get that we Are fully satisfied. If we fail to obtain it, the blame must rest on intrigue ema nating from the present icminty seat, whence has issued all the opposition hith erto. Blalock precinct, which would have carried mueh of the Division ticket at the last election, but for such mach inations, was pi-evented from voting by unfair influences. Every intelligent member of the legislature who inquires into the merits of the case, will vote to give us such division as our petitions ask for. -MISCELLANEOUS J. E. JONES ! FOB PRESIDENT, 4. EX.

Es. Leader ; Jn yo.ur valuable paper of Kept. 4th 1880, we gave the outlines of a prq poocd xw fence law. and by your permission ws eetT propose to state something of what wUiui would lie the practical working of that bw. Suppose that law to be iu force and Vie ran1ui.K&e assent of the majority of the legal voters given, for the law to take effect in the territory descrifced. We then propose to organize a corporation under the general laws of this State, and sell stock in limited quantities to any persons who desire to pur chase : this stock o be niadc a paying invest ment. Then survey the boundary line, and if need , be, condemn the land it passes over; that is, compel the owners thereof to take what 'the name is wortjh. The! orect on the iins.a isuiwtantial fence and gates; the latter to be of an approved pattern and so arranged tlia: a teamster can open ud close them with' out getting off his w&gigi or stage, as the case may le. This tiding done no cattle, under the proposed law, will bo allowed to rnn at large in tbeciudosuru so made, and the fence bcbig elected according ft I.iw. all persons who opened n gate ami allowed it to remain i psa, until stock come iui-ide, would be liable to an action for the dnmnges. Theu the cor poration wouH 4aT U -persons who raised any r(i inside tie enclosure, except such as was also raised juside a private enclosure, in pro portion to the amount of such crop, so as to raise a sum' of money sufficient to pay interest uu the stock sold, run the expenses of the cor poration, 'keep the fence repaired, and pay to ih stock holders a profit if desired. This, the law .as it now stands, would allow them to do. if .they had the right to erect the fence. Perhaps those who look upon the scheme with distrust, think that a person could raise as much grain .as , he .desired inside the enclosure and the law would got compel him to contrib ute to the turst .cost of the fence and the main- tvitiaace of the same. This is a mistake, the law mak.es ample provisions for any such ob- atfoate clings. Sumo may ohje.-t that the fqace wftl.cost too much, so 1ft us see what it ril coat. .Suppose we nre going to enclose a lwl,u( territory twenty miles square and tlw,t oue-balf of that latid is to be farmed this is putting the estimate the farming land very low, lor in tact, in .1 tew years nine State Legislation is the only means by which a radical reform may be accom plishel ; the power lies within each state to eradicate the liquor traffic ; why then, do people complain of the Government for not acting upon this question ; the riifht of a state to make laws foritsGov- j eminent is fully understood. The rem i edy that is within reach of the temper I au.ee people seems to be overshadowed by the desire to make a large showing and much noise. A Presidential TeiDpornnce Ticket has been made, good men are chosen, but there is not the h ast possible shadow of hope for successj a temperance vote of 350,000 may perhaps be cast, a feeble, waivering effort is made, and then comes a relapse that throws the cause hack in to a state of indifference. If the tem perance people would accomplish some thing, let them commence a little lower on the ladder, and direct their effort to State Laws and State Elections, from that source there is some hope of success. The Charter of any Town or City can be changed by properly presenting it to the State Legislature, take up the work here, and shmw it the same amount of attention and energy that a saloon-keeper does to accomplish his work. But you say our Legislature is not composed of temperance men; Oh ! but did you not have a voice in their election, if you can not elect a Legislator, how can you ex pect to elect a President 1 This half-willed, scattering mode of proceedure is what has proved so disas terous to the temperance work. Settle upon some definite plan, and then follow it. Valley Fountain. All kinds of From the report of the legislative pro ceeding we learn that our representative Hon P. J. Kelley has introduced a bill to divide Umatilla into three counties. This is as much as could be gleanad from the meagre report. What boundaries Mr. Ridley's bill gives to the projosed new counties we can only surmise. Re membering his oft-repeated promises dur ing the campaign of abiding by the ex pressed wish of a majority of the voters by means of a petition, we must conclude that one of the dividing lines is that laid down by the division Convention at Pendleton, for it has received the greatest number of signatures. It is bmt fair then to suppose that Mr. Kelley will faithfully carry out the desire of his constituents to the best of his ability. Mr. Wilson having made the same promise to the same effect there ought to be no difficulty in securing the pas sage of such a bill. We hope to see it passed. In the language "of Col. White, "If Main has not been a democratic victory, it is at least an overwhelming republican defeat." The lowest republican majority estimated by them pi ior to the election day was that by Blaine, who counted "at least 7000." It will not in anv instance exceed 1000, and at present writing, will probably not. exceed 400. So it is really an encouraging lcsult for the democracy, and mav disci.wt.vrt the republicans. The latter party claim New York, Indi ana and New Jersey as "doubtful," and the guess is probably as sanguine and correct as wa that of Maine. Without any gush, we believe the prospects, for Hancock and English tire nin.-st encourag ins;; and as far as pcs;ibie to predict in the uncertainty of politics, their elec tion is assured; Shelf-Hardware Constantly 0:1 . hand, for sale chea3. .- A Large Assortment of HARDWARE 1 RANGES, COOK 5c JPAJEIIjOK, Stoves ! the Very Best Material nml Mont Ap proved Patterns.

(From the New York Herald, August 31st, 1SS0.) 1 here are some fallacies in details of Mr. Sherman's argument; for example, where he declares that the resumption of specie payments in the United States is "as complete as in any country in the world," and where, iu speaking of the re duction of the cost of collecting the cus toms revenue, he boasts that it lias fallen from six per cent under President Buch anan to three per ceut under President Hayes. In the one case he leaves out of sight the overhanging danger of a shrinkage of the standard of our whole currency to the eighty-eight cent silver dollar in event of the shifting of the balance of trade. In the other case he assumes that the proper cost of collections is in precise proportion to their amount, which in President Buchanan's time was less than a third of what it is at present, whereas, on the contrary, it required but a slight expansion of the machinery which sufficed to collect the or.e in order to adapt the other. It appears to us al so that Mr. Sherman is unjust in his de nial of economies achieved in the appro- SUMMONS.
