From SpringBeld Illinois, toe bonus of tbe great eraanoipator, ia re fleeted pioture of tbe horrible atrocities of mob violenoe, that vies with tbe thoroughness of execution aud rampant vengeanoe the negro riots of tbe Southern states, with few ex oeptiooa. It takes bat the perpetra Uod of the devilish act on tbe patt of a uegro rape fiend to set boiling tbe blood in the veins of tbe Northern man who fongbt to free tbe black man from the shuckles of slavery. Tbe same Llood which 45 years ago wet tbe sands of Shiloh field in defease of tbe negro in oivll war conflict with the South eru brother, last week trickled in SpringQeld gutters bot aud clamorous .; for tbe lives of tbe bjack race. ' Thus with tbe coming of tbe black man to the North, is shifted scenes Ibat fo years tbe Southern states have repeat edly euaoted in loyalty to mothers an daughters. The oojor line is pushing Northward, and in defense of woman mob violenoe will be found to act as quickly and be as bard to control as it "is in tbe South. Wherever tbe two "I races meet, aud a Hack, treacherous . wretob despoils a white woman, ven - geauoe will be found too swift for law and court to intercept, save to protect i innooeut blucks from annihilation. Down in Yoakum, Texas, a new paper was launched upon tbe publio a i short time ago. Tbe publisher was an original fellow and in tbe first issue directed tbe following bit of humor to his readers: "I have no earthly excuse to offer for foisting this paper upon an aususpeoting and outraged publio but a fiendish delight iu witnessing human Buttering. It is malice preme ditated. Iu fact I've been hoping, trusting, waiting, praying and laving for a a opportunity to vent my spleen, Whether yoa do or do not like che pa per doesn't ooaoern me iu tbe least, That's your business, not mine. All I want you to do is to suhsoribe for it, 'lhe price one dollar per annual, pay able at tbe front eud of tbe per an uum, wbioh is about ton times more ., than tbe thing is worth hut if after " reading it you decide you do not want it, mail it back to me postpaid, and I'll keep tbe dollar and sell tbe paper to someone else. This may uot look like business to you, but it is to me aud about tbe best I have to otler. This ia tbe truuk of a young girl. It contains the poor, but "honest garb she wore when she ran away from . home; also the gay clothes she bought after a wicked ambition had poisoned ber simple dealt. It is tbe gaudy raiment and llasby trapping for wbioh she ex changed ber honest laugh aud bright aud beautiful youth.

Edgar Wilson Nye. Dhu Hen-en, who died a few days ago at, bis home iu Washington, was ouo oft ho party that fouud the Blue Bucket mine. It was during tbo jour-, uey from Missouri to Oregon iu 18-15, when the emigrant train had lost its way aud was wandering among the beadwateis of the Malheur river that l)uu Ilerreu pioked up tbe pieces of yellow metal that gave rise to all of tbo goldeu stories of tbe Blue Bucket mines. He himself later searched for the spot, and hundreds of otbors have devoted much time to (be quest, but the location has never agaiu beeu discovered. Iu Pennsylvania tbe food commis sioner says foods are beoonuug much put or. He snys that eight years ago SO per cent of the foods purohaaed by tbe department on tbe market were adulterated. Today but 3 to 5 per cent are adulterated. Pennsylvania bag a strict food iaupoction law aud it is en forced probuily rigidly as in any star iu the union. Even the "unspeakable Turk" bas determined at last on a constitutional government Tbe world certainly does move towards demooraoy. You may be sure tbe independent party is not expecting to out muoh ioe, or Mr. Hearst would bnve bad himself nominated for president PROHIBITION ON TRIAL. Hundreds of men in Umatilla county voted prohibition last June for the first time. They did not do so with tbe expectation that "prohibition would prohibit." It doesn't. Liquor will be consumed just tbe same, but not in snob large quantities and not with the open countenance and encouragement of tbe law. Hugo Munstreiug, student and writ er along psychological lines, admits the evils resulting from legalized liquor traffic, but fears the inoroase of "soli tary drinking" uoder prohibition. He, regards tbe solitary drinker as more dangerous to sooiety and less ameuable to reform tban tbe gregarious and so ciable individual who wants to drink with the orowd and "set 'em up" when bis turn comes. This is only true in part. The soli tary diinker is an enemy only to him self and to bis immediate domestio circle. If be chooses to drink himself to death, his passiug will not be re garded by tbe general publio as an un mitigated calamity. Moreover, be is apt to be frowned upon by sooiety, and also walued upon, figuratively, with spikes iu its shoes. His vice is not a populai one. When be appears on the street in an inebriated condition, tbe tendenoy will be to regard bim as a pubilo nuisanoe. Not so with the "good fellow" un der tbe saloon regime. Intending no barm, be iu faot does a great deal by influencing others through bis convi vial instinct for treating. He wants everybody to drink with bim and have a good time. Deprived of tbe licensed saloon as an iucentivo to good fellow ship; compelled if he wauts a drink to gum-shoe his silent way into a "speak easy" or slily remove tbe blinkers from a "blind pig," drinking loses its attraction for bim and be becomes a useful member of sooiety. Iu this county prohibition is enti tled to a fair trial and a square deal. Tbeu, if it proves a failure in lessening tbe drink evil to an appreciable de gree, many men who voted for it tbe first time will again give their support to the licensed saloon system. The sale of "near beer" so near to real beer that tbe need of tbe distinctive adjective is uot apparent, should be disoooraged by tbe strong arm of tbe law. So-called "clubs" where liquor is dispensed one of which is said to flourish at Pendleton should be raid ed aud put. out of business. This work is tbe plain duty of tbe law's represen tatives. If tbey are unable or unwill ing to perform it, others should be elected who will. Also, for tbe sake i of tbeii cause, it is manifestly tbe part I $42,000 Takes one of the Best Ranches In Umatilla county S2 down, balance payment on easy terms.

Take advantage of it and get in on ft (a of wisdom for sincere prohibitionist leaders to aid tbe offloers in securing evidenoe of law evasion. So far In Umatilla county there bas been muob less drunkenness and fewer en est s than under tbe saloon system. Munioipal taxation will be higher for a time, of course. This must be expected- Meanwhile publio welfare demands that boys should not be per mitted to frequent "near beer" resorts and tbat no "near beer" should be tolerated wbiob tests more tban one per oent alooboL As a beverage, it is permissible; as an intoxicant, unlaw ful. Those who sell intoxicants under tbe guise of "near beer" are malefac tors, pure and simple, and are entitled to no countenance from tbe community. No law prevents crime, but fear of tbe law is a great deterrent. It now remains to te demonstrated whether tbe prohibition law is a genuine club or a stuffed stocking, wnetber it is to be feared or ridiculed and despised. Weston Leader.
