SPniNKMXd THE STREETS.
There was oome discussion of
this subject at the city council meet
ing last night, and pretty strongly
expressed opinions were beard that
tho citizens ought not to expect
sprinkling of any Of the streets at
the expense of the city. This seems
to be a sound doctrine. Sprinkled
streets arc a private luxury to be
borne easiest by private expendi
ture. That Is the way nearly all the
street sprinkling Is done at present,
and itbeeuisan unobjectionable way
of doing. Certainly those who pre
fer living lu the dust should be per
mitted to do bo. Tho additional
burden of sprinkling the streets
should not be placed upon the city
cash box.
A GOOD STEP,
The selection of Mr. Wm. Brown
as member of the Salem City
council to till the vacaitcy caused by
resignation of Councilman Edes Is
decidedly a good step. Undoubtedly
Mr. Brewn is a capable young man
and will appreciate the honor by
giving our growing city the benefit
of intelligent and disinterested ser
vice. Mr. Brown has proven himself
competent to manage a large busi
ness und the recognition of such
meu argues well for the future of our
city got eminent. Men who are
prudcut and faithful In attending to
what is entrusted to them in the
management of private affairs, will
not be apt to prove recreant in dis
charge of public duties.
The more municipal government
can bo brought upon a purely busi
ness basis, the better will be tbe re
sults 60 far as the taxpayer is con-
rned. The addltiou of Mr. Brown
to the city council is matter for con
gratulation. SOME FACTS AND FIGURES.
Oregouiau, Sept. 4: In 1880 the
ratio or proportion of inhabitants to
voters in Oregon, as ascertained by
tbe United States census of that
year, aud put in comparison with
the vote of the state cast In general
election, held just at tbe time the
census was taken, was 4.63 to 1.
That is, we had 174,763 inhabitants
aud 37,759 voters. In June, 1800, we
cast 73,400 votes, aud on tho same
proportion the census thin year
should have given tbe state 330,842.
But, lu fact, the proortiou of total
Inhabitants to voters has been stead
ily rising in Oregon during thirty
years. In a long-settled agricultural
slate like ours, families multiply,
aud the proportion of unmarried
men continually becomes smaller.
Wo therefore undoubtedly have
now. as in such states as Kansas
aud Minnesota, over fivo Inhabl
taut s to tbe voter. Au accurate cen
sus of Oregon would, therefore, give
us not less thuu 367,000 inhabitants.
But tbe returns are 20 per cent,
short of this. We have all along
had perfect confidence that a recount
lu Multnomah, if we could get it,
would sho that fully 20 per cent,
of the Inhabitants had been misled
ou the first enumeration. We shall
know the result lu a few days, and
if it turns out us we have predicted,
it will go far to prove that u liko
proportion was missed all over the
state. In Eastern Oregon tbe ork
was especially bad. Every fact
points to the conclusion that from
25 to 30 per ceut. of the inhabitants
lu that section of the state were
missed by the enumerators. An ac
curate census of Eastern Ore
gon would show nearly 100,000,
whereas we get but a little over
70.0J0.
Oregon Is as old a commonwealth
as California and Minnesota; it Is
older thau Kansas or Nebraska; and
its inhabitants, living where subsist
ence is easily obtalued, are certainly
as proline. Each of the states of
California, Minnesota, Kaunas, Iowa
and Nebraska has by census returns
over five inhabitants to the voter,
Oregon unquestionably has as many,
aud the census that does not show
as many la imperfectly takeu. We
predict that the census of Washing
ton this year, compared with tho
vote in the state election soon to be
held, will show that the state has
over fiveluhabltuuts to the voter.
The census ofllce has told us that we
have ouly 304,000 Inhabitants u Or
egon. Since wo cast 73,400 votes iu
our last election, we have but u lit
tle over four to the voteif we are to
believe the census; but we do not
believe it. Beyond all doubt or
question, (lie return is from 60,000 to
60,000 short of tbe actual numbers.
Every auulogy hero aud )u other
slates where conditions are similar
to our owu, support this conclusion.
Our state ceusus of 1885 was too Im
perfectly taken to be of much actual
use, but the vote is a sure guide.
In Oregon the proportion of non
voters is high almost as high as lu
the oldest state of the Union, No
one imagines that it Is lilgbcr in
such states as Washington, Califor
nia, Kansas, Nebraska and Minne
sota than iu Oregon, ThercBtilt of
all Is the conclusion that 20 per cent
of ourpopulatldii has been missed by
the ceusus takers. There has I men
no close organization of the census
work of the state, no systematic ef
fort; tho work bus been done. In a
careless, feeble and merely pel fu no
tary manner, and it ought to be
done over agalu in every county.

