AMIcABLY ADJUsTRD.-We are informed
that the German colony at Aurora has at
last made an alnicabie adjustment of their
business affairs. It viii be remembered
that all the property owned and occupied
by this colony was the common property of
the colony, though much of it had been ac-
quired by the industry of private individ-
uals, and on last Monday the necessary
papers were executed giving to each individ-
ual the property he or she had acquired by
their own efforts. This disposes of about
all the common property except the mills
and portion of the lands, which will be
sold at public auction next Tuesday.

A CASE OF SUN sTRoKE.-Oreaonians are
SO accustomed to mild and humid airs that
if perckance the mercury revels for a day
or two among the eighties, or by extraordi-
nary exertions on the part of old Sol touches
the nineties, people puf anil exelaim at the
heat as though it was particularly fierce
and well nigh intolerab.e. beyond these
EXPLANATIONS, however, there are seldom
any serious results from heat in Oregon.
Therefore, the announcement of case of
sunstroke in a harvest field in Washington
county last week, is received with astonish-
ment and incredulity. The Hlllsboro Inde-
pendent is, however, authority for the state
ment, saying: VIM. Smith, son of L. Smith,
of Forest Grove, was sunstruck last Thurs
day afternoon, while in the harvest field.
DR.. Bowlby attended on him, and by faith
full attention succeeded in bringing him out
all right. This is the first case we know of
in Washington county.

MEN VINO DoN'r ADVERTISE. There is a
class of business men, most truly says the
Union Sentinel, that are not worthy of pub
lie favor, and this class of men is the class
who are strangers to the use of printers
ink. A class so stingy and close that an or
dinary branch of business will naturally
dry mp and blow away in their charge,
while if controlled by a wide-awake and
farseeing man, man with an eye to the
prosperity of his town, as WE'LL as DISPOSE
tion to help himself. would draw friends
and customers, would show up as an acqui-
sition to our town, from business stand
point as well as a social co-mingler in the
public spirit of prosperity. Some of these
qualifications are points very essential to
business men, and no town on the green
foot stool we tread has ever been known to
prosper where the business was represented
and monopolized by the class of leeches or
blood suckers we have described. When
ever and wherever curse of this character
is known to exist, it is nothing more or less
than the-duty of the public press to make
known the wants of community and en-
deavor to have them supplied by class of
public benefactors. This we shall endeavor
to do in connection with our own town, at
an early period of our city's history.

There appear to be some doubts e

There appear to be some doubts ex
pressed by leading Republicans as to the
reelection of Conkling and Plat. The
latter is the most unfortunate, as in case
he retires to private life he will become a
second Hayes-a youth to fortune and to
fame unknown. Conkhng has national
reputation, and, no matter whether in pri-
vate or public life, his utterances and
statements will attract general attention.
In case Conkling is not returned by the
New York legislature he viii organize a
little Grant party in the Empire state, and
will make political affairs very lively and
interesting. e
Plat will favar him, as well as others in
New York, and the contest between the
stalwarts and the .'half Breeds as the adj
ministration Republicans are called, will
be a sight such as win make John Kelly
weep from envy.

The Des Moines State Journal in com
menting upon the Hennipin canal projec
says:
St Louis may selflshly oppose the Hen
nepin Canal. Chicago may as selfishly
oppose the improvement of the Mississippi
and Missouri Rivers. but the people of Iowa
should encourage all such improvements
We need the Waterways; we need the rail
roads also There should be no opposition
from this State to competing lines of trans
portation. If the Wabash roads and barge
lines could have their own way without
competition or restriction, freight would 60
up as high as our railroads when the
granger law was repealed.
This highly sensible editorial is true and
to the point, and because this city and
others in the immediate vicinity, favor the
construction of the Hennapin Canal They
should not be accused of any hostility to
the railroads, without the latter the steam
boats would have the same monopoly which
they exercised to the early settlement Of
this country. 1t is natural for the section
TO advocate the construction of the canal
for by that means there will be more com
petition and freight rates will be equalized.
Rock Island to-day owes much of her prom
inence as a shipping point to her railroad
facilities, and it is to increase her facilities
that her citizens are so deeply interested in
the coming Hennepin Canal Convention.

