He has since visit ed Fresno coanty, California, and is now convinced that his former assertion was so "error of opinion, arising from an ig norance of fact." He now says that "an industrious family in Fresno coanty, when the bosband bas muscle and brains and does not drink whisky, nor play cinch at saloons; when tbe wife has industry and taste, order and cleanliness; when the boys are able to work and do not smoke cigarettes nor tbe girls wear bangs and play the piano and are not ashamed of their mother, and when ail are willing to work, economize, and pay close attention ' to tbe minding of their own affairs ; when the men eschew politics and gin and the women avoid neighborhood gossips and know bow to ran a sewing machine, and raise turkey where the only expendi ture for higher literature is four annnal dollars for the Argonaut we are con vinced an industrious family can live in comfort, ease and independence upon twenty acres of land. This cannot be done everywhere ; it cannot be done except up on acres responding to careful culture ; it can be done in Fresno, for we saw tbe acres snd we witnessed where the pap port came from and bow it came." GIVE THE BOTH A CHANCE. As is well known, the various labor or ganisations in the United Stat have had ia force an iron-clad regulation limiting the number of apprentices to the different trsdes, which bas been rigorously en forced. They fixed absolutely the num ber wbich a particular shop or foundry or other institution might take in, from their decision there was no sppeal. Becen' ly a change bas taken place. The national assembly of journeymen hoase painters, held a few years ago in the east, ays the Chronicle, unanimously resolved that the old regulation limiting the num ber of apprentices should be abandoned, snd hereafter that assembly will impose noestriction upon the employment of any number of beys a boss may see fit to pat to learn the trade. The friends of the laborer and who ia not his friend will bail this important movement as an indication that working iagrnen are at least learning to think for themselves instead of being led by empty beaded, glib-tongoed demagogues, who fatten on the labor of others, while they themselves employ their time in windy declamation and frantic appeals to the down-trodden and oppressed. Jmmm SttsaxA, in speaking to a West ern reporter of bis endorsement by the Ohio republican convention, which he stormed and captured and gently manip ulated, says : "I was certainly very much gratified and felt highly honored at re ceiving such a compliment from the re publicans of Ohio. I felt that t? ion vent ion should express itself in some manner, and either endorse Mr. Hiaine or some one else, that the party in this state might have a foundation to work upon." Senator Sherman seldom in dulged in humor, but in the above sen tence be displays a genial f acetioasness worthy of Artemus Ward. There is a co quettish playfulness about this express ion "some one else" which, without ex aggeration, might be called frolicsome. It is evident that the "foundation to work upon" which the Ohio republicans have obtained might easily become one of the leading funny men of the country. Wuile it ia perhaps too early to form may correct estimate of the results of the work of the railroad commission of this state, the commissioners have exhibited an unmistakable determination to con fine to reasonable bounds the encroach ing demands of the railroads of Oregon. If ever there was doubt that either Com missioner 8 later or Waggoner might be controlled by corporate influence, their open and straightforward action bas dis pelled it. Hakvht was over in Illinois and other northern states two weeks ago, and tire fall immigration westward has already started. The top price for wheat In Illi nois bow is about 63 cents per bushel. The farmers of Oregon will receive better prices this year for their wheat than the fanners of the Mississippi river valley. Ths.

Cocera hctXxsl2z j for Ce rrocexrion. The Crests below surged wiib enthusias ts citizens. They all threw up their bats and shouted : "Grover Cleveland for 1383!" It sounded far off, as shoots do in dreams, yet the welcome words were dis tinctly intelligible. Then a burst of music announced that tbe bead of the procession was nearing the place where the president stood. The guest of the city started back as if in sur prise. For it was not the rich blare of a full brass band that he beard, but the sharp staccato of fifes and drums' playing a soldiers' march. The crowd in the street separated right and left. "Left! left! left! left!!' came tbe measured tread of the marchers, and tbe bead of tbe mighty procession swept by. This was no carnival scene. The pres ident looked down the long line, but not a float or a barge or an allegorical tableau on decorated wagon was in sight. No maskers or mummers. Nothing but men plainly dressed in blue, roost of them of middle age or beyond, marching always in grim earnest to the music of fite and drum. The guest of the city turned indignant ly to the chairman of the committee on entertainment, who stood just behind him. "What does this mean? Is an in sult intended ?" The committeeman shook his head