TIE MISSISSIPPI PLAN.

If there were now pending an election for
President our Democratic friends, says the
New York Times would insist that the
story of the late outrage in Mississippi, near
Meridian, was an invention, and highly
sarcastic illusions to the ''bloody- shirt
business would be in order. But the Times
has printed full details of the affair, from
the pen of an eyewitness, and who has no
other motive than the telling of the whole
truth. On election day riot was precip-
itated at the polls, white Democrats being
the aggressors. The Republicans, aim )st
all of whom were colored men, fled and
were fired upon. They halted and returned
the fire, and two white men were killed.
A general hunt for Objectionable Republi-
cans then began, and mob besieged the
residence of family of whites, Vance by
name, the members of which were guilty of
being Republicans. One of the Vances
was killed, one arrested and thrown into
Jail, and another of the family fled. 1t is
not pretended that the Vances killed either
of the men who were shot in the first out
break, and the murder of one of the family
might bo taken as a sacrifice to- justice,
if nothing less than this would do. Mean
time, the arrested man has been in jail
nearly one month without any charge what
ever being preferred against him, while his
father is being chased through the country
by bloodthirsty pursuers 1t is evident
That IL is still thOnubf that sstha
Mississippi plan" shall remain in operation
in the State for which 1t was originally in
vented.

Large Fire i'm New York.

New York, Dec. 25.-The bonded ware.
house of Cover, Acker & Co., II and IA
South street, stored with silks, tobacco and
spirits, burned this evening. Loss will
probably be in the neighborhoed of $780,
GOO, though by some parties it is estimated
still higher. Several explosions occurred in
the building caused by ignition of spirits.
Three fremen were injured. Geo. 7. Pat
terson, secretary of Clinton Fire Insurance
Company, said about o'clock this morn
ing he estimated the loss at fully s., ,OOO,-
600, on account of extraordinary valuable
articles stored in the buildfng,-such as India
shawls, raw silk and wines.
IA. M.-The loss by the fire ON South
street is now estimated at two millions. 1t
is stin burning.
ANOTHER FiRE.-Burned the building,

AN EASY WAYT0 SCATTER SMALLPOX


An exchange of recent date says:
''rhe citizens of Weston have subscribed
ST. ,0G0 with which to bald new house
and furnish bedding, clothing and furniture
for the King family who have been suffer-
ing with smallpox. The family are all con-
salescing, and need no futher medical at
tendance 1t is the intention of the citizens
to burn Kings house with its contents as
soon as the family are recovered"
Burning a house and contents infected
with smallpox would seem to us the easiest
and most practical manner in which to scat
ter this dreadful disease far aud near The
smoke e-and heated air will be carried by the
Breeze for long distance, and if we are
mot mistaken will not loose any of the
qualities necessary to communicate the dis
ease. We remember of having heard of an
instance of this kind happening many years
ago which resulted as above stated. The
people of Weston should beware of what
they do in this matter. The safest thing to
10 is no doubt to disinfect the building and
all the contents in and about it with the
proper chemicals.

the CRIME OF P0IYGAMY BEING TRIED
In CONGRESS.

Delegate Cannon from Utah who is an
avowe Mormon and who is now contesting
with Mr.. Campbell before Congress for a
seat in t. at lody recently said in answer to
a reporter 'st,lat IL law more rigid should
be enacted, abolishing Mormonism our
people will try t. maintain the church and
the theory of taking more than ono, wife.
The religion can not be done away with. y
Such is the attitude of this man towards the
government that if laws were passed pro-
hibiting polygamy he would set the law at
d lance and violate it for the sake OF en-
i .ying plurality of wifes under the cloak
of religion.
II some individual in any other commu-
nity was living with more wives than one,
he would be hunted down and punished
severely. In Utah where the same crime
is being committed by wholesale, the United
States for about quarter of century has
suffered this scandalous and barbarous
system to be perpetrated with impunlty
and have generally winked at the perpetra-
tors TINS indicating to them that the crime
eOmDllCCGl WAS Ill dCCOTtduCO WIN oiSii
system of religion. During great portion
of this time such criminals and outcasts as
Mr.. Cannon, have knocked at the doors of
Congress and in every instance they have
been admitted to seat in that body. Dur
ing a previous session of Congress a similar
contest to the present one was had to pre-
vent Mr. Cannon from getting his seat.
But Congress after trying the issue decided
that poly samy was no crime, but respect
able institution and thereupon they adj
nitted Mr.. Cannon to a seat. The present
contest may result the same way, as Mr..
Cannon feels assured that it will, because
Congress is not at all particular about
whether criminals outcasts and destroyers
of society, are seated in their body or not.
As general thing they are rather inclined to
wink at such outrages until the people rise
Indignantly and refuse to submit TO Them
any longer.
But poylgamy is founded in the Mormon
religion and we must handle it carefully be-
cause it will not do to interfere with their
religious faith. Guiteau murdered the pres
ident also while he was impressed with the
idea that it was his religious duty to do it
and yet his religious faith should be ten
derly handled.a
So it is fact that nearly all great crimes
in all ages of the world and especially those
which have generally been perpetrated
openly have been done under some form
of religious faith. Perhaps it might be well
for Congress to admit Cannon and also be
quiet on the extension of Polygamy until
it entirely CONTROLS all of our remaining
territories, for it is fast accomplishing this
end. Then the people will have to rise up
in ar Ii aal destroy it, just what Congress
should have done 20 years ago.

