There IS an item going "the rounds
of the press" disparagingly of the
Northwestern Fur Company and Hud-
son Bay company, in contradiction to
an item which appeared in the columns
of the TINES -MoUNTAINEER, relative
to the death of Mr.. Alexander Nc
lavish, some weeks since. 1t is true
by stroke of business policy these
companies outwitted the Yankees in
the northwest, but it is also fact that
they were the pioneers in showing to
the civilized world the Importance of
this portion of the United States, and
if they had not paved the way for the
advance of Anglo. Saxon civilization,
the lamented Rev. Marcus Whitman
would not have crossed the continent
in the dead of winter to save Oregon
to the nation. The principal
factors of these companies were hardy
Scotchmar-.he McDougals, the Nc
Donalds, the McTavishes, and the
McKays-men of indomitable perse-
verance and strict integrity of charac-
acter. We are not of Scotch decent,
but we cannot fail to give credit to
whom credit is due. In their dealings
with the Indians they were honest and
faithful to all promises, and, as a con-
sequence, never had any trouble with
the aboriginees. In many instances,
by their bene VIOLENT interference they
saved the infant settlements from
frightful massacres. If the Americans
Lad followed the plans adopted bv
these honest Scotchmen, the history of
Oregon and Washington would not
have been blotted by the terrible
murders and assassinations which now
mark its pages. Oregonians should
not be ungrateful, and should remem-
Der the kind acts Of DR.. Mclaughlin,
chief factor OF the Hudson Bay Co. at
Vancouver, Who by unselfsh benevo-
lence, saved many pioneer families
from actual starvation. The settle
ment of the northwest was simply a
contest between Scotch sagacity and
Yankee ingenuity, and if our country
men were worsted, we should not heap
;alumny upon those who now lie
buried in our soil, and who made it
possible for white men to live in what
s now the most progressive portion of
he union.

Yesterday was a red letter dav f

Yesterday was red letter day for
Washington. A telegram was received
stating that the president had issued
his proclamation admitting the new
state into the union, and the news was
received with general rejoicing. Flags
were displayed, cannons doomed and
the best talent of the new common
wealth addressed their fellow citizens.
The induction into the union will al
ways be grand event in the history
of the state; but with these new habil-
iments which she has donned she has
also assumed new and weighty resron-
sibilities. She comes into the slsLeI-
hood of states with cheering prospects
for the future. A rich and highly
favored country, possessed of large
and increasing population, with the
development of her resources she may
expect to take a commanding position
in the great northwest. Her first vote
cast was largely Republican, and it
may be expected that she will always
be found in the ranks of the party
whose policy is best adopted to her in
.erests.

1t is almost impossible to talk with
Democrat bnt that h, will consider
the increase in the Dem ,cratic vote in
Ohio and Iowa due to the doctrine of
free trade. Partisans entirely overlook
the local causes, and say the result
was produced by the disafection of the
people towards the present policy of
the Republican party. If such Is the
fact, then what is the reason that
these states gave such large Republi-
can me-. a..orities at the last presidential
election when the question of protec-
ton free trade was directly in
issue2 The cold, ice-clad facts are,
that both Ohio and Iowa are strongly
when national issues are
before the people, but when nothing
but local questions are to he decided,
either party may be winner in ths
contest.

Prince Murat, one of those Euro

Prince Murat, one of those Euro
pean fortune-hunters, about whom one
reads SO many paragraphs in the pa
pers, wanted to marry rich Ameri-
can heires, but she would only allow
him $4,000 a year for expenses, and
he became angry and broke the en-
gagement. The American people
should be proud of such young lady,
as she somevha. redeems the charac-
ter of the women of the nation from
being title-seekers. If Miss Hunt
ington had displayed an equal amount
of good sense, a German profigate
prince would not now be living in
clover upon the large fortune accumu-
lated in this republic, and brought
him by his wife.

