SUBSCRIPTION .$1.50 PER YEAR Bntcrsd In tho Postomca nt Medford, Oregon M Seoona-Olass Mali Mltv Things are coming to a hopeful pass when a New York alderman arefuses a $5000 bribe and tells of it, . Late advices Horn P.kin are to the effect tbat the empress dowager once more has her authority on straight. " Doubtless some of the North Da kota divorce lawyers have already sent their business cards to- Quetn Wilhelmina. Although kiug hdward s coro nation is to take place in June the confident expectation is that it will be an august ceremony. In her lecture on "Mere Man Sarah Urand, advising the wives eaid of the husband, "Feed him and flatter him." 0, Divine Sarah! The description given of the cos tumea worn at the diplomatic . re' ceptions indicate that an Oriental circus is wintering near Washing ton. The United States is now the world's fourth nation in point of p pulition. When you consider quality instead of quantity it is easily first. Melbourne has pledged undying sympathy with the mother country in its troubles. England should at once dispatch this sympathy to the froutjanJ try it on the Boers. A Brooklyn jury has awarded 38.500 to a woman who incuned a stiff finger as the result of a rail way collision. The company ought to be ? tnankful her whole hand wasn't stiffened. Sir Robert Ball's predictio: that another glacial period will come, when a great field of ice wili eweep across the hemispheres. crushing, grinding, benumbing all things for hundreds of thousand? or years, and in its nature worse than famine, flood and pestilence, is Bafe enough. It isn't due, he Adds, for several thousand 'years. At Nashville, Tenn., the other day Admiral Sjhley was address ing the students of the FUk colon d university, f'e bad spoken at some lergth and was warming up to hit subject when Mrs Schley, sitting be Und bim spoke to him in an audible tone. Schley then faced the aadi ence and said: "The woman be lind the man behind the gun Bays cease ta;k';ug, and 1 shall have to tid you good day." It is evident that the admiral will not . fall into the habit of ' a'king too much bp some of our other great soldiers and sailors have done, as long as he keeps bis wife at his elbow. The plan for a penal ciljiy for anarchists seems to meet the an archist situation the most thorough ly; besides there is a poetical side to the idea of letting the anarchists work out their theories on them selves. A fertile island, capable of .yielding its inhabitants a bountiful living with an average amount of labor, should be chosen, and the anarchists should be deported there and left to themselves and their theories. la order that no doubts might be raised as to their having a fair show, tbe government might support them for a year or two and supply them with all the imple ments of industry and the comforts of a high civilization. After such a period, let them work out their own destiny, the government only taking care that no one should escape from the island. It is a safe conjecture that under such. conditions the an .archists would have the r theories -changed by close experiei.C'8 with practical affairs. An unwarranted attaok was made last week in the Enquirer '-upon GoverLor Geer. A parallel was made of the fact that the governor pardoned Smith, the Jackson County murderer, and did not pardon Wade and Dalton, the Portland murderers. The catst were in no ways similar. Smith was convicted on circimit-tuntii-.l evidence while it was a c.uifrssinii of t'le crime that convicted W.ide and Diiitou. In the case of Smith petitions of great length were cir cular d in the county ut.d were signed by hundreds of people ask ing that he be pardoned at.d Tmk Mail will wager that three fourths of those signing the pardon we.e democrats. AJedforu has a great many citizens who are warm, stead fast friends of Governor Geer who do not believe this rot about his pjaying fttvnri'es for re-election and while this is true it is just as well true that these same friends of the governor and tue entire re publican party are g'ving but a iuke-warm support to their de clared, and tried and true princi pals when thev drop their dollars into the Enquirer coffer, thus en nobling that blasphemous rag to in suit their very best friends and the principles which they have fought for four years. INJUNCTION FILED. Th Suaact TefopboM Company ha Piled aa injunction Kesiraining; meoiora wuy au tboritles From Enforcing; Ordlnaaca. From ihe Oregonlan. By a temporary injunction, granted yesterday in United States District Court, the entire city government ol the town of Medford, in Jackson County, was restrained from taking any action toward the removal from the streets of that town of the telephone and tele graph lines of the Sunset Telephone & Telegraph Company. April 8 is set ae the date for a hearing in the matter, if the authorities of Medford desire to show why the injunction should not be made perpetual. December 17 laat tbe Medford Council passe I an ordinance requiring, among other things, that the telephone com pany should pay into tbe city treasur) au aunual license fee of 8100; tbat tbe monthly charge for telephone instru ments and service should not exceeu 81 50, and that, il the telephone com pany sbouid fail to comply with the terms of the ordinance by February 1, the city, authorities should proceed to cut down and aestroy the lined in tbe city. The ordinance was approved bj Mayor Crowell the same day it wa passcd by the Council. The city hai- made demaud upon tbe company to comply with the t-.