MORE MONEY TO wRANe1E OVER.

MORE MONEY TO wRANGLE OVER.
Tne circuit court for Benton county is not
yet done with :Ee Oregon Pacific litigation.
It was generally supposed that the report of
r fierce Woo dcock and the disbursement OF
tle fluids in court in compliance with his
findings, would end the long drawn out case,
but last week an U. s. judge for the district
of California handed down an opinion in the
libel proceedings against the steamer Will
lamette Valley, awarding Chas. Clark, re-
cever and plainLiff in the case, So 900, the
surplus from the sale Of the steamer, and
the m ,ney will likely be brought into Judge
Fullerton's court for disbursement. Con-
corning the matter, a San Francisco dis
patch says:
Charles Clark, receiver of the Oregon Pa
elf, railroad, was today awarded $a3 900 in
coin, the surplus from the sale of the steam
snip Willamette Valley, over which num-
Der Of creditors of the bankrupt company
have been at law, in the district court for the
past few mouths. Jud g Morrow 50 decid-
ed Yesterday in a lelgthy opinion in the case
OF K. Chandler VS.. the steam hip William
etc Valley. Receiver Clark applied for the
entire surplus, as the representative Of the
Oregon court, IN whose possession the prop
erty of the Orsg,n Pacific is, and also
claim mt for the vessel. Counter petitions
were hled by the master for his wages as
master and pilot; by judgment creditor,
who I'd recovered common law judgment
in the state courts; by the sureties who went
on a b )nd to release the vessel when she was
first lioeled, and We're compelled to pay the
amount of the decree; by several insurance
com t,anies, as holders OF receivers certli-
Gates purpJrting To give them prior lien in
payment of premiums for insurance, and by
other holders OF certificates. The court
awards the entire surplus, less all costs, to
| the receiver, on the ground that he was the
representative of the owner, and primarily
entitled to it, and on the further ground that
noue OF the petitioners. other than the hold
ers Of receivers certificates, have any lien
against the fund as against the claim on the
owner, and the petitioners holding receivers
certificates, whether they had lien or not
(which is not decidedly, the proper court to
pass upon their rival claims was the receiv-
| er's court which issued the certificates and
marshaed all the claims pending against the
lnsolvcnt corporation which formerly owned
the vessel.

Seidlitz must not be made too strong
in England. a druggist has just been
fined for overdosing the people of
Brentford.

once fashionable running footmen,
died recently in London at the age of
93. Fifty-four of his descendants saw

New York, Feb. /.

We hear much Of the new woman,
the new man (and even sometimes an
echo of the "old MANI, the new edu-
cation, new books, ETC., ad infinitum.
Why not discuss the question of the new
editor or the new newspaper?
The new editor is a man Cor woman)
who is not only up to date, but is even
anticipating the future. He is both a
man of theory and practice. "He stands
four square to all the winds that blow. "
He is i'll touch with every interest of his
community, state and nation. He be-
longs generally to some political party,
but is larger than any or all parties. He
sees things with his own eyes and writes
what he thinks or does not write at all.
he knows men and books, and urges
every good move that looks to the better
ment OF the community i'll any sense. He
can make speech, tell a joke well, laugh
at one that you tell poorly, enjoy the
best plays, musicales, lectures and SER
mons. He has great power for good and
uses it for noble ends. He is reputa-
tion maker, for hundreds of men every
year soar into prominence on tho wings
of the newspapers. He is all this and
very much more. Along with the new
woman let Us all hail the advent of the
new editor. CHARLES MARSHALL.

