OREUOM ITU, THURSDAY JILY 4. 1S7S.
Our Fourth of July Oration.
Once more we meet on this historic
gronud to tlau!: leaven for the fl?as
in Continental Hall which eo pestered
the forefathers of the Republic, that
they signed the Declaration on the 4th
of July instead of endnriDg another
day of agony. The martyrdom they suf
fered before they caire to the scratch,
none but bashful young ladies in com
pany similarly pestered can ever know.
How much of the torture, writhe and
twist they wriggled through belonged
to mental agony at cutting loose from
the theet anchor of King George or
physical pang at the flea hanker for a
bloody gorge, tho historian does not
record, but this much we know the day
was very warm, flies and flean abounded
and the muttered calls on Jehorah
wre not wholly devotional as the great
act was recorded. If any here or else
where doubts this serious allegation let
him peruse the signature of Stephen
Hopkins, to that sacred instrument; if
that does not convict that small insect
of diabolical energy on the person of
Stephen, at the time and place aforesaid
may wa never again know the intense
pleasure of that hour of peace n-hich
follows the hour of seach from cellar
to garret, of our individual autonomy.
Thus much for fleas, which we have de
monstrated, have a patent right to the
4th of July. Fellow citizens hold them
sacred on the 4th of July they are the
emblem ot our national life and having
much of the characteristic vim of the
American veoile. it would seem as if
the blood of our ancestry cour ed
through their veins, it probably
does. But fellow citizens we have .some
ihing more exalted to talk about than
fleas on such a glorious occasion, we
turn to that sacred bird of liberty who
sits enthroned on our banners ami half
dollars, the Eagle! that proud biru
whose home.eicept when eyeing a neigh
boring hen roost, is in the pure ether
of the upper nky. It never quits the
company of the Angels in th.it exalted
space to prey on the birds and beasts of
the nether world, unless it i3 dead sure
of making a capture. Who of us but
is proud of the eagle ? He teaches us
that great moral doctrine, "be sure you
are safe then go ahead". In our love
for the eagle let us not fail to exalt the
Genius of our Country.the far reaching
and presumably wise 'divinity who in
vites hither the oppressed of all crea
tion, who have come to stuy and
brought their household gods along
with them: tho Italian with his hand
organ and monkey; the Englishman with
bis 'arf and 'arf; the Irishman with his
shillelah and fondness for tangle-foot;
the Scotchman with his scratching
posts and bag-pipe ; the Frenchman with
that indescribable grimaco and frog
hungry look; the Spaniard with his
tinkering to drive cattle over the bor-

principally because he couldn't help
himself; the Chinaman, because there
wasn't room to stay where he was; the
Kanuck, because there was opportunity
to smuggle across the lino and so to
turn an honest penny all have come
on our generous invitation, and Uncle
Sam assimilates them as fast as he can
into the character of new born citizens,
patriots and statesmen. This is un
doubtedly a glorious land, but the
cream of the whole batch of country is
here iu Oregon the land of red apples;
the land where future empire reposes
its sceptre whose bounteoua crops and
full granaries assures a banquet
to the fntare generations which puts
the feast dedicated to the Prodigal Son
in the background; but while we art un
stinted in our praise of Oregon in gen
eral, it is Clackamas county especially,
whose banner we unfurl to the breeze
and defiantly ask te'tur is the county
save this the world over that can show
such fields of grain, such orchards,
such forests, such s-dmon-runs and Osh
propagation works, such water-powers,
such woolen and flouring mills, such
iron ore bed a and reduction works,
such mountain and streams? and echo
repeats from its empty travels, vhar
and turning from the material to the
physical world: our cattle, our horses,
our sheep, our girls, our wives and onr
neighbors" wivs, our uncles what a
glorious host are they I and how sys

of wonderment, and word fail in in

enthusiasm we feel ca this subject, and

we want to say, but can't. Tonrown viv

to 11 up the void. ThU r. rich we can
say, however, and we do so boldly even
defiantly , Clackamas county has every
requisite to make it a paradise on earth,
save perhaps a distillery; but thi
is amply atoned for br the

