DODQINQ THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Both Hancock anil English, in
formally accepting the Democratic
nominations for President and Vice
President, dodge the Chinese ques
tion, Hancock treats it with silent
contempt ; English has tout one sen
tence about it, which is utterly desti
tute of meaning. It reads: "The
toiling of our own people will be
protected from the destructive com
petition of Chinese, and to that end
their immigration to our shores will
be properly restricted.'' This is the
vague language of the man who
hopes to be the next Vice-President.
The man who expects to become
President by the votes of all the
Southern States, and such as he may
secure from doubtful Northern States,
has not as word to say on the subject.
What English says is unimportant,
tinder our constitution the Vice Pres
ident can exercise but little power
and less influence, less than a .Senator
or Representative, for he can only
vote in the Senate when it is neces
sary to decide a tie vote ol the Sena
tors. But the President is invested
"by and with the advice and consent
of the Senate," with the power to
make or mend or change treaties.
The President has the first say. The
sense of the Senate is not taken until
the treaty is made out and sanctioned
by the President, or if it is an
amended treaty, until the changes
proposed are agreed to. by tb,e Presi
dent. After that the Senate is called
upon to either confirm or reject the
action of the President. From this
stand point it is clear to all minds
that the opinion entertained by Han
cock on the Chinese question is of the
utmost importance, while that of
English is of no consequence at all.
Why ffien is Hancock so con
temptuously silent on an issue so
vital to the Pacific Coast, and Eng
lish, whose Vic war can have no con
stitutional force, put forward to say
something which means nothing.
Let us examine this matter closely.
President Hayes has sent three com.
missioners to Pekin, charged with
the duty of procuring the consent of
the Chinese Government to such
changes in the Burlingame treaty as
wTIt'bo far restrict the immigration of
Chinese subjects to this country as to
relieve the workingmen and women
of the United States, and especially
of the Pacific Coast, from the ruinous
competition with this class of servile
labor. The work of this commission
cannot be completed before the ex
piration of the term of office of Pres
ident Hayes. If Hancock should
succeed Hayes in the Presidential
office he will have to pass judgment
on the work of the commission. If
it is satisfactory to the Senate he
vrtll'approve it and the Senate will
confirm it. The Senate is now com
posed of forty-two Democrats and
thirty-fitrUT Republicans, and on the
4th ot March, 1881, when Hayes'
successor takes the oath of office
will probably stand as it does now,
that is a Democratic majority of
eight. Of the whole forty-two Dem
ocratic Senators the Southern States
will have thirty-two. These thirty
two will control the Senate, and dic
tate their Chinese policy to the Pres
idents What is the sentiment of the
Swtfb'ow this question ? The politi
erans of that section have always
been the inflexible advocates of cheap
labor, aiid'they-are yet, and Chinese
labor is the cheapest in the world.
It is of unlimited supply, and ' an
unrestricted importation of it would
soon enable the Cooly traders to un
derbid the colored laborers and break
down ail competition.
From these premises, which are
sound in our opinion, it is a logical
conclusion that the Southern Democ
racy do not desire any restriction
upon the importation of the importa
tion of Chinese labor, but rather de
sire it, and will never consent to any
change in the existing treaty, putting
restrictions upon it. Southern states
men have always been the enemies
of the free laboring men of the
United States. They have lost none
of this contempt for free labor on
account of the abolition of slavery.
They hold precisely the same views
to-day as they did in 1859, when
they unanimously applauded Senator
Hammond of South Carolina, for
scornfully nick naming Northern me
chanics the "mud sills of society."
They coutrol the Senate and they
will control Hancock if elected. They
will not allow him to approve any
alteration in the treaty with China
that will in any way restrict Ccoly
immigration. If he should they
would refuse confirmation. He sees
the situation and conforms himself to
it in anticipation of the event.
These are the reasons why General
Hancock, in his letter of acceptance,
dodged the Chinese quest ion.
CAMPING CUT.
From one of those islands of the
sea which within the last quarter of
a century have been reclaimed from
barbarism and taught conformity to
civilized ways. There comes to us
this story of a princess: That while
gladly assenting to the restraints im
posed by teachers and tutors, and
surrounded by all that royalty could
confer to gladden her life, she was
often sad, often found weeping silent
ly. When kindly questioned as to
the cause, she confided to an intimate
attendant that whsn she saw the ser
vants bearing the meat from the
butchers to the cook room she was
sometimes seized with an inordinate
desire to return to the old ways, and
so intense was the longing that she
would, on the impulse of the mo
ment, give half her kingdon, and re
linquish all the bright prospects edu
cation and culture had set before her
for just one taste raw.
