THE HOPE OF DEMOCRACY. C hina is having a rude awakening from her dream of invincibility against foreign invasion. When she started into this war sne confidently expected to make a break­ tail of Japan and then be ready to dine on any nation that espoused Japan's cause. Her reliance was in the multitude of her people, and she expectsd to overwhelm everything by physical strength. But it is a case where the battle is not to the strong. A progressive civilization and disciplined armies are an overmatch for the Chinese rabble There is now great consternation in Peking lest the invaders capture the capital ¡»self. Whether Pe­ king be taken or not, the Japanese enjoy a great advantage from conducting the war on Chinese soil, and in drawing their supplies from the enemy's territory. China will have to feed the Japanese armies, as well as fight them. L et the new tariff alone; give industry and trade a chance to recover under stable conditions; let all Democrats stand togeth­ er for good candidates and sound princi­ ples; so shall Democracy triumph in New York this year and in the nation in 1896. That was the gist of Senator Hill’s forcible and persuasive speech at Saratoga last week. He was as judicious in what he left unsaid as in what he said. For ex­ ample, he wisely refrained from renewing his criticism of the income tax, which he now doubtless recognizes as a Democratic part of a Democratic measure, cordially approved by nine-tenths of the Democrats in the country and by a very large number of other persons. I t is reported that Franc’ and England are on the verge oj war, but there seems to be a diversity of opiuions as to the cause therefor. The cabinet ministers of both countries have been recalled from their va­ cation and the situation seems to be se­ rious. A European war has been predicted for years past but has not come, still the failure of the prophecy makes the struggle is none the less iuevitable some day. Something is necessary to relieve the strain now imposed upon the nations of Europe and war is the only remedy in sight. __ Choice Homes For All- ThtfSe wishing homes should not fail to atten 1 the administrator s sale of the Amy property in Central Point precinct, which will take place on the premises on October 15th.

Hill is a game cock who al­ ways keeps his spurs sharpened, ile is ever ready for a fight, regardless of the odds against him, and if he goes to grass in one round he will be up and come to time on the next with his face wreathed in smiles. He possesses the quilities that make him a superb leader for a for­ lorn hope, and that is why his services are so valuable to the New York Demo­ cracy at th s time. Like Henry of Nav­ arre his plume will be the rallying point for the scattered and demoralized forces under his command and where he leads they will follow. It is evident from the tqne ->f his speech, that Mr. Hill realizes the gravity of the situation and the al­ most hopelessness of his cause, yet he sounded a bugle blast that will arouse the slumbering army to arms and inspire them with fresh courage. It is also evident that the Cleveland faction fully realize the dangers that environ the administration, or they would not so readily have sur­ rendered to tlie Hill and Murphy crowd. They know that the administration is on trial in the Empire state, and their cause is utterly hopeless without the leadsrship of David B. Hill, and it will be almost a miracle if he can pull the Democracy out of the pit into which the administration has cast it. Hence, Senator Hill again becomes'a national character, and rises to the dignity of being the foremost man of his party. Hill has everything to gain and nothing to lose in this campaign. He is on record as having opposed all the stumbling blocks in the way of Democratic success. He opposed the president’s Ha­ waiian policy, he was against silver de­ monetization, tought the tariff bill with such resolute courage that he was ostra­ cized by his Democratic associates. Now, if tne Democrats lose New York in the coming election, Mr. Hill’s skirts will be clear. The blame will lie at the door of the Cleveland administration. And if the Democrats win the fight, Mr. Hill will get all the credit for it, and he will at once be­ come his party's idol. So that no matter how the battle goes it will come.HilTs way. His is a very exalted position for a party leader, and the present conditions indicate that David B. Hill rather th, n Grover Cleveland is the one man bigger than his party.—[Portland Telegram Rep.

