He has proven himself an efficient and trustworthy j officer, and has discharged his duties faithfully and to the best interests of the government and the Indians under his charge.

All these are events of the past. Gsneral Howard has been instructed by President Cleveland to keep all posts of the western Platte department in full strength, and be prepared for any emergency that may arise in Utah by reason of any hostile demonstrations or outbreak by Mormons, and other ganerals in reach will receive similar instructions. The withdrawal of the mail service between San Francisco andj the Aus tralian colonies next November is of a more serieus nature than many sup pose. Our exports to that place since 1874 have increased over 240 percent., xclusive of specie, which is a larger ratio of increase than te any other part of the world. poses, after which skilled labor of that character capable of starting and carry ing into practical operation all kinds of manufacturing in Corvallis. When these things are accomplished the pro ducers can gain a better price for every thing they hare to sell and also find a ready market at all times at home. COMMENT ON CLEVELAND. It is stated that Hugh J. Mohan, of San Francisco, an ardent admirer of Cleveland , and who stumped the state of New York by making 153 public speeches last fall in the presidential campaign, and who also pawned his household goods to raise sufficient money to carry him through the cam paign and who since Cleveland was lected has had an earnest and persist ent desire for the collector of customs at San Francisco became much disgust ed when the President a few days ago told Mohan that he should give the po sition to a business man. Mohan sug gested that the president did not stop to inquire whether he was a business man when he asked him to stump New York state and spend all his money in doing so, whereupon Cleveland advised him to return to San Francisco and use his influence with the collector who might find something for him to do. Mohan certainly finds himself a victim of misplaced coufidence under democrat ic rule. He no doubt feels tha t a man yrho would forget his friends and bene foctors is not worthy to become president. A Washington dispatch to the Chi cago Herald, a democratic paper con tains the following mournful and heart rending criticisms upon president Cleveland. "What's Cleveland giving us?" ejac ulated a Tammany brave. "Who have iiaimo wjwi ejaculated a bombastic Bourbon. "Is the demo cratic party running Cleveland or is Cleveland running the democratic party? inquired a gazelle-eyed Chicago man. "Give it up," replied a San Francisco sand-lotter. "Does the dog wag the tail or the tail wag the dogi'' deman ded an aspirant for a postmastership in the tar heel state. "What does Cleve land mean by conferring the Berlin mission upon Gentleman George Pen dleton, the civil service reform idiot?" complained a federate brigadier. "Who in thunder is Phelps, that a Vermont, maple shugar, alleged democrat should represent the administration at the court of St. James?" expostulated a stalwart exponent of democratic prin ciples from Posey county, Ind. 'Things are certainly not of the Jack sonian order," suggested a Tennessee state bond repudiator. "Where does Jeffersonian simplicity come in?" ar- guea a V irgiman from the tide-water country. They are a part of history, which should be full of instruction. They teach that the south was for the south and southern rights and southern wrongs against the protest of every Christian nation and against the warn ing voice of those who had fellowship and sympathy with the south 's politi cal views. The protest that patriotic citizens have made against the appointment of notoriously unrepentant secessionists to places of trust in the federal govern ment is not directed against the men but against the bitter sectionalism they represent. When Jefferson Davis, on the 21st of January, 1861, rose in his seat in the senate of the United States as the representative from Mississippi the state of secretary Lamar to an nounce that his state had seceded and that he would retire with it, he boastfully and bitterly declared that Mississippi "surrenders all the bene fits and deprives herself of the advan tages, severs all the ties of affection which have bound her to the Union and thus divesting herself of every burden, she claims to be exempt from any power to execute the laws of the United States within her limits." The man who agreed with Jefferson Davis in this expression of sentiment, who at the close of the war defended the Character of J efferson Davis in the senate of the United States, is to-day a cabinet officer of the government, so far forgetful of the past that he un blushingly puts himself on public rec ord as a sectionalist pure and simple. A New York wool merchant who deals mainly in Pacigc coast wool says: "California to-day grows better wool than it ever did. Certain manufactur ers here will use nothing else. The market is rather quiet, but look for a big improvement within a short time. Prices of all kinds of wool have fallen off 10 to 15 per cent., compared with last year. If it were not for burr and seed, for which there is no remedy, Cal ifornia wools would be preferred to the products of other states. The bulk of the wools from Oregnn are now coming here direct. The clip is in better cou- uiuuu man it nas oeen in tor years and we notice on the market a lighter snrinK in wools, caused by these direct shipments. Formerly the best Oregon wools were sold in San Francisco, to scouring concerns there." Rest Machinery; IN THE WORLD. NEW TAILOR SHOP. FRED.

