REPUBLICANISM. "la timo of jeacc prepare for war." Next year another campaign is upon us. The provisions of the constitution re quire the election of all the officers in tins county, except county judge. Also three representatives and one senator to the state legislature are to be elected. If the principles of the republican party are worth contending for every republi can ought to be on the alert and do what he can in every way maintain thosa principles. Standing aloof and allowins matters to drift along with the tide of opposition is suicidal. The opposition will leave no stone un turned "to carry the war into Africa." Democrats and populists will "turn heaven and earth upside down to elect their men." The very air is burdened with their belligerant tocsins of "d'v-vn with the republicans." Republicans throughout the county we appeal to you to be up and doing. Don't sit idly by and allow the enemy to steal a march on you and intrench themselves upon your territory, and thus by active strategy catch you slevpinz at your post of duty. They are already marshaling their clans and disciplining them for the onset. The schemers of these parties are making up their states and settling down to basi ness One of their principal movements is the dissemination of their political literature. They "dig np" the money to help on the cause of their party by a liberal support of their papers. That is the way they do patronize their political exponents. Republicans would do well to folio- their example by a liberal patronage of a republican paper, as a stand off, if no more. You expect the Placcdeaixi: to battle fcr republicanism, but did it ever occur to you that it re qalrers cash and bard work to print a paper. Withoct liberal patronage by the party it is impossible to make a good aggressive paper. The republicans of Douglas owe it to themselves to help their party paper, es pecially if they are sincere in the genu ineness of their party's principles. "A continual drop wi II wear away a stone." To cause the wear of many stones the drops mcst be continuous on them all. Apply this figure: The Plaisdealeb must be caused to drop amongst a larger number of readers. The Plaindeaixk is now the best paper printed in Southern Oregon. The weekly and semi-weekly have more reading matter than any other paper south of Salem. It is fear less and outspoken on all the political questions engaging public attention. Its leading featcre is its news department, Both dispatches and locals are of a relia ble and trustworthy nature, and full. The Plawdealse is not sensational, fill ing its columns with trashy gossip or scandal. What it says is reliable. Every issue contains epitomized dis patches from all the world, thus furnish ing its readers with news on all impor tant subjects. Tee daily Plaixdealee has daily new a and diepitcbes of the most interesting nature from all the world. Wherever daily mail terviee can be had republi cans ought to take the daily. We will furnish it to yearly subscribers payable in advance for $2 a year. It contains more reading matter per week than any -k y ib the state. The campaign is approaching, and every repoWican should feel an interest in the principles of the party being sus tained. FOR FARMERS TO STUDY. Three years ago 5S per cent of the wheat which Europs procured abroad came from America. Last year oar pro portion has rhrnnk to 30 per cent. That is, our contribution to the European market is both absolutely and relatively declining. What is the remedy for this? There can be no remedy which looks to Europe. Europe will buy our wheat only when she can get it more cheaply than it can lj produced by Russian serfs and Indian ryots. Tiie American farmer cannot iiore to cointiete on such terms with the foreign farmer who hires his labor for three cents a day or yokes his wife to the plow with his oxen. If the Ameri can farmer ia driven out of the European market and tliat he is being driven outof.it these figures establish beyond question he must turn to the home market for relief. It would be well for him if he had turned to it long ago in stead of blindly following the export igni faluut. The foreign operative may or may not buy and consume the pro ducts of American farms; the American operative, better paid and better fed, is certain to consume them The American operative does not eat nrlieat from the Black Sea or the Rio Plata, or cattle or b:ef from Australian ranges. He buys these things at home, and he buys there, too, his milk and eggs and cheese and vegetables. Thus it is that it is estima ted thai while in England each factory workman consumes only $4.42 worth of