TaE xEwsPApsa PesrAoE LAW


The Western Paper Trade, monthly
journal devoted 70 the interests Of the pa
per trade Of the West, says truthfully,
that 1.-THE law In regard to newspaper
postage adopted by the last Congress
''has long since proved itself not only IN
"outrage upon the publishers and the
''public generally, but also . failure so
''far a the expected increase Of revenue
ITO the government 10 concerned Fol-
lowing this assertion Is brief enumera-
tion Of some OF the objections to the law.
hut the one that has the most force with
10 IL not mentioned, and that Is. that this
law has tendency to crush ont Of exist.
encs all small moring daily journals like
the BULLETIN. Under the old law we
could mail the BULLETIN after the edi.
ton was was worked on and 1t would
reach our subscribes outside the city
on the lines OF railroad centering
here on the morning OF its publication;
but, under the new law. postage must be
paid on each day before the paper is
mailed, and this we cannot do in Cairo
until the postoffice has been opened in
the morning Of the day of issue. In this
way our paper is delayed In Cairo one
day, and subscribers who obtained the
paper under the old law in the morning
or day 1t was issued cannot now get il
until the next day. In the large cities a
man Is provided by the postoilioe depart
ment to each Office FROM which mora
ing paper Is issued, and II Is his duty 10
weigh ANA stamp the edition a soon as
it IL printed 80 that it can be put into the
mail on the morning of its publication !;
but to little daily morning paper Once
no Aail man Is supplied. the postOliice
men OF the iowa wherein it is published
cannot remain IN the Office TO receive the
edition Of the paper, and the mail mcn OIL
the mail cars cannot, under the law in
force, receive the edition on tile mail car.
The consequence Is, AS we have said, that
the small daily morning journals cannot
get their editions into the mail until
hours after they could BE- got in under
the old law, and thus their subscribers
outside Of the places In which they are
published are compelled to drop of or
put up with very stale local and mercan-
tile and other news.

The Democratic State Convention
which is to assemble at Salem in less
than two weeks, should not take into
account the superior claims Of any
man to the nomination for Congress.
1t is only important for this Conven-
ton to consider that a candidatein all
respects unexcsptiOnable should be
placed before the people.
The claims Of locality or the de-
mands Of any individual should be
made subservient to the one great con-
siderhtion, the old Jeffersonian test
Ills he honest2 Is he capableT
No member Of the party has the right
topresshis claims on personal grounds
for nomination. The Democratic
party owes its popularity, its hold
upon the people, not to any mans
work or influence, but to the undy-
ing principles upon which it is found
ed-equal and exact justice to each
individual and all classes. The Dem
ocratic party is strong with the peo-
pie because ii believes in no more
laws than necessary to protect the
rights OF citizens, and preserve an
even balance between the three great
industriesof the country agriculture,
commerce and manufactures. Its
opponents under all names have OPP
pressed the agricultural interest,
while the Democratic party, when
ever in power, fostered and protect
ed it; hence its hold upon the small
landowners, which no misrepresen-
tations of its enemies can loose.
The literature, the capital and great
newspapers, because dependent upon
capitalists for support. are now, as
they have always been, against it.
Yet, in the face Of this powerful OPP
position it has triumphed, and in
spite Of them will triumph again.
The party, then, owes no man favors,
aud whether this or that man stands
or falls, is as nothing in it's onward
march to it's future destiny, which is
70 execute the will Of a sovereign
people, and not to govern from aseat
Of centralized power, forty millions
Of freemen.

The Democratic Central Committee
Of CAL, met last week and resolved to
make the campaign in that State
"red-hot," Besides long list of 10,
cal canvassers, the Chronicle says
they have secured the services of the
following eminent Eastern orators
for the campaign; Ex-Governor
Walker of Virginia, Senator Thur
man of Ohio, Sunset Cox Of New
York, and Chymer and Kendall of
Pennsylvania. Walker has the rep
utation Of being a good speaker and
the handsomest man ever called to a
gubernatorial chair. Thurman is one
Of the ablest Of Democratic politicians
and sound on the specie question.
Cox is a brilliant and witty speaker,
and the terror Of reporters. The two
Pennsylvania gentlemen are well
known, but have less reputation for
rhetorical ability.

SENATOR KELLY AND GOV. oROvER
AT ASTORIA

= The Aslorian Of last Saturda,
gives an accountof the visit OF thosl
two distinguished gentlemen to As
toria from which we extract the fol
lowing;
"After their arrival al the Occiden
Monday evening, the Astoria Brass
Band rendered the distinguished Wis
itors serenade, which called botH
Senator Kelly and Governor Grover
out in neat, brief, and appropriate
addresses. Col. Kelly was confident
the time was speedily coming when
the ships Of the ocean would meet
the ships Of the river at Astoria, and
he dwelt upon the point that Oregon
was rich enough, broad enough, fer
tile enough, to sustain a city here at
the mouth of the noble Columbia
river, second only to one like San
Francisco. Mr.. Kelly was laborinP
under the disadvantage of a fearful
cold, contracted on his way hither
from the National Capitol, and re-
tired after thanking the citizens for
the compliment paid to him.
Governor Grover was in apparent
good humor. He had come down by
chance, as the guest of his friend
Col. Teal; to rest awhile, and enjoy
the magnificent sea breezes abound
ing here. He was greatly pleased
and grati6ed to witness the evidences
of Oregon's prosperity in the growth
and development of Astoria, the past
two years. Was highly gratifed
with all he had seen, all along our
beautiful river from Portland, and
was now more fully prepared than
ever to say that Astoria was destined
to become the great city Of the new
Northwest. He very happily hit the
popular pulse in referring to the Co.
lumbia river as the great common
gateway to Eastern Oregon and
Washington, and Idaho. Improve
the Cascades, improve the Dalles of
the Columbia, as the Willamette falls
have been improved, says Governor
Grover, then the people of that
otherwise favored region will have
an outlet to the sea-will have easy
communication with Astoria-and
Astoria, thus possessed Of the advan-
tages of an unbroken chain of water
communication stretching far interi-
or; far into Idaho; through the finest
lands of the Pacific States--the Co
lumbia river basin advantages pos
sessed by no other point competing
for the prize Of the Sea Port of Ore
gon, would have no further obstacles
in the way of asserting her claim as
such. Governor Grover discussed
the subject of fisheries on the Colum-
bia river, the revenue derived both
to the nation and the State, as well
as to individual interests, in a very
plain and intelligent way--showing
an understanding of the situation at
once, and mind capable Of working
out the problem to the advantage of
this commonwealth. 1875

glory lead but to the grave.u
