THE NAT1nN,s BIRTHDAY.

Tomorrow will be the one hundred
and third anniversary Of the nations
birth. 1t is with pride that every citi-
zen can look back over its progress, and
with hope can endeavor to fathom the
future. We are a prosperous, peaceful
people. We have passed through civil
strife and sectional difficulties. We are
united again under a common govern
ment. Though the cause that came
near disrupting the Union is not dead,
yet the people will carefully watch the
tendency of the times, and strive 10 har-
monize antagonistic elements.
The year past has witnessed revival
Of trade and manufacturing interests
throughout the country. The prospects
for bountiful yield Of cereals are good.
Our wars are confined to a few squab-
bles with Indians. The only fearful ca
lamity has been the yellow fever
scourge. No conflagrations have blotted
out fair cities. The prospect is eneour-
aging, Notwithstanding the revolution
ary legislation attempted by Congress,
and tomorrow the citizens may air
their patriotism and bombast in spread
eagle orations.
Another year has been added to the
record of a government that, while
claiming to be "of and by the people"
and declaring as its cardinal principle
that taxation without representation
is tyranny" holds half its members in
subsection, and filches from them pro-
portionate part of the revenues for it;

without yielding justice to women, yer
the cycle has marked several advances

The Workingmen Of California have
gotten their candidates in fix. They
are so thoroughly bent on reform that
they lose sight of everything else. They
pledged their candidates to a reduction
in salaries Of forty per cent in case they
were elected, the difference to be re-
turned to the treasury. It now puzzles
them to find that the election of the can
didates would be illegal and void, the
pledge being regarded, in the eyes Of
law, as a oribe. Consideration has been
given the matter by the San Francisco
County Convention, but they are as
much in need Of light as when thew
were first informed Of the fact by one Of
their candidates, who evidently wants
all the salary he can get, and refused to
take the pledge

A PITY THAT He WILL ESCAPE.

The rufiian Turk, who, after maltreat-
ing his wife so that she could not live
with him, advertised her as having left
his "bed and board without just cause
or provocation," is again prominently
brought into notice by his brutality.
He got into a fight on last Sunday
afternoon at his sailor boarding-house
with his steward, James McFadden,
and, after knocking him down, kicked
and stamped his PROSTATE body, mu-
tilating him in a most horrible manner.
AS usual, the miserable coward attacked
a little man, AIeFadden being light and
sickly, while his bestial employer is
robust and healthy. The injured vic
tim is under the care Of surgeons, while
his assailant is out under $500 bonds.
The Oregonian, speaking Of the wife
owner, says:
An account OF the outrages and crimes COM
mitted by this man, Turk, during the few years
that he has annoyed the peace OF Portland,
would MI volumes, and the expense which he
has caused the city and county reaches thou
sands OF dollars. He usually attacks small or
weak men, thus with cowardly prudence
avoiding the physical punishment which he
richly deserves, and, when In the courts 70
answer for his misdeeds, brings in as witnesses
a lot Of fellows as unscrupulous and even less
responsible than himself, who readily testify
at his dictation. All lovers OF order, all honest
men who have any knowledge Of this man
and Of his character and career, will earnestly
hope that the officers OF the law will be able 10
mete out TO him the severe justice which he
deserves.
With equal propriety the journal
quoted might have made a portion Of
the remarks applicable to all the wife
beaters that have been noticed ia its
columns. Whenever you see the sigma
ture of a man to a notice advertising
/ his wife, mark him as a coward and a
brute. He can be nothing else, or he
would not wish any woman to associate
with him, let alone reside as his wife,
while his presence is distasteful to her.
Such men as Turk, not having any ol
the attributes Of gentlemen, cannot
understand that their wives live lives
as unhappy as the lowest Of prostitutes
Brutes that they ere, they cannot COM
prehend that wifehood with beasts Is
almost uncomfortable. Even should theil
wives become as dissolute and worth.
less as themselves, they would fail tC
understand the desire most people
would experience to leave the object ol
shame; they would give their Other
selves a sound drubbing and insist upon
a continuance in the bonds.
In the instance above noticed, it is tC
be regretted that the injuries were not
inflicted with a dangerous weapon in
stead of heels. In that case the cit
izens of Portland might hope to have
the form Of the wife-owner aud despe.
rado shut from their gaze by the walls oi
the Penitentiary. As il Is, he will prob
ably be set free, after having paid q
nominal fine, to disturb the peace of the
community and maltreat all the WON
en- and weak men he can catch.

Capt. Beardslee, Of the war-sloop
jamestown, has been fully Investigating
affairs in Alaska, aud In a report to
Washington fully confirms the state
ment Of the citizens Of the threatened
danger, and urges the necessity Of a
man-of- war being keptin Alaskan waters
for protection. In the face Of his report,
plenty Of Eastern journals will be found
that will declare there is no cause for
alarm in Alaska, and that the presence
of a war vessel is desired for the busi-
ness the officers and crew will make for
the residents Of the costly island. Were
there any truth in such assertions, it
would not matter much, for some Of our
rotten gunboats might as well go to
pieces In Alaskan waters as in Eastern
navy yards.

TitlM

In these days and times a man
who is not blessed with title is look
cd upon with pity by his more fortu-
nate fellows. 1t is matter Of minor
consequence what the title is. The
country magistrate gIories in his title,
and in many cases is inflated 10 great
er extent than the Senator or Con-
gresham is by his. There is ter
rible thirst for titles of office, but n
may be that the emOlunents OF the
respective offices also are induce
meats. But there are some kinds Of
titles and the greatest mania is for
these-that offer nothing except the
'honah." Indeed there are so many
of these gentlemen Of distinction that
it is impossible to approach a small
group of men that does not contain
one or more Colonies or Captains.
1t matters not whether the title was
won upon the bloody field of battle,
as the gallan, hero charged over the
dead bodies of his companions up TO
the cannons mouth; whether as drill
master OF company Of imaginary
soldiers, or college cadets who never
smelt burnt powder in their lives; or
whether it was obtained as head man
of a base ball nine, the "captain" is
all the same and sticks to him through
life. The most popular title now
adays is that of Colonel. We cast no
reflections on the genuine colonies
who earned their titles with sword
in hand, but there are so many bogus
colonies that it is impossible 10 dis
tinguish them. These titled frauds
should be exposed. We knew Il man
who was called "Mujor" for a nick
name and in time became SO much ell
dearcd TO the title that lie even signed
it with his name. Another title much
abused is that of Professor" Let
some fellow teach three months dis
trict school, dancing school, play
few tunes on a fiddle, start magic
lantern show, or learn how TO train
horse, or write legible hand, and
with brazen faced audacity and pre-
sumptious egotism he introduces him
self as "Prof." Away with such tom
foolery. "Mister" is good enough
title for men who have never earned
a better. Let no man be dubbed with
title unless lie has commission or
a diploma to show that he is not
hdmbugging the people.