If the vast army of campers, which
at this season of the year stretch
their white tents all along the line
from Maine woods to Pacific shores,
would speak out, perhaps they would
confess to something of the same un
tamed and untamable impulse, some
taint of the Gypsy or the Aborigine,
impelling them to flee for a time
from the the confines of four walls
and a ceiling and enjoy the unrest net
ed freedom of a life out of doors.
And why not ? If, as those who
have tried it know, there is recrea
tion, with all that that word implies,
to be found in this way. Then go.
Go learn for yourself. 'Tis not alone
that the romping days of childhood
have comeback again, which gives
zest to the "one bite raw." But an
inate love of the beautiful would
claim communion with its own, and
latent undeveloped powers of being
claim recognition and demand the
nurture and culture to be found in a
more intimate acquaintance with the
Creator through the works of His
hand. "Acquaint now thyself with
Him and be at peace." "From man
unto Go, go forth as alone." Pitch
your tent in field or wood, on moun
tain trow or by the sounding sea.
Lay aside the care that corrodes, the
fear that hath torment, adopt the
simplest mode ot life and know for
yourself.whether the longing for the
woods and mountains is ti e expres
sion of a sickly fancy or a real need
of the soul.
Where "sea of wood in wild un
measured miles" stretches away on
every side, we haye kindled our camp
fires in "Primeval forests, virgin sod,
that Saxon hath not ravished," "Lo!
peak on peak in column set, in step
ping stairs that reach to God," while
below, "the sunbeams break and spill
their glory, till all the vale is full of
noon."
There is more to be found in an
Oregon forest than one could imagine
believe without going to see. It is
as though all the kingdoms of" the
world were here represented in tree
and shrub, and plant and flower, and
creeping vine, a cosmopolitan collec
tion, like the people who have mi
grated hither from all lands to find a
home on these wild western shores.
The giant firs, with their sombre
spires reaching so far above, they
seem to pierce the clouds, would be
a forest by themselves, but beneath
their fringed boughs the more cheer
ful ash ana maples find ample room
to grow and attain to the full stature
of a'tree. A grove within a'-: forest.
Beneath all these the great variety
and beauty of shrub and vine, of bush
and fern and wild woods plant, of
herb and lichen and moss, cannot be
surpassed in any clime. The delicate'
perfume, the leafy fragrance, exhaled
from these, mingling with the pure
sweet mountain air, exhilerates and
delights the senses.
But annoyances will spring up in
unlooked for places, and life in camp
is not a pic-nic Vexations that may
be smoothered in mirth for a brief
hour or two, in time become a weari
ness to the flesh. Wild beasts may
terrify you, mosquitoes will swarm
about you. If you go fishing, the
bunks are such a tangle you must
wade the stream. If you hunt, the
hiding places in which your game
takes refuge will seem as impenetra
ble as an African jungle. Your
bright and pleasant camp fire cannot
be kept up without labor or without
smoke. After a few days you come
to see that smoke and cinders have
peuetrated to the inmost reeesses of
your baggage, and with face awry
and grimy sooty hands and clothing,
you sit, if not in sackcloth, in dust
and ashes. Then yon can under
stand, as never before, the trials of
that good old patriarch who in re
counting the cost of the domestic
bliss of after years, said, "Id the day
the drouth consumed me, and the
frost by night, and sleep departed
from mine eyes."
When discontent has come to stay,
it had better be the prelude to a fold
ing of the tent, and a rf turn to home
scenes and duties to the society ot
loved ones," made by absence doubly
dear.
If our camping out excursion should
do no more than teach us the real
value and right uses of sidewalks and
cook stoves, spring beds and laun
dries, good neighbors, chapels and
the daily paper, it will not have been
in vain. H. E. Johnston.
Iu Camp, Ang..2, 1880.
SILETZ AGENCY-
Mr. Editor : Business called me
lately to this place, and during my
brief stay, only a few hours, I had
the pleasure of noticing the improve
ments and crops. The new boarding
school building is neaily completed;
it is a well built and substantial af-
ftir. Nearly all the painting and
catpentering has been done by Indian
apprentices, under the supervision of
Messrs. Peterson and Shogrin, and
the work shows well, and leaves no
room to doubt an Indian's ability to
do, if given a favorable opportunity
The building will be finished soon,
and school opened under the manage
ment of an experienced teacher, Mrs.
