There has been no time in tha History of this country when the labor question was in need of such careful and immediate attention as at present. Thousands of very poor and incompetent laborers are already saving their scanty earn ings in order to come to America in 1893, if not before. Chicago is already overrun with a horde of lazy and ignorant Hungarians, Italians and Poles, who have not come in search of an opportunity to earn a living, but to prey upon the visitors at the great fair. The time has passed when the United States can be the asylum for the blind and deformed, and still worse the morally deficient, who are cast out by their parent country. The natural effect of this clanish horde that is daily pouring into our midst and mingling with our re spectable labor, is to lower and degrade our own citizens and deprive them of their rights, inoc culate them with the spirit of anarchy and lawlessness. The time has come for the bars to be made higher and the gates more closely examined. On account of the weight of this easily handled mass that this na tion gives the ballot, it is becom ing next to impossible ior an American workman in the large cities to obtain labor. And for a government to allow, not to say invite, this element to our shores to the impoverishment and degra dation of its citizens is almost criminal. It is a breach of the implied contract a nation makes with every one of its citizens. A unrinn. na well as an individual must be just before it attempts to be generous. And no government can claim to be just so long as lionest and competent labor is imem ployed, and unprotected Irom such contamination as must result from the assimilation of this lazy, vermin-infested, anarchy-breeding scum from the scrofulous and lep rous nations of the earth. It is time to awake and act or the day is near at hand when labor in Free America will not be respectable. .Globe-Republican. M.

Sylvester Pennoyer, the govern or of the state of Oregon, is indeed a curious conglomeration of ideas. He has exercised his power to veto bills right and left, but has not been consistent. Two years ago he approved the district fair bill with an appropriation of $3000 each, annually. This year when a bill of the same nature appears repealing the old law and creating a western district composed of the counties west of the Willamette he vetoes it. His veto does not effect the districts already created, as the old law is still in effect regarding them. His veto simply kills the western district. He ve toes the bill because of "local reasons." We would like to know by what process of reasoning he conciliates his conscience to veto ing . this bill and approving the portage railway bill. In both instances the state funds are appro priated for local purposes. While we all acknowledge the fact that the portage railway will be of ben efit directly to the section of the state tributary to the river, why won't the district fair be of benefit to the state in the same proportion as the amount appropriated. He also vetoes the free road to Tilla mook across the Coast range of mountains. From the mouth of the Columbia to Yaquina bay there are many roads, but all are toll roads, and in the building of some of them the state has appropriated as high as $10,000, and still allows the roads to remain in the hands of the people who built themand the people who travel to and fro over them are taxed so much per mile for theiu pleasure. But when this section desires to open a land way of commerce not a water way and asks for an appropria tion for $7500 to build it with and thus make a free road to everyone, at all times of the year, and by far the most practical route across the mountains, this crank which we, as democrats, supported for the position which he now holds, ve toes this bill and thus pays into the hands of a monopoly thous ands of the hard earned dollars of the honest and law-abiding farm ers and business men of Tillamook and Yamhill counties, as well as the other indirectly benefited coun ties of the state. If Pennoyer objects to -the- appropriation of state funds for local purposesvwhy does he support the portage rail way? If the opening of the Colum bia river and the opening of the free road to Tillamook are not both local matters to the sections of country directly benefited we would be pleased to have the astute and abstract Pennoyer ex plain why the free road is and the portage railway is not. The hand writing has appeared on the wall, dear governor, and in letters ' of Roman, "Your name is Dennis." Telephone-Register. Appropriations by various states for the World's Columbian Expo sition at Chicago in 1893 are as follow: Vermont, $5000; Maine, $15,000; the two Dakolas and New Mexico, $25,000 each; Ala bama. $30,000; Massachusetts, $50,000; Iowa, $50,000; Ohio and West Virginia, $100,000 each; Tennessee, New York, Wisconsin, Minnesota, $250,000 each, Califor nia, $300,000; Illinois, $1,000,000. The man who observed that the large rivers generally happened to run close to the large cities has now,; discovered that the firms which do the largest amount of business generally happen to have the largest advertisements in the papers. 