products of American agriculture every year, each factory workman in Massa chusetts consumes more than $90 worth of these American products. Which is the better cuetomer of the American fanner? Where lie the farm er' interests in encouraging manufac turing abroad or manufacturing at home? Boston Journal. Some Newspaper Comment. The N. Y. World of yesterday says : "The reactionary result in this city yesterday was provoked by the pig headed following of the president of the polico board. Hut for tho exasperating effect ol Mr. Roosevelt's uncalled-for, un just, harsh and oppressive execution of tho SJt.day oxciso law, a union of all the anti-Tammany forces would hayu been as easy and as triumphant as it was last year. The predicted reaction has come. Tammany triumphs in the first election after its tremendous overthrow. The re sult is discouraging. It impeaches the capacity of tho people for self govern" menu It shows that tho voters are more susceptible to wrongs than intelli gent as to the remedy. Evcy consider ation of decent politics, good government and the liberalizing of sumptuary laws required the success of the reform ticket. One man's obstinacy, folly and the un reasonable anger of the people have de feated it. The large repuclijan majority in tho state will stand a monument to this sort of virtue which exploits itself in regulating the morals of other eople. The wider political coneequences of the result are grave. It means the strongest possible nomination by the democrats for president, and the hardest struggle in years as tiie basis ol a hopeful campaign next year." The Morning Advertiser Although the figures on the Tammany voto show that the organization possessed greater strength than had been generally sup posed, the success of the Tammany ticket is nosurprise to citizens who nave intel ligently observed the progress of events. The triumph of Tammany ia due, first of all and above all, to the blunders, the apathy and the incapacity of its oppo nents. Another and. the most hnmili atineofall the causes of fusion defeat was the betrayal of the reform by some men who were bound by eyery consider ation of honor and patriotism to support the union ticket. The Threatened Strike. Sax Fkaxcisco, Xoy. 5. The threat ened strike on the Great Northern has caused no little comment among local railway men, and especially among members of the A. R. U. The dissatis faction of the Hill men lias a peculiar significance in this city, Oakland and Sacramento, inasmuch as it is generally admitted that on the success or failure of a strike on the Great Northern sys tem at this time hinges the future of all organized railway labor west of the Missouri river. Incidentally it may be said that on the Southern Pacific there has been unusual activity of late among the labor unions. In the past month it is declared by local A. R. U. officers, that nine lodges of that order liave been successfully organized on the Pacific coast. All this work has been effected through the instrumentality of James Hogan, of-Salt Lake, who ia general western representative of Eugene Debs, and one of the nominees for congress in the coming Utah election on the people's party ticket. Hogan, it is said, lias three traveling delegates in this state who have reported to him that the A. R. U. sentiment is stronger than ever on this coast, and who have promised to bring almost ever y railway employe in California and Oregon into camp be fore the new year. Funeral at Myrtle Creek. The funeral of Geo. Weaver of Myrtle Creek was largely attended, Wednesday, November C The Masons of his lodge, South Umpqua No. 72, at Canyonville, and of Laurel Lodge No. 13 of Roseburg, attended with a large representation, which order conducted the obseqnies by observing their solemn and imposing rites. The Odd Fellows of Myrtle Creek lodge, No. 38, of which be was an hon ored member, attended in a body in regalia. Rer. J. F. Wallace of the M. E. church south, preached his funeral ser mon from the words, "I go to prepare a way for you," and was assisted by Rey. Mr. Ricbison. The deceased was born June 29tb, 18t2, near Myrtle Creek. He was a- son of Hans Weaver who died a fuw years ago. Mr. Weaver leaves a wife and two small children to mourn their irrepar able loss. Mr. Weaver was highly esteemed by his neighbors. He was one of those warm hearted, genial spirits who attracts to them and wins the good will of all with whom they have dealings. As was expressed by one of Myrtle Creek's prominent citizens, "his place cannot well be filled." Resolution. To the Worshipful Master, Wardens and Brethren of Oakland Lodge, No. Its, A. F. & A. M.

