Tlie "Statesman" thinks if a mule wero 10 find a civil servico reformer in the Treasury department it might kick him and htrain both hind legs. Don't be alarmed for tho mule's safety the "civil cervico reformer" species is extinct. Tho young women "of Philadelphia are to have enlarged facilities for T nircrsity instruction. Thcro are now four lecture rooms (and probably a fifih will be added) in tho Uni versity of Pennsylvania to which girls arc admitted. The business of setting up presiden tial candidates still goes on and yet the niachino politicians can't tell who is - .m i - tin- -u-"-tc! nrucii cci- youVand the people- 'will.knock thcmW iiko a ton pin if they don't sbuit them. Forestalling tho action of conventions is waste of time. Since the holidays Congress has been exceedingly dull. The politicians are President making, and all anxious not to alarm the people. Tho bristles of the Brigadiers arc not as orect and sharp as they were through tho special fcession of Congress. All hands are Avilling to wait. Sensations aro defer red until Jioxt winter. The Wardon of tho Stato Peniten tiary must bo an exceedingly careless man. About every three days the fcalem papers announco the commuta tion of tho sentence of a couple more convicts cause, "good conduct in extinguishing fire." If tho authori ties arc not more careful the fire will "get awav" with the wholo outfit somo of these days and then his Clemency's occupation will be gono. Democrats are making a great "fuss" over a proposed changp in the manner of clioosiii" Electors. In 1801, tho immortal Jefferson, supposed to be the guiding star of the Democracy, was elected liy electors wholly appoint ed by State Legislatures, receiving 148 votes out of 17G. 'Washington was elected in tho same way, and tho mode should not bo objected to now. Postage to tho Sandwich Islands from any part of the United States is to cost only inland rates. A person ,& ro-r-ajs-ber flliilnnau to JNewYork than would now bo required for it to circum na iatc the globo. Yet toe maximum of cheapness is far from lxu leached. Postal mono orders, for oxample, arc many times more costly than they (should be. "iiic uiiM.tr. wthT ." The Chinese question in .San Fran cisco is assuming a serious aspect, and there secmes to le the most imminent danger of riot and outrage. This is tho legitimate result of tho apathy -of tho Federal government and the viola tion of its promiso to modify tho treaty. If tho Chinese can bo starved out of California it will bo all right but the government should interpose its power to prevent murder or riot for if o'nee commencod no ouo knows whero it will end. Unfortunately the starving pro cess includes many whites as the stop page of mines and manufactories not only throws Chinese but whites out of employment. The government aud tho philanthropists at tho East might as well sea that some stops must be taken to effectually check the influx of the Chinese. F.U1I.E 1 ICEL.LM). The following picture of famine is telegraphed from London under date Feb. 20. A. correspondent -nrites from near Galway: "It is a terrible state of pCii Fifty families here eke out - existence Their , temea ars small heaps of dirty stones, their land is rock and soft bog, and hunger and want aro everywhere apparent. The people go naked and without food. Many are slowly starving to death. Such scenes of appalling destitution I never beforo witnessed. Every step wo took brought before our view a new and more fearful picture of desti tution and suffering. The more we saw the more certain did death from starvation appear inevitably the fate of every man, woman and child on tho island. Gaunt, thin and pale were the faces of men who were naturally of herculean build, and the features of the women and children were overspread h the gastly jmllor of hunger. In many cabins children crouchod shiver ing and almost naked around the fire, and when I entered they sprang be jiuii men uioiuer, wrnsf single gar ment, a thin dress, wss lut the s' V est protection agar -t t. - vtud whw, blow through the Uck- r of Or. -ne fire was the dinner, e pot of brown greet pa J. ;s certain that un less thev nrn w rar J fr uoe: ., will lie of ttrvatufi TC'.'f.T.-T.lH 'tWS'MV.U2iZXX2XZt the rrurjx's m sinus The Democratic 'Times" is trying to divert the attention of the people from a very serious matter the poor houso steal by calling it a personal matter and dismissing it with the remark "that thejpublic has no interest in it what ever." This will not do, Mr. Nickell. It is, in every essential, a "public" matter, and one in which the tax-payers aro interested. Tho extravagant bill of this county for keeping the "Stato poor" has been paid into the pocket of the contractor so far, it is quite an individual matler; but when tho State Auditor declines to submit any longer to public robbery, and return it to our treasury it will be a matter of some lit tle public interest With this paper it is not, nor could it bo personal. We would not injure any man's busims wilfully, but our first duly is to tho public, and we will do it, regardless of jn" BT.tripninis. JVo coulaiiot .In- juro tho contractor 'if ve -wished, as "his bills are jid and tho money safe in his pocket, whether the county is ever reimbursed or not. There is another "public" aspect of this question. In most civilized commu nities the unfortunate objects of public charity aro treated with humanity. Hero they have been crowded in a placo that has bred foul stenches that forced Grand Jurors to ivpcatodly cry: shame! and if it was filthy and noiaomo when prcjtared forthe inspectionof official visi tors, what in tho name of God must it bo under ordinary circumstances? Step out Judge Day. You shall