One of the most outrageous crimes in the history of the Northwest is re corded in Aetoria,in the caw of Darius Norris, who was shanghaied not in a staonr of drubkennessr but at the point of a revolverabout March 1, 1891. The conspirators seem to have been an attorney by the name of Car penter and the then Chief of Police Barry. Norris had some property left hint and these villains, on the threat of death, inveigled him to sign it over to them and then placed him on board ship bound for Dunkirk, Frarce, with the threat of sudden death if be ever returned. They secured as a bounty from the ship captain $180 as blood money, to be taken out of their victim's salary, leaving him at the end of his voyage only a few dollars and in a strange country and away from his family. Norris has been eighteen months getting home and this only through the persistent efforts of bis friends. In the meantime Barry has been removed from office, and the new chief, assisted by Sheriff Smith, have been diligently at work ferreting out the crime and the guilty par ties are being rapidly brought to justice. Carpenter, as soon he heard Norris was on his way home, immediately deeded the prop erty back to Norris' heirs and departed for San Francisco, where he was ar rested a few days ago and brought back to Astoria. Norris returned to that town a few days ago and related the whole affair to the authorities, and his story ought to make a strong scaf fold for the punishment of his perse : cutors. ' ' - TEE GOLDEN PERIOD. Gen." Stevenson, the democratic candidate for vice-president, bas been eulogising the rule of the democracy during the last period in the history of the nation in which it had full awing at the government. He speaks of the ten years immediately preced ing the war of the rebellion as "the golden period of our history." At the closing part of that 'golden period" James Buchanan was a very promi nent democrat in fact he was the president of the United States and was supposed to be authority in mat ters pertaining to the condition of the country, is on record concerning that period, or the closing years thereof, as follows: "Our manufactures have sus pended, our public works are retarded, thousands of laborers are thrown out of employment, and our country's monetary interests are in a deplorable condition." What do the people think of the closing years of "the golJen period," as represented by the then leading democratic apostle, and of the times when bank bills were about as worthless as the bank notes of the Southern Confederacy at the close of the wart Do the people desire a return of this "golden period" a return to the condition of these good old demo cratic times? If they do, it is pre samed they will put forth their best efforts to secure the election of Cleve land and Stevenson the men who lacked the manly courage and patriot ism of many other democrats to go to the front and fight for the preservation of the union of these great and glorious United States, but sent substitutes, while they remained at home to de clare the war a failure and that the ' southern states should be allowed to secede. The election of Cleveland and Stevenson and a democratic con-, gresa might go far toward bringing about those "good old times" that "golden period" described by James Buchanan; A CONSCIENTIOUS DEMOCRAT. There are conscientious democrats to be found occasionally. George Ticknor Curtis, who is now a man of four score years, Was in his day a great lawyer, and bis contributions to litera ture have been very considerable. The extreme free-tradeism of the Chicago convention) and its utter disregard of law as well as of facts, have aroused bis indigaalioh. The following is the main passage of his article in the American Economist, which both ex poses and denounces the democratic platformt "In common with many other democrats, 1 cannot follow the leaders of the party in denouncing re publican protection as a fraud Upon the labor of the great majority of the American people for the benefit Of the few ; nor Can I subscribe to the doc trine that a protective tariff is uncon stitutional. I have no pecuniary in terest in manufactures, but I know what protection lias done and is doing iw raw wumrj.' u it operates ior me benefit of the few, I am not one of that few. 1 am one ot the manv one of the great majority benefited by it, l -i.j. .1 . luciuuing uiose who denounce it ior the sake of obtaining political power. If the leader of a political party assembled in national convention for the purpose of nominating a candi date for the presidency and vice-presidency choose to stultify themselves by falsifying history, they cannot expect to he followed by others who have any habit of independent thought and action." Down in Georgia the other day, at the conclusion of oandidate Weaver's speech, when a negro rose to contra niot the general's radical statements the former got so indignant that negro should attempt to answer him that he left the platform. It seems that the colored people of the South do not apprecinte the stand Weaver has taken, notwithstanding the net of his being one of their outspoken exponents during the late unpleasant ness. Besides, the candidate's actum in leaving the platform fur the reason above stated, bIiows that he is not au loyal American when he draws the "color line" on American citixens. The people of the South have no use for Weaver and Mrs. Lea so, as has been shown by their withdrawal from the Southern field of politics. The South is as solid now as it ever was, and the vain hope of the peoples party (0 carry some of the Southern states is disproved by the treatment accorded their standard bearers during their campaign in that section. There has been much talk concern ing the danger of the cholera being brought to this country by disease infected garments, wastes, etc. It may not be amiss to refer to the fact that the Springer free wool bill, passed by the democratic house and pigeon-holed by the protectionist senate, placed all rags on the free list. There seems to be nothing inappropriate in this, as free trade, pauperised labor and free rags go naturally together. The Colaaabta Connty Exhibit. The Columbia county World's Fair committee are busily at work under the supervision of