urbanely and put his finger to his lips. Then he pointed down the line. l seemed to be endless. Still they came, platoon after platoon. " Left ! left ! left ! left !' a steady, rhyth mic tread, punctuated now and then by the clinking beckle of a pair of iron-shod crutches. Home of the marchers wore empty coat lee ves pinned upon the breast. Some of them marched with difficulty. None of them glanced up at the balcony where the guest of tbe city stood. They moved straight onward, as if they were march ing to a combat. Tbe president sighed. "I did not know there were so many of them," he said. On they came "kftlleft! left! left!" thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of union veterans. And every few minutes hoarse cheers went up from tbe crowd of spectators that lined the way. The cheers were no longer for the man on the balcony nor for 1883. They were for the bullet-ridden, tattered, ragged and blood stained battle-flags that were borne by, and for the memory of the battle years in tbe sixties. The minutes seemed hours to the pres ident, snd the hours seemed an eternity, while he stood and reviewed the grim paraders, who paid no heed to his pres ence. At last a welcomed sound relieved his ears, weary of the monotonous tramp ing, lie heard tbe rumbling of wheels. "The Veiled Prophet" ! somebody shout ed : "Here he comes !" As the massive car approached, drawn by a score of white horses, the cheering became continuous. Tbe guest of the city leaned over the balustrade, the bet ter to see the pageant. The car was handsomely decorated with flowers and bunting. On the summit of the construc tion stood a single figure, a man wearing as a veil over his face the flag of the United States. The car stopped just opposite the hotel entrance. The prophet slowly removed the veil that had concealed his features and stood face to face with the president, i Ie said nothing but stretched his arm forth and pointed with a most significant gesture to tbe long line of veterans ahead, their backs now all turned to G rover Cleveland, all marching steadily away from him into the distance. The president recognized the Veiled Prophet. "It is George Brinski, my sub stitute!" be murmured. He turned away and awoke. It had been a bad dream. New York Sun. THK WHEAT GAMBLE. The wheat gamble has collapsed. We are sorry for it, because, if the wheat fanner can get ten dollars more for his crop in California than it is worth in Liv erpool.it is a good thing for the farmer, and so far as we can reason gambling in wheat, stocks and merchandise is a good thing for the community; it keeps money in circulation, and when money is in active circulation we always get some of it. We are sorry for the men who lose, bat this grief is modified by tbe reflection that somebody else has won. In fact in this grain collapse, nothing has been lout. It is n-A such a kind of calamity as a fire or railroad smash-up, because nothing is destroyed; there is just as much wheat and money in the work! this Saturday a last, only different people have it. If there had been a fire in a grain warehouse or the sinking of a wheat laden ship, it woald have lieen serious ; hat if a syndi cate of grain gamblers have damped about seven snd a half millions of their easily acquired wealth into the pockets of certain other grain gamblers, we can not perceive that it is a Very serious mat ter, nor is it in any sense important in its cotiseqoenres to anybody except the los ers, and we are not required to give any sympathy till they ask it. Ho far the general pnbl'ic does not know their names. 4an Francisco .Argonaut. Developments go to show that it ws not so much of a collapse, after all, bt.t j that the cambler yet have the urper j hand, and, so ftr as indcatiars go, are in J a good positi-xi to leep it. We srein- dined, with the Argonaut, to he in sym 'psthy with tbe gamVleig in this da. iaa wO; k-lLjL"l4t i f ,j its leaders, and has Uta cT stJ $J of tbe brie-zx ci a sdt to C---w-porata the church and to wind up 111 bu siness. The death of President Taylor takes away from tbe polygamous Kor cdoqs an individual fores potent la church councils and business affairs since the time of Joseph Smith, and it takes away from tbe polygamists that clement of strength that came to them through Taylor's alleged martyrdom. There was a good deal to the Mormon cause, in tbe personality of this man, who had been associated with the founder of tbe church in its early struggles, who shared the im prisonment of the "prophet" in Carthage jail, and who carried through life the bullet marks be received in defending Joseph Smith on the day he was killed by the mob. Tbe fact that Taylor, armed only with a cane, faced the infuriated men who sought Smith's life and turned their rifles aside was a something to fire tbe imagination of tbe Mormon children, and after the death of Brigham Young ail such incidents in the life of Taylor were made the most of. Taylor's wide experience, his fine per sonal appearance, his literary and orator! cal ability (be was regarded the finest pulpit orator among tbe Mormon preach era), and his great age all contributed to make his enforced absence from Salt Lake City an element of strength