a itour.ii path.
About an fust us bud, old Institu
tions are abollsliod, new ones arise,
become powerful iind oppress the
people. You cannot, assail anynd
mlttcd evil without odending peo
ple who nro making money out of
it. Every reform, Just like every
labor-saving muehlne, takes bread
or money from some person. Slavery
has been abolished but other evils
have grown mighty in its stead.
Slavery was tho monopoly of labor
directly. Naturally tho slave master-spirit
seeks to own it indirectly.
What is tho difference between own-
in ir. tho laborer's body and owning
tho means whereby that body ex
ists?' What shall the lover of his
kind do when confronted by these
questions? Let him lovo the truth
only and ho guided by the plainest
common sense. Let him say even
as tho great Luther said when intim
idated by tho persons of power on
one sldo and tempted by its cunning
Jluttcrcrs and promises on the other,
"God help mo. Here I stand. I
do no other."
LI I'M ON OTIIKIl PLANETS.
Meaning human lile. Wo notice
an artlclo on this subject going the
rounds. It concludes that as there
was onco no human lifo on this
planet it is probable there Is none on
many other planets: that as man Is
but of yesterday compared with the
ago of the earth, thero may bo none
on any other planet, Hut this Is
reasoning as though tho number of
planets 1b limited. Now, although
we cannot comprehend Infinity, yet
wo can make a few feeblo steps to
ward approaching It. We see that
nature, tho universe, Is infinite. No
matter how far wo go wo still see be
yond us Infinite space overspread by
Ht'urry hosts. Therefore, If but one
planet out of many billions shall
havo human life on It, it follows
thero aro an Infinite number of in
habitable worlds. Wo are speaking
of tho Infinite, remember. If thero
are an infinite number of worlds,
then if all but ono out of each bill
ion were destroyed, thero must bo
left an infinite number. Therefore,
seeing wu havo ono world inhabited
it is probable that there nro Infinite
millions of worlds inhabited.
Tim Astoria Pioneer has an ar
ticle, "Past and Present," which ex
actly explains a thought of the wri
ter, who, as a new-comer, some
three years ago, was struck with tho
wuiio ideas. Tlioro is a difference
between tho people of all this coast
jind those east. It struck the stran
ger at oneo Clint wo hero are much
like islanders. Our ways and man
ners aro those of a people who have
long been Imitated. But nil this will
lie changed In time, and very soon,
too, it wo but face tho inevitable
and meet It, It was plain, nlso,
that the last legislature manifested
very little disposition to march
abreast witli the times save In tho
matter of road building. Ono might
well ask If tho majority represented
a general public or the Interests of a
few merchautH, stock men anil spec
ulators'.' The homestead bill, the
laborers' bill, the hill to protect net
tier against stock drovers, and
many llko bills, were promptly
voted down. And to hear Intelli
gent gentlemen use tho arguments
they did about nuch matters was
jwrfeotly surprising. In other states
.micli nontlmeuta would remand thrir
owners to eternal privacy. Thoy
actually do not want any but rich
jxwple to sottlo among us! The Ore,
jjuitm muieiriioiy goxpei, J
What a wonderful work is that
Elegy of Gray's! There is not a
lino in it, hardly, but has become
proverbial. Just let anyone who is
familiar with English literature
take that Elegy and dwell a minute
on ouch dine, and ho shall find that
the expressions from "knell of part
ing day" to the vbry last lino are
now stereotyped, as it were. Before
that poem was published those ex
pressions were unknown and now
one can hardly find a page of
literaturo composition but has pcr
linps several of them. They arc
simply perfect. They fell from the
writer's pen like fresh coin from
some mint golden, glittering, splen
did, and have circulated ever bince,
and what Is more, bear the handling
well their sparkling brilliancy
never being diminished by use.
Several of Gray's pieces have like
expressions, such as "Ample room
and verge enough" nnd the like
now in common use. When the
"God like Daniel" (Webster,) came
to die lie asked that Gray's Elegy
bo read to him. It was the favorito
of that glorious intellect and we
may imagine him dreamingly pass
ing into eternity while the words
sounding in ills cars,
"For who to dumb forgetfulntssa prey,
This pleasing, anxious being e'er resigned;
LIU tho warm precincts of tho cheerful day,
Nor cast one lingering look behind."
OPINION VS. LAW.