Mrs. A. J. Conyers, of Ciatskanie, in co-operation with the state committee. This county has been granted space with the state ex hibit for z boxes, to contain trees and plants as follows: Five yellow fir, five hemlock, five cedar, hve Oregon grape, five spruce trees, and two brakes and two ferns, each placed in separate boxes. The trees are to be not less than five feet high, and are simply specimens of the timber grown in the county. The exhibit will be prepared this fall, the trees planted in boxes and cared for during the winter so that they will have an early and thrifty growth in the spring. The state committee will attend to the shipping of them to Chicago next spring, so that we will have no other expense except to get the articles ready. They will be kept at Banier this winter and shipped to Portland in the spring, whence they will be ship ped to Chicago. Every person in Columbia should be materially interested in this move ment, for good results are sure to come in return. There is no better way to advertise the connty than by sending samples of onr nntural resources to the (Treat fair. When we consider that timber is our chief product, of which we have an abundance, the priv ilege by the state committee of being permitted to send samples of that product is bigbly appreciated by our people in general. Let every one who can contribute something to neip mis commendable effort along. A LIVE CITY. The Town of Ciatskanie as a Busi ness Center. The editor enjoyed a conple of days' ra- cation in the lower end of the connty the first of the Week, Ciatskanie being the ob- jectiTe point It is five years since onr last yistt to that city, and a great many lm provements of a substantial character have resulted in the meantime. Where five years ago there were two stores, a ware house and a conple of dwellings, today there is in existence an incorporated city of probably 300 or 400 inhabitants, represent ing all classes of business from the chem ist's laboratory to sawmills of large capa city. There are now four large gederal merchandise stores, operated respectively by Cbarles Gorame, E. W. Conyers, A. F. Myers and W. A. Edgerton. Among other mercantile establishments are Dr. Hall's drag store. Dr. Popbsm's laboratory, two blacksmith shops, two hotels, thereat estate and insurance agency of W. H. Conyers Sc. Co., and various other establishments of trade that usually go to make np a village. The basis of all business in Ciatskanie is the lumber trade, there being a number of large sawmills in that valley , some of which are In the citj proper, and furnish employment to a great many men all the year roundi This lumber is, in large part, shipped to Portland, where the market at this time is about np to the standard. The latest and most ornamental as well as important improvement in Ciatskanie Is the new school building. It is just being completed and contains four large rooms two below and two above and an ante room in front, supported by a wide porch. From the ante-room the ascension to the second story is made. The building stands on an elevation of a good many feet above the principal part of the city and overlook ing mostof the beautiful and fertile Ciats kanie valley. The lover ef pleturesqaeness could not desire a more perfect landscape than is offered from the school house. Looking up the valley for miles the eye be holds the green fields, interspersed with clumps of green foliage, making it a most attractive sight. Though constructed of wood the product of that valley it is by far the best public building in the county. There is one other advantage that Ciats kanie people enjoy over many other sec tions of the county, and that is tbeir splen did transportation facilities, having two of the best steamers plying the river making regular daily trips into that port. The Shaver and Sarah Dixon have few superiors for speed and their owners have no equal for accommodation and straightforward business tact, which the people along the route and in Ciatskanie In particular ap preciate. They are a I ways ready to f u rniih the best service possible to their patrons. Catskanle, although a comparatively new city, perhaps does a larger business than any other town in Columbia county. Used in Millions of Home PPH1ES DiXE.VA. ,, As yon do not often hear from this locality, perhaps a few items would bo acceptable. The weather Is again settled and hauling has begun, although the roads are In had condition. Mr. William Holsapple and family have moved to Portland. Mr. L. A.

Mr. John Cramer has moved his family hack to his farm. Mr. J. . Henrioi, of Portland, is ex pected to take part in the World's Fair entertainment, to be given Satur day evening, October 8. Let all turn out and have a grand good time. It has been reported that an admis sion fee of 25 cents would be charged. This is not the esse. AU are invited to come. At tho close of tbe exer cises a contribution will be asked, leav ing it to each person to give as his purse will allow, he it much or little. It is desired that the ladies will bring (or at least prepare and have their husbands or best fellows bring) their baskets filled with eatables, as it has been thought best to serve a lap sup per, and charge onlv 70 cents for tick ets to the ball, which will take place immediately after tbe concert. The new ball is 24x32 feet, exclusive of the stage and dressing rooms, which add 10 feet more, making it 42 feet long. It will be completed this week. Every citisen of this county should feel in terested in advertising the resources of Columbia county at the World's Fair and lend a helping band to the ladies who have formed the Columbia County World's Fair Club and so earnestly endesvoriog to raise means sufficient to send za trees selected from our forests of firs, spruce, hem lock, etc., to Chicago next spring small trees, ef course, not over six feet high. Mrs. E. W. Allen, of Port land, ladies manager for Oregon, in forms Mrs. W. H. Conyers, president of the club in this county, that space has been reserved for tbe trees. Come, one and all, and assist in this great work, so that if yon are fortunate enough to goto "Chicago in 1893 yon can see sometning mat win reminu you of Oregon, and you can say wit h pride Columbia county is represented there.

