The Chicago Journal of Commerce quotes "Iig Iron" Eenner, as having said that, according to the tides of business 1886 and 1887 were to witness the begin ning of the biggest boom the world ever saw. Looking around, it appears that 'Tig Iron" was a successful prophet. From Maine to California, and from .K.ey est to uie straits ot t uca comes reports of wonderful activity in all finan cial and industrial circles. Take first, the railroads. It is had from reliable authority that not a ton oi first class rails can now be contracted for t any of the principal steel mills in the country, nor will the mills take contracts lor light sections. The total capacity of the Bessemer steel rail mills is taken to next October, and many railroads will have to use second class rails in building There are now but very few rolling mills shot down, and they are only waiting to secure competent and trustworthy labor. Since November last, contracts for steel rails" to be delivered during this year have been made forever 1,730,000 tons, exclu sive of many smaller lots. xnis indicates a Doom in railroad con struction. The states of Indiana, Ohio, and many -others are becoming alive with the first principles of manufacture cheap fuel Throughout the west industrial develop ment is going on. In all departments of -digging in the earth, utilizing water pow er, harnessing the elements, and the more economical making of the raw material into manufactures, the whole countrv is alive. This indieaies an industrial, and manu facturing boom. In all kinds of mining, there has not been such activity and interest since the early days of California and Nevada, This mining boom extends throughout the union. The interest in the gold, sil ver, copper, coal, lead and iron of the Rocky mountains, and Northern Pacific coast districts was never so alive and act ive ; along Lake Superior, there is great brkkness ; Oregon is awakening rapidly te the wealth of her mineral deposits, and much is being done towards developing them. This is also a good sign of a healthy basin ess condition of the country. Go all through the south and west, and wide-awake, prompt and diligent atten tion is being paid to all things respecting finance. The producer is the person now feeling the boom. In general business with professional men, middlemen of the lay fer.ls dull and uninteresting. The boom has not struck there yet ; lor this is producing country, and every person needs to'see that he is producing some--thing, in order to feel the strength of the movement. It certainly can be said with out fear of contradiction, that the Ameri can producer is in better condition to-day, : than he has been for many years. That j person who is only a consumer and who j creates nothing, will probably not realize the condition of things, except that, per haps, he may find his actual living ex penses in a measure increased, by the higher prices that are sure to follow in creased demand. T I .1 . i ... u jricr, mere is a Doom, ana it 18 getting a good start in Oregon. Real es tate is easier sale than formerly , and there is more call for it. The wealth of the country is being increased daily by the arrival of a desirable class of immiirrants They are coming to Salem, every day, and many of them are locating in this section. The boom is coming, and the immigrant is the "boomer." The old song is now revised to read inusly: "Hark, hark, the dogs do bark. The boomers are coming to town ; Some in rags, some in tags, But most in velvet gowns." Lahostt is a very handy man for Presi dent Cleveland. Were it not for this "man Friday," Cleveland would no doubt be continually making awful ."breaks," that would bring the ridicule and disgust of the people npon him. When the pres ident 's opinion is asked, Mr. Lamont an swers in polite, bat evasive terms, and the inquirer is left almost, if not quite as intelligent upon the point as he was be fore. This was the success that a com mittee had which went to iearn the presi dent'a opinion upon coercion. Since be has been married, no doubt, the presi dent has very positive views on the sub ject of coercion, but he discreet! v keeps them o himwtf. There is being more interest taken in this cry now. than there has ben before for several years. The transfers are in crease every day, and good prices are Jid. KASTKK. In the reaction from an excess of holy days we are liable to go further in an opposite extreme than is profitable. As Anglo-Saxon christians, we must ac knowledge the Roman Catholic church as, at least, our great-grandmother, and' we claim a Bhare in her wealth of tradi tion and legend of which our knowledge is not willing to he defrauded. Because shortsighted fouls are always prone to make a holy-day of more im portance than the thought typified in it. we ought not to be too ready to put aside day and thought alike, as of no value. We may, as our Puritan ancestors did, rebel against the rules of the earlier church, or we may ignore without protest all her feasts and feast days ; yet we can not escape the Lenten thrall of winter It is as if the Over-ruling Power, seeing the prodigality of harvest time, institutes a season oi quiet and abstinence: the sorrows and deprivations of this world thus typified form a basis upon which we build our hopes of a better life. The feasts and gift giving of Christmas must needs be, and are fittingly followed by the seclusion and fasting of Lent. The asceticism of