HalPs Journal ofHeaifh, referring
to consumption, makes the following
important statement:
Consumption usually begins with
a slight, dry cough in tho morning,
then. on going TO bed, getting more and
moro frequent, with more aud more
phlegm, Increasing debility. thinness of
aesh, shortness Of breath, and quick
ness Of pulse. In fatal cases its aver
age course 10 about two years, hence
the Importance Of arresting the disease
at as early stage as possible, and the
sooner rational means are employed for
this purpose the greater tho chance Of
success. TIE disease is owing to an
irritation commencing in the throat and
extending 10 the lungs, 80 that their
action is interferred with, and tho blood
does not receive sufficient oxygen TO
purify it. The most markod sign OF
lung disease is emaciation; and the
most positive indication of returning
health is increase in weight"
So speaks Halls Journal Of Health
and we may add that in desperate
cases, and, in fact. in all cases Of Con
sumption, or trouble of the throat and
lungs, immediate relief may be obtain
ed and a permanent cure Effected by
che nse Of DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for
the Lungs, a medicine known for more
than thirty-fve years as an unfailing
remedy for coughs, colds, bronchitis and
all pulmonary and pectoral diseases.
That the worst cases Of Consumption
have been cured by the use Of HalPs
Balsam has been attested to by the
thousands who have used it, or have
been cognizant Of its wonderful RENE
dial efficacy.

gloomy reports from the United States,
and they have their effect Immediately.
After the business distress of 1857 inn
migration fell off in 1868 about one
half, as compared with that year. At
tho close Of the war il at once came
up to the figuoes for 1867, and increas-
ed until 1874, when commercial dis.
tress again sent it down, not to revive
until 1880, wnen tho return Of our
prosperity was assured. According to
the experience of the past, running
back to ls45, immigration is great for
ten years, falls off for ivo to seven
years, and then starts ur again
Never before, however, was che in
crease SO great rs it has been since
1870. If We can count upon an aver
sge yearly immigration for the next
seven years equal 10 that for 1880.
1881, ond 1882, we shall receive in this
decade only, bet.een seven aud ten
millions of people f,om abroad to be
added To our permanent population.
During the sixty years from 1920 to
1880 the arrivals aggregated only ten
millions.
These immigrants, too, are bringing
a vast amount of money into the coun-
try. Barring the Italians and ehe
jewish refugees, those who arc coming
now are generally provided with some
pecuniary means with which TO estab.
lish themselves. Ii they bring no
more than City dollars apiece oa the
average, the aggregate ia enormous
when we count them by the million --.

NEEDED l.EGIsLATIoN

As the time for the converting of the
Legislature draws near, we feel it our
duty to discuss from time to time such
measures as are most needed by the peo-
pie at this time, or likely to be needed
in the near future.
First and foremost of the measures
of vital Importance to the producers
and shippers of the State, is bill to
provide for and regulate the Interchange
of traffic by commos carriers. Such
bill was introduced into the last Legisla.
ture and knows as Senate Bill, No. 81.
This bill provided, that every common
carrier in this State should receive with
out discrimination ard so forward to
their destination all freight AM passen.
ger cars whether loaded or empty, in
the case of railroads where similarity of
yuage exists, whether such cars are the
property of the corporation operating
the railroad, or of any corporation own
ing or operating any intersecting or
connecting railroad, and in the case of
passengers and freight, whether their
transit may have commenced on such
railroad, or on railroads owned or oper-
Ated BY any other corporation whose
ines of communication intersect or con.
meet with those of the corporation own
ing or operating the railroad over which
it is proposed to forward such nassen-
gers and freight. Notwithstanding tho
efforts of the friends of this bill TO Sc
cure its passage, the powerful influence
of monopoly made itself felt, and the
bill never reached the house The paid
attorneys of the great railroad monopo-
" in this State were in the lobby Of
the Senate, button -holing the members
and advising its defeat on constitution
al grounds. And there wele those in
the Senate opposing this bill who used
the same argument against il as did the
railroad attorneys The ignOminious
defeat of measure OF such vital i'm
portance to the farming community has
had the effect of agitating the question.
The interests of the people cannot be
longer disregarded, aud it will be
duty incumbent on the next Legislature
to see that such law is enacted. II
is no argument against the passage of
such law to say, that because there
are no competing lines of railway in the
State such law would be imperative.
The people in Oregon do not always
expect to be the slaves OF one great
transportation company, and the sooner
such Law is passed, the sooner viii
step be taken TO loosen the grasp il has
upon the shipping interests Of the
State. Such q las would encourage
the building OF shorter likes OF rail way
and would protect them, when built,
from unjust discrimination at the hands
sf the more powerful roads.
1t IS to be hoped that the members
of the next Legislature will bestir them
selves in this matter. There is no ques-
ton but that bill will be introduced
substantially the same as Senate Bill
No. 81, and the man who opposes it |
IN constitutional grounds will have to
cite some more convincing authority |
than the hirelings Of monopoly to be
Iustained by bis constituency.