Mr. Leslie Baily intends putting up a "dry house," and calculates having it large enough to hold three carloads of shingles. He is an enterprising man and deserves to succeed, and all his fri'-nds are confident that be will. Mr. A. Smith is putting up a new frame house on bis ranch, to replace the old log one. Dave Pope spent Sunday with bis parents. We learn from him that tho dance at Hendricks' was a decided suc cess, quite a contrast in fact with the one at "Brimstone Corner" two weeks before. The people of Carico are disposing of their cattle with the intention, we hear, of getting a different breed. Some of tbem prefer Holstein. Mr. Braddock is intending moving his family to Houlton, where his black smith shop is, as soon ss his house is finished there. He is going to give a dance as soon as the floor is laid. WASHINGTON LETTER. (From our regular correspondent.) Washington, September 23, 1802. The greatest week in the history of tba great organization, the Grand Army of the Republic, ends today. Within that week bas been crowded much that never will be forgotten by those who came to tbe en campment, either as participants or spec tators. The big parade was alone worth traveling around tbe world to see. It can never be duplicated, as many ot the eighty thousand veterans who proudly marched np historic Pennsylvania avenue will never attend another encampment. It was a liv ing lesson in our country's history to the rising generation that will always be re membered with pleasure. And think you that anybody who saw that living United States flag formed of nearly 1,000 school children and listened to the songs of patri otism and welcome with which their tire less and fresh young voices greeted almost continuously for seven hours the veterans as tbey marched past can ever forget the scene T This singing flag idea was so unique, and withal so enjoyable, that its originator ought to be specially honored In some way by the O. A. B. Washington is prond of its encampment record, as it has every right to be. It has disappointed tbe croakers at home and abroad, and shown that it has no superiors and few if any equals as a host; and, mind yon, it is no small task to satisfactorily en tertalo a crowd that more than doubles a city's population. Hundreds of veterans who are regular attendants at the annual encampments say that other cities have treated them well, but none have ever treated them so well as Washington has done. The veterans were made to feel that Washington belonged to them, and during the entire week there was a good-natured rivalry among Washingtonians to see who could do the most to enhance the favorable impression made upon the veterans when thev arrived. The work of the local com mittee has been wonderful. It exhibited to the visitors the most handsomely decor ated city they had ever seen. It furnished 40 Years the Standard, free sleeping qusrtsrs to 56,luO veterans and arranged for an ample supply of food for tliem at reasonable prices. It Introduced for the pleasure of the visitors an entirely new method ot fanoy electric Illumination for streets. It arranged a system of re unions, with tho aid of flcn. Palmer and his stair, that was a decided improvement In that line. It gave an exhibition of Hire works as fine ss ever seen in Washington. It stationed courteous clerks wherever It was thought Information might be desired by veterans. In short. If anything was left undone that might have added to the comfort of its guests. It was because no body had suggested It to the committee. The president, who returned to the White Hons in company with Mrs. Harrison (who b still m a critical condition) Wednesday morning, was in no frame ot ndud to take any part In the entertainments for bis com rades, but he was pleated to know tout everything had been so enjoyable to them, and ha so expressed himself to the com mittee. Vice-President Morton, who took the president's place in receiving the parade, said: I am delighted. Everything bas been perfect. Secretary Tracy : It Is the greatest thing out. Secretary Charles Foster: This Is un doubtedly tho biggsst week in the history ot the O. A. K. Attorney-General Miller: Why, this is tbe biggest tiling in tbe universe. It sur passes belief. It is highly creditable to cit izens and soldiers. Postmaster-General Wanamaker: It's a great occasion. I am proud ot my state and ber soldiers, proud of my country, and proud that I am entitled to wear the badge of theU. A. It. Gen. Schoneld: Accustomed all my life to military affairs, I am astonished at this demonstration. It Is a revelation. Gen. B. F. Butler: Great Is the only word for it I should havo come to this encampment it it had been necessary to come on a stretcher. Ex-President R. B. Hayes: I expected something big, but I confess that I have been astonished. Senators Mandcrson, Hawley and Palm er, all members of the senate military com mittee, agree in pronouncing the parade the greatest ot the G. A. R., and everybody votes "aye" with them. , Partisan politics were tabooed during the encampment, bat It required no special effort to ascertain that Mr. Cleveland and his copperhead associate on the democratic ticket has few it any friends among the rank and file of the G. A. K. The veterans cannot forget. If they wanted to, the treat ment of hundreds of their poor and de serving comrades at the bands of Mr. Cleve land when he was president Mr. Jaqnlsh Replies.