Whoa, January!
Ero. Ireland last week mounted his
prose Pegasus, anient perambulating
through space in the following rhap
sody: " The sea, with its great resist
less tide, makes the brain seem like
some ancient attic of the mind ono
likes to explore, drawing from which,
you take now and then a flower, dead
aud faded perhaps; then some scraps of
song or a letter, the words of which
you have outgrown."
We know of one kind of "see" whose
resistless tide, unless checked, makes
the brain and stomach seem like some
ancient barnyard which mined, we draw
from thence a shred of crab, an oyster,
a scrap of Limburg cheese, chips of
bologna sausage and cardamon seeds.
after ejection
and aching i
vcrie of the
phantasms of
the wearied stomach
brain produce a re
mind, in which the
a lifetime hold revel;
ghouls and goblins dance attendance on
snakes and crawling reptiles; the
dreamer writhes in their cruel embraces,
and being in torment, longs for the re
turn of the innocent days of his youth,
when he was O. G. for a Sons of
Temperance Lodge and only an occa
sional nip, behind the scenes seemed to
exhilarate life's waste places. Then
Life's pathway was strewn with
roses, and the jimjams only a matter of
anticipation: but alas for the revery,
the dreamer a,wakes to behold the emp
ty beer keg, the lost muck-a-muck, and
the hard idol-breaking realities along
the up-hill road of the future, throw
ing au ominous gloom over1 the wrecked
and despoiled treasures of the present
The uuly recompense seems to
be
to
drown such cavernous
reflections

another schooner of Lager, a glad
nepenthe from the woes of musing

and so perhaps have an advantage oer

The story of the Temptation and the
Fall is again illustrated bv Mother
Duniwny she says: " We didn't want
to dance, for our Presbyterian toes
have never bettn taught the light fan
tastic trip, which, in reality, is nothing
move than the heavy resounding of har
moniously tramping heels;" but appeal
and entreaty triumphed, and "she did
eat thereof." Now we don't propose to
moralize over her fall, but it is her defi-
nition of the dance that we wish to cast
our editorial optics over. The defini
tion of the ancient and venerable
dame that "the light fantastic
trip is but the heavy resounding of
tramping heels," Ave fear is not ortho
dox. She has mistakon the thud of her
No. 8 brogans to be the sylphio twinkle
and patter of Cinderilla feet, which, ac
cording to Wordsworth,
"Beneath the petticoat glide in and out.
Like little mice that shun the light."
Now the heavy shadow of those huge
hulk-looking extremities whioh nature
has bestowed on Mother Duniway are
besoms of destruction calculated to
over awe successful opposition. They
were made to emphasize her peculiar
theories of womens rights to crush out
opposition, to stand firm, strong and
sure in the position she has assumed
as Healer of woman wrongs; but the
attempt to mutilate a dance, to plunge
the other seven of the set in the inde
scribable agony of abraded cores, to
drown the shrill cry of the fiddle and
the hoarse bawling of tho caller with
the commotion of those heavily re
sounding pediments is a crime which
should be called to the attention of the
Grand Jury and an indictment procurel
against her for disturbing the peaeo
No, No, Mother Dunniway let the fri
volties aud follies of the elastic in your
minds eye be done away with. Ele
phants never dance and Hippopota
muses would scorn the insinuation.
Let each content himself with his lot
knowing not why natur ebrcak3 out in
spots, as it does but oontont because
"God huth made them o;" but as for
the proper definition of the dance, it is
well we cant say exactly what but
it is not " the heavv resounding of
tramping heels ."
The iron works at Oswego have been
resuscitated under the ownership of
Messrs. Seely, Brown. Crichton fc Co.,
who have gone to rork without a flour
ish of trumpets, and are no engaged
in turning out au average of eight tons
of hot blast iron per day. The new
proprietors are men who are familiar
with the requirements in iron produc
tion, aud will undoubtedly make money
in the calling. We understand it is
their Intention soon to turn their fur
nace to the manniactura of cold blast
iron a quality which commands oveT
twice the figures of the hot blast pro
duction. The coM blast iron, from its
greater tenacity and fibrous strength, is
used for car-wheel castings, of whioh

