vAN1snED HOURS.

Where are they gone, those dear dead days,
Those sweet past days Of long ago,
a.. Whose ghosts 60 floating to and fro
When evening leads us through her maze!
Where are they gone? All! VINO can tell.
Who wave once more that long passed
spell.
They did exist when We were young,
We n,st our life with strength and trust,
Hs deemed all things were pure and just,
Nor knew life had double tongue,
We lightly sang happy song,
Nor deemed our way could e'er be wrong
And then all chanacl; A. life went by,
The friend deceived, or bitter death
SIniled as he drank our dear ones breath
And would not let us also die.
Day followed day; as on they went
Each took some gift that life had sent
Yet II was ours, that perfect past,
Ne did have days that knew not pain.
We once had friends death had not tn en-
And flowers and songs that could not last
Were ours In that most blessed time,
Whtn earth seemed heavens enchante,
cline.
And so think, when lights burn low
And all the house Ia fast asleep,
From out a silence vast and deep
Those dear dead days We worship 20,
Breathe OH us from their hidden store
Their long lost peace, their faith once more
God keep those dear old times; all mel
Beyond our vision they may rest
Till on some perfect day and blest
| Once more those dear dead days will be,
For death who took all, may restore
The past we loved, to us once more.

CANAL AT THE DALLE9,

The report Of Capt. c. +. Powell,
corps Of engineers, Of his survey for q
canal and locks at The Dalles has been
received. 1t is q very interesting and
instructive document Capt. Powell
states that the total fall Gom Cello to
Dalles city, distance of 1876 miles; is,
at extreme low water, 8l.4 feet, at
mean high water 6l.7 feet, at extreme
high water 565 feet. The distance
from safe water abovo Cello falls to
navigable river next above The Dallcs
landing is &C. 200 feet; the total fall, at
low water, is 80.7; this fall decreases
gradually to food stage when it be.
comes 522 feet. To overcome these
falls four plans are suggested. Capt.
Powell recommends the removal Of Oh.
structions in the river below C,lilo
falls and canal and locks around them.
While building the canal and locks he
proposes to use free wagon road 9.6
miles long, to be converted into free
railroad portage Of less than two miles
in length, as soon a. the channel is
made navigabls to the foot Of the falls.
To carry out this plan, including the
canals. he estimates would cost $40,
jl7,343.7l, and he thinks that with
appropriations of 100000 a year
the work could be completed in about
eleven years from commencement. The
canal is long way off, Union.

OUR CANDIDATE.


Reports from ull parts of the Terri
tory indicate the election Of Hon. Il. 4.
Singiser as Delegate to Congress.
Everywhere his personal popularity is
known. He is active, and in all the
positions he has held has attended
strictly to business. He has an exten.
sivc acquaintance among the depart.
ments at Washington, and, being of the
same political persuasion, can, and will,
Gf electedD have much more in attend.
ing to the wants Of the people of this
Territory than Mr.. Aiuslie could have
if he should be elected.
This Territory needs man who will
not only introduce bills into Congress,
but will press them to successful is
sue. 1t needs man who can have in
tiuence enough among the departments
to accomplish the results asked for by
the people, speedily.
Mr.. Ainslie has introduced enough
bills into Congress, but, during his four
years service has never succeeded in
getting but one through Congress.
What claims then can he have to a
third .erm?-and with so little work
accomplished has he not had the office
long enoug h? We remember that he
assisted George Q. Cannon last winter,
and worked hard for him, but does
that add anything to his claim for a
third term except among the Mormons
and Polygamists who SO persistently
urged his nomination and dictated it
at the Democratic Convention.
1t is said that Mr.. Singiser is a new
conner. That is not 50. He came into
this Territory over four years ago.
All his interests are here. He is spend
ing the best years of his life in this
Territory. His case is far different
from that Of man who came here
when sixty years old. In Territory,
the question of a new comer should
never be raiscd-cspecially in a case
like Mr.. Sing,ser's-This Territory now
contains between $4,000 and $4,000
people-twice as many as it contained
when Mr.. Singiser came here in 1873.
1t only contained $4,000 in 1880. We
want emigration. We want people to
come hers--youog men, minors, ranch
ers, carpenters, laborers and educated
men. We believe that this Territory
conta Ms superior mineral resources;
that we have an immense amount Of
good agricultural lands which can be
irrigated. These will draw euigrants.
We hope to become State sometime
in the near future. 1t requires pop
uiation of more than twice our present
number to admit US as a State. Sup
pose then, or even now, an issue should
be drawn between those here in 1878
and Those who have come here since
that time, or rather between those here
in 1878 and those who shall have come
here from 1878 to 1887. 1t would I've
evident that old residents would sat-
fer. We want no such issue. Let Ms
have the best men represent US, be they
old or new comers. Let all have an
equal chance. Let us ostracize none.
Mr.. Singiser barred bis breast to
Southern bullets in defense of ou,
country for nearly four years. He was
then, certainly, member of the whole
country.
The objections then to Mr.. Ainslie
are that he was nominated by the Nor.
mon church Of whom cannot
vote-that be has done nothing worth

A T ACCIDENT.

A sad and fatal shooting case oc-
Cured at Maj. w. B. Lynch's school,

Routon, Of Oxford, was killed by a
pistol in the hands of Fred. Mobley,
If Rock Hill, S. G. Mobley was
examining a 38-calibre self:cocking
revolver, and Routon stood in front
of him. The latter was asked what
he would do if a robber should ap-
proach him. Mobley pointed the
pistol at him, and forgetting the Pc
c%uliarity of the weapon, put his fin
ger on the trigger. There was a re-
port and Routon fell, shot through
the body from stomach to back. He
lived several hours, in great agony.
Yesterday his body was brought
here from High Point, and last
night was taken to Oxford. He was
only about Is years OF age.-Ral-

Mr.. Editor: Will you allow me
space in your columns to make a
few remarks in the way of introduc-
ton of M of our candidates from
this County who is before the peo-
pie of both Counties for their sui
frages in the coming election for a
seat in the House of Representa-
tivea. am aware that you publish
q Democratic paper and may not
feel at liberty TO publish a coa,npni;,
cation from an Independent, snd
shall only ask yon TO insert it as .
regular advertisement.
The gentleman l wish to intro
duce to the people of Orange is Mr..
Thomas G. Oakley, comparatively a
stranger to most of your people. In
behalf of that gentleman 1would say
that I have known him tor some time.
He has been living in our midst, and
bis personal deportment has been
euch as to win the confidence. Of
those with whom he has had inter.
course, and his private and personal
reputation is without r%eproach, q
gentleman Of unimpeached charac-
ter, and one who commands the re-
spect and confidence Of the votere OF
both Counties irrespective of party.
Mr.. Oakley, by profession is a skill:
full mechanic, and is fully in accord
with the laboring class, and ,hss 10
the kind Of men we want in our
Legislature who have always been
ignored by the aristocratic element
that governs the laboring class and
enacts such laws as suits their own
interest and takes money out Of the
poor mans pocket to enrich them
selves.
In conclusion, allow me to say
that I feel confident that Mr.. Oak
ley, if elected, will have an eye
single to the welfare of his constitu-
ents, and will be an honor and
shining light to our whole people.
