1t is now stated positively by good
authorities that good deal of corn will
be used for fuel in Nebraska the coming
winter. With corn at 1Sc. per bushel
it is in many cases as economical to
burn it as to carry it to the railroad
station and bring back coal, and corn
has sold in that state this fall as low as
lac. Much, of course, depends on the
nearness of the farmer to market and
his distance from the coal supply.

The change of administration implies

The change of administration implies
no change of government. The govern
ment is fixed upon immutable laws,
known to and recognized of all men.
Those laws cannot be changed in day
they cannot be changed at all by the
President of the United States. They
can be changed only by the act of both
branches of the National Legislature
and the approval of the President.
They are simply administered or ex-
ecuted under solemn oath of Office.

will show that the state has q popula-

reach if placed lengthwise. Whether
round the earth or up to the sun, or to

d /. The Committee appointed to consi-
der and report on the School Ordinance
having proposed as an amendment to
strike out Ascension Day, the 25th of
July and the 25th of October from the
list Of free days, so far as the Country
Schools were concerned, objections
were raised in several quarters, during
the discussion in the Councils Meeting
OF the goth Novbr. 1888, against fixing
by Ordinance free days for the town
schools which were not at the same
time free days for the country schools,
particularly when the free days in
question were recognized as general
holidays, which was presumed to be
the case with the 3 days above men
toned.
The reason for proposing to strike
out these days from among the free
days is, as stated in the Committees
Report, that they have never before
been free days for the Country Schools.
1t was feared that if they should now
be established as free days it would
lead to the whole labouring population
following the example set by the

halt or those pr0ponentS-Of whom one

C0uncIl-he would beg to recommend that
this Draft be adopted at the same time
he would add that it is not the intention
of the proponents to withdraw their draft
until the present Draft SLall have been
adopted in both Councils. While he re.
GREETED to hear fl ION His Excellency that
the Government cannot support the pro-
posed measure unless it be adopted for
both communities, he would, however.
beg to express the hope, that the ques-
ton of fUrthering the private Draft for this
community alone will come under renewed
consideration, in the event of this draft not
being passed in common for both commune
ties. He had only one point more to add {:
During the discussions last year on tie
private draft. it was Justly remarked by
the then acting President that it would 9
in accordance with the form usually fol-
lowed in extending laws of the Mother
country to the colony, that the Draft
should contain an Introductory clause our
p rting that the Draft has for it's object
to extend The law III question to the colo
ny; as the present Draft contains no such
clause, he would suggest to the Govern
mrnt to introduce an amendment to that
effect.
No one requested the word further.

PUBLIC sentiment on the tariff ques-
tion is not all ore way i'll the projected
State of Penns3 lvania. At a meeting of
the Democratic and independent editors
a: Harrisburg, May 29th, over thirty
journals were represented. A revenue
reform press association was formed
and constitution adopted containing
the following section: "To prepare and
publish such facts concerning the pres
ent war tariff taxes as will tend to a
better general understanding Of their
monopollstic and other oppressive fea-
tares, with a view to their ultimate re-
duction to a revenue basis" The feel
ing among those present was that the
present tariff is grievous burden upon
the people; that reduction is seriously
needed for the relief of the working
men, the manufacturer and the people
generally, and hat the Democratic ma
tional convention should pronounce, not
for absolute free trade, but for tariff
reduction and REFORM Standard.

The Next Senator.

The Oregon Videt.e published at Sa-
lem gays
According to the returns now in, the
Republicans will have from 6 to II
majority on joint ballot in the next leg
lslature; and if they will all submit to
the caucus Republican machine mo
nopoly Senator. would be the result. A
caucus of all the Republicans would
send Sol. Hirsch to the United States
Senate For these reasons Hirsch has
the organization of the party in his con-
troll. Joe Simon, a brother Jew, is
Chairman of the State Central Commit
tee and State Senator fIom Multnomah.
Hirsch is rich and perfectly unscrupu-
lous as to buying up votes. Other can
didates would be restrained by their
conscience from corrupting the legisla-
ture, but Hirsch has no such thing as
a conscience to bother him. He has
this great advantage over honest men
in dealing with venal members of the
legislature Besides this, candidates
like Judge Williams, Governor Gibbs,
Judge Boise, Carey Johnson, w. D.
Hare, Lair Hill, Jno. F. Caples, and
Governor Nj oody have no money, and
being poor they must take back seat
SO that this rich man may take "the
highest seat in the synagogue"
To beat Hirsch, these other candi-
dates must keep their friends out Of
any senatorial caucus. And such men
as Senator Davenport, Voorhees,, Wal
do, Lee, Warren, Hare and such repre-
sentatives as Ready, Gibson and Allen
must again assert their independence
Of Portland ring dictation and Portland
money corruption, and smash the eau
Gus
Hirsch is large owner in Willard
railroad stocks, and if he was in the
United States Senate would stand in
with Do!ph or the side Of the rail
roads and all other monopolies. Be
sides that, the sympathy of Mr..
Hirsch is all with the moneyed class.
This is the prediction of his race ever
since Christ scourgel the money
changers out Of the temple. The peo-
pie don't want any Hirsch in the
United States Senate, and the opposi-
tion to him cannot be organized u day
| too soon.

