OREGON CITY, TJIIRSDAV, SEPT. 1), 177-
Court House ut Last.
Clackamas tbe oldest county in tLe
State is about the last to take stc3
Jpwanl the erection of a court Loose,
'but "better late than never." The
County Court Las taken a decided step
in the matter, and before the present
county officials shall step "down and
out" this long-desired and much-needed
structure will be nnder -way and rapidly
assuming its proper proportions.
The County Court has levied a tax of
22 mills, divided as follows:- State 7,
school 3, and county 12. "We believe
the commissioners had in view the
liquidation of the county indebtedness
now existing and a balance sufficient to
tun the county for tho next fiscal year,
with a surplus of about three mills to
be devoted to the erection of a couit
house. They calculate to Lave in tLe
neighborhood of 0,000 which will be
armlied to the court house from this
levy. From what we can learn it seems
to be the plan of the commissioners
erect a substantial brics court hone
and iail on the court house block ou
the bluff, to cost about $25,000. The
Bite chosen is in tho block south of
where the old court house stood, and j
it is one of the most sightly locations j
in our beautiful city. For our own
convenience wo would prefer tLat tho
building should be located below the
bluff, but a suitable location could not
be obtained at a reasonable figure, and
ro have strong faith in the idea held
by many of our citizens that Leforo
many years pass by, Main street will
be completely lined with factories of
rarious kinds, and as we aro building
for the future, the site chosen seems to
bo tho most suitable.
The Entekpkisk has been an untiring
advocate for the erection of a court
house, and we believe it Las been in
accord with a majority of tho citizens of
Clackamas county. As wo have said be
fore, we want a court houso and other
improvements which will attract new
comers to our county and town, and it
gives us great joy to announce that the
commissioners have made a lovy for the
purpose of making a start in this mat
ter. We have not been moro set upon
this question of court houso than we
have in favor of a liberal expenditure of
both money and labor to improve tho
roads throughout the county. We are
favorable to anything that will enhaaco
the value of our county. Everything
taken into consideration, the present
year is very suitable for the levying of
a large tax, as it has been a season of
plenty and prosperity with our citizens
and they are better prepared to pay
the tax than in years past, and, it may
be, in years to come. Three years ago,
the county indebtedness amounted to
about $10,000, and U.at Las been almost
paid .off on a 19 mill tux, nnd it is
presumed that if we can do that well
in the next four years it will not be
necessary to levy more than a 20 mill
iax to complete the 2ayment for a 25,
000 court house. The expenses of run
ning our county will be materially less
ened in the succeeding jears iu the
matter of bridges, new road3, etc.,
which have been a heavy draw on our
treasury during the past two years.
Down to a Tine Point.
The St. Louis Democrat, discoursing
upon the alleged, conflict that exists in
this country between labor and capital,
says:
This folly of talking about the con
flict between labor and capital has been
often enough deprecated, but, cither
from a lack of sense or spirit of dema
goguery, there are always plenty of
people who continue to harp about the
old story. There is nothing more abso
lutely false, however, than the assump
tion that there is a conflict between
labor and capital. The thing is im
possible, either in the most primitive or
the most advanced society. Tho num
ber of people in the world who are not
capitalists is ridiculously small for
until a man becomes so poor that he
has nothing which any other human
being can envy him the" possession of,
he is a capitalist; so that the troubles
which are commonly called contlicts
between labor and capital are in reality
conflicts between capitalists. It never
happened, that those who hold the
place of laborers in the conih'cts are so
bad off, but that the world contains
others who are still more unfortunate.
The poorest laborer, struggling to hold
body and soul together on a scanty
pittance of fifty cents a day, is a capital
ist beside tho starving ragged tramp
who cannot rind work at that price.
The naked savage, who owns nothing
in the world but a string of beads and
the bow and arrow with which he wins
the food of life, is yet a capitalist be
side the savage who has neither the
beads nor the bow. Hence, when tho
ultimate laborer who is in no respect a
capitalist is found, it is at once dis
covered that the number is so small
that a conflict between the few laborers
and the numberless millions of capital
ists, great and little, is an absolute im
possibility. The Russians have resumed offensive
operations and have punished the
Turks severely during the past week.
otjverni uaiues . ua e tauen place, in
which the Russians were victorious and
gained, several important positions.
It is reported that they captured Tlevna
and completely routed the Turks, but
it lacks confirmation. There aro indi
cations of a heavy battle within a few
days, which will in all probabilty have
considerable bearing on tho result of
tho contest.
The action of the County Court in
regard, to tho court house is approved
by all who have the true interest of the
county at heart.

