Tas failure of the Corral lia Chronicle newspaper sboold be a lesson to si newspaper managers who think that the trae principles of journalism are adverse criticism and cynicism. Journalists should not be constitutional malcontents, chronic soreheads, or perennial misan thropes. Tbey should not continually look npon tbe dark aide of things, ; They most learn that there is some virtue, some honesty, some honor, some decency, some integrity, some sunshine, in this world. A paper that exists apon a hobby, especially if that hobby Is to redress some imaginary wrongs, is worse than no paper at all, and it is pretty sure to be shortlived. Any one who thinks he can radically reform the changeless underly tng principles of human nature, is a crank of the first water, and whether he is journalist, preacher, or what not, he deserves to be effectually sat down npon. We must make some allowance for the errors and indiscretions of human kind, for we are HI human, more or less most . W ltl . 1 X u as more. r naievcr man or wnatever paper puts more of sunshine than of shadow in this world, deserves success and prosperity, and their oppoeites de serve adversity, ana as there is an eternal fitness of things, they generally reap what they sow.

Ths hard-shell prohis are constantly snaking tbe mistake of assuming that tbe drink habit is tbe only evil. It is admitted inai mis is a great evil, but there are other evils of great magnitude, and if "prohibition by law, which don't pro hibit, is the proper means to get rid of them, why not make a clean sweep, and cut off at one fell swoop all the evils to which flesh is heir? It is a poor reme dy that leaves a part of the disease. "LoxoJohm" Wentwosth, the noted Chicagoan, who is erecting a $20,000 mon nment for himself in Iloeehill cemetery, has decided to put no inscription on the stone.

Is the college graduate educated? j 11m coming event to Salem is the eel This question is now frequently raised. ebration of the one hundred and eleventh Half a centary ago the question would anniversary cf oar National Independence, hare seemed preposterous. Tbe only ' It is ia Intended to hare a "rousing cele- educated men who obtained moch recog nition were the graduates of colleges. Ia small towns there were generally two or three of these to be found. The clergyman, the doctor and the village lawyer were generally graduates of some college. They were thought to have a monopoly of learning. No one disputed their preem inence in this respect. Occasionally an extra man could be found who bad worked his way through college and be come the principal of tbe academy, or preferred to try agricultural experiments on his farm. But he was drafted in every winter for lectures before tbe vil lage lyeeuma. It was always a subject of wonder bow this surplus college man had not chosen a profession. So moch learning going to waste on the farm! A man who knew Latin and Greek and made no nee of this classical learning I Tbe new colleges and universities are turning out thousands of men every year, Hardly one-half of these will enter what are called the learned professions. Tbe other half will bring up in tbe various trades and industrial callings which are now making large drafts on what are called educated men. This point may be safely made that tbe average college graduate is a great deal better educated than he was half a century ago. He may not have much more mental discipline, but he knows more about interests with which he will have to deal with in prac tical life. What the college graduate has obtained chiefly is some good degree of mental discipline, provided be has not been a drone but an honest worker. His facul ties hsve been sharpened, be has been taught to think, to investigate, to work out results patiently, snd possibly to have a firmer mental grasp. He has been led around and shown the open door to many avenues of knowledge. It is absurd to suppose that the college graduate is a scholar in any large sense. He has been dealing with mere elementary facts. Some of them be has reduced to posses sion. The young man who frequents the gymnasium and exercises all bis muscles, is physically stronger for it. The college, seminary and schools are in some sense intellectual gymnasiums where, by sev eral years' exercise, tbe young man is mentally strongsr for the discipline to which he has been subjected. The cur riculum of many colleges has been broad ened, so that the student is brought nearer to the practical and vital ques tions of the day. But when the graduate goes away to his home he is a great way behind thousands of men who never saw the inside of a college. He is then re quired to run the race with