to those who were urging the Utah Mormons to stand by polygamy. Although Taylor was not arrested, be left Salt Lake City and remained in biding for two years. While in hiding be was paraded as a martyr, although be continued to preside over tbe affairs of the church and to com mun!cate with his people. The fact that he was in hiding and the fact that he sent appeals to his people from his mys terious hiding place were used to arouse the Mormons and to keep alive the spirit of resistance to the law. Although Tay lor was nearly 79 years of sge, and al though the Deseret News, tbe official Mormon paper, stated that up to the last illness be waa "upright in form, vigorous in manner, having a well preserved and healthy body," George Q. Cannon and Joseph F. Smith, in their official an nouncement of bis death, "declare "Pres ident John Taylor bas been killed by the cruelty of officials who have, in this terri tory, misrepresented the government of the United States," and that "his blood stains the clothes of the men who with insatiate hate have offered rewards for his arrest and have hunted bim to the grave." This indicates the spirit in which the Mormons used the hiding of Taylor to aid their cause, and the spirit in which his death at nearly four score years will be used to inflame tbe Mormon mind against the government and its officers. But in Taylor's death the Mormons have lost the influence of his personality and the benefit the cry of martyrdom gave them. Without Taylor's prestige and in fluence they most turn to meet this new attack on their church as an incorporate body, and they are at the parting of the roads. If they abandon polygamy, the Mormon people remain secure in their homes, their religious principles and their rights as individuals. If they do not abandon polygamy they will be pushed to the wall. If they emigrate to Mexico they will be worse off than they are in the United States, because as a church they cannot hold property there, and polygamy is a crime there as here. They cannot find in any country in Eu rope tbe privileges they enjoy in Utah. The question is whether they will sacri fice their homes, their privileges and future in such a republic for polygamy, or give up polygamy for what most peo ple prise above all other things. This settles it. "The Charleston News and Courier," fresh from abusing Gener als Sherman and Sheridan and from as serting that secession was not treason, now remarks that "the G. A. R. must be have better or break up." Tbe G. A. It. will govern itself accordingly. Still it might be well to remind "The News and Courier" that it talked in the same strain to the Grand Army of the Republic in 1S61, and that it gently but firmly de clined either to behave better or break up. Tub talk of tbe Ferry-Boolanger duel which Is to come off in France, only gives American people a profofnd dis gust. If Boulanger wants to whip Ferry, or is after bis gore, why don't be go for him, without all this bluster and blow. Tbe French style isn't the American stvle; by any means. The schools of Salem will open next month, and the indications are that the attendance upon ail of them will be lar ger than ever before. Falem has the best schools in tbe state, and baa a pride in keeping them the best. Thk local option law is doing good work in Illinois, in Georgia and in Michigan, and in Nebraska high license has shot up many saloons, and is still putting tens of thousands of dollars into tbe school fan 1, for the education of the young. Sneai rr Matkos will gite $2,500 if Mc Gui; will letnrn and take his bath. This is the biggt premium erer offered a demccrat for each purpose. Ch'csgo Inter-Ocean. Llta ZzzlU l- Ji: ia I j tzzz zacrti for tla ccn'rj annual Uir, Is to be eooioeBdaJ.aa U 1 certainly have the erct of increasing both the number and quality of tbe exhibits, and attrac tions And attendance. For several years, this institution bas been crippled by a stingy, fogy i ah management, and it is bat now beginning to recover -from the baa of that eontroL This is shown lathe enlarged premiums offered for state and county exhibits for agricultural, horticul tural, industrial and for tbe blooded stock exhibits. Then several other attractions have been added, notably, a drilling contest between organised companies of the Oregon National Guard ; aa excellent band. will furnish music; bicycle con tests will add much to the forenoon sports during the week. But with all these, there are yet many reforms needed, and they will have to be practiced before many seasons. These reforms are more particularly connected with trials of speed. For years, what is, or at least should be tbe most attractive and interesting sport, has been debauch ed until it has become merely "one grand gamble" and "sell out" by the unprinci pled jockeys of less principled employers. There is nothing more attractive than the trotting or running of blod ed horses when they are trotted or run honestly, to demonctate their speed; but there is nothing less attractive to the average lover of good horse flesh to see the slow horse always take the race on a "sell out." Whether this is usually caused by tbe "fullness" of the pool box, or whether it is from