Pennsylvania IIcpiilIicaiis-
Tho Republicans of Pennsylvania
met in convention at Harrisburg on the
5th iust. Tho proceedings were har
monious and resulted in the selection
of an excellent ticket, and the platform
speaks for itself. For Supremo .Judge
J. P. Sterrett was nominated; for State
Treasurer Willam B. Ilart, and for Au-
ditor-General, J. A. M. Passmore. The '
following is a synopsis of the resolu
tions: First While wo recognize and re
spect tho difference of opinion amongst
us concerning the president's southern
policy, we are heartily in accord in hon
oring Lis patriotic motives, in hoping
that the result of this policy will be
peace, good will and completa recogni
tion of equal rights, ana to Jus eilorts
to render effective tho principles on
which he was elected, we pledge
our hearty and cordial support. Second
Arraigns tho Democratic party lor
abusing tho electoral commission.
Third Calls on legislators Jo use wis
dom in making laws that will induce
the return of prosperity. Fourth and
fifth Onnosa grants of over K'.O
acres of land to any person, and oppose j
the re-issue of patents. Sixth De
mand the repeal of tho law de
monetizing silver, and favor the
free use and unrestricted coinage of the
dollar of 1778, and its restoration as
legal tender equal iu value iu commer
cial value with tho gold dollar. Sev
enth Endorses Hartranfl. Eighth
Favors the law against lawlessness and
anarchy, equl rights in making laws,
equal duties in obeying them, and
thanks the governor and stale officers
for the prompt suppression of the late
disturbances. Ninth Holds iu equal
respect the rights of capital to control
its investments, and labor to determine
the value of its services. Tenth
Deprecates tho violent assertion of
either, which should be promptly sup
pressed. Eleventh Favors a protec
tive tariff. The remaining resolutions
relate to stato affairs.
Captain J. II. Eads, in a recent ad
dress at Pittsburg, gave an account of
tho many advantages that will follow
the successful operation of his Missis
sippi jetties. Tho proposed deepening
of tho Mississippi, Captain Eades says,
means tho reclamation of 37,000 square
miles of the richest alluvial lands on
tho globe, without resort to an uncer
tain and expensi ve system of levees. It
means lower iug the Hood line of the
river below tho surface of an area almost
as great as the State of Ohio, and locat
ed in the most genial climate in the
world. It means the permanency of
twenty-two hundred miles of river
banks, who e ilestrnstion now anords a
constant supply of dangerous snags in
it3 channel, to the great detriment of
commerce. The increased value of the
land reclaimed would greatly exceed
the to al cost of this improvement.
A Washington dispatch of the 10th
inst says that the Constitutional tinkers
have commenced work, and that several
numerously signed memorials will be
presented to Congress at its next session
proposing amendments to the Constitu
tion, abolishing the Presidency, an ex
ecutive council, council of State or Cab
met to bo substituted therclor, compos
ed of seven secretaries without any su
perior offieer; all to have cqir.l author
ity, that U, simply to strike out the
President, authorize the secret ;ries to
havo the execution of tho laws and the
general supervision of the government;
four of the council to bo elected by the
Ilouse and three by tho Senato from
members of thci : r' spective houses for
two years; one or all to be removed at
any time by tho house electing them,
and all. to have the rights of members
in both houses.
Mojor Powell, says the Post, is pre
paring for Congress-an atlas, with ex
planatory documents, that will show
that nearly all the arable lands in this
country are now owned by private par
ties, and not by tho Government. If
so. the people will soon have to pay the
railroads for those million-acre land
grants. And, young man, if you are
coming out West to grow up with the
country, you had better start at once!
The land will not wait for you to grow
up elsewhere for transplanting.
The Treasury Department intends to
prosecute all persons or firms who print
cards resembling national banknotes or
Treasury notes. Section 5,130 of the
Revised Statutes in reference thereto
forbids the engraving or printing of
anything in the impression or likeness
of any Unit d States obligation or oth
er security, or any part thereof, except
under tho authority of the seeietary of
the Treasury. Tho penal iy is a heavy
fine and imprisonment.
No news of any moment has been re
ceived from tho Indian war during the
past week. Gen. IToward, with about
600 troops, is after Joseph, with in
structions to follow him up until he
gives the redskins a substantial licking.
Four divisions are in tho field after
Joseph, and it will be almost impossible
for him to escape. Gen. Sherman is
giving his personal attention to the
movement of tho troops, and he means
business.
That Clackamas county will have a
court house is a settled fact, and the
chronic growlers may a3 well keep sil
ent. The need has long been felt, and
the Court is deserving of great credit
for making this decided step. They
are working for the interest of the
county, and havo acted in the premises
after due consid 'ia':on.

