His coat had been used as a looking glass
for many summers, and his linen had not had
the pleasure of being introduced to a China
man for weary weeks, but his ante-bcllum
hat sat iauntily on his struggling locks, and
there was a social gleam in his eyes that,de-
noted genial disposition and willingness
to make acquaintances. He went out on the
platform with the driver, and gazed be-
nignantly upon the magnificent equine who
was laboring along his cobble paved path of
existence. The driver turned around, looked
in the box, and remarked, "Wots that ere
yaller thing yer put In the boxW
why, my dear fellow, don't you know what
that is?" inquired the passenger commisor-
atingly; why that article which you allude
to as yeller thing is pulmonary revolution
ist. That little Insignificant thing, sir, is the
mighty destroyer which will eradicate the
seeds of consumption from the bosom Of hui
manity. 1t is the lozenge of hoarpauele-
camhound icthuria anthropomorphous."
But" began tho driver with scowl.'
"Ah, sir, / know what you would say"
interrupted the genial man. You would
say that the fences are pastered with
advertisements of cure-alls and that the
shelves of pharmacies groan beneath burdens
of quack medicines. IT'S true, my friend, tits
true. Tho art Of Esculapeus has indeed de-
Perforated; but, sir, the revivifcation of the
benificent and soothing methods of the glort-
Gus Greek has been accomplished. That's
all right" again began the driver. but tho
voluble passenger again interrupted him.
accomplished, said. Yes, sir; and that
little octagonal lozenge is the essence of tho
new life. Look, my dear friend, at the
frightful inroads of death upon the worlds
population. A human being dies every sec
ond. Think of it, sir; think of it And
most of them die of consumption, OF phthisis
pulmonalis of bronchitis and that terrible
disease, Group. The lozenge of hoarpanele-
camhound icthuria anthropomorphou will
change all this. The green hills will TEEN
with busy farmers, the boundaries of the
cities will be pushed outward by the count
less thousands. And, sir, every one will be
plump and healty--every one"
"But doggone it," yelled the driver, that
ere things er lozengor, and wot VOW wanter
put in ther box is er nickl. That don't pay
| no fare"
"Whatl" calculated the savior, "no fare.
Misguided man, do you mean to tell me that
this monopolous tramway has no feeling for
the cause of science; that IL would grind the
lucre from one whose discovery will increase
its business q thousand fold?"
"Thets crbout ther, size Nv 1t. FL cents or
git off," answered the stony hearted car
steerer.
"Well, well" said the scientist, as he
climbed over the dashboard; "the death day
of monopolies is sure to come and when IL
does" he continued, rs he reached the ground
and the car moved on, / will send you your
five cents, my blooming jockey, with seven
inch hawser tied to it," and unmindful of the
black scowls of the driver he walked up the
cross street ho had desired to reach.

The OREGON PIONEERS.

Newark Evening Nezos on the Ore
gon Pioneers makes the following ap-
propriate comment: "Tne 200 Ore
gon pioneers, the youngest of them a
settler of 1854, who have just ar
rived in New York on an excursion,
could tell some wonderful stories of
progress, heroism and trial. Turning
their faces towards the setting sun in
the days when The star of empire shone
but very di.nly in the west, they have
lived 10 see sra,ely cities grow up
wLere they corralled their wagon
nains on a pathiess prairie, to see
railroad uacks along their old trail,
ait and culture where they fought
with painted savages, and pooulous
industry where they found a wider
ness. More honor should be paid to
them than to naughty lord or bewigged
justice from across the Atlantic. They
are the men who have planted new
stars in the flag, sown the seeds of
civilization, refinement and liberty,
and watched and guarded their work
ill the wastes blossomed. Not know
ing, perhaps, the magnitude of their
work through danger, priyation and
discomfort, they toiled on, and the
whole land has shared in their reward.

| DEMOCRATIC JOLLIFICATiON--wH
THEIR SUCCESS IN OHIO LEADS TO-

Must we turn back the hands of the
clock? At the Democratic jollifcs
ton meeting at Hamilton, Ohio, on
Saturday night, says the Cincinnati
Gazette, one of the orators gloried in
the fact that his first vote was cast for
Vallandigham; that he had contin-
ed to vote for him, and that he was
glorihed Democratic saint. These
utterances brought forth defening ap-
plause from the crowd. Since Val
landigham is thus resurrected by his
admirers we may be permitted to say
that his teason, which was in the rear,
cost the Government of the United
States millions of money and rive-s
of blood. He belonged in the Sou b.
ern Confederacy, but piled his voca-
ton at the North, and only crossed
the line to join his rebel friends when
forced to do so. But now, in this
year 1883, eighteen years after the
close of the war, this man is held up
in a Democratic meeting in the State
of Ohio as a model statesman and
patriot. Are the people of Ohio who
sustained the Government in lis strug-
gle for life, prepared to turn back the
hands of the clock If Vallandigham
was patriot, then every soldier who
fought for the Union, and every citizen
who supported the war, was muir
derer Is this what Dem ocratic vic
tories mean? Shall the loyal men of
the country be forced to bow to those
who canonize such as Vallandigham !?
Is Jeff. Davis to be exalted, while the
memory of Abraham Lincoln and the
dead Union soldiers is to be spit
upon ? IfVallandigham was patriot,
Lincoln was traitor.

