THANKSGIVING I'KOCLAMATION. 8tati or Orkgon, Exxcmvi PipirisT. Haush, November Sin, ltt,$ In accordance with a custom established by our forefathers of setting apart one day in the year in remembrance ol the blessings vouch safed by the Divine Ruler, and in conformity with the recommendation of the president of the United States, I hereby designate Thursday, November ath, as a day of praise and thanksgiving, and recommend that upon that day the people ef the state desiit from their us ual avocations, and repair to their respective places of worship, and give thsnks to the Ruler of the Universe for the blessings of the past I would further recommend, as a fitting observ ance of the day, that out of our abundance we remember the poor and destitute emoug us, and that by deeds of mercy and charity, we snake it an occasion of comfort and happiness to them. Witness my hand and the great seal of the state of Oregon hereto attached this 9th day of November, A. D., Ik. Z. F. MOOBY. By the governor: Governor. . P. EA.RHART. Secretary of Suue. This seems to be an off year for tariff tinkers. The New York Monument fund for Gen eral Grant, increased one dollar daring October. Cove to think about it, there is not xnnch occasion for pyrotechnics by either party this year. All the big spans of the bridge are swinging. Let's see: Didn't we tell you some time since that the bridge would be built? Chicago, grown jealous of Duluth, "the zenith city of the nnsalted seas," now calls herself "the vortex city of the won derful West." What a constant source of distress it must be to Brother Blaine, on his way back to Maine, after a pious pilgrimage to the home of his infancy, to hear noisy citizens popping np every few minutes and shouting, "Three cheers for our next Kepublican candidate for President !" X. Y. Sun. That was a cruel remark made by some one when a woman suffragist complained of the design of the statue of liberty. She said "The idea of having the statue of a woman reprsent liberty in a country where women are not free '." The name less person said that he didn't Bee how the woman suffragist could find fault, for the mouth of the great statue is a yard wide! Ax Indiana man named Thompson vis ited a cemetery, as he announced in ad vance, to spit upon the grave of a person whom he disliked. He was flattered when a crowd gathered to witness his act of vengeance. When he had exhausted his saliva, the audience tied him to a tree ' and forty-two-Hoosier tobacco-chewers circled around him and spit in his face until he resembled an office holder's cus pidor. It is said that Govern er-elect Pennoyer has received 4,039 letters, since higelee ion, asking his influence to secure the writers positions. Clerk of the board of school commissioners is the most sought after. Xext follows superintend- ent and warden of the penitentiary and superintendent of the insane asvlum! Like Abraham Lincoln the governor says he don't think he will have much influ ence with the incoming administration Portland Mercury. The color line is so closely drawn at Little Bock, Arkansas that no colored person is allowed to take meals at pub- bhc hotels. A jury with one colored man among the rest, was sent to a leading ho tel there for dinner the other day. and the colored juror was refused admission. It was only after a great deal of difficulty and delay that the jury could be accomo dated with a meal altogether, which was necessary, as they could not be separated while they had the case under considera tion. It takes a long time to wear off the square corners of unreasoning prejudice. Nowhere in the length and breadth of the land can a considerable number of voters make such consummate asses of themselvesas in California. This is shown by several thousand thrown for O'Donnell for governor, a so-called workingmen's candidate. He has been for years a pro fessional abortionist, and a medical "specialist," with the worst that that term can possibly imply. He is a veri table Jack Cade, a ranting buffoon, an ignorant demagogue of the lowest type, and says an exchange even if you raked hell to try to find his match, and withal a murderer in his time as disgraceful, depraved and contemptible a knave as ever the gracious Lord allowed sunlight nd air te be defiled by. PORTLAND AKD HER FITCH K. Editor Statesman : Selfishness has always been a prominent feature of hu man nature, and often a predominant one. This fact has not often been more plainly shown than in the jealousy and snarling disposition exhibited towards Portland by the people of almost the entire state, and especially the fanning community. It occurs to me that considering the im mense wealth that has for a score of years been at the command of the business men of this city, they have been slack in using it towards the proper development of the country, yet