Thb3e who attended the meeting of the city council last evening noticed that there had been a transformation scene yoiug on sin- lest the city fathers htid met within those legislntivo halls. New matting was on the stairs, the UAiby was redolent with the smell of paint, and a general .furbishing np was noted on the onter walls. In the council chamber the old familiar land marks had disapieared. The discolored walls, the crack in the ceiling, the oil soaked floor, the bare windows had all undergone 11 rehabilita tion. The council board shone in all the slorv of new varnish, the old bracket that held the ancient coal oil lamp was re placed by shining gas fixtures, through the translucent globes of which gleamed the subdued shimmer of the gaslight, above was the fresco work, and on the walls was handsome gold paper, and un derfoot was a costly carpet deftly laid on softest piles of webbed paper and cotton. The old legends of grades and curvatures, of cemetery lots and water fronts, of street subdivisions and warnings concern ing the spitting of tobacco juice and the penalties consequent upon such profana tion as smoking all was in the deep bosom of the back closet buried, cud all surroundings looked in keeping. In the auditor's room the beauty of the carpet but enhanced the brilliancy of the glittering border and lent an added charm to tho massive safe that is raised upon a dais to hold the city funds. Tuo street superintendent's room and the po lice court precincts were also in process of rejuvenation, but as the gas was not lighted there at the hour when the coun cil convened last evening the effect of that mellow light can but be imagined. The council was called to orderat half past eight by his honor, Mayor Uume, the following councilmen answering to their names: Case, Cooper, Dealy, Stone and Trenchard. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and ap proved. Councilman Cleveland took his seat. By this time a large audience was pres ent, comprising several ladies and clergy men. The petition of H. B. Paiker to be given a license to sell wine, malt and Bpirituous liquor, was granted. Similar action was taken in reference to the petition of Aug. Danielson. The petition of Gabriel Karwone was referred to committee on health and police. A petition was read signed by citizens and tax payers asking the council to re fuse a license to any one "whose past record is one of defiance of law and sub versive of good order." Iteferred. The committee to whom was referred the application of W. D. Baker et al. re ported in favor of granting the petition, which was to pay the expenses incurred in the trial in which they were defend ants. . The report was adopted. The report of the city sexton for March was referred to committee on pub Jicproperty. The committee to whom was referred the petition of James McCaxin. reported adversely. A communication from the superin tendent of streets regarding Chinese buildings, sewerage, etc., was adopted. The report of police judge for March was referred to appropriate committee. An ordinance declaring the probable cost of improving Cedar street from West Sixth street to West Ninth, was read first and second times and passed under sus pension -of the rules. An ordinance declaring the probable cost of. improving West Ninth street be twen Water and Spruce streets, was read first and second times and was referred to street committee. An ordinance granting a license to Geo. Hill to Bell wine, malt and spirituous liquors wa"s read and being objeoted to was laid on the table. An ordinance declaring the time and manner of improving West-8th stieet on the north side of Cushings Court street was read first and second times and re ferred to street committee. Ordinances granting Aug. Danielson and H. B. Parker liquor licenses were passed under suspension of the rules. The following resolution was passed: Resol-ctd, That tho Auditor and Clerk be and he is hereby authorized to give due and legal notioe that the Common Council propose to improve Jefferson street from Olney to Washington, Sque- moqua from Cass to wasnington, JUa fayette from Jeffersoa to the water front, Washington from Jefferson to the water front, Main from Court to the water front, Olney from Court to the water front. Also that sewers will be ordered to be constructed on Main, Benton, La fayette, Washington and Olney streets. A resolution regarding the purchase of badges for the lire department was re ferred. G. F. Parker was unanimously elected mm city surveyor. The name of F.J. Taylor was placed is. nomination for the offico of city at torney and confirmed bv a vote of four to two. After soma complimentary remarkB concerning the prosenco of the ladies which was as unusual as it was agreoable, the council adjourned. C. W. Faltoa Is the Man. Situated as we are, at the mercy of a single xaiiroad and raising prodaots that must be shipped, nothing i3 more import ant than the opening of the Columbia river so that boats can come from its month to its headwaters. The claim that the locks cannot be built in ten ears, is the babbling of the denizens of ''Commission Town" on Willamette. If money can be had locks can be built, and if e join with the people at the nr.ii nf tho Columbia, whose interest it is to have navigation opened on that river, we perhaps can send some man to congress who is not identified with those who aro bound that we shall pay tribute to Portland for every ton of wheat we gbip and every crumb that comes upon our tables.