SCARLET FEVER EASILY COMMUNICATED.

sCAGLET FEVER EASILY COMM NICATED.
The scarlet fever in very malig-
ilant form seems to be raging in differ
ent paris of Oregon with great fatality.
1t has been in Polk county, Linn
coun,y, and now in different pals of
Lane county and at Monroe in this
county, both young and aged are dy-
ing almost as rapidly as they take ii.
1t seems to be as contaa ious as small
pox, yellow fever OF cholera ever was
and attended with almost as fatal re-
suits. A young lady died last spring
at Eugene City at the residence of
Prof. Johnson where she had been
boarding while going to school; her
clothes were put in her trunk and sent
10 her fathers house near Goshen,
Lane county, and only a short time
ago the trunk was opened and some
of the clothing taken; her brother
| about Il years old took 1t and died,
in a few days her father and two grand
children stopping at the house also
died, the several remaining ones of the
family were also very low with it. This
dread disease can be communicated
through clothing for months alter
wards, and YET the majority of people
are entirely blind to the danger OF
communicating it and go back and
forth from one town and community
with but little or no care to prevent
communicating it. The probability is
that the citizens of Corvallis can ex.
pect at any moment to hear of its
breaking out among us. At Eugene
it is SO bad that all schools and
churches have been closed to prevent
It's spreading. They close the door a.
it were after the horse is Out, and like
Corvallis will no doubt do, Eugene
probably did not take any steps &c
prevent the disease from being carried
there.

THE NATIONAL DEBT AS VIEWED BY THE
CINCINNATI GAZETTE

CINCINNATI GAZETTE.
There was a time when it was
thought it would be difficult to carry
the National debt. There are Dem
ocrats living, and at the front to-day
in their party, who predicted that the
bonds issued to provide funds to carry
on the war for the Union would not
be worth the paper on which they
were printed. The rate of interest at
that time was as high as seven and
tkree-tenths per cent, and not lower
than six per cent. Since that time
the Government credit has advanced
ill now it is calling in its three-per-
cent bonds, and disturbing the finance
of the country thereby as much as it
did formerly by increasing the debt.
The banking system of the country,
which is the best we have ever had,
better than we may expect if it should
be overthrown, and better than any
country possesses, if we may except
the Bank of England, rests upon ma
tional bonds. If these should be
withdrawn it would be necessary to
provide a substitute, or change the
system. Not only the National banks,
but savings banks and trust COM
panies rest. largely upon Government
securities. The disappearance of the
latter would cripple the former.
The emergency has brought out
many suggestions, and one of the most
absurd is the proposition to import
foreign securities to take the place of
National bonds.
How do we pay our debta By
taxing the people. 1t is proposed to
levy taxes upon the industries of the
country to pay a debt that can be
carried at two-and-a-half or three per
cent, and import foreign securities,
sending our coin abroad to pay for
them, to serve the purpose of a basis
for National banking, and as security
for trust companies. And it is to this
the craze for paying off the National
debt has come.
Men engaged in the industries of
this country are large borrowers of
) money, and they pay for its use an
average of six or seven per cent, and
these industries are taxed to pay debt
that nobody wants to collect, and that
; can be carried at two and one-half
, per cent. The Government might
issue consol bearing two and one
} half per cent. that would float at par,
and that would serve the purpose for
which the National bonds are now
. held. If the revenue is so great that
there is surplus that must be applied
!: to the payment of the debt, it could
easily be reduced by knocking off the
| burdens that are borne by our indus
tries. This might not suit dema-
| gogues, but it would be the most SEN
r sible plan. If the Government can
: meet its expenses under economical
L management without danger, dispen-
: sing with the taxes collected under
= internal revenue laws, the latter should
: be abolished. That would be far bet
S ter policy than taxing the people who
Y borrow money at six and seven pei
=, cent to anticipate a debt that can be
/ carried at two and a half and three
S per cent, not only without injury to
: ,be country, but with a very decided
: advantage.

President Arthur has decided that
he will not appoint any more non
residents of Territories as governor
of such Territory, but in all cases will
make his appointments from the res
idents of the Territory to which he
appoints governor. This is wise
resolve and will tend in a great mea-
sure TO do away with carpetbag ap-
po:ntments and the encouraging of a
trade of goodfornothing professional
politicians whose lives are spent in
seeking political appointments.
