The Chinese in this country who seek to prevent the extension ol the time dur ing which tbe exclusion act shall oper ate, and tbeir sentimental white sympa thizers, are already conducting an active campaign. Their papers throughout the Ei.t and the South are in impassioned editorials urging opposition to the reen actment of the law. The New York Journal of Commerce argues that there never was and never will be any danger of a serious influx of Chinese to this country ; thst only a few ship loads of them came after tbe first importation of coolie labor to build the Pacific railroads ; that they all come from one section of one province, and residents in other provinces show no desire to emigrate; that they are industrious and form a val uable labor element ; that a continuation of tbe policy of exclusion would deprive tbe people of this country of all the com mercial advantages gained during the recent troublea in China. The answer to all of this is that it is not troe. The people of the Pacific Coast krtow that the "few ship-loads" brought thousands of Chinese to these shores, and that they were coming in increasing numbers when tbe exclusion act attempted to shut them out- They know that after twenty years the Asiatic laborers are Still endeavoring to defeat the purposes of tbe exclusion act, and that they are being smuggled in by way of Canada, Mexico and Cuba. They know that the Canadians are awakening to the evils of this class of cheap laborers and consid ering (he enactment of an exclusion law, They know that the exclusion act is based upon treaties to which the Chinese government has given its consent. They know that if there were no desire on the part of the Chinese to enter this country there would be no need for the opposition to tbe extension act. Nor id tbe activity of the opposition conQned to editorial protest. A memo rial to Congress, based upon the propo sition that to travel and to make their homes in aDy land are natural and in alienable rights of tbe human race, is being widely circulated for signatures. If this basic principle is sound, our government is violating it daily. The immigration laws exclude paupers and criminals of every race and coming from every country. The principle that self defense is the highest law of nature for nations as well as for individuals is rec ognized by every civilized government. The right to exclude undesirable immi grants is universally recognized. The nlmorial claims that if any European government attempted to shut us out of its territory we would complain bitterly, and it would probably lead to a declara tion of war. If this government assumed such a position, it would have to reverse its immigration policy. Tbe memorial has even been introduced into this state, and is being circulated for signatures. It is not probable that it will be very j widoly signed. The people of California have already overwbelmiugly expressed their opposition to Chinese laborers ! coming hero to compete with and de grade dee w hlte labor. This active rampalgn must be met by equal activity on the part of the friends of exclusion. With the opposition of the representatives of the Kant and the Soutti, there is grave danger that the law extending the policy of exclusion will lail of passage. The Chronicle, of this city, is doing good work In its al moat daily appeals for action. The Ar gonaut began pointing out the danger eighteen .nonlhs atio. Nevertheless, all ol the friends of exclusion must aland together in the present crUU, and we welcome the Chronicle' assistance. Let all the other psivr of the eosst and all of the people of the coast, without regard to party, follow its example. Argonaut Last week in Portland Scottish Hite Masons purvhased the entire block bound1 ed by Morrison, Yamhill, Thirteen and Fourteenths treets.which was the home of the late Frank IVkum, snd subsequently occupied by the defunct Oregon Road club, for foS.OCO, and wi:l erect a mag nificent cathedral on the property. The building will be constructed of white marble, and as much of the material as possible ill be procured at home. The lower floor will be devoted to reception rooms and a well-equipped library, while the upper portions of the structure will contain the various lodge-room and busi ness othVes necesHary for the transaction of the athirs of the Oram! lodges, sub ordinate city lodges, Scottish Hite Masons, the Myotic Shrine, and Grand nd subordinate chapters of Eastern tar. Portland has obtain. 'J a national reputation as a city of beautiful homes and this structure will add much to the appearance of tbe residence section. I'NKHK MNH SKIP..

This, of course, will break all the records, if it come. The largest wheat crop ever harvested thus far was ttiat o' lS'AS, which was 675,000,000 bushels, and none has come near that previously since li'Jl, when the yield was 613.nrt),000 bushels. Europe's yield is apparently going to be considerably short ol the earlier expecta tions, and there will be a market on the other fidq of tbe Atlantic fur all the wheat which the Cnited States will have to spare. .

Tub Enterprise offerred to do tbe county printing as cheap as it is done in any county in the state but tbe Boaid does not want to uphold a Republican paper and is jockeying with tbe politics in it. There are not three republicans in the county but what will say the offer of tbe Enterprise should have been taken. Ex-Secbktabv of War Alger says that the beef scandals had nothing to do with his retirement from the cabinet and that his forthcoming book, to be published In September, will show up the whole mat ter. Tbe book will be bound in calf. Wa would like to ask the county boaid why it is necessary to go to Portland for any county supplies. Nearly every thing can be made in this county and things that can not, people in this county can furnish.
