II Is of few days; bift quite a plenty. suascaipnoN $1.50 per yeas in advance. Catered in the PostoStce at Medford, Oregon Medfokd, Fkiday, May 19, 1803. The result of Mr.Leadbeiter's visit did not change material!' the condition of railroad affairs, except that date for positive operations were set for June 10th. The gen tleman seems sanguine as to the commencement and completion of the contemplated projects. There are people who think their neighbors houses need painting beca use they neglect to wash their own windows. This is true of al most all mankind. The film over our eyes hides the faults and i im perfections of our own household and magnifies those ef our neigh bors ten fold. j San Fraxcisco has among her population a Chinaman named Mish Go, who has red hair, a light complexioa and blue eyes, and he is also cross-eyed. And with all these attractions the courts of the United States have said that he "mish go" back to his native land and worship his heathen god ac cording to the approved methods of the laud of his birth. The Mail job o3;ce printed the commencement programs for the Medford high school and we are just a little proud of the job. In the vernacular peculiar to slangol ogy, we got a pretty good ''scald'' on that job. If there is anything in the printing line that this office cannot do with credit to itself and patrons it is something that we have failed to find in our fourteen years experience at the business. Much comment is being made over the fact that forty years ago j the Niagara river was dry for ! twenty-four hours. Never before nor smc6 does history record such "'. . .. . . . ... an event, ana it is not strange mat ; those, who' witnessed the silent yicLiuuc nnc ociacu nuu an 111- ; describable feelingof awe. If this thing' was to occur the present Jytf&r-when the omega of all earthly existence is so lavisniy preaictea it would be considered as the index finger pointing toward the puming up and general reckoning of all mankind's earthlv career. The fact that II. H. Warner of "safe cure" fame has "gone to the wall" will have no small effect upon the curative powers of the medicine,' a3 most patent medicines cure to about the extent your faith reaches. A man who is financially a wreck doesn't imbue one with an abundance of faith in himself or his medicines. The sale of the "safe cure" will go down with Warner. It ought not to, but it will. Money is the motive power of all patent medicines and without it they soon die away even faster than those who use them. What is being' done regarding the establishing of that fruit cannery? If we are to make a move in that direction it should be made at once. Procrastination will filch from us the opportunity to secure this much needed institution if we are not alive to its urgent and immediate need. Farmers are, of course, those more directly inter ested and to them is assigned tbe initial step in the matter. Mr. Olwell, living a few mile,; north of Medford, suggests that the farmers meet at an early day and offer, as an inducement to the cannery proposition, to sell their crops at a lesser figure than the prevailing price. Mr. Ohv.ell realizes, as also must every fruit man of the valley, the importance of this move and is anxious for the adoption of some means to secure its permanent lo cation. Our good friend Carson, of the Central Point News, accuses The Mail of publishing a "fishy" story whih, recapitulated, jvas that some one had filed a mining claim on a load of rock which W. V. Cardwell had unloaded by the roadside. While brother Carson is writing of things "fishy" he forgets the extreme long fins which were seen protruding from that etory published in . the News a a couple of weeks ago to the effect that C. W. Palmof Medford, hail jgcovered a three foot ledge which assayed something like $800 to the ton and yet Lincoln Clarke Carson is the authenticated, bound-in-one-volume and unabridged authority on all mining matters of the vast country of Southern Ore gon. The kindly manner in which this encyclopedia of mining knowledge took to the very gauzy job Mr. Palm put up on him would seem to lead one to believe that even Lincoln Clarke Carson was himself a not very distinct relative of the fish family. As the season advances the travel in the district of Chicago increases as does also the populari ty of tho Jyjorthern Pacific railroad. People who have not " had the pleasure of visiting the picturesque scenery aiong this line ought not to loose their first oppertunity to do so. The beauty of the rivers, gorges, snow clad mountain tops, and table lands of Washington and Montana are only exceeded by the wonders of wonder land the Bad Lands of Western North Dakota. Just before reaching the Bad Lands is that ever pleasant and always interesting ride through the Galetin valley and up along the world famed Yellowstone river To the east of the Bad Lands you find the immense wheat fielis of North Dakota and when crops are well grown, as they soon will be, no sight can be more beautiful. A twenty-thousand aere field of grow ing grain is a sight you don't often see. While south lines are always hot and dusty the Northern Pa cific is always cool and rarely dusty. The several varieties of rare and valuable timber of Southern Oregon ire beginning to cut quite a figure in prominence with the other great resources of this most productive valley. Some few weeks ago Mr. S. Sherman, of Talent, prepared an exhibit of manzanita. mahogany, alder, laurel and many other va rieties of wood for the World's Fair Oregon exhibit. The choicest of these were sent to Chicago and a few of them were placed on exhibi tion at Portland. Mr. Sherman now gets word from Portland ask mg f more of these varieties can be procured artd in what quantities? Thus another wheel has leen con structed inside Southern Oregon's big wheel which is so svViftly, and surely, gliding into the world's pub lic prominence. Mr. Sherman re plied to the gentleman's letter to the effect that he did not have hardly as much as ten carloads on hand but that the wood was abun dant hereabouts and that with a few weeks notice he could supply all demands.

