About Corruption.
"We cheerfWly defer to the Demo
cratic party a to lull and explicit In
formation about "official corruption,"
for they have experience on their side,
and history, from the time of Swarte
voort to the downfall of Tammany,
confirms our position that what they
don't know about official stealings is
not worth knowing. If they would
only confine their treatment of the sub
ject to the wide realms of their own
personal knowledge, we would defer
greatly to their wisdom, which would
be imeqnaled, for it could only be
cquled by their opportunity, and the
American people know they have been
fully equal to every opportunity in that
line ever offerd them.
But in these days Democracy ro
mances worse than Gulliver, brags
worse than Falstaff, and lies worse-
well, equal to the Father of Lies him
self. Of late we read in Democratic
journals of nothing but "corruption,
and they fairly outdo the pot which
called the kettle black. We do not
deny that there is and always has been
room for reform In government affairs,
but It is remarkable tlmt evils were
bred and not corrected in the long
rule which Democracy boasts having
enjoyed tlie previous years of our na
tional history.
Leaving the past to bury its dead,
we will examine wherein Democracy
has earned tne right and privilege to
lecture upon morality and take the
field as an apostle of reform.
Xew York has lately been purified
to some extent, and how ? Tlie history
of the late election and Republican
victory, and the careers of Jim Fisk,
Boss Tweed, and the corruption bred
in the nation can best explain the
meaning.
Coming to this coast, we see that tlie
people of California having endured
Democracy for four years, have arisen
and overwhelmed it and now are stud
ying at practical and needed reforms
under a Republican State Government
and Legislature. But we can make
our reasoning more cogent and our
application more forcible by bringing
this matter directly home to our own
people in connection with Democratic
administration and corruption In our
own State.
It must be patent to everybody that
at the election In 1870 the Democracy
instituted wholesale frauds, aud spared
no effort or money necessary to cor
rupt the elections, 8 years before tltey
introduced iuto Our State the demoral
ization of iinortatiou of voters and
purchase of votes. One of the chief
agents of this corruption, who was in
duced to spend his money largely by
promise of official reward, now fills tlie
position of State Prison Superintend
ent, to give him opportunity to make
back the money so exiiended. ' Does
any reasonable man think tiiat office
earned by corruption can be filled hon
orably or honestly? Doubt must give
place to certainty in all honest minds,
and aud to talk of corruption sounds
like mockery from a party that pays a
premium for its exercise. .
Again, here in Oregon we never had
under Republican rule legislation as
corrupt as that which secured the pas
sage of the Swamp T.aud Act ; as that
which gave to a few party favorites a
preference of $75,000, in tlie construc
tion of tlie Canal & Locks : as that
which, contrary to the Constitution and
in disregard of all precedent, added
$5,000 to salaries of State officers ; as
that which organized a system of pub
lic plunder in the shape of a litigant
bill to subsidize a few starving party
organs, and keep the breath of life in
their partisan literature. When these
illustrations have been well digested
we will furnish more.
In the List Senatorial election, the
use of money to corrupt DemoiTatie
members carried the da-, and we were
assured by a Democratic State Senator
that two of liis party representatives
proved false to their pledges and to the
interests of their section upon receiving
bribes of $2,000 each. It is charged
and we have not seen it denied that
Kelly's election cost him $30,000 as
much as he made by being inside the
Canal and Lock's Ring,
Xow, when Democracy wants to talk
about corruption, let tliem take tlie
half dozen topics furnished above as
texts, and elucidate them first, Prove
that as corrupt a policy was ever pur
sued by the Republican party, and you
can carry tlie day next June, and not
unless.
Beauties of Htlirnnt Printing.
We have a forcible illustration at
hand of the way the litigant printing
act works and bow much its extortion
benefits Democratic newspapers. We
cannot, of course, speak exactly as to
the business of another journal, but we
can approximate to an estimate by
what we know In general of advertis
ing, and as the journal we refer to has
its ordinary rates of advertising stand
ing displayed in its columns.
The Mercury is a litigant organ "
and has one column full of legal adver
tising and at least ten more columns of
other kinds of advertising, and we
make tlie assertion that tlie charges for
tiiat one column of litigant . work are
equal to tlie other ten. It may vary a
trifle, may be mom than the other ten
columns, In fact, but we make the as
sertion that one column of litigant ad
vertising brings in as much money, or
nearly as much, as ten columns of
ordluary advertising in that paper
We make tlie further assertion that
tlie litigant printing, at tlie rates fixed
by law, costs the public double what
was tlie customary price charged by
Salem papers before tlie litigant law
passed, and we learn that the same
was true of the Oregonia. Now here
Is a pretty party to talk about corrup
tion and to preach honesty, which not
, only gives all tlie legal printing to its
and own party organ so keeps it alive,
but puts a law in force to double rates
that we before tlie imt profitable of all
to newspapers, and so steals here In Ma-
rlon county Hilly a thousand dollars
per minimi from tlie public; actually
legalizes and enforces robbery, to ben
efit those newspapers. The proof of
this can be furnished by tlie fee books
of our courts and by testimony of law
yers officers of courts and those who
settle estates. We wait now to re
ceive nailmitlv the next homily in
favor oi honesty and against corrup
tion.
A country nedaeosrie had two pupils.
to ono of" whom Ims was partial, and
to tlie other severe. One morning it
liappeued that these two Doys were

