sway at times and doubtless he classed
under that anomalous category "neees-
sary evils" But tha. day is past. Ore

EDUCATION.

TITS an srEouspns Impression, perhaps
too prevalent, that the education of the
rising generation must be acquired e1-
clusively at school. Now while it may
b. trsae that it is almost essential to the
'as4uisisiunAf the rudiments or elemen-
-tary branches, that children attend CUR
common schools, yet it must not be for
goeson that there is kind Of useful edu-
cation that can not be acquired within
the narraw confines of tho school room,
or schosl room literature. 1t is found
in the current literature Of. the day and
in the books that can now be secured 30
sheapiy. The man whose education is
confined "a that obtained in schools and
colleges is apt 70 be narrow-minded and
pedantic. He is incapable OF taking
broad, liberal aud comprehensive views
Of subjects, and their name is legion,
outsiae Of purely scholastic training.
Towards the obtaining Of this desirable
kip3of sducasion, nothing so largely cor
tssAutes:Ax free access to we'll selected
3! Iihs2sy and the pure literature of the day
In this connection we cannot too much
commend the action OF ouf citizens in
keeping this important point in view in
tbs construction Of our City Hall. A good
rvon sos library is one Of its most prom
iasns features. II u to be constantly
Soppaisd with instructive books and choice
,joprHals and magazines. This is an ex-
.s*afent idea and we earnestly desire to
see is faithfully carried out. The benefits
accruing from such an institution proper
II conducted, arc incalculable. Not only
the youth just entering the arena of a
business life, or the Younger student still
struggling with the lore Of his prescribed
text books, but r,en and women Of every
age may add to their kno,edge and ex
perienee by this method of. education
II is 40 Ergumsnt against this neaus oi
acquiring knowledge that it is gained by
such ipnpereeptibls degrees that the pos.
.!sssser is scarcely conscious Of the progress
he ia making. And it has this advan
tage orer the regular routine system tina.
the ideas that are mastered are SO blend
ed with those klready possessed that the
seep 70 be the natural production of ths
students Own intelligence. Therefore
they are not 40 apt to be forgotten. The,
are indelibly engraven On memory's tab
lets. Besides, the knowledge thus &C
quired is more varied and practical. W
hope therefore that no pains or expens
will be spared to make our City Hal
library a credit to the place, for We fee
assured that it will yield rich remuner

-o>---sa saS7azssala
The Portland Orsgonian might be the
most influential journal il the state of
Oregon, and under different management
it would be entitled to that distinction.
As it Is conducted now the question Of
its superiority may well be doubted. It
At is true that ;s possesses two of the
great requisites nseessary to placing it in
that position, viz:-wealth and circuia.
ttion. But these of themselves do not
constitute great newspaper, nor yet an
influential one. In order to rank as
great journal it must be permsated with
the dignity of truth, must be above the
wilful abuse Of its power, must not stoop
to personalities nor be swayed by parti
san politics. OF late this has not been
the course of the Portland Oyegonian
It is true that ever since it fell into the
hands of Harvey Scott, that it has lost
no opportunity to proclaim that it is all
that great paper shoold be, while not
unfreguently the same issue would belle
its pretensions. That paper however is
not the creation of Harvey ,Seott's inven
tive genius, though said genius appears
in it more frequently than is necessary
for the plain statement of facts. The
Cre3osia's was quite newspaper when
Harvey Scott was digging bitches on
Grayback Bar, Idaho, an occupation,
which by the way was cleaner and more
honorable than many that he has since
been engaged in. SCOTS worst attempt
at being majestically severe is found in
the issue OF Aug 4th, in which speaking
OF the Democratic papers Of the State he
says:
"Their lack Of energy and industry,
their stupidity, their total want Of con-
ception Of the functions Of newspaper,
their meagerness, pattriness, shabby ness
and inanity, are all phenomenal"
When such journal us the Oregoaipn
prostitutes its position by such a sweep,
ing and unfounded charge as the above,
it forfeits all claim to being a great OF
even a respectable sheet. While we
may have more Republican Journals in
Oregon than Democratic ones, it is not
lrojahle that the forme. represent more
ebility or better editorials, than the latter
Even if it were so, it would indicate
very bad manners in the journal that
would eonceitcd!y arrogste' to itself al
the ability. The truth is that the Ore
go,;ian in the article referred to wal
making desperate effort to gst ever
with the Albany Democrat, that has Sc
frequently spiked Scott's heaviest piece.
with few pointed sentiments; and in
stea lIof meeting his opponent in spirito
fairness he retaliatss by making whole
sale TRADE against the Democratic press
which every intelligent man in the stat,
knows to be neither gentlemanly no
