THE GRAND OLD DEMoC.Ar.C PARTY.

The New York Herald Independently,
which has strong leaning toward the Re-
publican party, gives utterance to the
following:
'The democratic party represents fur
damental principles whose preservation is
essential to the perpetuity of our free in
stitutions. It comprises one half Of the
voting citizens of the United States, and
there would be reason to despair of the
Republic if so large part of our people
had lost the sense of patriotism and pub
lie virtue. We believe that the average
Democrat is as moral and well meaning
as the average Republican
A party which has so illustrious history,
a party which has so much genuine sym
pathy with the sons of toll who form the
mass of the American people, party
which, in spite of it's alterations and devi-
ations from principles, is still the main
bulwark of popular rights against usurp-
ing power, cannot be destroyed by It's own
| blunders unless it persists in them n +
Such is the ancient and time honored de-
moeratic party, party long illustrious in
the history of the country; party which
never fiinched or faltered in maintaining
the high bearing of the Nation against
jealous foreign powers; which originated
proclaimed and defended the Monroe
doctrine; which acquired every square
mile of Territory which is of any real val
ue; which brought US Louisiana and the
vast regions west Of the Mississippi
brought us Florida, brought us Texas
brought us California, and established
our title to Georgia. Leaving out Alaska
the comparatively worthless acquisition
of President Johnson, the democratic par
ty quadrupled the original area of tn,
United States between the inauguration
of Jefferson and the close of the admins
tration of Polk. A party that has thi
record must always hold an honored plac
in our history. Moreover, it was the de
nocratic party that stemmed and bea
back the tioe of rampant Know Nothing
ism and kept open the doors of the &c
public ito emigrants by insuring cqua
rights with native citizens. A part
which has such history will be foun,
to possess great tenacity of life. Wit
its rich inheritance of proud national re
collections the democratic party has irre
pressible powers of rejsvenation, and or
ly long persistence in blunders can eve
disband it."

DIVISION.

Well, it is dead-trat's all, slaughter
ed in the house Of its friends
We did oppose that measure Knox Coun-
ty) because Of it's gross unfairness and |
the greed evinced by its supporters, but
there was no opposition on The part of
citizens of Pendleton precinct to anything
like a just division of the county. If tie
'divisionists" had kept faith with the
people they might and probably would
have attained their end if they had been
honest in their promises to the people
that they were in favor of division into
three counties such bill would most
probably have been passed But as soon
as election was over designing division
lists" in the upper end of the county i'm
mediately proceeded to go back Gu all
their pledges &c.-East Oregonian
We are weary of correcting such state
Eaents as the above. 1t certainly looks
as if policy should keep the Z. o. near
the facts, even if lacking any higher
guide. However, about 1885 persons
signed the petition for Knox Co. each
one of whom may take the above to him
self. Division was slaughtered by its
enemies. When running Division tick
ct last J une, the candidates stood pledged
to line to cut off this end, and the other
line to suit the citizens interested. The
platform SO stated. That ticket was de-
feated-by what means we all know.
The E. O. said that ''the only and honest
way to divide was by petition" A petit
tion was circulsted accordingly at our
end Of the county, was signed by Eve
sixths of the voters interested, and the
T. 0. fought against It, and to-day has
the impudence to tell the 1885 that it
was an ubiquitous proposition" What
designing 'divisionists' went back or
their pledges : The truth is that the di
vision ticket being defeated, meeting
was held at Centerville to decide on &C
tion. A line was adopted there. The
Z. 0. called county meeting at Pendle
ton to decide on lines. That convention
3 adopted tie same line, and yet the z. O
fought against it And what the z, @
calls the "Weston move" was commenced
at Centerville, and matured at Pendleto,
through call of the Pendleton papers
Now we want to know what othe
pledges" there were at those meeting
''to go back on p The E.. o. need no
cunningly try to arouse jealousy between
the ends of the county. We did not an
tagonise their bill, nor they ours, 70
Knox and Coal were quite in harmony
In fact we sent large petition sustain
ing Knox and Coal. 1t is we'll enoug
known who killed Division,

A Remarkable Result.

