4 Dailv ilcmocrsst A VISIT TO TUB CAPITAL. A Democrat roan took a Bring viit to the tate capital Tuesday and took a peep into legislative doings. Very many people ol Salem ay we have a"good Legislature." Thoie who furnish supplies to the state and Its various institutions all wear a self sati fied air. The subordinate employes of the two houses chuckle gleefully, as they as ure you In their blandest style that this is a "good Legislature." A member of thi august body who represents a constituency that pays taxes to the state Amounting 10 about $6,800. and who has a bill appropriat ing $1 2,000 to build a local wagon road.and who has been assured by the "combine ' that it shall pass, says, as he shakes your hand with unwonted heartiness.tha' this s a "good Legislature." A gentleman who represents a county that pays $1,200 tax has a bill appropriating $S,ooj to build hU people a wigon road. Tho assurances which he receives from the "combine'thai this bill shall pass inspires him to say 111. this Is a "good Legislature." The profc. . sional lobbyist stalks through the corridor, aisles and passage ways of the capital wait ing confidently for the fruition of his work. It will be seen that those who think this is a "good Legislature" are '.hey who expect ! be the beneficiaries of its work. The delegation from Multnomah led by Joe Simon are almost supremely happy . They occupy the vantage ground and they pro pose to reap its rich harvest. Joe Simon dominates the delegation with a kingly hand and the delegation dominates its party rep-, resentatives from all sections of the state.Jor is the most absolute boss his party has ever had in this state. Those who formerly protested against his rule have been com pletely subjugated. Legislative action ha advanced far enough to develop the fact that legislation will be controlled a. d ili. rected by the "ring." The member h stands in with the ring may be successful in securing legislation which he thinks -would redound to the public weal, but he mar have to sacrifice his conscience to do so. Unless the present bent of things shall be changed this Legislature will appropri ate $200,000 more money than has eyer been done before. It is altogether proba ble that there will be a large increase in the next state tax levy. Someaitonithlng facts about the lack o education among the people of South Car olina have been brought out during the debate in the Legislature on the constitu tional amendment providing that no man unable to read shall be allowed to vote. It has been shown that not far from 15.000 u hite men and three times as many color ed men would be disfranchised by the adoption of the amendment. The vote of outh Carolina is usually smaller than that of an 1 other state in proportion to its pop ulation, and the enforcement of the meas ure now under consideration by the Legib lature would reduce it to about a half of its magnitude in recent elections. The least instructed elements of the population cf 1 he Palmetto state are the colored people .t'ong the seaboard and the whites in the numntaneous northern region J but the hool facilities are inadequate in all quart e - i'.J tiie expenditures for education are im ono-tt-nth what they ought to be. A Fine Book. Probably no book that has ever been introduced in Albany is of more real value than Cram's Family Atlas of the World. Besides a geography of the world in splendidly gotten up maps are departments devoted to history, political events, comparative debts, wealth.rellgious denominations, etc., in well gotten up and compact tables. Going with the work is the Geographical News, a paper giving the latest eeoeraphlcal events of the world. A young gentleman Is now canvassing the 'city for this work, which deserves a good patronage. . , .. We will sell you groceries cheaper than any one eire. Brown Kixfc Stanard PIKU. SNOIiDERLY. At Asetin, W. T., on Ian, 22nd, Mrs. Rev. Snodderly, aged 38 years. The deceased was a daughter of Hon. F.C. Hansard, of Lebanon precinct, and was a woman of great Christian purity ot character. Tne mu.it imnortant fact brought out by the dt-'vite ov,:r the senate tariff bill is that the Re- iicAn p.irty 13 irredeemably pledged to the oiicv of high luxation. In view of the uncom- romisiug attitude of Republican senators on the tariff question the impressinn that extreme protection views would be abandoned after the election is rapidly vanishing. The manufac- urers propose to do some "fat -frying" now. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE. The evils of unrestricted immigration are too apparent and too dangerous longer to be Ignored. The good are welcome, but the felon, pauper, murderer, anarchist and disorderly must keep out, or soon those who are here will become contaminated, and as the taxpayers decrease in north and number the public charges will multiply until posterity will rise up to curse us, Theie is but one simple, inexpensive way to check this vicious flood and keep out professional conspirators, as well as the helpless scum. 1 he naturalized and native American have an equal interest in this. Let Congress take hold of the emigration problem and levy a duty or fee upon im ported labor as well as the products of for . elgn labor. Let those who would came to this country to enjoy its liberty, its insti tutions, its matchless resources ,pay for the privilege for themselves and their children If it is worth having it Is worth Investing in. A fee of $200 per head, or at least $100, would save us from building asylumi and prisons for the dejraved of Europe from supplying immer.se police forces and courts and hospitals and charities ; from robbing labor of its employment and dues from nurturing treason and conspiracy ,and eventually from the overthrow of popular Institutions entirely. Public Printer Benedict's report for 18S8 presents some interesting figures. Among ether things it shows that over 22,000,000 envelopes were printed for the use of the Fiftieth Congress during its first session Millions of these were used by members In sending out tons of their printed speech cs to beloved constituencies. The office new uses daily about twenty tons of paper, and turned out Si9,6oS bound books durin the last six months of the year. Nearly 4,500,000 pounds of printing and writin. papers were consumed during a period of six months of the year. Uncle Sam printing office appears to be doing a pretty fair business, tariff or no tariff. 1 New Grocery Discovered A prominent Buffalo physician is an enthusi ast on the subject of onions. He feeds them to his children daily, says they re the best medi cine for preventing colds, and adds: "Feed onions raw, boiled or baked, to the children three and four times i week, and they4U grow up healthy and strong.