not shirk this question, and answer argu ment by personalities. It is two coun ty oflicials,not "Tumcr,"that is on trial. The question is not whether Mr. T. has been a bad or a good man; a debauchee or a saint; a horso thief or n whining religious impostor it is simplywhethcr tho peoplo aro being robbed or not, and tho bunion of taxes made still heavier by criminal oxtravaguncc. Not a singlo charge made by tho Sentixei. is dis proved; not a singlo allegation is met. Indeed nil is admitted, the contractor saying that ho was to have the contract, provided he put up additional buildings, proves that our charge of collusion with the County Judge was true. The contractor says "he was the lowest bid der" of course he was 1 It was under stood that he was to bid low for the county took and the Judgo was to tap the Stato treasury by makin nrivr.fo rrmlmrl ' '-- - hl w - whole Let the peo never objected to tho county price. cording to the contract, or 53 per week; the same as allowed the keeper of tho Insane Asylum,) but God knows it is enough, considering that tho poor are kept more like dogs than human beings. It is to tho "special favor" price, .$21 per week for tho State poor, that wo object, and wo ask Judge Day what right ho lias, just after making a con tract for one clas of paupers at 3 per week, to make aspecial contract for an other and filch SIC per week from the State for every tramp he ami the Dr.? could pick up. We now make another charge. Wo say, and have the proof. that all last Summer, Day'f. hospital was so offensively lousy that naur.crs choso to beg on tho streets o"f Jackson ville, rather than to go in it. And still another. Wc charge that the con tractor instead of using the new build ing, as agreed upon, for tho county poor, used it for private patients and huddled the county poor into a room hardly fit for a dog kennel, the stench of which was so intolerable that "smoked buckskiu" would be an "altar of roses" in comparison and this in the very heart of a civilized community. Don't talk about "wicki-ups" Judge Day, until you purify this public of- fence,and until ou make good the theft from the public treasury. Now, there is "part" of the imlictniont. JmW nr.

Editou Sentisel: I havo heard and read a great deal about the necessi ty of building tho wagon road to Cres cent City, but it looks to me as if the road would go asleep again. I think tho enterprise was not started right. Instead of circulating subscription lists for the benefit of a company, there should havo been organized a company, after which a subscription list for stock should liitvo been placed in every pre cinct This would have given tho farmers something for their money and and given them a show of owning shares in tho road. In this manner, by proper management, they might have secured a control ling interest and thus ayoid tho necessity of half a doz on outsiders obtaining control, perhaps to tho detriment of the interest ami welfare of our own section. xArremrds tho stock. I would Bay. put the sliarss at 25 (-ach to be paid in four equal installments; in this man ner many would tako one or two hun dred dollars worth of stock who would otherwise not give a cent. As to tho payments thoy might bo made in this way: Tho first payment to bo mado at the commencement of the work; the second payment when one-fourth of the road is completed; tho third pay ment, when half is completed; and the fourth payment when three-fourths of the road is built, of course, a provision should be adopted that those who fail to pay their installments when they 1k comc due, shall forfeit what thoy have already paid in. I know a number of men who would like to take threo or more shares if an arrangement could be made by which they could "work out their shares. In tins way, Mr. Editor, I believe wo could easily raiso the money for building tho road; and if not, then let us go down to San Francisco anil induce the merchants of that city to take the remaining stock. Further argument with the peoplo of Southern Oregon I believe to bo entirely unnecessary, as b'ythis time nverv ono of them must know "that ttieir mianciai salvation aepenus upon a direct outlet to the sea-coast, 'on the shortest route. They should know al so that their farms would increase in value from 50 to 100 per cent, besides receiving cash for their produce. And being enabled to pay in cash instead of buying on credit in the stores, our mer chants could afford to sell at least, 20 ., , , Sotf ys than one would io wSSCnrCTito the coast benefit us. Tho goods and merchandise consumed by the peoplo of Southern Oregon is now shipped to us from from San Fran cisco either by way of Heading or Roseburg. Our freight, delivered in Jacksonville, costs us about ?80 per ton, whereas if -wo could receive it via tho Crescent City route, it would cost only 50 a saving cf thirty dollars, or S1S,000 on six hundred tons. But this is not all: Our farmers would get San Francisco prices for their produce at Crescent City, whereas now they aro compelled to pay railroad freight on their produce shipped to San Francis co cither from Koscburg or Heading. If wo onco havo an outlet our trade, will increase., and the time will speed ily come when v,o will havo manufac tories of various kinds. Our splendid water power and fine timber will at tract speculators, to say nothing of tho mineral fertility of the Southern tier of counties. But as matters now stand. without an outlet, we cannot expect much increase. A man is buying a farm to-day, say, at 3,000 or 55,000, only for the privilege of working hard the year round in order to make a baro living and to pay taxes, but if we have an outlet ho could in a short time make a fortune with such a placo.