The measure which we advocated
some time since of convention of as
SCISSORS is very important, and should
receive immediate attention. There
is necessity of an equslized assess
ment, and this can only he accom-
plished by a meeting of the officials
whose business it is to attend to this
matter. We hope the assessors of
Oregon will rightly understand this
subject and will allow no delay in tsk-
ing action. If taxes were equal in all
counties there could be no complaint,
and their collection would be much
easier,

Geronimo the murderous old Apache,

the same kind of Christian that Judas

teachers, or artistic, pillars in the
church, and efforts at converting them
are generally waste of precious time.

The Democratic papers are not
through with their jubilatlons over
the victory in Ohio, and the editorial
columns of every Bourbon exchange
are still crowded with civilizations over
the recent election. However, strange
it may appear to those unacquainted
with the facts, it is nevertheless true
that the Democracy has never won a
victory for the past quarter of q CEN
tury on purely partisan issues. The
only president the party has elect
ed since 1856, was in 1884, and then
Mr.. Cleveland was elevated to the ex.
ecutive chair on civil service refoi n 4,
by aid of mugwump Republicans
He proved untrue to his trust in every
particular, and in the following cam
paign the party met a well-meriteo
defeat at the polls. The late victory
III OulO was lOG d OcIuUCTdtlC tlCGUEy-
but a defeat of the several ''isms"
which clustered in and around the Re-
publican party. Prohibition in Iowa
nearly caused the defeat of the Re-
publicans. not because the people be-
lieved in Democratic principles, but
for the reason that the best interest of
the commonwealth were not considered
in harmony with the inhibition of the
liquor traffic. In every instance, for
the past quarter of a century in which
the two parties-un.rammelled by
outside alliances-bave come before
the people for their suffrages, the De-
mocracy has met crushing defeat.
The past record of the party does not
recommend it to the patriotism of the
American people, and its present stand
upon the living issues of the day does
not commend it to those who have the
best interests of the nation at heart.

However strong the pretense OF
Democrats may be of loyalty to the
government they will attempt to cover
by every subterfuge possible the rec
ord of he party in the past. We are
acquainted with Democrats today,
who were camping in the swamps be-
fore Richmond when the national con-
vention of their party at Chicago re-
solved that the "war was a failure"
who will defend that action. This
may appear strange; but the whole
secret is that Democracy IS sort Of
Free Masonry, and its fealty to party
according to the old med.eval idea-is
above all other considerations. With
few exceptions it is true, once Dem
ocrat always Democrat. The rank
and file acts and votes but does not
think or cogltate. The idea is all that
is necessary-it expresses the rule of
the people, and that governs them.
1t is far different with Republicans
each individual is thinking or cogi-
tating machine. He thinks and acts
for himself, and admits no dictation
from any source. This is the reason
that there are so many mugwumps in
the organization. In one election the
members may be all in line-in an
other all divided. President Cleve.
land was elected by Republican votes
in 1888, because they were dissatisfied
with their candidate and the platform
did not suit them. Democrats are
Democrats all the year round, ard,
like the law of the Medes and Per-
SANS, never know a change. On
the contrary, the adherents o. the Re-
publican party are attracted by every
new ism, and one day are Prohibition
lists, another Greenbackers, and so on.
In almost every election the Democ-
racy draws its full strength. On tie
contrary, rarely in any election, do TIE
Republicans poll their full strength
And this Is the reason that in "off
years" many states who are attached
to the party elect Democratic officials
We hope this will always remain SO,
as the freedom of the individual is
never so potentially expressed as at
the ballot. box.

GOVERNMENTAL CONTROL.

