DreamIand Graves.

BYE.E.F.
Dreamland lies close to every soul,
Its doors will ope at Hghtest words,
And thoughts fly in and out like birds,
And build their nests on every knoll.
Each flying thought will rear its brood,
Each dreamy hope will build its nest,
And cover with its plumy breast
Sweet singers who our sight elude.
But oh, the graves in dreamland found
The buried plans, the hopes SO chilled
The sealed-up tombs with fond loves filed;
The turf heaped up on greenest mound
Some dream-graves shine with soft sward bright
True love still watches DER its dead
Spring roses blossom at the head
And rainbow sunsets drop them light
Some dig thessssyes, and proud and chill
Frons -r dreams turn with a sneer
them know bow dear
pes that Time doth kill.
burners wander long,
s what they never had:
2 ghosts of heroes glad,
Aants the poets song.
There buried in the dreamland mold,
Rust eats the marble statue cold,
That never sculptor's tools shall fit.
There little graves of childish hope
Lie close to great sarcophagi;
Where giant plans must buried lie,
And neither more in dreamland grope
Thus dreamland is so full of graves,
You scarce can find a spot to place
A footstep, or your paths deface
Some hallowed turf that memory Graves,
Oh cemetery of dead dreams,
The vastest graveyard earth can show;
Your boundaries no can know
Till heavens revealing glory streams.
We then shall reap what now we SOW;
No longer wrapt in silence dumb,
Your resurrection then shall come
With Easter mornings golden glow.

in the policy of the county admin

mary interests. If the Democratic

elected, the same policy Of reckless
cxravagance will be continued.
There will be no retrcBchment.

some old groove, wearing it deeper
all the time. Look at their can

anything mhis reputation to promise

is there a father in this county who
would select him to administer his
estate for the benefit of his children
after death? +? The County Judge is
the most important office in the
county. A bad, reckless, or incom-
petent man IN that position, aud
the injury to the county is incalcu-

thrice, before they deposit their bal
lots for County Judge. let them
estimate the two men tor that posi-

will be elected in this county as the

There never has been President
whose official acts have been more
thoroughly scrutinized by lis enc
mics than has been those of Ger.
Grant. He has been charged at dit.
frent times with various grave Offer
ces, ard in every instance, we be-
,lieve, a Republican Congress las
granted Committee Of investigation,
composed PARTLY ofpolitical enemies,
to investigate them. Noexpense Of
time or money has been spared to
make these investigations thorough.
They have raked up and down,
and across, but sad to relate for
the enemies of the President,
out Of the eleven Congressional
Committees, which have been ap-
pointed for this purpose, in every
Instance they were compelled to
bring in their verdicts substantially:
We find no fault in this man.
They failed utterly to discover the
smell even of dishonesty upon his
garments.

To show how absolutely unprin-
cipled and dishonest has been the
conduct pursued by Carl Schurz To-
wards President Grant, we need
but adduce the testimony Of DIR.
Schmidt, a scholar, an orator, and
one of tie best writers in the coun-
try, concerning the French arms
sale. The DR.. says that about a
year ago Sehurz showed him the
documents on this sale. "Well," "
said the doctor, "you don't suppose
that Gralt lad anything to do with
that % ooh, no." replied schurz
81 don't think he had, but zee what
a fuss | can make about it,. DR.
Schmidt is we'll known to Germans
in tie West, and his word is unim
peachahle. In this circumstance
how prominently the leading trait
in the character of an unscrupulou'
demagogue stands out.

him. Now we do not believe that
a sensible citizen, one who sincerely
desires to see the best interests of
the whole State advanced, and who
takes a laudable pride in having
tie State represented in Congress
by smart men, wants to see so in
ferior a man as Burnett sent to the
House. He wouldamount to nothing
more than a cipher there. He would
have no influence, intellectually or
socially. lie would be noncntity,
a nothing. As it is now, we have
one "dead head.' in the Senate, in
the person of Kelley. Corbett,
however, offsets him. Slater does
well in the House; but put Bur-
nett in his place instead Of Judge
Wilson, and what have we but an
additional "dead head 7" We hope
for the reputation of the State, if
for no other consideration, that
Judge Wilson will be elected to
Congress.