KLAMATH LANDS. the MILITARY RESERVATIONS AT KLAMATH INDIAN RESERVE. W ashington , Sept. 12, 1894. The Honorable Secretary of the Inter­ ior—Sir: I have the honor to acknowl­ edge the receipt, by reference from the de­ partment, of a letter ’ August 5, 1894, addressed to Hon. J. .4. Dolph, United States senate, by the Indian agent at Klamath agency, Oregon, and copy of a letter from one of my predecessors in of­ fice, bearing an indorsement of Senator Dolph, inquiring “if the reservation men­ tioned cannot without delay, be surveyed, appraised and sold without further legis­ lation.” In reply, it is proper to state that those parts of the military reservations without the Klamath Indian reservation, may be surveyed, appraised and sold without further legislation. The history of the reservations, “Fort Klamath” and “Fort Klamath Hay Reser­ vation,' is briefly this: The two reserva­ tions were reserved for military purposes by executive orders dated April 6, 1869; they were relinquished and transferred to the department of the interior by execu­ tive order dated May 4, 1886, for disposal under the act of July 5, 1884 (23 Stats., 103). Between the dates of the executive orders mentioned above, the township, 33 south, range 7% east, containing said reservations, and the northwest corner of the Klamath Indian reservation, was reg­ ularly subdivided, in 1872, into sections and quarter sections, no attention being paid to the boundaries ot either one of said reservations, which are laid down on the plats (copy enclosed), as detailed i 1 a letter from the surveyor-general for Oregon, dated July 11, 1873, as follows: “I also caused to be traced upon this township plat the military and hay reservation at Fort Klamath made from the field notes of the same. Accompanying the letter from your office to my predecessor under date of May 27, 1869. There is no mention made of this reservation in the field notes of the survey ot the township for the reas­ on that the deputy had no knowledge of the existence of any such reservation. The reservation had not been represented upon :he official maps of this office; I therefore was ignorant of the existence of any such reservation until since the return of the surveys ot Deputy Owen, I came to the knowledge of the fact by looking over the files of letters from your office.” The field notes mentioned do not state that any corners were established and marked upon the ground. In one sense the lands within the reservations have been “surveyed,” as stated in the general land office report for 1891, page 149, but as said so-called sur­ veys do not properly fix the boundaries and corners, for appraisement and dis­ posal, I will at once give the necessary di­ rections to fully carry out the provisions of the executive order, dated April 6, 1869. Five, and possibly six full quarter sec­ tions of 160 acres each are embraced within the hay reserve. Please advise this office, at the earliest convenient dote, whether these full quarter sections alkali be subdivided into 4©-acre or a tracts. (See section 2, 33 U. S. Statutes,, 103.) For ready reference, I inclose $ photographic plat of T. 33 S., R. 7^ E., upon which the full quarter sections are marked with a red cross. S. W. LAMOREUX. Commissioner. THE HUSTLER GETS THERE. There is no good reason why American farmers should feel apprehensive of the future, says the N. Y. Times. There must be competition. It is the way the world is made and nature organized. The fittest only survive and rise, and the weak go down and stay at the bottom. And fitness in the human race is simply a question of intelligence. Thus, the school is the index of the standing of the people. And when we see that in the United Stales there is $1.35 expended for education, against 30 cents expended for, not war, but self-defense against possible attack, and iu some countries which most com­ pete with us in the industries, the cost of education amounts to 70 cents only against $4 spent for war—which is practically war, in everything but actual fighting and kill ing, and in one country only 3 cej^s is given for education,against $2.04 for war, the results cannot but be vastly in favor of our country against the competition of the whole world. With honesty in public affairs, such as these ought to be, demo­ cratic economy in expenditures, the ab­ sence of unjust class or personal privi­ leges, skillful work on the farm, and con­ stant increase in intelligence among farm­ ers, there need be no fear whatever that we shall ever lose the foremost position we have so far secured in every branch of industry, together with the consequent wealth. PICKETT AND THE ARCHIVES. Light Turned on a Hidden Chapter 01 Wartime History. F-ank Riggs, the son of the famous banker and his father’s successor in the dnancial circles at Washington, tells me an interesting story that corrects a false impression which many good peo­ ple have carried for years. During the second term of President Giant a man of the name of Pickett sold to the gov­ ernment of the United States the rec­ ords of the executive departments of the southern confederacy. From these documents was obtained much evidence that prevented the payment cf claims of southern citizens who pretended loy­ alty for losses growing out of the war. In a single instance they saved several millions by showing that mail contract­ ors throughout tho south had been paid from the Confederate treasury for serv­ ices performed by them for the postofiice department of tho United States before the outbreak of the rebellion. They proved to be of great value in many oth­ er directions, and the price paid Mr. Pickett for them, which was some­ thing like $60,000, proved to be one of the most profitable investments ever made by the government. Pickett had been the chief clerk of the Confederate state department or held some similar office which made him custodian of the archives. When President Davis and his cabinet fled from Richmond, Mx'. Pickett eaited the records away and hid them in some place flint escaped the Beaichtr.s of the Union ariny, and tlw manner of their liEappeuranee was a mystery until ti'. y ■ zero ¿eliveii d to Secretary Fitii. It was always believed that Mr. Pickett •»dated the money, und he wo. uui- •.■er.edly condemmxl by soutlie 11 people for belraying the secrets of the lost ■.au::e for a 1 rice. “The i'i'.cts have never been told,” •aid Mr. RiggF> “for Mr. Pickett exact­ ed tho Strictest pledges of secrecy from my fatker i:i Tegard to the di. ¿0. itiou of the money. But both cf them are lead now, and there is no rc;v:oa why ;he truth should not be known. Mr Pickett never bad the b; uellt of one cf (be money he received from :lie govr riinient for tLoso records.

Pickett made oat the list of the people to whom ho wished it sent, ¡.'he checks were all signed by mv fa­ ther. Each one was accompanied by a letter, which he prepared and which my father signed, saying that tlie iuclostux was forwarded at the request of a gen­ tleman who felt an interest in their welfare, but for reasous of his own de- ired that his identity should not be liscloseth The accouut was carried for several years, and all the checks and vouchers are now packed away iu our bank. ’ ’—Chicago Record. Stopped Smoking to Save. Xerxes joins determined to quit smok­ ing, not, you know, that it had any baneful influence upen his health, but solely for the reason that he didn’t feel justified in spending 25 cents a day for the weedy luxury. Jones had a good disposition and began his new scheme u Sunday. ‘‘Seeing I've quit smoking, 1 11 put an extra quarter in the collec­ tion box today,” he mused, and in the "■’ent. On Monday, just to please his little wife, good Jones bought a 40 cent box of mixtures and handed it over with the remark: ‘‘No, my dear, it’s no extrava­ gance. Just about what I saved on ci­ gars today, and we both can enjoy this after tea. ” Tuesday Jones bought a 50 cent toy for his little boy out of the cash saved by abstinence from tobacco. Wednesday he changed his dining place down town from a 25 cent to a 50 cent table d’hote, feeling justified in spend­ ing the extra quarter saved on cigars. Apparently forgetting this on Thurs­ day, the reformer remarked to himself: “There’s that new umbrella my wife’s been talking about. I’ll buy that and charge it up to two weeks’ savings on ‘smoke. ’ ” On Friday a new dinner set was purchased to please the wife of his heart and set over against 20 weeks’ savings from tobacco, and on Saturday Xerxes Jones spent 25 cents for cigars, having lost six days of his luxury, and figured up that he had “saved on the wrong side of his books just about $38.90.—Philadelphia Call.