Of course there tweeu the.se places is hbout. all the pro are inoro opportunities here; there is a j aucd j3 worth, and jast its hJtih as they better clianoe; there exist more openings j c.m j. -;ti,.ut interdicting' trade alto- to be independent here than are found in j pether. Chehtiii Xugyet. thickly settled communities, and in this I is our suieriority. No man need want, Ht -ent softly Out. no man need be dependent provided he has grit enough to see it through, but ifj he nossess that, ho needn't travel far. ' wherever he may be, to find an oppor tunity to exercise it. Then, a good deal depends upon what a man cQiues here for. If he is looking for "an easy Bit," "a soft snap," "u fat tako, be will have a pain in his lap be fore he is here three days. Every oue works hard here: somo harder than ethers: and as it goes, the rule in the East is reversed, and the man that works tae hardest has tho mo3t to show for it. The trouble h that there aro in all new countries a good many men in places that they don't fit, that they were never intended for, and that the sheer force of circumstances compels them to occupy. Another theory that people overlook is that this world is a good deal like a cir cus: if you want to see the animals and take in the show, you've got to have a ticket of admission. A man that comes here with the idea of ''trying it," and staying if it suits him, should not land dead broke. He should have at least enough to take him away if he didn't like it, evn if it was rather an uncere monious departure. Sometime ago some youths to fame and fortune unknown, got here with the idea 1 hat they would revolutionize the whole existing system of things. They tarried for a season, and finding that they were not of mental calibre heavy enough to carry out the idea they had formed in what they were pleased to consider their minds, they flew away again, and though their memory ba dear to some whose names are written up on signs throughout tne city, yet wo be lieve th6y did better to go, provided they stay gone, than had they drifted down into the slums and finally graduated as defendants in the circuit court with the commonwealth of Oregon as plaintiff. So that it would be better for those who aio imbued with that idea to come with enough to carry them away or not come at all. We are led to these remarks by the re ceipt in last evening's mail of a letter written from Fort Wayne, Indiana, evi dently by a young man of considerable education. lie says he wants information about this country, "the world owes me a living, and I think I'd do well if I had a chance." The best thing that young man can do is to take a trip to the Indi ana state prison, and look at the inmates, for it is dollars to dimes that two out of every three of them started out with the same idea and that is the way they are collecting the debt. Of all the fool no tions that ever entered a 3-oung man's head, that leads in silliness. The world owes no man anything; he isn't even born free and equal, the Declaration of Inde pendence to the contrary notwithstand ing he is born handicapped with all the in herent weakness and defects that his ancestors are responsible for, and he can no more quarrel with tho Almight for not being as well endowed as others than he can institute a complaint against the Cre ator because he imt as well muscled as Sullivan or Muldoon. He finds himself here with the rest of us, and tho earlier in life he finds out just what to do and how to do it,the sooner he will amount to something and learn a lesson that somo of us find very difficult; it is this that the world will pay n man just exactly tho value he sets on himself if he can get it to believe that ho isn't asking too much. If he can onoo show that he has some ting of value, and can get up a demand for it, the world is his, till some other fellow comes along with something just as good or a little better and then he mustn't grumble; the world and he haven't changed positions a bit, he must go right on and not allow for a moment the idea to generate in his head that the world or the smallest fragment of the world owes him a living. He's getting all he gives a fair retnrn for and there's no obligation on either side. In front of us aB we write hangs a tele phone. The man that invented some part of the rigging, we don't know exact ly what, was