The Review Is- constantly harping on the -county printing," and tries to make ltrpcar that exorbitant rates are bciug paid the Puts oeaucb, and lEat lu its great desire to benefit the taxpayer it would cheerfully do the work for half price. It says: The Review wishes to state plainly that it will print the delinquent tax list mis year ai a raw of JO per cent lower than that paid last year. This will mean a saving of probably W on a single item, and it remains Mjlely with the onnntriwirt nhnhfr ther trill let the work to the lowest bidder, in which cae the saving might be more than 50 per cent. To expose the hypocrisy of the Review, it is only necessary to produce the bills of the Re view for the same work when it had the county printing. They are as follows: January 7, IS33. Douglas County, 10 noseouig Y" 1 VW To publishing 13-3 squares delinquent tax saie aw per square j January T, ISM. ' Douglas County. To Roseburg Review. Ir.

As the Pmypmra bill was only21, it hot what reliability can be placed in the Review state ment. If, as the Review says, the work is only worth CO per cent of the price charged by the ri.TvnriTrt, and the price charged by Puts sraiXE being xorsorc than charged by the Re view, the Review must acknowledge that it has robbed the county out of over WO in the last two years of its innings, on the one item ot delinquent tax sale alone, and to tic cun sistcntent It should pay heck into the treasury of the county the J-XO it has stolen. ALLEY OF "THE WEST." WhenTa man advertises himself as only the friend of the neb and too rood even to speak courteously of his fellow political workers because he is poor, or advocates what he con eiders the voice of the people, ha is a rascaL That is the kind of political service tbe x'laindealer deals in. Florence West. The PLACipr.,tr.rK invites attention of its readers to the gentlemanly words of praise the West applie to the PT.iTvnrsT.rw. Out of its month let it be judged. The Plaisdealte does not arrogate to itself the resid nary of all Iknowledge or claimto have arrived at the acme of wisdom, but it does claim to be the friend of the laboring man, and gives a reason for the hope that is in its claims, without calling its opponents hard names. DOES ADVERTISING PAY. That advertising pays is sh own by the practice of all successful business men and companies. The circus, which will exhibit here bat one day. will spend about $10 putting up bnl letin boards on which to display their bills, and then liberally adver tise in th6 city papers. They have been in the business long enough to know that advertising pays. If the Beview overcharged the county $600 for printing the delin quent tax list for 1892 and '33, which is as good as acknowledged in its issue of July 15 (and a score or times besides), how much did it get away with during the eight years incum bency of Agee and Miller? It is estimated that 300,000 per sons will leave New York for Europe the present year, About 00,000 will go first class, 40,000 second class, and 200.000 in the steerage. The total expenditure, not including passage money, is roughly placed at $100, 000,000. At tbe Boston meeting of tbe Christian Endeavorers the 13th the rain descended on tbe jnst as well as tbennjnst. It came down in torrents. The meeting was driven frotii the Commons to tents, where 15,000 found seats and about 30,000 went home.

Without tbo city can command tbo water bo as to be able to flood the sewers wbeu nnaul Dm cmrore urn .if 1 in In imn. The city should own the water works in connection with the sewer age. If the city owuod the water works it would not be at tho mercy of a few men who can, if they so desire (and ibey have a desire always when there is anything desirable in sight), compel the city to accede to their demands or ao withont water.