picked men, successful men, those who have made their mark in tbe world. It is just at this point thst a great deal of his conceit leaves him. He does not know it all, and the truth breaks upon him by de grees that comparatively he knows very little. He meets men who have len trained in tbe great University of the World and finds thst be is by no means their equal. With all their early disad vantages, they have got the start of him in msny things. Someday he may bridge over tbe distance. A Lit EAT SHOCK. idling the Virginia waters in hi' splendid yacht' recently, Jay Gould touched at Mount Vernon. He there learned incidentally that George Washing ton was dead and that the dust of the il- lutrious Father of his country is entombed in those sacred precincts. i no news seems to nave come as a shock to the great capitalist. Absorbed as he has been during all his active life in making provision against want in his old sge, the history of the hero of the little axe had escaped him. But learning the salient points of that wonderful ca reer, and that thirty-three acres of ad joining land were needed to protect the tomb from encroachments, Mr. Gould W .1 . . 1 . . uougm uie tract ana turneu it over as a pit to tbe Mount ernon regents. TMI'.KITOKIAL. KOVKHEIGNTY. Governor Semple, of Washington terri tory, has issued an order, stating in sab Stance that be will allow troops of the state of Oregon to come into tbe confines of his territory on July 4th, 1887. Now state sovereignty is a term that has been in vogue for a long time. It was used more frequently twenty to thirty years ago than it is now ; but this thing of ter ritorial sovereignty is rathet a new thing to the writer. We are aware of tlie fact that the troot of one state cannot go into another state without tbe consent of the governor thereof, bat we tutd not hud any intima tion heretoore that the same rule holds good in the case of territories. It srpears that the only "resources of civilization" found in the trunk of the alleged dynamiter, Troy arrested in Cork bet week, were a number of Fourth of July boy's flags, pin-wheels, nigger toes, crackers and Items candles intend ed for aa American boy attending reboot in Ireland id" celebrate the innlnmn rJ me national independence of his country.

Tbe parade will be one of the most imposing probably ever seen In Salem, and .the exercises of the day will certainly be very creditable. It ia intended to ask all business booses to close np between the boors of 10 and 12 o'clock in the forenoon, in order to al low the business men and their clerks to take part in tbe parade. There are very few business men or. clerks in the city who do not have membership in some of the organizations that will take a place in the procession. The business men wi certainly do this at the request of tbe committee. The committee on decoration will also call on all business men to decorate their places of bosiness,and also on persons liv ing along the line of march to decorate their residences. All these things will help out in many ways. The programme will be prepared ' aa soon as possible, and every organization proposing to turn out and to tbe credit of the city this sboold include every organization in tbe city should inform Chief Marshal Burnett by to-morrow morning. The thing is now for every body to "get in and drill,' as the slang phrase goes, and try to get op an interest in the entire celebration that will have the effect of aiding the committees in their work. Tbe work of collecting the fund will be commenced to-morrow prob ably, and the collector should not find it necessary to g the second time to any one who subscribed. Let tbe eagle scream. MONUMENTS FOB THK DEAD. The Grant monument fund in New York has reached the sum of $125,000. It is expected to raise a million dollars for the purpose. This is a much larger sum than Grant ever possessed while living. There is growing tendency to erect to the memory of men costly shafts of marble ; to do hon or to their virtues after their eyes and ears are forever closed and their hearts of appreciation eternally chilled. It rains monuments. xnere are snarts lor tne dead, out no money for the living. Ane million aoiiars mat will be ex pended in this immense pile of marble to tbe memory of Grant would probably have prolonged his life, and saved it from great sorrow, if he could have had it at the proper time. And this million dollars, and the many other millions that are spent in monu ments to the dead, who are beyond the possibility of appreciation, would relieve the sufferings of thousands upon thous ands of worthy people who have warm hearts to appreciate the blessings of charity. We