PUIJI.IC INTUUSTH.
In 1885 Oregon had bnrcly one
hundred nnd ninety thousand peo
ple. There is u reason for this slow
increase. In tho same length of
time the hnrd, stern climate of Neb
raska received some live hundred
thousand additional souls during
which Oregon had received barely
twenty thousand The cause of this
slow growth is in tho utter indiffer
ence of our people to that wise and
liberal legislation Unit induces pop
ulation to como here, wo have no
homestead exemption law. On
that subject as on so many others,
state legislation lias listened only to
tho privnto interests of narrow
cliques. Tho day is coming when
nil this must be changed. Why
not yield gracefully now?
How Htrango that all the comfort
and interest of tho great masses of
people, tho women and children,
nro forgotten or despised while tho
schemes and prejudices of a few in
certain occupations aro favored.
Strange to say, little or no provision
has been mado to further the in
crease of llsh in our streams. Small
its this matter may seem to men of
gigantio intellect, it is yet of great
importance to tho welfare and com
fort of thu people. And not only do
wo neglect to provide for tho In
crease, we fall to protect what we
have against ruinous methods. Is
there t people in Oregon ? Then
lot their voice sound forth on tltese
and kindred subjects.
A HINECUIIACY.
The penate in its exceeding liber
ality has choser to increase tho
number of railroad commissioners
by one. We will now have three
commissioners, if it become the law,
at a salary of of twenty-five hundred
dollars each, and a clerk at two
thosand dollars, to do nothing. The
amendment proposed by Mr. Irvine
that said board shall have the power
to fix the maximum rates of freight
to be charged by the various rail
ways of the state, within tho state
between all points in the state, was
voted down. It was said that the
reduction made in 1887 diminished
the receipts of the O. R. & N. lines
by $105,000. How such calculations
are made wo do not understand.
Generally reductions increase re
ceipts by increasing business. Tho
enemies of cheap postage used to
reason in the same way. So many
million letters aro now carried at
twenty-live cents, etc, Ifyoti re
duce to ten cents you deprive the
post office of fitcen cents on so many
million letters, each. Postage is
now one and two cents and revenue
increased.
Mr. Veatch thought there1 was
nothing in the bill but salary. The
Board will cost tho Stute some ten
thousand per year. Good, fat, easy
positions for some parties.

l'llO AN1 CON.
Heavy appropriations aro made
by tho legislature and everything is
douo to increase the burdens on the
tax payers, and at thu same time
the very men who aro tho most ae
tlvoinallthe.se schemes are must
opposed to a homestead exemption
and laborers' lion. What does this
mean? Logically, it means Unit
while wo inereiuso tho revenues of
the state, wo diminish the sources
of their supply; while wo double tho
burdens on tho peoploofour state
wo do all wo can to actually dlseour
ugo immigration into our state.
Gentlemen, if you will spend money
uofieolyyou eerhiinly ought to do
nil you can to increase tho number
of your tax payers. Shame on a
(Unto like Oregon to allow itself to be
governed by a narrow minded few
who stand in oven their own light
ihy opposing such popular legislation
its would create n homestead and
Hon laws.
The National W. C. T. U. passed
a resolve that "Christ and His gos
pel shall be king and code sovereign
in our government and our political
affairs." In this kind of effort some
Roman Catholics are aiding the W.
C. T. U. As In the past innumera
ble denominations have been fight
ing, throat-cutting, burning, tortur
ing and hanging each other on dif
ferences of opinion as to points fun
damental respecting this code they
would establish for our political gov
ernment. We can hardly imagine
what sort of government we shall
have in case they succeed. That
they tolerate each other now Is ow
ing solely to the strong arm of that
free and equal constitution they
would overturn. They have procur
ed fourteen million signatures of
women and children to their peti
tion. Millions of the ignorant
colored people of the south have
signed ("or been signed"). Could
they succeed, tho consequences
would bo dreadful. But this feder
al constitution, made andmalntniu
ed by tho blood of so many heroes,
Is not to bo undermined by folly.
Tin: Senate passed Layman's
high license bill. Inasmuch us all
tho towns and villages of Oregon
aro incorporated and reguluto these
matters for themselves a license or
any other bill on this subject can
have very little eflect. Half the
people of the state aro in cities and
towns. Tho other half does its
browing and drinkiugof grog in the
towns.

Tin: restrictive Intlueneuot a tax
nu a product of labor is shown in
the statistic of thu tobacco crop of
iuo United States. This crop had
toon doubling every ten years up to
the year 1802 when thu heavy tax
was imposed. In 1S30 thu product
was ono hundred million lbs. ; in
1840 two hundred millions, in 1R50
four hundred millions, and now it
hardly exceeds that amount, where
iw it nhould bo over two billion
pound. Suoli a tax weighs on tho
urmof lubor with paralysing force,

linasugtir and thu trust combines to
ralso its price, liavo diminished tho
product of sugar to less than it was
in 1853.

Colt's Tooth.
There is one curious fact in con
nection with a colt's teeth which I
have never seen printed. It is this :
Unless he has his front upper teeth
ho cannot use his tongue nor obtain
his natural nourishment. Wo lost
several young colts before the discov
ery was mado that they starved to
death. They will not suck unless
they havo their upper teeth. We
were told to rub tho teeth through
with any hard substance, and did
so with satisfactory results, will
somo veterinary surgeon explain
why a colt nppears to bo unable to
use his tongue without those front
teeth ? Pacific Farmer.