J. N. SIGLIN, Joint senator frem Coos

J. M. SIGLIN, joint senator from Coos
and Curry counties, has been reelected
over A. Nasburg, rhe Republican can
didate. We, in common with many
Others, censlired the action Of Mr. Sig
lin in vsting for J. II. Mitchell for the
United States senate, and believe yet
that it was not che proper thing for a
Democrat to do, to vote for a Republi-
can for that Office. Mr.. Siglin, at the
time claimed that in doing so he was
carrying ont the will and wishes Of the
people of his district. His election
in Republican district over stalwart
Republican, must be gratifying to Mr.
Siglin and taken as vindication Of his
course in the legislature, must be more
than gratifying. Since the legislature
is again Republican, if Mr.. siglin can
succeed IN again bringing his favolite
to the front and by that means defeat
Sol. Hirsh fer that place, it will prove
a godsend for Oregon.

The Republicans have nominated.
says an exchange, the monopoly mill
ionaire, James &. Blaine, for the presi-
dency, on platform that is, all in all,
a monopoly platform, and altogether on
the side of the bondholders, capitalists
and monopoly manufacturers. There
is nothing at all in it, but the Anti
Chinese plank. In everything else it is
all on the side of the rich man anu
against the poor mann. This is Blaine's
platform. He IS cheek-by-jowl with
the railroad rings and moncpolles, and
they promised him millions of dollars
for election purposes, and he is their
man.

Blaine's Boom.

Since the Repu blican convention has
adjourned and Blaine has been nomi-
mated and the whoop and hurrah has
died out and the tattooed man has taken
the place of the plumed knight, Repub-
lican politicians and Republican jour
nails find it an uphill business booming
their candidates.
1t is ever SO with hired popularity.
When boom without any foundation
OF substance on which to stand reaches
it's zenith, it falls like wet blanket
and casts damper on the hopes it was
calculated to inspire. This is fully ex-
emplifed in the case of the recent nom
nations. Blaine, who was known only
as a politician and a demagogue of the
worst type, was doomed by the place
hunters these jackalls in search of the
spoils, the outs who wanted in, whose
keen scent naturally led them to him
who is the fit representative of the
spoils system, as the only sure founda-
ton on which to build their hopes for
place ard spolls.
This was the element and spirit
which captured the Chicago convention.
Dorsey, Platt, Robinson, and Powell
Clayton belong to the class of politi
clans thrown to the surface in the tu-
mutt Of the convention. These are the
kind Of politicians who will fill the
offices and manage the affairs of the
government, in the event of Blaine's
election. The star-route thieves of the
fraudulent Hayes administration, and
the whisky crooks of the old Grant
ring, will again come to the front and
occupy the places Of trust and profit.
The safety of our country demands that
all good citizens, irrespective Of party,
raise in their might and rescue the
country from such calamity.

THERE is much consistency in those
Republican journals which are now ad-
vislng the boycotting of Harper's
Weekly on account Of the known op-
position of that journal to Blaine. 1t
will be remembered that only short
tine ago these same sycophant Journals
lauded, not only Harper's Weekly, but
also Mast, its great artist, when the
paper cartooned Tilden and other DEM
ocratic statesmen. But now it. is all
wrong to caricature Republican can
didate. Consistency thou art jewel.

THERE are more self-sacrifcing patr;-

mess and serve the country as presi-

The opposition to Blaine in the Repub-
lican party has brought to the surface
many aspirants in the Democratic
ranks, who otherwise would not be
heard OF. Among so many candidates
the convention cannot do otherwise
than make MS good selection.