1t makes no difference how many physl-
clans Or how much medicine you have tried,
it is now an established fact that German
Syrup is the only remedy which has given
complete satisfaction in cases of Lung Dis
eases. 1t is true that there yet thousands of
persons who are predisposcd to throat and
lung affections, consumption, hemorrhages
asthma, severe colds settled on the breast,
pneumonia, whooplng cough, etc, who have
no personal knowledge of Boschee's German
Syrup. To such we would say that $4,000
dozen were sold last year without one CON-
plant, Consumptives try just one bottle.
Regular size IS cents. Sold by all Drug
gists in America.

Gen. Arthur was dismissed from Office
by President Hayes that the Office might
be honestly and efficiently admins
tered" Of course he might change and
make an "honest and efficient" viee-pres-
ident, but we do not need to try men
whose acts are so fagarntly wrong. No
such charges against English. Ingersoll
makes brilliant argument against Eng
lish when he said, death, has never elec
ted good President in the>U inted States
yet. Death has always made frightful
mistake" How would this apply to
Arthur English's fault is that he loans
money, and secures himself when he does
it. If he boarded his money they would
call him miser if he loaned his money
withou. security they would call him an
idiot He was never expelled from Office
by his friends.

That if they want to stay and make

Hon Jno. 9. Wilson proved himself
man of honor. He simply promised to
respect petitions. Supposing that Kelley
represented the views of this end of the
county, they two and Hon. Pennington
agreed on the lines of what is known as
the "Kelley bill" But the petitions
showed him the error, and he nobly ac-
cepted his duty to his constituents and
labored for the largest petition. We are
decidedly opposed to his views of the In
sane Asylum bill, but as he openly advo-
Gated them prior to election, his course
is consistent All praise to Mr.. Wilson

Health In Summer.

The danger from sunstroke or exhaus-
tion is not very great for people in ordin-
airy health, but any physician will in
dorse the statement that too great care
cannot be exercised to ward off those
diseases which inevitably follow i'm
prudence during the heated term. Too
many people observe the same rules OF
living in the dog days that they do in
the bracing atmosphere of fall or win
ter, and, as rule, they pay dearly
Tor their imprudence. Even in the mat.
ter of clothing but little care is taken
to provide against sudden changes OF
temperature, or during periods Of in
tense heat to reduce the temperature OF
the body. Many persons also expose
themselves to the sun in the most rcck-
less manner, while Others are equally
imprudent as to the kind and quality OF
their food. The latter is a most i'm
portant consideration. The simpler
and more nourishing the food the better;
yet how few restrict themselves or show
the least discrimination in selecting the
supplies for their tables during the sum-
mer months. Frequent bathing, moder-
ate exercise, ,abstention as far as possible
from all excitement, rigid supervision
Of drainage, cleanliness not only in the
living room of the house but in the
obscure places about the premises
these are safeguards which no person,
however robust his health, can afford
to disregard. Tho list of ills that fol-
low the neglect of these ordinary pre-.
cautions is very long, and all are seri-
GUS in their effect upon the human
frame. wa

LObsters and Milk.

There is popular theory that Holsters
and milk combined are death-dealing
potion. This is partly wrong and
partly right. The fact is, the hard
meat of the lobster is the most indiges-
tible article of food that can be taken
into the human stomachs, and only the
strongest stomachs in the most health
full state can conveniently get away with
it. Where vinegar is eaten with lob
ster it helps the digestion. A second
fact is undeniable, that milk will sour
on the stomach of two persons out of
three. 1t follows then that having
eaten a hearty meal of undigestible lob
ster, if you drink large quantity of
milk, and it sours on you, the action of
the gastric juice is suspended, the lob
ster remains as so much lead in the
stomach, and hence the sickness will
frequently result fatally. But neither
the milk nor the lobster in itself is poi
sonous, nor does the combination ofthe
two, work q poison. The sickness
arises from a soured stomach and a con-
sequent suspension of the organs Of di-
gestion. Some persons with stomach
like horse, as the saying is, can eat
lobster and drink milk with impu-
nifty, but that's neither younor l." A
third fact-lobsters cooked after death
are permeated with poison, the virus
from poisonous glands permeating all
the meat in the shell. All these are
well-established scientific medical facts,
and no mere theorizing. You will do
well to consider and be governed by
them. If you've n strong healthy
stomach, perfect digestive organs, and
can drink heavy cream milk without
trouble, then you can eat healthy lob
ster seasoned with vinegar, and pour
down your throat as much milk rs you
choose, but not otherwise. Next TO
Holsters pehraps cherries are rs indiges.
tible rs anything you can take into your
stomach, and drinking OF milk aftci
eating cherries will cause sickness the
same way as after eating of Holsters,
under the conditions described and for
the same reasons. We don't charge
anything for the facts and hints herein
contained, but you might pay the doc
tors q great many dollars, and nine
chances out of ten they wouldn't give
YOU as valuable facts, nor as clearly and
concisely stated. A word to the wise is
sufficient. nt.-Meriden Recorder.