for it. "You roust have heard tlie

"Please, Slr,?f said the favorite, "I

Revolution In Mexico.
There docs not seem to be any rea
son why our "Sister Republic" should
continue to be convulsed by revolu
tion, or why the Government of Jua
rez should not be accepted as calcula
ted to dcvelope tlie country and insure
peace and prosperity. The fault is
most evident in the people and the in
stitutions of the country, not in the
country itself, which possesses every
element of prosperity, save a popula
tion educated so secure and enjoy it.
Brigandism is natural to Mexico, as
history has continually demonstrated.
The people are superstitious, indolent,
ignorant, and given to passing pleas
ures. Tlie Integrity of the men and
the virtue of a great portion of tlie
women, give no guarantee of capacity
for self government. Ambitious men
have their own ends to gain by revo
lution, and the people relish the ex
citement of these forays and follow
the lead of Juarez to-day, and of
those who seek his overthrow to-mor
row. What Mexico needs is a Gov
ernment. Her. people have not the
capacity to Insure it, and the conse
quence is that we sec anarchy and
revolution only varying as the kali-
dalscope clianges, forming new and
never ending combinations but never
advancing beyond tlie crude material
or which tlicsc combinations are
made.
At the preent time Mexico looks to
the United States, and a strong feeling
in favor of annexation is expressed
there by many of the better classes,
who freely express the opinion that
the United States cm alone insure
peace to Mexico. As to annexation
we have not the least desire for it,
Kieh as .Mexico is in all the re
sources of nature; great as she can
become under a benificent rnle, a cen
tury of time can hardly bring her
people up to a realization of what
government should be, and fit them
by educatiop and experience to possess
and enjoy it. We even believe that
the worst possible curse which could
befall the United States would be to
annex the tropical islands of tlie West
Indies and the territory of Mexico,
and give the half civilized population
adjoining us on the south, a voice on
equal terms in our National Govern
ment, and liberty to imitate revolu
tions at our expense.
That it may lie our duty, as well as
our Interest, to assume some control or
proctectorate over these lauds should
it be the wish of the people who In
habit them, we believe may be possi
ble as well as to secure their prosperity
and to iudentify the interests of the
North American States, but we cannot
afford to make our nationality less
homogeneous than it is by the intro
duction of the mixed races and igno
rant people, whose indolence and ig
norance has been promoted by the
tropical luxuriance, which makes it
possible to live without labor and so
shuts off the greatest inducement for
mental development.
Mexico is in a lamentable condition,
for at the very time when she seems to
have earned aud secured peace, she Ls
receding Into political chaos and re
sorting to civil Rtrife and unmeaning
revolution. It would be a mercy, per
haps for us to offer some assistance
in helping them to true government
and practical liberty. Our limits have
spread south as far as onr safety re
quires. We need peace on our bord
ers, which is emlangered by the fre
quent raids of Mexican brigands over
the line to depredate on American
citizens but whatever is done let there
be only amity between Mexico and
the United States without any thought
of annexation.
Scurrilous Journalism.
The Albany Democrat publishes and
the Herald copies with infinite gusto,
an attack on the late State Officials,
and in course of comments which ap
pear to be based on our late statement
th.it E. N.Cooke, late State Treasur
er, is intending to build a handsome
family residence, it says : " Woods,
May and Cooke are synonymous for
Incompetency, Thieving and Rascali
ty of the very worst type." The at
tack is directly made on Mr. Cooke,
late State Treasurer, that he "ac
cumulated an enormous fortune " by
use of money belonging to the State.
The foulness and mendacity of this
charge against Mr. Cooke is best sus
tained by the 'acts of two successive
Democratic Legislatures the last one
having met since Mr. Cooke's term of
office expired and each of which ap
pointed a Committee of Investigation
to examine charges made against him,
and each of which made a report which
was accepted almost unanimously by
each House, in which they not merely
discredited these cliarges of malfea
sance In office, but went to the length
ot giving Mr. Cooke a very , handsome
and most unexpected endorsement as