Washington Letter.
Washington D. C. June 21, 1878.
Congress has adjourned. There is
no further evidence of the fact needed
than our deserted hotels street cars
and chariots and nncrowded avenues.
For three weeks past every vehicle go
ing to and from the Capitol, a'l our ho
tel offices, and Pennsylvinia Avenue
have been rilled with people seeming
ly deeply interested in the political and
legislative problems over which Con
but now all this excitement, crowd,
gress was wrestling ituelf day and night,
and concentiation towards the Capitol
have disappeared, the flag which flaunted
its bright folds over each house, has
been taken down. The brilliant light
in the tholus or lantern upon the dome
no longer informs us that the country is
being saved by the solons below, and
on every hand appear the indisputable
evidences that onr holiday is upon us,
and that till Decembernext Washington,
like some rural town in busy harvest
times, when the farmer or his good wife
caanot come to the store for barter,
must give up the streets and hotels to
the inevitable lull and quiet of the
recess, lwe some village, wnicn, witu
a so-called college, that brings its three
score of students to the place, and
nothing more in the way of business.
We have had our commencement exer
cises, and now with deserted streets
and vacant rooms are putting our
boarding houses in repair for the next
season. We have watched Congress
for many years, and yet its closing
scenes now interest, amuse and disgust,
as keen as when novelty lent its charms
to what was before us. The utter dis
regard of much, very much, that is due
to decencv and order, the rushing
tiirough of bills compelling the ex
penditure of millions of dollars without
a single member present having the
slightest intelligent idea of what was
involved therein; the howling of the
excited men who were endeavoring to
drown the howling of other members;
the continuous rattle and rap of the
Speaker's gavel, and his calls to order;
le excentricitv and manuiiniroitv of
some members, who putting "cold tea "
into their mouths to steal away their
brains, give themselves up to all kinds
of antic3, together with the utter ina
bility to hear what any one says all
serve to raakea scene or a picture which
never loses its fascination to us, and we
can go through u whole night's session
without sleep, and unflagging interest.
Ben Butler on Tuesday tried to make a
five-minute speech, but he was fairly
hooted down, and so great was the up
roar and confusion created by his perti
nacity and disregard of the call to
order that the Speaker directed the
Sergcant-at-arms "to dohisdnty," who,
walking up to old Ben, induced him to
take his seat. Another member, evi
dently full of benzine, persistently in
terrupted everv proceeding with some
pointless comment, and it was hard to
tell which produced the greater dis
turbance, Butler's obstinacy, or the
vagaries of a whisky head. In the
final hours the Fisheries Award broach
ed some earnest debating, in which Mr.
Hewitt and his old antagonists, Gar
field and nale, joined hands and fairly
swept the House by their eloouent ap
peals. Sam Cox repeatedly interrupted
Mr. Hale with peremptory denials. " It
is not so, sir," and would listen to no
call to order, and finally grew so bellig
