ruE DEaorRar.c sRlNAnIEs.

On the S0th instant zone week from
to-morrow) the Democracy of Linn will
hold their primaries for the purpose of
delegates to the County Com
vention, and we earnestly urge upon
the party the Importance Of a full at
tendance. On the character of the del
egates to the County Convention the
ticket to be nominated for county offices
win largely depend It's therefore the
duty of every member of the party to
attend the primery and cast his vote for
men of known respeetability and stand
ing in the community, who do not go
to the Convention as the representative
Of any particular individual, but as in
telligent and honest exponenss Of tie
will of the members of the party col
lectively. The fact is, there is entirely
too much strife engendered over the
two or three paying offices in the coun-
ty., to the detriment of the ticket and
the damage of the party. The great
mass of the Democrats do not care the
toss of copper about anybody's per.
sonal claims, nor have they any partic-
ular objection to any one of fair stand
ing all that they do want is good
ticket, representing the Democratic par
ty and its principles-a ticket composed
of men for whom they can vote with
confidence.
A fair and honest primary is the FIRST
step toward good government, aad that
we believe the Democracy of Linn ex,
pect to have next Saturday. They seem
to feel and know their power, and
they intend to exercise it. To this
no candidate or friend of any candidate
can object. To accomplish this result
the Democrats of Linn will turn out to
the primary en- nlesse and vote for men
whose first object will be the welfare Of
the party and for the best interests Of
the county. It's worse than idle when
the ticket is nominated to complain Of
it if one stays at home and shirks his
plain duty when, as IS now the case,
the opportunity is open to him to act
and impress his ideas upon delegates
who are to form the nominating con
vention. We write this with the view
of drawing attention to the great i'm
portance of primary election, and il
possible to bring out full vote. We
do not think there would be a murmui
of complaint on the part of anyone now
before the people for nomination, il
he failed to receive it at the hands o.
delegates chosen as is here recommend
ed. We hope the delegates viii be un
pledged, and that the dominating idea
of the Convention will be from first tc
last the welfare of the Democratic par
ty, disregarding the claims of any per
son whose success viii not promote the
interests of the party.

OVER IN POLK.

The Polk county RAIDS met in con-
vsntiOn last Friday, and after resolving
in favor Of specie resumption and other
bond-holding dogrnas, they nominated
for Re- ,resentatives, J. D. Lee, F. S.
Powell and Captain Lafollet for Coun-
ty Judge, VIM. Dawson; for County
Clerk, = Linville. The Convention
then adjourned till the next day to hunt
up suitable candidate for Sheriff, but
who they managed to resurrect for that
lamentable and hopeless mission the de
ponent saith not.

THE immediate effect of the passage
of the silver bill on the London Market,
was to advance the price of United
States bonds. Now what have the OPP
Ponents of the bill to sayl Does it
injare the credit of our government to
have our bonds go upJn price on foreign
'changesl In the light of this gratifying
fact, the people will perceive that the
gold organs of this country have been
grossly deceiying them as to the effects
of the bill, or else pretended to wis
dom that they did not possess.

N Union THERE Is STRENGTH.

All our readers viii remember the
story of the King and his sons. He
being upon his death bed, and wishing
to impress indelibly this truth, that in
union there is strength, bade them to
bundle together parcel of sticks, and
fasten them with cord After they
had done so, he commanded each one to
break them, and each one failed to ac-
complish it. He then babe them to
take off the cord, and take the stitks
singly and break them This was cas-
lily accomplished When they had fin
ished, he then remarked Ny sons,
in union there is strength"
We can apply this truth in political
matters as well as any other. just so
long as we remain unit, just so long
viii we be successful.
The Radical party are at this time
doing everything that is possible to dis
rupt our party. They feel the force of
the truth, in union there is strength,
hence they want to break chat unity.
Let us stick together, and be not de-
ceived by our enemies, by enemies of
good government, by those who care
for nothing but self and pelf Let us
guard against anything that will have a
tendency to disrupt our own party and
add strength to the enemy. "Behold
how good and how pleasant it is for
brethren to dwell together in unity"

Five companies Of the Queens Own

gas was turned on in the hall the mob
outside opened FIRE with stones, and a
perfect shower was rained in the win

stopped several times, and one of the
audience proposed they should charge
down stairs and out. This was over
ruled, and the audience waited in dark.

Rossa stole quietly out to King street
and passed unobserved into the crowd,
and the audience got out in twos and
threes after him.

midnight the mob advanced up to Queen
srteet and attacked Cosgreve's trvern
The crowd insid answered with reyolvers

STILES on TRIAL.

The Stiles perjury case has been in
progress at Portland this week, and was
submitted to the jury yesterday, but
up to going to press we had not heard
of the result. 1t is expected, however,
that he will be acquitted, as the prose-
cution doesn't seem much more inter
ested in his conviction than tho defense.

The DECIMAL SYSTEM OF NOTATION.
is, theoretically, ll-suited for the radix of a
system of notation. because it permits of only
one dissection. The half of it is five, an odd
number 1t also is incapable of any other
division. On account of these defects the
system is ill-adapted to the operations of the
shop and market. Although our calculations
are universally made in the decimal system,
none of our tables of weights and measures
are decimals in any one of their subdivisions.
In all departments of trade the current prices
have been derived from a process of success
i've halvings. The shopman reckons by
halves. quarters, eighths, sixteenths and thir-
ty-seconds and not by 1ifths or tenths The
yardstick in its practical use into halves,
quarters, eighths, etc, by successive bisec-
ton. Even the sixteenth of a unit is more
commonly used in trade than the tenth. In
the stock exchange shares change in price
by eighths of a dollar, and not by tenths.
Even with our decimal system of money, We
require coins for half and quarter of n dollar
for practical use in trading Almost the en-
tire price list of our stores advances and re-
cedes by these fractions of a unit formed by
successive bisectons. The attempt by the
French to compel the use of the decimal sys-
tenn shows the difficulty of such an undertak-
ing. Popular necessities compelled the intro
duction of binal divisions. The prices of
their money and stock markets are still fire.
quently quoted in quarters and eights. The
attempt to divide time deoimally was a ell
ure. After trying to give their decimal met
rology n universal application, they have
been compelled to modify it in many of their
weights and measures. From the inherent
defects of ten scale all attempts to intro
Dice an international decimal system of
weights and measures have met with strong
opposition.-T r. BroraeH'iR Popular Sci