1st the manufacture of gold thread for embroidery, a cylinder of silver is covered with gold, and afterwards drawn out into wire. In this way six ounces of gold have been made to yield over 200 miles of gilt wire. Since -the Puget Sound customs district was organized in 1851, no prepared opium has ever -paid jduty. PRICE OR CHEAPNESS. It is becoming generally known that low prices and cheapness are not synonymous terms. The dif ference between the standards of the democratic and republican par ties is well marked. The demo cratic policy is that everything should be cheap; cheap . labor, cheap goods, cheap schools, cheap men, cheap talk. The . re publican plan is to give the labor er pay for his work sufficient to enable the purchase of good goods. Not the dollars and cents expend ed, but the amount of time and labor needed to purchase an article is that upon which its cheapness should be judged. The facls are that Americans buy and use more woolen clothing, meat, wheat bread, etc., per capita than the citizens of any other na tion. They do hot do this because things are so much cheaper here, but because they have the recom pense of their labor with which to buy. More American citizens have a little saving for the time of need that is liable to come to all human ity; more men have a competency saved before they are past their prime than those of any other na tion. In no other nation is it im possible to distinguish the laboring men from the wealthy by their dress, when not actually at work. The American, as a rule, is a well dressed prosperous appearing man. It has ever been the policy of the democratic party to bear a false standard, and at present that standard is cheapness. In every time of great and unusual compe tition, prices fall, and those who must sell are the losers. The work ing man must sell his labor, and at what is offered by the purchas er. He is farthest from market who has nothing to sell, hence the necessity of a market for all labor, as it is the sole capital of the work ing man. Globe-Republican. ARE THEY UNAVOIDABLE! The number of accidents caus ing the death of scores and hun dreds of human beings in a sin gle moment have been so great that one cannot fail to wonder if there is not some general cause tor these oft repeated, disasters in every sphere of active life. Ac counts of mine horrors, railway collisions, destructive, floods, loss of life by fire and tailing buildings form a large portion of the matter in our daily papers. Is science failing to provide a way to guard against the ner and constantly in creasing dangers of life and prop erty that arise with every great invention, or are we, as a people, becoming careless of our lives in our struggle for wealth and posi tion; are we failing to recognize the natural laws known to all, and growing more refdy to take the chances of paying a heavy penalty for their violation? Towering structures in our large cities now count their stories by the dozens, and one has hardly re moved the debris caused by the fall of one before another of still greater height is building upon the same Spot. Year after year come the same heartrending re ports of loss and destruction by floods and broken dikes, and scarcely has the flood subsided ere the remnants of families are re pairing or rebuilding their destroy ed residences and factories, striv ing hard to complete them in time for the next flood to complete the work of the first. There is an un doubted " error v: somewhere, and natural causes - are not willing to take the blame. It costs five ceuts to swear in a certain Grand Rapids factory, and the box which contains the fines, and which is now nearly full is soon to be sent to the heathen. It is strange that it has not occurred to the home missionaries to devote the contents of the box to the work of converting the profane employes: of the Grand Rapids factory, so that there may be no use for such a receptacle hereafter. Ex. V Two Iowa drunks fought a duel with a hatchet and a knife, -and both will die. " Thus the evidence accumulates regarding the disas trous effects of Iowa prohibition. It is a remarkable fact that the three greatest generals of the rebellion, Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan, were born within a radi us of 100 miles in the southern part of Ohio. While Iowa, Kansas and Ne braska are trying to tie all the railroads up to stumps, Oregon offers to exempt all lines built in the next two years from taxation while building and for five years thereafter. Statesman. The active militia force of Ore gon, comprising 1,700 officers and men, is composed of one brigade, commanded by Brigadier-General J. M. Siglin. The brigade is com posed of three regiments of in fantry, one battery of light artil lery, and two troops of cavalry. m CAPFUL PSORIASIS Covering Entire Body with White Scales. Suffering Fearful. Cured by Cuticura. My disease (psoriasis) first broke out on my left cheek, spreading across my nose, and almost covering my face. It ran into my eyes, and the physician was afraid I would lose my eyesight altogether. It spread all over my head, and my hair all fell out until I was entirely bald-headed; it then br ike oat on my arms and shoul ders, until my arms were just one sore. It covered my entire body, my face, head and shoulders heiiig the worst. The white scabs fell constantly from my head shoulders aiid arm?; the skin would thicken and be red and very itchy, and would crack and bleed if siratched. After spending many hundreds of dollars, I was prouonnced incurable. I heard of the Outi cura Remedies, and after using tno bottles Cuticura Resolvent, I could see a change; and after I had taken four bottles I was al most cured; and when I had used six bottles of Cuticura Resolvent, one box of Cuti cura, and one cake of Cuticura Soap, I was cured of the dreadful disease from which I h:td suffered for live years. I can not express with a pen what I suffered be fore using the Remedies. They saved my life and I feel it my duty to recommend them. My hair is restored as good as ever, and so is my eyesight. MRS.
