matter of establishing a mandatory

said that by making their own plows,
a saving Of fifty per cent. can be
effected, while four hundred dollars
can be saved on each threshing ma

would do well to initiate this sensible
example instead of sending half their
yea rlyearnings out of the country for
agricultural implements. That's
where the money goes.

The California Legislature has just
adjourned, and although the Re-
formers had sufficient majority to
elect Booth to the United States
Senate, they failed to pass many i'm
portant measures which they had
pledged themselves to enact. The
reduction Of the salaries Of State off
GERS was loudly clamored for by the
people and profusely promised by the
candidates for Legislative honors;
but bill looking to that end was
smothered under bills for jobs and
steals, and passed both houses too
late to secure executive approval be-
fore the adjournment of the Legisla-
ture.
Another important measure to the
people Of that State was the passage
Of a law for the regulation Of freights
and fares on railroads; but this also
failed, and the people of California
are left for another term of years in
the merciless grasp of the giant rail
road monopolists. It is a gratifying
fact that almost all the efforts looking
to the accomplishment of this i'm
portant object were inaugurated and
championed by the Democratic mem
bers Of the Legislature, who strongly
and persistently asserted that the
had the power to regulate
and control railroads in the matter of
their charges for transportation Of
persons and property, and that it was
the imperative duty of that body to
exercise such power so as to secure
to the people Of the State the trans
portatid1i Of products Of industry and
labor at reasonable rates.
We most earnestly trust that the
citizens of Oregon will not meet with
the same fate from our next Legisla-
ture that our California neighbors
did. We urge upon our Linn County |
Democratic Convention, to commence
in this city next Saturday, to exercise
the utmost care md Judgment in se-
Letting candidates for the Logisla-
lure. We will elect nine from this /
county-three Senators and six Rep
resentatiyes- they should be
men who are known for their sound
Judgment, honesty of purpose and
to their pledges. With
such a Legislative ticket, standing
upon a platform pledging the accom-
Dlishmont Of these reforms which our
California neighbors failed to secure,
,ur whole ticket will receive q greater
majority in Linn than ever before.
4 mistake in this important respect,
oy, our County Convention, will
greatly weaken our ticket il it does
not jeopardize its election.

FIRE Ar JAcKsONvLLE.

A fire broke out in the town Of
Jacksonville about 4 o'clock Tuesday
morning. It originated near the
southeast corner Of Oregon and Cali
fornia streets, in a row Of old frame
buildings, and soon got beyond con-
troll. Although no wind was blow
ing, the dry lumber blazed SO high
and the flames spread os rapidly that
nothing could be done to check the
confagration until it had spread
across to houses of like character on
the north side of the street. Part Of,
two blocks, embracing some brick
buildings, are consumed, all bust
ness houses and the heart of the
town. The estimated loss is between
sixty and sixty-fve thousand dollars,
with an insurance Of about seventeen
thousand dollars.

MENrnIs THEATgR. Notwithstanding
the other attractions in the city last
night a large and fashionable audience
appeared at the theatre to witness L. L..
Davenport in his mastery rendition Of
the character Of Sir Giles 0verreach' in
Messengers play, A New Way to Pay
Old Debts. 1t has been a long time since
so rare a dramatic treat has been pre-
sented in our city. Mr.. Davenport came
to Memphis almost unheralded, but at
one bound he has csp,ivated the regular
play goers, the critics and the people Of
taste who can distinguish the lights
and shades of dramatic genius.
Indeed, it may be said with truth, that
so magnificent Nan impersopation has
not been witnessed in our city for years,
if ever. But few actors now essay the
great role of Sir Giles 0verreach," the
great strain in keeping up the wonderful
character through FIVE acts being rather
more than actors have taste for, even
it they possess the talent, and in conse.
quence they appear in other roles de,
prived of this objection. The portrait
Of the sordid, villainous, but courageous
wretch, "Sir Giles 0verreach," as pre-.
scented by Mr.. Davenport, was one of
those masterpieces not often seen in a
life time, and when seen will be remem-
bered forever. AS the Appeal happily
put it this morning, " Artists may come
and 90, yet but few of them can leave
any more enduring memory of art
than did Mr.. Davenport last night.
The cast was excellent, and Mr.. Daven-
port received most creditabe support
from the members of the Owens ORA
matte Company. To-day we have not
the space to give q more extended no.
tice Of the splendid performance. To-
night Mr.. Davenport will appear as
Hamlet. Prince of Denmark" and to.
morrow night. by special request, New
Way to Pay Old Debts, will be repeated,
it taking the place of Richard III, as
announced on the bills That Mr.
Davenport will crowd the theater each
night during his engagement has now
become foregone conclusion. Those
desiring to have good seats must speak
in time.

A LEADING business man, who is Re
publican, sends us communication dis
approving the mass meeting called for
tonight, which be looks upon as a great
piece of folly. We would publish it
cheerfully but for the lateness of the
hour and the crowded condition of cur
columns with important matter. No
one is compelled to 90 to that meeting
nor to indorse it. The Constitution,
however. guarantees the right of assem-.
bling peaceably and the right of petition.
No doubt our Republican friend in bis
zeal for Barbour Lewis thinks it is all
right to parade military power in the
face Of the people as backwoods school
teacher would flourish the birch over his
pupils. But there is principle involved
which should be considered. If Attorney
General Williams can scatter troops
about the country TO carry elections the
Democrats when they come in power
might feel justified in following such a
precedent.