Some Of the Eenntles Of foi,salllJ.

A letter to the Salt Lake Ahti- Polyg.
amy Standard says: In SugarhOuse
Ward. two miles north of Salt Lake
City, lives q good Danish saint who, Of
course, lives his religion, drd bas sew
eral wives. it was the duty OF one OF
the plural women to work on the farm
and take care Of the cattle and the
mules. When not engaged in other
sanity Ryocatious, It wNs the husbands
custom to sit on the fence, holding n
hoTsewhip in his hand, and oversee the
woman when she was 1t labor IN the
field. Ifshe failed to perform the work
according to his ideas or instructions,
he used to lash her like refractory
horse or mulei In fact he Often whipped
her more severely than lie would his
animals, for lie held mule in far higher
estimation than lie did woman. "He
could get another wife any day, but it
cost money TO get mule" Occasion
ally, when there was not enough TO
keep her busy on the farm, he hired her
out as a house servant, and always col
lcctcd her wages himself, asking quite
high price for her services. SLe hap
pencd to be hired to a neighbor Of mine
and one day when he came for her
wages he demanded IN extra dollar n
week because he had to hire a man to
do her chores in the field. This saint
believed in polygamy, because when one
woman wore out or outlived her useful
ness as a laborer, he could easily re-
place her with fresh one.
A few miles further from the house,
on what is called Mill creek, lives an
other polygamist, whose three wives
IRE held to the strictcst account for
every pound Of butter, every chicken or
egg on the place. and woe to the adven-
turous one who dares to dispose OF
either without the consent of her lord
and master. The first wife, who is old
and crippled with rheumatism, ), once
longed for a cup of tea, luxury for
hidden the women, who are required to
keep the word of wisdom, although the
husband frequently INDUCED in that and
material comforts. She watched an op-
portunity when he was absent aid
traded a few eggs for the wherewithai
to make the GOV eted beverage, which
she enjoyed, as she thought, in secret.
The husband, however, found it out-a
man in polygamy has no lack OF tale
bearers-and he dragged the poor old
woman to the creek, plunged her under
the water and held her there until he
thought her sufficiently punished for her
sin in breaking the word Of wisdom, as
well as for meddling with his eggs, and
until she promised never TO repeat the
oGense. have suppressed the names
in both of the above cases, although
could have given them, because under
stand that it is the policy Of fthe StaHl-
ard not TO show up individuals, hut TO
expose the workings and the debasing
effects Of the system. The first incident
shows in what estimation the majority
of men hold the women, and to what
depths of degradation the system can
reduce woman NAO .,,.s. rseif to
be placed in such a position.

The Old Way and the New.

The Alps have their tunnel and MI,
Vesuvius has its railway. The touris
may now be carried comfortably to the
top of that uncertain protuberance in
stead of scrambling, sprawling and
shambling up after the old fashion. The
new railway was opened recently, and
the traveller will now be transported
from the foot of the mountain to the
top in eight minutes. All this may take
little of the romance out of the ascent,
but it will be great saving of legs and
perspiration. 1t is not stated whether
the trains can run regularly while the
mountain is in an eruptive mood; nor
exactly how near to the crater is the
terminus of the railway.

High HeeIed Boots DeleterlOuS 10 the
Eyes,

"A Boston physician" writes Pro-
fessor r. A. Proctor, "from the result
of his experience states that the use Of
high heeled boots causes injury to the
eyes-not only weakening the sight,
but producing a sensation of constant
pain. It's not altogether so surprising
as might be supposed that the eyes
should thus sympathize, as itwere, with
the feet for it is well-known to ply
sicians that the eyes suffer in n specific
manner when other raits Of the body
are affected. and there are some ale
ments, whose presence the physician
has even been able to detect in this way
when the patient himself would have
concealed thereal nature of his illness" I"
