Newspaper Page Textnfortuuate Ctilifornians. If you hear any one kicking at the Of egoii rain read them the following peti tion to tlift governor of California, from Monterey County : To His Excellency James BudJ, Gov ernor ot Calforoia: We, your constitu enta, residents of Monterey county, State of California, and citicent of theae United States, would respectfully pre ent to our notice the following facte, and invite your immediate attention to the tame, with the hope that you. in your executive capacity, may be able to devise some immediate meant ot relief It ia well known that in tbie part of ' Monterey county little or no rain has fallen since a year ago last Febtuary. This, with a scarcity of rain for several years previous, caused a shortage of crops in ail those years, while this year there bag been an entire failure. As a result, in many cases, feed, seed and family supplies are completely exhaust ed, and iu many more are nearly eo. Cattle, bogs and poultry have been dis , posed of to meet our necessities, while hundreds of cattle have starved to death. Our poorest horses we have been compelled to shoot, our next poor er have been turned ont to shift for themselves, or starve, while our best horses are eating the last otjour feed and we have no means witk wLich to pur chase more. Some are away to pasture. and we have no funds with which to pay paatursee or secure their return. We have nothing left to 'dispose of. Our farms are mostly mortgaged for all that can be raised on them, and moneyed men and banks will loan no money on even unincumbered real estate ia this part of the country. Merchants cannot possibly carry thi vast concourse of people, as they can not buy on the long time required by toe consumer. The milling company will furnish no feed or seed until it rains, and then only on a crop and chattle moitage, which, if given, leaves the merchant without security and at once etopa family supplies, and the result must be inevitable starvation. There are families in this community who have lived for months on shorts and bran, others who have lived for weeks on bread and water, and scores who have bad neither milk, butter. meat nor lard in their bouses for weeks on weeks untold. Local committees and county officials are feeding hundreds, but hundreds more which they cannot supply are in teed, and the worst is yet to come. Hay for horses, bran for the cow?, the one pig and the few pouliry which re main, and family supplies of all kinds are needed at once, and. must be had or the most direful results must eoeue. Those people are not spendthrift or paupers. They solicit no chanty. TLey simply aek for facilities by which to help themselves money or supplies at reasonable rate of interest nntil they can secure returns or work at living wages to keep soul and body together. Otheis are eld and infirm, tottering on the edge el the borderland. Theee must be "ap plied. We make no suggestions as to methode. We simply present facts as they exist and leave your mature judg meut to devise the immediate remedy. Should you deem it expedient to com municate with us for aDy furthtr infor mation address our Secretary. Ey order of a mass meeting held in Lock wood Hall, December 12. 1898. J.A. Miller, D O , M.D., Secretary. A Western rtl gious society, according to the' Springfield Redublican, adopted recently a joyful reeolution to the effect that", wise Provide nee,tbrough the in cidents of the war,!iaa opened vast fields for the ad.anctmrnt of Christanuy." This was passed at a time when fifty car loads of beer left the came part of the Weet to be shipped to the Philippines. The Bepoblican is of tne opioion that - ''the beer train is enly the prelude to a .grand and impressive advance of New England rnm and Kentucky whisky for which'a wise Providence through the it cideots ot war' mnst likewise be regard ed as responsible.' How many of tbe Indisob wbo once owned this continent have we ever eon verted to Protestant churches, in propor tion to the number we Lave killed by bullets, and the vices we bave carried a mongtbem? After January 1 railroad passes will be scarce. Fifty-three western roads have entered into an agreement taking the right of issuing passes ou' of the bands of officers of the individual roads and urning tbem orer to committee, the ap proval of which must be obtained before any transportation can be secured by anybody except the higher officers of the larger railway system.