THEYIUST RETURN The Courts of the United States De cide the ticary Exclusion Act to be Constitutional. Making Ready to Deport the Chi nese SIO.000 in the Treasury to Defray the Expenses. The Supreme court of the United States on .Monday of this week de clared the Geary Chinese Exclusion Act to be constitutional. There were present on the bench the chief justice and seven associate justices, Harlan being in Tans. b lve ot the associate justices joined in the opinion that the law is con stitutional, and this carried the de cision of the court with it. The chief justice and Uyo associate jus tices dissented and each read a dis senting opinion. Justice Gray 'proitounced the opinion and gave thedfc'sion of the court. . The four justices who joined with him in affirming the constitu tionality of the act were Blatchford, Brown, Shiras and Jackson. Dis senting opinions wert read by Brewer and Field and Fuller, chief justice. Politically they stood four republicans and one democrat for and one republican and two demo crats against the constitutionality of the act. The decision was based on the ground tli.1t every independent na tion has the absolute right under international law to decide who shall be permitted to enter the coun try and who remain and under what conditions. That the nation has the absolute right to restrict or pro hibit the immigration ot aliens into the country, and to. compel those already here to remnye Troin the country, and that this right obtains in times of peace as well as war, is. Justice Gray contented, a well set tled principle of international law .11 in ,j and one which has been confirmed bv a long and unbroken line of Ie- cisions of the new Supreme Court of the United States As soon as the counsel for the Chinese could catch their breath and the eye of the chief justice they moved for a rehearing ot" the argu ment before a full bench, the re hearing to come off at the next term of court, or some time more distant in the future. 1 lie court; solemnly filed out and proceeded to the consultation room, where a vote was taken, and then as solemnly back again, when it wassnniiuuuced that the court refused to grant a It is said that if Harlan, the ah - ' sent member, had been present he ! would h.iVf ioiiwil the Milks of tlw 'dissenters.

It is not thought that the advisers of the young Emperor of China will peace fully submit to the torcible dciorta- Itionot Chinese trom this country. provided that the new provisions ot i the amended exclussion act be en- I forced. The necessity of sending j ' more gunboats to Chinese ports has I been com minted upon. There is 1 great danger of an uprising of Chi ' nese against white immigrants, and ; fears are expressed concerning the pronaouuy ot a repetition 01 tne frightful massacre of a few decades ago. Objections to the carrying out of the deportation of Chinese is the fact that the law could not be en- 1 forced, for the reason that there is no money available for the pur pose. The act only carries an ap propriation of -t 100,000. Secretary Carlisle showed that not more than $16,000 of that sum remained. It rs estimated that it would cost, to deport all the Chinese now in the country who have not complied with the law, more than .fG.OOO.OOO. Under the circumstances it is nndcr stood that nothing could be done, and it is said there is little, if any, probability of the federal govern ment making any immediate effort to put the law into effect. A prominent Portland Chinese merchant upon being questioned on the matter, expressed himself thus ly: '.'Well, that settles it, I suppose. Your highest authority in the land says the law is good 1 don't think we have anything to say. It rests with the Six Companies of San Francisco as to what will be done. If they "say resist, why the Chinese will resist. If the Chinese resist being pent away" the merchant said smiling, "there will probably be a Chinese war." Regarding a telegraphic dispatch from China, published a few days ago that the Chinese government would retaliate by deporting Amer icans from that country, the mer chant said that assuredly vould be the case, and that if any blood was spilt here the Americans "in China would pay dearly for it. In New York City the collector of revenue and eight marshals are awaiting orders to arrest all Chinese laborers who have not registered. They are hourly expecting, orders to preceed. The Chinese will be taken from New York to San Fran cisco and from there they will be sent to China. Dispatches say the Chinese gov- CHflS.

MIXES AS I) MINING. The Mail wants to print all the mining news there is to be had, buj. we draw the line on printing -any inflated mining uproar until the fact of the mine's true worth is fully authenticated.

Some time ago a good man out there raised a beautiful p:iir of '"Iiumside" whiskers for the purpose of catching a pretty widow, and one nicht a cyclone lifted him high, laid him down in' a garden far away and exposed him to the ravages of the grasshoppers. The pests ate his Uurnside whiskers off, and the widow married an insur- 1 mice agent and went to the city to i live. Kansas is still there, but lots j of her people are flying to superior Oregon.