Tho prizo wondor in tho slinpo of n clock is tho invention of n Russian Polo named Goldfndon. Tho inventor is n clockmaker of Warsaw nnd boasts that ho worked over 2,000 dnys on this timo keeping oddity. Tho clock represents, n tnihvny station, with waiting rooms for travelers, telegraph and ticket offices and a very pretty nnd natural platform, t:ell lighted and having in its center a Tower garden and a spouting fountain, i'hero aro also signal boxes, lights, switches, water tanks in fact, every thing used in conjunction with a well legnlated railway station. Thero is n dial in tho center tower, which shows timo at New York, Peking, Wnrsaw and Loudon. Every quarter of un hour the tration begins to show signs of life. First all of the littlo figures of telegraph operators begin to work thoir machines, tho head automaton going through tho form of sending a dispatch to tho effect that "tho lino is clear." Then tho door opens, and upon tho platform appear tho station master and his assistants. Next a long liuo of littlo figures filo up to tho miniature ticket office. After this tho porters nppear, carrying luggage, tho bell rings, and instantly u miniature train dashes out of a tuimcl and halts before tho platform of tho sta tion house. Whilo tho traiu is waiting a miniature figure tests tho wheels and axles with a tiny hammer, another pnmps water into tho tank of tho en gine, whilo a third busies himself stow ing away small lumps of coal In tho sil ver plated tender. Thero is ouo signal of tho bell, whereupon tho door of tho singlo coach opens, nud tho littlo figures slido in on an almost invisible wire, the opening closing after them. A sec ond tap of tho bell Is tho signal for tho wheel tester, waterman and fnel carrier to retire into tho station house. After tho third signal tho whistlo gives two toots, and tho train quickly disappears in a tunnel opposito to tho one from which it emerged fivo minuter before. When tho train is out of sight, tho station master aud his assistants leave tho platform, tho doors close be hind them, mid they all retire to tho other tddo of the station house, where, at tho expiration of 15 minutes, tho train again appears, and tho passengers filo out and seat themselves in tho build ing preparatory to taking another trip around tho station house. St. Louis Republic LOPSIDED HENS. How a Cape EUxatxrth Man rrodnred a Itreed of Nonscratchers. Speaking of hens reminds mo of a worthy townsman of ours, J. Fairfield Tattle, who liad a small patch of straw berries so situated tliat only n fence, and a poor ono at that, divided them from-a neighbor's henyard, and these same hens bothered our friend very much by jetting through the fence and scratching up the strawberry plants. Our friend tried many -ways to rid himself of them, but failed until ono day ho saw his neighbor in tho act of setting another hen. Now, it's necessary for you to know that the hens above mentioned were of what is known as the Shanghai breed and had very long legs. It occurred to our friend Tuttlo that he saw a wny out of tho difficulty. So procuring half a dozen bantam (short legs) eggs he nolo over during tho night, took out six of tho eggs that were under tho hen and replaced them with the six bantam. What was the result? When tho chicks were hatched, each one had ono short and ono long leg, and when they would stand on the short leg and try to scratch with the long ono they would only suc ceed in throwing themselves over. When they would stand on the long leg, the short one would not reach the ground by several inches, and to in tho matter of scratching they were not in it, so to speak- Capo Elisabeth Sentinel. Xames of the Centlped. "The word ccntiprd in tho month of the old sailor, as of tiie negro, becomes 'santipede' or 'santifee.'but I think Joo Galbraith, a Hibernian ranchman of New Mexico, should bo credited with giving it tho most remarkable twist from its dicticnarypronunciation," said tho topographer in a surveying party.

