BEGIN AT THE SoURcE.-Without hon
esty in the people, honesty in the gov
ernment cannot be expected. The tole-
ration of the use of money in popular
elections. sanctions bribery and corrup-
ton in public office. The New York
Union, IN speaking of the necessity of
reformation ir the public men. says:
There must be found home senti-
ment of honesty. which, shall make it
impossible for any man to enjoy such
gains by sacrifice of honor, truth and
public trust. As long as men, by scores
and hundreds, can get to the Legislature
poor. and in five years return rich.
maintain their popularity and enjoy
their ill-gotten possessions, of what use
will it be once in IN years to sacrifice a
luckless criminal amid universal execra-
tions? The honesty must dwell among
the comm on people. There must be
honesty at the source OF power. If the
people are debauched, their representa-
tives will not be virtuous. The moral
education of the whole people must. at
ter all, be the grand remedy.

The MA1Ls.-Having thus far escaped
the dire calamity threatened us if we
again mentioned this subject, We ven
ture, with fear and trembling, to re-
mark that the condition of our mail ac-
commodations are getting no better very
fast. The mail due from Olympia on
Thursday morning, arrived here on the
afternoon of that day, and here it stop
ped. The mails for the down Sound
ports were lying in the Postoffice await
ing transportation, when We came to
our Office this, Friday morning. The
Governor came with the mail from
Olympia, and the whole Executive and
pardoning- power. combined with the in
fuence and financial credit Of the mail
contractor, had been insufficient to
charter tug. though several could be
had if the pay could be sufficiently guar
anteed. Whether any arrangement for
the removal of the mails has been made
at the present writing, we cannot tell,
but can only exclaim in the language of
letter to the Postmaster General from
another iocality:~ "Our suffsrings is in
tolerable.

LIFE IN NEBRIsXA.-A citizen of Ne
braska thus posts up an Eastern cores
pondent who spered a variety of ques-
tions at him as to the Territory and life
there:
"What kind Of country do you live
in?
Mixed and extensive. It is made up
principally of land and water.
"What kind of weather?'
Long spells of weather are frequent.
Our sunshine comes off principally in
the daytime.
"Have you plenty of water, and how
got?"
a good deal of water scattered about,
and generally got in pals of whisky.
''Is it hard?"
Rather so, when you have got to go a
half mile, and wade in mud knee deep
to get it.
"What kind of buildings?"
Allegoric, Ionic. Anti-Baloiic, Log
and Slabs. The buildings are chiefly
out of doors, and SO low between the
joints that the chimneys all stick out
through the roof.
"What kind of society,""
Good, bad, hateful, Indifferent and
mixed.
'.Any aristocracy?"
Nary one.
"What do your people do for hv-
ing, mostly?"
Some work, some laze around; ones
shrewd business manager, and several
drink whiskey.
''Is it cheap living there?"
Only five cents a glass and the water
thrown in.
ANY taste for music?"
Strong. Buzz and buck-saws in the
daytime. and wolf bowling and cat-fght-
ing in the night.
"What could a genteel family in mod
crate circumstances do for livirg?"
Work. shave notes. hunt, fish, steal.
or if pinched, buy and sell town prop
erty.

DECK LoADs.-The Canadian Domin-
ION Board of Trade, after full discus
sion of the dangerous practice of ves-
sells carrying deck Dads. unanimously
passed the following resolution, which
we would commend to this geography,
especially during the winter season:
"Resolued. That this Board urge
strongly upon the Government of the
Dominion the necessity of Immediately
putting stop to the practice of carry
ing deck-loads after the 1st Of Septem-
ber and before the 1st of May in each
year, as being destructive to human
life and materially increasing the COST of
insurance" gr=

