Tho Review knows as well ua I do, that Binder Iluruinnii bc- longa to tho party that saved tho Union from disintegration and ruin rntlier than to the iiarly of tho Kcview, tbe members of which in tho late robellion howled thotneolvea hoarse whonever tlioy heard of a confedorato victory in the south. Biugcr Hermann belongs to tho republi can party of tbo Union, as well as to the republican party of Oregon, and true patriotism and love of country is one of tho marked characteristics of his life. Ho is a man of personal and political in fluence at tbe capital of our country, and among bis co-laborers at Washington he is tho acknowledged peer of any of them in integrity of character, and deep de votion to the cause of his country and tho best interests of tlioso whom he has been called upon to serve in tho halls of congress. Ho is also the choice ot tbe rank and tile of tho republican party of Oregon for a continuance in the position that he has so long, ably and honorably filled, and at the next state convention of tho lepublican party, when tho yoico ol that rank and file is heard, he will re ceive at least two-thirds of tho votes of that convention. I have noticed Mr. Hermann's actions in regard to the po litical missiles hurled at him by political adventurers, and I have remarked to friends upon more than one occasion that "Binger" pr.rsuea tho oven tenor of hia way, undaunted by thu missiles so thrown, regarding them as tho flimsy fragaments of prejudiced minds, ani mated by no other principle than the downfall of the republican parly, rather than the defeat of their own political aspirations. Now as to tho Review, braggadocio and bombast is the motive power that spun! it to action, and while claiming to bo democratic inprinciple.it has never had the eflrontry to claim a knowledge of what true democracy consists. Votku. P0ST0FFICE DEPOSITORY. Just at this time perhaps a to6toffico depository would not bo patronixed much for the reason no one, or bnt few, has any spare money to deposit. But if ruch a system tie established it wonld bo doubtless utiliied in a few years and be come finite popular with the people gen erally. Wage earners who desire to lay by a few dollars to make future pay ments or have something "lor a rainy day" would feel perfectly safe in such deposits they could depend oron their money when they wauted it. They would rest easy and secure, knowiog that there would bo no failures no sus pension of payments by "runs on it.' Such a svgtem would be a twitriotic one. Itfwould win the depositors loyalty. It would make him a staunch and steadfast defender of the nation. As its uttlitv became known by the benefits it would confer upon those who, at first, would uotiDiiess ue lew, wouiu become pop ular and be the means of inducing others less provident to patronize such deposit, and eventually cause thousands to save their surplus earnings by placing it where it would be perfectly safe, and be forthcoming in time of need. A post- oluce depository is now a growing ne cessity. What, says a populist, will you a re publican, advocate such a system ? That is one of our schemes. Not quite so fast , Air. lop. A republican several years ago favored such a scheme. John Wan1 namaker, postmaster general, nnder President Harrison, favored such a sys tem and so reported to congress. If pop ulists favor such a system they borrowed it train John Wannamaker, a republican. Rut it is immaterial who or where it originated, it would bo a good thing to put into executisn. Citizen's fleeting. At the citizen's meeting Monday the attendance was large and iiuile harmon ions. 1 lie balloting lor candidates was conducted quietly without any special manifestation of more than ordinary in terest. It was the first instance in the history of Roseburg, when the citizens joined in mass meeting to nominate .1 ticket. There are doubtless some dis apK)inted men and possibly there will bo independent candidates in tho field. That right, of course, is not denied. Let all run who want an oflico. Tho voters will decide. THE TICKhT. For Mayor, A. 0. Marsters. For Marshal, J. 15. Cannon. For Recorder, F. M. Zicler. For Treasurer, J. A. Perkins. COl'NCILMKN. 1st. Ward David Clo.nents.