A great many former advocates of
prohibition are admitting that it Is
a failure. Among others tho Boston
Congregatiouahst declares it is
necessary to first convince tho peo
ple until nearly all aro agreed upon
it. It is impossible to enforce a law
unless tho people aro generally in
favor of it. Public opinion is higher
than all the law in the world and
forever may it bo so. What is a
statute made by a few representa
tives but the formula of their own
opinions or a bit of jobbery paid for
in nine cases out of ten, as things
go? How often do representative?
misuse tho really awful power of the
law making. Far different is it
with a law demanded by public
opinion tho law of human rights.
All the people in tho world havo no
right to oppose even the wealthiest
citizen. Publlcoplniondown South
demanded tho enslavement of the
colored person. It had no rights
worthy of a moment's respect.
OONK.
Tho death last week of tho famous
Ericsson takes from tho stage of
action ono of thoso gigantic intel
lects to whom modern progress owes
so much. It may be said that with
out such men as ho all our knowledge
would bo practically vain, They
havo the genius to do tho impossible,
tho very highest order of human in
tellect. Tho memory of this man
will ever bo honored, not by two con
tinents only, tho one of his nativity
and of his adoption, but by Immun
ity In general, and shall grow larger
and blighter as tho ages Increase.
It makes ouo ulush for his species
to learn that a lot of rulllaus invaded
tho White House tho night before
inauguration singing most offensive
songs and using Insulting language
towards Cleveland. We aro glad
thoy belong to tho East however,
and doubt whether a western crowd
could bo found to uctso unmanly and
brutal. Several republican gontlo
nien called next day and expressed
their abhorrenco of tho couduct of
tho brutes. Save us from such
friends.
A (lltlCAT WORK.
The Pioneer says that tho work on
tho Jetty is progressing rapidly, near
ly two miles are done, leaving two
nnd a half more to be made. Tho
work done has a good effect on tho
channel, deepening and widening It
nnd when finished, It will bo tho
eiiHieat bar In tho world. It will
cost about three millions to do tho
wholo work, eight hundred thous
and being appropriated.

TEAi'HKUS' KXA3ll.NVno.NS.
Ed. Journal : Now that the
examination has just been completed
for this quarter, we would like to
talk with you a while. Have yoU
ever thought why You arc ex
amined? Have you over thought
that the examination system wo
now have is an imposition upon
you ? Havo you nover been aggra
vated over the matter? Why
should you bo examined ? Properly
to ascertain your fitness to teach'.
But our eystom of examination does
not determine teaching ability any
more than it determines your ability
to herd cattle. You might as well
bo required to mow an acre of grass.
It does not even determine scholar
ship with any degree of exactness.
Many a good scholar would shrink
from tho tests to which you are sub
jected. Some teachers there aie
who are never examined and their
work proves them to be good teach
ers. Some one may in the examin
ation just passed, be graded 100 per
cent in Grammar. Does that prove
that such an one kuows all about
Grammar? It so, then lie ought
not to bo subjected to examination
in that branch any longer. But no
ono claims that the standings on a
certificate prove conclusively one's
scholarship. If any one thinks so,
let him attend tho next examina
tion and have tho scales scraped
from his dazed imagination.
If you are examined and found
competent, and licensed to teach,
why should you be examined again
in three or six months? There
must be a reason for tills arrange
.mont. If you havo taught three,
six, or nine months and your
patrons are well pleased, why should
you bo examined again.
If you have been examined and
found competent to teach in the
county of Marlon, you may teach in
any school. If capable to do the
work in district No. 27, why should
you not be competent in No. 36?
Wo have known instances in which
teachers of tho lower grades have
done better work than their prede-
ccssois or successors of higher grades.
It is not tho grade of tho certificate
that should determine tho teacher's
fitness for a particular school, but
the grade of his work.
Why is not a'teacher examined In
Marion county competent to teach
in Linn or Clackamas counties,
when the state system is uniform?
Tho same questions are used, but if
you wish to teach in Marion county
you must havo a certificate from the
superintendent of Marion county
and this cannot be procured with
out an examination.
Wo do not object to examination,
but we do object to the present sys
tem of examination. It must cost
tho teachers of Marion county not
loss than ?50() per annum for exam
inations and perhaps a much larger
sum, besides Inconvenience and loss
of valuable time. Scores of teachers
are pinching, and derpriving them
selves of much needed helps In order
to bo ablo to attend" theso examina
tions. TKACIIlilt.
