Elgin Recorder; Low wages is
the cry of teachers throughout Union
county while It wholly lies in tho
fault of the teacher . not setting his
price and standing for it lustead of
teaching cheaper just to get a school
when several applications are stand
ing. Grand Roude Chrenicle: Wo un
derstand that Judge Sanders was
admitted to a seat upon the floor of
the house in the Oregon legislature.
The Judge says that lie had no pilot
or guide with him, he got out of
Salem alone, such is life with Oregon
judges.
Forest Grove Times: Oregon
must redeem herself. Our mis-representatives
in tho last legislature
struck us a hard blow, but there
may yet be a redemption. Every
city, town and village in the state
must now, thiough its board of
trade, do its part, and from $100,(00
upwards be raised. There is no
way out of it. Oregon cannot ailord
to disgrace herself.
Ileppner Recerd: A man not far
from The Dalles sold ins son-in-law
one half of a cow and then refused
to divide I lie milk, maintaining that
he sold only the front half. The
son-in-law was also required to pro
vide all the feed tliu cow qpusunicd
and compelled to carry Water to her
three times a day. Recently the
cow hooked the old man and now
ho is suing his son -in-law for
damages.
The Dalles Chrenicle: In 1S01,
for the purpose of raising funds to
prosecute tho war, congress passed
an act levying a direct tax upon the
several states proportioned to their
population. The net amount thai
Oregon contributed under that
law was $2i),SG0,57. Congress has
just passed an act to re-emburse the
several states which paid tlielr ap
portionment, aud under this law the
treasury of this state will soon be
enriched bv the amount she paid to
the general government thirty yeais
ago.
Grand Roude Chronicle (dcm.):
At the recent session of tho legisla
ture the governor w anted to make
himself solid for the United States
senate and ct his heart on captur
ing Eastern Oregon with an appro
priation to open tho Columbia river,
and ho also hoped to inllate the old
popularity lie had gained by yetolnu
the wagon road appropriation bills.
Ke vetoed the wagon road bills on
the grounds tint they woro of loca
benellt only. This reason, if a good
one, should have Induced him to also
vetoed tho measure to open tho Co
lumbia river, for tliut was of local
benefit to Eastern Oregon. The
Willamette valley and Southern
Oregon were not clamoring for an
open river to tho sea. 1 f the govern
or's position was sound on one it ap
plies equally to both. The governor
does not mind appropriating money
liberally to build a dome oti top ol
the state enpitol at a cost of seventy
thousand dollars, that would not
rent for ten dollars a mouth, but Ik
says, in a verv emphatic- way, to tlu
pioneers of Eastern Oregon, you fel
lows can go to tho Seven Devils ovei
a pack trail. The governor Is u
great political baso ball plajor, but
for once he is oil' his buse and we
propose to tell him so If we lose our
Job.

in Cleveland's term tried to enact
for Oregon free wool aud taxed sugar.
Tho republican party have enacted
for tho whole country, Including
Oregon, taxed wool and practically
free sugar. Tho republican party is
not likely to be defeated in Oregon
in 1802 because it has substituted,
for democratic freo wool and taxed
sugar, protected wool aud free sugar.

Tho last day of congress tho house
held an all-night sessien: About 5
o'clock in tho morning, when tho
house was in a drowsy mood ready
to fight or have fun, a member, who
had a most enviable load 011 board,

"Misht Speak, Mlsht Speak, I rlsh

thickly and with dlillculty.
"Tho gentleman will state his par

Speaker.
"Misht Speak, nrparlament

And hero ho forgot what he was
going to say, aud stood there mute,
but not motionless. Ho swayed.
Ho gazed at tho Speaker with a
hopeless look lu his glassy eyes and
simply swayed. Tho Speaker wait

aud, seeing that he could not, ho
looked down on him with au
amused smile as ho said lu hiqdry

"The gentleman is out of erder:

Tho house roared as tho member
