RAILROAD SURvEY.-Col. Tilton, of
the Northern P..cifc Railroad Company,
will leave Portland in few days with an
engineering corps to survey the route Of
that road between this place and Wallula.
1t is not yet known whether or not the
main line will run through this city, but
it seems quite probable that either the
main trunk or branch viii reach US. At
all events we feel pretty secure in The be-
lief that we will have a road within the
Eext two years.-IH w. Record.
New LAND OFFIcE.-Mr. William
Stephens, Of this place, has been appointed

Yakima and pat of Klickitat counties.
We are unable to say at present at what
time the Office will be opened; but when
it is ready for business it will save great
expense and trouble to the settler.-lb.
INDIAN HoRsEs.-There is not so much
demand for Indian horses as is usually the

gthe engineer who was to have brought
thshight express from Columbia mount
\ ed his engine just before starting time
and asked the switohman to open the
switch and let him out, which the switch
man did. thinking he only intended
moving his engine up and down. the
track to get it in good working condi-
ton, which is said often to be the Gaze
before starting. AS soon as the track
was cleared, to, tho, astpnish hment OF .all
who were at hand. the engineer started
his engine st full speed up the road, and
kept on as far us Killinn,'s. where he
stopped. A ornuk truck was started for
the engine and found it switched off at
Kiiliun's. The engineer reported TINT lie
could not get the pumps to work, and
run to the first station to clear the track.
The watchman reported the engineer to
have gone from n bar-room to the engine
in an intoxicated state. Every precnu-
tion was taken by the officers of the road
to prevent n collision. The train was
detained five hours and half.

THE LATE Hon. W. s.. HENEREY. AT
O late, honr on Friday evening, the
gentleman whose name heads, this article
breathed his last, at his residence in this
city. Mr.. Henerey has been so long
identified with the best interests of our
CITY and State that his death is very gen.
orally regarded as q public loss. He was
q practical mechanic, one of that solid
stripe of men whose presence in CON-
munity always adds to its prosperity. and
whose counse,s are'always sought after.
He was the founder aud proprietor of
the. extensive machine shops and factory,
known. as Henerey's foundery. an impor-
tant part of the mechanical industries of
this city. Mr. Henerey also served his
city with fidelity as Senator, in the
higher branch vi tle State Legislature.
and as Alderman in the City Council.
He was a prominent member of the
Citadel Square Baptist; Church, IN tile
building of which he took a heartfelt
interest. The welfare of the labpring
Glasses in tho community was always IN
object of solioitldo with him, and among
the.'bone and, sinew'' of the land, as
well.as among the rest of our people, lie
was held in respect and esteem. He was
d true and devoted son of Charleston,
and his death will be universally de-
plored. ~ Charleston Courier.

NeEs - SAeE1 "a A1OeANGAAAOhs
y system of compulsory education has
been adopted in the States of New
Hampshire, Michigan, Texas, North and
South Carolina and Mississippi. The
triumph of the Republican party in
California will be followed by some leg
islation which will carry out the idea
expressed in the clause of its platform
recommending ga common school sys-
tenn that shall not only extend its bene-
fits to all but be compulsory upon al" !"
The plan proposed inhibits special edu-
cation and compels the attendance of all
children under certain age at one com
mon school, which will be carried on ex-
clusively in the interest of the party in
power. The parent who wishes to send
his child to a commercial college, to a
law or medical school, or who prefers
educating his offspring under his own
roof and at his private expense can not
do So What is taught TO one must be
taught to all, and the teachers who are
to afford this instruction to be chosen
by the administration, under which the
State may happen to exist at the time the
appointments are made.
If there is anything in which the
parent should exercise the most unre-
strained liberty, it is in the selection ol
instructors for his children. "The child
is father to the man." the old provert
tells US, and the homely phrase, Gas the
twig is bent the tree will be inclined,
contains unquestioned truth. The mind
of youth is Influenced greatly in after
years by the character of instruction
which is impaired to it, and the tone and
disposition of children is greatly con-
trolled by the noble or debasing senti-
ment impressed upon them by those who
are placed over them as guides and tu-
tors. This system then strikes at the
most sacred principles of human liberty,
and subverts a solemn right which it is
the imperious duty of mankind to pre-
serve iuviolate. Certainly of all the
dangerous and alarming tendencies ol
this reckless and unscrupulous party
this is the most perilous. Words will
not add to-the horror which such pro
gramme should excite in every rejecting
mind. All who think a moment upor
this subject will see that this is the mos
hazardous of all the hair Drained anC
demcralizing isnls of most hair braineC
and demoralizing party.

0reeIey Among the IndIans

Horace Greeley made a speech on the
I'D inst, to large crowd of Indians.
on ale shore of Green Bay, Wisconsin.
TheIndian chief, Swallow Tail, in re.
cepiDn speech to Mr.. Greeley, said
"Brothers of Sewanee, a great pale
chid has come to see He comes from
where the sun rises he is a very great
man there he is more loved there than
the6reat Father; he can teach Us how
to Fough, and how 10 plant our corn,
and 5he can tell Us how to make our
groapd rich, and how to make rain when
we h.ye none and these white men here
withhim told that one Of these days.
maJbe, he will be our Great Father, and
send seeds and plows and fish poles
ands dspowder aud red cloths. This is
NOR than our Great Father does now.
HePnly sends US an agent, who Is
grsa scamp, aud steals ali our corn, aud
givk nothing"
After Swallow Tail had concluded, be
inacoaced Mr.. Greeley. who spoke to
Isfrss-ss. men for half an hour. Among
other7Sings, he said
Thn there is another thing I am
told-hat you sometimes yoke your
women the plow, and that when they
refuse to be so yoksd you don't plow at
all. This is a great mistake. You can
raise nohing without plowing, and if
you would prosper you must plow deep.
Your women are not strong enough to
draw a plough as deep as it ought TO go
into the earth. Your soil should be
turned over from a depth of at least two
feet, and you can never do this with your
women. lou must get steam plow
steam is more powerful than women, and
(sarcasticahy) it is easier to manage
You have in your reservation many
squares Of good tillable land, and you
should be growing rich from it. Do you
do any drafting? am afraid not Now
your land should be thoroughly drained.
Much of it is swamp, and l have no
doubt that which is not is too moist to
grow good crops. Draining can be done
at very little expense, and it repays the
cost hundred fold"
We are at a loss to know why Mr..
Greeley thinks steam easier to manage
than women. IF he wants to be Presi-
dept, he must not talk about women in
this way.
