.Reform.
The poor, tempest-tossed, and gform
leaten Democrat is truly an object of
sympathy now, and we can scarcely find
room to gloat over tbo misfortunes of
Ihe vererablo craft which swung loose
Irom the Tildcn anchorage of reform,
finds itself stranded on his cryptogram.
The enigmatical language contained in
his secret cipher was unearth td by the
persidfcLt, long-eontinued and inde
fatigable research of some idol -breaker,
who had not oue particle of veneration
for the old 'Nestor of reform. Tilden
protests uw innocence of any conniv
ance at the rascality his secret cipher
betrays, and unless he lies, as he proba
bly does, the only charitable excuse for
kim that we can discover, is that he told
the thieving crew which surrounded
him, Here is my secret cipher, ber
is my office, No. 15 Oramercy Park,
llero is my barrel full of best United
States documents; do with them as you
will; and I fully endorse the above."
This language sounds familiar, but
now we recollect, it is part of the
words of the late Col., ex-Senator, but
now Judge J. K. Kelly, who used a
similar expression with reference to the
use of eiht thousand best United States
documents (Tilden's documents, be it
understood) for the purchase of a He
publican elector in Oregon; and if we
have got part of the language of Judgo
Kelly blended with part of the reform
talk of Tilden, there is reason for it, to
be sure; hat looking at this p ecious
pair of reform twins," who is there
that can help saying, " 'Tis true, 'tis
pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true."
The question as to the advisability of
Bible reading in the public schools was
sprung in the Baptist convention lately
in session here, and Hon! F. O. Mc
Cown distinguished himself in an able
contention against tberprevailing Chris
tian theory of its necessity and import
ance. We are glad to see one of the
sect take the tolerant ground that
others have rights and feelings that
ought in charity to be respected. It is
a narrow, contracted sectarian and
zealot bias that moves any man. to im
pertinently obtrude what he considers
a feast of good things before the palled
tastes of dissenters; and more especial
ly is this so in America, Vhere the dif
ferent characteristics of our nationality
natarally bring together, but of
course cannot blend the most
heterogenous admixture of races with
every possible variety .of religious be
lief, and the whole mass leavened with
an important element as to numbers
who have no religion at all. Now it is
conspicuous and elevated humanitarian
ism to lock beyond the rancor of con
flicting religious beliefs and spread the
mantle of charity over all, to 2-elegate
the militant and proselyting creeds to a
common level, leaving each to work out
its destiny 'untrammelled by such ad
vantages, as Bible reading in the schools
would give the Christian over the Jew,
the Catholic, the Mohamedan, or the
Liberal. It is the highest exemplifica
tion of tho best and worthiest maxim
found within the lids of the Gcod
Book ' Do unto others as ye would
Lave others do unto you;" and we feel
assured Mr. McCown was moved by this
highest and most considerate of rea
sons for the position taken.
In converse of this view, who but in
stinctively knows that the zealot who
insists on its school reading is blinded
by the fierce dogmatic and intractable
instinct which overrides the equal
rights of others, aud bends the sway of
tolerance into the coils of the inqui
sition. Such an adherent, it seems to
us, belongs to the medievaf ages, when
the sword was the. sworn consort of the
creeds, and the rack -and thumb-screw
the chief promotors of the true faith.
Whoever that can say, "A free field
and a fair contest " for the conquest of
human beliefs rises high above the
skulker who would entrench himself
where plastic minds are easily moulded
to the touch of the master hand, and
thus win the victory of first choice, and
stands ' forth - in contrast as a MAN
ranged alongside of a cringing coward.
Some cobwebbed bookworm in tlffe
Department of Agriculture writes
to David Newsom that he under
stands there is a tradition among
the Indians here of a plant
known to them, from which sugar was
made long time ago, and old Uncle
Davy is ramping around among th6
runcheros trying to find it. We think
the whole tradition grew out of the
aet that from remote ages the noble
red man has been calling for " sugar in
liis'n," when planted in the way where
whisky abounded, and Uncle David
will get done up in spirits if he pursues
Lis investigation too far. Beyond the
abstruse question of how to pickle
cnesfau lof i'r.r'e. or toexierainate
lice, so that while they replenished the
commissary department as little pain or
mutilation as possible was inflicted, the
ponderous, and dextrous mind of the.
noble red man neyer dwelt on the triv
ial matter of unnecessary condiments
to sweeten his haphazard hash. -
The election returns from Washing
ton Territory are very meagre, and it is
impossible to-predict the result at pres
ent writing. So far as heard from,
Brents, Republican nominee for Dele
gate, has the best of the contest.

We Are Wiser Now Than Then.
Oregon City, that once was the
stronghold of temperance and all the
concomitant virtues that range around
it like cherubims around a saint; a city
where a red nose was looked upon in
scorn and derision unless its wearer
took refuge in the excuse of a boil, has
fallen from it3 high estate and can no
longer be classed in the world's lexi
cons as a Saint's Rest. Be ours the lot
to mnso over its fallen greatnesr
as Marius mourned over the rnins
of Home,
Zealander
the broken
and as Maeauley's New
is yet to plaiut over
arches of London's bridge
in the days of its downfall and decay.