The "Oregonian" is a good paper, and the people take it and ap preciate it for its news. So the "News" under its present management has grown from a failure to what bids fair to second to none in the state, and while the "Oregonian" bears its fight on the grounds that the "News" has published items copied from other jour nals without giving those journals proper credit. Yet the "Oregonian" should remember that up t the time when the "News" was started by Mr. Cole that of the items extracted by the "Oregonian" from the country press all over Oregon it failed tr give credit for more than one-fourth of them. For the last couple of years the Oregonian has been a little more considerate in this particular, for what reason we do not know or care. But one thing certain since the "News" was first started the course of the "Oregonian" has been much more fa vorable to the interests of the people, and for this reason' alone the people should lend a firm support and help ing hand to the "News" while also the "News" is an able paper and well con ducted and worthy of support upon its merits. WHO REVIVES SECTIONALISM? Democrats claim that Republicans continually revive the old issues of the war and the questions which led to it but the following which appears from the Albany "Journal" shows other wise: "A gentleman who called on Secre retary Lamar recently had inquired concerning some appointment was somewhat amazed at the following re ply: "I care no more for a northern democrat than I do for the northern republican. It is simply a question of north and south with me." Any one v ho is familiar with the history of America politics knows that the south made slavery an issue from the time the constitution was framed. It fought tenaciously in congress for slavery, and when defeated it took up arms and finished the contest on the field of battle. The end was the com plete overthrow of slavery and the hu miliation of the south. The south has u e j.i .1 -i- myrttjo uccu iUl nie soutn. just as soon as the democracy of the aorth refused, under the pressure of public opinion, to follow the lead of the slave states, the whigs lost their hold on every state beyond Mason and Dixon's line. From that time on the south stood al most solidly together, compelling the north to make a compact for the pres ervation of the Union. So completely did the slave states control the democratic party that in 1859 (in the midst of a general upris ing in the north against slavery) their representatives in the senate farced the majority to pass resolutions declar ing it was the duty of congress to pro vide protection to the rights of the slave holder when the government of A DEMOCRATIC SCHEME TO RU1.I JOHN ROACH IN FOREIGN INTERESTS. A recent dispatch contains a very plain argument by John Roach the noted Amer ican ship builder: John Roach, when interviewed on the subject of his.failure.jsaid: "Stiictly speak ing, it is not a failure, for my assignees will be able to pay $2 for every $1 of liabilities if they realize anything hue the real value of my property. I cannot now say what is the exact amount of my liabilities nor ast-ets but if I were not so old a man and if 1 had my health I could put things straight again. If the people understand this mattei, if the mendacious free trade press had not so ex tensively deceived them, the failure of John Roach would be recognized from ocean to ocean as a national calamity. This is a party question. I have been a republican, out above that I have first, last and ever been an American. It was my great ambi tion that our nation should recover its glory and prosperity on the seas. I wanted to prove that American merchandise made bv American workmen in American shops could be sold the world over through the medium of American ships, built from iron rolled in our shops and of timber cut from our own forests. I wanted to prove that we could do business on our own boltoms, and that other nations, with less resources, could not be more sagacious and enterprising on the seas. I have given mv life and my fortune to that end. Iraduced and abused by those men and newspapers whom the foreign interests have subsidized, and brought into scandal with millions of my fellow citizens who were deceived by them and who did not understand my purposes, in my old and enfeebled state and after half century of toil I have lost my money and spirits, but I am consoled by the fact that the people will one day uuderstand it all and see it in its real value, I tell you those boats were condemned before their keels were laid. They were condemned in con gress. The democracy dare not oppose our new navy, because it had become a popular notion. Trie people in the United States wanted a navy, but the democracy opposed the appropriation because, as they claimed in their congressional speeches, the money could not be honestly spent. The Dolphin, a strong, substantial, excellent vessel was condemned on the most purile technicali ties, and to add to this injustice Attor neey General Garland has repudiated the contracts, and practically said that there exists no building agreement between me and the government. That capped the cli maxbusiness stagnant $30,000 of weekly wages to pay, my works to maintain and contracts 'repudiated. " Hacks. PACIFIC COAST DEPARTMENT. OFFICE: No. 7 Powell St. Corner Market.
