JI)c (Enterprise. 9REG0' CITY, THURSDAY, JCXE 31. b77. Inflated Chee There aro a great many questions which, unfortunately, were not settled by the recent campaign and the Bubse quent election ; but, on the other hand, there are also many questions which rere settled. It was settled that the Democracy was in favor of "the old flag and an appropriation," but no man is authorized to say that the Democracy care very much for the old. flag without the appropriate appropriation, it was also settled that a Democrat answers Almost as well as a Republican to fill an office with under a Republican ad ministration, although we hesitate to believe the rule would apply to a Re publican under a Democratic Adminis tration ; and, finally, it was settled by a large majority that our people do not Vant any inflation pest at present. If we remember rightly meetings were held, committees appointed, a party or ganized, a candidate nominated in the interest of inflation ; we believe his name was Peter Cooper, but he has only been heard of once sinte, and then only to try to force his paper pills down Hayes throat with a sugar coat ing of flattery regarding his Southern policy, and the total vote he received for the Presidency was smaller than is occasionally cast in a healthy Indiana Tillage for pound-keeper. That, notwithstanding the Spartan "heroes at their Thermopylas of Harris, burg, settles the inflation question Politics are depraved ; parties are cor .rupt, but there is nothing so odious iu the political organizations as to induce j any anyone to prefer the immaculate , and philanthropic doctrine of the infla tionist. The people do not care to have the finance directed by Peter Cooper, ' .nor Foghorn Allen, nor Ben Butler, uor Pig Iron Kelly, nor Gentleman George Pendleton, nor Bogy, nor, latterly, -Jones of Nevada ; they do not want a currency based on the united resources of tho nation ; they do not want a cur rency sanctified by the blood of the na tion's defenders : they do not want an "incontrovertible bond;" they do not even want the Government to pay them S20 per head each Saturday night at the nearest postofB'je, as was proposed by somebody in Wisconsin, and almost seconded hero of late by Seuator Jones with his constitutional amendment. They have heard these propositions, scheme doctrines, all and several, to gether -with the principles and argu Jnents.on which they were based, and the profits and emoluments thereto ap pertaining, and they have said very em phatically that they wanted nothing of tho whole pack of rubbish, and they Lave summarily sat upon any impudent pretension that inflation was popular. And yet these gentlemen, whose votes might easily be lost in the Horse Heav en of Clackamas County, brush off the dust of their downfall and come for ward to tell us that the doctrines which appeared six months ago must control the financial policy of the United States. -Amid the crash of war abroad and the downfall of private credit and for tunes in nearly all the United States, except Oregon, the public debt of the United States, which is the special charge of the Treasury Department, rises higher day by day. Day by day tho reduction in the interest payment on our bonds reduces the burden of taxation on our industries ; and our publio debt, managed honestly, if not brilliantly, comes daily nearer to a con dition which will allow us to establish our commercial transactions on the only basis on which prosperity is possible. At such a time, and under such circum stances, the defeated, discredited, re pudiated advocates of a senseless and dishonest inflation gravelv assure us that if Secretary Sherman does not set bis greenback mill in operation they will do unutterable things to him. The Secretary could hardly have any more convincing assurance than this rthat his policy is sound, and that its results are appreciated by all those whom he is bound to consult or for whose opinion he may care. There was a time when it seemed as if inflation might conquer the sympathies and suf frages of the people of the United States when it seemed as if the onlv exit from, our trials was through the iolly of unlimited issues, to the dis grace and disaster of repudiation, but that time had passed away before the late national campaign opened. The people of the United States know that the times aro hard and that the future looks even more depressing than the past, but they know also that the situ ation is one which cannot be helped by printing "shin plasters." They do not care to ask whether inflation would at once make all capitalists rich and all laborers busy ; they know that there is no other way of inflating the currency by increasing the expenses and the debts of the country, and they think of inflation at all it is mereiy to marvel that a folly so tranparent can 6till pos sess the miuds of apparently intelligent men, though perhaps the folly of be lieving in inflation is less foolish than believing that the believers in inflation tire able to control the administration of our flounces. The news from Mt. Idaho that the Indians