REFORM DEMANDED.
At thia time llio Plaindkaluk does
not feel justified in, or called upon to dia-
cuea all the issues which will doubtless
bo presented to the rspublican party for
itfl approval in convention assembled.
We are awure that politicians who Ggttre
in conventions will not take up any re-
fotmatory measures until pressed upon
their attention by tbe people, aud not
then until that pressure becomes some
what stentorian and positive. Therefore,
as 0110 of the people, we call the atten
tion of our readers to the subject of
amending our immigration and naturali
zation laws.
We demand aud shall urge tlio next
republican 'convention to take steps
toward amending these lawB restricting
both immigration and naturalization.
The timo has como for this country to
call a halt in tho course it has been pur
suing on this subject, and change its
jwlicy. Wo claim that all foreigners
hereafter coming to this country should
be required to prove a continuous orderly
residence in tho United States of 21
years before thoy can be invested with
(he right ot franchise.
Our boys, born on American soil an
reared by American parents, can't vote
until thoy are 21 years of age. Why
Bhould a foreigner, reared under laws,
customs, manners and habits of govern
ments largely antagonistic to ourp, be
permitted to exercise the highest prerog
ative of a native-born citizen reared, edu
cated and trained in tho fcpirit and genius
of Americanism? We demand of the re
publican party of Oregon lo recognize
this growing evil in our Lody politic and
move in the direction tending to stop the
evil complained ot.
It ia becoming intolerable, and,
unless restricted, sooner or later it will
cause serious trouble greater that it has
already done. We have no desire to
open Pa doras box by a reference to this
growing evil, but if it prove such we
have still left with us in that box the
came sentiment which remained in the
ancient casket opened by Epimetheus.
viz: Hope. We hope that some good
can come out of a discussion of this sub
ject. The time was when the better
classes of foreigners only came to Amer
ica, Now, the unuesirable claES which
foreign countries are anxious to set rid
of, are flocking here, Tbe United
States has become a dumping ground for
paupers, criminals and anarchists. Will
Americans tolerate it always?
Speaker Reed's Committees.
Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, as speaker
in congress seems to be trying to settle
national politics- is tba appointments of
committees. It is known that immense
interests are at stake and Uiat the temp
tation 13 great to mako Mr. Reed presi
dent as a reward for proper disposition of
committees.
Speaker ltced ehould rise above Ibis
temptation and rppoint his committees
for the welfare aud prosperity of our
country, instead of for sectional, special
or personal interests. These are troub
lous times and the gentlemen in Wash
ington with good salaries, plenty of fine
wines, bi dinners and banquets are apt
to trifle with tho conditions tbe people
by no fanlt of their own find themselves
in.
Speaker Heed should put the ablest
and most experienced men at the com
mittees and let the presidental lighten
ing strike whero it may. It will be as
apt to strike Mr. Heed as any, if Mr.
Heed docs his plain duty as speaker and
not play politician at all. Capital
Journal.
John Sherman intimates that lie has
reached a point at which he would
rather write than le president. New
York World.
A bill has been introdnced in the
houso by Bingham of Pensylvania to re
store the McKinley rates on the importa
tion and manufactures of wool.
A bill has been introduced in the
houso to appropriate one million dollars
to build a gun factory at BenicU, Cal.,
and $500,000 for a public building at
Oakland, Cal.
Shortly after the end of tho war the
debt of Now York state was about $45,
000,000. The state is now out of debt,
and has mado a record in this respect
to bo proud of, Tho $9,000,000 to be in
vested in enlarging tbe canals will be
virtually a first lien on tho property of
the ommonwnalth.
Spain has rawed $12 ,000,000 in Eng
land, with Cuban bondB as securitj, the
money to be paid at tho rato of $10,000,
000 a mouth, and used in crushing the
native armies fighting for liberty. Thero
are other indications that in caeo of fail
ure in Cuba Spain will look to England
for something more than financial aid.
Tho deficiency in revenuo for 1S94 was
$94,000,000 and for the first five tnonttiB
of this year $19,000,000. making a total
deficiency of $113,090,000 EinceJuno 30,
1894. Tho bonded debt has been in
creased $02,000,000. Thus, under Cleve
land's democratic policy, tho national
finances are growing worse every day
and if continued and would bankrupt
the government in a short timo. A
changu of policy is imperatively de
manded.
