Indications of Coming War.
Jt would seem that Europe was
never more ripe for a straggle than at
be present tittf.' Prist! tts aU;
taloed ber aelre,T)Ut tfieTrench na- S
tioa with wonderful vitality has com' ;
menced to train the masses for the
ru'ure struggle, 'and has shown that ;
her cltisens, possess innsanse wealth
and are wllliat to" nse it to' mainuin
the national prestige. . As the history i
of tbe late war develops we learn that
France was outnumbered and ootgen-
eraled. Tht Germa forces were'nns
derrated hy tbe French, and the dis-
ciplioe of German armies was much ;
undervalued. o far th 1 coarege
of men was concerned tbe heroism of ;
the French droops-was never outdone,
Vat they fought egAinst greater disctp- .
line nd greatly superior generalship.
Tbe factf are realized and France is in
training to remedy defects and organ- ,
ize her war power with perfection. v..
.Prussia- positively ; auticlpates. an- j
other strnggK as soon as France can
take the Eeld and she maintains aa im
mense army and has so. soon com
menced to recoostrnct and improve
her whole war system.6"
Tbe complications increase with tbe
fact that England .eels chagrined at
the lost of her former prestige, and
that "Russia seems to have bee a on tbe
point of extending sid to the Empire
when it collapsed at Sedan. The pres
ent Action of Austria and Prussia man
ifest a Jealousy of the institutions of
Russia, - and no doubt tbe Eastern
question wili be tbe cause of tbe next
great European war ,
If any combinatins can be made' to
armonize'the interests of Rossi,
France and. Eaglod and extend the
power' of tbe firit named, we may ex
pect that atoacb greater, contest will
bo initiated than that which terminated
with the lata siege of Paris.
- Whenever that time cdmes v may
expect that the Auttriao and German
Empires will have to battle together
against Eastern and Westers 'Europe.
What part England will take wift de
pend upon tbe importance either side
will accord her." Sht watts to be tbe
easting voice - io deciding the. great
question of tbe balaoce of power, and
will be statis6ed witb that position.
Russia wants Constantinople and will
eventually obtain it. France wilL. no
longer object if she caa command be
place she formerly held and be re
venged on Prussia. Tears may elapse
before tbe nations prepare for this
coming contest and are-ready forkH,
bnt it will surely come, unless in tbe
meantime true 'republican principles
shall obtain and empires topple down
before tho popular will.. .Should
Europe ever become republican, apd
the interests of tbe masses be coo
sulledptbea we may hope for- the era
of conquest to cease and for peace to
i-tway the woria. . . ...
Correspondence-
itBAriB.pr JTBifS.
Ed. Statsshax I Allow me, through
tht columns of year piper, to make a
correction in regard to an article that
appeared in tbe Farmer concerning
FALL WHEAT. ., ,
About four weeks ago' I furnished
tbe Willamette Farmer a chapter of
items, and in that paper I, or the type
set'er, made a mistake in reference to
tbe yield of Fall beat this year ia tbe
Willamette valley. Where such wheat
was Well put io, in good ground, last
Pall; I said (or so it appeared) s
18 bushels,' when it should have been
28 bushels per acre. This last is tbe
true .and intended. ., As lb Statis
u as circnlates generally Where tbe
Farmer does, this may serve as a cor
rection. And now to the point: Tbe
farmers of tbis county are well for-
ward in cutting and securing- their
wbeat. . Pitts' header and y thresher
work admirable , "there" r Other ma
chines that dd well. The Fall wheat
is ' yielding extra,crops of superior ,
quality.- - H msy be invidious to name
ont certain farmers and keep silence of
others, but I must give names and
yields-of Faifwbat to some extent on
Howell Prarie the granary of old
Marion. And first in order comes tbav.