Expansion. Politicians are trying to ring people in to the expansion idea by continually as serting that it ipprogrefsive etyle and that if you would be progressive you must favor expansion. What rot. It has nothing to do with expansion. A man to be progressive doesn't have to buy tip all the property in sight. A farm er with 160 acres to be progressive does nothave to gobble up the adjoining forty acres. He displays bit progressive ideas by doing tome first class forming in an uptodate way. Sj the United States to be progressive should run its government in an uptodate, enlightened way. Uncle Sam doesn't bave to reach out and gobble up the whole world nor even a part of it to be progressive. A great many business men are ruined by putting their irons in too many fires, and it might be the way with nation, and has been iu a good many instances in the world. If it is necessary to annex the Philippines to be progressive, then wheu we bave the Philippines awhile it will be necessary to annex China or some other country. The truth is we have been pro greesive before this exansion idea was thought of by us, the most progressive on the face of the earth notwithstanding the imperialistic pol'cy of some ot them. No nation touches the United Statse in the matter of get up and get. Vie bave a big field already tor progressive pol icies without adding pagan.igoorant.un progressiva people to our country. Some one says we have been in favor or expan sion because e added the western conn try, Louiaana and Alaska to the original country. Nothing of the kind. The country was forming, and the circum stances were ripe fur such movements in order to complete our national bound aries. Even now it another country were to ask admission to our doors we could not very well do any thing but admit il. That would be business and entire ly different from foicing a country into our union. The matter is one that calls for good sense and fairness.and not boll doting methods . Christian scieuc e. The following by Marion Forestall is published by request : Liberty of religious belief Is one thing, contravention ot the laws of reason and humanity ia another. The sturdy Pilgrims who founded this country tf ours believed, as we well know, in religi one liberty; but when sickness laid iu band upon tbem or tbeir childern, we may be sure that they hesitated not to use orthodox rerreJitra, doubtless some that were anything but palatable. A man with the brain of the late Har old Frederick owed it to himself and the worid to leave no means unused that might result in his recovery. It it only charitable to suppose that bis Christian -Science "care-taker," aave the mark ! fondly deluded themselves and him into the belief that all was going well. There may be a germ of truth iu tbe notion that people can cultivate a atate of resistance to disease, and even old school physicians admit that will power in a patient ia a strong ally. But when a man's boose is on fire, does be calmly sit down ard -'think" out the blaze, abd tell bis helping neighbors to do tbe same? ''Futfrummit," as tbe sapient and sensible Samamba remarks a tew times. It tbe arrest of Athahe Mills and Kate Lyon, the English attendants of the la mented novelist, will result in nothing more than a good scare to tbe Christiao Science camp, there will be something gained; and tbe fanatics may learn, in time, to discriminate between a trifling ache or pain, which a mental "pow wow" will neither help nor binder, ag gravate nor cure, and a sharp, well-defined malady the neglect of which is criminal, and to be dealth with on crim inal groends. It will take awhile to curb the Span iards left on the island of Cuba. Tbey wiil be s'owto givs up tbeir offices and igbts as lords of tbe manor. While tbe United States has military authority there the Spaniard will bave to behave himself, but a soon as tbe island gets under tbe government uf tbe Cabact a it mnst eventually, then look out for trouble. Some day it ia probable tbe Cubans will wish that they bad become a part of tbe United States, but nntil tbat time tbere should be no annexation. Cuba should be allowed to use bar own judgement in tbe matter. There has been an international con ference in Hime for the suppresiisn ot anarchy.' It is hoped it does good . Tbe people of all nations should rite op against that class ot men who wish to take tbe government into tbeir bands. The red flag should be downed at tbe first tackle. Tuere is no room for it in the same atmosphere with tbe stars and stripes. For Linn county to receive twea'y two premiums at the Omaha exposition ont of one hundred twenty seven for Or egon it was a acompliment that should not be lost track of.Thia Is more than we generally get at tbe so called state fair. Let all tbe roosiers crow and set the calliope going. James Hamilton Lewis is an expan sion:. This is not surprising to thobe who have been ia the habit ot teeing him expand himself until he almost burst in two in tbe halls of congreas. After all there is not very much politics iB the matter, so great it the difference of opinion in the parties. Oregon will be tbe greatest prone country in the world. We are already doing b lively business in this most healthful of fruits. THE PLACE TO BUT Vour Groceries and Baked Goods Is at Parker Bros. Everybody ki.owe where their place it.

To make up a very acceptable Bret part, titers are two rirst-iiass comedians, ban Alliimn and billy Clarke, witli Hay mond Teal a good secotv! ; the inevitable boy tenor, who unjt well ; a double q iai. tet. with harmonious voices; new and really funny jokes, and, further pr.ise to Mr. Henry, no chestnuts; DngDt scenery and, bent of all, an rrchestra at once tuneful ami deli iously smooth. On the other aide of the footlights, a thousand peoule who know a aooi minstrel show when they see it, were delighted.. The band is a good show in Use! I; .JO people in it, all ot whom can play. Mr. Henry's work on the cornel in the olio brought forth applaus--. Teal and Baker made an amusing team, and did a turn wbich, in the main, was new. It was all tunny, Dan Allmen reappeared to amuse the audience with a ridiculous dialogue and several catchy tongs, which did not les sen his nonularitv. Morton and Elloit put on tome new things in the line oi musical specialities, with work in pyer that was little thort of wonderful. The concluding number was by the acrobats. Contra brothers, who are, as they are billed, marvels. Tbey are the naest art ists of their kind ever seen in rortiaou and their act waa a leatare of the rr lor nuance. Sj in the musical, comeJy and specialty features, Hi ffeory a min strels are a success. The Modern M- thcr lias found that r tr little ones are .re proved more by the pleasint Syrup of Figs, when in need ol the laxative effect of a gentle remedy, than by any other.