The question of the national control
of railroad and telegraph systems OF
the United states is being discussed in
the papers. The monopollstic ten
dencies of all corporation haye aroused
the people to realization of the fact
that danger is threatened to the free
institutions of this country by these
combinations of capital, and fol
this reason very many believe that
the government should take the man
angement of them. The subject is Q
broad one, and great many argu'
ments can be produced for and against
the proposition. The regulation ol
rates would be matter of Legislation
if the government had control of cor
porations, and these could be reduced
to the lowest minimum. This would be
a great advantage to producers and
shippers, and excessive charges would
not be any longer a cause of complaint
The railroad and telegraph have be-
come so necessary in the modern busi-
ness world that they should be placed
on an equal footing with the postofiice,
and the great facilities offered by
them should be within the reach of all
citizens. fit is deemed important that
communication between individuals
should be a branch of government,
and the price reduced to mere pit
tance, is it not as great necessity that
the farmer and producer should enjoy
the advantage of the railroad ahd
steamship lines to take to market the
product of the soil, and that all citi-
zens should have access to the tele-
graph at the lowest possible tariff?
This century has been one of remark
able advancement, and in the progress
Of events matters which were once
;. .nsidered ]uxuries are now almost
absolute necessities. For the conven-
ience of the people r..h:al routes are
established in every accessible portion
of the country. and for two cents
message will be taken thousands of
miles. In the future the same neces-
sity will exist for the telegraph and
the railroad, and these will be branches
of the public service.
There are persons who think the
control of the railroad
and telegraph systems of the country
would partake too much of the parental
form and tend to abridge the liberty
Of the c;zizen. If a greater evil can
exist in a free country than the op-
preston Of corporations we are at a
oss to conceive what it can be. By
means of excessive charges railroads
nave placed the heaviest burdens upon
he people, and by reason of their i'm
nense wealth have dictated legislation
md attempted to control the Judiciary.
f everything should happen that the
opponents of the postal telegraph and
postal railroad have predicted it would
till be a relief from what is now suf-
cred. The time may not have ar
wed when the convenience of the
eople demand that the railroads and
,e telegraphs be governmental insti-
ltions; but we shall anxiously watch
Ie progress of events and shall heart
, welcome it when it comes, end be-
we it will be rapid stride towards
e liberation of the people from the =
ralldom under which they now
fer.

MANAGEMENT OF CREAM.

The management of the cream is the
most particular Of all the special points
in butter making, both as regards the
quantity and the quality Of the butter.
Sweet cream makes less batter, and
| that of less pleasant flavor than sour
ed cream But il the scurng is car
ried too far the flavor of the butter is
deteriorated. as the acidity aastens the
| production of those volatile acids which
when in excess produce that condition
which is known as rancidity. 1t is TO
| the very moderate quantity of these
acids in the butter that the pleasant
NIFTY flavor and peculiarly agreeable
| odor OF good butter are due. The prop
er condition of the cream is called ripe
ness. The ripeuing of cream consists
in the production Of certain quantity
of Tactic acid in the milk. of which the
larger part-from sixty 10 scventy-tve
per ccut.-of the cream consists. The

WHAT PIANOS COST.

One Of the most profound mysteries
in the history of every day life in
America is the cost Of piano. APP
parently no two men ever pay the same
sum for pianos which are similar in
scheduled price and every detail of
workmanship, and the manner in which
prices are scaled down would astonish
the manager Of an English dry goods
house. Grand pianos, which appear
in the catalogue to cost 81, 800, can he
had at the ware rooms for about 81
200. and, if the purchaser says he is
professional musician. for 800 or 5000
less. Then there are enormous dis
counts for cash. which bring the price
down 20 about $500; and. after this. il
the purchaser fights Tisilantly, he will,
in all likelihood, be able to throw off
two or three commissions. SO that the
price would come to him at $500. or
is that there must be q very large pro-
fit on pianos when they are sold at the
catalogued prce-it they ever are. The
expenses of piano ware houses in New
York should, by all odds, be very
great for nearly all of the most eligi-
Die sites of Fifth avenue are occupied
by firms of piano makers.
The writer. BY the way. recently saw
a remarkable product Of the skill of
piano makers, in the shape Of an instru-
ment which was built to harmonic
with the music room of magnificent
house which well known millionaire
has just finished on Fifty seventh
street. The room is oval in shape. and
so is the piano. The whole room is
magniticently fittrd out with bass wood,
holly and white oak, and these woods
were used in the manufacture of the
piano case All of the carvings and
decorations Of the room. which are
exquisite. appeared in miniature on the
piano case. and even the stool and legs
were similar to the general spirit of the
apartment The cost of the case alone
