Tirfc OREGON STATESMAN; FRIDAY, AUGUST 13, 1886. TOPICS OF THE TIMES. Tub (uir will be a success. Tin next war with Mexico seerus to be ever. Congrkhh has adjourned, and the coun try is safe. All that in needed now to top off the general joy is an earthquake. What about that woolen mill ? Let tome one take a hand and put the move ment squarely on its feet. What will the New York Bun and C. A. Dana do for a candidate for the presi dency, now that Tilden in dead. Will Salem be outdone by AHtoria ? Her pride and fame forbid it. Make the firemen's tournament a success. What about that woolon mill? It would bo a Bucceas from the beginning. Let some one take hold of the enterprise. Aptkh all, that American editor in Mexican jail is not bored by people who want to tell liitu how to run a newspa per. Polk county has wheeled into lino, the pile driver in here, and the bridge is be ing built 1 Now wake up 1 Let's have a woolen mill. Tub president has signed the river and harbor bill. Oregon guts about a half a million, and fuels better than she did a few days ago. A wak with the United States would prove a very Cutting affair for Mexico. Portland World. Hero, Noltnor, don't; and right in this hot weather. Umatilla county, Oregon, is $54,(101.90 in debt. Compared witli these figures, Marion and Polk counties can congratu late themselves. They are out of debt. Tub story that a printer in a country office in New "York hanged himself with the office towel is duniud on the ground that the towel might have served to stab himself with, but us a rope, never. A coKMtTTKK in Illinoin hus awarded the prize to the homeliest man in the Union to James Whitcomb Riley. If our own Emperor had competed, Riley would net have had a vote. It is creeping into the minds of the peo -pie of the western portion of the country more and more every day that the presi dent and his advisers regard the Alle ghany mountains as the western boundary of the nation. Ex. Graham Glass Junior, the simple winded individual who is "editor" of the Dallas Itemizur, assails the Statesman in in a very puerile and idiotio manner this week. The Polk county court should ap point a nurse for Gluss. Wk seldom brag, but we stop right in the middle of our work in this hot weath ' w to inform the public that the subscrip tion lists for botn the Kaily and Weekly Statesman tire booming. Thanks, awful ly. They cuu't come too fust to suit us. Ph. MacDomald advises tho veterans against California wines and lipuors. Inasmuch as they got out of Muine alive last year, we think they can endure our .gentle tipple, but some one should put a danger signal over the lair of crab sulud. t. F. Alta. Evkky body is hereby respectfully in vited to come" to the state fair and see our electric lights, our new bridge in course of construction, besides many oth er uttructiuiiH in and about Salem, outside of whut they pay their money to see at the grounds. A hitcukh atNorwalk, Conn., entered his meat refrigerator and the self-locking door slammed behind him. The temper ature was at aero and no help near and he froze to death. This seems like going to ereat lengths to advertise somebody's refrigerator. Tiik 0. A C train from roints in west rn Oregon continues to arrive in Portland too late to make connect ion with the east bound train, and Hll mail from this see lion sleeps for twenty-four hours in that city. Let steps be taken to right this wrong, to correct this evil. IIokacr Gkkei.v knew the distinction between societ v and politics.- On one oc- -casion he was addressing a crowd on the Aubiect of the sult'ruge, and said, "If the rieht to vote were limited to men from whom I would be willing that my dauglv ter should choose a. husband, not one of you would vote." Tub death of 1 Jszt was due indirectly to the Wagmir festival at fiayruuth. The aeed pianist cume to the town ill and ill' listed upon being present at the festival. He cauuht a cold which resulted fatally, The enemies of Wagner will now have an other count in their indictment of tho "music of the future." Tub telegraph has flashed the wonder ful intelligence from Alaska that a "civil ized white child" has been born within its limits. This is the most wonderful thing on record, if true. A baby born civiliiod is a gieal curiosity the first of its kind. Ail young and fond parents would give ii nnuat deal to see it. Only five weeks more until the state (air opetis. What are you doing towards making it a success? Wake up! Get flomeluiug ready for exhibition in the pa vilion or elstivvhuro, and get ready to at tend ml see the best exhibition ever given in Urenon. You can all