A Big Game.
From recent correspondence to the
Portland Standard we see that a state
Kf auarcby and chaos exists in the ter
ritory of Alaska that is almost too vio
lent to describe. For some reason that
has never been made quite satisfactory
to the public, the U. S. troops were
ordered away from Sitka and Wrangle
early last summer, und with them went
the last vestige of law and order. The
Indians and whites are now largely en
gaged iu illicit distilling, and drunken
ness pervades the entire Baranoff
Island. The only officers who have
any semblance of right to interfere in
the manufacture of this whisky ("hoo
chenoo" it is called), are a couple of
Custom Ilonse deputies appointed by a
Custom House Collector named De
Alma, who has, himself, never been
confirmed. Consequently their title to
office hangs on a very slender thread,
and the lawless whites there are not
altogether wrong in threatening to re
sist any interference from them. The
Indians are becoming very impudent,
forcing their way through the houses of
the whites after dark and threatening
trouble if opposed. Robberies are oi
very frequent occurrence, and no one
to arrest the thieves even if seen and
caught. A desperado might shoot down
a man in a minute at either Sitka or
Wrangle and there is not so much as a
town constable to say "stop." An at-
tempt was made at Wrangle to organize
-some kind of protective Vigilance Com
;mittee fcut the "Iloochenoo Brigade"
"packed", the meeting, and broke it up
I before, anything was accomplished.
This is a r&h territory; rich in fnrs,
rich in fish, in gold and silver, and
timbr and it is a crying shame that it
t.ia nonprotected. The Alaska Commer
cial .Company is straining every nerve
to have (the Territory forsaken by the
government so all whites will leave
rthere and the rich resources and entire
v trade with Indians fall into their hands.
Jit is a big game, and for a big stake,
rand it remains with Congress to sell out
her citizens to a corporation, or act
honorably and give them the protection
rightly belonging to all American, and
especially when on American soil.
Our Wheat Sellers.
In nearly every part of the Willam
ette Valley there is -wheat still waiting
prices that will never be reached.
When this cereal reaches a dollar a
imshel onr farmers can sell and make a
jhandsome profit, and to hold with the
idea of getting more is risking a sure
gain against a possible loss whioh
xnany, the past season, have on this ac
count, in Oregon, unfortunately ex
perienced. Our wheat growers should
reoollect that what they raiso is but a
grain in an elevator compared with the
world's products and it is as absurd for
ihem to fight against ruling prices as it
fwould be to take up arms against the
.Russians andTurksJoombined. It is a fact
ihat cannot be erased, that the prices of
wheat are regulated by the foreign de
mand, and all the puny efforts by our
well-intending farmers to run np their
profits, against figures ruling in Liver
pool, are as inefftual as the Saint's at
tempt to bail out the ocean with a
cocklo shell. Sell when you can with a
profit, but don't try to "bujl" the
jvorjd's markets by keeping back a hand
ul of grain, for, in the language of the
.day, "it won't work."
The Standard has ju9t been taught in
an editorial by Judge Deady in the
Oregonian that its pet greenbacks are
not subjeot to State taxation, which
immediately throws that journal upon
its left auricular organ and into a state
bordering on Edmundism. We would
not for a moment maintain that this
.exemption is just, but do think it will
kliow the rampant Brick Pomeroyites
that even now, silver or no silver, re
sumption or no resumption, that it is
"very easy for capitalists to esoape paying
a cent of dues tp the government, by
merely putting their coin into these
governmental promissory notes.

A Word to Your.g Men.
The young men gets a great deal of
gratuitous counsel in these days. Old
men are constantly telling them what to
do and what not to do. Preachers string
platitudinous advices together in ser
mons and deliver them to young men.
Lecturers bid for popularity by fine and
wise exhortations to the young. The
bookmakers are continually shying vol
umes at the young man's head, and
every few days the newspapers preach
at him in articles full of sage advice.
Certainly if the young men of this" gen
eration do not make a mark in the m orld
and become heroes, and statesmen, and
philosophers, it will not be for want of
instruction. How can they miss the
road and wander off into by paths when
the track is pointed out by a regiment
of directory, and is lined with miles of
guide-boards ? It i3 just possible that
young men may be instructed too much.