Once smiling Good Tempi ars made
winsome the uncanny hours of night,
and the festive regalia exalted ordinary
clay in as many hues as nature bestows
in painting the lily and refining the
rose. "The heart that swelled beneath
the horse-collar device that bound them
in "purity, friendship and love," rose
in vindictive emotion as the fiery woes
of King Alcohol were expatiated upon,
and the regalia had to be loosened to
give them room to breathe. So, too,
Sons and Daughters of Temperauce
met together in weekly conclave to plot
against the evil machinations of Bed
Eye, and draw brands from the burn
ing out of the fiery furnace of the
dram-shop. How well do we remem
ber how The Hermit of Orsgon City
had the coat of somebody's stomach
who had in an evil day become a "Fright
ful Example " stretched upon rollers,
and cured to do extremo credit to some
excellent tannery. How the hermit
was able to get patches of that stom
ach in different stages of alcoholic de
composition always non-plussed us.
The "Frightful Eximpld" was certainly
an accommodating and good-natured
wretch, and to him are we indebted for
the coat of many colors, which, barring
Joseph's was the first known to history.
Under such guidarce, the mild and be
nignant influence of the Sons and
Daughters of Temperance, and the
rather scary and forcible persuasive of
the hermit, we were a reluctant com
munity to . drink at any rate, unless
very slyly; but in an evil hour an in
sidious and malevolent enemy of our
preconceived notions burst upon the
scene, and like the "rem tidi vici " of
the Roman conqueror, he came, saw
and conquered- Ho has taught us that
whisky, instead of being a deadly
poison, is bread, meat and substance
for six weeks continued debauch;
that the coat, jacket and under-clothes
of the human stomach is as impervious
to the action of rot-eye as a cast-iron
dog is indifferent to cold weather; that,
instead of refraining to look upon the
wine when it is red, that it is better than
soldiers'rations to sustain the human sys
tem for an indefinite, protracted period.
Is it then to be wondered at that faith
in abstinence became badly "shook
up?" For this reason, andonly, is it
that we have relapsed into a qui
escent state, in which invita
tions to drink are encouragingly winked
at and promptly accepted; that the
Good Templars' ball no longer echoes
to tho cheery refrain of the devotees of
cold water, but that now and then its
empty, silent and deserted corridors
re-echo to the noise of drunken bachan
als from the haunt beneath. Long
since has the pertinent question of
" Who do the things belong to " in that
communal lodge been decided under
the auctioneer's hammer, and a drowse
as drear as the baptismal of death hath
set its seal on the champions of the
" sparkling and bright." Let not any
moralist in our midst or elsewhere ab
jurgate the failing zeal of the formerly
faithful. We have been knocked out
of time by a standing or staggering
example of a man continuously and for
six weeks drunk, and after a week of
relapse into sobriety to go six weeks
drunk again. He is fat and healthy,
and bids fair to outlive many who lost
ground while striving to live a temper
ate life in the days when "The Hermit
of Oregon City, pooling all his issues
pulled that tanned stomach on us, and
bluffed us out of a good hand of aces;
but we are now even with him again,
and wiser than wo were before.
Editors and Their Privileges.
The Courts are beginning to take no
tice ol the relations of an editor toward
persons with whom he is brought into
confidential "Telalions. A Rochester
newsDaper man, who as called upon
to testify as to the manner in which he
obtained certain information published
in his paper bearing on a case at issue
in Court, declined to answer; alleging
that a disclosure by him of the name of
his informant would seriously injure
him in his business as the publisher of
a newspaper, and that as the informa
tion had been imparted to him under
pledge of secrecy as to the informant
he was as privileged as a lawyer who
had received, disclosures from his cli
ent. The Court took his view of the
case.
;St. Patcick and Col. Kelly tried to
buy an Oregon elector, and telegraphed
to Tilden's d-ffice that eight thousand
dollars uere needed to consummate the
purchase. It is said that all men have
their . price, but with a knowledgo of
the reform candidate's barrel of money,
the miserable cuss who could only affix
eight thousand dollars as the price of
an eternal infamy more conspicuous
than Arnold's or Judas Iscariot's, has
a soul so small that in comparison he
would sell h"w wife's honor for a peck
of peanuts; and ho public-are getting
anxious to know y hie h one it was.
Will Judge Kelly fUlv endorse this
and explain?
