OFFICIAL PAPER FOR BENTON COUNTY
UNHAPPY IRELAND.

The situation in Ireland runs from
bld to wcrs. with rapid strides. In
fact, a state of war actually exists in
many districts; and though the coun-
try has not yet been put under mar
tial law, it is easy to see that this is
what the end must be unless the Brit
ish Ministry put sudden stop to
evictions, which they will hardly
dare to do, as that would surely re-
suit in the defeat of Mr.. Gladstope's
Land bill and in the disruption of his
party in the Commons. Like all
compromises Of a chronic evil this
measure fails to satisfy extremists on
either side. Conservatives are bitter
ly denouncing it as conceding too
lunch against the landed interest.
while the Irish party insist with still
more vehemence that it does not con-
c.ae enough. The middle party, but
fed by both extremes, are sorely
puzzled to know what to do, and as
is conn Oh under like conditions,
take but halfbearted measures. The
constabulary forces are tied hand and
foot, and in that state sent out to
quell mobs, who hoot, scott, and pelt
them with stones. Of course, nobo-
by cares to hold the office of consta-
BILE on such dangerous terms, and the
constabulary are suddenly taken with.
a resigning temper. No wonder, af-
ter four hundred of them have been
seriously disabled by wounds, which
they had not the power to resent or
prevent any other way than by re-
signing. Every resignation of a
constable, every successful stoning of
constabulary force, emboldens the
mob and leads one step near n to
general rising and to open war
against the hated English landlords.
1t is easier to restrain civil officers
than military. So far the military
have borne all the insults put upon
them by the rioters, but not always
patiently. The fifty marines who
were stoned by the mob the other
day and forced to retreat must have
felt strongly provoked to open fire,
and when they are REINFORCED and
sent back they will be in no mood for
another retreat. If the rioters mur-
der constable or a processerver,
they are safe from punishment, for
no Irish jury will convict. 1t the
constable kills a rioter he is thence
forth a "marked man." and his life
as good as lost. The continuance of
this state of affairs for any length of
time is impossible. 1t points inevita-
bly, to declaration Of martial law.
The situation is rapidly assuming the
form which the slavery question took
m this country in 1s60-61. 1t ad-
mits ofno halfway measures or COM
promise. 1t appeals to force, and
force aloue. we fear, will have to
solve it, in spite of Archbishop
Croke's earnest invocations for a
peaceful and non-resistiug solution.

One of the cantons of Switzerland
has passed a law forbidding children
less than fifteen years old from smok-
ing cigars or tobacco either at home
or in the streets. # has been found
that evils have sprung from the prac
tice, little boys even suffering from
paralysis as the result. How depIor-
ably common the practice of smoking
among small boys and Young men has
become since cheap cigarettes have
come into fashion. In the editorial
columns of a daily paper in another
city we saw the physical evils Of the
practice summed up in the following
striking sentence. "In addition to
the ruinous influence which so strong
poison as NICOTINE must have upon
young physiques, even when taken in
the smallest quantities and in the
mildest form, there is the fact that it
frequently leads to a state of nervous
mes AMI depression, from which the
sufferer naturally seeks relief in alco-
holic stimulants." Every parent
should, BY example and precept, try
to prevent his boys from learning 20
smoke.

tions. The late Col. Tom Scott so
completely owned the Pennsylvania
Legislature for years that a member
once moved that if "Scott had no
more business before that body that
they adjourn" We will live to see
Oregon handled with the same ten
der and systematic regard for wealth
invested in railroads and steamers.
Some will say "what are you going
to do about it?" answer. nothing. Ev-
erything that could be done has been
done to avert this disaster, and no
f. ult can be found with those who
have acted for the Oregon Pacific.
They have spent time and money,
and struggled aga nst heavy odde,
while a company like the Northern
Pacific succumbs, and a company like
the Slilnited Scotch" Il guess we all
understand what ''limited" means,)
take the contribution of the farmers,
made TO establish competition and
cheaper rates, and leases the whole at
"a good rate of interest for 90 years,
surrendering the object sought for to
the enemy. I cannot in justice con-
denim those who have acted so entire
ly different and considerate. :,

EDIToRs GAzETTE.-I ask the ia
vor cnee more through your paper to
answer piece signed Lee Henkle.
In the Gazette of June 10th Baalam's 5
mule has brayed again, this time he
signs his name Lee Uenkle, and now
| will ask the pardon of the public
for noticing this man, for you that
know him know what kind of head
and cheek he has. He has been gull
ed into signing his name to that piece
in the paper and is more to be pitt
ed than blamed. He says he wants
this controversy to stop, 0, yes, that
stop thief is an old adage, Lee, here
after before you stick your name to
a thing, know what it contains, you
can take my first answer to Tax-pav-
er and chew that; I don't go back on
any thing that have said, so call
yonr witnesses and prove up, or keep
your clans closed and your nose out
of my business, for | don't think that
| viii notice you or your confederate
again. and after have made my re-
turns, than the public has a right to
criticise me as public officer. and if
any grievances, there is a board ef
Equalization that those wrongs, if
any, can be righted without such
squash heads as Lee Henkle, with
more cheek than brains, braying
abont how people have been assessed.
Now / will drop him to attend to his
Office OF Supervisor, and as he is
standing candidate for Constable
it would be we'll for him to look af-
ter that Office while old Batrish is On
the reservation. E. SKIpToN.

What will the caricaturists now do
to make General Buffers familiar
features appear odious in the pictorial
papers? The New York Star says
that he recently paid an oculist
ST. 900 to cut tie cords that drew his
eye ball toward his nose, thus giving
his eye that obliqne cast that has for
many years been familiar to the pub
lie. Butler without his sqnint would
be another man, and afford a fresh
subject for the artist. It is as if he
had lost individuality, and we are not
sure that we shall love the fascina-
ting widow quite so ardently now
that his features have become too
dreadfully symmetrical, you know.

Des rabls Ornamental Trees.

Suggestions for making attractive
homes upon the position of perhaps
only one or two trees, or upon their ap-
propriateness, often may depend much
of the beauty of place. What an ap-
pearance of comfort and repose does q
single, gracefully dropping elm or maple
sometimes impart to home What an
air of protection and friendliness such q
tree will give, as it towers above cot
tage or house How it turns into q
pleasing picture what would, without it.,
be merely house with bold, rectangu-
lar outlinesi In this matter of planting
trees, it is well to remember that they
are often liable to be lifelong friends,
and that whore we place them, there
they will probably remain through many
coming year. Then, too, it is best to
make allowance for their future growth,
and to take due care that varieties,
suited to the surroundings, are placed in
appropriate places. Perhaps can give
few suggestions that will assist some
one, sometime, in identifying his or her
home. It may be that the readers may
not have occasion to put them into prac-
tice for years, but even ct such time in
the future, some of the hints given may
yet be of some avail.
It is by no means necessary to obtain
costly trees in order to secure the best
effect. Fine feathers, or costly silks, or