Lent culminates on Good Fridav. all the bitterness of the world's wrong-doing, all the grief and shame of disappointed hope are sym bolised in the ceremonies oi its observ ance. From the earliest days of the Christian era, devout souls have found a Bolemn satisfaction in recalling to mind all the tragic memories of the day. The scenes of the crucifixion are read for scripture lessons, but in early times an image of the dead Christ upon a crucifix, was borne around the altar in the churches amid doleful chants and piteous sobs. With the strongest demonstrations of grief the image was wept over, kissed and finally buried, and the grave covered with greea sprays and flowers. Later on there were some pleasant ceremonies introduced to soften the hard sadness. One of these was the blessing of rings by the king and their distribution among the people as infallible cures for cramp. The faith in the efficacy of these cramp- rings was strong and very general.' Is our faith in patent medicine a remnant of this older belief? Here and there an austere soul would fain fill the whole year with the spirit of Lent, but a vast majority welcome the coming o( .taster. It was a happy, a true inspiration that put Easter in the spring-tune, when even the dullest souls are stirred to new thought and hope by the miracles wrought before their eyes. Some sense of the subtle, infinite power that makes such vast preparation for the oncoming summer is born in every heart Newspaper men scoff at the crude efforts poesy makes to express these percep tions. Nevertheless we all feel an in terest in the work going on. Its wonder ful extent and inconceivable (except after being seen) results achieved stimu late imagination and all that Easter sig nifies is the legitimate outgrowth of the season. The general use of eers has a like explanation. The fact that a flying singing creature is evolved from an egg is felt to be a token of hope to us. We eat our eggs on Easter morning, and. in the strength derived therefrom we look for ward into the hopeful future. The spring- tine, uie, paooain, me i-aster services are all symbols pointing to a new life Happy the soul that shall receive the poer to iracsmuze uie aDtinuant ma terial into personal qualities of charity, pur;ty, and joy. Modes of observance change, but the needs in human life that called them lorm are always prevalent. It is notice able that while dissenters often ignore Lent the custom of observing Easter is almost universaL It is well called the "Queen of Festivals." While we wait for the full realization of all our hopes, we accept the omens of the day and teoder our kindly Easter greetings to all. TIPPOU" STrtE. Tippoo Tip, the nomadic African poten tate, seems to be a man of buainese. quite capable of making bis way in the world. With a large band of armed Arabs he meets a well equipped exploring expedi tion and i informs the leader that he is prepared either to fight r to be employ ed. The result is that he is invariably employed and doubtless gets a good sala ry for his services. Henry M. Stanley acted with his usual sagacity in chousing to employ Tippoo rather than fight hi:u. The expiorer was wise, also, in honoring the swarthy chieftian with titular dignity and making Lim governor-genera! of Stanley Falls without first putting him through the ordeal of a competitive exam ination. Tippoo was strongly endorsed by ten thousand armed followers and was appointed without formality or delay. It is needle to add that he is in a condition to indulge freely in offensive partisanship without fear of losing his official head. The powerful help of Governor-General Tip will enable Mr. Stanley to march through the African wilderness without serious interference from wiid and hostile tribes. A kecest report of the National Civi Service Reform League com plains that tliere is not civil service reform enough about the present administration .especial ly in the poxtothce and interior depart ments. We leave it to ten thousand dis appointed democrats if here is not a chance for argument. AJfXa SLAVE HRAEIL. TRADE IN Some years ago Brazil began to free her s'aves under a plan of gradual, compen sated, emancipation. Much opposition was encountered and the enemies of the movement have been able to hamper and neutralize legislation on the subject. The emperor is believed to favor aboli tion under proper conditions of time and manner, but lately he lias been charg with reactionary tendencies, though well informed men claim that he merely questions the wisdom of certain details of the plans of the emancipationists. iheAtrican slave trade has been stop ped, but there are still alxmt 1,200,000 slaves in the empire, and under the pres ent laws freedom comes to them slowly Voluntary emancipation, under individ ual and associative auspices, has far out Btnpped governmental methods. The history of that movement is a remarka ble record of liberal and enlightened ac tion by a people, in a country and under conditions oaturallv unfavorable to the proposed reform. There remains, how ever, a large and compact body of slave holders who strenuously resist change by both legal and illegal means. Not con tent with blocking legislation, thev avoi and often defy its operation. In the more remote districts of the great empire the laws regarding emancipation are ofte aulost a dead letter. The blacks arc ut terly ignorant of their rights, aid their masters profit thereby. If