The Egotist
Of all the abominations in the land,
the egotist ought to go first, as his pre
tensions are the most boreful, and his
persistency the roost pertinacious. How
the great I swells into colloesal propor
tions as he descants on his lofty accom-
p'ishraents, and the common herd of ;
ordinary minds blend in an indistin
guishable ma53 beneath his empyrean
height. We have him in our midst as
M-ellas all other communities have him,
and are bored. Ho swells to insuffera
ble proportions as he descants on fur
nishing grease for the world's axles,
aud keeps the machinery ol trad mov
ing by his ponderous combinations of
possibilities. How uupieasant it is for
him, if in company, by loud ta'k uf
swagger, he is unable to catch the ear
of the gaping crowd, and shrivel theiu
into the focus they occupy in his en
throned I-amship. There is but one
refuge for a wretch who will not at
once surrender to genius so overpower
ing. He is the mark of scoro and con
tumely for the egotist, and is at once cast
into the outer darkness of his ineffable
contempt. The justice of the peace
who, after marrying tho couple, said,
"And now what God Almighty has
joined let no man put asunder," was
nowhere to the average bore who thinks
the east tips up when he goes to tbe
west, and that through him ordinary
events have extraordinary guidance.
If such could be taught (but that is an
impossible task,) that if deoth should be
such a disrespectar of persons as to
summon him, tho world would
little miss, nor long remember his
transcendant exaltation, very much
would be gained towards his final re
demption from the fatal disease that
makes him a nuisance and a bore; but
the infinite mercy of the ell-wise has
never yet so condescended, and it is
quite likely that the egotist departs with
this dying injunction to the imaginary
host of attending serophims thnt sur
round him, " Tell Gabriel to announce
my coming."
rhysicians give tbe mental disease
we have noted, the name of strabismus,
or disease of the " I." There is an ed
itor in Portland who has it badly, but
one in Salem is so much worse'disaased
that unless he is soon purgated, the
coroner will set in autopsy over a case
of swell-head that'will go beyond the
experience of all tho clinics.
The motive that actuates a man to
eay " I am unquestionably the best
writer and editor in the Slate " is a case
of jdiabclical strabismus which must
excite the commiseration of the sym
pathetic the world over; and if the
prayers of the faithful coull do aught
to benefit a mind diseased, : we ask
that a day of intercession be set apart
for his relief, to the end that the fool
killer- neel have no causa to visit the
editorial fraternity in this State, and
thus bring reproach ou tho profession
where lesser examples in the 'commu
nity at large will do just as well to
keep the masses- of men in mediocre
bcuuds, and free from tho fatal blight
of egctisaa.
We iaadvei tantly copied an item from
theLiland Empire last week reflecting
on the character of tho contract Slessrs,
Ball & Piatt have at the Cascades Locks
and insinuating that they have eugaged
to do it too cheaply. The editor of the
Inland Empire is presumed to know as
much about what he is writing on such
a subject as a hog knows ol grace
and election," and-the whole matter is
as the subject is looked upon through
O. S. N. Co. spectacles, who have
chosen the "merry rooper" of the
1. E. to do their talking for them.
When it is known that Messors. Fall &
Piatt were only about 13,000 below in
their bid, the proposal of such safe
contractors as Hon. D. P. Thompson
and J. B. Montgomery, there need not
be much concern as to which, side the
bread of Messrs. B&U & Piatt is butter
ed. Those who " eat, drink and be
merry," are prone to put off the read
ing of the handwriting on the wall,
which-reveals their final overthrow.
In an article on the "drifts of immi
gration," the San Francisco Bulletin.
says, that nearly every day larger com
panies of immigrants are landed by the
overland trains at that city; and it says
that the drift of the present immi
gration is strongly towards Oregon.
Oregon is a moist country, and the
crops, rarely or never Tail. Land ia
reasonably cheap, and titles are gener
ally good. The purchaser at second
hand usually gets a warranty deed, a
form rarely nsed in California, even
where titles are well settled. The pur
chaser who has always been accustomed
to have his title warranted, cannot quite
understand why the warranty is with
held in California, and he naturally
looks "upon a title with some suspicion
from which the warranty is withheld."

The New Judiciary Law.
Y Salem, Nov. 4, 1878.
Er. Enterprise: A Southern Ore
gon ipaper commenting on the new ju
diciary law, indulges in some stric
turea upon newspaper correspondents,
why iinch a bill was never mentioned
nor norrced by them. A newspaper
correspondtnt, then, is an entity in our
system of pWitcal " economy. It is
most true thaithis judiciary law was
nurtured andycradled in secret, and
that jjf-tf&a not five days (including
Sn.iaday) from the time it saw the light
a$ day till it was in the Governor's
"hands for approval. But the Southern
Oregon interrogator should bear in
irind that newspaper correspondents, 4
above all other classes of men, require
the public moral support of the peo
ple. The press of the country has been
true to itself, as the reforms in the past
few years in both National and State
affairs most abundantly show. But has
the public done its duty? What says
the public of this? James K. Kelly
was a party in the attempt to steal an
electoral vote from tho people of Ore
gon, and what punishment has he re
vived' for it? been elevated to the
h exalted position in this State. If
in high places are to be rewarded
for their infamy, does it not look as if
the time for newspaper correspondents
to exercise their polity had about pass
