Is done for the cause of humanity and good order. Speech making, singing and grove meetings are not enough to save men and keep them saved. Work of this kind is good and commenda- ble in itself and serves to engender spirit for the prosecution of the work, but there must be something more. The spirit of en-. thusiasm inspired by such means, must be kept in motion, and work must be the re- suit. This work must be individual and personal to be effective, and it must be con- tiruous and uninterrupted to. be lasting, spAsmodic, galvanic workings in any move ment, produce only transitory effect, and the reaction weakens and retards.
 From the interest manifested in the To- cal county fairs and agricultural exhibits this fall. it IS evident that the farmers do not experience the severest of the hard times and general commercial depression. The yield in everything this year is good, and we hear but few complaints against bad weather, severe storms or heavy drought. The farmer feels every change in the commercial world, as his products are always staple and worth their money. When, then, he brings the work of his hands, and the produce of his fields into view for competition with others, or for sample of what is, and what can be done. EooIo sad hat h<n.

THE PRESIDENTIAL swINDLE.

In its peculiar way the Chicago Times
discusses what it considers the peculiar
phases of this subject:
A Washington telegram predicts that
the secrets of the Louisiana returning
board conspiracy will all be brought out
before the winter closes, "and the history
of the entire presidential swindle will be
revealed" A good deal of the history
of the presidential swindle has been re
vealed already. That part of it which
consisted in throwing overheard all the
party leaders at Cincinnati who had
shown any considerable capacity for po-
litical leadership and, taking up an un-
known man who had never shown any
capacity for leadership-that is, had
never shown any fitness for the office
of the executive-needs no further reve-
lation. No part of the entire presiden-
tial swindle was greater swindle than
that. That part which consisted in
putting forward Sam Tilden as "re-
form" candidate of peculiar fitness for
an emergency, and that part which ex
hibited his peculiar unftness to grapple
with the emergency that came, need no
further revelation. But no part of the
presidential swindle was greater swim
die than those parts. BY all means
let the whole presidential swindle be
revealed. But let us not overlook the
already revealed parts of that gigantic
swindle in our curiosity to know what
the unrevealed parts are like.

Mr.. P. Schulze, the land agent of the
O.& G. r. r., in giving some recent
statistics concerning immigration by
ocean steamers, says:
Statistics show that the largest i'm
migration has come to Oregon always
during the months of March, April,
May and June, and August, September,
October and November. During the
months of March, April, May and June,
1876, there arrived at Portland on the
steamers of the o. S. S. Co. 4,l54 per-
sons, and departed l,775, showing a
gain of 1915 during the said months.
During the months of August, Septem-
Der, October and November of the same
year, there arrived 1887 persons and
departed 2,444, showing gain of S03
During the months of March, April,
May and June, 1877, when the o. s.
S. Co. had exclusive control of carrying
trade between San Francisco and Port
land, and rates of full fare were the
same as now, the arrivals were $780,
and the departures l,545, showing an
increase of population of 5,3S5, and
during the months of August, Septem-
Der, October and November, when the
steamers of the o. S. S. Co. and p. c.
S. S. Co. were running opposition and
cut-throat rates ruled, the arrivals on
the steamers of both lines were 1920.
and the departures 1889, leaving an
increase of only 1881. The low rates
of fare had stimulated travel greatly;
but the actual immigration was proper
tionally not greater than in the same
months of the preceding year, and much
lower than in the spring months of last
year, when there was no opposition and
the rates of fare high.

Hints to Settlers.

The three elements essential to
success in agricultural industry are:
First, good soil; second, abundance
of water: third, timber. Incidental
to these are a salubrious climate and
good facilities for marketing surplus
produce. With a superior climate,
abundance of water and timber, and
ready access to market, an Indifferent
or only tolerable soil offers greater
inducements to settlement than the
very best soil wanting in these aux
iliaries to successful development.
Those who have carefully studied the
history and progress Of settlement in
the Western States will bear testi-
mony in support of this assertion.
The well-timbered and we'll watered
uplands and rolling lands of Ohio,
Kentucky, Missouri and Iowa, were
permanently settled before the richer
bottoms along the rivers, and have
accumulated more wealth in the course
of forty years. In Washington Ter
ritory, and in Clarke county especially,
we have all these requisites-good
soil, plenty of timber, plenty of wa
ter, and the best market on the coast
within easy reach. Improved farms
can be bought at reasonable prices,
or Government land can be taken up.
We have room for several thousand
new families, who can find here as
good chance to make a paying
farm as there is on the Columbia river
anywhere.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1878-03-07

From Washington again come ru-
mors that there is secret movement
on foot to contest Hayes title by writ
of custer. Influential parties in Wash
ington and New York are encouraging
the proceedings. Tilden is supposed
to be too ill to profit by the movement,
and Hendricks is more likely to obtain
the prize. Hendricks and other prom.
inent Democrats, however, deny all
knowledge of the matter.
The Vancouver independent. (Vancouver, W.T. [Wash.]) 1875-1910, 1878-03-07

The Baker county Democrat is in
formed by persons who are acquainted
with the depth of the snow in the
mountains, that there is more snow
there now than there has been for
several years. While it has been
raining in the valley, heavy and wet
snow has fallen in the mountains. If
this great snow fall is general over
the western slope ofthe Rocky noun
tains about the headquarters of the
Columbia, we may look for high wa
ter in that river during June next.
1t will be we'll for the citizens liv-
ing on the Columbia bottom to pre-
pare for high water.