have begun to mnrder the white Fettlers is another argnment for our uemocratio friends ia favor of a reduction of the army. Unconditional Surrender. Tl ings are getting mixed. We have struggled manfully with the conflicting dispatches, every day, with the deter mination cf being able to present to our readers intelligible summaries of me stains 01 trie liuco iuissian war. i but as "the plot thickens" our mental i vision is similarly overcome, and we surrender to the.Paslras and Beys and the Scrabatskis and NixoornnieronshoSs unconditionally. As far as we can learn, one wing of the Muscovites is pegging away in the eastern part of Asia 'Minor, around Kars. Erzeronrn. Batonm and Ardahan, while the main body is still hugging the Russian bank of the Danube river shaking its fist at the opposing Musselmans and threaten ing every day to "cross tho Rubicon and larrup the baggy breeched Turks an inch beyond their lives. A fierce Mohammedan named, something or other that commences with an S, is making thiugs uupleasantly warm for the Montenegrins; this so enrages the Servians (who are compelled to pre serve neutrality), that they want the Princs of Milan to "pitch in" anyhow, and throw las orders from the powers to the condemned canines. Taking the war altogther it is a grand failure. No consideration is paid American news paper men in tho selection of Generals or iu the selection of battle grounds in regard to their names, and it is settled to our entire satisiacnon mat in every battle thus far fought in tho war both liusaians ana lurKs nave been vic torious. This must b the case or else somebody lies, or has been like the cowaru umperor iiauaius ngnting the ! : ni it i . - 11 sea and capturing the 6hells, and of course we cannot entertain such idea of men with such fearfully warlike names Spanish Dilemma. Peace in Cuba is one of the features of the Summer entertainment Spain has billed for the benefit of the world. The military operations against the Cu ban rebels are not going forward with that happy snccess which was anticipa ted last Winter, but one new lever has been put in motion which is said to be working wonders. The Spanish Gov ernment finds it vastly cheaper to buy Cubaus than to pay for killing them, siuce the average ubel can be purchased for about SKH) iu cash, and, for 50 per cent, additional, can be induced to en list in tho Spanish ranks and help sub jigate his countrymen ; while to kill him requires an expenditure of about SI, 200. Naturally enough the money for the purchase j3 being rapidly for warded from Madrid, and the bidding is quite brisk. Dispatches say the rebels are being rapidly thinned out by this means and the Spaniards aro rejoicing iu the hope of final succe. However this plan of purchase may commend it self at first sight. Spain should not forget that it works both ways. If the fellows who are bought now sbonld happen to get out of money in a year or two, what would be easier for them to kick up an other row and makeasec ond bargain ? By the third time they will have acquired so high an opinion of their market value that it will be cheaper for Spain to import troops and kill them than to purchase them, and so the Spaniards will have to go to war Important Decision. Mr. James n. Manderville, attorney -at-law, Washington, sends us the fol lowing as the gist of the decision of Justice Field of the U. S. Supreme Court in the case of Stark vs. Starr : Ordinarily, if to-day a man gives a quit-claim deed, but gets a better title to-morrow to the same land, the quit claim will operate to convey only the title he had when he execnted it, and the better title acquired afterwards will not be affected by the quit-claim. In this case, however, where the title was in the Government, but the parties ex pected to get a title in fee.whenever they executed a quit-claim deed they parted with their entire interest, and no mat ter if they subsequently secured a i at ent from the United States, their inter est in the land nevertheless was ex tinct, and the patent enured to the vendee and not to the vendor. Mr. Justice Field said that this opin ion was one of the most important that he ever delivered, because it will for all time settle certain land titles in Oregon. So I send it to vou balievinor it will interest many of your readers. Lex Scripta. We are in receipt of a special cable gram to the effect that since ex-President Grant has become a British Doc tor of Civil (or canon?) Jaw he feeds on nothing but "choses in action" and "contingent remainders," and instead of using in his travel a Murry's Guide he reads a pocket Blaekstone. At night he is said to recline upon a "wool sack" and have nightmares about the "incorporeal hereditnmeots," but this, our cautious correspondent does not vouch for. The taxation of cats is being agitated in Massachusetts. The advocates of tho tax insist that the destruction of birds by untaxed tabbies has occasion ed an alarming increase in the insects that prey on fruit trees, and urge their measure as one which will tend to thin out the felines. One of the advocates, in