THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GILLIAM
COUNTY, OREGON.
THE STATE MILITIA.
, The following from the East Or
egonian is not very complimentary
to the militia boys:
"Among other expenditures that
could easily be dispensed with is
the appropriation made for the sup
port of the state militia. This or
namental adjunct to the state gov
eminent has already cost consider
able money without rendering any
equivalent in return, and will want
a good -deal more this winter than
ever. They will want funds with
which to buy uniforms and other
paraphernalia, and to defer the ex
penses of an annual encampment.
If their demands are granted, as
they probably will be through cow
ardice on the part of legislators
who may want their votes next
time, they will be encouraged to
come back two years hence with
still larger claims, and so the sup
port of the state militia will be an
ever-increasing burden.
There being no extensive manu
factories in this state from which
disturbances arise, as the strikes in
Pennsylvania and New York, the
chances; are probably a hundred
to one that they will never be
needed, and there is no doubt that
they will cost the taxpayers very
much more than their services will
ever be worth.
In the first place it is very im
probable that any trouble will arise
in this state that cannot be success
fully managed by the civil author
ities. A sheriff of a county has
large powers, and all the citizens of
his county are at his command in
cases of emergency. It would be
difficult to imagine a disturbance
or scene of lawlessness in Umatilla,
or Marion, or even Multnomah
county, that the respective sheriffs
of those counties, aided by the
courts and the posses they might
summon, could not put down in
short order. "
Then the policy of maintaining a
large body of militia is objectiona
ble, ae a tacit confession that it is
necessary, that the civil authorities
axe inefficient and incompetent, and
that our government can only be
maintained by force of arms. With
a weak or inflammable governor
there is more danger to the state
in the probability of the militia be
ing called out to do mischief and to
enforce wrong than in the want of
it when really needed. The militia
law furnishes a "soft job" for a few
pap-suckers, and fills some small
souls with a cheap variety of van
ity, and beyond this it is generally
of little value."
People not residing on forfeited
railway lands they desire to pur
chase are warned not to delay con
templated filings. A dispatch from
Washington ' says that in both
bouses of congress efforts have been
made to relieve persons who have
claims upon lands forfeited within
the railroad grants. Senator Dolph
said that persons not actually re
siding on their land, and entitled to
purchase forfeited "railroad lands,
should make entry and payment for
their lands at once, and not depend
on legislation , extending the time.
He has not succeeded in getting" a
report upon his bill in the senate
from the interior department as yet
and is not sure of securing favorable
consideration of bill in the senate.
He has learned from Mr. Hermann
that there is no possibility of pass
ing the bill in the house. He makes'
this statement to warn purchasers
not to permft the time to expire
without completing there purcha
ses.; , . ;.
Cleveland will have 180,000 of
fices to give his friends after the 4th
of March. If he works Sundays
And all, he can get through reward
ing democrats in 12 months, by ap
pointing 494 every day. This will
keep him pretty bupy if he ex
amines into the qualification of each
iMKCiicUte.
Sunday Welcome: It is estima
ted that there will be 10,000 Or
egonians visit the world's fair at
Chicago next year. The transpor
tation and other expenses inciden
tal to the trip will average 1400 to
each person, which means the
immense sum of $4,000,000 taken
from the state. Hundreds have
been making weekly savings for
months in order to visit the fair,
and the stringency of the times and
closeness" of money is in a great de
gree attributable to the withdrawal
of this money from circulation.
The foreign born citizens seem to
take more interest than others in the
coming fair and are making many
preparations to make the Chicago
trip next summer.
We learn that a bill is being pre
pared for presentation to the State
Legislature, now in session at Sa
lem, the chief feature of which is to
deprive school districts of the power
to levy taxes for school purposes,
and substituting therefor a scheme
wherefor the County courts of each
county in the state would have au
thority to levy such taxes the same
as they do now for state and coun
ty purposes. This method of rasing
school funds is in vogue in many of
the eastern stateB, and we believe it
would be a step in the right direc
tion if the Oregon Legislature would
intorduce it this state.
At a New Jersey . prayer meeting
during the heat of the last cam
paign, a republican brother prayed
that his party would hang together;
whereupon a democrat responded,
"Amen! Amen!" Back came the for
mer with the emendation to his
prayer. "Not in the sense our dem
ocratic brother means, hut in the
spirit of accord and concord." "Any
cord will do, Lord, any coroVwill
do, only so they hang," 6houted
the democrat. You can now see
a sign up in this church, "Positively
no reference to politics permitted in
prayers in this church.
,,. Oregon furnishes an instance that
recalls the account of the proceed
ings of the Scientific Society of the
Stanislaus. A skull was digged up
at Baker City believed to be of pre
historic man, photographs taken,
and one of them sent to Professor
Condon, naturalist of the State Un
iversity, for interesting study and
scientific essay. The professor
quickly declared the palpable classi
fication. -It had belonged to an ox
of very thick skull and very little
brain. The sender much the same.
"If the drinking habit is a disease,
why don't men afflicted with it
have themselves treated by a physi
cian?" "They don't object to being
treated by a physician. Men af
flicted with that disease are willing
to be treated by anybody." N. Y.
Press. .
With the announcement of the
suicide of Samuel Long of Seattle,
comes the statement that no reason
but drink is known. As the final
drink was a cooktaiL made mostly of
strychnine, no others reason would
seem to be absolutely necessary.
The electoral votes are assigned
to the States not on the basis of votes
cast by the people,, but according to
population as determined by the
census. The ratio of the present
apportionment is one electoral vote
for every 173,901 inhabitants.
A current newspaper item tells of
a printer who hanged himself with
the office towel. It is probably un
true. If a printer wanted to com
mit suicide with the office towel he
would be obliged to club himself to
aeatn.
A Vermont editor assumes that
his delinquent subscribers must be
dead; since he does not hear from
them, and accordingly writes up
obituary notices of them. It brings
them to. ' - "