would mark the resting places of the honored dead appropriately ; but we would be less ostentatious. Grant des pised the mockery of pomp and show. We believe in smiles and charity for the living, and tears and sympathy for the dead. We believe in smoothing out the wrinkled brow of care and in strew ing roses in the pathway of the living, rather than showing our love for them suer ii is too late lor mem to see our lemonstrations. WILLAMETTE VNIVEKS1TT. Of the many deserving educational in stitutions of this state, is one whose work is worthy of especial commendation, and that is Willamette University, of this city. During the past year the univer sity has been more thsn ordinarily suc cessful, both financially, and in the in terest in educational work which was aroused, among its students. Managed by a faculty whose merobeis are energet ic and competent, Willsmette is widening each year its circle ol influence, and its grad nates and former students may be found in every prominent walk of life. Tlie curriculum of study provided for its students is thorough and will bear com parison with tliat of any other institution on the Pacific coast. The advantages it offers to young men who are struggling for an education are unsurpassed and the opiwrtunities for pursuing any line of study are excellent. The coming year of the university bids fair to be more prosper ous than that of any other in the history of the institution. The students who come from all parts of tbe coast leave in Salem during the school year many thousands of dollars. Both for the financial valne and educational and moral tone which it adds to this city this institation is worthy of the hearty support of every, citizen. Huit it will succeed in proportion to its deserts the Statksjcax earnestly wishes. A side op and down the great Wil lamette valley, and a talk with a num ber of farmers, gives one an impression that the crop soon to be harvested will be an usually good one. In Douglas county they have been for several days follow ing the advice of the fellow who said Make hay while the aim shines." With a very fair prospect for good prices, the average Willamette raUey fanner should be happy.

Tbe George William Curtis school of politicians has made it a cardinal article of belief in its creed that the minister to England should be one of "them literary fellers," on the ground that the Engllah worship intellect and scholarly attain ments. That school deemed it little abort of high treason So recall Lowell, although he showed but little capacity for perform ing tbe functions of his office. It was claimed that be was a Hon in London so ciety, on terms of tbe most perfect inti macy with tbe nobility and gentry, and, in fact, tbe bright particular star of polite and influential circles. 80 frequently were tbe changes rung on this theme by Harper's Weekly and its imitators that many people became really convinced that this apostle of cul ture, literature, and mngwumpery was right, and when Minister Phelps re ceived his sppointment a wail went up because be could not read"Mahabharata" in the original, and because his views 00 me nracnystrocnronic - curves were thought unsound. The idea was encour aged that the court of St. James would feel slighted, if not insulted, that any one but a finished and polished scholar should have been sent there from the United States. A recent dispatch from London wil possibly convince George William and his clansmen that their fears were ground less. The cable informs us that Buck Taylor, the cowboy, who dislocated his shoulder tbe other day, during one of tbe performances of Buffalo Bill's show, is one of the lions of London, and is quite a pet of London society, and the papers hare been filled with the honors shower ed upon Buffalo Bill himself. And yet neither Mr. Taylor nor Mr. Cody is a profound scholar. Probably neither of them ever beard of Sanskrit or of the properties of the cycloid, snd certainly they are not renowned in the annals of literary composition. Tbe fact is, what takes tbe people of London by storm is novelty. To most of tbem a cultured American is quite as re markable as a learned Bushman would be, or a scholarly Maori. Their idea of the United States is thst of a semi-civil- ized.wbolly unlettered country, and when a man like Motley, or Lowell, or Oliver Wendell Holmes goes over there, be is a curiosity to them. It is fair to say that most of the people who go to see Buffalo Bill and bis caravan consider them 1 more truly representative Americans than the ordinary run of visitors from the United States, snd they rank them with our scholars and literary men simply as curiosities. Of course there are