KELLOGG IN CLoyER.-Gov.
Kellogg, of Louisiana, who for
two years was on the tender
hooks, not knowing from day to
day or hour to hour whether
the democrats would eject him
from his seat in the Senate or
not, has become once more a
pretty big man. He has be-
come chairman of the commit
tee on railroads Of the senate,
which is likely in the next two
years to be one of the most i'm
portant committees, and he is
popularity supposed to have in
his control the whole federal
patronage of the state of Louis
lana. This has its dark side,
too, for not less than two hun
dred colored gentlemen OF
Louisiana are in Washington
after places, and they stick to
Mr.. Kellogg so close that they
have made his life somewhat of
Sun.

Municipal Affairs.

The excitement of the meet.
ings of Saturday and Monday
night having measurably sub
sided, it may be well to pause
and review the situation calmly,
The meeting on Saturday night
was called in good faith, by
good citizens, for the purpose
of securing for the city a set OF
officers who would faithfully ad-
minister the law. There is in
the city party which may be
denominated as the outs; they
attended the meeting on Satur-
day night, and during Sunday
and all day Monday busted
themselves in circulating the
widest reports. The meeting
on Monday night was largely
attended by an element opposed
to the present administration
and in reality engineered by
the anti-tax league. The re-
suit has been the suspension Of
the public free schools, and
nov the very suspension OF the
schools is being used as an
electioneering dodge. The
question as now presented re-
solves itself into the simple
proposition: "Shall the intel
ligent, law-abiding and tax
paying citizens continue to
manage their municipal affairs,
or shall the city be turned over
into the hands Of the non tax
payers, who have everything
to gain and nothing to losea"
The BANNER does not propose
to advocate the claims of any
man or men for Offices in the
gift OF the people. The various
candidates are before them and
they must make their own selec-
ton; upon this selection de-
ponds the future success Of the
city and the establishment of
the free schools upon a firm
and satisfactory basis. 1t is
useless for any man or set of
men TO say that they favor the
maintenance of the schools
when they resist the payment of
the school tax on any ground
whatever. Legal bubbles and
conscientious scruples abort
paying illegally levied school
taxes will not keep up schools
or. pay teachers AS to the
bond question, the owners of
the bonds are able to and will
take care of themselves. Vo-
tiers should think carefully and
weigh every candidate, voting
only for those whom they think
will give rs an administration
that will be credit to Bren-
ham and maintain the good
name she has heretofore borne
abroad. The responsibility of
stopping the schools must rest
upon the shoulders of those
who refuse to pay the school
taxes.

The New Orleans Democrat
makes great calculations on the
grain movement down the Miss
issippi river. Water transpota-
ton is much cheaper than rail
and the assumption is that the
larger proportion of grain ex-
ported from the states, border
ing on the Mississippi river. will
find its way to the sea board by
the river route to New Orleans
and that eventually New Or
leansand not Chicago will be the
grain market. During the past
month New Orleans has re-
ceived 67I,os7 bushels of grain

The Willamette Farmer says: Du-
ring a late visit up the valley we
were much Interested in observing
the great enthusiasm felt IN the up
per counties for the improvement ot
Yaquina Bay and construction OF the
Oregon Pacific road. One grea,
reason. it seems, that there is such an
intense feeling iD this direction, is be.
cause they believe Portland to be
more the enemy than the friend OF
the producers OF the country. Pro-
dnction always views with distrust
riches that are created by it, and
while the producers OF Oregon feel
the stint of hard times and pressure
very often of debt, they see thatPort-
land grows rich all the time, by the
tribul {. .exac,ed Of them, and shows
no liberali,y Of treatment in return.
There are many things that cap
hal can safely do TO encourage pro-
ducfion, but where Portland capital
has even attempted To aid the produ-
c.r is difficult question. We sub
nit the Ease, without argument, Tor
consideration of Portland capitalists.

Does Corvallis Deserve Telegrph
Office in the Business part of Town.

The business Of Corvallis is rapid
ly growing. Her business men from
necessity much of the time have TO
avail themselves of the use or The
telegraph in doiu. business with men
at distance. This class Of business
is no doubt increasing more rapidly
than any other in Corvallis. AT the
present time the nearest telegraph
office is situated at the West Side
railroad depot, quite thrre.funrths of
a mile from the business part of town.
This state of affairs is very inconv.-
nient aud Troublesome, sometimes
causing much delay. This thrc,-
fourths of mile has to be travelled
before a message can be sent, or else
the party has to take tie risk OF for
warding the message to the depot by
means of the telephone. Ii message
should be mistaken by the telephone
company, or incorrectly repeated, the
telegraph company could not he held
responsible for such mistakes. Often
times these messages involve thou
sands OF dollars, and it does seem
that our toyn should be more con-
veniently supplied with telegraph
office.

THE PURCHASE CT ccNfEDEAIE BENDS
BY NORTHERN CAPITALISTS,

late dispatches indicate nnmistake-
ably that northern capital is being IN
vested in confederate bonds. Brokers
in New York last week telegraphed
TO Memphis bankers to send all that
could be obtained for So for each one
thousand dollars, and the First
National bank OF that place respond
ed by sending to them two hundred
and thirty thousand dollars.
This is matter about which the
American people may do well to re
feet. 1t undoubtedly is of much
importance to them. For the simple
reason that capital never seeks an
investment, without a return much IN
excess Of the orr .inal investment, is
expected. The parties who are
making these investments no donbt
expect TO reap handsome profit by
so doi"g. How do they expect To
gain this profit? Do they expect to
hold them until the political status of
,he president and both houses OF
congress suits them and then force
those bonds to be paid out of the
United States treasury? Or were
these bonds issued by the southern
confederacy and guaranteed by the
states, or some of them forming that
confederacy, in such way that they
expect to draw upon these individual
states to pay them?
1t appears very evident that it Is
calculated TO pursue one or the other
of these methods. Either one is bad
enough, and the American people
should commence in time SO as to be
able to completely destroy such all
Infamous scheme. /; may be said by
some that he southern people have
long ago abandoned the idea of hav
in4 these bonds paid. This may be.
But question never becomes 81
completely cast aside that it can not
again be revived, and when northern
capital becomes invested in these
bonds it will no longer be a southern
question, but it will then assume the
worst possible shape. for in addition
TO it's being southern question il
will bc urged on and pressed forward
by northern capitalists.

Liquid Manure.

One of the most successful garden
crs we know of, uses liquid manure
largely. He has a large tub, dis
cardcd whalc-oil cask or sugar hogs
head will do, holding several barrels,
sunk partly in the earth, near the
middle of his vegetable garden. He
has a cheap trough, made by mailing
two four-inch strips together in the
shape of V, to conduct the water
from his sink spout into the tub,
whenever it is needed. II is not far
from the well, and extra water is run
from the pump into the tub, whenever
it is needed. Into this tub all the
slops from the chambers are emptied
during the summer Another line of
cheap troughs conducts the liquid
manure To any desired part of the
garden. With long handled dipper.
he stands at the tub, and waters the
growing vegetables and fruit trees,
as their wants demand. He always
has fine fruits aid vegetables. When
house stands several feet higher
than the garden, the tub or vat for
holding the liquid manure can be
kept wholly above ground, and the
water be drawn off by plug at the
bottom of the vat. This will save
the labor Of dipping. The results of
using liquid manure upon growing
vegetables are astonishing. If the
garden is large and the wastes of the
house are not sufficient, il is easy to
increase its quantity by placing a few
pounds of guano in the vat, and add.
ing water from the well or cistern.
The water should have the benefit OF
one days sun, and be applied just at
evening, or very early in the morn
ing.
