Of shareholders in stock company has been
rendered by the Supreme Court Of California
in the case Of Samuel II. Harmon vs. Lucy

corporation, Harmon could no, get his judg
mcnl satisfied, and therefore began an action
10 recover the amount due him from the indi
yiduai shareholders Of the company, who had
not paid up their subscriptions. These sub
scriptiony were made prior TO the indebtedness,
to Harmon. The defendants demurrer to tn,

Court held that the Court below erred, and
reversed its decision, at the same time filing

There is no profession in which man stands
more suprcmely on his merits than in that of
journalism. In many others promotion is more
question oil influence, Of good fortune, OF OF
time, than OF actual working capacity. In
journalism, influence goes for little or nothing
unless there be on the part of the aspirant real
efficiency to perform the work that has to be
done. There never was greater competition in
the press than there is at the present day, and
that competition is more likely to become
keener than to diminish. l, is becoming more
and more question Of the survival of the
htteSt, and special emnence is ever more diff
cult to attain. The incompetent and inexpe-
neneed, therefore, must inevitably go to the
wall There are many men now occupying the
highest ranks Of the journalistic profession who
have risen from the lowest. As illustrating the
various stages of such promotion, it may not be
oui oil place to mention case in point. We
could name the editor Of one of the most power.
iul daily newspapers published in the United
Kingdom who began life as a lad on the
bo,,om-most rout OF the ladder in the printing
office; who by his own unaided industry and
perseverance, entered, through various stages OF
preferment, upon the work Of reporting, and
passed from one grade to another in that de-
partment, till, after wide experience Of prov
inoial and general work, he reached what is in
many respects inc most important spnete III
which that arduous calling is exercised-that
OF Parliamentary reporting; and who, through
out an extended experience in the Gallery OF
the House Of Commons, acquired knowledge
OF political affairs, Of the relations Of parties
and OF statesmen, and of the intricacies of Par
lmentary procedure which must have proved
invaluable to him in the subsequent period Of
his career. The remaining stages Of sub-edito-
nal and editorial work were duly passed
through, and his present position attained.
The majority Of our most successful journalists
are self-made men. The Press is every year
becoming greater power in the land; it is
already one of the greatest sources of civil
nation" and we might as soon try to get along
without steam, or railway, or the post office,
as without our newspapers. II we are to have
newspapers, we must have editors to direct
them, and the editors must march with or in
advance OF the time. There is, therefore, good
reason to hope that better things are in store
Tor the coming generations Of journalists thar
there have been for those that are gone, and
that on the newspaper Press the best talent,
the maturest judgment, and the most cultivated
taste will yet find congenial and appropriate
work.--Chambeys' Journal.

JPRECR AND MASSACRE At NEH
GUINEA,

The Sydney Herald gives the following account
Of the loss Of vessel near the Fly River, New
Guinea, furnished by Captain Pennefather:
On the arrival Of the Pearl at Murray Island on
2oth November, was informed by COCHIN,
teacher belonging to the London Missionary
Society, that on the 2oth October he visited
kewai, large village or collection Of villages,
at the mouth Of the Fly River, New Guinea.
The kewai men seized his boat and were going
to kill him, but he was saved through the
intercession Of some hampton Islanders, friends
OF the Kewai men he had with him. COCHIN
noticed amongst the natives articles Of European
clothing, also. wreckage. Through the Bamp-
ton Islanders he ascertained that vessel had
recently struck on shoal of the mouth Of the
Fly, and the crew, ~ in number, had been
killed by the kewai men and their heads cut
OH and distributed among the different villages.
kewai Is on the eastern side Of the Fly River,
about 20 miles from hampton Island, and very
densely populated by warlike race of skull.
hunters. In the hope Of rescuing any possible
survivors, sailed for the Fly accompanied by
some volunteers, as knew the Kewai men to
be very numerous and hostile. also had an
interpreter from hampton Island. We arrived
At kewai ON the 22nd November, and landed.
We found quantity Of wIeckage-ropes,
canvas, uonworks, and cabin fittings, painted
green. with polished cedar scuitles; but though
the villages were carefully searched we found
no papers to lead to the identification Of the
vessel. We were attaked several times by
kewai men, and one man OF our party was
wounded by an arrow. We consequently had
to lire in selfdefence. An old woman, found
In the village, confessed through the interpre-
ter, that all the crew were Killed and their
heads cut of. We burn, the villages and DIES.
uoyed the canoes. The houses were very
large, one measuring over 400 feet in length,
standing on piles 10 feet from the ground.
The wrecked vessel was thIee-masted
schooner OF about goo tons register. She was
sunk in two and half fathoms at low water,
about 10 miles from the eastern head Of the
Fly River. The vessels mastheads were
painted white, with gilt main trunk, and the
letters AGO cut OF branded in the heel Of the
main,opmast. The name Of the vessel could
not be seen, as il was under water, and a

The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1883-04-06
TEHsELY STATED.

The Register says that on the tariff
question it advocates a tariff for revenue
for the support of the Federal Govern
ment adjusted in its details with strict
reference to equality In the public bur
dens, and also with view incidentally
merely to foster and encourage home
productive industry SO far only as it
can be done without producing monop-
olies, or giving unjust advantages to
any.
This is the position OF the REGISTER
On the tariff question, and we inquire
for objections to it. OF course, those
who carry the frse-trade doctrine so far
as to require direct taxation to support
the Federal Government, would not
agree with us. And so also those who
make protection an essential object of
the tariff, whereby the many are taxed
for tae benefit of the few, would not
agree with us. In conclusion, We in
quire, when home productive industry
can be fostered and encouraged incident
ally just as well as not without crea-
ting monopolies, or giving unjust adyan-
tages to any, where is the objection to
iti
This is a brief, concise, clear and
candidIy uneeuiyocal statement Of the
Democratic theory of tariff.

KEIFEg.

This gentleman has been talking quite
freely to newspaper correspondents al
Washington. He says that Republican
success in Ohio will depend upon the
conduct of the legislature of that State
now in session.
The ex-speaker thinks If the legisla.
ture should not commit the blunder Of
thinking it can make all men perfectly
just and holy by legislative enactment,
then the Republican party will do very
we'll.
There is a growing belief that Keifer
either wants to be governor, or the
successor of Psndleton TO the United
States Senate. His criticisI1 upon the
dreaded conduct of the legislature on
the prohibition question is proof that
there will be lively effort on the part
of Tom. Young, Keifer and Sherman,
to control the Republican convention in
the interest of the anti-prohibitionists,
while Gov. Foster, Deacon Smith and
others, will attempt to control it in the
interest of prohibition.
The contest, looking at it with Dem
ocratic eyes, will be both interesting
and enjoyable, while Republicans will
look on with grave fears as to the
result.
The fight will be fraught with por-
tentcns results to that party, as the loss
of Ohio this fall, will be inevitably
followed by the loss Of the presidency
in 1884, which will be followed by the
loss of the patronage of the government
This would be final death blow to the
party, as every deliberate, thinking
man knows that that party can mol
survive the loss of public patronage and
public office.