contribute something towards making it such. A Kansas paper wildly asks, "Are we going lo hell Y" Of course we can't Udl exactly at this distance just tho road a man is traveling, especially a Kausan, but we should be inclined to think thut if the republican majority is us large this (all as i. now promises to be the state is about as safe as it cun be made. Tub people of western Oregon ask that their appeal for simple justice be heard. They ask that their mail be put right through to the east, when it is start ed, instead of sleeping for twenty-four hours in the city of Portland. The evil can be easily remedied, and they ask that the proper authorities see to it that it is remedied. ' It cannot be said that the republicans of California have been remarkably fortunate in their selection of United States senator. Mr. A. P. Williams may be a great man in his own state, but can hardly be said to possess the national reputation to make him a compeer with the great men of the land. Beyond the (act that he is a chairman of the state republican committee, and has been more or less prominent in local politics, but little is known of him outside of his own " late. Portland News. Tub promised military history of the civil war from the jiens of Gens. Beaure gard and Longstreet is awaited with con; siderable interest in military circles'. The more histories the better. They will all be useful when the man, now a baby, or unborn, comes to write the real history of the great struggle. Ex. Editor Cutting has been found guilty of defamation of character by the Mexican court, and will be sentenced in a few days. This is the caseover which there has been such a hurrah all over the country. As congress has adjourned, and the president will soon be off on his vacation, it is probable that we will not have any wars with Mexico at least until fall. Prohibition in Rhode Island is the making of Fall river, Mass. All the pop ulation of little Khody resorts to Fall river for moisture, and any Sunday a smart burglar could go through the whole state, for nobody is at home. Last Bun day they fought in Fall river and all Rhode Island was chucked in the station house. The seventh congressional district of Texas has a peculiar taste in congress men. It elected Tom Ochiltree, who is cross-eyed. J lis successor, Mr. uram, is eross-eved and ho bent Rentfro who is also cross-eyed, whilo Judge Burkhardt, who wants to run tins fall, is also cross eyed. It is noteworthy that Ben Butler had several votes in that cross-eved dis trict. Remoion among the colored people of Texas is in danger of suppression. A judge of that state has put some colored Baptists under bonds to retrain from "shouting, screaming, jumping and yell ing in their religious worship." With this denial of all the precious privileges of the sanctuary, it is feared thut a black pall of heathenism will descend over the iexun negroes. Tub New York aldermen have issued an order that all Chinese laundry receipts muBt be written in English. Fancy the Salem council passing the same kind of ordinance, and imagine how much effect it would have about as much as a wood pecker on an iron teakettle and the pig tail is the same sort of a bird in New York as in Salem, which the same they will learn in time, sooner or luter. When a newspaper man gets in the current of luck he is irresistible, but when he is out of it he can't sell twenty-dollar gold pieces. John McLean ol the Uincin nati Enquirer is in the current up to his chin, lie bought an old graveyard near Washington, a few weeks ago, and has just been offered $75,000 for it. He re fuses to sell, which causes the suspicion that he needs it to bury his political vie tims. Tub first six months of 1886 has appar ently been quite disastrous to railroads. Seventeen of them have Issen sold under foreclosure in the United States, having an aggregate length of 0,192 miles. Their bonded indebtedness aggregated a hun dred and sixty-three millions and their Btock a hundred and twenty-eight mil lions. Those failures represent, however, the financial disasters of preceding years. Notwithstanding the strikes of thesprinp, the storms of the winter and the traffic wars thut have been waged this season, there is a perceptible improvement in earnings over those of '8f. Somk people have queer ideas of fun. There was a rare humor for instance in the act of the young lady who recently threw from a yacht at sea a bottle with information corked up in it to the effect that all on board, names given, were about to jerish. Her surrounding ad mirers must have laughed heartily at it as one of the best jokes they