erent that he was quieted with a grant
for a five minutes' speech, which he
well used, and he made a strong ef
fort to defeat the appropriation, though
the odds were against him. In 1850, iu
the Ohio Republican convention which
nominated Dennison for Governor, and
Joshua IJ Giddings was called to make
a speech, one of his statements was
contradicted bv Mr. Cox, who was pres
ent, in precisely the same words and
manner used towards Mr. nale, and we
rather liked his quick rectification of an
rroneous statement. Thi award is the
bitterest pill ever swallowed by the
American Congress.. AU abhorred and
condemned it, and tho only difference
of opinion was as to its payment as a
matter of honor. Mr. Hewitt said he
would rather go home in sack cloth and
ashes than to repudiate it. Mr. Hale
denounced it yet favored payment. Mr.
Garfield took the same ground, and
raised a laugh by saying " Even g im
blers pay their gambling debts, I'm
told." Ben Butler, for a wonder,
backed Sunset Cox, ajd the two sworn
enemies made common cause against
tho common enemy the two hyenas of
the House ceased for once their ac
customed howling at each other.
The assertion was constantly made
by advocates of the remonetization of
the "dollar of onr daddies," that it on
ly needed the resumption of silver coin
age of United States to restore the val
ue of silver in the markets of the world
to the relation it occupied with gold
previous to demonetization of silver by
Germany and the development of bo
nanzas in the Comstock lode. The as
sertion is flatlv contradicted by facts.
On March 1, 1878, the day after the
Eland bill passed into law over the
President's veto, silver was quoted in
London at 55d per ounce. Yesterday
its value was 52i-d per ounce, a decline
in round figures of 5 per oent. The
result of the bill so far, has been to
cause the coinage of some 8,000,000
standard dollars, which are lying idle
in the Treasury vaults because noborly
wants them except at a discount, and
the intrinsic value of which is steadily
depreciating.
The official vote was canvassed by
the secretary of state on Saturday last,
except that for governor, which will be
canvassed by the legislature. , For
congressman the vote was as follows:
Hines, 15.G93. Whiteaker 16.741; Camp
lell, 1.183. Whiteaker's plurality, 1,
151. For secretary of state, Earhart's
10,333; Reams, 1C.042; Cates, 1,447.
Etrhart's plurality, 201. For treasurer,
Hirach, 10,613; Brown, 13,571; South
erly, 811. Hirsch's plurality, 1,072. For
printer, Carter, 16.430; Noltner, 15,8."6,
Craig, 1,437. Carter's plurality, 574.
For superintendent of public instruc
tion. Powell, 16,155; Stites, 16,097;
Tarker, 1,437. Powell's plurality, 62.
The total vote of the state is 33,920,
being an increase of 4,047 over that of
the presidential election of 1876.
The London Lancet states, on the au
thority of an Austrian military report,
that an analysis of a sample of bread
supplied to the Russian troops in Bul
garia revealed the presence of nineteen
per cent of sawdust and fonrteen per
cent of sand. Pretty tough food that,
even for a stomach of a Russian soldier
aconstomed to rye bread and vodki.
It is an evidence that the morals of
army contractors in. Eastern Europe
are not much better, and perhaps a