this fact remains that they have done just as any other set of rich men would have done under the cir cumstances. But the circumstances have changed, as a result of this rapidly changing con dition of our industrial affairs, and the time is rapidly approaching when this wealth must seek other avenues of em ployment than the banks and brokers' offices. Portland, it seems to me, is be ginning to do its duty, and I trust may be wise enough to follow the laudable ex ample of the immortal Jim Bludsoe, "Who seen his duty a dead sure thing, ABaweni writ, tnar aud then." But whether our older settlers will ever reach that point where they can calmly dismiss their early prejudice against it remains to be seen. From what I have heard of the retro grade movement of business matters in our metropolis, 1 had expected to see it a miserable victim of that commercial in activity which forecasts "the certain de cay of all earthly greatness." Sixteen months had elapsed since my last visit here, and I must confess that, for a city which had seen its best days and was on a rapid decline, it exhibits a wonderful vitality in its death struggle. Stripped of all unnecessary verbiage, the fact remains that there is to-day more business and bustle and move and "racket" in Portland than I ever saw before. To me indeed it seems wonderful, and confirms as a fact in my mind what has always been a mere lurking suspicion, that neither this gener ation nor the one to come, will see a city on the north Pacific coast, that will Bur pass it in population, business or wealth. And one of the greatest factors, and perhaps the greatest, with other things combined, that promises this expectation, is the confidence which its own people generally have in its future success and permanency. An extended stroll around the limits of the city to-day reveals the fact that in every direction private dwell ings are being erected, many of a costly nature a circumstance which always indicates present business prosperity and hopeful promises for the future. . An hour was spent this forenoon in watching the unloading of freight from the "State of California." When this process began the mammoth warehouse was absolutely empty; but a visit to the scene this afternoon revealed the fact that piles and piles of freight of every description from & box of pills to a steam engine had been stacked into an indescri- bable jam from one end of the warehouse to the other, covering somewhere near a half-section of land certainly enough merchandise to fill every establishment in Salem from cellar to garret, and still it came from the bowels of the enormous vessel, like the violent expurgation of a hideous monster. While I was yet reveling in a state of Bingie blessedness and did mv own cook ing, I concluded one day to have rice for dinner. I thought I needed a quart of rice sol put that much in a quart cup and poured some hot water over it and set it on the stove. It soon became evident that I had put too much rice in the can, so I took out a saucer full. In a few min utes it became necessary to take out an other saucer full. A further disposition to get above its business necessitated the calling into requisition of a milk pan, and and then a wash tub, and when that quart of rice was finally done, I had enough rice left to iupply all the neighbors in that township for three months. I don't know what the people of this town will do with ail the freight from that steamship, for, though scores of drays and trucks are constantly hauling it away, as I go to press, it still comes piling out in endless quantities that threaten a per feet inundation of bales and barrels and boxes. (At least that is the way it seen, to a granger from the Waldo hills.) The business streets of Portland are more than crowded from daylight till after dark with teams of all descriptions moving freight, building material, etc., and I bear no complaint of idle men seek ing employment. The activity in busi ness circles and the improvement in times generally which characterize the Willamette valley, and Salem in particu lar, are felt and noticed in Portland in a ten-fold ratio. And this augurs well for the farming element of our population, for the thousands of men I have seen to day on the wharves and in the mills and factories are all consumers, and therefore business friends ef thefarmere. A dozen consumers of agricultural products at home are worth more to us than three dozen in New York. Our consumers are all in the cities, and since we want more consumers, we must have more cities active, bustling, prosperous cities. As Portland and our other cities grow in I pulation ar.d wealth, so will advance the agricultural interests of the Willa mette valley, and, as a modest farmer, I take great pleasure in testifying to the hopeful future that seems to await