ever heard of. The bottle hopiwned to reach a lo cality where it caused great consterna tion. But, as the joke would not have amounted to anything if it had not been for this, the perpetrator doubtless con gratulates herself on the successful ter mination of her effort. Bomb interesting and wonderful feats of journalism are now beiug displayed by the Nan Francisco papers, during the Grand Army celebration. In- it Monday's edition the Chronicle published a com plete illustrated history of the war, that would moke 450 pages of an octavo vol ume, and it is one of the best histories of the causes that led on to the conflict and the decisive buttles and campaigns ever condensed in that space, based as it is upon all the histories before written, and the war papers that have appeared from time to time. The Chronicle is, without a doubt, in many respects, one of the greatest newspapers in America. Tub state board of immigration is all right, and Oregon can afford to give $5000 per year to advertise her resources and induce immigration. 8be can well afford to give twice this amount ; but what the Btatkkman gave currency to was a ru mor that Mr. C. B. Carlisle, secretary of the state board of immigration, is not do ing the square tiling by this section of Oregon. That is the impression that hus got out, and many good, conscientious people honestly believe that it. is founded ujK)u fuct. If it is, the Btatkkman wants a new deal as soon as possible, and if it is not founded upon fuct, it wants to give Mr. Carlisle a chance to vindicate him self. A very appropriate preliminary step towards this vindication would be the sending of a few immigrants into this section of Oregon. Mu. Wm. DtNBAR, general agent for Oregon flouring mills, at Baleru, has re cently made a trip over the Canadian Pa- cihc, as far east as Winnipeg, looking af ter business. British Columbia has been a large consumer of Oregon flour and Mr. Dunbar has been looking after the threat ened invasion of this territory by the ex perimental shipments of flour from Cana dian points along the line of the road Mr. Dunbar is satisfied that with the present freight rates over the railroad Portland's trade with British Columbia will not be disturbed, since Portland now emovsa minimum fn-i.'ht ruto. which nn ables her to pay the five dollars a ton duty and still hold the field. The question arises right here, why should not Tacoaia be able to secure as low rates for flour to points down the sound us is given to Or egon millers, with one hundred und fifty five miles of railroad transportation in fa vor ol this city f lacoma News. As the following has apjieared in near ly every nnwsnanur in Oregon and Wnnh- ington in the last month it would seem as though it about expressed a general fuel ing of don'tcareitiveness on the part of the guild : "Alter you get on your ear and make np your mind to stop your paper to liumihat-e the editor, lust poke your fin ger into water and then pull it out and look for the hole. Then you will see bow- badly you are missed. The man who thinks a paper cannot survive without his support ought to go off and stay awhile. When he comes back he will find half his friends didn't know he was gone ; the other half didn't keep any ac count of his movement's whatever. You will probably find some things in the home paper you cannot endorse. If you were to stop your paper and call the edi tor all sorts of ugly names, the paper would still be published and you would sneak around and borrow a copy. It is much better to keep your vest pulled down and your subscription paid up in advance." Robust Health Is not always enjoyed by those who seem to posses it. The taint of corrupted blued may be secretly undermining the constitution. ! n time, the poison will ceo tainly show it effect, and with all the more virulence the longer it has been allowed to permeate the system. Each pimple, sty, boil, skin disorder and aense of unnatural lassitude, or languor, in one of Nature's wuruiugs of the consequence of neglect. Ayer's Sarsaparilla Is the only remedy that can be relied upon, in all cases, to eradicate the taint of hered itary disease unci llie special corruption of the blood. It is tlio only alterative tltut is sufficiently powerful to thoroughly cleanse the system of Scrofulous au-1 Mercurial iinpic ities aud the pollution of Contagious Diseases.

Numerous cruile mixtures are offered to the public an "blood purifiers." which ouly allure the patient with the pretense of many cheap doses, and with which it is folly to experiment while disease is steadily be coming more deep-seated and difficult of cure.