Taft, of New York. The garden or
field connected with the school,
where the young men are to be
taught the science of agriculture,
presents a fine appearance. It is
clean, well kept, and everything looks
thrifty. The lot and building are
surrounded by a good plank fence
with shade trees neatly arranged
The store building is used for a store
and office below, and granary over
head (a place quite essential on a res
ervation) to keep the seeds for the
ensuing year. The store is a model
of convenience, and the stock consists
of goods the quality of which marks
a decided change in the old fashioned
annuity article. I remember seeing
2700 yards of calico purchased in
New York, with just a single eight
yard dress pattern in the lot. The
whole lot was made up of shop worn
remnants, of every color, size and
quality, except good ; blankets that
had cost the government $12 per
oair, were much worse than the sad
dle blanket furnished by shoddy con
tractors during the war, and could
lay claim to J. Ross Brown's merit
" Lo could see both sides without
turning the blanket." The present
system saves the expense of shipping
through so many hands, and gives
the Pacific coast a chance to furnish
the goods needed here, .and is a com
pliment well deserved by the govern
ment, that this branch of the national
department is at last run on an hon
est and economical basis, for in addi
tion to the inferior quality of goods
for which exhorbitant prices were
paid, being a downright swindle, it
was also the fruitful scenes of Indian
troubles and wars.
The crops look well, unless it is the
wheat, and that should be put in iu
the Fall. Mr. Swan is tearing down
the old dilapidated structures that
have marred the beauty of Siletz for
many years, and; as fast as possible,
substituting buildings comfortable
and convenient. The Indians that
work, and who are disposed' to earn
their living by the "sweat of 'their
brow," like Mr. Swan verjr well, but
the other class could get along with
out him, they would rather live on
Tanner's diet than toil like a white
man. Rialto.

FISH WAYS.
Mr. Editor: Following the sug
gestions offered by your paper and
others in relation to the necessity of
a fish ladder or way at Oregon City.
It might be well euough to state that
in an early day, say 1806, '66 and
'67, Yaquina Bay was during the
salmon run literally alive with sal
mon, but since the building of a dam
near the head of tide water, and one
that makes it impossible for the eal-m-n
to pass on up the river and its
many tributaries, the salmon run has
almost ceased. Where we used to see
a hundred fish leaping ont ot the
water, you would look some time to
see a dozen, so rapid and noticeable
has been the decrease. There is no
question, and all works on the habits
of the salmon corroberales tbe evi
dence, any obstruction that prevents
the salmon from reaching it? breeding
ground (fresh water streams) will
result in a gradual decrease, and
finally put an end to palmon fishing.
In addition to tbe fish way at
Oreson City which will enlarge the
area for breeding purposes, as well as
furnish fish for consumption, there
should be a law compelling all per
sons building dams on salmon streams
to prepare a fish ladder. Unless this
is done it will only be a question of
time when every stream or river on
the coast will be closed against the
salmon. Let us gain a little wisdom
from the writers on this important
subject, and while the State js young

The "fearlessness" of Hancock's
epistle is exciting the unbounded ad
miration of the bold Democracy.
"See how boldly he stands by the
Conitution!" He does ; and see
also how nimbly he leaps over the
tree trade plank in the platform.
The Constitution is a pretty safe
thing to strike out for ; for even the
Greenbackers are not opposed to that.
There Is not a word about financial
questions, not a word about tariff,
not a word which could, by the most
1 beral interpretation, be taken as an
indication of an opinion on either of
these two leading questions of the

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.
The following is the platform passed by the recent
Republican convention held at Chicago :
Republican ruie has restored upon a solid basis pay
mmi in ti fnr all the national obligations, and has
riven us a currencv absolutely good and legal and
equal in every pan 01 our exwimtu wuuwj-
liftHl -ho i-redit of the nation from the point where 8
per cent, bonds sold at 86, to that where 4 per cent.
Donas are eageriy souarni. at a pnaiuuuj.
administration, railways have increased from 31,000
miies iu I860, to more than 82,000 nines in ioiw. uui
foreign trade has increased from $700,000,000 to
150,000,000 in the same time, and our exports in 1860,
were $204,000,000 more than our imports in 1879.
