return Of the census showing that ST50.000,.
90 are spent yearly in the United 5 tates
for intoxicating drinks, and adds: 'But

On Sunday night a week John
Sharpless, prominent and kind
hearted Quaker, who was given to
feeding every tramp that called at
his place, was beguiled to his barn by
an unknown colored man, murdered
and his pockets robbed. The muir
derer first csiAd at the house of G1r.
Sharpless, and stated that he had
broken certain piece of harness Of
a team that he was driving in car
rage, IL which were three ladies.
Sharpiess went with the murderer to
the barn to get straps to tie the bro
ken harness, while there the negro
murdered him and then returned to
the house and demanded money, but
he was frightened away. Two re-
wards of $500 each are offered for
the capture Il the murderer. The
Philadelphla Times in speaking of
the murder, says: The story OF the
murder of John Sharpless is pathetic
and horrible. The occurrence Is one
OF those that raise doubts IN even
the best discip ined mind whether 1t
is worth while to be charitable and
kind Here is a gentle old man dis,
turbed in the 4uiet Of his homo by
sn appeal fur help; he goes ont
into the storm in answer to the
cal and is struck down by the
brutal -nUI derer, paying for his good
hearted neighboriiness with his life.
1t is hard TO set a measure to the in.
dignation excited by such murder,
which outrages every humsn senti
ment.
We may as well acknowledge thai
the rule Of love and charity, which
the Society OF Friends has endeaEor.
ed to maintain, is very hard to ell.
force in this age. It is fact of com
mon observation that Delaware coun-
ty suffers more from the depredations
OF tramps than almost any other
county in the State, and the reason
is, beyond doubt, that in this rich
agricultural district, close by the city,
the Quaker farmers are too kind
hearted and hospitable to turn beg
gar from the door or call the law in
TO force against the dangerous yaga-
bonds who prey upon their bounty.

the tramp is deliberate enemy OF
social order and security and it is es
sentisl that he should be so regarded
and treated. His moral nature is
more likely to be reached by severity
than by kindness and the common
safety demands that he should be
dealt with sternly.

ROsEBURG REVIEW
) SATURDAY, FEBRUARY Il, 1885
The Legislature.

The legislature he's more than passed
It's meridian, and judging from what II
has already accomplished and the meas
ures, now pending before it, it would
be much better for the State if it never
had met. The preceding legislatures
have been bad enough. Two years ago
their time was occupied IN electing
United States Senator which no doubt
prevented much vicious legislation.
The present session is blessed with
many new men. bers come OF them
young and ambitious, and iii their de-
sire to distinguish themselves are liable
to do mischief which it will take years
to rectify, judging from some OF the
propositions which are now penlins be-
fore that august assembly. It's sur
prising to note the numerous PROPOSE
tions to dispose Of the public moneys
and pave che way for future burthens
upon our over taxed people. 1t is
with fear that we note the proposition
to establish Normal Schools the bull
warks of our civilization are sadly neg
lected. 1t does seem that there is a
job in each of these propositions. I'm
less these Normal Schools are general
and uniform throughout the state, 50
that all the children of the co.nmon-
wealth may share equally in their ad-
vantages there is no reason why the
public revenues should be charged with
tiseir maintenance and support. Let
the money which it is proposed to
waste on these institutions oe properly
expended on our public schools and the
state will make much more rapid adj
vancement. We note MANY PROPOSE
tions to change the Statute. Some
change and modification is no doubt
needed, but the great danger is thai
some of these changes may create worse
confusion in our procedure than they
are intended to remedy.

The Living Policy.

To the student OF Political Economy
it is apparent that the work of great
and necessary reform must commence
uuder the administration of President
Cleveland. Beyond the mere matter of
retrenchmsnt III expenses, lies the deep
question of Revenue reform. That our
present tariff laws are patchwork with
out system or justice has become evi-
dent to all, Counting the enormous
expense Of the Government, Including
interest on the national debt greate.l
revenue is collected by nearly $780,
100000 annually than is neces saly.
Under President Grover Cleveland
we hope and expect that large num-
Der of useless offices will be abolished,
expenses variously reduced, and the
science Of government reduced to a
commonsense business plan. Our pres
ent high protective tariff must go. Rev
enue must be collected SIMPLY for the
purpose of carving on the government.
The shipping interest of the country
must be fostered by the good old fash
ioned Democratic laws which gave
greater advantage to our own ships
than to those of foreign powers. Then
trade with the whole world must be
made as free and unrestricted as posi-.
bic. America would blossom like the
rose and become the great workshop ot
the world. Our gold, silver, iron and
other mines would be developed anc
opened; our manufactures could fine
relief from over stocked markets, oul
ships would sail on every sea, our az
ricultural interest would thrive, every
thing woald be lovely, the east would
be coYered with factories, the west rlcl
in its oEen plains, the Pacific Coas
great in it's mines, agriculture and stool
Roseburg would boom, the REvIEN
would become daily. Hurrah TO
Cleveland and Refom.

Editorial correspondence.


The following was received from our
chief to late for publication last week.
The danger in the Legislature sesms
to be too many bills introduced to give
to each one anything like the attention
thought to have previous to the third
reading. A bill passed the house to-day
whieh is likely to vitiate the mortgage
tax law to a considerable extent. 1t
may not pass the senate. To-day ".
D. Hare of Washington county made
quite a speech, and quite to oar liking
too, on the bill pending in the senate
to appropriate $4,000 to the State
University for buildings. His PROPOSE
ton was, that as rule, capital is not
taxed, and that tho middle classes alone
are the tax-producing element in our
commonwealth, and that they are gen
efally unable to avail themselves Of
these higher state schools, and hence
the poor are taxed to educate the rich.
He ayers the principle is wrong and in
consistent With the genius of our Amer
icaf politv, and insists that these ssaee
appropriations be abated. Senatorial
honors have not yet wreathel the brow,
Of any one of the many, who aspire to
relieve the Hon. Dir. Slater of respon-
sibilities at Washington. Mr.. Hirsch

but the to-day's vote was hard to inter

The law of corporation will in the
near future be the great question to be
solved. The combinations of capital
into large sums and used for one object
is the spirit of this age. That money
so used can be the means of extortlon
from the people is the foundation for
law demanding that capital SO combined
is the servant and not the master Of
the people. This is the simple justice
. the people demand and the time is fast
approaching when the corporations will
, discover that their Interests and the In
stterests of the people are the same.

to be anchored at distance of 200
miles from each other in straight line
each riding at "a mushroom anchor
