WHAT SAVED HAzEN.
The Movemcnt Begun q Year Ago 10
Get Rid OF am TncOmpctcnt
Official

Exchange.
1t has for some time been obvious says
a Washington special, that some I'M
known influence protected Cen Hazcn
in his position as chief signal officer.
More than year ago Secretary Lincoln
had determined to get rid of him, on the
ground of proven ncapacity a ground
which the country had come to recognize.
Hazen was placed in position almost
presicely similarto Che one which fur
nished the basis of the prosecution Of
Gen. Swain. To wit: failure 10 ask for n
court of inquiry or an investigation by a
military tribunal. It is known that
President Arthur. 80 he did subsequently,
in Swaims case, was about to order
such an inquiry, which would bo the
first step leading up to Hazen's trial and
possibly his dismissal, but the president
suddenly drew back and Hazer has been
safe ever since, This is explained by re-
calling the fact that Hazen is the son-in-
law of MIR. Washington Mclean, who is
the power behind the Cincinnati Enqui-
rer, paper of which MeClean's son is
the audacious proprietor. 1t is not ncces-
sary to partieularize how Mclean called
a halt or Arthur and thus secured for
Hazen. the son-in-law, the exemption he
has since enjoyed from the danger,
which was so imminent, of being Be-
prived of his present soft place, if not Of
his rank in the army.
Despite the fact that Hazendeserves 70
be sent to his regiment and the signal
service placed in competent hands, he
will not be molested so long as Arthur
can protect him. The present atmos-
phere of scandal recalls the subject and
the character of the reasons which, It Is
alleged. protect Hazen from all the accu-
mulated reasons for his removal,

1t is natural that when one sees his or her

should desire to have the engraving well exc

rarely the case, 1t is suspected the New York

to the presidency by arraying his so-styled
picture in rough wood-cut form before its

Hewitt is busy explaining why he called
on tie British Munster. The fact is that
Hewitt, if he occupied the position he pre-
tended to occupy in the O'Donneli affair,
had no busine e to call upon the Minister.
1t is certain that the minister telegraphed to
an agent Of his Government, Immediately
after seeing Hewitt, II az the resolution was
only buncombe and for political effect here,
and that the Congr' ssman who had intro

Hewitt give him to clearly so understand;
for he could have no object In telegraphing
falsely. His business was to ascertain Con-

Il would seem that it shou,d be unnsc aary
to remind any one Of the necessity nf cult,.
vating the orchard, and particularly the
young orchard But when We travel through
the ccuatry ard see where some man in tit
of right -mindednsss seized Old Time by the
forelock and planted email orchard only to
lose bis g,ip and leave the young things to
battle for life with the thousand and one
hindrances they have to contend against,
We are mere than reminded Of the proverb
that ''the constant dripping Of the water
wears away the rcck, and we cas only hope
to bring such men to a sense of their negli-
gence by constantly ringing it in their ears.
Il is IS essential that the young trees be
cultivated and nurtured into vigorous growth
ss any other plant or animal upon the farm.
1t is well understood, and needs no remark
in this connection, that unless the vegetable
garden is cultivated in its SEASON it were
better not planted-it is labor lost. What
is true of the garden is also equally true of
the orchard. In NO part Of America, per-
haps, tran in Oregon is negligence with the
orchard more noticeable, and yet We might
truthfully add that in no part Of the world
does nature respond with more liberal reward
for little assistance. The time has now
passed when we could satisfy ourselves with
the feeling that We lost little by neglecting
our fruit resources. We are now part of a
common universe, made 30 by railway coz
nection, which completed the tie, and We
have all the world for market, which We
may improve or reject, as We may elect.
Our fruit orchards will now be called upon
to supply vast domain which cannot for
years, if ever, produce its own fruit. 1t is
. true saying that no man is so poor as he
who has nothing to sell, and unless We i'm
prove our time and chances We shall surely
be left when the great train Of demand comes
past our door. Ii has not been so many years
ago but that men now living among Us
thought it would never pay to raise wheat
on largo scale. but as soon as it was found
that we had it to sell, buyers sought our
fields. until now wheat is as good a, gold in
rank. So it will be with fruit at no DIS
tant da:e. and he who improves the time
now will reap the reward that is surely in
store. ''ln time Of peace prepare for war.
Cultivate the orchards and bring tht nj up to
their highest state of productiveness. 80 that
when the time arrives your lamp may be
found well filed with oil. The orchard will
be fcuad a valuable adjunct to the farms
productions and may be made to contribute
gooily share toward the Oregon husband
mans ineome.-Famer and Daiymm.

An Interstate Commerce Bill.

Few subjects are of more Importance
to the American people than the rrgu-
lation of interstate commerce by con
gress, to prevent discrimination hy rail
r,ads, and there is hope that action viii
bs taken during this session to proGids a
remedy for the;glaring evils which now ex
Ist. Among other schemes that IN roduc. d
by Senator Wilson, OF Iowa, to establish
q board of interstate commerce, is most
generally approved and there is hope tLat
1t viii become law. The bli provides
that board of commissioners b. ap-
pointed by the president as a bureau Of
the department of the interior, the III

terms of two, tour, six, eight, aud ten
years respectively, the successors oi each

commissioners is to be experienced IN
law, one in civil engineering, one iii the
management of railways, one in the
agricultural industry and one in the
manufacturing industry, the salary of
each commissioner to be $1,000. The dut-
les of the board will be consideration and
investigation of all questions relaatlng to
Commerce between states, or between
the United States and foreign countries,

for the prohibition of discrimination Of
every kind whatsoever, for applying the
same principal charges to all persons an /
corporations alike, and for the preseT-
vation and enforcement Of the right Of
shippers to select lines and parts of lines

the law, it shall give the company notice
