ABATE THE NUISANCE.

There is one nuisance in the United
States that needs to be abated. That
nuisance is the present partisan man
ner Of conducting the Associated
Press. 1t has become almost impos.

gathering because this association
sends only the partisan view Of it.
Thus in the fall elections il put Hayes
majority in Ohio at 20 900 or 30. 900,
when il dwindled down TO barely
5000. 1t gave Kirkwood, in Iowa,

The majority 10 Pennsylvania has
dwindled from $4,000 to II 900, while
Wisconrin has gone from 10000 down

agant as this proposition may appear
at first sight, the people Of Oregon
are guilty OF follies but little less
reprehensible. With vast amount

With the best wool growing coun-

With climate peculiarly adopted

but the foregoing is sufficient. Any
individual Of ordinary mental calibre
can see Mt a glance that they are
follies for which our people are pay

will the business men Of our cities
and farmers unite in efforts to the
end that different state of things |
shall hereafter exist, which shall he

article manufactured from iron, tim
Der, wool, or fax, now imported into
this State, may be made within the
State, and instead of the people of
Oregon being importers they may be-

of money now sent abroad would bo

tion, and inaugurating state Of
prosperity among all classes Of the

what reform means Andhow itshculi

the now dofunct Independent par
ty Of Oregon, in the campaign las
year, was "Reforml' and as . rulI
their candidates didn't know the def
milton Of tho word nor how to apply
it to the then existing statoof affairs
In the Legislature they enacted cum
brous laws that cannot bo enforced
and whore they hayo had the man
agemonL Of county affairs they have
generally proven incompetent, and
their official acts have become bur
densopO TO the Taxpayers. Such
"roform" is no reform at all, lgno.
rance and stupidity might sometimes
stumble into a reformation, but Ia
our mind the safest way to accom-.
plish important results is to bring
into iequisition at least q higher
standard Of intelligence and judg-
ment than was ovinced in some Of
the acts OF our last Stata LogiSlA-
turo. We do not argue that wo noc-
Ossarily require statesmen or strate-
gists in our Legislative councils, but
we should have men who combine
intelligence with honesty and sagAci-
ty with truth in order TO guard our
interests and enact safo and wise
laws for the government Of our peo--
pie.
The custom has heretofore pre-
vailed in the various parties Of this
State to nominate mon for Office on
the ground Of ''locality"--sO that all
portions Of the people may bo repre-
sented; and this is a good custom
when feasible. But whore a candid
ate has no other qualification for q
position than the fact that he resides
at certain section stake or cross
road, his claims ON the public sup
port ought to be slim indeed, The
question Of Locality is all right il
the candidate be possessed Of the
more essential elements Of an accept
able official, but II is high time that
we ignore such n claim on it's own
merits alone.
We trust that the Democracy Of
the several counties Of the State in
nominating their county and legiGla-
live officers next Spring, will exercise
due prudence in the matter spoken
Of, Nominate honest, trustworthy
and intelligen. men, and there can
bo no fear but that tho people will

The mistake too often heretofore
made, of selecting candidates on

our action at the ballot box.

nnnaURsT1oNOEPARDONMA AGAIN.
ThoOyegOnian is making deaperat
aGtempta 10 twist out Of its ridicuIou
poaitonont hcpardonqu question, butit
damagoguory becomes moro patent a
eyery effort. Notwithstanding ii
criticism on the mode adobted b,
Superintendent Watkinsi in reporting
the table which we published lasl
week, the facts stand square out fol
any method Of comparison that car
be adopted that Gov, Growers two
predecessors issued two pardons tg
his one, and more too, in proportioh
to the prisoners in the Penitentiary
There isno dodging this plain state
ment of a palpable fact and we again
ask The 0regonidR, as we did last
week ifGov. Grover has abused the
pardoning power, what did Gibbs
ana Woods do?
But the 0regonim now quibbles
about the limb Of pardOns granted,
and attempts TO make capital against
tho Democratic administration in
that particular, It states ina vague
sort Of way that Gov, Growers par
dons have been in more aggravated
cases Of crime than those Of his pred
ecessors, but doesn't give a compari-
aOn. The kind Of pardons granted
BY each Executive is fully shown
in the appendix to the Biennial mes
sages, and the Legislatures and the
press and the people have had these
exhibits set before them every other
year; hence the Ore9onian has no
excuse for making its general charges
without giving facts and figures.
But again: That paper wants to
know about the release Of prisoners
at the close of their terms, These
releases are made by the law itself
and the Governor has no right, even
il he had the desire, to do otherwise
than as the law plainly prescribes.
Section "a, page 7O3, Of the General
Laws of Oregon, reads;
'Ths Superintendent shall make
an estimate of the time allowed to
each convict for merit marks on
good behavior and industry and if
upon the approach Of the expiration
oi his or her sentence, it be found
that he or she has q credit Of at least
two-thir1s Of the whole time that the
law would grant. Il his or her con-
duct had been peIiect, he shall deduct
the time that has been aHolced to such
eonvict from the time of his or her
sentence. 8
The law then requires the Super
inlondent to report this state Of facts
to the Governor, who may remit this
time from the convict's sentence.
Although the word ''may" is used in
requiring Of the Governor this duty, |
the Oregonian editor surely has too
much good sense to deny that the
literal meaning Of the law is that the
Governor shall do this thing. For it |
would be the last Of absurdities on q
law to prescribe a system Of merit
marks and declare the convict en-
titled to a shortened sentence for
good conduct and labor, and then
say that there is 10 duty incumbent
on the Governor to execute the law.
Such Interpretation Of the law would
not only be the hight of nbsurdity
but would be the grossest and mean
est injustice, as well as inhuman,
and the Oregonian would be the first
to assault any Executive as inhumAn
who would undertake to place such
an Interpretation upon it.
We hope that paper win deal with
this question fairly and squarsly, and
then we viii see who will go to the
wall.