Hermann's enemies try to make politi
cal capital out of his telegram to Senator
Alloy of Lauo county, aud for that pur
poses quote, "Auy promises mado by my
friends will bo redeemed by mo." The
object of these strictures is to insinuate
that Mr. Hormuun had promised to do
bo ui o tiling improper somo bad thiug,
Now until these ghouls can show that
Mr. Hurmaun had made such a pro
miso there is nothing derogatory in his
telegram. We all, democrats, republi
cans, populists, and private citizens bare
confidence in our friends.
TELEGRAPH NEWS
Carlisle's Report.
Washington, Dec. 1G. Secnelary Car
lisle's annual report of the state of the
government's finances were sent to con
gress today. It shows that the revenues
of the government, from all sources, dur
ing the last fiscal year amounted to
$390,373,203. Tho expenditures during
the same period aggregated $433,178,820,
leaving a deficit for tho year of 12,805,
G23. As compared with the fiscal year
of 1894, tho receipts for.1895 show an in
crease of 117,570,705, although there was
a decrease of f 11,329,981 in the ordinary
expenditures which is largely accounted
for by tho reduction ut f 11,134,055 on
sugar bounties.
Tho revenues of the current fiscal year
are estimated, upon the basis of existing
laws, at $431,907,407 and the expendi
tures ut $448,907,407, which will tleayo a
detlcit of $17,000,000. For the coming
fiscal year ending June 30, 1897, the sec
retary estimates the receipts at $4G4,793,
120 and the expenditures at $457,8S4,193,
or an estimated surplus of $0,903,927.
The eecretary states briefly the facts
concerning tho issues of bonds during
the year, tbe particulars of which have
already been reported to congress.
Tbe report shows that the Behring sea
patrol fleet during the last season boarded
and examined 94 vessels, 54 of which
were engaged in sealing. The number
of skins actually counted was 31,210.
Mauy ol the vessels in the revenue cutter
service, the secretary Eays, are very old
and nearly nnscaworthy, and he recom
mends that four new one's be provided
to take the places of tbe McLane, tbe
Crawford, tho Seward and one at the
port of New York.
The secretary says the government of
Great Britain baa refused to renew the
Beating regulations agreed upon for the
season of 1894, providing for the sealing
up of arms, which leaves tbe question of
tbe possession and use oi arms to be de
termined wholly by the Paris award.
The total catch of sea Id at sea, in the
award area, during last season was 56,
291, as compared with 6I.S3S for the sea
son of 1S94 . The catch on the sea islsnds
was 10,000. A careful count of all of the
seals on tbe islands last year makes the
number a little over 200.000, a decrease
of over one-half since 1S91.
'l'he secretary devotes a large share of
his report to a discussion of the condition
of the treasury and tho currency, in the
course of which he makes an exhaustive
argument in favor of the retirement of
greenbacks.
The cash balance in tbe treasury on
the first day ol December, 1895, he saye,
"was $177,400,3S6, being $93,072,420 in
excess of the actual gold reserve on that
day, and $77,406,356 in excess of any
sum that it would be necessary to use for
replenishing that fund in case the secre
tary should at any time be unable to ex
change currency for gold There is,
therefore, no reason to doubt the ability
of the government lo discharge all of its
currency obligations during the present
fiscal year, and to have a largo cash bal
ance at its close, without imposing ad
ditional taxation in auy form upon the
people. But I adhere to the opinion
heretofore expressed that the secretary
of the treasury ought always to have
authority to issue and sell, or use in tbe
payment of expanses, short-time bonds,
bearing a low rate of interest to supply
casual deficiencies in the revenue.
Cuba's Manifesto.
Washington, Dec. 10. The manifesto
of the Cnban revolutionary party to the
people of the United States was made
public today. It is a lone document,
prepared by Enrique Jose Varona, ex
deputy of the Spanish cortes, and re
views the history of the revolutionary
agitation in tiuna ana tlio present con
ditions on the island. The manifesto
summarizes the Cubans' needs thus:
"Tho people of Cuba require only
lioerty ana inuepenaeuce to become a
factor in the prosperity and progress of
civilized nations, instead of an element
of disturbance and ruin. The fault lies
entirely with Spain. Cuba is not the
ofiender, but it is the defender of its
rights. Let America, let the world de
cide where rests justice and right."
