Along in the summer they
reduced the price to 27Hc.
Late in December they re-

these goods have never been

The Oregon Legislature, which recently
adjourned, did every thing that the temper
ance people asked. The measures passed are:
Q.) An amendment to the constitution of the
State, to be submitted to the people, pro-
hibiting the importation, manufacture, or
sale Of intoxicating liquors. (2.) A local option
law with stringent provisions, giving each
precinct in the State the right to prohibit the
sale of liquors in its own bounds. (3.) A law

The Oregon Legislature was Republican.
Next year. unless the Republican party will
indorse prohibition, the Temperance men
will go off by themselves, and do all they pos
sibly can to throw the government into the
hands of the free-whisky Democratic party,
and will swear that there is no difference be-
tween the parties.

largely signed by the members, pledging that
if q special session should be called it should
not last longer than two weeks. To carry out
this pledge, or at least to giveit form and sub
stance, resolution was introduced yesterday
into the House to adjourn after fifteen days
This was promptly laid upon the table by a
decided majority, the inference being
that the members proposed, now that they
had good thing, to save it, and, black cat in
hand, skin the animal to the tail. Taking the
whole spirit of the Democratic majority of the
Legislature into account, it may be taken for
granted that they will sit through the entire
forty days. They are members of the Legis-
lature for revenue only.

MosT of the Democratic candidates for Con
tween the pa:

MOST of the Democratic candidates for Con-
gress who have been defeated any time within
the past twenty five years, are in Washington
for the purpose of getting Office. They are
firm in the conviction that their rejection by
the people of their districts entities them to
the special consideration of the President. All
other candidates are of the opinion that the
defeated gentlemen have no just claims; but
that, on the contrary, their failures should
have taught them that their services were not
wanted. Should Mr. Cleveland take the latter
and not unreasonable view of the matter, he
will cause many ex-congressional and would be
congressional hearts to ache.

THE LITTLE MEN.

If humanity Graves one thing above
another it is the boon Of being delivered from
the snarling man, the little, the very little
fellow, who is always unhappy, always COM
planning They are to be found at the bottom
of society everywhere-not necessarily always
at the bottom Of the worst kinds of society,"
but under the feet of and in the way of all
grades of society. Occasionally some of them
snarl their way into Office, though fortu-
nately their contemplate qualities gener-
ally keep them in the background
There are a few specimens of this
kind of small men in the sitting State Legis-
lature, spitefully grumbling because they are
no bigger than they are, and chatting under
the consciousness of deserved contempt. Oc-
casionally specimens Of this class aspire to the
speakership or to the craftsmanship of certain
important committees and, because disap-
pointed in their ill-advised ambition, grow
sourer, more vindictive, and even more con-
temptible than before. They want to make a
show in the papers, but the showing fails to
please them because it is truthful showing.
The mental dyspeptic increases in exactly
the same ratio that the contempt of the pub
lie increases. Such men, unconscious of
their insignifcarce, can't understand why they
should be subjected to criticism. The failure
to fatter them over speeches made up of
WORKOUT platitudes or incoherent nothings, is
accepted as challenge, and the opportunity
no sooner presents itself than they take adj
vantage of it to confirm their title to asininity.
In free country like this, only bigminded
men can long maintain themselves before the
public. The press is a great sitter, and
the small fry are first to fall through
the wires and disappear from sight.
Heaven help the man who is afraid Of the
newspapers. 1t is the best proof that he
should be. This world owes much to fearless,
conscientious reporters, who, seeing the truth,
are not afraid TO publish it. They are the
agents of the new reformation separating the
wheat from the chaff in way that alarms
those consciously inferior. The work will 60
on, year after year, long after the present gen
Grafton of partisan dwarfs are forgotten. The
good will be exalted, and the worthless exposed.