If the present company will not soil their works at a reasonable figure, let the city couslruct an inde pendent system of its own. There is nothing to prevent that, for we un eerstand the contract with the water company has expired. 'AJIERir.vS GREATEST' BELLY- AC HER. The Keview tries awfully bard to pose as the friend otthe dear people, the taxpayers. It pathetically, and with tears in its eyes, tells Vhat it would do for them if the wicked re- publican administration of county affairs wonld only give.it a chance. The loss of the delinquent tax sale is a particular thorn in its side, and whenever it thinks upon the great s it has sustained by being de prived of the chance to biiog in a bili oliU against the county for ger w-,n bare pawed. A careful eU wbatit now pitionsly whines to be I male ot losses to pettlert and lumbermen permitted to do for less than half price, it weeps and wails afresh. Poor Beview! it is indeed sad. Between the pangs of remorse it must suffer for having over-charged the county more than $600 in the last two years (6ee bills printed in an other column), and the spasms of re- gret that now oppress it because it is not allowed to continue to hog it all perpetually, the Beview must be in a bad fix. Yet it neglects to make res titution to the county, and begs pit ionsly to have ju6t one more whack at the delinquent tax list, even though it has to bid for it. The fact of the matter is, as the county records will show, the Beview charged in every instance full rates 2or all printing done for democratic sheriffs (8 years) and moved heaven and earth to secure the election of the last candidate for that office, sacrificing every other man on the ticket (except perhaps the editor of the Beview), and having inglorionsly failed, lapses into a stale of chronic beJlyacne. ine miracle or tbe ited Sea, which enabled the children of Israel to es- cape from Pharoab, has haDDened again, reports Major-General Tnlloch to the British Government.

New York, July 10. Shinichiro Kur ino, Japanese minister to the United States, was at tbe Imperial hotel last night, lie had just ret ur Jed from New port on his way to Washington, and talked freely of affairs in tbe Orient. Ho said: "The war has left Japan iu first-rate shape. I think that peace is perma nently assured in the far East. China manifests a determination to stand by her agreement, and this has done much to win her favor in Japan. You hear great deal of talk about Russia's attitude, aud the probability of a clash between is friendly to Jupau. If she wero not tbo I ... . treaty ol three weeks ago would not iiav been completed.

The stage from al .fa.. a . ... hub city io lYiinou springs was Held up al tho Howard hill, about nine miles from this city yesterday morning, by two highwaymen: The driver uutl only pas senger were robbed. Thatbiovoa aro said to have secured altogether about $00. The robbers are des :ribcd as one short, heavy net fellow, aud ouo taller man, both wearing workingmen'a clothes, and having their faces covered with white masks. A later dispatch from Oregon City states tht the Portland man, whoso name is unknown, cave up 35. The robbers did not tako his watch. When the robbeis asked tho driver it be had any money he said, "Not a cent." and without pressing they let him go. The stage carried but one passenger, who continued his journey to Wilboit Springs, which is a distance of about 25 miles southeast of Oregon City. The Wilboit stage runs through a very wild aud isolated portion of tho country beyond MolalU corners and the opor tunities for holding up outing' partits bound for tho Springs are considete-1 good. The incomiuK stage from Wilboit ea- terday passed tbo outgoing one within SO minnles of tho hold-up on Howard hill. It carried tbrco bouieward-bound passengers, two of w bom had been out hunting and carried guns in plain view, which prol'ably accounts for tbe fact they were not molested. Chase's Daughter. New Yobk, July 15. A Washington special says a temporary stay, granted by a district judge, is all that stands between Mrs. Kate Chase and a chattel mortgage foreclosure of all her household goods. Ed ee wood is already gone and tbe trost company which foreclosed tho mortgage has notified Mrs. Chase to surrender possession. Salmon P. Chase, governor, senator, secretary of tbe treasury and chief jus tice of the supreme court of the United States, died 22 years ago. In every pub lic position which he occupied, he wa3 a leader. To him was due tbe formation of the national bank act. As a senator frooi Ohio, be originated some of the most important legislation of tho day, Though millions of dollars usscd through his hands he died comparatively poor, leaving fcdgewood, with its price less associations, to his daughter, Mrs. Kate Chase. Misfortunes have come to her. Her eldest daughter, Ethel Sprague, is on tbe stage with Richard Mansfield's "Portia;" tho second daugh ter has taken a position as a governess; Nettie, the youngest, is an invalid, re quiring constant attention, Mrs. Cbaso has been assured tbat in case she is able to raise sufficient funds to redeem tbe estate, it will be again re stored to her. She is now in New York making an effort in this direction. She writes to intimate frienus in Washington that she is almost exhausted, mentally aud physically, and despairs ot success. Swift Vengeance. Omaha, July 1G. A Bpecial to tbe Bee from Butte, Neb., says: There is a gen eral belief here tbat tbe rustlers raptured by tbe vigilantes Sunday have been lynched.