Madisox, Sept. 11. The Republican
State convention, which met in this city
to-day, nominated the following ticket:
For Governor, Wm. E. Smith, of Mil
waukee; Lieutenant Governor, J. M.
Iiingham, of Chippewa; Secretary of
State. Hon. B. Warner, of Pierce; State
Treasurer, Richard Gunther, of Winne
bago; Attorney General, Wm.E. Carter,
of Grant: Superintendent of Public
Schools, Wm. C. Whitford, of Rock.
Resolutions were adopted reaffirming
the principles which have guided the
national Republican party hitherto:
Hesolred, That most earnestly desir
ing the pacification of tho southern sec
tion of ou- Union and its speedy return
to national prosperity, we are mindful
that this can bn gained only by obedi
ence to law, by protection to all in
every right, by careful regard for that
class of citizens least able to protect
themselves.
Resolved, That in tho efforts of the
present national administration to re
store peace and concord to the south,
we recognize a magnanimous purpose
to remove the semblance of lawlessness
and violence. We hope this magnan
imity will be appreciated, and that the
reciprocal pledges made by prominent
citizens and officials of the south will
be faithfully kept. We shall rejoice if
the southern policy of tho President
produces the hoped-for results of peace
and order, but if theso results shall not
follqw this experiment, we demand that
other measure be adopted which shall
secure to all citizens, without distinc
tion of race or color, tho fullest enjoy
ment of their constitutional rights.
Hesolred, That tho determination of
the national executive to vender civil
service more efficient and less obnoxious
to criticism, meets our approval.
Hesolred, That in the purposes and
patriotism of President Hayes we de
clare our unshaken confidence.
Hesolred, That the attention of Con
gress is called to the necessity of such
modification of the patent laws as shall,
while affording adequate recompense to
the inventor, at the same time secure
complete protection to the people from
undue exactions for the use of patented.
articles.
Hesolred, That we rejoice that the
fidelity of the Republican party in up
holding the national credit has brought
our currency so near tho resumption
of specie payment. Wo hold that the
silver dollar should bo restored to its
former place as money and made legal
tender for the payment of debts, except
where otherwise distinctly provided by !

Jiosolved, While we earnestly con
demn all violence, outlawry and mob
rule.yet the Republican party expresses
its heartfelt sympathy with the condi
tion of workmen who are willing to
work but are unable to find employ

called to the grave im ortmco of tho
labor question, and the mos . careful

We oppose any im flier bestowal of
public lands upon railroad corporations
and urge tho establishment of such
governmental control over interstate
railroads as their importance as nation

The Democratic officers of the House j
of Representatives do not seem to bo I
able to keep possession of tne govern
ment property there. Last spring it
was discovered that immense quantities
of public documents had been stolen,
ai d'that Blue Jeans Williams' Investi
gating Committee had deliberately sup
pressed the facts which showed this. A
police officer has just discovered at a
junk shop a lot of Congressional Rec
ords, Revised Statutes, Coast Surveys,
and the most valuable government pub
lications, weighing nearly 5,000 pounds.
They had been brought there by port
ers from tho capitol for sale. A negro
Avho has been implicated in the theft
says that he himself purchased 1,W0
pounds of stationery in additiou to the
5,000 pounds just mentioned from one
of the doorkeepers of the Ilouse of Rep
resentatives. Unless Congress convenes
soon, the indications are that the Dem
ocrats in charge of the House will have
thoroughly plundered that end of the
capitol.

cause of Sitting Bull being turned out

A British officer and Sitting Bull had a
council, after which the tribe performed
tho rsual dance, Culverson, who is a
young half breed, joining in. After it
was over he became excited, counted
his scores and said to Sitting Bull,
'"Look, I have killed so many of your
hostile ' redskins." Sitting Bull drew
his revolver, a movement imitated by
Culverson, but before either could
shoot, Major Walch with his revolver
drawn sprang between them and told
Culverson to put his pistol awav.
Turning to Sitting Bull he said: 4''I
want you to understand that you can
not commit any of your deviltries hero
as you do in the United States. . I' will
give you and your tribe five days to