As two of our men in tho morning wero shaking a blanket which had been spread next tho ground a centiped six inches long ran out from the under side of tho blanket up tho sleeve and faco of ono of tho two men. The man's whiskers saved his fact) from tho needleliko feet, and ho brushed tho reptile off to the ground without sustaining injury. Tho centi ped was killed, and tho party gathered round to look at it, among them Joe, eager to air his knowledge. " 'Don't you know what that is;' ho said wisely. 'It's a Santa Fe.

When a tempest is approaching or passing out on the ocean, tho tides are noticeably higher than usual, as if tho water had been driven in a va&t wavo before the storm. Tho influence extends to a great distance from tho cyclonic storm center, so that tho possibility ex ists of foretelling the approach of n'dan gerons hurricane by means of indications furnished by tido gauges situated far away from tho placo then occupied by tho whirling winds. The fact that tho tidal wavo outstrips the advancing storm shows how extreme ly seiisitivo tho surface of the sea is to tho changes of pressure brought to liear npon it by tho never resting atmosphere.

Dairy farming can hardly be a profit able business for Brithish farmers.

FROM CRADLE TO GRAVE. Life's Moving lVinorauia Illustrated Ia a New York Street Scene. A liviug picturo of life's moving pan orama was presented at Broadway and Twenty-third street ono day last week. It was a procession. It was a procession formed by chance, but tho utmost delib eration could not havo mado it tell a plainer story of life. First camo a wagon piled high with baby carriages frail littlo vehicles to carry frail "indies of humanity" as they began the uncertain journey over tho tortuous ways of this world. Then followed a pony cart carrying two laughing boys advanced only far enough in the great highway of lifo to realizo that there wero roses in tho path, but not to know of tho thorns. Behind tho boys, in a dogcart drawn by a high stepping cob, wero two youtlis on the threshold of manhood. Ouo woro on the lapel of his coat a collego phi on a bit of blno ribbon, tho other a pin of different design on a yellow knot of silk. They were engaged in earnest conversation, apparently suggested by a highly colored theater poster represent ing a young woman who was advertised to appear on some stage. A clanging gong was close behind, and a cable car crowded with impatient business men was hnrrying its load to their iosts to inuko the daily start in the wild raeo for money. Next a handsome pair of horses, a stylish carriage, coachman and footman on tho box, and in the carriage a rotund, red fad man, post middle age, and be side him a richly arr.iyed woman trying to appear to be on tho sunny sido of that middle line. Prosperity was written on every part of tho equipage. Then came an ash cart, and its dust, borao on tho wind, reached and annoyed the occupants of the carriage. Tho driver walked at his horse's head, bowed, bat not with years, mid his faco bore tho mark3 of toil that had extended over his lifo since early youth. Closo behind the ash cart, with black horses, black plumes mid a solemn vis aged driver, camo a hearse. New York Herald. A Long ltoad. Farmers down in Dixie, like thoso in New England, have a very grim, but nono tho less indisputable, sense of hu mor on occasion, if this anecdote from Georgia is to bo credited : A farmer returning from town with an empty produce wagon overtook a young man plodding along with tho dis couraged air of a city man unused to dirt roads. "Hullo, Jersey," cried tho stranger brisklr. "Can a man get a lift to Vino-land:-" "I don't seo why he can't," responded tho farmer in a noncommittal way. "Then I'll tako a ride," said the stranger, vaulting into tho wagon and making himself comfortable. After three or four miles had been traversed, tho stranger paused in his in consequential talk long enough to ob servo: "It's quito a distance to Vincland." "Yes, it is a distance," admitted tho farmer. Another mile was passed, and then tho stranger mquired : "About how far is it to Vincland?" "Well," replied tho farmer medita tively, "kecpin straight ahead tho way we're goin now, it's about 25,000 miles, but if you'll get out and hoof it back, it ain't moro'n about six or sev en." Tho stranger got out and "hoofed" it back. Providence Journal. Singular DlscoTery. An English author says that a man of raiddlo ago with whom ho is acquainted found ono of his eyes affected, as ho thought, by reading small print at uight and applied to a famous oculist for nd vice.

During the last nine years the United Kingdom has increased her imports of (lour by :!0 per cent, of wheat by 48 per cent and of barley by 128 per cent. This was good for foreign farmers. In the same period she has decreased her acreage planted to wheat by 44.5 per cent and her barley ncreage by 1 1.5 per cent. This was bad for tho home far mers. But it was the result of free trade.