Ifc wns a tall, thin, starvcd-look-lng
boy, with a little J icket, the
sleeves of which crept half way up
his arms, and a hat that was noth
ing but a brim, and when sho saw
him ho was eating a crust out of the
gutter. She was only a poor old
woman who kept a littlo shop for
candy and trimmings, and poor
enough Itself, heaven knew; but,
sho said, he looked u little like what
her Tom might if ho bad grown up
aud been neglected, and sho couldn't
stand it. She called to him:
"Come here, sonny," she said; and
the boy obeyed.
Before sho could speak again, ho
snld:
"I didn't do It. I'll take my oath
on anything. I didn't do it. I
ain't so mean."
"DIdp't do what?" said the
pleasant old woman.
"Break your winder," said the
boy, nodding his head toward a
shattered pane.
"Why, I broke that mself, with
my shutter last night," said the old
woman. "I ain't strong enough to
lift them, that's thj fact. I'm get
ting old."
"If I'm around here when you
shut up, I'll do it for you," said the
boy. "I'd just as soon. What was
that you wanted mo for?"
"I want to know what you was
eating that dry crust out of the gut
ter for ?" was the reply.
"Hungry," he said. "I've tried
to get a job all day. I'm going to
sleep in an area over there, ufter it's
toj dark for a policeman to ee, and
you can't have a good night's sleep
without Home supper, if it Is a little
dirty."
"I'll give you some that's clean,"
said the old woman.
"Tbat will be begging," he said.
"No," she said, "you can sweep
the store aud pavement, and put up
tho shutters for it."
"Very well," he said. "Thankee,
then. If I sweep up lirst, I'll feel
better."
Accordingly she brought him a
broom, aud he did Ihe work well.
Afterward he ate his supper with a
relish. Tbat night be slept, uot In
ilio area, but under the old woman's
cou liter.
He had told her his story. His
uatne was Dick; he was 12 years old,
and his father, whom ho had never
seen sober, was lu prison for life.
The antecedents were' not eleyat
iug, but the boy seemed good. Tbe
uext morning the old woman en
gaged a clerk for her small establish
ment. The terms were simple
"his Hying aud a bed under tbe
counter."
When the neighbors heard of it
they were shocked. A street boy,
whom no one knew. Did Mrs.
Brlggs really want to bo murdered
in her bed? But Mrs. Brings felt
quite sate. She had so much time
now that she was going to take in
sewing. Dick attended to the shop
altogether. He kept it in fine order,
aud increased the business by Intro
ducing candles and chewing gum.
Pennies came lu as they never came
in before, since he had painted signs
in red and blue iuk to tho edict that
tho real old molasses candy was to
be got there, and that this was the
place for peanuts.
And iu the evening after tho shop
was shut up sho began to take him
luto her confidence.
Her great dream was to buy her
self into a home for the aged. It
would cost her $100. She had been
saving for three years, and had $15
of It. But it cost so much to live,
with tea 25 cents per quarter and
loaves so small; und she bad been
slok, and there was the doctor and
Mrs, Jones' Maria Jane to bo paid
for minding her and the shop.
After this Dlek took the greatest
Inteieat lu the savings, mid the
winter months increased them, as
though lie had brought a blessing,
one night in the spiing sho took
the bug from under the pillow, and
counted what it had. It was $30.
"Aud I'll begin to make kites to
morrow, Mrs. Brlggs," fald the
boy, "and you'll see the custom it
will bring. If a llltlu shaver sees
the kites he'll speud all he has for
'em then he'll coax his mother for
mote to buy stick darts and ohew-
(lignum, Iknowhovs."
"You're u clever boy yourself,"
saIo tho old woman, and patted his
head.
It was a plumper hand than it
had beep wlicu It picked the crust
out of the gutter, and ho woio clean,
Whole clotlus, thotiuli thoy were
made of very coarse cloth,
"How wromr all the neighbors
werej" sho said, "l'lia boy Is the
comfort of my life,"
So she went to bed with the
treasure under her pillow, und
'slept. Far on hi (he night she
! woke, The room was utterly dark:
there was not a ray of gh( but
she heard it step upon the tloor,
"Who Is that?" she cried.
Tere was no uiiswcr, but she
felt that there was some one leap

clasped her throat und held liir
down, und diugged out tho bag, and
