RIGHTLY SPOKEN.
Tn Senator J. II. Mitchell’s speech be
fore tho United States senate on the
‘‘Improvement of Rivers and Haibors
•if the Pacific Northwest,” he winds up
by paying Oregon a neat tribute in these
words: “In conclusion I may be permit
ted to say that with the completion of
the commercial improvements now un
der way in aourthern Oregon, nt Coos
Bay, for which $45,090 is provi led in this
bill, tlie Coquille river, for winch $20,-
000 is inserted, and others yet to be in
augurated nt J’oit Orfoid, Umpqua, and
other important points; villi the com
pletion of the small gap to complete
railroad connection between Oreg > ii and
California; ami the proposed improve
ment, for which u b'll is pending in the
senate, for shortening the route and re
ducing the grade of the military wagon
road between the Rogue river and the
Klamath countries, and the construction
of branch and intersecting lines of rail
road into south-eastern Oregon; with
government recognition of Crater Lake
park, the grandest natural park on the
face of the earth—we except none ; with
fraudulent wagon road grants w iped out
of existence by judicial decrees; we may
expect th# people of that stale, in all its
sections and in every locality, whoso vi
tal interests it is my bounden duty a-
well as my great pleasure to aid in ad
vancing and promoting be-e, to throw
off the fetters of commercial bondage
that have so materially impeded their
progress in the past, brush aside the
cloud of isolation peculiar to all pioneer
countries,^ind which through all these
years bus measurably enshrouded them
in its discouraging mists, and darkened
and obscured the path of their progress;
to assert their independence of and de-
‘clnre their triumph over every impedi
ment I hat has heretofore delayed and
obsti ueted them in their patient, honest,
persistent, ami noble efforts to establish
on the shore of the Pacific a groat ein
pire of civilization, an independent and
powerful state, wl ich shall acknowledge
no-mantor, no dictator, or recognize no
superior in all that pertains to social,
commercial, ami political equality, inde-
pendenue, and power, save that grand
entity—the national government, the
union of States, the Ameiicnn republic
—of which it is to-day no inconsiderable
factor, and of winch in the no distant
future it is destined to become so an ex
ceptionally important and highly influ
ential a constituent part.”
While there is so much being said
about prohibition of the liquor traffic,
there is another thing that should not he
overlooked—a practice that is doing as
much if not more harm among our
young mon to-day than the rnm traffic,
The practice of cigarette smoking is
that to which we refer. Show us an ha-
bitual cigarette smoker (of which there
are many in all parts of tho country) and
we will show you a boy or man with
scarcely energy enough to drag one foot
after the other and with very little am
bition in any dilection. It has been but
a few years since the accursed things
were first introduced, and vet llm prac
tice of smoking them has become so gen
eral that before a bov fairly enters his
teens he is pntllng awav at them—on
the sly—and before his patents know it
lie is a slave to their alluring power.
Not only are they harmful in themselves
but they create an appetite for some
thing stronger, and it is thus that many
are led into tin1 practice of pa-taking of
the ibegs of the flowing bowl. Tins
evil should be squelched, and the soon
er the better.
The Enqui er says: Those.who imag
ino that Blaine is out of polities will find
themselves mistaken. He is prepaiing
an assault upon the present administra
tion in regard to the conduct of the de
partment of state.
Within the last few
days Im has sent to the ca >itol for a
large li d of executive documents, copies
of official communications to congress
from tlie president and dilleibnt depart
ments. This indicates that he is pre
paring for an aggressive campaign, lie
Ims got a complete list of the pension
vetoes and appropriation acts, including
river and harbor act, documents relat
ing to tariff, coinage of silver, conduct
of treasury department in legaid to re
ducing surplus, and other subjects upon
which the democratic party, congress
and the administration are not agreed
His largest demands have been for doc
uments relating to the state department.
He has obtained the correspondence
concerning the fisheries troubles with
Canada and the imprisonment of Cutting
in Mexico, and copies of new treaties
and old treaties with England an I other
countries.
11ÍE I'KESIDI.XT'X SALA BY.
A Voice from Sodaville.
Apropos of 11 io White house, and its
relation to the general appropriation bill,
an exchange says: It is wondered by
some people how the president of the
United Stales can pav out of his salary
the numerous expenses attached to liis
ofl'n-e. There are separate appropriations.
Besides tlie president’s salary of $50,000,
the estimate presented to congress this
session asked for $.'>6,(164 additional to
pay lhe salaries of his subordinates and
clerks. His private secretary is paid
$3,1i)0; liis assistant private secretary,
$2,250; bis stenographer, $1,800; five
messengers, each $1,2 i X>; a steward, $1,-
800; two door-keepers, w ho receive each
$1,20.1; four other clerks at good sala
ries, one telegraph operkor, two ushers
getting $1,20(1 and $1,400; a night usher,
getting $1,200; a watchman, who gets
$900; a jnan to take care of the fires,
who rece ves $864 a year. In addition to
this there is set down $8,000 for inciden
tal expenses, such as stationery, carpets
and tlip care ot the president's stables.
\nd further on, under another heading,
there is a demand for nearly $40,000 more.
< If this $12,000 is for repairs and furnish
ing the White h ruse, $2,500 for fuel, $3,-
■
is for the green-house, and $15,000 is
for gas and the stables. The White house

with the president, considerably over

W est Sing T elkphonk :—I left Mc
Minnville August 8 for the above named
place in search of-health, oi course, and
have mendod every day from the time of
leaving till arriving brie. Have a very
desirable place to camp—the little peb
ble stones about the size of peck measure
are only two feet deep, and fleas a foot
deep. Struck camp last night and tlio’t
we would have a good night's lest, but
had not been in bed long before the
horse started up such a fuss that I had
to get up and move him about two hun
dred yards from camp; had no more
than got to l ed again when an old sow
came around and began to loot over the
camp equipage. J got tip and drove hei
away and went back to bed again: hard
ly straightened out in bed when aiftild
cow with a bell on came around and be
gan to pull tlie feathers out from under us
that 1 had taken the pains to go in the
field after where some good Samai itan
had been threshing. I got tip and drove
her away and again returned to my bed.
The next noise 1 heard was some of the
neighbors’ chickens on the table. My
wife said it was time to get up, which
suggestion I followed out, and was of
course very much refreshed after my
night’s rest.
This is a very nice place; nice people
and a nice surrounding country, and as
for the soda water, I think it beats that
at tho St. ( buries, and doesn't cost 21.,
cents a drink either. So put a stop to

A CORNER ON SILVER.
The Salt Lake Tribune lias hit upon a
big scheme. It is nothing less than a
combination to get up a corner on the
silver product. If such a corner had
boon made a year ago, and taken all tlie
silver that was dug from the mines, it
would have cost $38,000,000. Great
Britain would have bad to have $16.000,-
000 more than all the mines outside of
the United States could have furnished,
and our government would have been
forced to purchase $24,000,000. The
question naturally arises where would

porters. Had tho purchase and board
ing of this amount been begun a year
OF-
ago,.by this time silver would have ad
vanced 15 per cent. With that kept up
for another year nothing could have
prevented gold and silver assimilating McMinnville,
Oregon,

The Tribune’s editorial on money and
business says : Since the adjournment of

nearly 23 per cent, at New York, in
spite of a great decline in stock transac
