own volition. 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. (. W. WALKER.
STATE LEGISLATION.
The Oregon Legislature is in session.
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.

h;me law, is fact.
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;

JOUX SUEKM AVS FALLACIES.
NEW TO-DAY,
FALSE IX OXE, FALSE IK ALL.
(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-
