EDUCATIONAL STATISTICAL pre-
hminary report of the census bureau
on the public schools and illiteracy in
the State of Maryland, presents some
features of special interest. The total
member Of persons item years old or
over in the State who cannot read is
Ill, 1857, or 2,713 less than in 1870. a
marked decrease when we consider
that it is in the face Of a considerable
increase Of the total population. In
the report as presented to US the reIa-
tive numbers Of the white and coiored
illiterates (persons who cannot ready
are not given-an unfortunate onlis-
sion. The number Of whites who can
not write is "A, 316, Of colored SO, IT2.
Os this number Of whites 36,027 are
natives and $3.50 foreign. In 1870
the number Of whites unable to write
was AZ, 1872; Of colored Sc, 703. These
last figures, as compared with those
Of 1880, do not perhaps indicate de-
crease in the number Of coiored per-
sons who give attention to writing.
but indicate that knowledge has not
increased with them more rapidly
than numbers, as was the case with the
whites. The total Of whites q years
old and over who could not write in
1880 was "a, 155; In 1870, 32,766.-
OF this number, for 1880, Is. l52 were
males and 1908 were females. In
1880 the number Of colored q years
old and over who could not write was
&c, 357; in 1870, 50, 705-fgures that
indicate perhaps some falling off in
diligence on the part Of our cblored
voters in the last decade.

The Wheat of the Northwest.

The Northwest is rapidly becoming
the granary of the world, as is shown
by figures of the enormous yields Of
the past few years. The crop of
Minnesota last year was estimated at
from 35 600, 900 to 40, 600. 900 bush
els, of which product the mills man
ufactured 5000 600 barrels of flour
during 1850. Illinois, Wisconsin
and Iowa add to this 21 ,00O, 900 bar
rels, or nearly two-iifths the entire
production of the whole country.
Still the demand continues, and is
likely to remain unchecked for sew
eral years to come, to supply the
foreign markets, where the wheat
crop has been for several years q
partial failure.
The completion of the Northern
Pacific Railroad will open up the
rich grainfelds of Eastern Washing
ton to supply this demand, and it
will very naturally find its outlet by
the broad Pacific, to the marts of
commerce; and in this connection,
the statement Of Mr.. Hurst, the
owner of the Waldo Mills at Salem,
who attended the AIillers' Interna-
tiopal Convention, heldin Cincinnati,
few months ago, possesses a spec
ial interest. He reports the atten-
dance very large and the machinery
on exhibition the best in the world.
He had with him for exhibition small
samples of Oregon wheat, and the
millers, delegates from the United
Kingdom and all parts of Europe,
pronounced it beyond exception the
best they ever saw. In fact, it was
unexcelled in any country on the
globe, and they doubted if its supe-
rior could be produced anywhere.
Their praise was unqualified. When
this is taken in connection with the
fact that the Oregon City Mills took
the highest premium at the Centen-
NAL Exhibition, for the best flour, in
competition with the world, and our
own Thurston county the highest
award for whsat, it does seem, if
this cereal is to be king, that the
scepter will be welded in this land
of promise.

The Willamette Farmer of the 31st
ult. publishes an excellent article
on thecounties of our Territory which
border on the Sound. and, excepting
that it locates Chehalis county in
Oregon, is in the main correct; but
that map which accompanies it is
fearfully wanting in accuracy, espec-
tally in the spelling of the names of
rivers and counties, which it seems
should be familiar enough to every
body to insur g correct photography.
We would probably not have com
planned at the torturing of PuyaIlup
into " Puallop," " Shoalwater" into
+" Sholewater," or p" Cathlamet" into
Cattilamet." had the designer or
engraver not committed mortal Of
tense by leaving our Olympia Tenino
Railroad from the map; nor would
we have found it in our heart to CEN
sure him for spelling Multno-
nah "Multanomah," and Hillsboro
"Hillsburrow," had he not trans
formed our euphonious and classical
Skokomish into Shohomish. That
is more than we can stand; hence
this growl.

Is there Sectional Feeling!