the metropolis of the northwest. T. T. G. i Portland, Oa., Nov. 8. ! COMING WHERE THE LAXD IS. It is an interesting fact tliat the sales and preemptions of government land du ring the last fiscal year were Uie largest ever known. The official statement from the Land Office gives the total number of acres thus disosed of for the year ending June 30 at 18,300,942. In 1S70 the tak ings were 8,439,457 acres ; in 1880, 8,000 000 and in 1S85, 16,033,341. To give a clearer idea of the extent of the settlements last year the Financial Chronicle says the 18,031,942 acres actual ly entered upon "represent an area al most as large as the state of Maine, and greater than the combined area of New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island." During the last four years the takings of public land, irrespec tive of large sales by the railroads, foot up to the enormous aggregate of nearly 70,000,000 acres. This proves that the people who are really land hungry are satisfying that hunger by coming where the land is, and where they can obtain it practically as a free gift. The New York World appeals to sensible workingmen if this is not more rational than to wait in that crowded metropolis for a division of the few remaining vacant lots on Fifth avenue or for the confiscation of the land of the rich and poor alike by a system of sequestrating taxation ? Let the followers of Henry George come out west and each take up a homestead, and if they are industrious and thrifty they will have little time to brood over the mistaken idea that there should be no ownership in land, and that it is a crime to own property, especiallv when it costs nothing but a residence and good faith, when it is given as a free will offering by the government, and the homeless invited and given an opportunity to build uji homes for themselves and hew out heri tages for posterity. NOT SO. Editor Statesman : Salem does not want a Sundav train. No man who obevs the command "Six days shaltthou labor' wants to disregard the injunction upon work on the seventh. Only the unhappy man who has leisure all the week to amuse himself with "the mails of the world" or who worships mammon so de votedly six days that he doesn't know what to do with himself Sundav while his neighbors worship God, will object to let the active business man and laborer en joy his blessed rest of one day in seven. Let the weary, travel worn railroad man, from the conductor to the train bovs spend one day at home. Don't take seven days' work for six days' pay, but let there be "rest for the weary," for every tired hand and heart, here and on the road, that one Sunday train would set in motion. Wait until to-morrow for your mail. Thirty years ago. you waited a month for what now clears the continent in a week ; "what hath God wrought in those years." Spend an hour Sundays in reviewing their blessings to yourself, and let those who must work six davs rest on the Beventh. That is an interesting decision of the Supreme court, published in another col umn, where it is declared that after a hus band fails in business, and turns the bu siness over to his wife, and works for her himself, and the business is successful that the wife cannot be responsible for the debts of the husband ; that the hus band has the right to work for whomsc ever he pleases, and for no compensation whatever, if he desires. The law in a case like this is just in some instances, while in others it is not. It encourages dishonest debtors to turn over their busi ness to their wives, and thus escape the payment of their just debts. In the case of a drunken, dissolute husband, it is a jnst law. But there is no law that does not work a hardship in some cases. Laws must be general to a considerable extent in their nature. We can't have a law for every case, for no two cases were ever ex actly alike. In the case of the law in question the wife is allowed privileges that the husband is denied. A man is always responsible for his wife's debts. Mr. I). 8. K. Bi'ick, who has been traveling about the western states for sev eral mouths in charge of the Oregon ex hibit car, returned yesterday, having left his exhibits at St. Paul in the hands of the Northern Pacific railroad people, who will make it a feature of their permanent exhibit. Mr. Buick says that the car at tracted thousands of visitors and that all were delighted. He thinks that it has been the means of securing a large num ber of people for settlement in this state. Experience has demonstrated that this is the best and cheapest way of advertis ing. The exhibit has the force of an object lesson, and it gue among the class of peo ple desirable as immigrants. Another car ought to be seut next year. The legisla ture will be asked to make a suitable appropriation. Oregonian. Thkre is talk in San Francisco of start ing a