ton except the shutting off the current from
the house when desired.
If this report be even measurably true, the
world is about to take another extraordinary
step in the march of material progress, and
one which will result in an immense saving OF
time and money to the community at large.
It will hardly do, however to jump at once
to the conclusion that the story is strictly to
be depended upon. We can wait and In the
meantime, if there is anything in it, our cleo
tricians will be certain to get hold of it. SO
important an invention would be hardly like
" to lie on the shelf long anywhere.

MORE LIGHT.

The new light referred to in the article below
10 the same as that in which Mr. j. p. Wyman
Of this city is interested, and with which he
now eliminates his house. There appears
to be no doubt that the invention is all which
it is claimed to be. The article is from the
Boston Globe.
Some months ago, a story wandered across
from st. Petersburg that famous Russian sa-
want had discovered method for producing
electric light cheaper than gas light, oil light
or any other artificial light, and the great
American heart was exceedingly gadiened
thereat. Visions of days when there should
be no more gas bills, and when the cremation
of carless servant girls by kerosene should
be contingency unknown in suburban house
holds, fitted across the brain of the multitude,
and the anxiety to ascertain how long it would
be before the dawning of the new millennium
was intense. Weeks and months passed and
nothing was heard of the savant or bis discov-
cry, and people generally began to look upon
the story as cruel hoax. Now, Aose,er, by
our latest English files, we learn that the in
vention has been tested, approved, and is to
be at once adopted in the Russian capital,
Consequently, hope once more "springs e.er-
nal in the human breast" and we can go on

The invention, if we can judge from the
brief explanation given, is an exceedingly sim.
pie one. A small tube of glass, not more
than six inches in length, is filled with a pen
Gil of charcoal; the air is then exhausted, and
the tube Theoretically sealed. A moderate
current Of electricity is then passed through
the charcoal from an ordinary electromagnetic
ic machine, causing il to glow with a very
brilliant but at the same time a soft light. 1t
is stated that the charcoal is not perceptbly
consumed by the process, but will last for an
indefinite period Of time, and that the strength
Of the current required is SO small that Two
hundred Of these lights, at considerable dis
tances apart, can be easily maintained by a
single machine. The inventor claims that
the whole City Of ST.. Petersburg. both street
lamps, stores aad private residences can be
lighted by a single fifteen horse power ma
chine With no greater cost than that of run
ming the machine. Moreover, all the lamps
n the city would be lighted at the same mo-

There is little prospect. we imagine,
that the currency bill which has passed
the Senate will escape the veto of the
President when it reaches him. If this is
the result the currency question will enter
into the coming elections, and some
changes may ensue in Congress on ac-
count of it. In the East it will have no
disturbing influence, but in the West 1t
will probably be felt, where there appears
to be strong sentiment for expansion
strange as it may appear to hard money
men.

The state of affairs in France is deplor-
able. The country is literally without
government, and the various factions are
intent upon looking out for themselves
rather than the good Of the people. The
late outbreak Of i'll feeling in the Assem-
bly, between the Republicans and Bona
partists, in which Gambetta denounced
the latter and was in turn insulted himself
by Rouher as he was leaving the hall, has
stirred up commotion which extends
widely and threatens to bring on a crisis.
The aggressive attitude of the Bonapar-
lists indicates large degree OF confidence
in their own strength. We hope the Re-
public is not to be snuffed out, but against
all the elements opposed to it it will have
a hard struggle for existence.

WHEREAS, In view of the fact that

burdensome taxes have been levied

ResolUed, That, as laboring men,
will come out and make bold stand
against such unjust oppression and
assert our rights MS freemen, ire
spective of old party ties and preju-
dices, and will ever be found battling
for just and impartial laws, and will,
to the bitter end, oppose any and all
efforts by designing triclsters and
dishonest politicians for riding into
Office by this bartering and selling
game, thereby trampling under foot
the will Of the people.
ReSolvod, That we have the moral
courage to cut ourselves loose from

tend for the rights of laboring men
of all Glasses; that we will support
none but honest and temperate men
for Office, and that VIC will hereafter
oppose any and all chronic and con-
stitutional office-seelIers.

TINE SITUATION on run OTHER SIDE.

THE SITUATION ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Inst week the Republican State
Central Committee met at Portland,
and called State Convention to
meet at Salem on the 18th of April.
Before the Committee adjourned four
members resigned, viz; Bristow of
Lane, Ballard Of Linn, Nichols of
Polk and Parrish Of Multnomah, leav-
ing their respective counties unrep-
resented in the Committee. This
was doubtless movement in the
independent interest. prompted by
disgust at tho coruptions of the
Nipple party Of tho State, as well as
at the hopeless prospect Of ever be-
ing elected to Office by that rotten
and domorlized party.
We understand that an attempt
was made by the four resigning mem
bers to disband tho Committee and
the party and return homo without
making a call for a State Convention;
but the Custom House Ring and Fed
oral appointees throughout the State
fought this design with an energy
born Of desperation, and as conse-
qlonce, succeeded in securing a call
for n Convention, This was of course
dono to make showing Of strength
to the powers at Washington from
which source their bread and butter
omenates,
There is now no doubt that a
straight Republican ticket will be
placed in the field and that a MAORI

ABOUT POLITICAL REyoRsI AND RE
FORMERS.

It is the curse Of Republics that
no movement at reform can be made
by the honest masses without TIE in
reference Of class Of shallow
Drained shysters who fancy them
selves qualified to lead. These in
corrigiBle pests are public nuisance
and should be treated by the people
with no more consideration than is
accorded o professional pick-pocket
among an asscmblage Of honest men.
They are impudent or supercilious,
cringing or defiant, as their selfish
and cowardly instincts may chance to
dictate. We have in our minds eye
one CT more Of these detestable char
acters who desire to come to the sur
face in the politics Of this State, and
to accomplish their design they are
capering about and crying reform,
reformp We warn the people to be
not deceived BY these yelping span
iels. When any man aspires to the
leadership Of q great political move
mcnt, let his past acts be scrltinized;
if he has held public position, let his
official record be inspected, and if it
is found that he betrayed his trust
by bartering the honors of his Office
for gain, let him be treated as q fell
on, which he is.
The people Of Oregon will remem-
Der that when the Oregon Central
Company was first organ
lied, with George L. Woods as Pres
ident, the Company" issued several
hundred thousand dollars of stock,
and agents were appointed to can
vass this and other counties and per-
suade the farmers to buy this spuri-
Gus stock OF ten cents on the dollar.
In Marion county considerable
amount was sold, and the purchasers
were assured that if ut any time, nf-
ter the expiration Of one year, they
should wish to dispose Of their stock,
the Company the mythical A. ].
Cooke & Co.-would pny them the
face Of their certificates. It's need
less to add that the purchasers of
this bogus stock were yictimized for
every cent they inveeted. Now what
oan be thought Of those who ndvo-
Gated the sale of this stock by de-
,laring with both pen and voice that
i was good investment?
Are such men the proper persons
% take the lead in q great political
'efolm movement? Should they not
.ather be held up to pnblic scorn by
,very honest man? There can be
1ut one answer to this inquiry. Yet
ye find the most scrvile of the vile
ools who figured in this nefarious
business issuing call for "peo-
,le's convention" for the purpose Of
nominating q State ticket. Again
We say to the people who dream of
N independent political movement,
ook well into the designs of those
yho are so ready to assume the lead.
The Republican party is powerless
n this State, md much that is being
aid in advocacy Of n new party is
imply an effort to blind honest men
nd retrieve the fallen cause Of Rad
,aHsm.
