The election of republican legis-
lature in Oregon, by a majority of
at least six, is the latest from that
State. This assures a republican Sen
ator in the place of Grover, democrat,
and will give the U. S. Senate to the
republicans in March, 1888, without
the vote of the traitor Malone. The
only hope for us is to secure the lower
House, and from present indications
matters are working nicely to that
end

The Court of Appeals is still mum
as to their decision in the Neal and
Craft cases as well as in the Austin
case. Should the people interested in
these cases get impatient and want to
hang somebody, we suggest that they
try their hands on the members of this
Court, not necessarily to entirely sus-
pend their animation. but to convince
them that something more is expected
of them than junketing around the
country on their own business.

On our FIRST page is given the Road
law as passed by the late Legislature
for this county, provided it is accepted
by the people at the election in Au'
gust. The bill does away with the
old system of working roads, and in
stead provides for their letting to con-
tractors, who bid lowest, TO keep them
in repair. An additional tax is to be
levied to pay for it which will be both
ad valorem and by poll. II strikes us
that the bill will better equalize the
burden of the road keeping and put
the weight where it ought to be on
those who use it most. The county is
already taxed to the extent of 5000 to
81 900 for teams ard plows for these
roads, which, of course, under the new
system, will be furnished by the con-
tractors.

AC. BUELL., of the Washington
Critic, the man who started the sensa-
tiOnal report that gigantic whisky
ring was in existence, but who now adj
mits that he was lying, or rather as he
terms it, only in fun, is not of that
class of editors that do honor to the
profession. He acknowledged before
the Congressional Committee that he
had been offered bride without re.
senting it as an honest man should,
and the impression is that he would
not hesitate to accept one. The Critic
and its criticisms should hereafter pass
as naught if such creature remains
at the head of it.