a letter to the Boston Globe, recalls the fact that a memorial for a similar tax was presented to the General Court some years ago, but was not considered J for want of time the Bay State S.dons being deeply engrossed in perfecting th charter of a base ball club. Take Newspapers. Perhaps people aro not absolutely ignorant who do not read the papers, but there is no gainsaying that they are wofnlly deficient in knowledge of the advancements of the times. Nothing presents a sadder commentary upon a popnlar neighborhood than the light newspaper mail at its postoflice. Hun dreds and thousands of families are growing up in ignorance of what is transpiring in the world around them ignorant of the events of the dav. It may be of no especial profit for them to know that the Willamette Chief broke down on her last trip to Portland; but it might be of some advantage to know that it was because sha was overloaded with grain and wool, wbich ar now de manding high prico3 on account of a foreign war, and everybody who has any such staples on hand is glad to sell at the present prices. Such littlt items often strike home, and awaken the dull unthinking men who seldom read papers to take advantage of their opportunities. But who can tell the vast amount of injury that is being inflicted on the rising generation ? those who are to take our places in tho busy world at no distant day growing up without any knowledge of the present or past; this ignorance, too. being imbued with the sanction of those who should, and doubtless 'do, know better, did they only think of tho injurious effects of thoir insano course. Let the head of every family think of this, and place in the hands of those for whom he is re sponsible, the means of acquiring some knowledge of the moving panorama in which we act our different parts. Docs the Policy Hurt J A correspondent of the N. Y. Tri bune traveling in the South predicts a Democratic triumph in 1880, as the re sult of Mr. Haves' Southern policy, which he assumes, has robbed the Re publican party of the only two S nthern States, Louisiana and South Carolina, on which it had a claim. Now this is very unreasonable. When Grant came into power in 18oS, all the Southern States were Republican, but his policy made all of tlieru Democrats but two. Admitting it to be true that the Ua-es policy has lost South Caro lina and Louisiana, can it be any worse than the opposite policy which lost Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, und Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Ar kansas and Texas? If therefore Jlaves is to be condemned for losing two States, Giant should be cndemueu for Joking nine. It may be that a Democratic PiC'i dent will be elected in 1SS0, but we doubt it, and know that if it be so, it will not be on account of Mr. Haves' way of treating the Southern question, lie has won fully as many generous Democrats, whoso sole desire is to see peace and justice in all our sisteihood of States, as he has lost rampant "stal warts" who want all the oilices and the administration of a Dior-sius. ThG great mass of the people, ignoring the self-styled leaders, endorse Hayes in his honest purpose, and this he thinks enough, as it is his highest aim. Praising the President. The Tribune eulogizes the President for his wisdom, courage and policy. Of his Southern policy it is said with truth : "The highest compliment that can be paid Mr. Hayes and it is one "hic-h many will not appreciate- is to say that he has dealt with the Southern ques tion as if he did not know by which party he had been elected. He has asked, not 'What doe3 my party de mand?' or 'What will my friends think?' bnt 'What is best for the country ?' The result thus far gives strong reason to believe that his policy will be as complete a success in its results-as it has been in its workings. The demor alizing abuse of patronage, the crying evils iu the public service, have becii met in a manner amazing to politicians and most gratifying to the country. Al ready, President Hayes has made hon esty fashionable at the capital. It is too soon to judge how far the raDk and poisonous growth of fifry 3'ears can be cleared away in a single Presidential term. But it is not too soon to say that the President has begun like a man who is not only in earnest, but knows well the nature and magnitude of the task he has undertaken, au.l is inflexi bly resolved to carry it out to the beat of his ability. The third great prob lem to be solved has not been overlook ed. Already the open inflationists, aud the men who pretend to want specie payments but are never willing to have any practical thing clone to that eud, have begun to assail the policy of Sec retary Sheruian. Bnt every intelligent man sees that the solution is one which places at the disposal of the Secretary absolute power to restore specie pay ments as soon as the condition of busi ness will permit." The Supreme Court of the United States has just affirmed the validity of a claim against the government which has been standing unsettled for nearly a century. It was originally a