Oregon State Fair.

Twelve years ago, when a lad and
more interested in side shows and the
lofty tumblings in the circus, than in
agricultural products or farm machinery,
we visited the Oregon State Fair.
This year we went with an eye to other
things. and after stay OF twenty four
hours came away fully realizing that
Oregon has not been idle during the
long interim. The display of blooded
stock, fine horses, cattle, sheep, hogs,
poultry, ETC., indicate that the people
are taking lively interest in the i'm
provement of this department of the
farmers sphere. The display of agri-
cultural machinery is crcditable to the
dealers in this branch of business. The
pavilion is replete with the usual num-
Der of exhibits from a grain of clover
seed, to III pound squash, ora baby's
pinafore, to cabinet cased sewing ma
chine of Wheeler and Wilson's patent,
which took the first premium here, as it
is doing elsewhere in the United States.
The needle work department was well
filled with many things curious, beau
tiful and useful. Our farmer Geo. J.
Tooley got the premium on Seeding
peaches, which in view Of the competi-
ton in the fruit department was quite a
victory. The product of the PlummcI
preserving process was displayed to fine
advantage under glass. Mr.. Plummer
has one of his 5000 family machines on
exhibition which attracts attention.
The annual address was delivered FRI
day morning, by DR.. w. L. Adams of
Portland, who is an old resident of Or
egon and well qualified for the task of
reviewing the progress Of the country.
Mr.. W. p. Watson of Hood River, was
chosen President of the Association at
the election on Wednesday. The attend
ance is not as large as was expected, but
on Thursday there was a great throng
with the arrival of the train from Port
land. Most of them, however, returned
in the evening. Montgomery Queens
Circus Company is doing good bust
ness, so is Woods Museum with Hines
Oils as assistant manager. On the
whole the Fair is success, though it
fails to come up to the great expecta-
tons Of this 'great Centennial year."

Ohio and Indiana.

The long anticipated election in
the States of Ohio and Indiana has
at last transpircd. AT the present
writing, FRIDAY morning) the latest
news is to the effect that the Repub-
licans have carried Ohio by 900
majority for their candidate for Gov
crnor, and 5000 majority on the res,
of the State ticket. The Democrat
cy have carried Indiana by from -
900 to 1000 majority. This news i
more encouraging to Republicans
than to Democrats. Nothing hut re-
laxcd vigilance can defeat the Ma
tional Republican ticket. The signs
of the times point to victory in No.

Purcell'S Manifesto.

Archbishop Purcell's recent friendly
manifesto on the school question does
moi seem to be regarded by the Protest
ant press as representative Catholic
utterance. Having quoted from the
Cincinnet prelate to show that in 1869
he wanted to rev olutionize the system,
the New York Waterman goes on to
express its doubts in detail, and con.
cludes: ave cannot be blamed for not
feeling any confidence in the professions
of these priests. Questions of policy
underlie their present attitude; but it is
for the people Of America to avail them
selves of the lull in the agitation to Sc
cure by every possible guarantee our
free school system from the future
Vaccinations of its clerical enemies"

Integrity of Character.

A writer in the Willamette Farmer
signing himself f. s. S. offers the fol-
lowing sensible remarks:
1t is more advantageous for the
youth to obtain integrity of character,
than it is to try to hoard up this worlds
goods. Finance, without doubt, is good,
but let the youth first obtain integrity
Of character and next wealth. l cannot
too deeply impress upon the minds of
our young men the Importance of alb
staining from everything that will not
have bearing in obtaing for them the
confidence and esteem of the wise and
the good. A young man may be unfor-
tunate, he may be poor and penniless,
but if he possesses unbounding integri.
ty, and unwavering purpose to do what
ever is honest and just, he will secure
friends and patrons, whatever may be
the endorsements and exigcncics into
which he is thrown. Difficulties of
unsurmountable heights may thus be
passed without struggle on their part,
and the young may thus secure CAPT
tai, of which none of the misfortunes
and calamities of life can deprive them.
Youths have risen from penury to the
United States Senate, and other offices
equally as high, and why not the youths
of this day: Because they lack the
energy. They do not prize intcgrit, of
character highly enough. They do not
enter life with the determination to be
strictly honest. Let industry, honesty
and integrity of character be your fore
most notices, and you will be sure to
be foremost in the race for fame. Men
have suddenly become reduced from
afilucnce to penury by some overwhelm-
ing misfortune, which they could Meth
er torsee nor prevent-to-day they are
prosperous, Tomorrow every prospect
blghted- business gone, their
prosperity gone, and they feel that all
is gone; but they possess one treasure
which nothing can take away-integri-
ty of character. 1t raises them up
friends, and procures for the pecuniary
aid, with which to commence life once
more under suspicious circumstances.
Integrity of characicr--who ever pos
scssed it that did not derive untold BEN
Gifts from it: 1t is richer than gold, it
is Of more value than rubes and all pre-
cicus stones, and yet every one may
possess it, the poor may have it. and no
power OH earth can wrest it from them.
Young men, prize integrity Of character
above all earthly gifts.

Independent Candidate.

II. G. Comcgys, of kalama, re-
quests lis to announce him as an in
dependent candidate for Treasurer
Of Cowlitz county. In his letter he
says:
Specifically l have always been a
Republican, but am not one of the
machine kind. Believing that a
man should obey his conscience first,
l acknowledge no political masters
hence as Republican am not al
ways considered orthodox by those
who believe in the ring and machine
practice"

A Word About our Fisheries.

