Readers may recall our referring to the feathery fact that Bhortly after Nov. 8 a most dilapidated speclmcu of poultry came to live at our house. It was suspected some Democrat bad taken It Into his head to compliment Tin: Journal in that way with n bird that could not crow over tho election results and hud all the appearance of hav ing passed through a Kansas cy clone. Our neighbors called the bird Harrison. Tho last few days, wuat seems to be some of his family have also come to visit him. They are even of a worse rag-tag bob-tail description than he, and looked us tho' they hud llyed on cold-water soup ever since they were born. They want to reform the govern ment of the poultry yard. They seem to have joined tho citizens movement to get a living. CONTRACT I.AHOR, Two years ago both parties In Ore gon declared for abolition of contract convict labor. It is time tho press were discussing this subject If tho coming session of tho legislature Is to deal with it. The leaso of convict labor to the Northwest Stove Co. Is about to expire. 5v new company bus been formed that will bo pre pared with a bill to lay before the legislature. It may be delayed some In order to keep tho legislature from acting Intelligently, or to force It to muko u renewal of the contract that would not otherwise bo made. Tho subjret Is ouo of great import ance in this stato. CAN'T MOVJS WITHOUT OROVKIt, The Democratic party in congress does not seem capable of managing Its own business. It is waiting to see whether President Cleveland wants another man than Crisp for speaker; whether Cleveland favors un extra session or not; whether they had not bettor allow Cleveland to draw up a turlif bill for them; thoy will only sneeze when Cleve land takes snuil. If this worship continues, wo need not be surprised to hear of Mrs. Cleveland being asked to sit In tho cabinet. THE WKHTIJltN XBKOOJATiil) I'itEiJH. 8. F. Chrenicle: This new Aftsocla ted Press will bo the most powerful notVH organization over formed Iu this country. Under its contract with the United Press the latter as sociation ceases to transact news business in nearly the entire country, confining itself to a small territory east of the Allegheny wpuuUlus und north of Virginia.

All the clients of the United Prss, all Un telegraph con trsots and leases go to the new organisation, which plastically glyw tho Vwtwn Aasooiatd Prase an lnee la lu yearly lueoawtof over $375 000. With the clloutsof tho United Press and tho priseut membeiHnnd clients of the Western Associated Press the combination will Bggregate between 000 and 7o0 Railing papers In this country. The stock holders of tho now corporation are very limited in number, not ex ceeding sixty, who control this pow erful news engiue. bUUUfSTKI) COMMENT. Clear the truck for Saulu Claus. Balem will show a good Imlldiug record for 1892. Don't fall to keep Christmas nnd make It a merry one. Slxleeu hours a day is n little too long to work white men. Tho shop. windows begin to wear a Christmassy appearance. O rover will tend tho baby until Mar. 4. No hungry need apply. President HarrUou wisely snyh In hit) message tho country Is not going to ruin. Capital Is well represented in the new council. And It is not conser vative capital either. Tho ago of consent In Washington state is fixed by an old nud almost obsolete statute at sixteen. The Grango of this county does not ttsk tho legislators any questions tills year. Yet there are some worth asking about. There mo many more effective methods of building up tho Reput licau party than by abuse of Republicans. "Como up aud help settle (tint cottage, Qrover," nnd settle tbo af fairs of state and ihe office seekers' nftor wards. Balem has a grand future as a city, with n rational system of pub lic improvements aud u restored tato of finances. Mrs. Qrover Cleveland mnkeu the crowd of Democratic ofllco seekers stand back until she oau huvo hor cottage at Washington settled. Astoria holds u mass meeting to appoint u committee of three from each party to secure such revisions of the charter as are necessary. If tho railroads want to boom the world's fulr excursion business wny don't they advortiso to carry wo men at half fare. That would be fair faro to the fair. Sliver men know they have noth ing but hostility to expect from a Cleveland administration, hence ab sence of confidence In tho silver market, und possibility of silver money being nt u discount.

A map in tho advertising columns tells tho story of tho wonderful changes going on in the Eottth. The Savannah river, from this city for 100 miles westward, has many his toric plantations, which, from ,ih days of tho colonial government to a tho end of tho civil war, were nofed for their extent and fertility as welT,' ss for the hospitality of their own-vf era. Possihly tho best known of ' these places near this city was the " Potter plantation, or, moro properly, plantations, as tliro woro threes places. They were principalities eat; tending from tho islands opposite tho mainland on thd southern barikVs' of tho rivoi miles Lack into "tho pinc lands, ' y. Potter's giovo, as a part of the bluff, covered with massive, moss festooned $ , oaki was known, wa.i ,as famous as " Bonavonturo. In White's Statistict, published nearly fifty years ago, is a ) full paga illustration of tho spot. 5 Thcbo places, ns grand as over in -natural beauty and pi-oductiveneas," ' are still there, but tho old plantation a, life and customs aro no more. Tho descendants of those who wore once lords of tho manor now live at ,tho ., north and feel no interest in tho homes of their ancestors. ' : Tho Potter placo nearest tho city, known ns ''Tho Grango," which was spld soveial years ajjo, promises to r becomo a farming settlement. Tho ' rivor front is a high bluff coverqd with majestic trees. A good road' extends from that point through tho S center of tho plantation to tho Agus- fr ta road and, tho Charleston and Sa vannah railway, a distanco of two miles. Tho land on each sido is laid off in small farms. Probably thorn is no spot in the country so well adapted for truci gardening! The laud is fertile' and , tho means of getting pxoduce td f ' market aro .unrivaled. Nothing would bo more in keeping with the ' progress of tho ago than that; thisold'' plantation should become tho center of a colony of prosperous farmers) ' On tho rivor the scenery is lieautif ul Vt enough to induco people who aro notf farmers to invest, so as to have a , ?! quiet country resting place, Savan nah Nows. '' it,. A Fashionable Pigeon Post. Bays a London newspaper: "Two '' or threo young ladies who livo in a suburb of London havo started a candor pigeon post among them selves. Thoy have each a couplo of birds, and send notes to each other irrespective of tho post or telograph offices. In this way thoy can ar rango impromptu tea parties, to., without any tioublo," Goodness gracious I What new agony stares us in tho face? Will girls over hero begin tho carrier pigeon business right off as soon as' thoy learn this, and thug ruin the messonger boy industry? Who knows but tills freak of a low idlo young English women will revolutionize Boston's telegraphic system and turn down tho tolophouo for over? Thero is only ono difficulty to surmount, but that is so momentous "Buttons need not proparo to rotiro yet, and that is, carrier pigeons only fly to their homes, nnd as everybody can not koop carrior pigoons as easily as they can postage stamps it may be somo time yot boforo this romantio means of communication bocomee foshionablo in this region of "in creased postofllco facilities.