TELEGRAPH NEWS. Intense Heat In Europe. New Yoiik, Sept. SO. A epecial to tho Herald, from Paris, says : A spocial telegram from Kiel observa tory announces Unit the approach of the comet of Fayo lias been discovered by Professor Javolle, of the Nice observa tory. Without taking an alarmist view of affairs, it may bo well to point out the Uheory so graphically developed in M. Flammarion's book, "La Fin du Monde." In that work a collision between a comet and the earth is described with astrono mical precision and during the extraor dinary phenomena that ensued, there was unusual heat, tho first phases of which were similar to thoso now prevail ing in Northwestern Europe. Can it bo possible that tbo present high tempera- turo is the precursor cf a terrestrial smashup with Faye's comet? Bo that as it may, continued drought and heat are causing serious inconvenience all over Europe. The Seine, Marne and Loire have never been as low as now, and a water famino in numerous districts seems to bo impending, blight levers aro becoming prevalent and animals are suffering. Cases of sunstroke are numerous in Great Britain and on the continent, and the weather reports indicate that the heat covers all Western and Central Europo. Storm On the Lakes. Chicago, Sept. 30. Yesterday's storm on the Lakes was one of the most violent and destructive of recent years. No less than IS vessels have lcen reported stranded at various points, while reports continuo to be received of others flying signals of distress. At Milwaukee, the schooner Condor is long overdue, and grave fears are felt for her safety. Thir teen persons narrowly escaped drowning when tbo steam bargo Kershaw uent on the reef at Choclav beach, breaking com pletely in two. Five steamers are grounded near Do troit and the barge R. J. Henrv went to pieces'near Sault Ste. Marie. .Several vessels lost deck cargoes and others were stripped of all canvas, stearing gear, etc. Tbe steamer Puritan from Chicago for St. Joseph, Mich., was obliged to put back after three attempts to land at the latter port. The passengers became panie stricken and many of them so sick that they wero unable to care for themselves. Thui tar no loss of life has been report ed. Viceroy Degraded WAsnixtiTox, Sept. 30. Minister Den- by has cabled the state department from Peking as follows: "An imperial de creo issued declares the resjonsibility for the Szehuen riots rests with officials, as Viceroy Lin was careless and took no no tice of the beginning of the riots. Ho is deprived of office, never to bo re-em ployed. Other officials arc to be pun ished." This would seem to indicate that the crisis imienuiug in Chiua involving a naval demonstration by the British forces has been averted for a time, at least, by a compliance with the principal demands of the British. It cannot bo learned whether the decree concedes all demands made. The cablegram makes no reference to the sweeping conditions imposed by the British minister that tbe guilty officers be punished by suspension for three years in the province of Szehuen. Viceroy Liu, whose fall is announced, has been in trouble before. It is said he was fonnd guilty last November of mis appropriation, and later, and because French investigations showed he was re sponsible for tho Cheng Tu riots, he was obliged to pay an indemnity of fSOO.OOO to tho Ftench Catholic missions front his own pocket. The present cuuclusion which has been brought about apparently by British threats, will not involve the abandon ment of the independent investigation into tho Cheng Tu riots ordered by Sec retary Olnoy. There has been a change in the personnel of the commission, Com mander Barber, the naval attache, who has fallen ill, having been relieved from duty as a commissioner by Lieutenant- Commander John P. Merrill, executive officer of the United States steamer Bal timore. The Asiatic squadron, which has been concentrated at Cheo Foo. has dispersed. The flagship Baltituoru has gone to Nagasaki, the Yorktown to Chemulpo, and the Concord to Shanghai. The News In London London-, Sept. 30. A special dispatch from Shanghai says Admiral Bullock with M ships belougiug to tho British fleet in Chinese waters, will proceed Wednesday next to Nanking and pre sent the viceroy ol ttiat place with im portant dispatches. Officials of the foreign ofllre this afternoon stated a decree has already been published in tho Peking official Gazette ordering the vicerov of Szehuen stripied cf his rank for failing to pro tect the missionaries in his district, and, as a warning to others, it is further di rected that he will not be again permit tod to lake ollico. Tho decree also denounced subordi nale othciais lor tailing to take proper action in a easo of emergency. Premature Explosion. Kansah Cirv, Sept. 30. Six liven wore sacrificed at a quarry eight miles from Independence, Mo., this morning by tho premature explosion of a blast. The victims aro: Miles Melieriian, con tractor; CJon. Pruitt, farmer: Daniol Larkiu, q'.iarrynuui; Antonio Carlon, quarryman; Pat Welsh, quarrynian, and Tom Furguson, 0 pears old. Tho men wero crushed under a huge rock and in stantly killed. Tho bov lived four hours Two blasts had been cut. It was in tended to touch oil' the smaller one, and tho men stepped out of the way and right undor the oilier blast. Lho man who touched off tho