TEETH OF ROYALTY. THEY ARE BAD, AND THEREBY HANG SOME INTERESTING TALES." American Dentistry, Mixed With Diplo macy and Intrigue The Part Tlayed by Dr. Kvnnn tloir Lord Cromer Got Hold of the Khedive's Secrets. European royalty is cursed with oxo crablo teeth, tho result of consanguineous marriages throughout countless genera tions, nnd oven tho princes of tho reign ing honso of Swedon, who are of plebeian origin, tho grandfather of tho present luug having been bom as a peasant at Pan, on tho French slopo of tho Pyrenees, enffer from barred teeth, necessitating much scienco nud skill in treatment. It is only natural therefore that they should havo frequent rccourso to dentists, aud inasmuch ns dental surgery has attained a greater degreo of scienco mid pro ficiency in tho United States than in Eu rope, it is American doctors, as a rule, who havo been intrusted with tho wel fare of royalty's jaws. Perhaps tho best known and most fa mous of all theso American court den tists in Europo has been Dr. Thomas Evans in Paris, who has had tho honor of introducing his forceps into almost overy royal mouth in Cliristeudom. But perhaps tho crowned heads with whom ho was most intimnto during his professional career wero Napoleon HI and Empress Eugenic. Many a timo ho was consulted by both on matters of im portance which certainly had nothing to do with teeth, whilo tho emperor would frequently nvnil himself of tho doctor's professional trips to foreign courts to in trust him with somo communication which could not well bo conveyed through diplomatic channels. And, as everybody knows, when tho empire was overthrown, after tho battlo of Sedan, it was Dr. Thomas Evans, who, first of all, concealed tho f ugitivo empress in his Parisian mansion, and afterward con veyed her at personal risk from tho me tropolis to tho seaside, whenco she es caped to England on tho yacht of Sir John Burgoyne. Thero was an American dentist who was implicated in tho somewhat sensa tional incidents that led to the sudden removal of tho scmidemented queen of Roumania from Venice a few years ago. After tho Roumanian government liad exacted from tho king, under threat of depriving him of his throuc, a promiso to put mi end to tho engagement which tho queen had arranged between her nephew, Crown Princo Ferdinand, and her ambitious favorite and maid of hon or, Helen Vacarescu, her majesty liad withdrawn, a prey to tho most violent excitement, to Venice, where her con duct becamo so extravagant as to attract much attention and to nocessitato tho journey post hasto of King Charles all tho way from Bucharest to tho city of the lagoon. His first step on arriving was to dis miss her entire entourage, tho two most prominent members of which, next to the maid of houor, were her Alsatian secretary, M. Schcffer, and her Ameri can dentist, both of whom wero credit ed with exercising influence of a hyp notic nature upon tho half crazy queen. Sho was subsequently removed to Ger many mid kept for threo years under closo restraint in ono of tho Rhino cas tles of her brother, tho Princo of Wied. It was another American dentist, too, who almost led to tho deposition of the late king of Wurttcmberg, over whom ho had acquired so great a power of persua sion that tho king cut himself adrift from almost all tho associations of his younger days, holding aloof from rela tives and nobles. Tho king was finally compelled to clioceo between dismissing his American favorite or abdicating. Naturally ho accepted tho former, but he gilded up tho pill for hi3 friend by overwhelming him with honors and gifts Finally thero was tho American den tist of tho late Khedive Tewtik at Cairo, who, perliaps inadvertently, becamo tho means of communicating many a useful piece of information to tho English gov ernment. Tho khedive had tho habit of leaving all confidential documents in his pockets, where they would bo found by his Enropcau servant at nighttime. This man was afflicted not only with bad teeth, but also with a looso tongue, and on his visits to tho dentist would com municate to him bits of information ac quired through perusal of these papers. Although Lord Cromer, tho English envoy, had magnificent teeth, yet they seemed to be in almost daily need of treatment, and as ho is a man of remark able astuteness ho had littlo difficulty in worming ont of the dentist the secrets imparted by tho khedive's valet.

France's New Ministry. New Yobk, Nov. 5. A dispatch to the Herald, from Paris, says: Tho now radical ministry made its debut in the chamber today. It had a great success with the extreme left, but tho center and conservatives seemed made of marble, not a plaudit, not a movement proceeded from Ihem. M. Bourgooiso was quite alive to the effect he produced. He began the reading of bis declaration of policy in a very self- confident manner, but presently his voice began to falter. No incident of any importance took place and the chamber adjourned to Thursday. The prophecies made as to the dura tion of the new ministry coulinuu un favorable. It is dear that M. ISonr gooiso has only 100 supporters in the chamber; hence there are nearly 400 votes against him. His first difficulty will be tho strike at Carmagh, which has now lasted six months, and which the government wants settled by arbitration. The workmen are willing to adopt this course, but if their employer refine, the situation will become one of inextricable difficulty, for the present ch inner will never vote for a tneasurodirected agiinet the interests i employers.

The claim is being worked this year for the fourth time by leasers. The sand is thrown on a grizzly, carried over amalgamated plates to catch the gold, and over mohair cloth to catch the platinum, which is worth $4.50 an ounce.