to the faithful and honorable discharge
of his official duties. The Committee
appointed to audit and allow the sus
pended accounts also made thorough
examination of the official transactions
of the late Treasurer and they also
found no complaint against him, 'but
here comes a pitiful scribbler who
makes irresponsible charges and the
party papers copy them. It is false
tiiat Mr. Cooke ever borrowed or used
himself one dollar of the State money,
or that lie allowed others to use it.
lie actually borrowed large sums and
paid a heavy interest account in bis
private business during the time this
money was in his safe, and the only
persons who had the use of any part of
It was the Democratic banking House
of Ladd & Tilton, Portland, to whom
the taxes of several northern counties
were paid, and remained on deposit
Mr. Cooke's word Is good for tlie facts
stated, and no honorable man will
doubt it, especially as a close inquisi
tion has elicited no proof to the con
trary.
Now as to the profits of the office
of State Treasurer, Mr. Cooke only
received $800 per annum for his four
years of service, though tlie hearty en
dorsement of those two successive
Democratic Legislatures shonld I
counted as of some value. What did
the first Democratic Legislature con
vened after the State officers were of
that persuasin do? Why, they passed
an act to srive the State Treasurer an
Assistant with fees equal to from $3,-
000 to $5,000 per annjimv when tlie
office Is easy work for one man and the
Constitution HmiU the salary to $800
. per annum.
If the Treasmrship opens the door
to a fortune, as the Democrat IntI
mates w"r 8teal a percentage from
tlie people to swell tlie enormity of tlie
profits? This we hope, completely
settles tlie cliarges against tlie ex-
Treasurer, but we shall liave more to
say soon about the corrupt manner in
which the last f iCgislature raised the
salaries of State officers contrary to the
Constitution.
The charges against Mr. May are the
'subject of 'legal investigation and he
stands ready to answer them, much to
the disgust of our friends who sent to
bring him hitlier. AVe have to say In
regard to what is said about Gov.
Woods that lie never was at any time
custodian of a single dollar of State
money. We defy his maligners to go
to the State officials and get them to
assert that any proof whatever lias
come to their knowledge that Woods
ever knew of any defalcation which is
cliarged to May, much less that he
ever handled or wrongfully used a sin
gle dollar that belonged to the State.
His great crime was that he rode to
visit the State Penitentiary, unite
Grovcr seems to think lie " iegs one '
every time he goes afoot.
Now, the worst of this business is
that such a howl is leing made about
any residences lieing built by State
officials that Grovcr will never gain the
courajre to build himself a handsome
house for ten years to come. He is
hesitating by nature, and tliese things
are sure to retard any chances that
may ever arise for the strengthening of
his spinal column.
Potatok. Some time ago our local,
tormented, no doubt, at having to pay
$1 50 per bushel for California pota
toes, wondered why Oregon farmers
don't raise them in quantities to suit,
and ventured to say so. This indis
cretion on his part brought to this of
fice yesterday an indignant, profane
and not over choice epistle from " A
Farmer," who lost his potatoes by the
drought last summer, and seems to
have lost his patience for the mention
of it this winter. Really, though, why
don't this Irate " Farmer " cultivate a
garden, if passible, where It can be ir
rigated In dry seasons? Perhaps he
cannot, but a great many cm, and
would make money by so doing. At
the present time, tens of thousands of
dollars arc being sent to California to
buy potatoes. Tliey raise them by ir
rigation there with much worse seas
ons than we have, and Iiave plenty to
sell to us. Yon see the point, don't
you? We can raise potatoes as well as
tlicv can.
As We Expected.
The Democratic papers of this State
are all finding it a happy thing to copy
the Fanner's Swamp IjukI treatise,
which we took occasion to criticise the
other day. This confirms the opinion
we then entertained that the piece had
a certain paternity and was written
for a certain object. Has the Salem
Ring two organs here ? The question
is interesting. We know that it lately
purctiased one at a high price and em
ploys its own editor to write up the
Ring interests and as they are in quite
a strait at present it may not be im
possible that they have uevelopeu a
taste for agriculture in connection with
Swamp Lands.