CHARGES FDR GETTING IN AND OUT OF
THE COLUMBIA RIVER,

In our issue of last week we published an
Astoria letter written to the Tacoma Led
ger which letter claimed to give an item
lied list of the charges incurred and paid by
Capt. Paige of the British bark Astrican
from the time he started into the mouth of
the Columbia until he was on the sea again
Among this list of chares are three items
which we do not fully understand. We
will feel very kindly towards any one: who
will inform us fully about them The
items rfered to are as follows:
Expenses of Capt. P. between As
toria and Portland s. 400 90
per cent. commission on cargo of
SouoUO. .......... 1900 OO
y per cent. disbursements, etc. =. 1000 90
Are these charges of such nature as are
chargable in all ports of the United States?
If SO they should not be included in the list
referred to. Or are they extraordinary
charges which are peculiarly occasioned on
account of the disadvantages which have
been undergoing discussion in regard to YES
sells coming to Portland and are not exacte
at other Ports? Were the expenses of S4oO
charged to Capt p. for something that
necessarily had to be paid on the vessel
occasioned by disadvantages afforded by
this port? Or was this charge for some per-
sonal expense of Capt. P. which he incurred
for individual purposes which he could have
avoided with equal propriety.
The port alluded to undoabte lily is at
tended with sufficient amount of difficult
ties peculiar to this port alone, without
having to bear the blame of unnecessary
charges of a different class.

HOLIDAY EDITIONS.

The last issue of the New Northwest
came to us greatly enlarged as holiday
edition of that publications. 1t contains
much valuabls information of local nature
regarding the history and progress of quite
number of Portlands business industries
which is suggestive to its readers of the
untiring energy and perseverance, of its
proprietors.
The Daily Standard of the Goth, also put
in an enlarged appearance holiday edi-
tion being enlarged to eight pages of usual
size besides very handsome illustrated
supplement. 1t contained pictures of num-
erous woodcuts representing many of the
elegant business houses of Portland besides
nearly if not quite all of the public build
iifgs of our wealthy and rapidly growing
metropolis. 1t also contained numerous
well written articles relating to the rise
and present condition of many of the inn
portant industries of that city. On the
whole it indicates much credit to its pro-
peietu.s.

DISAPPOINTMENTS in BUSINESS TO Be
AVOIDED.

Promptness and dispatch in all human
undertakings is one of the main elements to
success. The experienced of mankind who
understand the causes of failure and success
in the business undertakings of this lie
study this point and rely upon it more sat
isfactorlly than any thing else.
These studious observers of the natural
result of things carefully apply this never
fail rule to all alike None escape the
steady application of this test from the
beardless lad who retails peanuts upon the
street corner to those who deal in millions
upon millions. They proceed upon the
theory sat 'actorily established by long
experience that he who scrupuloasly meets
his obi cations to the exact minute of time
if adhered to through life is on a sure road
to success, while the one who fails to be
equal to the emergency at the appointed
time is ON a sure road to meet with I'M
pleasant and annoying embarrassnents and
probably an entire failure
The failures in the affairs of man can
generally be traced TO this cause. 1t Is a
common thing for them to suffer one mn
fulfilled obligation after another to accumu-
late against them until they find them
selves surrounded upon all sides by en-
barrassment until it only requires single
extra step to complete a total failure.
While the individual who successfully
avoids making engagements of any kind
unless he is morally certain that he can
discharge them at the exact time appointed
can never become involved in a line of
difficulty which is the natural outgrowth
of the other policy. If the first disappoint-
ment to our fellow man is avoided the
second one will never occur.

POIt0On Bridge.

The Northern Pacific company are pre-
pairing plans for pontoon rai'ro bridge
across the Columbia at Kalama says the
Oregonian. It will consist of three immense
barges, six hundred feet long end sixty feet
wide, so constructed that they can be
thrown out of the way, and leave the river
open except when used for the crossing of
trains. It is likely that the O. r. & N.
Co will temporarilysbridge the Willamette
in the same manner.

Railroad Land Grant.

In all the figuring about the cost of the
oregon and California Railroad, no ac-
count has ever yet been made of the value
of the public land granted by Congress.
The grant is for twelve thousand eight
hundred acres per mile Oh. road; and as
two hundred miles Of road have been con-
structed; the company has earned 2,56O,- :,
600 acres Of land, which the company has
been selling for two and half to five dollars
per acre. Making due allowance for value
of the land grant, the road has not cost the
present owners single dollar. -Ex.
