Probable Indian War.

OMAHA, Feb. IL.
From the most reliable information
it is believed that the Sioux, CHEYENNE
and Arapahoe Indians are making ex-
tensiNe preparations for "A possible out
break in a few weeks. They have been
purchasing large quantities OF ammu
milton and arms wherever they could
get them, going as far south as Indian
Territory for that purpose. II has been
known for some time past that the best
lighting men had deserted The agencies
and were rowing on Big Horn and
Powder River and Tongue countries,
concentrating and arranging for the
war. There are at the agencies and
reservations only those tOo intirm and
disabled to he OF any use. and the fam.
lilies of the warriors who have left. So
far rs known the Indians are likely To
strike the frontier settlements and
unless something is soon done they will
do terrible work before they can be
overpowered.

THE CORN IN MS

up to white heat, and in his frenzy
he attempted q. bit of small wit at our

eft is q significant fact that the OPP
position in this county always puts the
brains of the ticket where the REGISTER

That the g REGISTER editor has

The Democratic ring in this county,
finding that portion of the ticket they
had put up tor the voters of the county,
was sure to be defeated, as even Demo
Gratis can no longer be led by the nose
as in former years, determined to elect
the unpopular portion of the ticket, even
it they had to throw away all the bal
ance. With this intention in view, they
commenced offering to swap two and
three for one! OF course this little
game soon leaked out, and the friends
OF the balance of the ticket threatened
to bolt the entire ticket if this little
game was not stopped, tSee communist
cation in Democrat of last week See
ing that things were getting truly tropi-

grandiloquent style, and charges that
Republicans are offering to swap votes
to elect their Sheriff As usual, this
charge is too thin, and only creaees q

roorbacks are old, wern-out Democratic

THEIR HOBBIES.

Jim Weatherford, Democratic candi-
date for the Legislature, is attempting
to make the county canvass on the Chi.
nese question. Well, this is the
cheapest hobby Jim coull have selected,
as there is no division of opinion between
Democrats and Republicans on this
coast, on the question of Chinese eni-
grafton. IF Jim should be elected, we
suppose the power, heretofore believed
to rest with Congress, to make and un-
make treaties with foreign powers, will
at once be wrested from that incompe-
tent body, and the Oregon Legislature,
under the leadership of Jim Weather
ford, will grasp and settle the mighty
problem without an effort Il ripe
statesman is Jim.
Mr.. Sites, Democratic candidate for
County Clerk, asks that he be elected
because when the Republicans went
into power some years ago, the State
was out of debt with some thousands
in the treasury; but when the present
Democrasic State administration took
the reins there was debt of 500 900.
When asked the question:: " The Dem
Ocrats having had control Of the State
government for six years, what is the
debt now Z" he didn't know; and
when told it was over $500 900, he
dared not deny it. So this little hobby
don't pan out 50 well.

FINE HFORr.

On the evening of May 14th, at
Turn Halle, Portland, Hon. NJ. G.
George, Linn County boy, at present
Republican candidate tor the Safe Senate
from Multnomah county, made one of
the most eloquent and telling speeches
of the campaign. We have room fur
only paragraph, which we give, as
showing the liberal and progressive
spirit of the Republican party:
Has more exalted regard for the
duties of legislator than to attempt 60
legislate his Individual views into laws
regardless of pubic opinion and the
public welfare. The province of legis-
iatUr is To consult all Interests, all views.
and to adjust conflicting matters OF
legis atom with a view to that sustain
ing public opinion which supports all
law. In pursuance of the true province
of leg station Legislators sometimes are
called upon by the highest dictates OF
governmental science and policy to
legislate the reverse of their private
opinions that the public COED and well
fare may be snbserved. When by the
possibility of circumstances such enner-
gencies do arise, we can we'll see how
sdoubly difficult it becomes ftr visiona-
ry fanatic whose intellectual capacity
allows hun to hold but one idea, TO ever
grasp and carry out the true idea OF
legislation and its relationship to inter-
ests and opinions of different constitu-
ents.

For some time past the citirans Of
Scio and vicinity have been urging che
necessity of the building of o bridge
across the Santiam, that they might have
an outlet to market for their produce.
While all were united as to the great
want ofa bridge, they were not no well
united as to the point where the bridge
should be built. One section Of the
Forks wanted bridge across the San.
tam at Or near tho old Solo ferry, which
is neaFly directly east from this city,
and on an air line to Scio. Another
section wanted the bridge built at
Green's ferry, about two and halt miles.
ffom Jefferson. The first point mention
ed lthe bridge at the Scio ierry) would
accotnfpoiats rnucl, lsrger scope of
country, and majority OF the citizens
are in favor of building the bridge at
this point. The old Scio ferry or cross
ing is about midway between Lebanon
and Jefferson, and if the bridge should
be erected at this point, the trade OF the
Forks would be secured to Linn county.
Should Green's ferry or crossing secure
the bridge, Marion county would secure
all the advantages 20 be derived from
the trade OF the Forks. Therefore any
aid extended by our county officials to
building q bridge at Green's ferry,
would be an absolute injury to Linn
county. And yet we are notified from
different points in this county that Judge
Johns has promised the citizens of the
Forks, who are urging the Green ferry
point, to grant the fnzds asked from the
county treasury to erect said bridge,
provided he is elected County Judge
And we still further learn that, TO
make the Green ferry seem the stronger
point, petitions Eaye been circulated
and the signatures Of children, boys
under age, obtained, and that many of
thoec signing are residents of Marion
county. Ifthess statements made 90 us
are facts, and we have no reason to
doubt them, as they were mads to us
by one of the oldest and best eitiAena of
the Forks. it would seen almost inctedi-
be that Judge Johns would make Q
promise, the keeping Of which would
result in lasting injury to the best inter-
ests, not only of q majority Of the people
directly interested, but 10 the interests
of the people of the whole county. We
argue that, it Judge Johns will, to secure
an election, promise to effect measure
thst win be OF incalculable injury to
Linn county, hs Is exactly the man the
citizens of Linn county do not want to
pace at the head ofoounty affairs. We
want a County Judge who will admins
ter the affairs Of Linn county honestly,
and with due regard to the interests
Of each section ahd any man who viii
pander to the selfishness OF few to the
lasting injury Of the great majority,
does not exhibit the right kind Of
honesty to entitle him TO the support of
either Democrats or Republicans.
