Some one, we believe it was Marx
Twain, wrote: can honest Indian Is the
noblcst WORK of God" When you meet
friend and he gives you piece OF m
formation that strikes you as rather sen
sational, you are pretty certain to inter
unit him with the query: "Honcst
Iniun 2" These reflections are called up
by the remarkable course taken by the
Democratic State organ in recent issue.
In the issue referred to, this "organ' at
Portland, eonfesses that all the charges,
made against the recent Legislature by
Republican journals, are true. 1t goes
farther in its denunciation of the majority
composing that eminent body, than even
Republican journals, by characterizing
them as '.fools or rascuis,," This is the
show of it s: Feeling that the outrage
Gus course pursued by the Democratic
majority in the recent elbow out" at
Salem meets the unqualified disapproba-
and wishing for once to obtain credit for
the expression of honest convictions. it
| quotes from California Democratic or
gans, deuuneiations of the California
Legislature (both branches OF which was
largely Demoeratie), prefaeing the quo
tations with the remark that, "They can
be read with profit by the Oregon De-
mocracy, who are at perfect liberty to
make their own application" To show
! Just what the Democratic State organ
thinks of the majority composing the late
Legislature of Oregon, we give the quota
tions above referred to. The first quota
ton is from the San joaquin Republican,
q sound Democratic journal. ana is as
follows
Much has been said about the actions
4 of the last Legislature, neither crcditablc
nor mplimentary to that body. Repub-
/ licans ridicule its record, and Democrats
see little of which they can feel proud.
! Generally speaking, our last Legislature
was composed of unscrupulous Hepubli-
cans and men of very doubtful politics,
who were nominated by the Democrats.
Among the members were many good
anu true DeulOcEdtS, Uut Hd
entirely too small SO few, in fact, that
we never regarded the Legislature as
Democratic.
The second quotation is from the
Placer Hcraid, which remarks:
Many Of the members of the last Leg
islature have seen and felt the crushing
displeasure of their constituents, and feel
that their course In that body has forever
cursed them and their memory, and
would go back determined to make all
they could out of the lobby, reckless of
consequences. Governor uaight could
convene the Legislature. but he could
neither control nor adjourn it. Govern
or Haight and few honorable Denocrat-
ic members saved that body and the
party from disgrace in last session, but
they could not do 1t again, and that he
knows as well as we do. Convene the
old Legislature again, aud good bye to
Governor uaight; and good bye to De-
mocracy in California aud good bye to
property rights of the masses in the State
for generation. We believe majority
in that body were fools or raseals.
We feel like complimenting the Dem
ocratic State organ for thus honestly
showing up in its true light, the
Democratic majority composing the Ore
gon Legislature. We hope the Demo
cratic State organ will continue this cline
of argument"

Look at the beautiful record made by
this Oregon Democracy. Legislation on
the Chinese question was faithfully
promised by every Democratic candidate,
during the last canvass, throughout the
State. Instead of making good these
promises, the two measures offered in the
Legislature in relation to the Chinese,
were promptly voted down, and the au~
thors made the butt at which the shafts
of ridicule were mcrcilessly hurled by
Democratic members. Only another evi~
dence of Democratic consistency! In
stead OF engaging in needed and whole
some legislation for the people, large
portion of the time was taken up IN GUST

In open violation of pledges of 'secons my

While loudly vaunting their adherence
to the Democratic principle that the will
of the people must be obeyed, that the
people being supreme rulers must choose
whom they please to enforce order and
maintain peace, they pass a measure
taking away the right of the people of
Portland to eject her peace officers, and
give the right to appoint such officers

AN Internal MISTAKE. There were
two pretty sisters who married-ons an
eminent lawyer, the other distinguish
ed literary man. Literary man dies and
leaves young sister widow. Some years
rolled away, aud the widow lays aside her
weeds. Now, then, it happens that a
certain author and critic has occasion,
on a broiling day in summer, to call on
the eminent lawyer husband of the
elder sister He finds the lawyer plead
ing and sweltering in a crowded Court,
sees that the lawyer is suffering dread
fully from the heat, pities HIM, rejoices
that lie is not lawyer, and goes for a
cool saunter under the sheltering trees OF
fashionable park and garden.
Among the ice eating, tanning crowd
there he meets the younger OF the two
sisters, and for moment thinks he is
talking to the elder.
s.Oh, Mr.," said the lady, how
dreedful hot it is here ?"
s'Ycs, madam" replies our lucklcss
critic, 'sit is hot here; but / can assure
you the heat of this place isn't a circum.
stance when compared with the heat OF
the place where your poor dear husband
is suffering to-day"
A horror-stricken expression came over
the face Of the lady; she rises from her
chair and founees Indignantly away.

as to take the prize at the annual exhibi-

near enough he threw the moose nicely
