THE ABD1cATIoN ScARE.-It is ru-
nored that the Gar of all the Russias
contemplates abdicating the throne in
favor Of the Czarovitcb. It is stated
that the Czarovitch dislikes the Ger
mans, that the political policy of Rus
sis would, under his rule, undesgo an
immediate change, and France would
be encouraged and supported in her
views, which are known to be hostile to
Germany. In the event Of all this q
Rigautic European war would result
such time Of bloodshed and havOch
as probably never has yet been wit
messed. Hence the scare in Europe
We are inclined to doubt the report o
the Cars intended abdication, but
there may be truth in il for all that.

BY ADDISON JONES, SALEM, OREGON.


During last year, Sunday excursion
trains were run to the Centennial exhibit
tion grounds A few weeks ago peti-
tton was in circulation IN New Jersey
asking the Legislature TO stop thosest trains.
II they refuse to do it, and the Sunday
trains run again this year, other roads VIII
probably do the same, and Sabbath breakers
from Baltimore. Washington, and multi
tnde of smaller towns will pour into Phila-
delphia until the Quaker city will be innn-
dated.
We protest. Even Quakers have come
rights which other men ought to respect;
and though we are in far-of Oregon, we
have right to complain; for bad examples
are contagious, and we are parties concern
ed. The most Obscure family, getting
water FROM hydranE, wOaId have right
to cry out IL some bad men should build q
tannerJ or slaughtcr-honse at the head OF
the reservoir from which they must drink
wealth, perhaps, to the perpetrators. but
death to the victims.
Philadelphia is an influential city. Her
religious books and missionaries go every
where. Corrupt that fountain. and we all
suffer. How much would the gamblers
and Sabbatl-breAkers Of the West be in

them again In Oregon? We shONld great

Now it Is not strange that when young
men have been obliged to break the fourth

We hope every editor and preacher will

THE YOCUM TRIAL.

The trial of B. G. Yocum, County
Treasurer of Chester, for breach of trust
and larceny, has been progressing for the
past few days before Judge Northrop,
who was assigned to hear the case in con-
sequence of the recent personal difference
between Judge Mackey and the defen-
dant. Up to the last account no testimo-
ny warranting q conviction was obtained
The most important feature of this case
is, that Judge Mackey had issued a habea'
corpus for John Lilly, an ex-member OF
the Legislature, who was in the peniten-
tiary upon conviction for a felony, in Or
der to procure his testimony against
Yocum.
When Lilly was offered as a witness
the defendants counsel objected on
account of his incompetency. Judge
Northrop sustained the objection, and
thereupon the Solicitor produced a par
don from Governor Chamberlain for
Lilly, which contained the following
proviso: "On condition that the pre-
siding Judge shall only deliver said par
don when he shall certify under his hand
and seal to me that the said John Lilly
has testified in the trial of B. G. Yocum
fully and in good faith" Judge
Northrop very properly decided that this

A CARD.

The action of the Brushy Creek Demo
cratic Club, in proposing my name
among others as suitable one to be con-
sidered at the primary election to repre-
sent Anderson County in the Legislature,
awakens gratitude for the kindness and
partiality exhibited by the citizens of
that locality. Yet, I am compelled to
urge most respectfully prompt declina-
ton of the intended honor, as I cannot
consent to become candidate in the en-
suing campaign. The position occupied
by me as public journalist, advocating
the interests of the Democratic party,
renders it matter of vital Importance,
in nv judgment, that my efforts be un-
mixed with personal or political prefer
ment in any manner or form, and am
convinced that my influence can be
welded more effectively for others than
were to accept any nomination for pub
lie Office. Such has always been my pri-
vate conviction of the duties of a journal
ist, but, if in the past ] have yielded to
the persuasions of partial friendship, my
experience teaches that the freedom, in
dependence and unselfshness of patriot
can best be illustrated by an editor when
he is not candidate. have every con-
fidence that the Democracy of Anderson
County will place able, upright and COM
peteut men in the field for every position,
and it will be a great pleasure for me
to work earnestly and unremittingly for
their success. But I must be allowed to
withdraw my name from further consid-
Grafton in the canvass, and be left un-
trammelled to promote the harmony,
unity and ultimate triumph of Democra-
cy, for whose success 1 have labored in
season and out of season, without the hope
of fee or reward.
Very respectfully,
JAMES A. HOYT.