Reflections not W holly Orthodox.
Editor Enterprise : The two most
forlorn and lonesome parties that will
have representation in the constitu
tional convention in California will be
strange as it may seem the Repub
lican and Democratic, scarcely a cor
poral gnard of either being returned as
delegates for that important purpose.
It seems that the Workingmcn, the
Kearnyites and the Non-Pai tisans have
swept the State and left not a vestage
of the old glory of tho historic contes
tants to chronicle. It leads to the con
clusion that the old war-cries are no
longer effective as slogans- to marshal
disputants in aeried columns, that the
discipline of party is broken and chaos
reigns within the party camps. It is
quite apparent that the masses are not
satisfied with the present condition of
affairs, and are restive under the sway
of either Democrat or Republican.
Whether there i iu it the premonitory
symptoms like that which prceeded
tho upheaval of the French Revolution,
we leave casuists to determine, certainly
the signs are not propitious, and it may
token the multerings of a coming storm
which will prove a sirocco in sweeping
away existing conditions of political
servitude, even if it does not go farther
and overturn the forms of government.
There is much to make the people res
tive, and particularly the working
classes, the encroachment of cheaper
forms of labor, and 'contraction of the
circulating m?dium produces wide
spread destitution and misery. These
two evils menace the homes and welfare
of thousands and millions in our land
and no legislation has been undertaken
by either of the old oarties to avert tho
coming danger, and this is the reason
why we hear of the disruption of party
ties all over tho lands, and the wide
spread and deep disaffection of the la
boring classes who are easily led into
heresies of political action which seri
ously upsets the arithmetic of the poli
tician. For our part although our isola
tion and comparativechildhood saves us
from the blight and depression incident
to an older and denser population, still
the upheaval is apparent, and the ties of
friendship which reach across the con
tinent evokes the bond of sympathy, and
like the Apostle, we feel "with them in
bonds." There is an earnest feeling
founded in reason, that there should be
no further contraction ot currency, but
rather that its volume should be en
larged to meet the" growing wants of a
growing nation', and in order to meet
there wants there is no good reason,
save that it trenches on the province of
the shylocks and money lenders -why
the government should not issue legal
tenders to whomever will hypothecate
good security therefor; suppose
A has a farm worth 10,000, and wishes
to borrow Si, 000 giving his farm as se
curity; means should bo provided by
to enable him to go to a govern
ment director, pledge his laud to the
government on a mortgage learing
three or four per cent, interest and re
ceive his 1,000 of legal tenders there
for. Uncle Sam could set up a brokers
shop on this theory and very soon would
be in receipt of sufficient revenue to
run the expenses of the:goveinment,and
exercising his prerogative of sov
ereignty, who could dispute his edict?
the government would thus at once
cease its fnnelions as a borrower and
uecome a lenuer, ami hemna its issu
ance of scrip would be the tangible
property of the borrower. There is
nothing heretical in this idea, save to
the banker, broker aud money loaner.
It is to be expected that they will des
cant on the utter absurdity and ini
quity of such a proposition because it
would leave them very much like
Othello with "occupation gone" or at
least would put a rival and competitor
in the field against them. The govern
ment, however, will never be put upon
such a basis except by a revulsion of
the political elements which will throw
the workingman and laborer to the
front as our legislators, instead of the
present quality. If it could accom
plish this much, wo feel that we could
welcome the exchange our financial
theories are certainly leading us to
money stringency, which to thousands
means ruin. We are not of those
who desire an unlimited issuance of
paper money, without redemptional
valuation behind it, but we take issue
with those who insist it must be coin
redemption, we want real estate as well,
and we favor nominating Uncle Sam to
the distinction of being our venerable
"Uncle" to whom we can go if
wo choose with our lands, get his
letters of credit therefore, and pay him
our interest money as we would from
any other moneyed institution. The
other serious evil which menaces the
sons of toil is unlimited Chinese immi
gration, they are a curse and blotch to
any well populated country where they
come in direct competition with whito
labor. It is true they are not so nu
merous in Oregon a3 to occcasion any
hardship as yet, but if their number
was quadrupled they would begin to
seriously stagnate tho labor market;
they could be tolerated if they bad any
of the assimilating habits which make
American citizens out of the very worst
of other foreign material, bat unfortu
nately this they have not; his color,
religion, instinct and education makes
him an outcast and Pariah from the
fold of citizenship. He comes here as
a scavenger, and departs the same, fur
ther alliance with the subject is nnjnst
to the present and unborn generations
that are to represent the Americanism
in this land through the succeed-'n?
i mgea; still we see Republicans and Dem
ocrats alike both slinking fron
action in the premises, idle l
and desultory committee skirn
all the two old antagonists ca
effort.to ameliorate the rauk ai
labor in our land, and lift tin
of his calling above the pollut
of heathen hordes. It is th
coming.s of the parties in
is shaking up the old rib
threatens to overwhelm them m xum
mon ruin, both are strangely blind to
the interest of the common people and
seem designed to do the work and call
ing of the moneyed pbwer, the monopo
list, the rings and the factionists, whi'e
the interests of the whole people are
lost sight of in the general scramble to
uphold class legislation. . Cumtux.
The Democratic heart warms not at
the mention of Sammy Tildeh. Many
of the leading Southern papers say Mr.
Tilden will not be accepted as the can
date for the Presidency in 1880, on any
termg; and even the New York Express
sneers at the idea of Tilden being again
a candidate.
The following paragraph is not inten
ded for the ladies. We call particular
attention to this fact, in order to avoid
any misunderstanding that might arise
if any of them should accidentally per
sume it. We know they will all skip it
now, after we have invited their atten
tion to the matter, and thus we shall
be relieved of a great responsibility:
