In this mornings edition Of the "Freis
Presse" an article appeared which stated
in an indefinite way that the friends of Po-
lice Commissioner Hogan were circulating
a subscription paper for the purpose of rais-
ing money to purchase horse and buggy,
to present as a gift to Mr.. Hogan. Tie
Enquirer obtained a proof sheet of the ar
ticle, which they also published, together
with an interview with the Commissioner.


The article was offensive to Mr.. Hogan,
and at the close of the session of the Police
Court this morning he appeared in the
Courtroom and demanded of Mr.. Kitsler,
local editor of the Freie Presse, who the
writer of the article was.


The reporter refused to inform him, bus
referred him to the proprietor of the paper
This was unsatisfactory to Mr.. Hogan, and
he Immediately began to accuse the re-
porter of writing the article and to curse
and swear in epithets of the most abusive
character.


In few moments Mr. Hogan became in
furiated and struck the reporter blow
with his fist, and then raised his cane to
strike, but in this he was prevented by ths
interference of Officer Taylor.

scene and attempted to take Mr.. Hogan
from the room, but he resisted, still contiH-
uing his abusive language and threatening
to kill the reporter if he ever wrote such an
article again.


Hogan then jerked away from the officer
and took after the reporter, who ran through
the Judges office, through the hall. into
one of the Mayors rooms, where
Hogan overlook him and brought
the reporter to the floor by striking him y
severe blow on the temple with a loaded
cane. He then jumped upon the PROSTATE
man and gave him several kicks before the
officers interfered.


Before this cruel stamping could be
stopped, Mr., kisler was lying on the floor
in an unconscious condition and bleeding
freely from an ugly and dangerous wound
on the right temple.


1t was a wonder that the man was NOT
killed outright. When picked up he was

LONDON, July SIT Is understood that
some Of the prelates in attendance at the Pan
Anglican Synod have elaborated scheme for
a definite union Of all the Anglican churches
throughout the world. The basis Of this
scheme has been submitted to a number of
bishops, some of whom regard it with favor,
while others are warmly opposed to it. If q
sufficient number of adherents can be OBJ
tained the plan will be submitted to the
Synod. The outline of the scheme provides
that the Archbishop of Canterbury shall be
Primate of the whole church, and that he
shall be aided by one bishop from each ma
tional Church. chosen by the bishops of that
country. The members of this council are to
reside permanently in London, and are to re-
ceive salary raised by general contributions
OF the members of the Church throughout the
world.


The Primate and the council are to have
general supervision of the affairs of the
Church, and are to constitute an ecclesiastical
court for the decision of appeals from local
convention or assemblies of each county. A
eonvocation of all the bishops is to be held at
Lambeth every ten years, and the Primate,
by advice and consent Of the council, may
summon special convocation at any time
when the interests of the Church require it.


The Archbishop of Canterbury is said not
to approve altogethar of this scheme but it
is added that he has himself privately spoken
of another plan for the accomplishment of
the purpose, which had been drawn up by his
son, lately deceased and which he thinks is
practicable.

The recent repeated and ear
nest assurances that the N. P.
r. r. Co. had determined to build
the branch road over the noun
tains Immediately, like the Puy-
allup coal mine, have come to an
abrupt termination. The organ
now says:


"It is understood that the
means for building on this coast
are to be furnished by parties
interested in the road from Snake
river east, and who will contri-
butte nothing towards its exten-
sion west of that river. If this
be the case, and there is little
doubt that it is, then 1t may be
that the next year will not see
our Puyallup road extended
across the Cascades, unless the
people upon both sides Of the
mountains extend such aid as
will be given in the construction
Of the main line east; but should
such assistance be offered, or
should the company be able to
raise the means, we feel certain
that this road will be built to the
Yakima Valley.


Our readers may judge what
the prospect of building that
road is under the contingencies
mentioned. The parties inter-
ested in the road from Snake
river east, are, as we have be-
fore said, the managers Of the o.
s. N. Co., and if they can pre-
vent it, there will never be a
railroad built west of that point

We have received the initial
number of the Oregon Weekly
Record, published at Salem, by
E. q. Norton, ostensibly devoted
to the interest of the laboring
classes, and to the establishment
of a political party for the ele "a
ton of labor. We know of no
class of labor in this country
that stands in greater need OF
elevation than the labor Of print
ing and publishing newspapers.
Yet this new candidate for pub
lie favor in that line, is neither a
practical printer or publisher,
and one of his first efforts is to
degrade rather than elevate the
character of the employment in
which he has engaged under the
pretence of elevating labor. If
he had denounced the public au-
thorities for employing expert
carpenters on public building
at standard wages when jack
carpenters could be employed for
less, he would have done for the
cause of labor precisely the same
service that he has done in de-
nouncing the Common Council
of the City of Salem for electing
a City Printer, to be paid at the
rates established by all the re-
spectacle publishers Of the State,
and the uniform standard of the
most Of the States in the Union,
instead of letting it to the lowest
bidder. There is no rule Of the
craft more rigidly enforced than
that of compelling publishers to
pay their jsurneymen standard
rates, and there is no more rea-
son or necessity for. letting the
Office of Public Printer to the
lowest bidder than there is in
subjecting any other civil service
in the government to the same
test. Fees for publishing are as
easily prescribed by statute as
the fees of Sheriff, Auditor or
Recorder, and the public are as
much interested in the character
of their official paper as in that
of any other department. The
discrimination againstpublishers
is O. small device of demagogues
to commend themselves to popu-
lar favor by degrading journal
ism under the pretence of econo-
my in the public service. No
community ever made or saved
a cent by it in the long run. No
respectable business man ever
lets his printing to the lowest
bidder, and why should corpora
tions or those acting for them be
required to do SO? It is a most
singular doctrine to be put forth
in behalf of labor.

We have reason to believe that at the

menced little over a year since, it was
not anticipated that it would be through
the press before this time. The contract
with Messrs. Appleton allowed ample
time TO elaborate the work, and neither
Mr.. Davis nor his literary assistant in
the work Of authorship spare any time
or trouble in attaining accurate and
complete details as to every matter
treated. A vast mass of documents have
to be overhauled, and we presume that
the amount of correspondence involved
is enormous, for necessarily constant
letters of inquiry must be addressed to
persons who were connected with the
affairs Of the Confederate States in civil
or military capacity. We have no idea
that either Mr.. Davis or the Messrs.
Appleton can be hurried to the issue Of
an incomplete work by the malicious
aspersions of the guer'llas Of the press.

A young man who was in Alaska
some four years ago fell in love with
the only young lady Oh the island, a
girl of fifteen, who was possessed OF
extraordinary beauty, and whose hair

word of English, nor did he speak
Russian. In his dilemma the arrival
OF the priest on his once-im-two-
years visit was godsend, and to

perhaps, one OF the most ecOLOmizino

that, owing 10 the size of the corn, spar

Pieces OF bread an vegetables of all
kinds may be utilized, and scraps of
meat chopped up rather small are of
great value in feeding fowls SHUT up in
the small yards where they are unable to
obtain worms and insects. Potatoes
well boiled and mixed with coarse pol
lard or bran, when scaled TO form a
rather stiff paste, are useful for helping
out the corn. As rule. fowls kept
entirely in enclosed yards should have
three meals a day; the first to consist of
soft food, prerared by the admixture
of boiled potatoes, kitchen scraps, bran
or pollard, and barley CT oatmeal; and
for the other two meals corn of some
kind is decidedly preferable. TIE
soft food will be all the better If it is
mixd over night and placed IN an oven,
so that it ;iay be warm in the morning.
The preparations OF soft food is un-
doubtedly troublesome, and those who
have but little time should feed cn-
tirely with Indian corn. A constant
supply of fresh, clear clean water is
essential, and moderate quantity of
green food, such as caulifiower, cabbage,
lettuce, broccoli leaves, and turnip tops,
should be thrown into the yard daily,
otherwise it will be difficult to keep
the occupants in thoroughly healthy
condition.
