w The advocates of cremation, s9ys
the PaE Mall Gazette. must look to their
laurels, which appear likely to- b. wrest-
ed from them by German savant, Dr..
Won Steinbeis. His proposed method Of
disposing of the bodies Of the dead pro-
vides against injury to the living. while
it golfers no violence to the feeling
which shrinks from destroying the
corpse of beloved friend or relation.--
Decomposition is. Of course, an innocu-
ous process provided its results cannoe
infect the air. DR.. Won Steinbeis, thefe<
fore, proposes to cover the BODY with
Roman or Portland cement. which har~
dens into solid mass and renders the
escape of noxious gases impossible. 40.
cording to this plan the corpse would
be placed in sarcophagus of falresdy
hardened cement. the CAVITY IN which
it reposed would be filed up with the
same material, and both would harden
together into thick slab Of substance
resembling stone. Thus the deceased
buried in this manner would rest Within
instead of under his tombstone, and
grave and monument be comprised IN
the same block Of imitation graAite.

A SENSIBLE CoNcLUsIoN.-Mr.J J. B.
Hulsey, leading Democratic politician
in Eastern Oregon, and Chairman of
Democratic Central Committee of Union
County, publishes an official manifesto
of which the following is the conclusion:
"The recent past history of the Dem
ocratic party has fully convinced me
that the germ of true Democracy exists
in Union county in such limited quaint
ties as to entirely exclude the idea of
ever organizing a party of any strength,
or one based on great national princi-
pies. Local jealousies, personal spleen,
false representations and malice, are all
subjects of consideration. Party prin-
ciples. if considered at all. are sacrificed
to either OF the former. The actions of
Conventions are totally disregarded.
even in many cases by those who re-
ceive nominations at the hands of those
Conventions. A state of anarchy exists
to-day in the minds of the people of
this county fully equal to that which
existed among the people of the United
States in the years 1860-1. In view Of
these facts firmly believe that the peo
pie should be totally freed from all par
ty ties-the bonds are at best but bonds
of straw. qata
4 If local issues are of greater import
ance than political principles. let local
issues fight it out.
Seeing no further use for political
organization where the actions of Con-
ventions are totally disregarded, ] here
by (by the power granted me by said
Committee on the 18th day Of June,
1874. disorganize the Democratic Cen
trail Committee of Union County, and
resign my position as Chairman.
The political popular sentiment of
Union County is not peculiar at the
present time, but prevails throughout

the country; and this we regard as one
of the most hopeful signs of the times.
When party has outlived its principles
it has outiived its usefulness, and the
only purpose it can serve is simply as
an instrument to promote personal ends.
No one can point to distinctive and
clearly defined principle or measure at is
sue between the Democratic and Repub-
lican parties upon which either party is
united. The party platforms of both
are made up of general platitudes in
volving no general issue. The main
end and object of an opposition party
to check assumptions Of power and re-
form the abuses naturally growing out
of the too long possession of power-is
defeated by keeping up the organization
of the Democratic party upon dead is
sues, recognizing no changes and con-
ceding nothing to past differences. The
people have become tired and disgusted
with being made the mere tools of de-
signing politicians who offer them no.
thing in return but the mere prestige of
party triumph entirely barren of public
benefit, and have determined to be no
longer fettered and trameled by party
obligations which only constrain them
to vote for candidates in whose ability
and honesty they have 70 confidence.
The emancipation of the voters from
party bondage is the only means which
offers a hope for the puri6cation of our
political system; and that is the pre-
vailing opinion among all those who
heretofore served party from disinter-
ested motives. For our own part, if we
have only to choose between the Bour-
bon Democracy and the Administration
party we shall choose the latter. The
first offers no hope of change for the
better; the last is amenable to proper
influences and not welded to any obso-
lete theories; but as a rule, we shall use
our own discretion in voting for candi-
dates, regardless of their party afini-
ties. With regard the Federal officers
in this Territory, we do not believe any
Administration could make appoint
ments in the main more acceptable to
the people, and we desire no changes.
As to the Delegate to Congress, all other
things being equal, policy would dictate
an Administration man, but other mer-
its are requisite to an election.