new daily paper to "run out" the Chronicle. The scheme is not a novel one. It has been tried before and often. But after they have sunk a few hundred ihouaandsof dollars in the experiment, and see the Chronicle still in business at the old stand, and paying better than a bank, then they will realize that it is a very foolish thing to try to butt down a stone wall with their heads. The wall can stand it. ARE WE TO LOSE ITT It is not pleasant to reflect that there is a wriouB doubt as to whether the people of this city will ever profit by the late Samuel J. Tilden 'b benevolent intentions towards them. The Court of Appeals last week rendered a judgment in the case of a will by which the executors were left certain discretionary jKiwcrs with rwjiect to the disposition of a secial fund of $100,000, and the bequest was declared invalid on account of the indefinitenees of the trust. The principle at stake in this case, it is asserted, is the same as that iu the case of Mr. Tilden, and the decis ion has greatly strengthened the hopes of the legal heirs, who intend if they can, to break his will. The testator, the clause of whose will was set aside by the courts, was the late Mr. Samuel Willets, a careful business man who left an estate of several millions through a will drawn up by a lawyer of excellent reputation. In fact lawyers draw up almost all the wills which are broken by legal proceedings. If it trans pires that so cautious and sagacious a man as Mr. Tilden could notsafely dispose of his property bv bequest the question may well be raised as to who can. But the consideration which affects the com munity most in the present instance ia the prospect of losing an institution which would be a great boon to the public and honor to ths city. New York World THE HITIATION AT COKVALLIS. It aptears that the danger at Corvallia from a change in the channel of the Wil lamette river ia more serious than it was supposed to be. The Chronicle reports that Major Jones sent an engineer from his office to investigate the matter last week, when it was found tliut the river had been making considerable inroads, and that the east bank just below the farmer's ferry had been so washed out that it is doubtful if the breach can lie re paired without a great expense. From a thorough study of the land, the engineer thought the best plan probably would be to change the main channel of the river into the old course formerly occupied by it which would be about a mile to the west of the present channel. He was of the opinion this would be the cheapest plan, though he was not prepared to give this as a decisive decision. The whole matter will be submitted to Major Jones and some course undoubtedly determined on at an early date. One serious obstacle in the way of remedy is the fact that there is not sufficient appropriation to carry on the work. The Chronicle suggests that the attention of our representatives in congress be called to this subject by a memorial signed by all the taxpayers of Benton county, and that private subscrip tions, if necessary, be enlisted to aid the work. DO Vol' KKMEMKKft. Let's see. Just after the Oregon State election, when Grover Cleveland was informed of the fact that a democratic governor bad been elected, didn't he remark that this was the first ripple of the wave that would sweep the country, or something to this effect ? Didn't be chuckle and congratulate himself that this was an endorsement of the double-breasted reform policy of the administration, when the issues were as foreign to anything of the kind as the most fluent imagination could conjecture? "Yes?" Well, wonder by what mode of reason ing, by what rules of logic Mr. Cleveland will construe the results of Tuesday's elections to mean an endorsement of his line of action, of his double-distilled pol- cy of reform that does not relorm, of that fraud called civil service reform ? It appears to us, at this great distance, that that silver-crested wave of endorse ment that started out here in Oregon has bumped up against something solid, has been punctuated, or something, and it don't look as it did when it was first bom on the edge of the political sea away out here in the "westmost west." PLEA l'Olt A HI NO A V MAIL. EuiTor Statesmas: Among Salem's wants is a Sunday mail. The mails come to Portland from all over the world every day of the week. They come to Ashland also every day of the week, and at both these places they rest for twenty-four hours on Sunday. All the Willamette, Umpqua and Rogue river valleys, with the exception of the above named places, are without a Sunday mail. There is no reason why our mail facilities should be less than those of the rest of the country, and no reason why the mails of the world should stop one day in seven at Ashland and Portland. SENSIBLE ACTION. The republican