The London Times rejoices great
u over the reduction in the Ameri-
can tariff rates and says it is the pre-
cursor of free trade, which it expects
to see realized by the early accession
of the Democrats to power. In onr
opinion, says the Helena Herald the
day is far'dietant when any combi-
nation between the British manufac-
turers and the Democratic party will
introduce free trade into the United
States. 1t may possibly happen that
the Irish voters of this country will
not prove such reliable supporters of
the Democratic party, when they
discover that they are playing into
the hands of their oppressors all the
time they support a free trade party
and policy. We propose to- consult
the interests of our own manufactur-
ers;;rather than those of England.

In progressive rheumatism. it is
the smaller joints of the upper ex-
tremities-generally of the fingers
that are first attacked. In time the
disease extends to other and larger
joints, sometimes even to those of the
spine. In the first stage there are
pain, redness, heat and swelling of
the affected joints, and often spas
modic contraction of the neighbor-
ing muscles, causing a permanent
distortion. In the second stage,
changes take place within the joint,
resulting in the formation of chalk
like excrescences, the loss of the
cartilage which lines the inner sur
face, and rendering the end of the
bone hard like ivory.

being prosecuted day and night, nearly 20
hands being employed.
Bybee & Co., have an abundance OF water
at their Waldo precinct and expects to

that Henry Willard has issued or
ders to Immediately commence ex-

Corvallis, to connect with the cas-,
side road at Junction, distance of
twenty-five miles. The work will
be comparatively easy. There are
two rivers to bridge-the Mary's and
the Long Tom, and considerable
trestle will have to be built across
the low lands between Monroe and
Junction. For about twenty miles
the road will run through a. rich
agricultural region. 1t is understood
that the link will be finished this
year.

THK SOUL Is lNDEPENDENT OF TIE BODY.
When we close our short careers,
some questions that we debate as
matters of high philosophy will be
personal to you and to me. As We
lie where Webster lay, face to face
With eternity, and its breath is on
our cheeks, there will come to us, as
it cannot come now, the query
whether the relation of our souls to
our bodies is that of harmony to a
harp, or of the harper to the harp.
The time is not distant when it will
be worth something to us to remem-
Der that they who walk late on the
deck of the.'Santa Marla' have seen
a light rise and fall ahead of us. The
externalitY and independence: of the
soul in relation to- the body are
known now under the microscope
and eca!pel better than ever before
in the history of our race. Exact
science, in the name Of the law of
causation. breathes already thro' her
IRON lips whisper, to which, as it
grows louder, the blood of the ages
will leap with new Inspiration. Be
fore that iron whisper all objections
to immortality are shattered. If, in
the name of physiology, we remove
all objections, you will hear your
W Webster when he comes to you and
says that Teacher, attested by the
ages as sent with supreme divine
mission, brought life and immortality
to light. There is no darkness that
can quench the illumination which
now rises on the world. No ascend
ing fog from the shadows of material
Ism can put out the sun of axiomatic
truth. Ay, my friends, in the oozy
depths of the pools, where the rep
tiles lie among the reeds in the
marshes of materialism,- there arises
a vapor, which So it ascends higher,
that sun will radiate, will stream
through with his slant javeIins of
scientific clearness, until this very
matter which we have dreaded to
investigate shall taxa on all the
glories Of the morning, and become,
by reflected light, the bridal couch
OF new Day in afuture civilization.

CITY OFFICERS.

| Although the city officers absorb
considerable portion and perhaps
quite one-half of the city revenue
each year, in order to have a. city
government it is necessary to have
officers, and that they be paid. The
| night. watch is the most important in
guarding the interests of the city and
people, and as his work is done dur
ing the night, which requires all OF
his time, it is generally conceded that
his pay is not too high. The mar
shal's Office is one which, TO make q
good officer, he can not do much
else, and in arresting all kinds of
roughs of creation he takes many
chances OF personal danger, and it is
probable that bis fees are not too
high, but when the Council investi-
gate proper adjustment of Record
er's fees it would be we'll also for
them to ascertain how much money
has been paid for marshal's services
during the last five or six years.
The next in order is the Recorders
office, which seems to be a popular
office in the towns OF Oregon; yet
many towns in the United States of
much greater pretentions than most
Oregon towns, believing 10 as small
expense as possible, do away with
the position of Recorder, as we have
it. To such cases the mayor passes
upon the criminal conduct of those
brought before him and holds the
city court. The Recorders office in
our city government in one particu-
lar is like the fifth wheel to wagon;
1t draws big pay and there are but
little services to perform. During
year before last, while MIR. Sawtell
was Recorder, he acknowledges that
the Office paid him abou: eleven hun
dred dollars. During the last nine
years, from time to> time, we have
had il from she mouths, of different
Recorders during that time that the
Office had paid them some seven,
some eight hundred dollars, &c
Taking for granted that it generally
pays seven or eight hundred dollars
per annum this amount is more than
twice as much as the work done is
worth. 1t is an Office that does not
in any way materially interfere with
any other business that such official
might be following. For instance,
any merchant, mechanic or other
business man in the town could we'll
afford to occupy the position of Re
corder and get three hundred dollars
for the services required, and it
would pay hlm largely and would
not materially interfere with his 9TH
ar business. We are aware that we
have few persons who are in hopes
hat they may be able TO fatten on
The Recorders Office, who are oppos-
ed TO this view. But about tax pay
ng time as We have to 60 down in
Dur britches pocket for considerable
amount to help pay for the Recor-
Ter Emusic, for one we SHALL insist
hat we don't want to employ such |
IN officer at such a price.