TBB EQUALIZES.
, In consequence of tht great faeili
ties for transportation to and from tb
States by- tht Uolon Pacifio and by
ships, no greater rates will b
paid ' for wheat here - than relative
prices elsewhere. California it cut
short for crops, but her gold will pro
cure for her breadttuffs and ftsdatl
fair prices. Crops In tbis State are a
fair average this year. There Is tvsry-

Corruption,
Th btst campaign in tbis State gave
tbt Demoeratid orators and papers
abundant opportunities, Which were
freely Improved to" charge nolimited
corruption npon the ootgoing adminis
tration. The charges have fallen dead
to far at tbey affected (be honor of tht
Republican party, and tht legislation
enacted during! tht years when they
. . . .-. '--" f ' - - . .
held power. No acts were passed for
the benefit of. speculators, do schemes
were laid to plunder the jTreasurj or
wastt th Stat bonds on swindling
preteossK,' tnch as were eaaeted at
soon' a Democrats obtained majority.
Tbe State Penitentiary was faithfully
conducted and tbt accounts ' of tbe
Treasurer examined and re-examined
to he found above suspicion. ' 1 . ,
The charges of fraud are being in
dustriously repeated at the : present
time by irresponsible agents, , sad so
far as they can bt substantiated ,tbty
amount.. to. an, accusation that . one
singlt.iBdividaaL ssada use of State
4aods and it a defaulter. -. . ? '
If.oar pponentS' -intend -to'ebargt
fraud on Abe party, and claim' that the
late Stat Board has been- gnihy of
premeditated defalcation let them' do
so: If they mean to insinuate that any
iodiridusl hat embezzled ' tbe State
funds let them say that, or let them
take the legal steps to prove tbe fact
and obtain redress. It is a little re
markable that during tht year since
they have been in power tbey have not
attempted to prove to vagoe-charges
continually made. - -
We propose to meet this matter
opeoly and freely, and therefore we
say to these men .who prefer insinua
tion to proofs call to to your ' Aid "the
law ; prosecute Secretary May upon
his bond and exact of bim and his se
curities whatever sums he has used
that belong to the State ; and to end
ih whole matter. - Understand dis
tinctly, from tbis moment, that tbe
Republicans as a party demand that
the rights pi tbe State shall bt pro
tected, and ' claims uo exemption
sbould you prove that an offense was
committed by av man'eleoted by our
VOtet. ; n,; '- ".
The facts seem to te that our op
ponents, if tbey have any ground for
accusation j prefer, to manipulate the
matter outside tbe courts, and to mag
nify in the columns of tbe newspapers
aext db tbe stamp what would dwin
dle down to a small affair before an ar
ray of facts ad figures. . Wet are not
prepared to sr that no defalcation ex
ists, neither do we receive their state
ments as published, lor we know that
tbey are false in part.' "It Is s co hard
ly, contemptible," but characteristic
thing for tbis Salem Ring to insinuate
what it dare not assert. We say again,
it any Republican" official owes the
State .prove the fact and collect tbe
money, or else atop the accusation.
Of course they will need such capital
to nse ia tbe next campaign which ia
not tar off, aad to show that tbey have
collected any deficiency by law would
Loot anil their .thievish tools so well as
to claim that one exists and place" it at
figures large enough to fill tbe Demo
cratic eye.
When the next campaign comes, in
stead of being assailants Ibis plunder
ing horde will be thrown upon tbe de
fensive and driven to tbe wall. They
will bear of corruption wherever Dem
ocracy can Uj their hands on aoylbiog
to steal. Mew York City and Califor
nia will be beld as examples, and. it
will be charged home upon thtsa, that
in their poor way tbey themselves
base plundered aad robbed tbe -State
of lands and money exactly to- tsa ex
tent tbey have bad opportunity to grab
and approprlat. - -
' Then make your accusations In ctB-
cial figures and prove them by ' coarse
of law as' soon as possible." Let ' ns
bear as little as convenient from socb
slobbering liars, and such natural born
falsifiers as tht JJcrcury ini ntrjrit
but coma op to tbe scratch use men,
do what is your duty in the premises,
or else own, that your miserable organs
are common liars. m J z