pure cussedness on the part of tbe owners and jockeys, the writer does not pretend to ray. But wherever the evil lies, it should be reme died. If it lies at the pool box, then do away with that. This could be done any way'without any very great loss to the morals of tbe country ; yet it is better to have the pool pox, and have it off to one side, than to allow those who will gamble, to make their beta in tbe grand stand, as was usual a few years since. However, horseowners ought to be the ones to cor rect this evil, and they should not re quire that it should be taken in band by outsiders. It is believed, that less jock eying will be indulged in this fair, how ever, than formerly, and the State Fair management promise to look to this mat ter themselves. If such is the case, the Oregon State Fair track will see tbe fast est time ever made thereon, daring the cominir fair. Otherwise tbe matter is doubtful. However, the attractions of the fair, aside from the race course, will be suffi cientto draw thousands of people who never attended before. Tbe success f the fair, of coarse, depends largely upon the manner in which it is patronized, bat with the attractions that will be of fered, no doubt the attendance will be all that the management could desire. HOW WORDS ARK MADK. The frills and flounces that beautify language are turned out by those rhetor ical milliners who sit in close quarters in newspaper offices or in dim studies and make the literature of the world. Bat vigor of speech and downright forcible expression have their origin on the streets, on the stump, in the caucus, or are caught up like strays along the by ways and highways of special vocations or chance circumstance. The most graph ic, descriptive, pointed or significant phrases in the language are those con verted from primary meaning to general use, enlarged from specific purpose to general application, ' and, like the stone l ejected by the builders, are rescued from misprized neglect and given a noble mission. There seems to be an inherent necessity of man's nature for a more co gent and concise statement of his senti ments than is possible with an ordinary combination of words in proper, that is to say scholastic, speeh. The slow processes of elegant language no more suit the man who wishes to be promptly understood by the many than do the methods of the Roman soldiers consist with the exigencies of modern warfare. Slang does for the editor what the cannon does for the general accoro pliahes a desired result in the quickest possible time. Accordingly our language is rapidly becoming a vernacular, and the more chaste writers occasionally feel compelled to drop in the parlance of the sidewalk to make their meaning clear, to give comprehensive utterance to an ab stract idea. We are passing from compo site to concrete, from complex forms to simple terms ; and instead of painting an idea by grouping many words, we sym bolize it by an exclamation. Our politi teal phraseology is particularly rich in the economy of terms, reahxing tie La tin descriptive moltum In parvo, ia a way that enables a political writer or speaker to say thrice as much in a given space as could a scrupulous disciple of Murray in the old time. If time is money, slang is wealth, and though we may not justify its use in polite circles ,U ei e are occasions when it is mightily comforting to a man who has not the vocabulary of -Conkllng or the proline eloquence of IngersoJl. - There is no disputing the meaaingfull ness of the phrases, terms, expressions, and pat words familiar in ordinary on versation, the simple diction free f:om glare g sit not found ia books. ' . UJts rcr the past few years the American people have been fed on pabulum about tbe "new south." Grady, of Georgia, made speeches la Bosting about tbe changed order of things there since the war. We hare been told time and again by the northern demo cratic press, that, "although the south bas accepted ber defeat, tbe north has never acknowledged her victory,' and we have been accused of playing ghouls over the grave of a dead issue, and of shaking the bloody shirt. We have been assured that all was peace and harmony and filial affection and such other rot as the occa sion demanded in the south. We had be gun to almost believe the smooth stories. But now comes tbe Georgia legislature to scare all the credulity out of us on this point. A bill to "regulate the manner of conducting educational institutions in this state and to protect the rights of col ored and white people, and to provide penalties for the infraction of this act," has passed the house of the Georgia leg islature. For some years northern men and northern money have been sent to Georgia to educate the hated "niggers," and these men have not excluded white children from tbe colored schools. ' The purpose of this bill is simply to persecute these "Yankee" educators of the "nig ger." Tbe ignorant and prejudiced Geor gia legislators don't want tbe "nigger" educated. They will stamp out every vis tage of northern influence upon the col ored race, and ostracise and persecute those who have been sent there to make a "new south." This is the spirit that persecutes the Jews in Russia. It