ACTIONS IN CONGRESS-.

A portion of the democratic press
has been referring to the meetings
held by the citizens of the various
counties in relation to the Yaqulna
bay improvement.
Upon all occasions when referring
to this matter they seek to elevate
Mr.. Grover and hit Mr.. George a
peck on the head. This is undoubt.
edIy the cheapest manner that the
people of Oregon have e!er ex-
pcrienced in making political capital
for Mr.. Grover. He has been in the
Senate almost full term, and what
has he ever accomplished for Ore
gon? We cannot answer the ques-
tion but leave the response to come
from these party organs which be
come so ojubilant over SO little. Mr..
Whitcaker, Grover and another dem
ocratic member could only obtain
$50, 900 for Yaquina bay in-two years
and the democrats applauded White
aker on account of it to such an ex-
tent that casual observer would
naturally christen it the eighth won
der of the world. Mr.. White" ker
had the same Legislative memorial
asking 100000 TO assist him as will
be presented by Mr.. George at the
present term. If Mr., George even
secures 100000 he will have done
more for this improvement at one
term than Mr.. Whitaker and his
other two assistants did at two terms
of Congress.
We are creditably' informed and
Know it to be a fact that the plan
adopted by Mr.. George to work for
the Yaquina bay appropriation was
to introduce the bill for the amount
recommended by the board Of en-
gineers as he had followed the
amount of their Recommendations for
all other places of which they had
made mention in their report for
Oregon and when The bill, was refer
ed 20 the proper committee it was
Mr.. Georges intention to go be-
fore that committee of which he was
a member and bring to their notice the
memorial of the Legislature alluded
ito and all other matters to show the
necessity and Importance OF an ~
creased amount and if possible 'scs;
cure recommendation of the COM
mittee TO increase the snm to as great
an amount as i, was possible to get
them TO recommend. This is the
plan that he is pursuing yet.
Whether it is the best or wether it
won d have been better to intro
dnce the bill for II much greater
amount and run thu risk of the CON
mittee's cutting it down, time only
cantell. Ii iste.tain that NJ. George
is in the city of Washington AMI has
made special study of this s'hiec,
and it is reasonable to suppose that
his advantages there would warran,
every one willing to do him justice
in granting that he has pnrscd the
best method.
The confidence reposcd i'll Mr.
George by the people of Oregon is
not misplaced and he has the conf
den ee of his party regardless OF the
effort of few democratic sheets to
/ belittle h is forts and cast a slul
upon his name ly holding up te
public gaze such a man as Grover

POPULAR EDUCATIG1.

FUfCLAk EDUtAIEUls
One of the most encouraging
features of the present age is the
great interest manifested by our peo-
pie, in the subject of popular educa
ton. The education of the children,
through the instrumentality OF the
public schools, is the crowning glory
of our Institutions. The necessity OF
educating the masses Of the people,
in a popular government like ours,
admits not of serious debate; none
will deny this proposition, except
such as are hostile to the principles
of republican government and enc-
mics to the best interests of their race.
In government, in which the people
are the repositories of all civil and
political power, it is a matter OF
prime importance, that the young he
pope,ly trained for the responsible
tiles of useful manhood and woman
hood We have passed the time,
thanks to the public school-teacher
and the healthful march of mind,
when universal and popular educa'
ton, at public expense, was consid'
cred a matter wrong in theory aud
inexpedient in practice. 1t is now
well nigh universe ly admitted, in
this country at least, that the safety
and perpetui,y of government, as
we'll as its wise and judicious admin
istraton, is wholly dependent upon
the education and intelligence of the
masses governed. Indeed it is now
fast becoming an admitted fact, that
the proper education and training of
every creature, made III the image OF
his creator, is indispensable to the
stability and perpetuity of every con
stitutional form Of government, when
such persons are citizens or subjects
of such government.
In this country. the life and prop
erty Of every man and woman, is
subject to, and dependent upon, the
popular will. The people, themselves
are the government. They dictate
the form, the powers and the instru-
mentalties of government. The Sc
Letting of its officers, the making ofthe
laws, the formulating OF its policy,
whether good or bad, is the result,
directly or indirectly OF the popular
will
Do the rights of labor, Of property
or of persons, find expression in law:
directly or indirectly, it is the rsffec-
ton of the voice Of the masses. Do
the forms of government become
unpalataGle; others are substituted by
the voice Of the people. Does the
policy of the administration incur
their disapproval; the people. compel
a change. Is the question of free
trade or riffspresented for solution;
the will Of the people is as the voice
of God. Indeed whatever the ques
tion which demands consideration
! whether it he descent and distribu-
ton as property, the rights of mar.
tied women or universal sutfcrage
the people answer potentially and
/ all yield submissively. To the pub
lie schools of our country, is largely
committed, the destiny of the Amer
lean union. and with it, the fondes1
hopes of human liberty. Competent
teachers of the children Of Benton
Co., and elsewhere, are, therefore
entitled to lasting tribute Of graft
tude and respect.

A Pathetic BncLgreund.

To the domestic history OF Engineer Melville
there is a pathetic background, in the shadow of

to which Arctic exposure and peril are but boys

events, to set himself right before that part Of the
public which delights in thinking evil OF Il man

home that you have, old fellow there isn't
money enough in the Herald or in WASH