STRONG DEMAND FOR JUSTICE The
New York Herald is strenuous and en-
phatic in its appeals and downright de-
mands that murderers in that city shall
suffer the death their bloody crimes de-
serve. We copy from its columns the
following forcib!e remarks Oh the sub
ject:
There have existed times in regions
of America iii which all these men wonld
hsve been slain instantly beside their
victims or else have gone scott-free. But
society. such as it was, finding that the
well-disposed many were powerless be-
fore the murderous few, found a rude
corrective in Judge Lynch. It is state
of society to which we do not wish to
confess we are reduced, although many
a man in Gotham is thinking now that
ridiculous jury laws. slow moving Dis
trict Attorneys, writ-issuine Supreme
Court Judges and pardoning Governors
ere poor substitutes for the long rope
and short shrift of the Judge of the back
woods. The murderers, with their off
hand explanations, suggest off-hand re-
torts. When Nixon says. 81 have just
pnlled out my pistol and shot him."
should not society be able to say, a few
weeks hence, Il just pulled out a rope
and hanged him. Yet who is it would
predict that it will be so? In our ex-
cessive care to weave safeguards around
the criminal we have strangled Justice.
Her hands are fl tered as tightly as her
eyes are supposed to be bandaged. We
may boast of our progress. but Justice
in the pillory with murder, among the
scoffers at her feet, is picture that we
cannot but be ashamed Of Civilization
has its types. and if the school-house be
one the gallows is another. The ship
wrecked cynic who was cast ashore. and
knew that he had found Il civilized land
because he saw gibbets in the distance.
was, for all his sneering, as sound in
his Judgment as if he bad seen the cross
crowned cupola of great Christian
Temple. While we have ignorance we
want schools; while faith is necessity
we want churches; while we have mur-
derers We want gallows. We have
fourteen or more life-rakers in New
York and we want a gallows wide enough
and strong enough for all.

OBITUARY..

HED-In this city. March 13. 1873,
DAVID SwINsoN MAYNARD, in his Goth
year.
The deceased was born in Vermont on
the 22d day Of March, 1908, graduated
at Castleton, and after receiving his
medical degree, removed to Elyria.
Ohio, and entered upon the practice of
medicine, in 1892. He Immediately
achieved high rank in the profession.
and in his twenty years practice became
one of the most distinguished physi-
clans in Northern Ohio, for three years
a member of the Faculty of Cleveland
Medical College. In 1850 he joined an
emigrant train destined fer Oregon, and
in the fall CT that year arrived at Olym-
pia and engaged in trade as store
keeper. In april, 1852, he removed his
trading establishment to this place and
took up claim under the Donation act,
portion of which was plated tor a
town, to which he gave the name of
Seattle, an Indian chief, between whom
and himself warm friendship was es-
tablished, which was never broken. He
thus became literally the father OF the
town of Seattle; the main business por-
ton of the city being described in the
records as Maynard's plat
He continued to practice his profess
sion whenever and wherever the neces-
sites of the few white settlers, or even
Indians, required his services, taking
no account OF professional fees beyond
the very few who were abrndantly able
to pay. and was the first American ply
sician to engage in practise north Of the
Columbia river.
The personal character of the deceas-
ed is best known to,those who have been
his intimate associates for the last 20
years, and they, without exception, con
cur in ascribing to him the following
characteristics: he was generous to inn
providence, and charitable to fault,
scattering his bounties and his charities
with an indiscriminate b md, and with
slis h, regard to the worthiness of the
object. lie loved his fellow men with a
love which seemed entirely free from
selfish considerations; shared his sub
stance and contributed his care and
professional skill to any and all who
seemed to require them, regardless of
merits or faults of any, and if he had an
enemy on earth he never appeared to
recognize the fact by an unkind word
or act of retaliation. As might reason
ably be expected of such "a character. hs
sacrificed all his abundant opportuni-
ties of accumulatlng wealth, to the
weakness of an uncalculating generosity
and he died poor. arg
The faults of our deceased friend and
brother, were those most common with
social and generous natures, and will
be buried with his mortal remains.
while his many acts of disinterested
charity and noble generosity will sane
tify his memory in many now aching
heart. He died in the full conscious
ness of approaching dissolution, and
with his last breath testified to his faith
in the Christion religion and the resur-
ection of the dead in Christ.
The funeral, under the direction of
the Masonic Fraternity, will be held at
the Pavilion, on Saturday, at P. M.
Services, conducted by Rev. John F..
Damon.

