The Oregonian eays that national
lnuiks have outlived their useful
ness. Is Brother Scott going over
to the populists? Welcome.
The horrors of becoming an old
maid or bachelor is dawning upon
the coming generation with re
markable force. There is a young
lad of Stayton, 15 years old, on
gaged to a girl of 14, to be married
6ve years hence. Stayton Times.
The Cherokee Btrip is being in
vaded by boomers, hundreds of
whom were seen there Wednesday,
encamped along the lines of the
Atchison fc Tokeka. Troops are
out after them.
Cleveland hits the populists the
quickest and hardest blow yet de
livered. He says that the citizen
is sworn to support the govern
ment, but Mrs. Lease wants the
government to support the people.
That's hot. Welcome.
The New Orleans men are nat
urally sportive, but they love good
women more. The ladies Baid the
lottery must go and it went. Now
they have declared egaiust pugil
ism and the gallant Southerners
have turned their becks on this
physical style of enjoyment.
Gov. Pennoyer has not given
great voice to one of his peculiarly
characteristic braysabout "pluto
crats" fur two whole days. That
is a good way to begin a reforma
tion, but Sylvester will have to lie
very low in the future if he wishes
to hide his ears. Roseburg Re

.. The California legislature Sub
mitted a resolution to the vote of
the people providing f"f the remov
al of the capital from Sacramento
tii San Jose. It is very likely to
carrv, and San Joje, which was
once" the seat of government for
that state, is likely to have it
'azain. .
The onlv real difference of opin
io!) wlmsh has yet arisen between
Jir. Cleveland "and his cabinet is
said to have been caused when the
president asked Hoke Smith and
Bisse'.l to wear mustaches and
thus not look so boyish as now.
TV- mnlied, however, that they
,.j it if Grover would wear
a beard. The decision reached is
nut yet announced.
President Cleveland evidently
reached information of the awful
struggle for office in Oregon and
to avoid trouble for himseif quietly
announced that Senator Vilas
would attend to distributing the
loaves and fishes in the webfoot
state. The senator will soon real
' ize the delicacy ol his position, as
the hord of oflice-seekers are pre
paring to swoop down upon him.
If to survives the seige he will
have good cause for congratula
tion. Mercury.
The Indianapolis News says that
a certain larm editor received the
following story and sent it to the
cuno coiumn collector, woo return
ed it because he knew it stated
facta and no fiction: A horticul
turist had missed many apples
every r.ight. Finally he set a
watch, expecting to trap his neigh
bor's boys. Jn the dim night light
he saw limbs of apple trees shak
ing, and then he heard the fruit
fulling. He had seen no one enter
the orchard. Non-plused he crept
up to tiie shaking tree. He saw a
hedgehog descend from the tree,
roll over on the apples until its
back was laden with the fruit at
tached by the quills, and wabble
off. The farm editor didn't doubt
the story, but wondered what an
insect-eating animal wanted with
apples. ''For the worms," triumph
antly explained the curio man.
CITY AFFAin:.".
The Express calls special atten
tion to the proceedings of the city
council, published in another coi
umn, and notes with pleasure that
they propose to hold the officers of
the city to a strict accountability
for the faithful performance of their
respective duties.
The action of the counoil in in
structing the license, committee to
notify saloonists and. their bonds
men, that hereafter the licensed
dram shops must be run within
the provisions of the ordinances
under which their licenses are is
sued, iB one that will receive the
hearty commendation of all good
citijens, who, with the Express, say
that if these pluces must be run at
all within our city limits it iB not
demanding from their proprietors
anything but what the city author
ities should sternly enforce, when
they assert that the laws governing
them will be rigidly carried out.
We believe a majority of onr cit
izens doubt the wisdom of the
council preceding the present one,
in repealing Ordinance No. 1, under
the new charter, requiring a major
ity of the voters within the corpo
rate limits petitioning the council
in favor of issuing a license before
the same Bhould be granted by the
propor authorities. The Expuesb
at that time, with many of our cit
izens, took the view that to prevent
strife and bickering among our peo
ple when petitions and remon
strances were causing bucIi a furore
that a repeal of that ordinance
would be conducive to to the peace
and quietude of Lebanon, and hon
estly and faithfully we labored for
its repeal. , ,
Recent tragical and shameful
occurrences within our once peace
ful town are causing people of
broad opinions aud liberal views to
ask each other the cause that has
so lately brought our town into
such fearful notoriety. The ques
tion iB tasily answered.
The people of the city of Lebanon
have confidence in their city oflicers
and believe they will fearlessly dis
charge their vrliole duty in the mat
ter and the Express heartily joins
with the people in wishing our city
officers God speed in their determi
nation to cnrrv out to the fullest
extent of the" law the ordinances
of the city, governing the liquor
traffic. . .
President Cleveland has caused
consternation among the army of
ex-ollice holders who liave neseigca
Washingtun demanding that they
again be allowed to feed at the
public trough, by announcing that
the rule of this administration
shall be that those who held office
during his former torm will not
again be appointed to office so long
as there are parties of equal quali
fications aspiring to the positions
which they ask. He thinkB one
term of office sufficient to satisfy
the greed of the average man, and
believes in passing honors aud
lucrative positions around among
those who are both faithfhl and
competent.
The roads in the country as a
rule are worse than they have
been for years. Wheie they were
thrown up and graveled they are
fine and solid. Let's gravel some
more this summer; next summer
some more; and the next summer
some more and so on till we get
them all graveled. In Oregon