| At the city council meeting last evening
called, as it was understood, for the pun
pose of separating the Office of poor-mas
ter from that of supervisor the poor mas
| ter subject was not even mentioned.
The meeting was quite lively, notwith
standing the fact that very little was &C
complished
An effort was made by Mr.. Henry to pa.
three papers, including THE ARGUS, on.
hundred dollars year for publishing thu
council proceedings.
The Republicans in that body felt tina
naming three and excluding the Union wa:
an unjust discrimination, and they
sought to place that paper on the list.
The four paper business failed, as Tho
three proposition also deserves to fail
The Mayor has intimated that he vii
veto the scheme if three papers are includ
ed, on the ground of economy. The Alder
made against them for the people will sus-
tain the Mayor in his effort to curtail ex-
penses in the printing business. There are
some members of the Council who think
weekly paper should be paid for publish
ing the proceedings, but fortunately they
are few. These few would vote away the
public money and the city would receive
no benefit. Yet these few are in favor of
economy.
The Council will probably take some
action in relation to the printing, at their
meeting Friday night.

The Inter Ocean publishes what purports
honesty under Democratic and Republican
administrations. For an affair of this
kind it is quite unique. 1t is as follows
"Under the administration of Gen. Jack
son, who is now taken as the model by the
Democracy, the aggregate of collections
and disbursements were, $500, 081 TAT AS.
Under Gen. Grant owing to the immense
expenditures TO suppress Democratic re
bellion, they reached the enormous sum OF
$9,174, 500, Gre n. Under Jackson the
aggregate losses to the government. were
S3,T61, 111.S7, or $7.52 for every $1,000.
Under Grant the losses Were 81, $40, 1872 ~,
or "a cents for every 81 900.
Just think, it was during the 1atters add
ministration that the whiskey rings flour
ished and the star-route steals were in full
blast, and yet only three million dollars
were lost.
Perhaps the Inter Ocean man forgot to
include these Republican rascalities, as if
such had been counted in. he would still
be adding up the loss to the government.
1t might be well to state that Jackson
came to the white house poor man and
after he left it, he went to Europe with the
intention of buying three or four countries
with his ill-gotten gains?
Grant on the contrary came TO that office
a rich man, he paid all the government
Indebtedness from his own private purse,
and left it a poor but respected man.
Grant would have nothing to do with cor
rupt men; he would not take a gift and
did not endorse Dorsey for saving Indiana.
But then Jackson did not want third
term, while Grant is still anxious for that
honor.
The Inter Ocean should revise that table
and bring it down to the star-route period,
when perhaps different showing even by
a Republican paper, will be made.

The st. Louis Republican shows up the
evils of protective tariff as follows:
'Those estimable patriots, the home
manufacturers in the eastern states seem
to be in a chronic ferment. There is no
end to their grievances. Their hardships
are uncomfortable One of their inalienable
and most valuable rights-that of having
other people taxed for their special behoof
has become impaired, and they are
making piteous appeals for relief To-day
it is one class of protected manufacturers
to morrow it is another The cotton-tie
makers of Ohio and Pennsylvania began
the clamor; then followed the New Eng
land stocking makers; and now we have
the tank iron manufacturers at it. We do
no know exactly what their especial griev-
ance is, but 1t is to be presumed that the
tariff does not afford them as much pro
lection as they want, and they desire the
secretary of the treasury to stretch the du-
ty for their benefits
The resumption of specie payment and
the reduction in prices of nearly all kinds
of manufactured goods have had an eff
feet which the protected interests did not
foresee-that of diminishing the ad valor-
EN- duties. Many fabrics are worth now
only half the price they commanded dur
ing and just after the war, and so per
cent duty on them is correspondingly re-
duced, the law still remaining unchanged.

Who cares for Riddleberger now? Or
Gorham? Or that political Savior of
Indiana the great the only Dorsey? A
short time ago they were great and good
men, but now no Republican is poor
enough to do them damage.
Riddleberger was to save Virginia while
Dorsey actually snatched Indiana from the
Democratic grasp. For this they were
glorifed and honored.
No one asked where Dorsey got his
money with which to coIonize voters and
ship them into Indiana. He had it and
that was enough. He succeeded, and
Indiana was saved.
Subsequently Dorsey wanted his reward.
He had secured ali the honor that he want
ed. He no longer desired offices and
places of trust. He wanted money, and
for that purpose sought star routes.
His greed turned to his obstruction. He
was dishonored by being found out.
If there is one thing the Republican
party can not stand it is to honor man
that has been stealing from the country
which that party saved? This is especial
ly true when any public disclosure follows
such little irregularities. AS long as his
crimes are not generally known andhe pays
his assessment to the Republican party his
transgressions are overlooked. but when
the public become aware of such acts, the
Republicans pretend to be very much
shocked. German and Riddleberger were
to be officers of the senate, but now the
Republicans have lost their ascendency,
and these poor men have to go it alone