The entire shipment of canned salmon
by sea and land from this port abroad
through San Francisco during twelve
months, ending August Cd, was 1869
crses. This is estimated to be worth
about Sl,500,00O. Great Britain of
course, took the lions share. Here let
us remark that it is great pity that we
are at present taking no ettectual means
to export the immense overplus of her
rings, sardines and anchovies that swarm
on this coast, Notwithstanding these
smaller fish can be easily packed and
preserved. Sardines are best when
packed in oil, anchovies in brine, and
behring's in brine, smoked and dried.
But they are all exceedingly good
in any form, and command ready sale
in the interior of all the States. As

LEWIS RIVER, Oct 9TH, 1876.


EDITOR INDEPENDENT:
Being a new resident of the county
yet long enough to be entitled to vote,
| have sought information in regard to
"men" as well as measures and parties.
When the Republicans made their
nominations loud cry went out about
'beardless boys" ard "dishonesiy of
candidates. Well, l thought l would
wait and see, and that probably the
Democrats would bring forth candidates
with the concentrated wisdom only to
be found among grey and bald heads
but see their legislative ticket has
one nominee not older than either on
the other, and on inquiring find that
their candidate for sheriff is little older
than the Republican candidate for treas
urer, and after scratching my head to
solve the difficulty, l conclude to solve
the difficulty by the wise mans rule.
"Wisdom is the grey hair to youth, and
an unspotted life is old age" So i
shall select my candidates for Legis-
lative honors, among the three young
men.
Then ''they say, the republican nom
ince for Treasurer is but a boy-and
poor, | inquire aAd find he was born
among you-reared among YOU or
rather against every obstacle has raised
himself, head and shoulders above Others
of his age around him. and is moreover
capable, honest and above rcproach.
remember another thing in the good
book. "A good name is rather to be
chosen than great riches" Now Mr..
Editor | do not always vote with nv
party, but desire to vote for good men
only-Hepublicans if l CALI If not
why l will mix in few Democrats.

School Teachers.

Speaking of some of the qualifications
of the school teacher, an exchange APP
propriately remarks:
Another of Natures special gifts to
the successful teacher OF children is u
cheerful and hopeful disposition.
Some persons are conslitutionally
gloomy and responding. They always
look Oh the dark side Of this bright
world; never see the "silver lining that
gilds the dark cloud over hanging them;
and hence they wear upon their coun-
tcnance, and express i'll their words, Il
tunereal gloom that dispels all cheerful
ness and shuts ont the sunlight from
the heart. These men and women de.
spair of the future; anticipate no good
for themselves or others; and hence set
tie down in gloomy dependency to
brood over their misfortunes. Now it
requires no argument to show the un.
desirableness Of placing these despon-
ders in the school room.
''As the teacher is, so is the school"
The gloom and hopelcssncss which he
cherishes will be impaired to his pupils,
to suppress their chcerfulness, dampen
their enthusiasm, aud discourage their
efforts. The expression of his counien-
ance, the tones of his voice, and indeed
his very presence, cast gloom over the
buoyant hearts of childhood and youth.
On the ether hand the cheerful and
hopeful teacher inspires his pupils with
his own spirit, and animates them by
his own living example. And children
need this inspiration and encouragement
more than instruction. Their improve
ment while in school depends upon moth
ing so much as the happy smile and
cheerful words OF the hopeful and en-
thusiastc teacher. This very hopeful
ness enables the teacher to secure ill.,.
best results of directed efforts. He has
to deal with dullness and stupidity; and
he sees little or no improvement from
day to day. He is sometimes ready to
give up in despair; but he remembers
that the development Of mind, like the
growth of the tree, is by slow and i'm
perceptihle degrees. The steady oak
that now defcs the storm and tempest
is the product of hundred years; and
the intellect and character which gives
manhood and womanhood proud pre-
eminence in positions of influence and
usefulness have often been untolded by
the patient toll of the hopeful teacher
under the most trying difficulties. Let
it not be forgotten by parents, therefore,
that nothing can compensate for the
wants OF cheerful and hopeful dispo-
sition in the instruction of their children.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1876-10-14
Rings.

No matter how fairly convention
may be conducted, there will nearly
always be found somebody who, dis
pleased with the nominations, or dis
appointed in his political aspirations,
will charge that there was ring,
"murdeyous coalition" affected to defeat
the will of the party as sought to be
expressed in the convention. Some
times there is ground for such charge,
but often i, is entirely groundless and
traceah.e 10 the tongue of a disappoint-
cd aspirant The late Republican Con-
vention OF this County, was doubtless
as fairly conducted and as free of rings,
is anv ever held in this county, yet the
assertion is made that there was a ring
there ofthe most gigantic dimensions. 1t
is an easy matter to assert, but often quite
difficult to prove. A man may deny
that he had anything to do with ring
in convention, but what does a denial
amount to, for if he had been so engaged,
would he hesitate to deny it? Shall
he therefore be called on to prove a
negative: or shall he say nothing until
some evidence more than mere assertion
or hearsay is brought against him:
Voters should bear these questions in
mind when they hear would be wise
acres, with shake of the bead, talk
ing OF the rings in convention. Re-
mcmbering that any sore-heai may
make an assertion which an army of
them could not prove.
In regard to the late Republican
Convention held in Vancouver we
challenge those men who complain of
ring nominations, and allege them as a
result of compromises, jobs, private I'M
derstandings, Or any other corrupt, un-
fair Or under-handcd proceeding, to
furnish the proof. The names of all
the delegates to that convention have
been published, it is therefore known
who they are. None of them are bound
by obligations of secrecy, if they are
aware of any fraud Or duplicity being
prac1iccd upon them, let them speak.
As whole that was an honorable body
of men, and the man who complains of
rings jobs and compromises, insults the
dignity of the convention. The intelli-
gent voter will demand the proof before
he credits the assertions of those who
would create dissatisfaction when no
cause for it exists. Appearances, are
sometimes mole-hills to be magnified
into mountains; but often mountains are
formed where even the appearance OF a
molc-hil is wanting.