The Milk Escutcheon in Cows.
Puchnewala, Ridgeway. Iowa, asks:
I. What is meant by tlie milk es
cutcheon in cows ? 2. Is it to be re
lied on as a mark of a future milker?"
The milk escutcheon is that part of
the hind quarters ot t he cow on and
about the udder 011 which the hair
grows upward. Its boundaries are
defined by a qnlrl, where the upward
growing liair meets the down growing.
Sometimes it occupies only a little
more than Hie udder itself, while in
other eases it readies well out. on to
the thighs, and runs up several inches
wide, quite to the setting on of tlie
tail. Sometimes it lies onlv on one
side of the vulva, and again on both
sides. Occasionally it U cut square
across half way tin, and again is
rounded at the top. Its form cm
usually 1h seen at a glance. Its fu
ture extent and shape can generally
be dearly determined on close examin
ation in even wry young calves. Tlie
escutcheon, is iuite generally regarded
asa valuable indication of theoiemrity
of the milk and of the duration ot tlie
flow; while the softness of tlie dp
growing hair, the yellowness of the
skin, and the amount of dandruff pro
duced, are taken as indications ot the
richness of the milk. inn ton. a

From tSattirday's Daily.
The Cuemeketa Trouble. Yesterday
the State Penitentiary laid claim to what
there wan left of the fixtures of the Chemeke1
ta Hotel, the i-Ire um stances being that two of
the stockholders, both abundantly responsi
ble, were signers of a note for about five
thousand dollars, given for brick used In the
building. They had security given them on
a lot of blankets and table furniture costing
about fi,0UO. Tills they yesterday gave up to
be disposed of to reduce Indebtedness
and the Superintendent of the State Prison
h:nl the same hauled away ami stored oppo
site. The State will not lose anything by this
matter, as it holds the- note of good men for
the whole amount. Another matter lately
talked of In relation totlio L'liemekett Hotel
business In the Portland paers deserves a
mention. The State hud a claim against the
Oregon Iron Works, and the Oregon Iron
Work furnished material tor tlie hotel, and
a turn wits made, as the Bulletin suites, and
the Hotel Comjany gave the Statea mortgage
on a Commercial street lot, where the big
stable now stands. The aniout duo the State
ls alxmt ,000, more, proliably, than the lot
is uow worth, but the Secretary of State In
forms us that the State ls entirely secure and
has the note of responsible private individu
als as the lasts of the mortgage.
We can't see that the affair is regular, but
It might le worse. As to the value of the lot,
11 probably cost the Coiniwny (-2,500 and ls
enlianccd some in value by the location of
tlie hotel. Mr. Myers informed us that he
paid t"i,0U0 for the Brewery lot, on the oppo
site corner of the same side of the street.
Toslay Is tho day when the time fin- redemp
tion on tlie mechanics' liens and first mort
gage expires and we learn that no effort for
redemption Is probably and the title to the
property will undoubtedly vest In Ladd A
Bush, who hold the claims alluded to. We
are positively Informed that as soon as the
title permanently vests In them they will
proceed to re-furnish the hotel and make It
in all resin-eta equal to the intention of Us
originators. It is to be hojied, and we believe
such will be the case, and that as soon as pos
sible it will be again In oisjratlon nnder the
same poptilar management as before. The
whole imbroglio has been unfortunate, and we
are in disposed to charge fault upon auy of
those heretofore interested, for If Its affairs
have been mismanaged they are all heavily
losers thereby.
List IN THE Wtiol. Many pleasure
have their draw backs and among the num
ber is the pleasure of "going a skating."
Wc are informed that on Thursday after
noon, two of the teachers of our public
schools closed early, formed their scholars
Into line and started for the Ice pond below
town. Our Informant tells us Dial they
reached the ice safely and a general good
time was had. It appear tiiat they were
not content with skating where multitudes
before tuein had skated, so they resolved to
explore the regin thereabouts In the hope of
finding a new Held of ice. This they found,
and they all skated and skated until the
shades of night drove them from the pond.
Too late to retrace their steps over the
roundabjut way which they liad come, they
determined to make a straight shoot for
town ; but In doing so, they got lost in tlie
woods, and as night was coming on, they
knew not which way to go. The fear of be
ing lost so excited the little folks a hun
dred of "em that the neighboring woods
were made to sing with tlieir affrighted
shouts. This had the effect to call to their
assistance a wood chopper who was on Ills
way home, and by htm this juvenile band
was piloted safely through the thicket to tlie
highway that leads lo town. They got lock
home all right and fell back upon the con
solation afforded them by the old adage,
"All Is well that ends well."
Shot At. We learn from Mr. Lewis, who
drives to Dallas, that Wednesday evening
last, as Mr. (ioodwin, a bachelor who has
lived alone for nearly twenty years ist on
bis farm, three or four mile- northwest of
Kola, was sitting by his lire, a shot was fired
through the window at him, Ibe bullet just
missing his head ami passing through the op
posite window. The curtains were not down
at the time. It Is supposed to liave been a
rille ball. Mr. (ioodwin is a very quiet and
respectable citizen and uo reason is known
to exist for any 111 will. As he is comfort
ably fixed U Is not Impossible that soma vil
lain susH-cts him of having money on the
premises, though there Is little foundation f r
such a suspicion.