Sational Tliancet.
A fair estimate , of . tbe success -of
Grant's Administration and tht" pros
perity of our country ander It, may bo
gained; from understanding of our
patttoaat Goatees and the state of tht ' 1
public credits j.--- 'a i . -J ? ,J-X ;
From - tbt (time flntat succeeded
Johasoa redaction of the pablid debt '
hat been effected' to tho amount of
about one hundred mTIlioos per annum, '
or over eight millions per "month," tbe l
effect of w'llch'baslbeen ' t'o giyt our !
bonds a ILttJft. market-abroad. It has
been objected by many that 'tbe people !
were TJnaeeeesaxiiy : taxed to procure (
this red notion,' and that a'mort "pro- ;
dent policy wquld be to east the pub. i
lie burden and have Lth debt tper- I
manent investment., t, t- ( .i
. But it ia a BOtjeeablt fact that the !
public bnrdeat hare, bsaa greatly re-
.daced.-tbe iatainal revenqo has been
taken off many etaple articles - and tbe
Income tat decreased so that ao com
plaint can be made that the pfeseot
revinne system is In any sense a burden
upoa tfie toiling millions of tbt Amer
Icari people?. "" "7 - " V
- Yet the reduclloq Of1 the debt, con
tinaeS steadilyh'an3i one of the most
successful financial efforts of our- day
is this eolation -of tht problem as to
tbt ability of our -ntiqn; to handle a
large public debt t Tbt rtsutt Is hat
our. government it enabled to place Us
bonds in EaropeoaT markets At a lower
rate of interest. Tbs usual rate hs
been tlx pet cent per annum. It was
contemplated to reduce ibis debt to
practically become only four and a half
per cent. Interest hearing, by. dividing
it into three classes, tb. highest to be
only five per gent. , Tbe success of tbe
new loan it assured ; tho five per cent.
bonds havt been all taken, and in
England and oa tbe continent they are
quoted at small premium, and the
applications far exceed the amount of
fered. Take ibis in connection with
tbe fact that the best American rail
road bonds are selling io Europe at
from sixty to ninety cents on tbe dol
lar, offering six and sevea percent, in.
terest, and we oan onderstaod tbe high
appreciation the credit of the United
States hat lately gained abroad. ;
ii Wt may expect that tht ' whole na
tional debt,. two thousand mi'.lions,
will soon be placed at a rate of interest
not to exceed four and a half per cent,
per annum. , This will effect an annual
siring of thirty millions a year to the
National Treasury, and will be entirely
due to tbe fact that our Rational Fi
nance! are faithfully, honestly, and
economically administered ; that while
rasrally officials occasionally steal, as
tbey do in all countries and in all par
ties, tbe government Itself is honest
and capable. -
During the. months that the national
debt baa ben reamed two bondred and
fifty millions,, ohder Republican Ad
ministration, Us debt of the city of
New York (sat Increased from forty
to one hundred million, as tbe New
York Timet states, tinder Democratle
rule.; '"Jfow, when tht united "States
bonds bearing five per cent." inters st
we eagerly taken abroad at a premium,,
tbe bonds of tbn.city of New York,
bearing six or seven per ceut. are fori
bidden to be called on- change at
Frankfort, the great money mart bf
Europe, as tbey consider the present
rule of that city dishonest and dis
honored.' 1
"Democrats are. invited to ponder,
these facts, and asked to. form a fair,
judgment upon ihea.,;, , , . . :
'Cholepa;
, Almost every journal w take wp has
articles oa tbe cholera, and its threat-5
eaiog BpproAub marks each day's tele-'
grams received from Europe. ' It was
reported that' cast occurred lately In

to belleve'tbat such was actually the j
ca.' e It Is true that each season eases '
occur in all large cities .identified, in.

are generally .coler morhus As its
name indicates, tbe. dreaded cholera

among the- dense tnasseo wbo popu-'

At the present. time wa tear that a
terrible famine prevails In Persia, by "
which tbosaads And tent of thoetands
are perishing; and Persia is so remote
and so far inland' that H is impossible
to lend relief. Tbis state of things,

be tbe best safeguard from such danger!
It is an undoubted fact that cholera
has lately spread from Asia iuto Europe,