There is such a thing as killing by kind
ness. Stuffing is as bad as starving in
its effects, though rather pleasanter in
its operation. It is notable that in the
counsel given to our young men the
negative element gets more than its
share of attention. They ore advised
against many things. They are treated
to a dispensation of "nots." They are
warned against this pleasure, forbidden
that indulgence, prohibited a score of
enjoyments. At every tempting open
ing they are met by n moral placard
telling them that no young man must
enter at his peril, and whenever they
turn their heads toward "an " alluring
prospect, they are brought up with a
very sharp pull of the moral check rein.
Most of the moralizing plastered over
them is made up of negatives. It is
assumed that they need nothing but
hold-backs.
Good young men were never so plenty
as at the present day. Our good homes,
excellent schools, improving social ap
paratus, and the genial influence of our
civilization show their best results in
the firmer typo of young men and maid
ens growing up in our State. Still there
is a great deal of vice and dissipation,
and a certain want of the tough and
hardy virtues which characterized our
pioneer parents. Notwithstanding the
Sunday Schools, the pious instructions
lavished upon our young people, and
the literary confectionery served up for
them in the namby-pamby fiction man
ufactured for their reading, there is a
great deal of loafing, "hoodlumism" and
actual vice among them, whilo the hardy
virtues which go to make men strong
and serviceable pillars of society are at
a discount. There is a growing impres
sion that coddling and caressing and
the dispensation of "nots" and literary
sugar plums are not enough to save boys
from the bad and make stalwart ener
getic men of them. They need a more
active and energetic discipline, a more
bracing regimen than modern culture
affords. There are elements of over
looked importance in the hard methods,
the self -dec ial, the exposures, the rough
and burly treatment of by-gone days.
There are qualities in human nature
which need hardship and exposure, the
rough-and-tumble of life in the actual
world to bring out. Self-reliance, in
dustry, self-denial, contact with others
are absolutely necessary to develop the
manlier qualities and turn gristle into
bone.and the flabby impulses and mushy
sentiments into inflexible principle and
indomitable will. Innocence is of no
account whatever in this every-day world
without grit to back and ambition to
vitalize it. There is an element of rea
son in the almost universal preference
for a man who is smart and clever and
energetic, even though the robes of his
reputation are somewhat stained, to the
good enough milk-sop or the cultured
and conscientious nobody.
The first advice of a man of the world
to young men who expect to live in this
world is to be somebody. The culture
that does not culminate in action is
useless. The education that does not
sharpen the faculties and train the judg
ment and fit its possessor for a tougher
wrestle with obstacles and a more ener
getic and useful career is a wicked
waste of the time and privilege spent in
getting it. At the bottom of Horace
Greeley's advice to young men to come
in this direction was an admirable elo
ment of self-reliance and activity. His
"west" was anywhere and everywhere
where a man could do anything on his
own account. The bedrock of it was
self-directing, self-reliant action. It
was a command to go and do something
instead of loitering about iu other peo
ple's way, and hanging on to the skirts
of other people's garments. And it is
here that the sturdy and tonic counsel
of tho seR-made man of the world is so
much bettor than the sentimental aod
gilt-edged and perfumod advices that
are given young men from the pulpit
and platform. Half the vice and dissi.
pation of our young men come from
sheer donothjngism, Thoy are not en
gaged in any thipg important and urgent
enough to call their faculties into play
and develop their manhood, and make
them feel their own might and inspire
them with & proper self-respect. The
scum collects from stagnation. The rot j
comes from lying still. Thera is nothing,
after all, to save young men from the
temptations of modern life, like setting
their minds on some object in the world 1
and working with mind and might to
realize it, without regard to rose-water
sentiment and mush-room morality.