central committee has acted in a sensible manner in calling a convention to make nominations for city officers a full week before the election. This will give the people a chance to en quire the qualifications, fitness and claims of the candidates, and it will keep bad material off the ticket and questionable methods out of the primaries and conven tions. We all want a "square shake" and a good ticket; no machine business; no boodle; no foolishness. Now is the time to announce yourselves. Don't wait until the procession has moved on and left you. OUR SATURDAY NIGHT. Editor Statesman .The earthquake in the south has retired from business on the installment plan, the elections are over, and the country is again side, The colored troops fit nobly, and gave that democratic majority in the lower bouse an awful sick and lonesome look. Had the administration spread on the civil service reform policy a little thicker it would have covered up clear out of sight the democratic majority, and put it in a hopeless state of innocuous desuetude, and there would have been nothing left of it but a had smell. It looks as if this administration will go howling down the corridors of history unendorsed. It has had its weather eye cocked on the torch light procession of current events all along, looking for something that would pass muster as an endorsement, but it has not yet showed up. They tried to adopt the result of the Oregon election as a kind of orphan endorsement, but some one rung the chestnut bell on them, and they decided that it was a false alarm. Cleve land has been endorsed by the Folsorn family and Dan Lamont, but the balance of the sixty millions of people in this land of the free and home of the brave, and insane asylum of the oppressed of all na tions, have thus far withhold their en dorsements, or kept them closely buttoned up under their vests, and their vests well pulled down. If Cleveland will have the courage to work the words innocuous dos uteude into his next public documnt they will be appreciated and understood by this great North American public There is nothing like illustrating things by living examples. There is now no one with the hardihood to deny that Cleve land has got permanently stuck in the political mire of innocuous desuetude, and he ib stuck faster than an emigrant wag on in the Southern Oregon black mud in the winter time. Did you ever liBten to a telephone con versation ? No. Then you should. Y'ou would be sur prised at how much is given away every day bv the "central office" of a telephone circuit, even in u little city like Salem. For instance, listen to the following con versation. Ting-a-ling-ling. "Hello!" "Hello, Watcherwant !" "Give me the state house !" "All ready. Boll." Thus the great state hoiiHe that has cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, is giv en away fifty times a day, as is the asylum, the penitentiary aud other institutions, public and private. I want to mingle my voice with the le gion of others that are clamoring for a big blow-out when the bridge is complet ed. Let us dedicate it to the free use of the public with impomng ceremonies, and take this method of publishing to the world a hearty welcome to visit our beau tiful city, impressing upon their uiindB the fact that we are proud of the enter prise that furnishes theni better facilities to come and see us, and that the payment of our taxes that provide the means for the grand work is one of our most pleasant dutie3. We feel a just and pardonable pride in our city and all its institutions, and all its evidences of thrift and enterprise, and we are not ashamed of it, and we want every one to know that we are not asham ed of it. Let us emulate the big celehra bration in New York city, on the 28th inst., the event of the unveiling of the proud statue of liberty. As this grand pedestal stands at the gateway of our na tion and welcomes in the myriads of mankind from all lands, so let our bridge stand as a welcome to all visitors to our city of peace and plenty. Ned. H. Pell. A IKIKNl) OF OKISGO.N. Jehu Baker, the man who, contrary to most exjiectations, beat Morrison for con gress in the Eighteenth Illinois district, is a brother-in-law of T. B. Wait, of Salem. He married Mr. Wait's oldest sister. Mr. Baker is one of the ablest men of this country, and he has had eximrience in this capacity before, besides having had service in the consular department. What is more, he is a great friend of Oregon and the Pacific coast. He is a friend of the Panama canal scheme, and all other en terprises affecting our interests, and will be of service to us in the high coun cils ef the nation. Ex-President Hayes once remarked that Mr. Baker is possess ed of one of the brightest minds of Amer ica, and there is no wonder that he heat Morrison, the great tariff tinker.