It is set out that no people could bear
tho wrongs endured by the Cubans with
out protest, or without degrading or con
demning themselves to annihilation,
The manifesto concludes:
"Spain denies the Cubans all effective
powers in their own country : condemns
them to political inferiority in their na
live land; confiscates the product of their
labor without giving in icturn either
safety, prosperity or education, Spain
has shown herself utterly incapable of
governing Cuba, which it exploits, im
poverishes and demoralizes. Cubans
not in auger, hut in despair, have ap
pealed to arms to defend their rights and
vindicato that eternal principle, without
which every community is in danger
tho principle of justice. Nobody has tbo
right of oppression. Spain oppresses ua
In rebelling against oppression wo do
fend tho right ; we aro scrying tho cause
of mankind. We havo not counted the
number of our enemies, nor measured
their strength. Wo may tiud ruin and
death a few steps ahead. So bo it, w
do our duty. If the world is indillercnt
lo our cause, so much tho worse for all
new iniquity shall l.ave been consum
mated. Tho principle of human solid
arity shall havo suffered defeat."
The Yukon Gold Fields.
New Yoiik, Dec. 16. Tlio Sun's Wash
ington special says :
Trustworthy information ban been re
ceived at the geological sunoy in regard
to this year's ontput of gold ut tho Yukon
gold field in tho neighborhood of the
mouth of Forty-Mile creek, a portion of
tho territory now in dispute between tbe
goveruuiouts of Great Britain and tbe
United States. Captain James Hayes,
who is in command of tbo steamer Ber
tha, belonging to tho Alaska Commercial
Company, but now chartered by the
North American Commercial Com pan '
and plying between St. Michael's, on
Northern sound, near the mouth of tho
Yukon, and Sitka and southern ports,
passed through Washington this week
and stopped at the survev office to give
this information.
It was the Beetha which brought down
200 men from the Yukon in October.
With these 200 men was shipped $200,-
000 worth of gold, which was sent to San
Francisco for reshipment. Captain
Hayes says that although some of tbe
men were discontented, many were satis
fied with their luck and sufficiently en
couraged at the prospects of future suc
cess to go back next Spring. This $200,
000 worth of gold which was taken out
this season, represents only a part of tbe
ear's product. Nearly as much again
has been got cut, but it was not ready
for shipment. Captain Hayes' conserv
ative estimate from statements of miners
places the total value of gold taken from

An old fossilized, dodopated looking
individual perambnlating the country,
dropped into a saloon the other day and
took a glass of the ardent, wined his
mouth on his sleeve and sat down to look
at the boys playing poker, and, though
apparently ignorant of catds, toot deep
interest in the game, remarking that he
could beat all such playing as that done
by one at the table. This somewhat
nettled the loser and he bantered tbe old
codger to try his hand. Rather loth,
he however took a band and lost a few
dollars. He made several foolish plays
which were observed by the lookers on,
several of whom bantered the old chap
play. With assumed ignorance of
card playing he finally accepted the ban
ter and the game began. Now that the
money was up it became quite interest
ing, and tbe old cydger's bad playing
ceased and he now proceeded "according
to Hoyle." He raked in all the scads
they could dig up and retired from the
came, remarking that he usually would
not play cards with children and hoped
the Lord would forgive him for this de
parture from his heretofore pledge not to
do so, averring he would never do so
again. He was pressed to treat, but he
declined on the grounds that he never
'put the bottle to his neighbors' lips,"
bade them good 'day and went on his
his way rejoicing.
31 oral : Never play cards for money,
especially with an old codger.
The Horseless Age.
Regarding the much prophesied "pass
ing ol tnc horse," the Kailway Age,
Chicago, November 22, speaks jia fol
lows: "'The Horseless Age is the de
cidedly premature title of a new monthly
periodical. The recent 'moto cycle'
fiasco at Chicago, where, instead of a
hundred or so self-propelled vehicles of
various sorts that were to compete madly
over a uumlreu-mile course, only a
single oue, a clumB.v carriage, built in
France, managed lo lumber around to
the goal, showed the horse ia very far
from Deing superseded for purposes both
of pleasure and work."