recent ad vices are true these unscrupulous man owners not only hold by force and fraud those whom the law has loosed, but hav inaugurated an active Biave traue to in crease their holdings. The consul-gen era! of Columbia at Lima intorms bis government that Brazilian man-hunters are drivings brisk business by capturing Indians living in the wild regions along the course or the Napo, Futuniayo and other atliuents of the Amazon, and sell ing them into siaverv to the Brazilian planters. The chief of this nefariou traffic is said to be a Brazilian, or Portu guese, who runs a steam launch, flying the Brazilian flag, in pursuit of his prey Under these circumstances emancipation is likely to prove a slow operation. It is to the discredit of the good faith of the Brazilian government that this slave trade should be permitted on waters open to steam navigation and frequented by ves sels engaged in legitimate trade. RtllGlOlS HOUDAIS, A New York dispatch, which refers to the usual contention there over the ob servance of Good Friday, opens the ques tion, often debated but never settled, re garding all religious holidays in America The telegram stated that Episcopalians Soman Catholics and Israelites unite in desiring the suspension of trade, but the Puritan element protests against it upon the ground that, while thev do not ob ject to other people keeping the fast, they do object to being obliged, against their wishes, to follow their example. In a country like this, where there is no national religion and no possible connec tion between church and state, there is no valid argument that can be adduced in favor of making anv day a religious holi day by operation of law. In fact, to do so is certainly to violate the spirit of the federal constitution and to forcibly im press sectarian views upon those who nei ther profeea them nor are in sympathy w ith them. There is no more legal rea son why Good Friday should be a legal holiday because the Episcopalians ob serve it than why Saturday should be be cause the orthodox Hebrews and the Seventh Bay Adventists keep it as a holy dav. If the United States is to remain a coun try where all religions or no reunion are all on the same legal footing, there can consistently be no legislation which sha;l give any preference to one sect or creed or church over an v other. Even iniidav. which is universally a legal holiday, is such not because oi its religious observ ances, bat because ex perience has shown that at least one day's rest in seven is nec essary, and s great majority of people agree upon the first day of. the week for that purpose. But in its religious aspect the modern sentiment is decidedly against enforcing its observance in any special wgv or at ail. lieligion is not and cannot be a thing prescribed or regulated by statutory en actment. True religion presupposes a state of feeling purely esoteric, and which i not subject to legislation. Like moral ity, it cannot be created bv law, nor does it depend for its existence upon statute. It exist, if it exists at all, independent of human laws or human regulations, and finds its rea-on for its being in hopes and aspirations which are a thing apart from all mundane considerations, and which neither aknor need any human agencies to tm'uit them. In Uie outward nianueKtations and ob servant. of true religion the same thing holds true. A holiday is observed not be cause the state has prescribed a cessa tion from active business, but because such ootiervance is held to be a duty and a mark of respect for soaie basic principle upon which such religion rests. Viewed in this light it most result that the compulsory suspension of business and the creation by the state of a religi ous holiday, is iUogic.il uai inconsistent with the idea of entire religio-js freedom which has ever len the Iwas of the American republic. SLAVKKT PROHIBITION, F.nrroa Statkhman : My objection to prohibition enactments is based upon their demoralising effect upou society. This may seem strange to some but it is true nevertheless. lrohibition in its aims is an impossible agent. Men are creatures of their surroundings almost wholly, and especially with the young. A young man, if within the temptation and influence of liquor at fiiteen years of age and continues the use of it, will never re form, that is not one in a hundred will stop its use. But if a young man does not know what liquor is until he is past his majority, when his habits are really fixed, he may quit and reiorm at anv time with apparent ease. Men are equal ly susceptible in a moral point of view If methods are used in business that are not lugitamate and that business will be pursued law or no law, against it, there will be found those who will transact it Men will yield to temptation to make money or for situations, especially where there is little probability of detection The careful reader discovers prohibition has not closed the mouths of drinkers liquors, nor has it deprived them of their beverage. There are lying and stealing done to get it. And there aie thousands of men engaged in these indirect methods The Bcller with a lie in his mouth has one equally demoralized " who receives the whisky in this wav. We know of a case in point that will illustrate others. gentleman travelling through a prohibi tory state on a railroad stopped tor din ner. He wanted a bottle of liquor and asked the landlord for it. He was told that it could not