The Atlanta Con stitution suggests Hendricks and Hill A bill passed both houses of the leg islature last week to extend the time for completing the State Agricultural College building on the farm west of Corvallis. Our citizens should sub scribe the money immediately so as to be ready in the spring to commence erecting the new building. The Agri cultural Colleges of the several states are to become the foremost schools in the United States. They are the school where Agriculture in all its branches is to be taught practically, as well as in theory. In fact they are to be the farmers schools of the United States, where the youth of the land can learn to combine science and theory with the practical cultivation of the soil. If every person who ought to contribute, shall give a little, the task of raising the money to put up the building will be easily accomplished. The election of John H. Mitchell last week as United States Senator was a surprise to some, that it occurred so soon. After the Oregonian's abusive and beligerent attitude on Monday proceeding his election, it was apparent to nearly every one who reasoned from cause to effect, that his election was almost sure to follow. While Williams was the choice of this paper, yet we always bow with due respect to the will of the majority and believe that as John H. Mitchell made Oregon a good and faithful senator when in the senate before, that he will perform his duties as well another term. Many whose preference was for other parties bow to the reeult with great felt and humble satisfaction in the belief that it is a re pulse to such repulsive and disgraceful qualities of journalism, as has charac terized the course of the Oregonian for the past ten years. The Oregonian of one week ago last Monday was a fit subject for a ring of prize fighters and reminded one of the bell weather of that kind of a crowd. During the last ten years the "Oregonian" has been on every side of most important questions. It has been Independent, sometimes feigning Republican, and many times advocating some of the ab surd Democratic theories; and at times within the last ten years, it has opposed and fought with diligence, all the prin ciple public improvements of the State not contributing immediately to the benefitof Portland. The "Oregoni an's" claim, to the effect that it urges its opinions with force can only be ac knowledged by saying that it urges its opinions many times in a very abusive and dogmatical way, which the "Ore gonian" may construe as a forcible manner, but abusive language never adds force to journalism, but too often is a disgrace to the profession. The writer has read the "Oregonian almost constantly for twenty five years. Up to about ten years ago, it was editor ially an able and consistant journal, so much so that it inspired its acquain tances with confidence, but for the last ten years it has been the opposite; abuse and a disposition to vibrate about on all sides of public questions has been the rule. The "Oregonian can no doubt do much good as a newspaper if it shall keep within the bounds of re spect and if it shall again become in the editorial care of some one with fixed and steadfast convictions of prin ciples, it may agaiu become powerful, editorially, but it must ever remain weak so long as it mistakes abusive epithets for the forcible argument of pinions. The greatest artesian well in the world is in France, it is 1790 feet deep and flows half a million gallons of wa ter per day. On the 12th of the present month it had rained almost steady st San Fran cisco for five days. The total rain fall for the month at that time was 8 and 7-100 inches. A pretty good rainfall in a place where drouth is common. THE UNPROTECTED PUBLIC. Treaties were made between the United States and China, through the efforts of the republican party and un der that treaty laws were passed by a republican Congress to prevent any more al moneyed Chinamen coming into our country to sap the butter and bread from our laboring people. The pres ent democratic administration has vir tually annulled those laws and treaties liecau.se they prefer Chinamen to white people, and hence through democratic policy the laws are not enforced, to pre vent Chinamen coming to the United States contrary to law. The chinamen are not to blame for coming here, it is doub,e aQj twii.tf;d Aroericj the fault of the present democratic ad ministration in annulling the law. People not only violate the lav when thev take the law into their own hands I " i to abuse Chinamen because they are here or because they come here but in doing so they alsooppose and insult the dignity and policy of the present dem ocratic administration. If people will wait patiently, time will bring thse things all right. When the people f the Pacific Coast get an opportunity to vote at another Presidential election they will certainly rebuke in unmistak- ible terms the present democratic Chi namen's administration, and when the republican party is again elected to power in the National government the present Chinese administration in the United States will soon be abolished and the republican party will then as sume the reins of government to obey the wishes of the people and will ad minister the government under the laws and treaties instead of nullifying. If the people will give the present democratic Chinese adininistiation rope enough it will not be long in drawing to an untimely end. VIA Oregon Pacific S R. and INE STEAMSHIP One of the main reasons letding to the difficulties with Chinese on the sound is that ever since the restriction acts of Congress under the treaty with China, Chinamen have 1 e 'n smuggled across the sound from Br ish Colum bia, into Tacoma, Seattle and other towns on the Sound. The government officials who'lely neglect and refuse to properly guard and prevent the Chi nese coming into the United States un lawfully, and therefore some of the hot headed and misguided people of the Sound seeing that the laws of the Uni ted States were disregarded and violat ed by U. S. officials in permitting Chi namen to be smuggled into the coun try right under their noses, took it up on themselves to violate the law to keep Chinamen out. The democratic presi dent dont care how much laws and treaties are trodden under foot and vi olated if thereby the Chinese are per mitted to come into the United States I Will... :.. i . ...:n i c. contrary to lav. The anti-Chinese ! ae ' Vrd. sat U Z " rZ ZZ The following from the Roseburg Rjvew so aptly fits the disturbances at entertainments at Corvallis where hoodlums always disturb the whole as sembly to such an extent that every person becomes disgusted, that we pub lish it in full as fellows: "When people go to an entertain ment, and pay their money therefor, they expect those having charge to keep such order as those attending will be able to hear. There is no use t5 de pend upon marshals, secret police, or sheriffs, not that they are inefficient, but in all public assemblies under the statute, any person having charge, is clothen with authority to keep order. Such dissatisfaction has been expressed by persons attending that beautiful play, "Above the Clouds," last Monday night at the Hall, that these liuss are called firth. The Y. D. Band gave us a good play, but they are responsible for the inexcusable bad conduct of the hoodlum element. One concentrated. in hoodlum can mar a whole evenings enjoyment, j Hereafter if those in charge of public meetings can not restrain the unnecess ary noise, and annoying confusion, which prevents people from getting the value of their money, let the money be returned, or else .ve must consider that money nas been ODlamea under false pretenses. We have heard an almost universal complaint this week about the noise interfering with a proper ap preciation of the drama last Monday evening. Sentence after sentence was lost by the audience not being able to hear. Of course no well bred boy or girl, man or woman will misbehave on such occasions. And since the present generation cannot afford to wait for the 'evolution'' of a better race, or the 'survival of the fittest,'' (and the "fittest" might possibly be the element, that is giving the people now on the stage of action so much trouble,) a higher intelligence should at once re strain and correct these "tendencies," or faults."

On the other hand the present demo cratic administration has done much worse, in permitting the laws and treaties of the United States to be vio lated and annulled because of the fail ure to enforce them. If the laws and treaties were faithfully carried out so as to prevent any more Chinamen from coming here, the people of the Pacific Coast would doubtless be satisfied to let those remain who are already here until they disappear by death or from natural causes. The democratic ad ministration in nullifying the laws and treaties by failing to enforce them so as to prevent Chinamen from coming here, has been the great cause of the riotous outbreaks on the Pacific Coast against the Chinamen. It has been one of the studied policies of the pres ent democratic administration since it came into power to devise means as to how it could lot all chinamen into the United States, who applied and after arriving here could lie exalted above the white men of the country. Henry Ward Beecherone of the avowed ene mies of the white race and particular friend and advocate of the Chinamar is a close friend and adviser with the present administration, and when pres ident Cleveland appointed Beecher's son as Collector of Customs on the Sound, he established there a faithful friend of the Chinese who considered it foreign to his duties to help prevent Chinamen from being smuggled into Washington -3y, is prepared to transport all the freight and passengers ttSeriog.
