REV. L. II. PEARNE comes put in the
Oregonian of the 18th in very weak, a
very ungentle manly, and certainly very
unchristian art icle against Rev. VIM. Rob-
erts. The gist Of the whole thing seems to
be that Mr.. Roberts last spring published a
series of articles in the Ad0ocate against
ministers of the gospel holding office. MIR.
Pearne, thinking the 'shoe fit him." en-
gagged in controversy with Mr.. r. and got
badly worsted, and frem the fact that some
of the papers in Oregon noticed the fact
and used it against Mr.. Pearne in his cleo
tiOneering schemes for Congress, he, smart
ing under just defeat, now turns around
and charges Mr.. Roberts With falsifying and
classes him among the " enemies the I'm
ion causel" Gracious, goodness what pre-
sumption AS if the salvation Of the I'm
ion depended upon his election to the U. S.
Senate If Mr.. Roberts really had any in
fuence in the d efeas e Fear"o tho people
of Oregon, of all parties, have abudant oc-
casion to sing peons to his name. Mr. Rob
erss is member Of the same political party
to which Mr.. Pearne nolo claims to belong.
The Oregonian announces that Mr.. Pearne
has gone east, but what his intentions are 1t
don't know. May we express the hope that
ne has gone to repent and to attend again to
that "higer calling" which he used, 50 meek
ly, three and four years ago to proclaim that
he had when approached by G-s with the
"you tickle me and III tickle YOU hints on
the Congressional and Senatorial questions.

A "BROoM RANGER" IN OUR MIDST
A majority of our readers are perhaps aware
that organizations exist throughout Califor-
MIA and Nevada, known as Broom Rangers
These Rangers were supporters of General
Mcclellan for the Presidency, and they would
assemble in large numbers in the principal
towns and cities, at political gatherings, and
parade the streets with brooms upon their
shoulders We have never seen or heard
any particular reason given why the organi-
cations adopted the style of carrying brooms.
Some have advanced the idea that they de-
sired to carry weapon Of some sort, in or
der to keep up with the age, and as the
broom, in contradistnction to the muskety
was entirely harmless, it was appropriate,
and therefore adopted Be that as it may,
we feel satisfied that the Broom Rangers
have accomplished some good. They have
made demand for brooms, at least, and
the wives of the rangers can sweep their
houses, when their liege lords abandon these
valuable adjuncts of the parlor and kitchen.
Wewere not at all surprised day or two
ago. to see tall Broom Ranger enter our
office, unannounced, bearing upon his shoul-
der two very large, fine looking brooms.-
The Ranger did not appear to be in hostile
mood, so we remained perfectly composed
In an instant, however, we recognized in
the visiter the familiar countenance of our
eutcrprising friend, Mr.. J. f. Wood. He
is genuine Broom Ranger, and manufac-
lures, himself, the best kind of brooms.-
Two years ago Mr.. Wood gave us two brooms
of his manufacture, and one of them re-
mains, with handle black and ink -besmeared,
from daily use in the hands of not DER
dainty "Deyil," a convincing monument Of
its lasting qualities and great usefulness
Mr. W. will please accept our thanks for the
two brooms left. If other peoples brooms
last as long as ours, Mr.. W. will be able to
keep the Walla Wala valley abundantly sup
piled with them.

The Dalles Mountaineer of late date
says that less than one year ago, the Dalles
polled less than three hundred votes all told
On the day of she Presidential election,
eight hundred and twenty three votes were
cast. "And even with this figure" adds the
Mountaineer, eve know of number of re-
spectacle citizens who did not vote" 1t IS
astonishing to notice with what rapdity the
town Of Dalles and other places in Oregon
have increased in voting population within
the last few months. The vote of the State
at the late election will be an increase of
several thousand since the June election
IF the population entire has increased In the
same proportion as the vote has throughout
the State since the last June election, Ore
gon has had an accession to her population
during the summer and fall Of some 10000
persons Some will wonder whether or
no this growth is of permanent and healthy
nature. 1t looks kind o mushroomsh.

BY the returns, it appears that Sskou
