 Throughout; the entire country Ser- tember is regarded as the opening of the oyster season, and it is the opening of the oyster season, for that matter, bu, the first of September. the oyster in Arkan- saw n pale and almost too delicate to be eaten with that earnesmess and ardor so characteristic of this bivalve. In this state the weather is just as warm in Sep tember as it IS in July. and in July it IS hot enough to roast an elephant. That's the kind of weather we have. People be- come accustomed to is though, but i, re- quires all their strength forti,ude and re- iigion.
 Oscar Wilde may now remain at home.

When he came as an advertised poet. the Americans wanted to see him. The American wants to see anything ,ha, is advertised. In this country an advertised ape will draw a crowd. { Jus, here we discover with the keen eye of criticism that we give some relentless contemporary chance to say "Well, 90 and advertise yourself and make some money.r By the time the SuHoeity h8o oico away, Mf.

C0MPARIsoSs.

When Republican newspapers are
repeating the stale ISLANDERS that the
Democratic party is made up Of whis-
key-gnzz'ers, il would be we'll for
people who are seeking truth, to look
into such facts as the following
There are 1900 drinking saloons In
st. Lsuis. This is in Democratic State.
There are 1000 drinking saloons in
Chicago. This is in a Republican State,
whose laws arr made by the constituents
Of John A. Logan. who now looms up
az Republican candidate for Ptssi-
dent. Chicago has more than twice as
man, saloons as ST. Louis, and yet, the
population of St. Louis Is tour fiflhs Of
that of Chicago. Ia the whole State
Of Missouri there arc but $500 dram
shops, l32 wine and beer, 35 drug
stores that retail liquor under dram
shop licenses, and ~ groceries which
retail under dramshop licenses, making
a total of 1901. There are more drink.
ing saloons in Chicago than in the
whole Stale Of Missouri. We further
desire to call the attention Of the earnest
candid searcher after truth and facts, to
the statement of Gov Foster, Of Ohio,
who lately said in his message TO the
Legislature, of that state, that there are
more than 10000 retail drinking places
in that State and the traffic probably
exceeds s70,000,000. 1t will be seen
froro this that the Republican State of
Ohio with onetbird more population
than Missouri supports moro than four
times as many saloons as the latter,
which is one Of the most permanently
pronsunced Democratic States in the
Union.
We think we might interest our
readers by the farther statement that
by the instrumontality of local option
laws there are eighteen counties in
Missouri where dramshops are not
licensed at ALL Comparisons are said
to be odious, and We hope that in this
case it will have the effect to make
odious the hypocrilical professions of
these Republican leaders who are con-
stanhy parading their professed virtues
before the public.

No HOPE FoR REPUEncASs.

All signs now point to the fact, that
this congress will not pass the act to
reform the tariff. The ultra protective
tariff men now believe there is but enc
hope OF electing Republican president
IN 1884. And they think that the
only hope of maintaining a high, pro-
hIbitorT, protective tariff, is in the
election of Republican, in 1884, for
president. They have therefore laid
out this program: They will retard
and hinder the legislation now peading
in Congress for tariff reform, with the
hope ofultimately defeating it. and then
force the Republican party into the
campaign of 1884 on high protective
tariff issue. They will then make their
impassioned appeals to the manufacture
ing establishments of the country for
aid in electing Republican president,
which alone would turn the power of
the government in. favor of protecting
the rich against the poor. By this
appeal, they would hope that the Golfers
of those who have already grown rich
under the protective system, would be
opened. and that coin would literally
hoR into theshands of the Dorseys and
HubbelIs to elect their president. This
is their last hope. Well do they know.
that nothing but money, in greater
abundance than ever before known. can
elect the next Republican candidate
for president. As last resort, they
will place the capital and wealth of the
country against the voters ofthe count
~. They will probably not dare to
attempt TO raise money as Hubbeli did
last year. So their last hope will de-
pend upon their effort to secure aid
and assistance from. rich corporations
and wealthy manufactures. But we
shall see what we shall see.

CONE To STAY.