The young man who bravely buttons
his coat up to his chin to cover his rag
ged vest, or his want of a vest, and sets
himself squaroly to work on his own
aooount, doiLg something that is honest
and useful, paying his way as lie goes,
and making every day tell on the final
result, is sure to win in the end. And
it is men who do something, men who
make their mark by the hard blows they
strike, men who compel tbeir fellows to
feel their force and respect their useful
ness, to whom the world always ac
cords honor at last. Since writing the
foregoing . we have come across th
following in a valuable exchange, that
so fully endorses onr opinions that we
cannot refrain publishing it as a strong
peroration to a .weak essay, on the
ground and with the hope that "all is
well that ends well:"
We very often meet with young men
who, at the age of twenty-one, are no
more fitted to fight the battle of life
than most boys are at sixteen. This is
often, to an extent at least, the fault of
friends who.through mistaken kindness,
have taken upon themselves the think
ing and reasoning that should have been
done by those they so urgently desire
to assist. In other cases it arises from
a lack of force of character in the young
men that induces them to rely on their
friends for advice and counsel rather
than exert themselves to the extent nec
essary to form an opinion on which to
found a judgment. One of the first les
sons a man should be taught is that of
self-reliance. Let him seek the advice
of older and wiser people if he will;
good counsel harms no one; but ho
should carefully consider all they say,
and then decide for himself ; sometimes,
perhaps often, he will decide wrongly
but every wrong decision is. or should
be, a valuable lesson. Friends may
properly bo used as counsellors and
guides, but not as leaning posts or
staffs. Learn another's stroke if you
think it better than yours, then pahlle
your own canoe. Floats and life-preservers
are often very serviceable but
they ore not always at hand in time of
danger, and he is wise who learns to
swim without their assistance. Until a
boy can learn to rely on his own judg
ment, he will never be a man, in reality,
no matter what his age may be.
On tho 0th inst. Representative Gar
field, of Ohio, made a most eloquent
speech in the House of Representatives
on tho question of resumption, in an
swer to the Hon. Wm. D. Kelly, of
Philadelphia. His shafts of wit struck
home with unerring force, rceating
much laughter, whilo his honest out
burst in favor of tho credit and resump
tion of his country greeted with loud
applause, and mado him the subject of
many hearty congratulations from his
brother members. His closing thoughts
and serious warning were thus beauti
fully expressed:
For myself, I care not in what party
it lands me, or in what company it finds
me, when the day of resumption comes.
I stand with the men who are for the
money of the constitution and for the
faith of the nation. We cannot be a
moment too soon in understanding the
nature and designs of those who aro
advocating what they call an American
system of finauce.
The Portland Board of Trade has re
fused to hamper the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company with conditions and
those who had faint hopes of railroad
connection with the East have given up
with disgust. Had the Portland Board
of Trade been possessed of back bone
enough, and been untrammeled by O
S. N. Company influence, it would have
insisted upon the N. P's starting the con
struction of its road from Portland to
wards the Eist. Refusing this, .Oregon,
and especially Portland, have been sacri
ficed, and our prospects for a railroad,
in the near future, "knocked in the
cabeza."
Mr. Montgomery Blair has given up
his attempt to have the Presidential
question reopened. The Committeo on
Federal Relations in the Maryland
Legislature reported unfavorably on
his memorial, and he wisely accepted
the situation. But in defending his
manifesto he stated that the only diffi
culty in tho way of placing Tilden in
the Presidency now is the fact that
almost every Democrat in Congress is
opposed to him. A major.:ty of the
Democrats preferred even Hayes to
Tilden, and doggedly opposed any and
every scheme that looked toward a re
opening of the Presidential question.
Id our remark last week that printers
who - scarcely know the difference be
tween an imposing stone and tho proper
way to spell gauge, wanting to start a
newspaper, our compositor very appro
priately exemplified the fact by putting
the "u" before the "a" in gauge. We
at first intended to get out of this by
saying it was intentionally done, like
tho lines in Pope's Essay on Criticism
that carry their own examples, but as
that might appear rather too diaphan
ous for the average Oregonian, we have
simply followed in the path of our
illustrious predecessor by blaming it
on the "devil."
Good Roads. The Oroville (Cal.)
