COMMUNICATED. Salem, March 19. Editor Capital Jouknal. Your cviddnt sympathy with the principle of prohibition and your fairness in discussion encourage me to ask again the favor of your col umns for a friendly criticism of your own posltiou and for such a vindi cation of the wisdom of partisan ac tion as I may be able to offer., First, in an editorial published last Tuesday, you ask what we ex pect to do without the aid of one or the other of the two great parties-rand answer your question by s-aying: "of course nothing." Your answer is not right. Now, let me guess. In the lirst place, our ample expe rience with both old parties forbids us to hope for aid from either as a party ; but we conildently hope for the support of thousands of the best men from both parties, and, with their aid, we expect to redeem Ore gon and the nation from their pres ent thralldom. You further say: "It is also true that every measure for the restriction of the liquor traf fic or for its total abolition, that has l)een brought forward in a northern htate, has originated in and has been championed by the republican party, while the democratic party has thrown every possible obstacle in its way," If tills comparison of the two old parties were just, it would in some measure justify republican prohis in hoping for relief from their own party and render partisan ac tion of doubtful propriety. Hut, un fortunately for your position, the Voice of March 1st, contains a state mentin tabular form of all the states which have adopted and which have repealed prohibitory legisla tion under each of these parties from which statement it appears that ten states and territories sev en of them northern have adopted prohibition while under the demo cratic rule, and ten states, all northern liave adopted while un der republican rule ; also, that the republicans liave repealed in ten states, while the democrats have re pealed in only live. These facts prove two tfhings: first, that neither of the old paruefuis worthy of a pro hi's cmiJffde,ncoseeond, that the republican is thelcss worthy of the two. Yet, in Saturday's labile, you mention among "cardinal republi can principles" "protection for Ameriuan homes against the saloon. An increasing warfare upon It by the most effective methods." I would be glad to believe tills to be among the dearly cherished princi ples of the party it is worthy -to be there but-is It there? On the con- trary, in the -national republican platform, its place is occupied by "The Roster Resolution" You can not lind It in your state platform. Is the character of your leaders, Joe Simon, ftarvey Scott, the eity couu cil of Salem and their late distin guished host sucli as to warrant your party in claiming the princi ple? J would like to reply to "Prohi" but have sufficiently taxed .yourjjen eroslty. Besides, everybody iknows that the defeat of Judge Waldo was due to the action of whiskey repub licans under a competent leader.and not to the prohis, who withdrew their own candidate in .order that the temperance vote might iiiot be divided. Party spirit seems to me to be the worst enemy of prohibition, and the situation will be very hopeful when men generally discover that their allegiance is due to good prin ciples rather than to party names that have ceased to represent these principles. J. C. Jouv. STATE NOTES. Myrtle Creek people talk of Iwild mgn academy this summer. , Rosebur'g will, in alj probability, havea woolen mill this summer. A vast amount of grain lias lieen sown, says the Jacksonville Times. Thefctnlwurt young men of Drain, Douglas county, are organizing a a base hall nine, Farmers around Spring Ranch, Wasco county, will soon bo 'done seeding wheat, oats and barley. $50,000 hotel on the Long Itnmch and Saratogo style is to lie built by eastern eapitaJUtH at Hea View. ' ; ' , ' At fl oVilook , Sunday ovenhig a man named .Sawyer dropped dead on the Sandy road nlxnit a mile and a half from Hast Portland. The cause of death was heart disease. It has been decided in Clackamas county to bridge the Willamette river at Progon City. The bridge, when completed, yrll cast. $80,000. CiHckamas county will furnish fff, 000 and Oregon City the balance. Work will be coinmouced immedi ately, and the citizens ox pec t to have It completed tliis summer. Around Spicer, in Linn county, the farm work has been suspended for a time on account of rainy weather. Quite an amount of grain was sown during the recent good weather. Monmouth, Polk county, corres pondence says that farmers have been congratulating over the fine weather- .of the jiast few weeks. They are, inalargemajorityj through seeding the spring sowing. Nearly a car load of very line, large work cattle were bought in this vicinity tills week, by J. M. Lammons Esq., of Olympia, "W. T., at a rate of nearly $200 per yoke. It pays to raise good cattle here. Drain Echo. In the vicinity of Camp Creek, Lane County, farmers and hop growers are taking advantage of the few davs of nice weather and are plowing, sowing and setting hop poles. This line of spring work will soon have been finished in this vicipity. Walter R. Vivian, engineer of the Portland lire engine No. 4, while acting as driver of the hose cart on Sunday, was thrown off by the team running against the curbing and would probably have been kill ed by the heavy cart had he not fallen into the unusually large catch basin or gutter that happened to be at that particular street corner. It was a narrow escape. The Leader says of the old Ben ton county jail: "After being con demned by successive grand juries, the old jail is now to bo sold to the highest bidder. It has covered many an aching heart, criminal though it may have been, and its walls, could they speak, could tell a tale to harrow men's souls. It has long been a disgrace, not only to Benton county, but to civilization. U bat They Derided. The fish commissioners have de cided that no salmon of any kind or description shall be caught during the close season. It has "been the custom hitherto to tisli for salmon at Oregon City during Marcli and it was learned yesterday, saysTriday's News, that parties were catching fish there at present. To-day h Mr. Thompson will leave for vQregrjn City to investigate.the matter, and if on inquiry it is found that the law has been violated the parties will be arrested and prosecuted. Governor Pennoyer's attention has been called to the Oregon City matter and it Is probable that he, too, will look Into it and give it his personal attention. The fish commissioners think that express companies and their agents are as much interested in enforcing the fish law its any other portion of the community is, for the reason that if the salmon become extinct through ceaseless fishing, It means loss to the express companies. The fish commissioners, therefore, think that the express people should refuse to carry salmon during the present month. It is against the law to catch the fish, and the ex press companies should, therefore, refuse to transport them for this reason alone, if no other existed. If this was done it would go a long way towards preventing illegal fishing. Mr. Thompson stated that the law is generally being well observed. A few complaints were made about parties fishing on the lower Colum bia but those who filed them were in no case willing to swear out complaints for the reason that the information -came to them second handed.