London, Sept. 7. The London Spec
tator in a remarkable article shows
practically that England is on the road
to a dreary condition, and looks for
ward to the time when her factories
will close one by one; iron and coal
mines will be shut up like the tin mines
of Cornwall, fires in forges will be
blown out, the ships will be laid to rot
and so forth. The only suggested
remedy is the discovery of some new
industry to replace those already wan
ing. The writer who is certified as one
of the shrewdest and :blest men of the
day, speculating upon the social and
political future, says: taxation will be
light, for tho debt, the cause, will be
gone, shaken off as beyond the new
means; the throne will be gone as too
expensive and useless, and the country,
organized like Switzerland, will be
thinly peopled by a race with heredi
tary habits of education, but few desires
or opportunity of excitement. Tho in
herent conservatism of the people will
have its fullest scope, the ambitious
and the energetic will go elsewhere,
there will be nothing to do here. .
Chicago, Sept. 8. The Tribunes
London special says: Semi-official Ger
man papers declare the policy of Ger
many consists just now of pushing
peace negotiations in a disinterested
and unspeculative manner. The policy
of England is to put an end to hostili
ties as soon as possible without refer
ence to conditions, which is anything
but a disinterested desire, since she
only cares to advance her own commer
cial interests which are in a languish
ing condition. At the Russian head
quarters it is stated that no overtures
for peace will be listened to until after
some overwhelming victory, when the
Czar can dictate his own conditions.
The Russians are determined to fight
to the last, and the Czar has recently
declared that he will return to Russia
either dead or victorious.

"My horse was lame for a year wit h a fet

cure, and I considered him worthless, until I
commenced tf use Centaur Liniment, which
rapidly cured him. I heartily recommend it."
It makes very little difference whether the
case be "wrench," sprain, spavin or lameness
of any kind, the effects are the same. Th
great power of the Liniment is,however,shown
in Poll-evil, Big-head, sweeny, Spavin, Ring

CAXCEU CAN liE CURED.
Cancer has from time immemorial been a
great scourge to t he human race, and is now
becoming the greater. For many years it has
been held by the medical profession, and gen
erally believed by t he people, that Cancer is
incurable : that once its roots take hold upon
a victim, there is no chance for a sufferer to
escape a lingering and tert-ible death ; a death
surrounded by all that is distrusting and hor
rible, net only to the suite rer, but to his
friends. Happily this te!l dest rover need no
longer he feared. Dr. II. T. P.ond, of Phiia
uelphia, a well known physician, of large ex
perience, has for four years devoted himself
to the special study and treatment of Cancer,
and the result of his experience is his dis
covery fi,r the radical cure of Cancer, without
the use of either knife, caustic or plasters,
and without pain.
The majorit y of persons aregreatlv deceived
in regard to the first symptoms and appear
ance of this most dreaded disease, considering
it painful from the commencement. This is
a sad mistake, carrying thousands to an un
timely grave. In most cases there is little or
no pain until the disease is far advanced.
The only symptoms for many months, and
even for years, are occasionally astinginc,
darting, stabbing, shootinir, smarting, itch
ing, burning, crawling or creeping sensation,
and some cases not any or these. If
malady is growing worse instead of
better, it is conclusive evidence it is of
malignant character, r.nd demands imme
diate attention. If you have a branny scaly,
warty appearance, with an occasional break
ing out of these upon the face, lip or nose, or
any other portion of the skin, attended with
anv of the above symptoms, oi a sensation or
a fiv being on it, or a hair tickling it, is cer
tain evidence itisCanceg, and there should
le no delay in using Dr. Rond's treatment.
Life is too valuable to be tampered with.
Dr. Pond's treatment consists of an "Anti
dote" that is applied locally: this at once ar
rests the growt h of the Cancer, and by chemi
cal action neutralizes its malignity, render
ing it harmless and changing it to a simrlp
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 oion sore, but re
moves it. by absorption). In connection with
the Antidote is used the Specific, taken in
ternally. This tones up the general health,
strengthens the patient, purifies the blood,
nnd eliminates the poison from the system
Dr. Bond's Antidote contains neither causlio
nor poison, and can be applied to the most
delicate tissues of the body without injury
and therefore is the only remedy that can t
used in internal Cancer, such as cancer of tha
stomach, cancer of the womb, etc. Dr. Bond'
remedies, with full directions for succcssfu.
treatment will be sent to any rart of th
world.