elective franchise III voting Tor Con-
gresham, members Of the State
Legislature and County officers.
Locally, the election is ore Of grave
Importance. In selecting county
officers, you determine by themoral
and business character of the men
whom you elect, whether the affairs
of the county shall be conducted
honestly, fairly, economically and
prudeutly, or whether care'essness
and prodiga)ity, extravigace and
fraud shall increase the tax-burdens
of the county, and thus injure its
1growthand prosperity. The citizens
of Linn county know how well the
affairs Of the county have been con-
Quoted by the present Democratic
officials. Whilemany ofthem have
been accommodating and efficient,
lie general official policy has been
one Ofextnvagance and prodigality.

thousand dollars more per year TO
manage the business Of the county

Local issues are Of great import
auce to the people Of Oregon, and
Of every State yet tl.ese sink into
insigniticance in comparison with
those questions bearing upon the ln-
terests Of the nation. The children
ola family are intelligent and vir-
tuous in proportion as these traits
are inculcated by the precept and
example Of the parents. Tie States
arc strong, and possess all the ele-
mcuts ofintelligeDt, progressive vlg-
or aud substantial prosperity, III
proportion as the nation, in its ln-
dividuality, possesses these traits.
As the hald and the foot and every
part Of the body Is vigorous in pro-
portion as the heart, the seat OF lite,
is strong and vigorous, 50 are the
States dependent for their prosper
ity upon the condition and character
OF the general government. Hence,
in voting for our candidates for the
Legislature, as well as for Repre-
sentative to Congress, we assist in
determining the policy and charac-
ter OF the nation. II majority OF
our Representatives elect to the
State Legislature are Democrats,
they will elect a Democrat to the
United States Senate, and his i'll
fiucnce there, whatever it may be,
will be welded in favor of--can
any body tell what? The Repub-
lican party has been in power for
twelve years. Its principles andpol-
icyare known. 1t has given character
and bent to the nation. Everybody
knows what that disability,
economy, peace, and prosperity. by
electing Republicans to the Legis-
lature, you secure a Z. S. Senator
who will assist in maintaining these
ideas as Chief in the national charac-
ter. By electing Judge Wilson to
Congress the same end will be pro
noted. Let every Republican, if
any should be inclined to Scratch"
think ofthiS. Look at the princi-
pie involved, the bearing which
your vote has upon the interests of
the nation, and vote the whole
ticket.

No More Dead Heads In Congress.
1t should be the pride of every
citizen of Oregon to see his State
we'll represented in point OF energy
and talent in the two branches Of
Congress at Washington, Our
Senator's and Representative should
be composed Of men whose knowl-
edge and legislative ability are snf-
ticicntly high to enable them to
compete successfully in the halls Of
legislation for the interests of the
State. rs a matter Of principle
they should be selected from our
most distinguished and virtucus
men. They should be thoroughly
posted, not only in point Of business
qualifications, so as to be prepared
to transact such business for the
citizen as may be required, but they
should know how to frame bill,
introduce it, advocate its provisions
aud engineer it through Congress.
Especially should care in these
directions be exercised in selecting
our Representative in the Lower
House of Congress. While there
are two chances in the Senate, there
is but one here. A failure to select
a creditable member to represent
the interests 81 the citizen and
State in the House, is without REM
ely, until . new election occurs.
Then, as the member of that body
more directly represents the people,
as lie is the one to whom they look
more especially for thetransaction of
their private business, how impor-
tant it is to every citizen of this
State that our coming Representa-
tive be the right sort ota man.
How important it is for the mate
rial interests Of the State in general,
that q live, active, energetic man OF
business and legislative wisdom and
forethought, be elevated to that
position. Is John Burnett such a
man? lie is a good clever fellow,
no doubt /; but is not something
more required to render him fit to
represent the great State OF Oregon
in Congress? Has he more than
very ordinary ability? Listen to

antiquated, upprogressive? Might
