From Lane County.

EDITORS GAZETTE:-Yo our remarks OF last
week relative to political affairs In Oregon
were well timed and to the point. Ii the
Republican party is to be successful In the
approaching campaign, it is essential that
individuals must be kept in the background
and the great cementing principles of the
party pushed to the forefront. Political
parties cannot easily be led to victory by
men who are unpopular with the rank and
file The Republicans of Oregon have
learned the truth of this heretofore, and it
is evident that they intend to enter the
contest of next spring minus the incubus
that rides to ruin. When the Legislature
is elected and assembled. then will be the
proper time for ambitious gentlemen to
make their claims known, and for each to
satisfy the people as to which he will repre-
sent in the Senate, the people,. or a corpo-
ration. The signs of the times indicate for
next year an independent feeling on the
part of voters which the party lash, as
welded by such eminent7 retainers as Ben
Simpson, will be powerless to avert. The
people of Lane as of Benton, are capable OF
managing their own political affairs, and
outside dictation and interference will
certainly lead to revolt. REPUBLICAN,.

them this week as corrected.
WHEREAS, The interests Of the William

the improvement of Yaquina Bay harbor ;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we earnestly urge upon
our Seators and Representatives III Congress

the general government liberal appropria.
tions for the further improvement OF said
Yaquina Bay.
Resolved, That the Secretary Is hereby

lutions to each of our members OF Congress.

Smallpox at Hepner.

Mr.. Lot Livermore, writing to The
Oregonian from Pendleton, under date of
9Th inst, says: Hepner has been .quarran-
tined for about two weeks owing to the
general spread of smallpox in that town.
No mail has been received from there since
uuarintine was established, except by
special messenger. From the above source
1 have just received letter from a promi-
nent citizen of the place who gives a sad
account of their condition. He says "the
flag is at half mast, the town looks deserted
and what few are met look sad and gloomy. '
From all the news received from there
Judge there has been over 40 cases in the
town and immediate vicinity. Among the
deaths reported is child OF VIM Walker,
senger and Geo. Latimore in town. Most
of the sick are doing well and a few have
recovered:

Birth day Party.

On the evening of the 9th instant many
of the young people gathered together at the
Occidental Hotel in this place, pursuant to
previous arrangements to extend Surprise
party to Messrs. Meyer Harris of this place,
and James A. Yantis of the Gazette, for
the purpose of celebrating the university OF
their birth day. The occasion was one OF
the most enjoyable ever had in the city.
just what age each one OF these young
gentlemen were on that eventful nighs we
have been unable to learn, and as they have
both been single gentlemen for a long time
and are no doubt looking forward to a
proper time in the future when the cele-
bration of a wedding day may be appropri-
ately rendered to each one of them no doubt
the Young ladies upon that occasion failed
to learn definitely the number of years
since the light of day first smiled upon them.
MANY nice and costly presents changed
hands upon that occasion. The following
are the names of the guests who were
present:

One of the most regretted clrcum-
stances of this occasion was that Mr.. antis
on account of sickness was confined TO MS
room and could not be out to enjoy this pleas.
ant occasion. During the evening some OF
the party enjoyed a season OF dancing to
the time of some nice music which had been
found for the occasion.

South Wales and New leland. These go

greatly facilitate commerce between the
Uuited States and antipodes. The british
Australian colonies have been working for
years to get these money order exchanges,
as they would rather buy goods, especially
manufactured articles and notions from the
United States than Lohdon.-At present
these colonies have to send bills of exchange
ON London for all purchases in the United
States, but under these order exchanges
they can remit the exact amount of bills
substantially in United States coin. Super
intendent Mcdonald, of the money order
SYSTEM, says this step has accomplished
more for the extension of commerce than
anything the postoffice department hos
done for years.
Dark Outlook.
The Irish farmers are more generally
adopting the no rent policy, even on good
estates The situation is therefore dark er,
because reductions of the land court are
proving unsatisfactory While everybody
is demanding that the government shall
do something further to restore law and
order, there is remarkable scarcity of
suggestions of practical kind. Military
men arc ever ready with martial law, but
even drumhead lieutenants require some
sort of evidence, aud it is almost as hard to
obtain evidence as a verdict. The same
remark applies to suspending of the jury
laws. Since the judges set their faces
against this latter the Times has changed
its tack and exhibited it's uncertitude by
favoring Sir Harding Gifford's proposal to
bring Irish members for trial to England.
London, Dec, S.-At meeting of the
common council to-day a vote Of flO5 to
the fund for the relief of distressed Irish
ladies was moved. An amendment was
substituted of f2l0 Ind carried without
opposition.
New York, Dec. AT a meeting held
at Doublin yesterday O'Donnell declared
that Parnelrs illness. was owing to bad
prison diet, which was enough to break
down the strongest constitution.
Salt Lake, Dec. lO.-The following
dispatch was sent from here to-day to Hon.
George w. Cassidy, M. c; The Mormons
belonging to neither political party, but
compose political and religious organiza-
tion which keeps faith with no party not
subservient to its policy and crimes; claim
ing its church to be the government of God
on earth, destined soon to subyert all
secular governments; hostile to both polit-
ical parties and claiming absolute allegiance
to itself against all other parties and gov
ernments. This theocratfc party has no
claims to aid and comfort from the demo.
cratic party. The democrats of Utah
deprecate any affiliation with this organi-
zation. By order of the democratic central
committee.