be had, that it was nut kept in the hotel. After a few moments the traveller pressed his inquiry and in suited that he must hare a bottle of liquor. The landlord related his falsehood, but began to size up the passenger who want ed a drink, and asked if he was a pa-wen ger on the train and was going on. The -jiassenger told the landlord that be was to leave with the train, then he was told to wait a moment and the landlord ar Ieared with a disguised bottle of whisky, received his pay for it, and the passenger boarded his train with a poorer opinion of the landlord than he had of the whisky This is but one case in thousands where falsehood is resorted to in thexe cases. Then the deception practiced, the stealthy mode of procuring and delivering whiBky all have their influence on character Manv men seek emplovtuent in these places, and they too, must be adroit in the essentials that make up the liar and thief. The regular customers are no better. Let these methods run throuL-h generation after generation, and what will such a race become? Children will be liorn to deceive, they will reverence nothing. And a lower standard of mor als will prevail wherever the customs of the people induce it. There is nothing in either the promises of prohibition or its workings that are a benefit. It is ini- possioie to prevent the saie and manu facture and sale of liquor. No sensible man will deny this, which, if true, im plies a demand no law can check. Of all drinkers the most to be abhorred are those who dodge about, deceive and de base themselves to get their drams. Pro hibition does not prevent drinking; it only drives men into dark and low ways to eet that w hich they will have as against law. Do we want to have this opinion of Oregonians? lk we want to realize that to the misfortune of drink ing we must add a class of law breakers, liars and men of thievish instincts ? What sort of a public sentiment would that lie? Who could respect a law that really pro duced a greater evil on man than that it intended to remove? Public sentiment to be effective must be broad, open and gen erous, bo the hardest heart mav he reached. Put the liquor license high enough and public sentiment will do the balance. A public sentiment upon this subject that is not allocked by tlie crimi nal methods used to evade the Liw gov erning it will domore for temperance than ail the deceptive prohibition traps set in the world that can be sprung by the simplest mind. Give us a sound religious sentiment, a healthful and generous pub ic opinion supplemented with a license demanded by this condition of things.and temperance and honesty will go hand in and to their work. Let us not becomes race of sneaks, nor allow any among us. We must not rob truth of its beauty by saying that the manufacture of liquor, e sale of it and its use can be stopped by inconsiderate legislative enactments. rohibition that has staggered through jioriions of our country for thirty years proves this. Temperance. BOKKUWISb MUM!!. Ku:tor .Stares ax : I understand from articles I have read in the r-TATES- as that Marion coun'j at times borrows money with which to pay off county war rants. I understand that she has paid 8 per cent lor this money. I see Vy the council proceedings pub lished in your paper that the city of Sa lem is able to borrow sooner, on a tem porary loan, at b per cent. Now I would suggef t that when Mari on county needs any n,ore monev. that she advertise for bid . or solicit bids in some other way, iiUi those who have money to loan. There is no business in paying 8 per cen'. for nuni-y, alien the county can get all slie needs at (i per cer4., and most likely at a much lower rate. Taipa VEg. THE AITKK88. Editor Statesman: I desire to give summary in your columns of an Address on prohibition recently delivered in the M. E. church by Rev. F. P. Tower. M. C. Wire. Following is the summary: The evils resulting from the use of In toxicating liquors is universally admitted to be very great. Kven liquor dealers themselves concede this. Man'B jiliyBi cial system is seriously impaired and through that the moral system is weaken ed so that any crime is possible. There are many in society thus impaired, hence the evil is very great. Large cororations are compelling their employees to sign the pledge, because life and' property are too valuable to tie entrusted to the care of men who are demented by strong drink? So that this question atl'ects not only the drinker but every one connected with him. How can these- evils be cured? I,et not moral suasion be forgotteti. It is the basis of all reform. Let the pulpit and the press everywhere advocate total absti nence. Let Bands of Hojh lie formed to educate the coming generation. Let every possiule means le employed to enlighten public opinion and to lay upon men's conscience right views of living. Again the evils must be restrained by h-gal sua sion. Some advocate a limited legal sua in high license, but it is not a remedy for sion evils. Where are the statistics showing the benefits oi high license? It is oien to great object ions. It puts jiower into the hands of a great nionooly. A few low groggerios are closed out, but the business flourishes in gilded palaces, brilliantly lighted, and made attractive sometimes by music. Young men are attracted to these places who would not go to low groggeries. The law already prohibits the sale of liquors to minors and common drunkards. This