Revs. Pewther, Osborn and Baily

All the way from two to a dozen
cases of smallpox are reported in

they are both under strict quaran-

THE suggestion of Chief of Police
Mitchell in regard to the establish
ment of Il reform school is a good
one. Not only in Seattle, but in
every city of Washington Territory,
there are hoodlums who are too
young to be sent TO the penitentiary
but who should not be permitted to
be Mt large. With proper effort
many of these might be prepared
for useful citizenship. If this city
or county should establish such a
reformatory institution as is needed,
an arrangement could probably be
effected by which it would become a
place of confinement for incorriglble
youth from all pats of the territory,
and eventually 1t would become Il
territorial institution. The subject
is one which should be freely dis
ssed5vSeattle Post. i...

THE TRUSTS.

One of the most outspoken and
earnest articles upon the subject of
trusts" appears in the editorial
olums of that excellent paper, the
Prairie Farmer, of Chicago, it says
that "the modern trust is hydra
headed monster. Its province is to
wreck railroads, combine to place q
fictitious price upon any article OF
value, to crowd out competitors by
driving out all but these engaged in
the conspiracy out of the trade, and
then fix prices to suit the greed
Of the principals.
The trust is, in fact, conspiracy
to illegally and outrageously tax
every purchaser of the goods or com
modities it represents. With pools,
syndicates, trusts (?), whatever they
may call themselves, whether the
commodity be coal, iron, salt, sugar,
or what not, the ann is not to put
fictitious and outrageous profits into
the gaping and capacious pockets of
the INSCRIPTIONS organizers.
The minions of trusts, syndicates
and pools and even some of the
principals themselves, are found in
the senate and house of representa-
tives of the United States and also
in state legislatures, Are such peo-
pie saf. to trust? Being interested,
are they fit lawmakers Is not the
creative power greater than the
created? Most assuredly Why
then this twaddle that the law can
not touch them7 They are conspir-
ators, robbers, enemies of the public
welfare, and the man or Legislature
who assumes or argues that the law
cannot reach them, is no less dam
gerous as n law-maker than the
hydra-headed trust of to-day. n.

THE LABOR QUESTION.

The San Francisco Examiner pro
poses solving the labor question in a
practical way. 1t says:
1.-THE problem is simple enough.
What is needed to ascertain definite
ly the extent of the demand for
white labor, and to learn where the
supply of white labor is to be had.
These bottom facts known, all that
will remain.to be done will be to car
ry the laborers to the places where
they are wanted. ''-.''"
Being weary of the barren discus
sion now going on in Boards Of
Trade, Trades Unions, etc, 1t pro-
poses bringing things to focus at
once, in the most direct and business
like manner:
First, then, the Examiner invites
every orchardist, vineyardist and
hop-grower in California who has
heretofore employed Chinese and
who is willing to employ white men
instead the coming season, to send
US his name, the number of men he
wants, when he wishes them to ar
rive and how long he will need
them.
Second, when we have thus learn
ed the extent and locality of the
demand, we shall call upon the city
intelligence offices and other labor
supply agencies Of every nature to
provide the men.
Nothing then will be required to
bring demand and supply together
but labor trains at an extremely low
rate Of fare.
The Examiner if need be will sup
ply these labor trains itself.
They Will not be confiDed to San
Francisco as starting point, but
willrun from Los Angeles, Sacra-
mento and any other considerable
place where idle and willing men
may be collected" -. 30.
The Examiner asks the co-Opera-
ton of all labor organizations in
bringing about these results, but if
they choose to waste their time in
idle talk, it proposes to do the work
alone.
A Douglas county man proposes
another theory, which combined
with the Examiners views, ought
to be successful. All over the
of Oregon are hundreds
of nice garden spots, or small tracts
of lands varying from one to forty
acres, that would make most excel
lent homes for the poor, with plenty
of wood for fuel, fodder for his COW
and good lands for his garden.
These homes would be healthful and
could be occupied when the owner
was not otherwise employed, and
would be far better than the crowded
city, with it's demoralizing influences
and unhealthy novels. u.

SHOWERS of grayish and reddish
dust off the African coast and over
Southern Europe have been known
from Homers time. A "blood-rain"
in 1866 covered POO square leagues of
northern Italy, making a deposit an
inch deep in places and a dust fall
near Cape Verde, described by Dar-
win, was 1000 or 1900 miles wide and
reached 500 or 1000 miles from the
coast, a shower Of dust near

amount to 100000 Ibis, one-eighth
being microscopic organisms. The

mechanics and laborers, who know
the value of dollar, and where to

THE SCHOOL BOOK CHANGE.

Cannot our legislature do some
thing to relieve the poor who are
disposed to educate their chilren?
Already Salem has a number of
children who are deprived of school
privileges on account of the expense
ofschool books, and another dose of
the priceless school booksn is upon
us. Oregon has had more than is
usual of this kind of speculation
and it is about time for some kind
of relief to be offered. Education
must soon be confined to few.

The revolution Tn Brazil was hap pily effected without bloodshed. Brazil Is now republic, and the fact has been communicated to foreign govern ments. The late Emperor, Dom Pedro, was a good man. He made known to his subjects that he was willing to submit to vote of the people wheth- CT Brazil should remain monarchy or become republic. The acton of the Emperor in aboliShing slavery had so crippled the fortunes of a large class of hls subjects, and had so em- bittered them that the proposition was not acquiesced in.

PROmlRIrION.

The Globe Democrat in referring to the recent political cyclone, ID Ohio, Iowa and Kansas deduces the fact that the wrecklng of Republican majorities i in those States is attributable to aiiil- iation with the prohibition party, and, therefore. advises repudlation of the tenets of adherents of the cold, unso- cial pump, It says: "fhe thlng for the Republican party to do IS to re- pudiate all connection with the prohi- bition movement, and plant itself suuarely upon the doctrine of high license and local option. That doe urine, freed from distasteiul Sunday laws, is believed in by a large maiori- ty of the people. Let it be accepted as part of the Republican creed, and there will be no more bolting, and no more Democratic victories in the Re publican States"
 The progress of temperance since the first meeting for the suppression of alcoholic indulgence on the North American continent, held at Sillery, Canada, in l6iS, has not revolution ized the habit of taking a little for the stomach s sake, if we may judge from the fact that in the 2SSth year since that event, the consumption of wines, liquors and distilled spirits, in the United States alone, is Staustically given at 737 ,296,554, or thirteen and seventeenth hundreds of gallon to each man, woman and child who rec. ogni2eS Uncle sam as their political father.

It however, was not as Stralght-laced 8, It subsequently, became. permitted the use ot cider, methegljn, spruce beer, wines and malt liquors, in mod eration, but now the advocates of tht measure interdict the use of all hqror. and have made saloon men and deal, CTS in the ardent targets for then malignant shots.
