half the Willamette valley, and
unsurpassed in fertility aud all natural
resource will be open to settlement.
That this rich valley will be speedily
settled and improved there eau be no
doubt. The removal of the one great
obstacle to its settlement heretofore has
now been accomplished wholly by
private enterprise, and without one
dollar expense to the general govern
ment While there is In the general
appropriation bill, as it has passed the
lower house of Congress. $1,000. 900 for
internal improvements. of which over
$lj0.000 is for the improvement of
rivers in our neighboring State of

ance pertaining to a State government.

LAST evening the members OF the
Alki Base Ball Club. including Treen.
Durham and Percival. who arrived on
the Messenger. spent an hour or so in
passing" the ball around on Occidental
square. This exercise had tendency
to awaken more lively feeling in the
minds of our citizens in regard To the
coming game, in which "our boys" will
figure so prominently. BY the time the
North Pacific arrived, the streets were
thronged with citizens and friends of
the boys, Inanifssting much interest and
anxiety as to the coming contest at
Victoria. The rifle team and ball nine
left this morning at s o'clock. taking
with them the good wishes and hopes
of success Of our entire people. Quite
number of other visitors from the
Sound accompanied them.

The democrats Of this county should be
careful ana not be deluded with the idea
that there is no need of enthusiasm or
hard work till just few days before cleo

test at this present writing to be wrought

cannot be too often or too strongly urged
upon the county and township committees
to loose no opportunity for doing the work
OF organization and local canvassing for
which they are specially appointed, and to
make themselves familiar at the earliest
possible date with the special or essential
wants Of particular localities. 1t is not
right nor safe to trust to luck; to expect
that everything is going right because
upon the surface Of affairs every thing
seems quiet and unbroken as usual.
Trust only to actual intelligence, to specific
knowledge of the condition Of affairs, to a
thorough and personal investigation, if
you would be able to Judge understand
ingly, and direct with Judgment the means
to be employed and the measures suitable
to be adopted.
1t is never too early for the committees
to know their surroundings and what work
Is necessary to be done. A good business

Of course such person as Kearney is
not quite heightened enough for this and
some other localities where the party is
supposed to be constituted in about equal
proportion of laborers aud well-to-do green
hackers. Even Pomeroy is most too rad
ical in his utterances to be acknowledged
as leader in the new departure. To be
sure both Kearney aud Pomeroy are AL
very well in their place, but then it is in
convenient for the Organ to have to de-
fend or parry assaults on their account
and it is a great deal easier to say that
such men are not representative men, and
therefore the party is not responsible for
their sentiments, and language. Yet all

FROM j. A. TYNEs. WELL KNOWN
CITIZEN OF WILSON, N, C.-My wife had
suffered for ten or twelve years with a
kind of dry letter, which kept the scalp
covered with dandruf, and caused her
hair to fall out and get very thin and
turned grey, but after using London
Hair Color Restorer," the letter was
cured and the grey hair restored to its
natural color, the hair stopped falling
out and is growing beautifully. By
telling of the effect it had on the head
of my wife have induced a number
to try it, and L want you to send me a
dozen bottles by express. l enclose
postoffice order for So to pay for it.

The action of the Tennessee republican

little straw in the political waters, but it
shows the current, even away down

The following resolution was offered in

administration OF President Hayes, as both
able and patriotic. and one that oommends
itself to all fair-minded men, without re-
gard to party.
That resolution they didn't In
dorse cordially or otherwise. Con-
sidering all that Hayes has done fol-
Tennessee, and how much he has added
to the glory Of republicanism by making
Key post master general it is something
strikingly akin to party ingratitude to &C
back on him in that manner. The ole

rha Labor Question.

The telegram furnishes brief synopsis
ftbe statement Of Prof. Sumner. Of Yale
College, before the congressional commit
tee on the labor question, but its meagre-
ness was such as to give no connected idea
of his remrrks. As anything pertaining
10 the labor question which may serve to
enlighten the people upon that subject is
specially interesting at the present time.
we give the professors statement more at
length than it appears in the dispatches.
1t is certainly very entertaining reading
after reviewing the reports Of filth and pro-
family which Kearney and his class OF
blatherskites are iDficting upon asuffering
and patient people. d
Professor Sumner directed attention to
the fact that within the last few years the
means of transportation and communica-
ton became greater, and by these means
overproduction was the consequence, and
had made revolution over the whole
world. He said that when the Suez Canal
was first opened, goods came much quicker
and caused glut in the English market
new goods accommodating on each of the
old-but this glut had now been overcome.
Within the last quarter of a century there
had been q great improvement in machin-
cry of all kinds, and taking the accumulat-
ed effect of these machines, they must &C
cumulate their effects and produce tenn
porary set back. There was another fac
tor in causing this depression in labor cir
cles. This effect would reach everybody,
for the effect that machinery would have
would be to cheaper luxuries. and bring
down things to the poor classes which g
century ago they never though of. Ma,
chinery had been great good TO masses
though in cases Of individuals and GLASSES
| it had worked them evil. If the United
States had had freq tariff in 1872, the
country might have been able to compete
with England when the coal and irOI
trade was being carried on to grea
extent. The laborer in the United States
at the present time, is not having as gooC
time or as good subsistence as the labor
err in England. In this country there wer,
twelve people to the mile. and in Belgium
there were AGO persons to the mile, ant
| concluded on next page.)

Our exchanges indicate that the politi-
cal contest has already opened lively in
Ohio, Indiana, and Missouri. The State
Committee of the Democratic party in
Illinois had a meeting a short time since
and proclaimed their intention of inaugur-
ating measures TO make things lively in
this state. If such be their determination
they cannot begin the good work any to
soon. No still hunt operations will be
Of any service while the opposition are
making the woods vocal with an especial
outpouring of partizan chin music.