"WIY - 1T a HEPR0sra.

In our last issue, We criticized at
some length the following utterance of
ths Daily Statesman in It's Issue Of the
7th inst.
"At present indications are that
nothing will come of the Star Route"
prosecutions, saTe reproach and morti-
fcation at the utter failure on the
part Of the government to nse even
moderate exertions to convict the men
who SO boldly defrauded the govern
Dent The whole proceedings since
Bliss has taken control of the cases on
the part of the government might be
truthfully characterized as an expensive
farce poorly acted. ;"
We were led ts 90 this because we
thought that if the Statesman Was sin
cere, it would go into details and tell
its readers why it was that the '.gorer1l-
ment" was failing "to use even moder-
ate exertiens to convict the men who 80
boldly defrauded the government.
But the ,StatesD,0n declines to en-
tighten It's readers. 1t lacks the back
bone to tell the whole truth. Further
than thai. the Statesman in Its issue of
the 18th inst. shifted its position en-
tirely, ard no longer holds the "g0rern.
ment' responsible for il, failure to uie
even moderate exerti9ns to prosecute
the star route thieves Here is what
the Statesn,na now says
"Our reasons f1r believing that the
prosecutions Of the chief conspirators in
the "Star Route frands would prove a
failure, were not because they were Re-
publicans or bad held high places, nor
because we believed that the Admins.
tration would try TO shield them, or that
the moral influence of the Republican
party would he exerte in their defense !;
but because we have seen the great
difficulty in prosecuting successfully
wealthy criminals. Especially is this
true where the testimony must chiefly
come from the same class of individuals
the witnesses are either bought off or
run out of the country and in cases
where the operations have been so
widespread as in this instance, il is
difficult to obtain jury that has not on
it some one who has not had ga share
of the hog"
Ii the Statesman was sincere-if it
believed in civil service reform, and in
furnishing the delinquent men Of It's
party-it would stick to It's first posi-
ton and hold the government" re-
sponsible for the disgraceful proceedings
being enacted in the star route cases.
AS yet, there is no evidence that mon
ey has been used to buy off witnesses,
or to run them oct of the country, and
the Statesman simply begs the question
when it sets up such flimsy reasons for
failure to convict the guilty in the star
route cases. II the government is not
to blame, why Is not Dorsey deposed 9l

APPROPRIATION E0n oRRGoS.


THE appropriations for Oregon in
the river and harbor appropriations bill
as it passed the Senate last week, am
ounted in all to S5b3,000 distributed
as follows:
For the improvement of tho Lower
Columbia and bar 100000; Yaquina
Bay, 100000; Cascade Locks, $780,
600. An increase Of 100000 over
the house bill. The appropriations are
largo and will be of great benefit to the
commercial interests of the State.
Only one journal in the State, so far
as we have yet seen, has expressed u
different opinion, and that Que is the
oregoaian. That paper in speaking
of,ths appropriation says, s,that"the great
est part of it is appropriated in way
which will do the commerce of Oregon
not a pennyworth Of good now or here
after"
Everybody knows that is false. Had
the whole amount been for the i'm.
provement OF the Lower Columbia