Item we encountered yesterday, was Dr. J.

of Washington Territory, awl w hose perils in
cluded "moving accidents by flood and
Held."' He was over at Olympla, and made a
kind passage to Moiiticcllo, and we only wish
wc could give the facts as he gave them to us,
but our isiwers of Illustration nre more
limited in several respects than our friend,
the divtor's. He say a life preserver Is
necessary to travel on the X. I. K. It., awl
he lutdn'l any, so he waited tediously for
a bout. Then tlie tprtng beds they have over
there consist of a bundle of luiel brush and
a ialr of blankets. In short the trip, as he
told it, was better to hear of than endure.
Mns. t'AKKiK r. You so. We had the
pleasure of listening to a portion of tlie lec

our opinion is lluit It was the best, temis-r-ancc

Mas- Carbie T. Young. The audledce
at the Congregational church was immensely
larger last night than on the evening pre
vious. So much so that all could not obtain
goats, thereby caing many to listen standing.
The Introductory remarks we thought rather
scattering, and not possessing any particular
relevancy to the temperance question, still
they made up a very nice little story, which
was listened to, no doubt, with pleasure. Her
apieal on behalf of the temperance cause was
one of the strongest character and abounded
in arguments unanswerable. Sho showed
clearly the inconsistency of some of the laws
on our statute books by comiKurlng the re
sults of their violation. To steal a horse Ls a
crime and Is so considered In the eyes ofthe
law but for a mau to steal from his fellows,
tlui't brains, laelr very souls, that ;o.Mike
element Implanted in tlieir natures, is couslii
ered a legitimate business, and lscomiairn
tively unrestricted 119 iow. She stated
lluit in our statute books, were laws for the
protection ofthe birds Una sing, the fishes of
the deep, and ttK lasts or the forest, but not
a line of law to protect human souls from be
ing destroyed by the demon of tne iwl. iter
denunciation of saloon keeper was of the
strongest kind, and thought that to steal a
man's brain, his ability to make money, was
infinitely more criminal than the stealing of
money Itself. She also made an earnest ai
peal to the ladies, as they were the ones most
deeply interested, to do all In their power,
ami that was great if they would but use It, to
stay the evils of Intemperance, esiiecially as
fur as tlie young men are concerned. We
bavent room to report farther, and can only
say that her lecture, an hour and a half in
length, was Itatcned to throughout with
marked attention. We canni but think that
her labors In Marlon county and in the State,
will result in much good to the eansc of tem
perance. She will spend several weeks lec
turing m this county, and wherever she goes
we bespeak for lier a large audience.
BUfLDiSO fob 1874. Salem lias not made
as rapid advances as Portland and we do
not claim equal advantages and certainly
there is no cause for Jealousy. We are not
a commercial emporium, but wo are bound, to
be considerable of a place and the coining
year will sue improvements made to add
greatly to our appearance and importance as
a city, and they will be Improvements tlie city
will not outgrow in the next lmiiceuiui).
The Court House will lie commenced, which
may necessitate the expenditure of about fifty
thousand dollars. The Methodist Church
will be completed, which will give us one of
the handsomest church buildings in the State.
The Agricultural Manufacturing Works will
be completed, and not only add a handsome