Mercury says:
There is less money spent on tho
streets of Oroville than any other town
in the county. If the people want the
streets repaired, they put their hands
in their Dockets and take the money
out to pay for it. The public money is
all sent out of town to make good roads
that shall induoe people to come here
to trade. This is the way that our town
has prospered. This is the way that we
have been able to make such headway
in business, until now our town stands
a marvel of wealth and life. Our mer
chants are all wealthy. Qnr mechanics
have all the work they can do, and get
good prices for it too.
The talk of reimposing the inoome
tax apnears to be a direot attack upon
the pooket of Harvey Soott, but for
some reason that we cannot readily de
fine, the enaotment of such a law would
not in tho least disturb our slumber.nor
decrease very materially our annual
stipend.
Germany wants none of our silver
bonds, and it is safe to say that our

were "penny wise and pound foolish."

Washington, March 11. The house
committee on coinage, weights and
measures have substantially agreed to
report a bill abolishing the trade dollar.
Their chairman, Alexander H. Stephens,
originated the measure a few days ago
in the committee and expected to pre
sent it to the house to-day, but con
cluded to defer his report. J Horace
Davis, hearing of Stephen's intention,
this morning protested against the
measure, and he and Wren, of Nevada,
immediately claimed the privilege of
being on the subject by the committee
before final action. Stephens, in reply,
promised that they shall have the de
sired opportunity. Persons living on
the Pacific coast who are exposed to the
absolute abolishment of this coinage
should indicate their opposition very
promptly, as the committee expect to
report on the subject next week, and
probably next Monday.
Senator Mitchell introduced a bill
authorizing the construction of a bridge
across the Willamette at Portland.
Messrs. Mitchell, Dawes, Teller.Ran
som and Barnum, a sub-committee of
the senate railroad committee, to-day
unanimously agreed npon Mitchell's
bill granting three years time for the
construction of the Oregon Central
Railroad from Forest Grove to Astoria,
and authorized Mitchell to report it to
the full committee with important
amendments. Under this bill lands are
all to be thrown open to settlement, the
company reserving the proceeds of the
sales to actual settlers by the govern
ment. The same senrtors constitute the sub
committee on the Northern PaciSc bill,
and their action to-day establishes the
principle for which Senator Mitchell,
lias been contending in regard to tho
Northern Pacific and all similar land
grants.;
On the call of States to-day, when
Oregon was reached, Senator Mitchell
introduced three very importaut bills,
which will meet with tho hearty ap
proval of the people of the State that
ho represents. The first bill is in rela
tion to the pre-emption of publis lands,
and amends the law in favor of citizens
of foreign birth, so that adults of for
eign nationality who have declared
their intention of becoming citizens of
tho United States, may pre-empt public
lands in Oregon. It will bo remember
ed that the TJ. S. Courts construed the
act of 1851 as not conferring the right
to pre-empt land on persons of foreign
birth who had delared their intention
of becoming citizens of this country.
On section of tho above bill amends
the public land act of 18(J0, by con
ferring on widows who came to Oregon
between the first day of January, 1850,
and the last day of December, 1853, the
rights to homestead a quarter section
of land.
The second bill grants to the Portland
Bridge company the right to construct
a bridge across the Willamette river be
tween the cities of Portland and East
Portland, at a point not further north
than Oak street in the city of Portland.
This bill is worded substantially the
same as that brought here by Governor
Thompson. A3 the bill is only of local
interest, it will be passed if supported
by the Oregon members.
The third bill introduced to-day by
Senator Mitchell was one making ap
propriations for important matters in
Oregon. The first is the improvement
of the channel of the Coqnille river, in
Coos county, for which the bill appro
priates the sum of $25,000, to be ex
pended under the direction of the War
Department. The other item is the ap
propriation of $5,000 to bo expended in
making a bydrographio survey of Coos
Bay, with a view of determining the
practicability of widening, getting
greater depth to and straighteniug the
entrance to the channels in that valua
ble body of water.