many who can form something resembling a just conception of tbe United States and its people, but the most of them have the most vague and sbadowy ideas of America and Americans ; and they are the peop.'e who witl lionize any American who does not fit their preconceived notions, whether be be the author of the "Biglow Papers" or a longhaired cowboy. ASSISTED IMMIQUATION. The recent correspondence between Secretary Bayard and Mr. West, the British minister at Washington, regard ing immigration is suggestive. Mr. West first asked whether Irish immi grants sent out at public expense, but baying friends in the United Stales able to maintain or assist thsm, would be al lowed to land. It may be assumed that there are comparatively few persons in Ireland who have not friends in this country able to assist them to a greater or less extent. The question which the inquiry of Minister West does not in clude is whether these friends are dis posed to assume the burden of that assis tance, provided their existence can be demonstrated 7 Mr. West farther ex plains that his inquiry includes the Scotch Crofters who have been driven from their homes. It is quite probable that if these evicted Irish and Scotch tenants conld be settled n this country, with means of temporary subsistance they would in due time become self-supporting citizens, but that is no resson why this gov ernment should make exceptions in the enforcement of its immigration laws to favor the policy of Groat Britain. f that power will not give its subjects a chance to make a living at home, there ia no reaon why it ahonld unload them on me united Mates. Air. nest's in quiry, in fact, contemplated making oor state department a political agent of England to iwist her in dealing with her ill-treated subjects. Evidently Mr. Bay ard saw the point and refused to become a party to such an arrangement. He put his refusal ostensibly npon economic grounds, which afforded a convenient ba sis therefor. It would hardly be diplo matic for him to bluntly i a form Mr. West tnat the government of the United States did not propose to relieve tbe government of Great Britain of the task of supporting the paupers it is making-, but thatis what his teply means, and it ts tn accordance with public sentiment.

Mr. Cleveland has turned traitor tray-tab, sah 1 Or if not traitor, ass, which is as bad, if not worse. But let us revert; we opened the burden of the woes of Ken tocky "in media res,? between the An gostura and the whisky, so to speak. Let us go back to tlie cause of things. Says Mr. Watterson : What reasonable man could have fore told one week ago that a perfunctory or der touching tbe removal of a lot of worthless rubbish from an attic could have been made the occasion of a clamor equally disreputable and senseless, yet thoroughly characteristic and representa tive ? But there seems no room to doubt thst this clamor has a definite purpose and tangible meaning. It now nearly discloses the existence oi a party spirit which nas lorgoiten notningof war and learned nothing of peace, but it presages, ana in iaci lays out me lines tor a na tional campaign to be fought out next year on issues purely sectional. Yes, indeed! What reasonable man 1 S .a a. -a - A. . . wouia nave thought Mr. Cleveland so foolish as to to believe that the nation joined with Mr. Watterson's old-fashioned democracy in regarding the captured battle fl.igs as "a lot of worthless rubbish V We are a bae and commercial set "up n oh lh," prone to value things by their cost. And these flags cost us a great deal. Bat let us follow the burden of the song of lamentation : Tbe republican leaders thiuk that Uiey can fire the northern heart by an appeal to the memories of tlie rebellion, and unite tbe people of the north against the people of the south by the fomentation of passions which .wise men honed snd thought bsd long since gone to sleep. The key-notes to tbe campaign thus marked out are to be fraud and frenzv. The fraud will consist in a raid upon the treasury, which is to proceed undsr cover of a display of patriotic sentiment. The frenzy will rally round a scarecrow to be set up in all the northern states and la beled the Solid South. The fraud is expected to unite the soldiers on tlie old flag and a pension. The frenzy is ex pected to get away with the bigots and fools. The bloody shirt is the red rag to be flaunted before the eyes of an infuriated mob. and we are to have even a lower level than that which was reached in 1884. But after the campaign ol IraaU and frenzy lias fired me northern heart, and united the north ern people, and placed Mr. Sherman in tlie presidency, shall we be any nearer a solution of this black problem than we were when Sheridan drove the Louisana legislature into the Mississippi river and martial law prevailed over "tbe states lately in rebellion?'' We shall not be. Mr. Watterson knows, what will bap- pen alien the nation reels under tbe double curse of John Sherman in tbe , . . 