edifice to our city but gtve us an additional
lever to insure future prosperity. The new
Academy of tlie Sacred Heart will be a struc
ture 50x120 leet, three stories ulxive the base
ment aud built substantially of brick. The
prosect also is that Commercial street will
lose several bunches or wooden stores, ami
gain handsome brick blocks Instead. These
will be buildings of a public or business na
ture, and besides these we know tlmt many
hnudsom private residences are to bo erected
and the prosiiect Is that our mechanics will
have plenty to do ami times be good here for
all classes of citizens.
The Skating Mania. Tlie ice was
" glib " enough yesterilay to please most, and
most everybody took a turn at being pleased.
The skatlsts took the field in force, towards
the north of the slongh and some of them got
wet. Nothing dangerous happened, but coin
slderable laughter occurred at the expense of
the unfortunate. A case of conjugal affection
deserves mention. The Ice gave way under
the feet of a fair dame, married not overlong,
and remembering tiiat he was to stick to her
through thick and through thin, the husbaud
went through the thin l-e to plant himself by
her side. They were only waist deep In mud
ami waier and scrambled out easily. The
scenes of tho day w liould work up excellent
ly In sketches by a proper artist, ami the
sport was line.
A bit of a Jok K. Oil Tlmrsilay night last,
a polk-eman discovered at a very late hiur a
couple of horses hitched to a post, and think
ing that their owners were probably on a
"spree," he removed the horses to one of our
livery stables, where they were; well led and
eared for. They In-longed to a couple of gen
tlemen living in the count ry, one a Methodist
preacher, who liad come to town to attend a
certain Lodge. On the fid lowing morning
search was liistliuto I for tlie lost hor-Os,
which, when found, were enjoying a breakfast
of oats. Tlie stable keeper demanded of each
ofthe )artles a dollar for his ains, which in
got, and then delivered up the property.

A short time since he filled a large order for a

A Cold Bath. Yestenlay several young
men found a new skating pond on the island,
and thought they had a good thing all to them
selves. There was a weak sot In the k-e,
however, over which Mr. John Scriln-r at
tempted to skate, and in so doing, fell
through awl got a complete soaking. The
matter came near bei ng serious, as the water
was deeH and the Ice ivit being strong enough
to bt-ar his weight, lie had to remain in the
water until pole was got by which he was
hauled out. He thinks he was in the water
full fifteen minutes, and says it was the cold
est bath he ever took.

Wrestling Joe. Of late there was
a notable arrival in town, to-wit : the
veritable Joe, surnamed the Wrestler,
supposed to be the father of Finiee
Caruthers, deceased, whose property
lias become a bone of contention be
tween rival claimants. Messrs. W. C.
Johnson and Judge Waite, as attorneys
for these contestants, are also in town,
for the purpose of taking testimony in
tlie case of persons residing here.
Wrestling Joe has a broken-down, di
lapidateu look, as well becomes a hu
man life spent in rough and reckless
experience on the frontiers and among
tlie Indians. This same life of his 1
crawling snrely toward tlie hundred
mile post, tor lie is nearly as old as tlw
Fourth of July, though not so well
preserved. He is said to be 93 years of
age, and looks as if he might as well
be an hundred and fifty. He partially
fulfills the proverb : " It'g a wise sou
that knows his own fether."