Tbe fort was quickly surrounded and tbe men realizing lue luiiiuy ol resistance, sur rendered to the vigilantes.

Van, June 3. t From tho Associated Press correspondent in Armenia) Tbe prison of Van, wboro tbe Armenian pris oners are confined is located under tho shadow of the city wall and at a point wbero tbe ground is so low as to receive tbe drainage of tbe rest of tbo city, Liko tbe other buildings of tbe city it is built of sun-dried brick laid iu tho mud. Tho prison is only a one-story building, and with no provision lor keeping it dry. The prison consists of six long roon-s turee ou eacu biuq oi a common passago way, into which they open. Each room is about 12 feet wide aod froji 30 to 40 feet long, and has two windows at th outer end and two small windows and door at tbe inner end opening into tbe passage. During tho'.laet winter from 30 to 10 meu wete crowded into each of theso rooms, sleeping on tho floor, a row along each wall, so that if their feet weru a little moro than ordinarily extended tho two rows woulu intorfero with tbo other. Sometimes thero weru 22 men i each row, allowing only about 13 inches lor each person. ine uve small ceils mentioned aro damp, dark and entirely unwarmed for winter. A prisoner, Karakcon Pnghesh (ecan by name, was kept in ono of tho cells 14 conoeculivo montbB with foot fottors all t ho lime, and with hand and neck fetters much of tho time. After wards ho was removed toono of tho inner cells, which aro oyen worse, and wbero ho uow is. He was flogged on an uver ago ot ouco a day. Apart from the actual butchery of Sas soun, tho most painful featuro of the sit uatiou is tho position of Armenian women. Ouu cannot investigate this phaso of tho subj ect without feelings of rago and horror. Aflor tho most carelul personal inquiry tho correspondent is abld tostato that in hundreds of villago.1 in Armenia thcro is hardly one woman, told or youug, who is not from time to imo ma do tho victim of passion of the Kurds and Turks In all tbo villages of Armenia, tbo Christian women, both old and young, aro absolutely at tbo mercy of their Kurdish und Turkish neighbors. This is not tbe case in tho larger cities of Van, Ritlis, Moush and Erzeroum, be causo in theso cities tbo largo Armenian population is iu itself a protection to tho women, but in the village9, wboro the Armenians aro iu tho minority, protect ion is impossible, aud the women are at tho beck und call of any Turk or Kurd who happens to lake u fancy to them. Moreover, this statu of things is Haid to bo well known to tho Turkish govern ment. It is the custom of the government to sell to the highest bidder the tax privi leges of tho various villages, Iho pur chaser having the right to collect all cf tbo laxoa from tho people. In many cases tho numbor of young Armenian women in a village has a great deal to do with the price paid for the tax privilege. When the public sale is made of the tax privileo it is no uncommon thing for the auctioneer to call out in (lie market- hue that (o many girls aro available in tbo villagu. When a man has pur chased the tax privilege of :t village, he considers that bo hIsi buiijht and paid fdr the women of the village, and any at tempt on the patt of the Husband'', brothers or fathers to resent this interp retation of tho law is looked upon as high treason, puuisbablo with death. If tbe Armenian men object to litis they are beaten aud driven from the villages and, in mauy cases, killed. The women who suffer the most aro tbe brides. Kurds an 1 Turks think it great sport to carry off a lit idu from tiie verj arms of her husband, and to keep her in tbeir houses until they have become tired of her presence. BRIEF MENTION.