Without resorting to loans, it has, since the war
closed, defrayed the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment, besides the accruing interest on the public debt
and disbursed annually more than $30,000,000 for sol
diers' pensions. It has paid 8880,000,000 of the pub
lic debt.and by refunding the balance at lower rates,
has reduced the annual interest charge, from nearly
4151,000,000 to less than $89,000,000. All the indus
tries of the country have revived, labor is in demand,
wages have increased and throughout the entire coun
try' there is evidence of a coming prosperity greater
than we ever enjoyd. Upon tms record tne nepuo
lican party asks for the continued confidence and sup
Dort oi the people, and this convention submits to
their approval the following statement of the princi
ples ana purpose which will continue to guiae aim in
sDire its efforts :
First We altirm that the work of the last 21 years
lias been such as to commend itself to the favor of the
nation, and that the fruits of the costly victories winch
we have achieved through immense difficulties should
bo ureserved : that the dissevered union now happily
restored should be perpetuated and that the liberties
secured to this generation should oe tran-;mitteo un
diminished to future generations : that the order es
tablished and the credit acquired should never be im
periled ; that the pensions promised should be paid ;
tnat the dent so mucn rtjaucea snouia oe exunguisneu
bv the payment of every dollar thereof ; that the re
viving industries should ever be promoted, and that
the commerce aireauy so great snouia oe encourageu.
Second The constitution of tile United States is
the supreme law, and not a mere contract of confeder
ated states. It made a sovereign nation. Sonie pow
crs.are denied to the nation, while others are retained
by the states, but the boundary between the powers
delegated and those reserved is to be determined by
national and not bv state tribunals.
Third The work of popular education is one left
to the care of the several states, but it is the duty of
the national government to aid that work to the ex
tent of its constitutional ability. The intelligence of
the natiou is but the aggregate ot the intelligence in
the several states and the destiny of the nation must
be guided not by the genius of any one state, but bv
the averageenius of all.
Fourth The constitution wisely forbids congress
to make any lf.w respecting an establishment of relig
ion, but it is idle to hope that the nation can be pro
tected against the influence of sectarianism while
each state is exposed to its particular domination. We
therefore recommend that the constitution be so
amended as to lay some prohibition upon the legisla
tion of each state and to forbid the appropiation of
the public fudsto the support of sectarian schools.
Fifth- -We reaffirm the belief avowed In 1876 that
the duties levied for the purpose of revenue should so
discriminate as to favor American labor ; that no fur
ther grant of the puclic domain shoulu be made to any
railroad or other corporation ; that slavery having
perished in the states, its twain barbarity, polygamj7,
must die in the territories ; that everywhere the pro
tection accorded to American birth must be secured
to citizens by American adoption ; that it is the duty
of congress todevelop and improve our water courses
and harbors, but we insist that further subsidies to
private persons or corporations must cease ; that the
obligations to men who preserved it integrity iu the
day of battle: are undiminished by the lapse of 15 years
since their final victory ; their perpetual honor is
and shali forever be the greatf ul privilege and the sa
cred duty of the American people.
Sixth Since the authority to regulate immigration
and intercourse between the United .states and foreign
nations rests with the congress of the United States
and its treatv-making powers, the Republican party,
regarding the unrestricted immigration of Chinese as
an evil of great magnitude, invokes the exercise of
that power to restrain and limit that immigration by
the enaetnient of such just, humane and reasonable
provisions as will produce that result.
Seventh That the purity and patriotism which
characterized the earlier career of R B. Hays In peace
and war, and whioh guided the thought of his imme
diate predecessor to him for a presidential candidate,
have continued to inspire hiin in his career as chief
executive, and that history will accord to his ad
ministration the honors w-hich are due to an efficient,
just and courageous fuliflluient of the public busi
ness, and will honor his interposition between the
people and proposed partisan laws.
Eighth We charge upon the Democratic party the
habitual sacrifices of patriotism and justice to a su
preme and un.-atiable lust for office and patronage;
that to obtain poession of the national and state gov
ernments, and of the control of piaca and po.-ition,
thev have obst-uctod all the efforts to preserve the
purity and conserve the freedom of suffrage, have de
vised fraudulent returns and certificates, hrve labored
to unsfat lawfully elected members of congress to se
cure at all hazards the vote of the majority of the
states in the house of representatives, have endeavor
ed to occupy bj- force and fraud places of trust given
to others by the people of Maine, and rescued by the
courage and action of Alain's patriotic sons, have by
methods vicious in principle and tyranical in practice
attached partisan legislation to appropriation hills ;
have crushed the rights of individuals and vindicated
tiie principle and sought the favor of rebellion against
the nation ana have endeavored to obliterate the sa
cred memories of the war to overcome inestimable
good remits, freedom and individual equality.
We afiii-m it to be the duty and purpose of the Re
publican party to use all "legitimate means of this un
ion to secure the perfect harmony which may be prac
ticable, and we submit to the practical sensible peo
ple of the United States, to say whethe, it would not
be dangerous to the best interests of our conntry at
this time to surrender the administration of tbe na
tional government to a party which seeks to over
terow the existing policy under which we are so pro.--prous,
and thus bring destruction and confusion
where there is now order and confidence and hope.