The Walla-walla Union still insists
that the voters of Western Was h
ington are inclined to be clanpish
and to vote for q resident of their
section OF country, irrespective OF
party affiliations. We had thought
che late election gave the assump-
ton a decided negative, but that
journal reiterates the charge, and
quotes figures in its support. In
the late contest Mr.. Brents gained
339 votes, in five of the western
counties, and lost $50 in the remain
ing seven. How this shows Sec
tional spirit, when compared with
m election when both candidates
hailed from Eastern Washington, We
are at a loss to determine. 1t APP
pears, from its own showing, that
the Sound did no better for Mr..
Burke than it did for Mr.. Cation,
two years before, although it was
reasonable to expect that any can
didate would WELD a personal in
huence, not bound by either politi-
cal or sectional preferences.
We affirm, as we did before cleo
ton, that if there is any feeling of
rivalry existing between the sage
bush and cohog districts, it is not
manifested in any hostile or objec-
tionable manner. Our people have
generally expressed qualification at
the thorough development and rap
id settlement of the Eastern coun-
ties, as the one thing needful to re-
move the rocky barriers which limit
the productive capacities of both
sections. If the Union truly repre-
SCENTS the sentiment East of the
mountains, it is to be regretted that
the unity Of sentiment SO essential
to progress, should be wanting in q
community which might be SO great
j benefited by it. Our contempor-
airy is certainly mistaken, SO far as
the Sound counties are concerned,
and we incline to the belief that
partisan prejudices have warped its
judgment Of the people it more di-
rectly represents, or we will have a
more difficult task than merely
opening the gateways Of commerce.

A New YoRK paper having made
the statement that Jno. w. Forney,
Daniel e. Sickles, and many other
Republicans who refused to support
Garfield, are. returning to the Re-
publican party, Forney, in his Pro-
Sress Of the 25th ult., responds, that
havisg, during the past Ten years,
tried to reform the cbuses OF the
Republican party in city, State and
nation, without accomplishing the
task, he and thousands of others of
like belief, found themselves forced
to leave the Republican party. And
he adds: When I placed myself
logically under the Democratic flag,
Ifslt that the present Republican
party had long since disgraced the
examples Of Lincoln, Sumner, Chase
and Douglas, and had concluded to
follow the reign of terror led by the
carrupsionists, who bought the bal
lot and bullied the laboring men.
With thousands of pure Democrats
who joined the Republican party to
save the Government, and not to
pnnish the South and to enrich
reckless and despotic men, I returned
to the party of Jefferson and Jack
son, resolved to stay" Speaking for
himself, Mr.. Forney clearly and un.
mistakably refutes the statement of
the New York paper. He has no
more intention of returning to the
Republican ranks now than he had

ination Of Garfield was announced.

but lie thought lie could make it
better on foot, as he would follow
the railroad track. He passed orn
section III good spirits. Two Indians
going from here to Wallula were
some distance ahead, which broke
the path tor him. 1t seems that he
went within about three miles of the
steamer and then turned back
Nothing was heard of him until
yesterday al out l p. NJ, when
Messrs. Roach and Andersou came
down from the Gdi"S. After walk
inc about three miles this way, they
saw blood. on the trail and
sprinkled along On the snow, and
places where the snow was stamped
down us il person had been crawl
ing and rolling in it. They saw
where he had walked from the
railroad track out to u telegraph
pole, evidently to get kindlings to
make fire. They found matches
in one place where he had tried to
make q fire. They came on until
within six miles of this place, where
they found Mr.. Lowe, lying in the
snow and in dying condition. He
was ust gaspirg for breath. His
hands We're bleeding some. The
skin was tom from his fingers and
hands in several places, which |
suppose he did it trying to get sage
brush to make q fire, as he had no
knife with him. Mr.. Roach came
on into town as fast as possible 20
bring the news, and as soon as l
heard it ordered our little switch
engine to go out and hing him in.
We took a box cal and dozen citi-
zens. We were detained some by
snow Oh the track about foot deep.
We arrived there about las, and
found him dead. We brought bis
remains here into the office. We
took the clothes off, and after dress
ing the body neatly, conveyed it to
Masonic Hall and placed watchmen
over it, where it now lies. We
came 10 the conclusion that he died
from fatigue and exhaustion. Some
think that he bled from his lungs,
but 1 do not think such was the case.
as no traces OF blood were to be
found on his whiskers or face. Pre-
parations are being made for his buri-
al. The address of his mother is
No. 2033 Howard street, San Fran
cisco.
MIR. Lowe was, few years ago, a
resident of this place, and COM
position for upwards of year on the
STANDARD. He possessed many good
points of character. not the least of
which was fidelity to any trust re-
posed in him. His death indicates
this; he died in the line of duty.
Peace to him.