claim of about $8,000 for supplies furnished the revolutionary army in 1799, but the ac cumulated interest, which the Supreme Court ordered should also be paid, ran up the bill to over $51,000. The amount goes to the grandson of the original claimant. A condensed statement of the foreign trade of the United States for the fiscal vear ended Jnne 30, 187G, shows the ; imports to have been 476.077,871 ; the j domestic exports, mixed values, SG55,- : 403,969, and the re-exports of foreign commodities. $21,270,035. The exports of domestic commodities, it will thus be seen, exceeded the imports bynearly 180,000,000, or considerably over one- i third. Telegraphic News. Eastern. New Yop.k, June 19. The following are the Tribune's squibs: There is more danger of silver dollars than Stanley Matthews in Ohio pontics this fall. Private Daisell and an old line Whig make an impressive pair of civil service reformers. Silver agitators are trying to bulldoze Sherman info submission or resignation. Their weapons are those of the inflation ists bluster and threats. Senator Jones denies that he is in fa vor of a paper rmmey amendment to the constitution. Al he wants is plenty of silver, from which it would appear that Senator Jones does not own stock in a paper mill. Washington, June 18. Among the candidates for diplom tic appointments is Bret Harte. who wonld like the Chi nese mission. There is no present prob ability that Seward will bo le-called. Gen. Geo. A. Sheridan of Louisiana, has a foreign appointment already provided for him, probably minister to Central America, bnt it is not expected to be formally announced until October, when he shall be ready to assume its duties. Chicago, June 18. The Journal's Washington special says: It is said that prominent Conservative Democrats and well known Democratic leaders in the South will avuil themselves of President Hayes' proposed trip to White Sulphur Springs in July to go there and consult him in regard to Southern matters. The advocates of the Southern Pacific railroad bill will be represented at the White Sulphur Springs in force and will endeavor to convince the President that it is his duty, as a part of his South ern policy, to aid by official influence the enterprise. Foreign. Edinburgh, June 19. The Scotmans London correspondent writes that Earl Derby and the Marquis of Salisbury hold very opposite views on Russian occupation of Constantinople. Salis bury believes that Gortchakoff will not advise that tiie city be held for a long time. Derby would at once inform Itussia that she will only march there at the risk of meeting British as well as Turkish tro-ps. Toe writer adds: "I am informed that whatever may be ti e tru'li about the reported tiisunion, ti e Cabinet lias given cerlain military pie cautions. A large army corps is'ready for immediate service and transports can be obtained. Chicago, June 19. The Tribune London special says the at itnde of Austria is getting more and more hostile to Russia. S ai ting out with friendly feelings and expecting to snare in the territorial distribution when Turkey should be dismembered, she has since been drawn to the opposite standpoint by internal lntlnence and outside press ure. The uliiai c ! of Russia with Ger many is one cause of the dissatisfaction. Recently overtures were made to Eng land for an offensive and defensive alli ance. Prince Milan's visit so the Czar was in opposition to the expressed de sire Oi Austria. Fifteen Dollars an Acre. If there is not an unexpected reduc tion in tho price of wheat, Oregon will make $9,000,000 from that cereal this year. An experienced granger informs us that the cost of plftnting. harvesting threshing, sacking and hauling to the Xoint of shipment the yield of an acre of wheat will average, throughout the Willamette Valley, $9:05. The average yield per acre in this valley is twenty bushels to the acre ; this, selling at a dollar and a quurter a bushel, will bring $25. and after deducting the ex pense of S9:G5 we have a net gain, per acre, of $15:35. Think of it ! Over 313:00 an acre, almost as sure as night following day. W want no piteous stories from our farmers next fall about hard times, because we won't believe them. We shall expect them to pay up their subscription to this paper, and subscribe in advance for a friend or two in the East why not let this rich harvest be one for the printer too? The funny story that the Democrats have a majority in this State is being reproduced in the Eastern papers. Our Oregon jokes are a little dense sometimes. The Philadelphia Press reports a Democrat of high standing in that city as saying that if the Southern people do not cordially and unitedly respond to the fearless and generous action of President Hayes, thousands of the Democratic party will join the Re publicans to strengthen his Adminis tration. We do not think sufficient credit has been given in eastern journals to the talent courage and perseverance of Sumner Howard .U. S. Attorney in Utah, for the part taken in bringing to justice the leader of the Mountain Meadow Massacre. The N. Y.

