thinking men Congressman should
exercise discrimination in their
recommendations, and, by proper
inquiry in their respective districts
ascertain the fitness of applicants for
position. IF incapables are at any time
foistod upon the government, the
remedy Of dismissal remains.
Sinecurce should 10 longer be tolera-
ed If there be standard in regard
to what constitutes days work, whlc h
is TOO low, increase the amount of work
o. number Of hours Of labor. The pay

goyernm eat shonld not pay greater
salary than individual employers arc
accustomed to pay their bookkeeper
aud corr espondents for the same grade
Of work Those employed should
understand that their position is a
permanent one, if they choose to
remain or, in other words, competent
clerks should be retained during life
or good behavior. Of course no
discharge FOR merely potit'cat reasons
Could be tolerated. More trouble
has arisen from making discharges OF
frivolous pretex.s, for the sole purpose
of creating vacancies for new corners
than from all other sources combined.

CORRUPTION.


The Oregonia,. has an article over a
column in length, under the caption,
"are all public men dishonest ard cor
rnpt". The article labors to pursuade
the people that but very few of their
pShiq servants are corrupt and dishon-
est. and really We do not exactly see at
Grat sight what our friend is driving at
he seems to imagine, that heretofore he
has exercised too little charity, perhaps
he has, but as lie has asked the ques-
tion, care all public men corrupt" and
has failed in his long article to answer
it to our satisfaction, NC will simply
suggest to the Oregonian, that in all
human probability, judging from
present appearances, large majority Of
the peoples servants, at the present
time are very corrupt, and il the
Oregonian is troubled in the least
with scepticism in reference to that
proposition, we kindly refer the editor
to the act Of majority Of the last
Congrers, urged on by such men as
Attorney General Williams, and IL
eluding President Grant, putting their
hands deliberately into the treasury
of the United States, and stealing
from the people hundreds of thousands
at one grab. 1t may be that the
Oreyonian will deny that such q
crime has been com mitted by a
majority of the peoples servants, if
he will, than every Republican State
Convention that has meet since the
passage Of the salary bill, has been
composed of band of liars, for they
all have proclaimed it. The truth
is, the honest men found among the
serVanss Of the people at the PRESENT
day, are the exceptions, for in general
they are as corrupt as Hell itself.
Take the appointeos in Oregon to-
day, of the man you have cnsarised,
and who of his own free will and
choice, signed the bill you have de-
nounced as thicving measure, aud
who, of all of them, are you willing
to 7ogcA FOR his honesty.

commenced BY concluding that the
Pzegidens should haye $4,000 year
instead Of $4,000, which had been

GREAT FIRE IN PORTLAND,

The fire in Portland last week de-
stroyed property to the value of over
one million dollars, burning over about
twenty two Blocks. The burnt dis
trict lies between the river and third
street and between Clay aud Alder
streets. This is great blow to Port
land and the State, and it will take
years to repair the loss Portland
lies on the willamette yiye., is there
no way by which water enough can bc
applied to extinguish fire.

is one fraught with mischief of far
greater magnitude than is generally
recognized The government can pay
these high salaries without much
trouble, and the conacienccs of the MEM
bcrs of Congress certainly are not
much troubled about taking all they
can get; but the example is bad one'
aud extends through our whole society
Extravaganza in governmental circles
creates desire to be extravagaut
through out the country.
In the early days Of the Republic
extravaganza was not encouraged,
and the Ehole people lived on their
income, without oyerreaching and
stealing. Salaries were regulated ac-
cording to the expense of living. The
Treasury Department in 1909 instituted
inquiries as to the cost of supporting a
genteel family in Washington, aud the
estimate returned placed the amount a.
So $40 81 for the years 17S9, 1870 aud
1871, raising to 4,l63 GG in 1872

The West draws new settlers into

unskilled. It also drives them to

breadstuffs, but she has long since
ceased so to do. The produce of rich

Many Europeans have so emigrated