The tickle-me-andI'll-tickle-you me-
thod of legislation is manifested in va
rious appropriation bills to improve our
inland waterways. While such measures
are ostensibly in the interest of pro-
ducers, they will bear the test of the
most careful scrutiny.
Millions are asked to make the Mis-
sissippi nayigabe for larger vessels, so
that cereals may be carried to the gulf
at one-third the present rate.
The money that has already been spent
on this channel would have built a
double track railroad from st. Louis to
New Orleans, and yet further expendi-
lures, aggrcgating $50, ,OOO, 900, are con-
templated.
The advocates of coast defenses and
more warships may be relied upon to
support these schemes upon recipro-
city basis.
If the cereal growers are to be the
real bcnclicaries of this large eXpcndi-
tnrc, they should ask the government to
build a free railroad to the southern sea-
board Such an outlay would be less in
Ghe end.

OF INTEREST TO THE SOLDIERS.

Part of Dahomey is to be colonized
with Alsatians and Lorrainers who
have served in the French army.
The key of Libby prison and the dag
which tloated over the prison are pre-
served in the Soldiers Memorial hall
at Rutland, Vt.
Cabul, in Afghanistan, has am arms
factory third of a mile long and 200
yards wide, that turns out 10000 cart
ridges and Is rifles daily, and four
quick-tiring field guns every week.
A massive Quincy granite monument
has been erected over the grave of the
late Gen. Abner Doubleday, at Airing
ton, by his former comrades of the
FIRST Corps Association, Army of the
Potomac. The column is similar to
that which marks the grave of Gen.

The arraignment of politicians for
their usurpation of the rights of the
people under Live Questions" in this
issue is made in clear and vigorous Eng
lish. 1t is undoubtedly true that the
people are rulers in theory more than in
practice. Mr.. Pierce makes strong
case and promises at least Il partial
remedy through these columns in a
second article.
These discussions are bringing first
principles to the front. The individual
franchise involves great responsibility.
The voter needs a knowledge of public
affairs little less than the statesmen if
he is to select them.
The spoliation of the many under
the forms of oilicalism will continue un-
til he realizes that the only true object
of government is the good of those who
are governed and not of those who
govern. The spols system prevents the
purposes of government, and so long as
it continues elections will merely signify
that voters transfer the Offices from one
set of rulers to another
a pure spring cannot proceed from an
impure source. and popular government
will be failure until the aiority de-
mand the election of representatives who
realize that a public position is sacred
trust

Governor Hastings proclamation, an
nouncing that April 10 and "A have been
selected as Arbor Days for this state,
has been issued. In some localities the
weather will probably be unfayorable
for so early a date as April 10, and for
such the latter day has been provided.
The governor calls attention to the
necessity of having this holiday OBJ
served, as the following extracts from
his proclamation will show
Although Pennsylvania was once
wholly covered with Il dense growth of
valuable timber, today scarcely one
fourth OF that area remains and the
supply has fallen off to such an extent
that the commonwealth is unable to
produce the timber required for its own
inhabitants.
"Of the regions which, when timbcred,
we're a source of wealth to their owners
and to the state, not less than $500. 900
acres are unfit for agricultural purposes.
Most of this vast area has little or no
mineral wealth and is now an unsightly
practically abandoned; territory. Fires
sweep over it year after year destroying
the younger growth and burning out
the fertility of the soil, and this vast
territory is passing into the condition of
4 desert, becoming poorer each success
'ive year. 1t is not only possible but
practicable to restore the forests upon
these desert wastes, which would be pro-
lucing crop of great value to our state,
and would also restore to our rivers and
streams the beneficial influences of the
forests.
AS it was once a necessity to remove
trees in order to obtain ground to plant
grain, and for other purposes of civiliza-
zion, it appears that this necessity pro-
duced a treedestroying habit, which
should be countcracted as speedily as
possible.
This is the first generation in the
commonwealth ever brought face to face
with the dangers and disasters of a
timberless country. To change the cur
rent of national thought from the tree
destroying to the tree-protecting policy,
TO add to the beauty of our mountains
and valleys, to ornament the grounds of
our free schools and other public insti-
tutions, to add comfort to the traveller
upon our public highways. to preserve
the shores and banks of our rivers and
smaller streams are objects worthy of
the intelligent attention of our citizens