"PATENT OUTsIDEs. Tie Ydm-
hiH County Reporter, published at Me
Minnville, Oregon, comes to us this
week in an enlarged form, being now a
seven-column paper. The paper is now
published on the "patent-outside" plan,
that is, the publisher gives up the en-
tire outside (1st and 4th pages) to a
San Francisco firm, who furnish him
the printed paper at less than the white
paper would cost, taking their pay in
8 columns of advertisements, which they
insert in their half of the paper, so the
proprietor does not know what he is
publishing or advertising until the print
ed paper arrives when it is too late to
make any change. This plan puts a
paper that is in dying condition, on
an equal footing, as far as outsiders
know, with well established home pa.
per, making subscribers believe that the
publisher has had such an increase Of
business that he has been compelled to
double the size of his paper when in
truth he must have lost considerably OF
he never would have adopted the ''pat.
ent outside" plan.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.-A woman, but
short time resident of this place, at
tempted suicide on Tuesday evening.
Her husband, addicted to iptemperance,
returned home about II o'clock under
the influence of liquor, and gave her a
beating. Immediately after which, she
took deadly dose OF laudanum and
crawled under the house, where she was
found on Wednesday morning in a dy-
ing condition Medical aid was i'm
mediately called, and the usual reme-
dies applied. She IS now considered out
of danger.

A FLOOD. We are informed by per-
sons from the interior that the waters
in the valleys of the Puyallup, White,
Green. Black. and Cedar rivers, are
higher than they have been before for
the last seven years. and that all the
farms upon the low lands are overflow
ed, causing great damage, which cannot
now be estimated. We have not heard
from any other quarter. but it is pre-
sumable that it has affected the Cow
litz and CoIun. bia rivers. as telegraph
communication is cut off in that direc-
ton.

SAvEEGs BANKs.- These institutions in
the Eastern States and California are
fast increasing. and are deservedly pop
ular with the laboring classes, who have
small earnings they wish to save and re-
selve interest on. The utility and the
conservative infuenceoft thesebanks have
long since been felt. They are b@h useful
and valuable in any community, large
or small. They are useful. because they
provide safe depository for the sur
plus earnings and the savings of all
classes of the people, and thus furnish
capital, in concentrated form. for the
benefit If landed owners and business
men; they aid essentially in promoting
public sand private improvements in
large and small cities. In New York State
are ninety-six million dollars loaned on
bond and mortgage. and one hundred
and fifty-six millions loaned or invested
| in Stocks. In Massachusetts, seventy
four millions are loaned by these insti-
tutions on Mortgages. The Savings
Banks are also valuable, because they
have conservative influence in anu
among the community where establish
ed. Every depositor is, necessarily, a
conservative citizen, becaHse he at once
becomes q lover of order, and takes IL
greater interest in the welfare of the
city or town where he resides. He be-
comes an advocate of law and order, his
money is saved up and placed ON inter-
est instead of being spent for drinks or
lost at the gaming table.
New York has 776, 700 depositors in Saw
ings Banks, with $267, ,905. S66 deposited.
Massachusetts has 1901 depositors.
with 1853, ,704,07 deposited. Califor-
mia has 5S,713 depositors with $47,-
7S4,372 deposited. These Banks pay
interest from 5 to II per cent. per an
um, according to the value for money
in the different localities in which they
are located, interest being cheaper in the
New England States, and highest in
California.
The first Savings Bank was started in
New Yolk, in the year 1919, called the
Bank for Savings" At the end of the
first year there was deposited $l55, 600;
/
in December, 1872, it had increased to
eighteen million dollars. Regarding
the institution, an article in the Bank
sr's Magazine says: "In this long inter
val of fifty-threc years since its charter,
there has only been six Presidents, OF
whom five were part of the incorpora-
tors. They have long since passed away,
but the great institution the great
Charity-is growing rapidly under wise
principles inaugurated by them. Theil
example is spreading throughout the
land, and the accumulations of six
hundred millions of Savings i'll New
England and New York alone bear wit
ness to the wisdom OF. the system.
