this new system CAUSES the accuninla-

York Of from 500 to 900 letters per

which, seven years ago, bIr. Albro i.
Parsons, resident cf Nashville, Tenn,
wrote to Miss Jnlia Mays, Of London,
England, which, from marks ON the en-

tie 9th Of last month il was found very

The Nashville postmaster, ascertaining
that Mr. Parsons was living in Denver,
sent tho letter to him. lie therefore
got his original manuscript seven years
after lac wrote it, and when Miss Mays,
the lady for whom the letter was in

The mystery is how the letter got back
to this country, not being marked un-

the street letter box at Louisville.

ONLY FAIR AND JsisT.

Tom. B. Merry, of The Dalles IN
land Empire, is "after 'em in the
right style. Hear him:
The Publishers Convention held at
the Union County Fair agreed to pub
Iish the names Of all advertisers who
ran away without paying their bills,
also the amount they owe; they like
wise agreed to shut off all wi were in
arrears over ono year for subscription,
and to publish their names as soon as
thirty days had elapsed from and after
their discontinuance. This is correct
and proper, and although we were not
a member Of that convention, we pro-
pose to adopt their rules and live up to
them. In another part Of this paper
we give the "blach list" of their adver-
tisers, together with the amounts they
owe. TIL IS has become an absolute ne
cessity, especially in Oregon, where
men who would never think of jump
ing board bill will walk away from
bill with the utmost noncha-
lence. No one thinks of condemning
them, but the poor printer who is made
to suffer from their dishonesty is put
down as one "who will never pay no.
body" We are glad to see such steps
taken by our brethren to the East of
us, and hope they viii live up to the
rules they have laid down for the gov
ernment of one and all in this business
1t will do power of good hereafter.

IA the atmosphere Of the United
States is getting to be rather unhealthy
for Greenbackers, it might be we'll for
them to emigrate to the Argentine Re
public, where they would find their fa-
vorite system of finance carried out to
perfection and producing its legitimate
results. Prof Walter Barrows, son of
Rev. DR. William Barows, is on visit
to that country, aud an account Of his
visit, given by the Reading Journal,
contains the following paragraphs:
The Argentine Republic must be
a paradise for Greenbackers, for Mr..
Barrows was paying at the hotel a
thousand dollars IL month for board-in
paper money. That would be dollar
a day here, where paper money is so
sighted and held back II man there
were able-bodied and had large valise
he might start of on a trip with money
enough to last week, if too much Of il
were not fractional currency. The cur
rency is gold and paper, no silver
though the Government is called the
Argentine. e., Silver Republic.
What prosperous times it would be,
and how business would "start up" If
a laborer here could get $40 day, and
pay $50 OF it for days board, and the
rest, $l5, as fare into Boston and back.
Rag money enough to suit some in
would do that thing.

ecmber, and my report cannot be made
public till that time, | have thought il
hes. TO say for the information Of the
society and the general public that the
receipts Of the fair Of 1879 cover all
amounts for premiums. expenses Of fair,
interest Of mortgage debt Of one year,
aud all Improvements FOR the year. The
floating debt OF $4,000 having been
paid from the receipts Of the fair, rem
deted il impossible to meet the pre-
miums of 1879 without securing an-
other loan. This could as easily have
been obtained as last year, but very
many holders If warrants and the
warmest friends Of the society thought
It best to adopt the course pursued.
The society, IN permanent improve
ments and financial outlook, was never
in az good condition As to-day, and if
fortune will give it half chance it
will finally triumph over NIL its reverses
and misfortunes

The Democrats of Oregon should
prepare for the cam ,.aign OF 1880. 1t
Is only a few brief months until we
shall have a lively political fight on our
hands. In June next there will be the
election of Supreme and Circuit Judges,
District Attorneys, members Of the
Legislature and county ofiicers, aud in
the following November is the Presi-
Dental and Congressional election. All
Of these occurrences call for action on
the part Of our party. Do not forget
t'lat the Republicans will be wide
awake on these matters. Even now
they are "laying their pipes" for the
conflict, and are stationing their piekets
In the different counties. In Linn we
have heard of their tricks and maneu-
vArs, and we doubt not that they have
been equally alert in other counties.
They will organize and arrange for the
conflict, and our party should not be
behind them in the matter The vari-
Gus county committees should proceed
with the work of organization, and the
State Committee should resort to early
and prompt action. Oregon is politi-
caIly Democrats, when full vote is
cast, and by effective organization we
can secure that vote, but not otherwise.