blast mistook the sigual and set off the larger one. A ter rific explosion followed, jarring Ioobo an immense ovorhanging rock, which mashed the men to a pulp. Ashore on Keweenaw Point. Sault Ste Mauie, Mich., Sept. 30. The captain of the Anchor Line steamer Schuykill, who arrived from Duluth to day, reports passing two boats ashore at Keweenaw Point. He thonght they wpro the Matoa and Massaba, big steel steamers belonging to the Minnesota Company. Tho Matoa and Massaba cleared from Two Harbors for Cleveland yesterday. Keweenaw Point is one of the most dangerous points on the lakes, and the boats stranded are'Iikely to prove total losses, owing to the heavy northwest gale. Passenger Train Overturned. Denveb, Col., Sept. 30 A special to the Times from El Paso, Texas, says: The passenger train from New Orleans was partly capsized at 7 :30 a. m. today, near Malone, 80 miles cast of here, owing to the softening of tbe roadbed by heavy rains. The engine, tender, mail and baggage cars were turned over, and the engineer, F. A. Thompson, was badly scalded. Big washouts are reported on the Mexican Central, near Chihuahua, and also on tbe Southern Pacific west of Lordsburg. CAAIAS VALLEY. Clouds and sunshine, green grass and pure air, sinco tbe refreshing raiDB. U. D. Maxum is building a flue to the new residence of J. T. Davis. Tbe rolling barrow and the turning plow is in the fashion in the Camas Val ley fields at present. .Miss Alma Wolcott is getting signers for a subscription school for the fall and winter months. Camas threshed over thiity thousand bushels of grain this season. Mrs. Kennedy was the guest of Mrs Whipple one day last week. The valley roads are in fine condition for wheels, but bicycles have not bloomed here yet. Uonsiuenng tbe low prices ot gram and scarcity of money, considerable itn provements are going on in tbe valley. Miss Lucy Brytenbusher preached to a large congregation at tbe Cbristain church last Wednesday evening. This young lady bids fair to do a noble work in the cause of Christ, the great master, that opened tbe door to tLe eternal ex istence, and established the truth that death will not end all. Mrs. J. W. Wyley recently shot and killed a chicken hawk that bad been making daily raids on her poultry. Rev. Coon and lady, and Mrs. Vie Tolfc were the guest of Mr."and""Mrg. Maxum one day last week. There are several families, new set tlers, expected in the valley yet this fall It has lxcn said, none but the brave deseryn the fair, and cynically answered none but the brave could live with them till fire arms were invented, but the way some of the ladies of Camas are learning to use that weapon of defense, fire arms w ill soon be no protection. Miss Ella Smith and the widow Brad' ley were out hnnting a lew days ago. When seen by H. D. Maxum from bis garden where he was at work, they were making rapid strides across a little opening near tlie creek to disappear in the bushes. H. D., being a little nerv ous, walcbetl tueui narrowly, lor be ex pected them to stub their toes and fall and to then hear the tearing reports of their muskets. The Lord only knows what might have been the consequence. Uur bunuay school is progressing nicely under the supervision of Mrs. J W. Wyley, there being a good attend ance, and quite an interest exhibited by the little fo'ks. tbe "Uatnas valley Hall, now speaks to tbe passerby in large letters. A short time previous to tho present writing a pleasant and happy little party took a trip to the much noted promiuence in nature's upheavals, known as Bennet Rock, whose craggy aud preciptous bar renness is to be viewed from many points n the vallev. The participants in this excursion party were, Mrs. Nalch and her two sons, Miss Cecelia 1'enn and Mr. George Prior. The mountain path be- came too steep to safely progress onward with the horses, so Mrs. Walsh volun teered to watch the animals until tbe other members of tho party should climb the ragged steeps to a height where they thought they could look back over Camas Valley. They soon passed out of sight iu their assent. They were gone so long Mrs. Walsh became alarmed for their safety, and it is reported took a horse and went for aid, for she thought they were lost in the mountains. Terrible visions of starvation and of being de voured by wild aninmls, bears, panthers and lions, that aro supposed to iuhabit all isolated regions, floated through her brain, aud such ideas were bound to create excitement. But iu due time Mr. ior returned with his charge, not lost in the mountains as was supposed but had only been lost iu admiration of the beauties of nature, and in consequence had come a rather crooked path home ward. Mr. .'esse Walcott aud family have de parted for their old homo in California. The holiest farmer has paid his hired help oil" by lho bitbbcl, as helms only commodities to exchango for labor, aud the merchant if he wauls to Btay by the tillei of the soil, has got 'o consent lo be paid oil by the bushel also. If he gets more wheat than bo can eat ho must ship it and exchange it for dry goods aud groceries, or ho will have to be counted out of tho honest farmers' ring. N. E. M As old lady Britannia peeuis to have lots of money to put up for auother race between the Defender aud the Valkyrie, Undo Sam can please his folks mightily by accommodating her. BUSINESS LOCLAS.
