several clubs were thrown at Allen, one OF

EASILY ACCOUNTED FoR.-The unblush.
iOg veOality and corruption that character.
ICES the radical party is easily accounted for.

mates Of the President, catching their tone
from him, indulge in the most unblushing
corruption and plunder the treasury with
scarce an effort at concealment. "Let us

exclamation. Let US have honesty, is what
the public demand-a demand that is likely
to go unheeded as long as corruption sits en-
throned at the Capital of the Nation.

ENGLISH pAUPERIsM.-In the July mum.
Der ofOne of the English magazines, a writer
extensively treats Of pauperism. According
to him, the pauper army of England is res
cruted from the labo-ing classes, and it num-
bers about million constantly, or not less
than oneNtwentieth of the whole population,
while more than q tenth are dependent on
public or private charity for portion of every
year. Not less than one.quarter of the
English people are dependent on charity at
some period of their lives. The money spent
10 public relief of the poor during the last
twenty years, has averaged 95, 1881 900 an
nully, and has had no effect in removing its
causes. London charities consume eS, 500.
600 anuully, and much of it indicates efforts
to purchase immunity from personal exertion
and sacrifice. We should say that it would
be work of charity and justice to encourage
emigration from these classes of suffering
whites to the United States, rather than to
encourage the immigration of Mongolian
serfs. 1t is the working-people of Europe,
and not those of China, this country needs
to make it more prosperous.-CdH.

Hon, F.P. DUGAN, accompanied BY his wife,
started in the early part of the week on his way
to the Atlantic States. Mr.. D. goes by way of
San Fraucisco, and thence by railroad. We
have already stated that it is Mr.. D's. intention
to deliver series Of lectures in the principal
cities of the Union, in which he will set forth
the peculiar inducements Washington Territory
offer to immigrants, and more ESPECIALLY will
endeavor to call attention to our own beautiful
Valley of the Walla Walla. The trip is made at
the invitation of leading capitalists, here and
elsewhere, who selected Mr.. Dugan on account
of his peculiar fitness for the work he has under>
taken. He expects to occupy about two months
in his lecturing tour, after which, if nothing in
terveues, he will at once return home. From
time to time we expect to be posted as to the
progress of Mr.. DIS undertaking, and whatever
information is thus obtained will be duly laid
before our readers. Mr.. D. and bis amiable lady
will accept our best wishes for pleasant trip and
speedy return.
