Let Us Have a Change. /.


The Oregonian of the 9th says:
"The fourth of July committee
have appropriated $4,000 for fire.
works and 5000 for advertising.
This seems to be a very needless
waste of money for advertising.
1t is not unlike the case IN which
the man was sent ont with $40 to
buy a lunch for a fishing party.
Returning with SO 80 worth of
whisky and 30 cents worth Of
crackers, he was asked with sur
prise and Indignation by one of
the party, what he had wasted so
much money on crackers for. The
committee would do well TO re-
call that $500. 1t would pay for
another dozen sky rockets" Per
haps the members Of that commit
tee sprang from a race not yet
altogether extinct, who think that
the press belongs to the people
whether the people are patrons OF
the press or not. A class that
cherish the antiquated notion that
printers and editors live upon air,
and feast only upon gazing at the
painting of a magnolia ham, or a
sheet decoration of canned straw

thousand dollars for fire works and

This is not q Puff.

The Editor Of THE Historian
acknowledges a compliment from
Leinenweber & Co. in the shape of
a pair of superb home manufac-
tured boots. We have never had
occasion but once, that we recol-
lect Of, to regret a word uttered in
behalf of home manufactured
goods; and whatever We NAV have
said in the past concerning Lem
enweber & Co.'S enterprise, we feel
certain we can honestly reassert-
even at the risk of another DOoting
like this. But all attempts at Joking
laid aside, the candid fact stares US
i'm the face that the merchant or
dealer who would not stand by a
factory such as Leincnweber x
Co.'S does not deserve the patron
age of the people. Leinenweber
had a pull up hill for years-we
recollect when his leather was
scoffed at by some who were then
leading dealers in leather, simply
and for no other cause but that II
was made IN Astoria. He kept
straight along upwards. and &C.
casionally Il good streak would
come to assist him and his associ-
ates, when finally they reached the
top; and TODAY, from the proudest
eminence that can be gained in i
business point, they can take q
birds eye view of all our broad
domain, from Astoria to Alaska
from the Pacific to the Atlantic,
and see the orders coming in from
all sides for their leather. and fol
their boots and shoes. This is M
idle puff, because we have been
presented with pair of boots il
friendship-and that man who can
not discriminate between the price
of pair of boots and am article il

experiences Of personal pluck anC
honest dealing, speaks of the nat
ural result Of sustaining home en-
terprises; had better turn his attem
ton to a class Of literature bette
suited to his tastes-thc Police Ga
zette would suit him. 1t Is one o
the proudest recollections in tn
life of TIE AsToRIAN, that W
have jumped into the mud at time
to give a lift on the hind wheel O
our local and domestic car of pro
eress; and none whom we hay,
thus aided are more deserving thai

BErHEL,-A day or two before the attempted
assassination OF President Garfield the officials of
the Central Vermont railroad announced that
James A. Garfield, the teacher president of the
United States, would positively be at St. Albans at
the great American Institute and address an open
air meeting in the park July Sth. James in the
fourth chapter rebukes those who say they shall
do this or do that He says ye ought to say IL the
Lord will, we shall lie and do thus and so. The
president instead OF being In St. Adams was in his
SICK room while millions of anxious hearts all
over the world were waiting In breathless silence
to know that his life would be spared even to his
family and the nation. The Fourth passed off
without any noise or excitement, indeed II seemed
more like day Of mourning than like day Of
rejoicing In the evening there was a very fine
display OF fireworks and large number of people
were out to see 1t, but there WAS no cheering. Mr.
William Billings Son have run u daily stage
from Woodstock TO Bethel for more than thirty
years, and we think they never have missed a
mail during the whole time. Always accomodat
ing and gentlemanly In their demeanor, they have
won the confidence and respect Of the entire COM
munity. The mail Is carried by another marty

noon, call At Wilson's and get good dinner and
see your friends, for they all stop there, and at

in regard to improvements, especially in grass by
mulching, top-dressng and draining By these
means his farm has been much improved in
few years and is now one Of the best In Washing

PEACHAM.-The Fourth was celebrated by a
sociable and picnic party at the hall, in honor of
the celebrated New York journalist, Oliver John
son and wife. Miss Lou T.. Harvey, hay
ing finished her school at Cabot, has returned
home. L. II. McLachlin and fellow student
at Dartmouth College, just for the novelty Of the
thing, walked all the way from Hanover to this
place going up over the mountains, and down
through the ravines. They were on the way
seven days and averaged twenty-five miles
day. They report the tramp as very pleasant
though tiresome one. Surprising the president
to be dead, the churches were both draped in
black last week Sunday as tribute OF respect,
and the flag was hoisted with a Grape border, but
we were most happily disappointed the next day,
and may we still continue to be-. A surgical
operation was performed on Clark Northrops
little boy, by cutting into the wndppe for the
purpose of removing an obstruction that had
made 1t very difficult for the little fellow to
breathe. Nothing was found except mass
OF matter, which being removed made it less
difficult to breathe. A glass tube was inserted
in the ncision, and at last accounts the child was
alive. He has been great sufferer since last
May when it was thought that he had swallowed
some popcorn and that it had gone to the lungs.