In the criminal court yesterday be
fore Judge Wyllie, the case of U. S.
against Gen. O. O. Howard, late com
missioner of the Freodmen's refuge and
abandoned lands, was taken up. This
is an action to recover $13,401, found to
be due on settlement of his accounts,
and it is alleged these moneys en mo in
to his hands by virtue of his being such
commissioner aud trustee, the amounts
being due to colored soldiers, etc., and
nnder the act of Congress a larpre por
tion of this fund was invested. The de
fense was that tho subject matter of
this case had been a subject of inquiry
by tho army and he was exculpated;
that the funds in question were in the
hands of G. W. Bullock, a detailed offi
cer, and defendant was not responsible.
Undor instructions of the court a ver
dict was found for the defendant.

London, March 12. In view of the
refusal of Russia to allow the congress
of the powers to review the full terms
of the Russo-Turkish treaty, England
aud Austria have agreed to unite in an
attempt to force matters; and all the
British war vessels which have been
ordered home from the Dardanelles and
the Mediterranean, have been ordered
by tho Admiralty rendezvous at Malta.
Russia's refusal to allow Greece a repre
sentative at the congress of powers is
given as another reason for this action
on the part of England, in whioh she
has the good will of Austria. 1 he con
gress will probably take place between
the 25th and 31st of the present month.
The powers are apparently as far as
ever from an understanding regarding
the settlement of tho terms of peace.
England firinly insists that the peaoe
treaty bo received in regard to all points;
while Russia as firmly asserts that no
thing but certain main provisious shall
bo passed upon by the congress of the
grant powers. Austria will cast her
full strength with England in any event. .
B. Whiten and E. L. Smith, of Wasco
oounty, are mentioned as Republican,
candidates for Congress.
Washington Letter.
Washington, D.C., Feb. 22, 1878.
Neither Senate or House is in session
to-day .having adjourned over yesterday
till Monday. The Senate had exhausted
itself upon the question of confirmation
of tho President's nominations, and the
House could not be expected to work
after its summary disposition of the
silver bill until it had at least three
days for rest and recuperation.
The temperance men took possession
of our streets and made a grand demon
stration of procession banners and mu
sic. - If our 22d is not duly celebrated
it will not be from lack of brass bands
and long files of men and boys in their
rear. There was every promise for a
stormy day this morning early, for the
clouds poured down heavy showers
upon us; yet at 10 o'clock the sun shone
as brightly and warmly as ever in April.
So our celebration of this anniversay
has had nothing to check enthusiasm or
lessen the ranks of the participators.
During the week the two national asso
ciations, the Agricultural Congress and
Forestry Associations, have met here,
and after several days interesting dis
cussions adjourned to meet in New
Haven, Conn., next August. They dis
cussed all subjects pertaining to their
respective domains; the Agricultural
Congress, particularly, having a wide
field, treated upon tariff, railroads, gov
ernment land system and a dozen kin
dred political subjects in which agricul
turalists are more or less deeply con
cerned. The vexed Louisiana enibroglio came
tip in the Honse, and, of course, pro
voked acrimonious debate to the exclu
sion of other matters, even of silver.
The contested election case of Acklen
vs Darrel of the 3d Louisiana district,
was called up by Mr. Harris, of Va.,
who advocated the seating of Acklen on
the ground that Darrell received fraud
ulent certificates through the Wells
Anderson returning board, and this
charge, of course, reopeued the Presi
dential question, upon which both par
ties took sides.
The galleries were crowded on Tues
day and Wednesday by those who de
sired to hear the discussion of the silver
bill in the House, and those who have
been bored nearly to death by the ap
parently neverending waste of breath
upon tho returning board muddle, can
appreciate the disgust of the visitors to
tho Capital over the renewed discussion
of this matter. Mr. Stephens, of Ga.,
announced that he would move to con
cur in the Senate amendments, and the
applause greeting his remarks showed
clearly that even among the members
there was a strong desiie to dispose of
the silver bill. But the mud flingers
had the floor, and right well did they
use their power. It may be well for
our legislators to reopen these old sores
the fruit of onr bad system of electing
Presidents and at a cost of thousands
of dollars to the country, spend days in
calling each other names; but we are
unable to see the good accomplished in
so doing, and heartily wish we may
have no more of it this Congress.