is good so fur as it goes, but why not go a step farther? After reaching majority the law allows the sa loon keeper to sell to anv man until he becomes a common drunkard, when his t-alth is gone, his money is gone, his good name is gone and be is thrown a burden ujion society. Why should nut the law reiuse to be a partner in the man facture of common drunkards? Prohibi tion is the only rational and practical so lution to this queatiuu. No one exjiects that a prohibitory law will at once stop all drinking, for every law upon the stat ute books is broken. Prohibition has worked great reform hi many places. Let us have it in Oregon. If "prohibition is the only rational and practical solution to this question," why is it that it is failure in Maine, in Ver mont, in Rhode Island, in Iowa and in Kansas? And why was it that it was a failure in Massachusetts and in Michigan, so signal a fuiiure that the law was re pealed? In the light of exjK'rience is it ither "rational"' or "practical"? The evils of the use of liquor are admitted, and the arguments for temerance and sobriety, for total alwtinence, are endors ed and commended, but the means is the point of difference. It is the argument of fact against the fallacy of theory. THE COKKIION HILL. The Coercion bill which the Conserva tive government has brought forward for Ireland, and which is just now attract ing the undivided attention of Uie civ ilized world, is a sweeping one. It in troduces an inquisitorial system, giving magistrates power to examine w itnesses on oath even where no persons are charged with crime. This provision is foreign to the genius of the English law. To meet the difficulty of failiug to get ver dicts, the bill projioses to abolish jury trials altogether in certain classes of cases. It secures to the government a thorough control over the press by giving magis trates the jiower of summary conviction in cases of incitement to the commiHsion of such acts as boycotting, conspiracy and rioting. Certain grave classes of crime committed in Ireland were to lie tried in England under the bill as original) v fram ed, bnt the cabinet has decided to aban don that prevision, owing to the opposi tion it excited. The Viceroy of Ireland is to have power to proclaim societies found to lie disturbing peace and order. The government asks that the permanen cy of the bill tie not limited bv anv fixed time. Naturally, the government's pro)io sition has aiorwed much opposition. It is denounced generally by the radical press and radical societies throughout the coun try. The uieahure is vehemently oppos ed by Mr. Gladstone as the worht propo sition yet brought forward for deaiimr ith the Irish difficulty. J. L Korton Carroll, renidinu at Far Kocka way.

The charter of the State Insurance Company, of this city, has been amend ed and supplementary articles of incor poration have been tiled, authorizing the company to write mercantile and other business risks. They commence to-day receiving aj plications upon that class of jirHperty. The risks will tie carefully selected ; the company will only w rite limited amounts and upon the best class of risks. The manager of the company has had many years of practical experience in this class of business, w ho, together with the direc tors, well known as careful and success ful business men, will give it a very care ful HtijierviKion. The company pose sues nearly one quar ter of a million dollars of first class assets. It writes no risks outside of Oregon and Washington territory. Its assets, capi tul and reinsurance reserve are each lar ger than those possessed by any other company in the United States in propor tion to the field in which they do busi ness and the population of the same ; and they are also larger in proportion to the amount of risks. The State has been in ktisiness here for a numlier of years, has always fulfilled its every promise, dealing honorably and fairly with all. No company offers lietter indemnity, If as good. It is perfectly reliable and trustworthy. Its history shows the smallest percentage of losses compured to premiums of any Insurance company do ing business on this coast. This shows the carefulness with which its risks have been selected, thus demonstrating the lieneft of an able and experienced man agement. It behooves all business people of the country, therefore, to patronize this safe home company, because: First, it is for the best interests of the country to pat ronize and build up such reliable insti tutions, and, secondly, the insured can confidently expect their money promptly w hen they suffer Joss. Gov. ljtrralM"?, Iowa's able governor in his inuup-ira! last year said : "It would seem that Iowa capital and Iowa enter prise should lie able to insure Iowa prop erty as safely as non-resident companies-. Reliable home companies like the 'State', being entirely under our con trol, should lie encouraged to do this business. Home companies are more likely to do justice to their patrons, being nearer to them, and feeling therefore a greater sense of resjionsibility." What is true of Iowa in these resjiects is most surely true of Oregon, and, to gether with the citizens of Oregon, we re joice in this advance step of our pro gressive and reliable home company. Tin: jury that convicted Marple of mur der in the first degree recommended the clemency of the judge. The "clemency" of the judge wss exercised as the law di rects in such cases.