To show how much faith Republicans
have in the sham civil service law, and
the hopes which they entertain that its
enforcement will result in publication
Of the civil service of the government,
it is only necessary to call the attention
of our readers to a conversation bstween
a congressman and President Arthur q
few days ago. The President asked
the congressman what he thought of the
civil service bill. "Good bill. Enables
members CT congress to soldier with
their constituents. If a fellow comes
along we don't want to help we can
say, my dear fellow I'd like to help
you but it's against the law. I would
be liable to punishment if did."
"But suppose friend comes ~ said
Gen. Arthur.
Oh, if 3 friend comes he is come to
stay. Under the new law we can get
all we want without the nuisance Of
begging for it, For all of which we
are not disposed to throw our hat very
high over the civil service law.

wheat.

Nearly all indications now point 10 a
shsrt wheat crop next harvest, In near.
ly all portions ofthe world. Tho floods
have had disastrous effect upon wheat
ia nearly all parts OF Europe as we'll as
In the Ohio and Misslssppl valleys,
while In the Willamette valley the crop
Ii badly damaged by the freeze, but We
hope notso badly as has been reported.
The damage Is far greater In seme local.
itIes than others. One farmer informs
Us that his cropis damaged but little,
while his neighbor's crop Is ruined.
Wheat that was covered with water at
the time the freeze set In, seems TO have
suffered less than wheat on high lands.
In some OF the localities the oat crop
seems TO be literally cooked by the
freeze. while In others IL In not injured.
The weather is getting warm and
spring.lIke and the actual damage can
be determined In few days While
the farmers have been badly damaged
by the freeze, yet It. has not been with
out It's good effects. They inferm us
that much benefit will be derived from
the killing Of Wild oats, which seem to
have been killed wherever it had
sprouted. Another advantage derived
from the freeze IL the fruitful, mellow
c ondition inwhich cultivated lands are
left. Some farmers think these advan-
tages will almost compensate for their
losses. The prospect for geod prices
for wheat next fall were never better.
In fact, when we consider the emigra-
ton that win teem In to thu northwest
country next summer and fall. we arc
led 10 believe that everything which
the farmer has 10 sell will sell at high
prices for cash.
We think now Is the time for every
farmer to put forth every energy In
producing wheat. oats. barley, potatoes
and preparing fat cattle, hogs and
sheep, for the fall market.

DR. u. .. GLEN.

THIS gentleman was foully murdered
by ii. Miller, his book-keeper, at Jacin-
o, CAL, last Saturday. DIR. GLEN was
a very remarkable man. He was born
in Virginia, and served in the Mexican
War, after which he moved TO Califor.
MIA in an early day with none of this
worlds goods to begin life with. lie
engaged in raising cattle at which he
was successful in a very high degree.
In 1867 he moved into Colusa County,
whore he purchased 1000 acres of land
and went into the grain business. Since
that time he has added to his farm by
purchase, tract after tract, until bis
landed possessions cover an area of
1000 acres, 5000 acres of which are
in cultivation. His grain crop usually
amounted to 25o, 1000 centals. In 1879
he was the candidate of the New Con-
stitution party for Gov. but was defeat.
ed by G. 9. Perkins. He kept in his en-
ploy great number of men and always
treated them kindly. His death will
be regarded as public loss in Cali,
fcrnia. His book-keeper had been
drinking few days before the commits
sion of the horrible crime, and had
been discharged, which is supposed to
have been the cause of the murder.

The last few days it has been thaw-

Sunday the wind blew so hard that
the stage driver could not face it.
Snow drifted in the lanes filling all
East and West lanes full so that it
was impossible to go through them.
Fred Nodin arrived here few days
ago from Willow valley, and from him
we learn that horses are doing well,
but cattle, he thinks, will all die from
starvation.
Sheep and cattle are dying In this
valleyIvery fast, where feed is tolerably
plenty, bat very high, some stock men
paying as high as $40 per ton. If the
weather continues cold much longer the
loss Of sheep, cattle and horses will run
into the thousands. Men who were
rich last fall will be poor men in the
spring.
A snow slide in Antelope valley, 10
mi from here, buried four of Mr.. Cyrus
Prescotts children. The parents being
near by, dug the little fellows out, but
not until they were nearly suffocated
by the snow. es

which took day and night to get him