The Senate has passed the bill giving
pensions to the surviving soldiers of
the war oM.812 and the widows of that
war without regard to date of marriage
All those dropped from the rolls for
disloyalty are restored, hence tne bill
is of sweeping nature in contrasts with
the law which it amends. The vote up
on it in the Senate is simply surprising
50 nays and 80 yeas is an astonishing
difference, and taken in consideration
with the debate indicates that our Sol
ons are reaching a desire to wipe out
all sectionalism and to remove sufih
laws as discriminate against classes
Under the present law the widow of an
1812 soldier must have married him
prior to 1815; a provision so clearly
wrong in its nature that we were not
surprised to find Mr. Blaine and others
taking ground against it. One Senator
said, The wife who took care of an old
soldier was as much entitled to pension
as she who married him in his youth
Mr. Edmunds found himself, as he of
ten does, fighting against a bill without
a corporal's guard to back him, but it
doesn't seem to make any difference to
him, as he deals out his logic and prec
edent as freely as if he had the whole
Senate to back him. The house, of
course, will pass the bill without delay,
as the sentiment there in favor of its
provisions is very strong, and as few
will be found to oppose it as the 7 who
voted "no" with Mr. Edmunds in the
Senate. The old law wronged the minor
who served in tho war of 1812. Hi
youth precluded marriage, and yet he
was forced to fight precisely as had he
been an adult. Why tlien bar his wid
ow, who married him shortly after his
muster, out i ouch was the case with
your writer's mother, and therefore aur
deep interest in this Senate measure
may be appreciated: Pension is more
a recognition of service than a provis
ion for bread, and if so why has the
widow who married in 1814 a preference
over her whoso marriage occurred m
1818?
Contrary to the wishes of the extreme
silver men, the House made short work
of the silver bill when they reached it,
and have made it a law by such strength
that we take it for granted that the end
is reached in the way of discussion.
We have grown so wearied with the
prolonged debate that, thongh we are
gold standard believers, we feel like
jollifying over the result. No one
doubted at the outstart that the Senate
amended bill would substantially pass,
and the weeks of debate have been, to
ns at least, most trying punishment.
Mr.Stephens took the equitable ground
of compromise of individual belief, and
that is just what our dignified Senators
should have dono weeks ago, and not
have bored us with such long-winded
orations. As they have restored the
franking privilege, we suppose that the
country will now be flooded with their
speeches, which, with rare exceptions,
were delivered in the Senate to empty
benches.
Auother round on woman's rights.
Ben Butler carried through the House
Mrs. Lookwoods's bill permitting wo
men to praotioe in the supreme court,
and thongh it is quite likely the meas
ure will be strangled in the Senate Ju
diciary committee, yet it is a victory
that such strong recognition should
have been obtained in the Honse, Mrs.
Lockwood and her sister workers are
pertinacious, and it is only ,a question
of a few years until they can plead law
here on an equal footing with men. j
Then what ?
Commissioner of Pensions Bentley is ;

Mr. Bently proposes to substitute a
traveling board who will apportion the
country into districts and then compel
applicants to appear before it. We scout
his insinuations that our present exam
iners are untrustworthy, and denounce
his schem-.- as a fraud. What guaranty
have we that a Bently ring will be com
posed of honest men ? His claims as to
economical results are entirely baseless
and we reject his scheme as an insult
to such as have 10 grains common sense
in their brains. Junius.

" Grnnan Syrup."
Ko other medicine in the world was ever
given such a test of its curative qualities as
Boschee's German Syrup. In three years two
million four hundred thousand small bottles
of this medicine were distributed free of charge
by druggists in this country to those afflicted
with Consumption, Asthma, Croup, severe
Coughs, Pneumonia and other diseases of the
Throat and Bungs, Riving the American peo
ple undeniable proof that German Syrup will
euro them. The result has been that druggists
in every town and village in the United States
are recommending-it to their customers. Go

about it. Sample bottles 10 cents. Regular
size 75 cents. Three doses will relieve any case.