-rius of the ordi' uauce, aud too company has respect fully declined. To avoid destruction if 1 s property and to get the matter be lore the courts for adjudication, thi. telephone company presented its po tillou lor lni auction, accompanying 11 with a long statement of tbe relation of the cumpauy aud the town of. Aleu- ford. The company recites that It Is a Cali fornia corporation; that it is authorized by tbe United Slates Postal Depart ment to transmit Government mes sages, telephone and telegraphic; thai it has for a number of years had its lines in unquestioned operation in the c ty of Medford, giving the city no trouble and contributing to the con venience of doing business there; that the license fee of 8100 exacted by the ordinance passed last December is un reasonably large and oppressive, and entirely out of proportion to any extra service that might be required by the city g ivernmeot by reason of the pres ence ol tbe lines in the city; tbat the monthly charge of $1 50 authorized by the ordinance is inadequate to the sup port of so snial I an exchange, the num ber of subscribers there being only 60; tbat tbe ordinance in question vio lates tbe United States Constitu tion in several particulars, the chief one being that it seeks to impose re strictions on interstate commerce. The petitioner admits that a license fee of $20 might not be unreasonable. The injunction order naineB tbe Mayor, all the Councilmen, the City Recorder and tbe City Marshal, ar.d commands all to refrain from molest ing or in any wise interfering with the business or property of the Sunset T iephone & Telegraph Company. Papers were eerved upon all of the abi yi officers last Saturday. It is prob able tbe matter will be attended to .'n Portland by an attorney employed in that city by the city councK of Medford.

AUSTIN & SON IBILI If present imlloutions count for any thing the oily of Medford bids lull' to increase in wealth tu,d population with in the ui-xt few yet rs to an extent hitherto unknown in its history, founded ulghtoen years ngn as a way station on Hie Southern Piu'ltlo, with the old established towu 0' Jauksonvll'o Are miles wost unci Ashland twelve miles south, it has slowly grown princi pally by its favorable gvogr.iphlual loca tion almost in the cooler ot thu valley, uutll It lias become one ol the most important shipping points lor iho produots of .laokson County. Very slow was that growth at first, hut It has been steady all through. There has never been a boom In M.-dlord, consequently no reautton. Even dur ing the years ol the "hard times" the growth of the town was not perceptibly checked. It has now reached the point when, conditions being favorable. It may bo expected to expand Into the chief city of Southern Oregon within a very few years. It is the opinion if thu writer that those favorable conditions are piesont, and the reasons for this opinion wo will endeavor to set forth below. The frutt Industry, not in Its Infancy, it Is true, but still far from having reaobed its lull development. Is one of the foundations of this opinion. Med ford lies iu the heart ol 01-e ol the greatest fruit-growing districts In the known world. North, south, east aid west for miles the soil Is nearly all adapted to the successful growing ol fruit. Only a comparatively small acreage of this laod has been planted to fruit yet ; but more and more is being put out each year, until eventually the central portion of the valley wKI be come almost a solid orchard, inter spersed with waving Holds of alfalfa or gardens of small fruits.

Eistward, only a short flvo miles away, the Soutl era Pacific Company Is dulviug into trio earth, seeking it bed ol coal, which its geological experts, who have a record ol sixteen years, with never a failure, belfnd thorn, have declared is there. As soon aB the development work proceeds far enough several hundred men will be employed. M.-dford will naturally bo their trading point, and the com from tho mine will a'l pass through this city, as thu near est point-on the main line. Coal near at hand and 1I13 favorable situation of tho city as regards handling the freight traffic ol the valley will unite to mako Madford the proper place for the end of a railroad division, with all that menus to a young and gro .ring town.
