NOTES.


AeTKs.
INTELLIGENCE is received from s. F. |
that Republican soldiers are organizing
Hancock clubs thera, and that already |
$50 names had been snbscribed. This |
is certainly an enthusiastic commenda-
tion, when men who KNOW him intimately
have such sincere confidence in him, as
to thus openly forsake their party for
personal preferences. All the leanings
sesm to be toward strong Democracy
in the Golden State. However an at
tempt is being made to disrlace the
present incumbent Kaplan, Registrar Of
s. T. aud substitute Thrap, one OF the
notorious manipulators Of Louisiana IN /
1875. No charges are preferred against
Kaplan. The Democrats are naturally
alarmed and talking pretty loud about
tho matter. Fraud in elections, whether
county, state or national, should and
must DO frowned down upon, and the
guilty exposed.

| While, it may be true that our State
is deficient in manufactures. and that
we import many articles that might be
made more cheaply at home, yet we have
reason to be proud of our home produc-
ton. At this time We will merely men,
ton the matter Of stoves. A few years
ago all our stoves were made out of the
State. Now the case is different Stoves
that are made in Oregon compare favor
ably in appearance and durability and
cheapness with any other in the market.
We should therefore encourage that
branch Of industry by purchasing those
manufactured in our own State, especial
ly as they are as good and cheaper than
the others.
i AIrALrHA grows in our yard volun
tary, luxurously and to the hight of si1
i feet, greatly to our annoyance and wher
we look at the rank fodder, We wonder
why sometimes cattle and horses are
doomed to starve to death during th.
+ winter in a country SO fertile and rich
!. To Us it looks like burning sin and
l. shame; yet some take pride in telling hov
i. many cattle they lost during the winte
r. and expect sympathy when they shoul'
J. be indicted and put in Jail for chroni
v lazibility" or cruelty to animals,-W

VI BY the Yakima Record we learn tina
d trouble is brewing in that section in COZ
l, sequence of the Indians on the reservs
e tion killing cattle The cattle are kille
TO ON the range, just enough meat taken
10 satisfy present want and the remainde
a left to rot. No less than eight or te
N have been seen in one day by men VII
to were out hunting stock. If this state ,
he affairs continue the settlers will have
IN protect themselves. They desire a mil
n tary post over there, and if things are
7e bad as they are represented to be it wi
- not be long before they will have one.
ct TuE Portland Standard is conductli
An q noble Democratic campaign. II is fai
ly and argumentatively investigate
the charges against Gen. Garfield, fcun
ns ing its accusations only On given autho
ay ~, and inviting the Oregon;on to poi
ng out any false data. But the latter evad
az the merits Of the case, and tries to dive
3D. the discussion into other channels. T.
Fas Standard should be circulated throup
re- out the State.