were brought down the river yester

Why is it ? On last Sunday night
at one of the churches In the city, a
lare number of individuals siezed
their hats and made for the door, just
at the moment tlie choir started to sing
the doxology, and before the verse was
concluded about half the congregation
had retired. The closing exercises of
religious worship are intended to be
the most solemn part of the service,
out wnere such interruption is prac
ticed tlie solemnity is greatly destroyed.
we would suggest to those persons
who are so anxious to get out of church
in advance ot every body else, to wait
at least until the doxology is sung and
tiie beneuictiou pronounced.
Morvr Hoop smokes. Smoking
cannot lie cliarged as a very common
habit upon Mount Hood. We liave
seen the old ltieuntain when dense
black smoke poured only for a lialf an
hour or so out of tlie south-west side
about half a mile below the summit
and those who liave ascended it inform
us that there is where the seat of war
is located, where they smelled sulphur
and walked over hot "stones. We saw
this . one clear, cloudless, winter
day about eight years ago, but tlie
Portland folks, according to the Herald,
thought they saw it smoking on Satur
day. So did some persons hen;, but
they don't tlvo a clear nivount of tlie
indications. Mists are often mistaken
for smoke in that connection.
Tins is the Time. This is the time
to be setting out fruit trees and sliade
trees, and there, are lots of people liere
in Salem who liave utd ot both. Send
to the Woodbiiru Nursery for tliem
and set theiu out in time to get a good
start. This is also the time to trim
and prune fruit trees and all sorts ot
vines and bushes. Wait a month lon
ger and your graie vines will bleed. o
don't wait. This is the time to lie
clearing off yards and gardens, fixing
up fences anil gnte and getting ready
to do work. Those who liegiu now to
prepare for spring, take time by the
forelock and are that much better oil".
Duval's Inos Va;os Whkh..
Hie-hard Duval, of this county, lias re
ceived a letter from Senator Corix-tt
announcing that a patent will issue for
his improvement on Wagon Wheels of
which we have made frequent men

from the Commissioners Ot patents
to the effect that the patent is allowed
and will be immediately forwarded on
Mr. Duval's complying with the law.
He feels under many obligation to
Senator t'orliett for the interest he dis
played in the matter, as there was a
conflict on some parts of the inven
tion which dclavcd for some time the
decision of the ease, and the effort of '
Mr. CortH'tt were enlisted hi secur

I'ajr Your Preachers.
If a man is fit to preach, he U worth
wage. If lie is worth wage, he
should be paid with all the business
regularity that lie is demanded and
enforced in business life. There is no
man in the community who works
liardcr for tlie money he receives tlian
the faithful minister. There Ls no man
in whose work the community is
interested to whom regular wages
that shall not cost him a thought, are
so important. If what jHxsible use in

a sense of s-cial obligation to any-
Ixxlw lie tan preach the truth with
frrcdoiii. and prepare for his public
ministration without distraction
Nothing more cruel to a pastor, or
more disastrous to his work, can lie
done than to force tqsHi him a feeling
ot'dein-tidciav iiikmi the charities ot his
flix-k. i'lic oil ice of such a man does
not rt' in dignity above tiiat ot'a
ciMtrt-f-Kil. He is the creature oftlie
popular whim, and tlie preacher with
out influence to those who do not re
siect him or his otlice sttlllciciitly to
iay him the wages due to a man who
devotes his lite to them. .Manliness
cannot live in such a man, except it lie
in torture a torture endured simply
because there are others who depend
upon tlie charites doled out of nun.
Good manly pastors and preachers do
not want gilts : they want wages. It
is not a kindness to eke out instillicient
salaries bv
donation liarties, and hv
lieiietactiotis from the richer meinlH-rs of
a Hock. It is not a merit as thev seem
to reirani it. for narishes or individn-
at to do this. It is an ackhowledgt
incut of indebtedness which they tire
too mean to pav in a business way.
Tlie pastor needs it anil they owe it,
but they titke to themselves the credit
of benefactors and place him in an
awkwartl and a false position. The
influence of thi state of things upon
the world that lies outside of the splivre
of Christian ts-liefand aetivit ly is bad
lieyond calculating. We have liad
enough of the iati-onae of Christianity
by a iialf-scotling. halt-tolerated world.
If Christians do not. sutticienly recog
nize the legitimacy ofthe pastor's call
ing to render him fully his just wages,
and to assist him to maintain his man
ly independence betore the world, they
must not blame the world for looking
upon him with a contempt that forbids
approach and precludes influence.
The world will lie quite ready to take
the pastor at the valuation of his
friend, aud the religion he teaches at
the price its professors are willing to
pay in a business way, for its ministry.