1 president s cnair ana a tiension to every disabled soldier of the union. It is this: Tbe democrats will quit haling each other and unite in hating tbe country: With one hand in that of Arthur Col- jar, and tne other in that of Albert Ijh- mar, we shall have nothing but kind words and good will for Sam Randall : and tlie whisky ring and the robber bar ons; and the mugwumps, and even the interstate commission shall stand aside until the enemies of peace and union, lib erty, order and law are driven back and forever into the lair of fraud ami frenzy, where they are now organizing to spring tiger like at the throat of the nation. Mr. Watterson has been in no such wsrlike mood since the day when he threatened Grant with the '.'advance of 100,000 nnartned Kentuckians on Wafhinirton" to set Samuel J. Tilden in the chair to which Louisiana failed to elect him. To the horrors of sn invasion of 100 000 unarmed Kentuckians be now adds the threatened ravages of the twenty three bloody and mercenary mugwumps, who will march as Kkirmishers of Ran dall's and Lamar's divisions singing their war song : With a pooad and a ball of LUabur chee (Aod the tks-r lUdA-hk, sod me chilblain itch) With a one eyed eat and me rood dog "flea" (And. oho.

When a man la tried for the crime of murder or of theft, and convicted, H is not on account of any malicious or re vengeful intent, but to serve as a warn ing to other, to nphold the dignity of tbe law, and thus to protect society against the frequent repetition of soch crimes. But when a person is arrested for a crime he has not committed, and for which there is no reasonable evidence to convict, upon the complaint of some revengeful or envious person, then this is malicious prosecution, and it should be discoursgtid. If the parties complain ing were compelled to deposit or give bonds for tbe amount of the costs of the action, in case of failure to convict thia would serve aa a dampener to the ardor of some evil disposed persons. This sub ject should have the careful attention of tbe legislature at its next session. THE GKKAT AMHTTOB'S DECISION. "Vircbow says it's not cancer." That verdict of the celebrated German, ia re assuring not only to a whole nation, but to the whole of Europe. After an unusually careful examination with the microscope, Vircbow declares that the trouble in Our Fritz's throat "ia a harmless wartlike growth with nothing cancerous about it, and no suspicion of a cancerous growth near it." Germany breathes freely once more. for it is the general belief that when the Prince assumes the crown be will pursue as far aa possible, tbe peaceful policy ( his aged father. Bio Richard Koehler, of tbe little Ore gon and California branch of the small Southern Pacific railroad, in his imperial and autocratic authority, has objected to his subordinates being interviwed in re gard to the affairs of the company by the railway commission. But before his roy al highness is through with this job, be may be brought to the painful realization of the fact that be is not a bigger man than the state of Oregon. A STCDEXT at Vanderbilt University, in Tennessee, has beaten the world's record at high kicking, having reached with his big toe the unprecedented height of nine feet three and a half inches. This news is enough to make old Commo dore Vanderbilt kick in his coffin when be thinks of the money he gave thst Tennessee university. The St. Louis Poet Dispatch suggests: "President Cleveland is more enthusi astic over the tjueen's fifty years of roy alty than (Jueen Victoria was over our Republic's hundred years without roy alty." Probably the president should be pardoned for being more conversant with English than American nietory. The excellent features of the National banking law are iiluHtiated in the failure of the speculating Fidelity bank of Cincin nati. While the law does not and can not proteot depositors, it protects all the bank's outstanding circulation ,and makes every dollar of it good. The Oregon Pacific railroad is a factor n the commerce of this section, and the past year, by furnishing a lively competi tion, it has saved thousands of dollars In freight charges to the people of tlie valley. And it is spreading out and pushing on. The coming Fourth of July promises to be very generally observed in old fashioned ways. Tlie President of the United States will likely go a fishing.