a few years ago teaching in some obscure college for bo much or so little a month. He came out of his hole ono day and said to the world "Look hare! I've got someting all you folks want," Everyone that nsos that telephone pays that man $2 a month. Ho has ?4, 000,000 or $5,00J,000 already; he may not be a bit happier than when ho was ex plaining the difference betwoen the gen itive and ablative cases, but his success illustrates our idea that if you can show the world you've something of value to soil, you will find ready purchasers. There's no 'sympathy, no recognized relation of debtor or creditor. We don't pay that man $2 a month for his tele phone patent because we have any special use for him, but, because we consider it is of that value to us in our business. If anv other man camo along to-morrow with a better rig we would drop Bell and his telephone and take up thenew-oomer, and be delighted with him. If our Indiana correspondent wants to work and become a useful citizen, and accumulate a little property and run for office and find that he can best beat that game by letting it alone, and finally learn that the laws of action and reaction are equal and that he can't get any ono to recognize the validity of the debt that he assumes is due him, let him take off his coat where he is in Ft. Wayne, and do the first honest work he meets and be sure he will ultimately succeed, or let him come out here if he have anything for sale, be it brains, muscle, wit or any thing else that we want and can spare the cash to buy. But the Booner he gets that mistaben idea out of his head about the world owing him a living the better for himself and all concerned. We have seen but a few of Kaut's new spring styles, as he is not through opening cases, but we can say truly, his taste for style is grand. Talk about neck wear. Hats, and Fur nishing goods, why, Kant has enough to sell at wholesale or retail, at extreme low prices. For the finest and nicest wall paper, ceiling decorations and ornamentations go and see the magnificent stock just re ceived at the furniture store of M, Olsen &Co. WHAT OUR CONTEMPORARIES SAY. In oldeu times when men and women becamo burnt offerings for opinion's sake, it was not strange to see sweet chanty disguised in tho robes of sectarianism, beldint: np her skirts and declaring "I .' am holier than thou."

If congress would quit president-making, and devote more time to needed legisla tion, end instead of trving to adjust our fiscal affairs to suit Great Britain rather than America, this stagnation in com merce and manufacturing would soon give place to acriviry and pro5j;rity.

Half a dozon of these worthies were col lected iu Justice Bushwiler's offico yester day, -the iourt being absent. A reporter called and the gang turned themselves loose for his benefit. "Singular thing that," said oue, "about the Colesworth. When sho was hove down a sword fish's sword was found sticking in her bottom. It had pierced clean through one of her iron plates and penetrated the lining over an inch." "Yes," said another, "and it had cut a piece out of tho flange of an angle iron as clean as a whistle." 'How long was that lamper eel found sticking to the rudder?" asked a third. "Twelve feot," said a fourth; "I meas ured it myself, and it was nine inches in diameter. ' "Those were large barnacles on her bottom," said a fifth. "Yes," said a sixth; "I took home sev eral as big around asa soup plate." The lender then commenced a yarn about a lumberman in Maine, chopping down a tree and finding half a bushel of herring in the center, which seemed to interest the others, but did not interest the reporter, who went softly out expect ing to see lightning strike th6 place in less than a minute. Oregonian C.' Gtttlfl Beadr for Easter. A man at Forest Grove while threshing his oats ono fall tilled a hogshead full, which he intended to keep until spring for seed to sow. He shortly missed a fine young hen. When spring came and he was ready to sow his oats ho went to his hogshead for seed. To his great surprise when taking off boards that covered the oats he found the lost hen pressed up against the under side of the covering boards. The oats were all gone, but the hogshead was filled with eggs. The hen had eaten the oats all up and laid so many eggs that she died for want of room. WHAT SOMK OF THEM SIT.
