WHAT THECHINESE THINK OF US
We- are in' the habit of express
ing out views freely in regard to
the peculiarities of the Chinese,
their customsv clothes, politics, in
dustries, and so forth; but it is com
paratively a rare thing to meet
with a statement of Chinese opin
ion touching American ways and
institutions. The very opposite
ness of their stand-point gives a pi
quant interest to the impressions
they form of our national character
istics. Here is a recent utterence of
the" kind which is attributed to the
Pekih Gazette. Speaking of the
Americans, a writer in that journal
is quoted as saying: uIt is impossi
ble to understand these barbarous
people. One .thing is certain: If
they do a thing they do it with all
their might. Thirty years ago they
had a civil war. The whole country
was turned into military camps
and' battlements, and everybody,
even to the women folk, were en
gaged in the war in one way or an
other, and one army numbered 2,
000,000 men. And now there are
young men, old enough to vote,
who have never seen a company of
&oldiers in their life. In fact, these
people seem to think that another
war will, never break out, especial
ly in their part of the world. A
person1 can travel clear across the
American continent without seeing
a soldier, and follow the main lines
of travel, too. In fact, at the pre
sent time there is only about one
soldier for every 2,000 persons,
while Russia has one soldier to
every 90."
BUST AT WORK.
President "Warner Miller of the
Nicaragua Canal company has
been very busy since his arrival
here. In some cases he has united
pleasure with business. He has
set about to get at least $1,000,000
Irom California so he tells his
friends and he hopes nearly twice
that sum before he leaves the
ooast. If Oregon will not sub
scribe $500,000 it will not be Mr.
Miller's fault, for he intends to go
there and work and talk and ex
plain as earnestly as he has done
and is doing here. It is current
report that two California many
times millionaires have already
become interested after conferen
ces with Mr. Miller, and that the
latter gentleman is consequently
very much . encouraged. S. F.
Bulletin.
Why should people who own land
be favored by the government and
those -who do not own any be left
out in the cold? There are 11,000,
000' working people in this coun
try;, and in their bodies there is
the possibility and potency of
many, hundreds of millions of dol
lars' worth of labor. Why not issue
money on this stored-up labor, as
well as on stored products of labor?
If the government goes into the
business of loaning money in this
way, it must treat all alike; and
some way will have to be devised
for loaning money to everybody.
This is the logical outcome of the
sub-treasury scheme. .-
The Lousiana Lottery Co. now
guarantees the farmers of the Pelican-
state that if they will vote for
the company's state charter at the
coming election the company will
loan them money at one per cent,
per annum. This is a soft snap
for the Lousiana farmers, who will
doubtless avail themselves of the
offer: They can get money there
foe. one per cent, and, if so disposed,-cart
lend it elsewhere for
eight, nine and ten. It is probable
that the ranks of Lousiana farmers
will be . rapidly increased should
the proposition receive an majority
vote.
THE NEW SUBSIDY LA W.
The passage of the mail steam
ship subsidy bill by the last con
gress has 6 tart 3d men engaged in
ocean shipping into ac.tivity. ' The
New Orleans chamber of com
merce is vigorously pushing the
project of a new steamship line
between that city and Central
America. In New York, the mer
chants and manufacturers are
making arrangements for the ex
tension of trade with Latin Ameri
ca which will come with a quicker
communication, consequent upon
direct steamship lines from that
city to South America and West
India ports. The great Pacilic
Mail Steamship Co. has notified
the postoffice department of its in
tention to greatly improve its mail
service, by enlarging its fleet and
making quicker time. This means
two or three more fine steamships
in the China trade, as well as
quicker and better communication
by sea with Mexican and Central
American ports. 'Trade follows
the flag." The subsidy law puts
upon the ocean new' steamships
flying the American flag, and giv
ing us quick and direct mail com
munication with the countries to
the south of us. A large increase
in our trade will rapidly follow as
the result of the subsidy law,
which supplements the reciprocity
treaties in progress. Toledo Blade.
Foktunes acquired by chance or
by a single jump into some field
of labor are few in number.
When the idea that a fortune or a
fat office is awaiting him, if he
only happens to find it, takes pos
session of a young man, he has
then fitted himself for the box
whittler's, the tramp's or beggar's
duties and position in life. The
habit ot day dreaming and build
ing air castles is as hard to over
come and as fatal to success in life
as is dishonesty or intemperance.
