OKEGON: i;i)yn.snAY......r.r...J.vyi ak 27. issc O.VA OF DIXGLEr.S HILLS. x another column is given the J nil text of a bill introduced in the houe by lined, of Maine, for DinMcy on the 5th inst. It is not probable that the committee to whom it was re fen ed will report it favorably- It certainly deserves ic consideration, for a more ridic mIou proposal could hardly be framed in words. It is an effort to do away with the pilot service and will certainly arouse deter mined opposition. In the almost impossible event of its passage, the irovcrnment should at once take immediate steps to insure a !arre incieasc in the number of Hie saving stations. They would certainly be needed. The bill is one of a batch of fif teen introduced on the oth by li.vd for Dingley andlooks like a piece of buncombe. That it might meet with the approval of the com mittee to whom it has bqen re ferred, or that even after such fa vorable recommendation it would receive enough affirmative votes to make it a law, is a contingency too remote to merit discussion. The bill is a bad one and should be ta bled. THE BOYCOTT IN OltECOX. Tiik Salem Assembly No. 4,421, Knights of Labor, have boycotted AY. W. Martin, :i jeweler of that fity, for using watchcases made by the Deuber "Watch company, a company that had refused to let any of the members of the Knights of Labor work in its factory. As this is the first public boycott of the kind that we have seen pub lished in this state, we append it: Wiieim:as, "W. AY. Martin, jew eler, of Salem, Oregon, has refused to stop dealing in the boycotted Dueber watch eases, and asserted that lie did not desite the patron age of the Knights of Labor, Jiesolvid, That Willamette As sembly, K.of L., No. 4,421, ask of all persons friendly to organized labor to keep away lrom his store, and not patronize him in any way, shape or manner. lieaolndj That all who do pur chase anything of him will be con sidered and treated as enemies of the order thereafter. Rutolrnl, That all papers in Marion county, fiiendly to labor., be requested to publish these res-1 olutions, so that none may deal j with W. AY. Martin ignorantly. By order of the executive com mittee of "Willamette Assembly, K. of L., No. 4,421. A "Washington special sa's it h understood there will be no ob jection to the admission of Mon tana, though the population is not as great as is wished. "While ad mitting the probability of the ad mission of Washington, it says the report that the leaders of both parties have agreed to admit the three territories, is without foundation, so far as learned. Senator Harrison, chairman of the committee on territories in the sen ate, would be likely to know if the agreement had been made. Ife says he lias heard nothing about it. It is understood that the 1 )emo crats arc more willing for the ad mission of Dakota than at first, thinking they may turn the politi cal sentiment. It is doubtful, however, on account of the decis ions of Sparks, over which the Dakota people are very indignant. Tin: report that the Mormons are going to rise in armed conflict against the government is very unlikely. No doubt the Mormons are very angry, and if they thought themselves strong enough, would cheerfully enter upon a tussle with the government; but in spite of all their fanaticism they are by no means fools enough to believe that in a struggle of that kind they have any chance of even tempo rary success. Small and insignifi cant outbreaks among them may occur, led on by overzealons and uninformed partisans; but as for a general' uprising, that is not to be thought of. The most intelligent , among their leaders are recogniz ing the fact that polygamy must go, and are preparing themselves to see it go quiejtly. Gov. Squires has signed the lo cal option bill recently passed by the "Washington territorial legisla ture, and it now becomes a law. The effect is to give each com munity in the territory the right to say, by a majority vote, whether liquor shall or shall not be retailed in the several communities. The first test of any importance will be in Seattle next June, where a de termined effort for and against prohibition will be made by its friends and opponents. The reports made by the fortifi cation board provides for thirteen floating batteries, to cost $300,000 each. San Francisco will get two, New York four, Boston, Charles ton and Pensacola each one. About forty torpedo boats for auxilaries will be supplied, to cost $100,000 each. For land the front fortifica tions will be of heavy armor plates of a thickness which will be im penetrable. No provision will be made for other ports on the Pa cific coast. f A Philadelphia dispatch says: One of the most formidable lob bies known is now endeavoring to get the president to issue a special message in favor of Ead's ship railway. It is a credit mobHier scheme. It is proposed to place a bill in congress asking the gov ernment to guarantee interest on 50,000,000 of bonds. There is no prospect of the clan succeeding in their designs. The only good thing in connec tion with some of the ridiculous bills now being introduced in congress is that it would take a hundred years to consider half of them, and their multiplicity insures their death by suffoca tion, It is thought that the foreign relations committee will probably recommend the consolidation of the Austrian mission with some other, as a rebuke for the conduct of that country towards the United States. Tun Tacoma Ledger wants to know why that city and Pierce county should pay its clerk 7,r00 a year in fees, when as good cler ical talent could be got for 2,o00 a year. Why, indeed. ' Eastern "Washington is making an effort to remove the capital from Olympia. Better wait till the question of state admission is definitely settled. An Australian cable is talked of to run from San Franscisco via Honolulu to Sidney, to cost 10, 000,000. . IKD.
