THUBSDAY.
.AUGUST 11, 1887
The cost or milling flour has been
reduced at Minneapolis from 8G.35 in
1878 to SL89 in 1885, and at the pres
ent time the cost is still lower.

Extert girls making the first qual
ity of men's linen collars can, in the
Troy factories, for instance, earn from
S25 to $35 per -week.
The manufactured products of the
south had increased from $315,924,794
in 1880 to $529,839,000 in 1887, a gain
of $213,000,000 in seven years.

Neakly half the salt product of the
ontire United States is credited to
Michigan, -whose supply is derived
mainly from artesian borings.
Expbess trains on the Pennsylvania
railroad accomplish runs of consider
able distances every day in the week
at the rate of nearly seventy miles an
hour.
The monument to general Grant at
Mansfield, Vt, consisting of a pile of
stones to which every visitor is re
quested to add one, is growing large
and tall.
The cavalry saddlo used in the
United Stales army is pronounced by
the military men of Europe to be the
most bungling and cnmbersome ap
pliance in use.
Empekok "William has written lo
the Pope saving that it would be a
grand thing if they were able in their
old age to establish pence between
Prussia and the Vatican.
The directors of the Minneapolis
exposition will ask Mr. Gladstone to
open the affair by pressing an electric
button at London if the cable com
panies report the thing to be feasible.
Jm. Swinton's paper is dead, and
the great labor reformer is out the
$25,000 he put into the work. Many
a newspaper supports a cause, but no
cause ever yet supported a newspaper.
Memphis is taking her boodlers by
the throat. The grand jury has found
indictments against three more city
officials for stealing $120,000. The
way of the boodler is getting to be a
hard one.
American tourists who have re
cently returned from Europe affirm
that it is almost impossible to throw
away a discarded orange peel on Re
gent street or the Strand without bit
ing an American presidential candi
date. .
The south is beginning to agitate
its claimB for a place on the next
national ticket of the Democratic
presidency. Georgia is putting for
ward governor Gordon for the vice
presidency, and Virginia is urging the
claims of governor Lee.
General Spinner, formerly treas
urer of the United States, whose cu
rious signature on the "greenbacks''
was once so familiar, is reported to
be enjoying tent life at Pueblo beach,
Florida. He is eighty years of ago
but as genial and hearty as ever.
The Weekly Thunderbolt is the
name of the newest idiocy in the San
Francisco newspaper field. Its aim
and object is to put its editor and
owner in the governor's chair, a mis
fortune to our sister state which will,
happily, be spared that common
wealth. -t
The arrivals of immigrants at the
half-dozen chief ports of the country,
which always receive about 93 per
cent of tho whole number, foot up
483,11G for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1887, against only 328,895 for the
fiscal year ending with June, 188G.
The most striking feature of the
table is the great increase in
the number from Italy (47,524
against 21,503), and from Russia, Fin
land and Poland combined (36,887
against 21,706). Germany continues
largely to surpass Ireland in tho size
of its contribution, sending 106,559
people to the United States last year,
against only 08,130 from Ireland.
"Volapuk," the universal language
is prospering. Von Moltke lately ex
pressed his belief that it has. a great
future before it; and it has been
learned and is being studied by an
enormous number of persons on the
continent Last winter more than
2,000 pupils received instruction in
the language in Vienna alone. It is
claimed that Volapuk is so simple
that it can be learned in ten lessons;
and a week ago at a public examina
tion held in Vienna several pupils
who had received only nine lessons,
showed remarkable proficiency in
professor Schleier's new language.
Volapuk enjoys the very enviable dis
tinction of being the only tongue on
earth in which the rules have no ex
ceptions. There is now published at
Vienna a "Volapukagaaed" which
claims to have a large circulation
among the initiate.
SOME EDITORIAL REMARKS.
Expressions of Onr Esteemed Contempo
raries. We want pay for what we do in the
advertising line, just as n hattor
wants money for his hats, or a

conducting this paper on business

There is one party that damns the
Plaindealer because it don't say
more in favor of prohibition, and an
other party that damns it because it
says as much as it does; but the
Plaindealer says it will be con
damned if it don't say what it pleases
and when it pleases on this question.

"When the home and the tomb of
"Washington had to be saved the sub
scriptions for its purchase languished
until Edward Everett traversed the
country with his oration on Washing
ton and raised the funds needed.
Now, letRoscoe Conkliug appear wiili
an oration on Grant and complete the
monument fund. We believe that if
Mr. Conkling should come here on
such an errand he could raise a quar
ter of million in California alone. 1 1

A rumor is abroad that St. John is
to stump Oregon in favor of prohibi
tion. All decent men who remember
tho treachery of this arch hypocriie
in the campaign of 1834, will depre
cate snch a move on the part of the
prohibitionists of tho state. Nothing
but evil can follow in tho trail of such
a false guide. No self respecting Re
publican could give him a patient
hearing nud his campaigu would re
sult in incalculable injury to tho
cause ho seems to champion. It 13

The time is coming when this coun
try will have to adopt tho Australian
mode of voting. Under this system
names of all candidates are printed
on one kind of ballot furnished by
the government, and no other kind is
used, which is handed lo the voter
when he enters tho polling place, and
on which-he indicates by pencil marks
his preferences before he deposits it
An apartment is furnished voters to
which they can repair, without mo
lestation from strikers or workers at
the polls, to make out their respective
tickets. The labor party of Now
lork will press the adoption of this
syptem. The reform is one that
should commend itself to every good
oitizen, irrespective of what political
faith ho is. It would cut off a great
part ot what aro now the necessary
expenses of election, and which fur
nish a foundation for levvincr polit
ical assessments that in many cases
deoar from oince all but tho rich or
the unscrupulous. East Oreyonian
For drunken, brutal scoundrels like
the one complained of yesterday by a
suffering wife, far advanced in preg
nancy, who had been knocked down
with a bottle and beaten by her hus
band, we want the whipping post, and
want it badly. Only the whipping
post will requite and cure such bru -
tality. or these insensate monsters
the whipping post ought to be put
into the constitution of tho state,
since, under the constitution as it is,
such law would probably be rejected
as providing an unusual punishment.
Submit an amendment to the consti
tution to provide tho whipping post
for wife-beaters and ravisbers, and
give these wretches a taste of the
only argument that can reach them.
Wife-beating, if the whipping post
were to follow it, would cease to bo
an agreeable pastime. A few days in
the county jail is neither penalty nor
restrain t. Oreyonian.
Tho president has astutely man

It is a plain matter of fact that
antagonism begets antagonism, and
it is also just as plain a fact that
tne real interests of both labor and

present modo of operation seems to
do. Albany Herald.

It has been said that the British

Now that Portland markets are to