But nothing so thoroughly damns
a youth to a life of poverty, the
latter half of which will be spent
in drudgery, and in doing unpleas
ant jobs for industrious persons,
than to be possessed with the idea
that he is sharp enough to make a
good and fairly honest living with
out work. The fact that one has
this idea is positive evidence that
he is below mediocrity. A way
to success is open to the average
boy, though the resting places are
not the saloons by the wayside.
A reasonable amount of labor with
only a fair intellect insures a fair
amount of success. The freedom
allowed Young America to-day is
as much a detriment to the con
ceited and indolent individual as
it is advantageous to the more
sensible and energetic. Boys will
be boys, but not all boys will be
men though they live a hundred
years. Globe Republican.
. While Oregonians were enjoy
ing ideally perfect weather Satur
day, their friends in California
were sweltering in a temperature
of 105 deg., and the people of
Iowa, Kansas and Colorado were
dodging cyclones, hailstones and
streaks of lightning. It is a won
der the roads leading to Oregon
are not blocked with pilgrims seek
ing the promised land.
Out of the seventy million silver
dollars that should have been in
the treasury when" the cash was
counted a short time ago, but 69,
999,999 were found. The other one
is probably sticking to the bottom
of one of the bags that held - them.
Dispatches from many points in
Arkansas say Jefferson Davis me
morial meetings were held, at
which subscriptions were collected
for a Jefferson Davis monument.
The wheat harvest in Oklahoma
is almost complete. TWyield is
estimated at not less than twenty
five bushels per acre. Crops of all
kinds are very promising.
It is said that Jay Gould is in
favor of the sub-treasury scheme.
He has tppay six per cent, for the
money that he borrows, and would
like fo get it for two;
During the year ending' April

What the citizens of Corvallis Bay
about the Pacific washing machine.
We, the undersigned citizens of Cor
vallis have seen the Pacific Washing
Machine work and do most cheerfully
recommend it to all who need a first
class machine. It does its work thor
oughly and in a remarkable short time,
and without any labor so to speak.
It is all that it is claimed to be, and is
the best machine we have seen used,
and does its work better: Mrs. S. N.

THE BRAVEST FIVE HUNDRED.
Very few people know that in the late
civil war, out of the thousands of heroes on
the rolls, but five hundred were awarded
the coveted distinction of the medal of hon
or. The record of many of the exploits for
which the medal has been given shows that
they have been as grand as any in the age
of chivalry, and that they shed a brilliant
luster upon our national escutcheon. A
new work just published tells the story of
many of these heroes. It is grand, thrill
ing, exciting. Among the stories told by
the boys in blue themselves are the follow.
ing: "A Minnesota Boy's First Battle,"
'Fighting Joe's Men," "A Hero of Antie
tam," "Foiling an Assassin," "The Soldier
Scout's Story," "Three Thinking Bayonets,
"The Salient at Spottsylvania," Mars and
Cupid at Gettysburg," "At the Cannon's
Mouth," etc., etc. The work is beautifully
illustrated with battle scenes and war pic
tures, also portraits of the gallant men who
won the medal. Such a work is sure of an
enormous sale in any community. Every
old soldier's heart will beat with pride in
reading it, and those who love deeds of
daring and adventure will be infatuated
with the modest, manly way in which these
brave men tell their story. The work is
called "The Bravest 500 of '61." It is sold
only by subscription, by the well-known
publishing house, The History Company of
San Francisco. We call attention to their
advertisement in another column.
. TORTUKINGT ECZEMA !
Editor Iowa Plain Dealer Cured of In
uffttrable Itching; and Palo toy the
- Cutlcara Remedies.
No Irfssa Than Five Physicians Consulted,
Their Combined Wlimom Followed
Without Benefit.
I am sixty-six years old. In August,
1889, was troubled with the peculiar skin
disease to which people of my age are sub-
J'ect, known among medical men as eczema,
ts first appearance was near the ankles.
It rapidly extended over the lower extremi
ties nntil my legs were nearly one raw sore;
from legs the trouble extended across the
hips, shoulders and the entire length of the
arms, the legs and arms greatly swollen
with an itching, burning pain, without ces
sation. Although the 'best medical advice
attainable was employed, no less than hve
physicians of the place being consulted and
the prescriptions tx-iog the result of their
combined wisdom, the disease, though ap
parently checked, would recur in a few days
as bad as ever; during its progress my
weight fell away about twenty-five pounds.
As an experiment I began the use of CcTI
cuba. following the simple and plain in
structions given with the Remedies, and in
four weeks found myself well, with skin
soft and natural in color, the itching and
pain entirely relieved. W. R. MEAD,