JSAsraora Fia.xs.-T-An-.ther terrilila Br
occurred last Monday evening near PixMing
river, about sixteen miles ...rib of fi
place. The fir was .coumunirated H- lb
farms of W. Wanrcll and E. B. Robinson
from a pile of brush which bad been fired
by Mr. Michafl npon his farm. ' K spread
very rapidly, giving Mr. Wansell but liltl
time t save eay ef bis furniture or goods,
which were all bow. ' His dwelling noose,
barn, smoke house, with all their eeatsnts,
facniiog implements aad fencing ware lost,
bet as to tb extent of daaaag doa to the
orchard, it canaot.be given U is feared
tbat it is entirely ruined. The loa to Mr.
W ., as estimated, amounts to over 12,000.
By dint of hard work and courage, the
ou'se of Mr. Robinson was saved by his
ife, be being absent from boms at the
time,' although she was burned very severe-
aad It is feared tho Injuries will prov.
fatal. 6inee writin g the above we hare been

RmoRS Ago Reports. For tbe week
past there have been rumors current that
tbe Peoples Transportation Company was
about to sell out. Some bad It tbat Ben
Holladay was te be tbe purchaser, while in
tbe months ef others it was Hutchinson,
Kohl A Co., owners of tb steamer Con-
i Unties, who were te become tbe steamboat
men of the Willamette. The. rumor ha
extended from Portland, where one of th
dailies gave it vague force, to the upper
country, and it is perhaps significant that
some wheat buyers lowered the offering
price for wheat to 90 cts, from $1 on ac
count of the possibility tbat freights might
bo put up aa a consequence of tbe talked of
transfer. As there is no eon firm at ion of the
reports and nothing is known at the office
of tbe P.' T. Co. bare to warrant them, it is
bart-Iy possible tbat they bave been origin
ated to give aa excuse for lowering the
price of wheat at points along the river.
Opera House. The Nathan Troupe
made their first appearance last evening to
a good bouse, which had an opportunity to
appreciate La Petite Marion in the part of
Andy Blake, probably one of the most ef

sodes which are dependent for effect npon
the rare talent displayed by tbe juvenile
artiste. She fully met tbe expectations en
tertained. Tbe programme for to-night is
also a good one aod no doubt the sueoees of
the first appearane will draw out good
bouses in the future. - .

Tbat Cobbeb Stosb. Seme months ago
tbe proper amount of dirt being dug away
and disposed of, tbe gallant workmen em
ployed at the new Penitentiary rasbed
furiously and selected a proper stone to
plant a tb corner ef tb grand edifioe
which, in future, is te become the homo bf
the retired criminal of oor State. S baits
stood by and wept tears ef joy as he real
ised what a grand home the future bad in
store for bim, and tbe rest of the brick
yard gang looked serious as they joined in
bis fervent contemplation. Very properly
and naturally it was, two earnest Republi
cans, Geo. Collins and Charley Bowker,
who fashioned that stone, and who, when
convict labor bad bono it to its place,
whirled their triumphant trowels high In
air and plastered tbe useful cement about it
to bind it in a fast embrace. They doabt
less appreciated tbe momentous nature of
the event, but they forgot to give aa the
item, aod we are not to blame tbat it gained
no greater notoriety. . It suddenly occurred
to tbe Building Committee, tb other day,
that they had not remembered to celebrate
et tbe time the important event referred to ;
so they called together ever so maay backs
full of the faithful to give it a rather tardy
meed of honor.,. Yesterday afternoon tbe
" better-late-than-never" affair came off.
There was champagne for those who could
get it, and beer fur common folks ; oysters
and dried apples, segars and mutton chop
whiskers did abound, and appetite therefor
was sharpened by listening to an oration
from Mr. Grover, who brought blushes to
Governor Watkinds' face and ears by al
luding o the various offences for which
offenders are usually put ia State prisons -sometimes
on a plea of guilty. The efforts
of His Excellency, Gov. L. F. Tatkioda,
and of Mr. Wm. H. Grover, served to make
the occasion a very interesting one, and we
lake plea sue in doing justice to their amia