is tbe rankest kind of race prejudice. It is a disgrace not only to Georgia, but to the nation and to civilization. Tbe "new south" cry is already old it is the mus tiest kind of a chestnut, and the nation needs a rest from it. This is a weather item. One Salem resident met another resident of the cap ital city, and the Salem resident remark ed to the capital city resident that he didn't see any difference between this summer and lat. The capital city res ident replied: "I do." Salem resident "What T" Capital city resident ''One year." Then some one made tbe same remark that the reader of this will make. He said "rata!" A young lady from the Willamette val ley at Yaquina bay asked the original question, "What are the wild waves say ing?" They would say "Put on more clothes," if they could talk. Bill Watkinds, the red-nosed Nemesis of Oregon democracy, has "risen up William Riely," as it were, and is camping on the trail of the democratic brethren who opposed his appointment as United 8tates marshal for Alaska, or anything else in sight. There was noth ing too high for Bill. But just about the time that Bill got within hailing dis tance of a confirmation as inspector of customs at Oosoyoos, in the Port Town send district ,a couple of letters from Asa hel Bush and Judge W. W. Thayer knocked him out, and Bill was once more a political orphan. He is still without any definite hope to cling to, hence those tears. Bill is forced to make the admiss ion that as letter writers Bush and Thay er are each a success. If they have any use for Bill at Oosoyoos, he would render the people of Oregon a great and lasting service if he would go back there, get telescoped against the name and stay there and listen till he is called for. He would be still listening when Mount Hood is sgain a very large hole in the ground. Nkd II. Peu.. THE PRICK OF WHEAT. The farmers of this section may be as sured of one thing and that is they will realize aa high a price as the market will stand this year, for there will be plenty of competition, and many different inter ests represented. The oifferent milling companies are already out after wheat, and the buyers for export have men on tbe grounds, ready and anxious to ex change marketable paper, worth its face value, for Willamette valley wheat. There is no chance for a "combine," and the farmer will get all they can afford to give. We hope it - may be a dollar a bushel. His Royal Highness Prince Devawongse Varoprakar, of Siam, is making a tour of the country, and the New York Herald, the American toady of royalty ,bastens to "present its respects" to his royal, high ness, "witn the hope that, bis journey through this country may be both pleas ant and instructive." We would suggest also that if Devawongse Varoprakar will keep his nose clean, be will be treated with as much respect as if his name were John Smith and his father simply a hod carrier, but no more. Weu, It bas been several weeks since Jake Sharp.the great New York boodler, was convicted of giving bribes and sen tenced to Sing King; but he yet remains ia jail in New York city, and every pos sible effort is being made to keep him from going to Sing Sing. Jake Sharp is a very rich man, but we predict that be will go to Sing Sing, if he does not die before his time. , coxczvrrrrr. - Every consistent mugwump is forced to admit to himself, If be does not rxpress it openly, that George William Curtis is eminently correct la bis position, that Cleveland has not satisfied the promises and predictions made by that queer po litical hybrid, the mugwump, so persist ently made and egotistically stuck to during the campaign and after it, even to the violation of all the roles of common sense. Daring the first few months of his administration Cleveland made a show of observing ths rules marked out for hici by the immaculate and exacting malcontents,' who go by the name of mngwnmps. He pretended to stick to the rules of that abstract nothing known as "civil service reform ;" bat he ' has gradually ceased to humor, this beautiful vanity of the mugwumps, until be bas almost cleared the decks of republicans, and a republican officeholder under this administration will be a cariosity by the time the campaign is fairly opened next year. There can be no complaint about this course from a democratic standpoint, for their doctrine, to the victors belong the spoils, is the only principle in their creed worthy of mention ; but it is anything but satisfactory to the hybrid crew who prom ised and were promised so much in the way of civil service reform. President Cleveland can be credited with enough discretion to know upon which side his political bread is battered. A sop to the magwamps would catch tbe uncertain sympathy of a lot of political soreheads and malcontents, but a sop to the "solid south" and the democracy means a few millions of votes, in case of his candidacy for a second term. George William Curtis, you were good enough for the purpose ; but now the long hair of your strength has been shorn. Yon will please "keep off the grass," and give the democracy a chance to dis play itself. w TANTD. A FABM TO RENT BY A FIRST- clMf former, una with torn ixuturs oa It preferred.