Dear Sir From early yout h I was in feeble health, troubled with hnmor in my blood, weakn-ss and debility of the system gener ally ; was unable to labor much, and only at some llgut business, and then only with great caution. Seven years ago, t he past spring, I had a severe attack of Dipt heria which left my limbs para'yzed and useless, so I was un able to wa Is or even sit up. Noricingthe ad vertisement of Pkrcvian syrcp, I concluded to give it a trial, and to my great joy eoon found my health imi roving. I continued tbe use of the iSYRCP until three bottles had been used, and was restored to compete health, and have remained so to thisday. I attribute my present state of health to t he use of Peru vian Syrup, and hold it in high estimation. I cannot Sjieak too highly in its praise. I have in several cases recommended it in cases similar to my own with the sanm go'xl re sults. Yours truly, Chas. E. Pkakcv. ! fc?-The National G'old Medal was awarded o Bradley A.

The regular secretion and flow of the gastric juices, and of the bile which the use of IIos tctter's Stomach Bitters promotes, are effects which conduce materially to the restoration of health, when the system is disordered. Food is not digested in the dyspeptic stomach because t lie gastr'c fluid is deficient, supera bundant or vitiated : the liver becomes con gested and the bowels constipated because tbe supply of bile is inadequate or misdirected. The hitters rectifi-s all this, and removes every ill consequence of non-assimi ation and bil ious irregularity. Furthermore, it stimulates theaction ot the kidnes. bv which impuri ties ar , so to spak, strained" from the biood, and any tendency in the urinary organs to grow sluggish and disordered counteracted.

For many ears it has been held by the medical profession, and gen era y lielit-vd by the -eo le, that Cancer i incurable; that once its roots take hold upon a victim, tiiere is no chance for a sufferer tf escape a lin;rerin;r and terribledeath ; a death surround-d by all that is disKustinjj and hor rible, not only to the suff.-r'r, but to his lrinds. Happily t his fell dest rover need no -onger be leared. Dr. H. T. liond, of Phi a deiphia, a well known physician, of large ex perience, has for four years devoted himself to tin sjM-ciai study and treatment of Cancer, and the result of bis experience is his dis cov. ry f rthe radical cure of Cancer, without the use of either knife, caustic or plasters, and without, pain The majority of persons are great ly deceived in regard to t he first symptoms und at pea r ance ot this most dreaded disease, considering it i aintul from the commencement. 1 his is a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un timely gTave. In most cases there is little or no pain until the disease is far advanced. The only s m toms for many months, and even lor years, are occasionally a stinginc. darting, stabbing, shooting, smarting, ich Ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation, and some cases not any or these. If malady is growing worse instead oi butter, it is conclusive evidence it is or malignant character, and demands imme diate attention. If joii have a branny scal' warty apiwaranee, wit h an occasional break ing o"t of these upon the face, lip or nose, or any other portion of the skin, attended with anv of the above svmi toms. ot a sensation oi a flv b ingon it, or a hair tickling it, is cer tain evidence it is Cancer, and there should be no delav in using Dr. Pond's treatment. Life is too valuable to be tampered with. i r. Pond's treatment consists of an Anti dote" that is applied locally : this fit once ar rests the growth of the Cancer, and by chemi cal action neutralizes its malignity, render-in"- it harmless and changing it to a simple sore which nature, assisted by constitutional remedies, soon heals (when the skin is un broken, and the Cancer is a hard tumor, the Antidote does not make an open sore, but re moves it bv absorption) In connection with the Antidote Is used the Specific, taken in' ternallv. This tones up the general health, strengthens the patient, purifies the blood, and eliminates the poison from the system , Dr. Bond's Antidote contains neither caustic nor poison, and can be applied to the most delicate tissues of the body without injury and therefore is the only remedy that can bo used in Infernal t ancer, such as cancer of th stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond" remedies, with full directions for successf trtment will be sent to any part of th world.
