JANUARY 13. 1895.
The state bas made a lory ol 4 S iuill,
an increase over last leyey.
When a man starts in to drown bis
troubles he generally acts as if be
thought they tvere located in bis stomach.
As the British press bas come to the
conclusion that arbitration is proper, we
may consider the victory won and call ol
the war dogs.
We may get Cleveland oat of office,
but the old man has got his administra
tion saddled on ns in the form of a debt
that will etay with us for many years to
come.
Cleveland has already increased the
National bonded debt by 1162,000.000,
another 1100,090,000 is in sight, and 'he
hisEtill more than a year to work his
bondmill.
It is declared that there is a scheme
to drop Mitchell, Hermann and Ellis
from their present offices. It is prob
ably more talk than anything except
perhaps as to Ellis. The other men
will not be dropped except by several
long tongues. Albany Democrat.
The United States still bas nearly a
thousand million acres of land for sale.
Leaving out Alaska the government land
embraces C09,0S3,493 acres. A war with
England would add British America, but
the people of this country are not anx
ious for war nor greedy for more terri
tory. Colombia is building in one of our
shipyards a steel gunboat for service in
shallow bays and rivers, with a draft of
only 3.'. feet and a speed ol fifteen knots
an hour. Ii tho South American Repub
lics will supply themselves with a few
dczsnsof these torpedo boats the big
battleships will not enjoy tho prospect
of backing up an ultimatum.
ROADS.
The ceason is cow upon us when we
can contemplate the subject of roads and
from experience seriously doubt oar
having any roads, tor it appears the bot
toms of roads have, like ascending smoke
of an Indian's wigwam, disappeared.
The lines of road reaching from this city,
as far as they have been graveled, are in
pretty fair condition, but leyond that,
where arr yon with a loaded team?
Why, down to the hub, that is all.
Farmers cannot come to town any con
siderable distance with country prodace,
and as a consequence our grocery risen
ship tons of vegetables from Portland
and San Francisco, and our town people
have to piy the freight in addition to an
increase of the prices paid for the pro
dace. Such action is enny wise and pound
foolish. The increase of prices we have
to pay for vegetables, hams, lard, bacon
and sometimes eggs, would every year
grade and gravel miles of road. It is no
time for woiking roads now, but it is
time to prepare for it, to mature plans
and raise the means to do good work and
plenty of it when the proper season ar
rives. War's New Weapons.
There bas been a great deal of specula
tion lately as to the condition of the
United States for war. Those in potition
to know best have said that wo are not
prepared, bit scientists have solved the
problem by the discovery the best ar
ticle of emokeles3 gun powder is made
froji old underwear. Never in the his
tory of this nation was there so much
"old underwear" in uee, as has been
during the last three years. This ad
ministration has produced tramps, and
tramps will fornieh material for gun
powder in abundance.

ary 11, 1S96, tho death of Comrade John
Fullerton was announced, and tho fol
lownig resolutions were unanimously

Retolred: That this camp of Indian

who died very suddenly on January S,

and 8 months. Deceased was bcrn in

under 1 Day, in guarding the settle

The Fate of Jamlcson.
London, Jan. 11. A dispatch from
Johannesburg, dated the 10th, says it is
reported from Pretoria that Dr. Jamicson
aud other officers have been started for
Natal, where they will bo banded over
to the British authorities to be tried un
der the laws making J,it a punishable
offense to prepare a warlike demonstra
tion against a friendly state.
A report from Durban, Natal says the
Hon. Sir Walter Francis Hely-Hntchin-son,
governor of Natal, has gone to Pre
toria to arrange with Sir Hercules Rob
inson, governor of Cape Colony, for the
transportation of L'r. Jamieson and his
following through Natal to England.
An American's Observation.
Nrw Yoas, Jan. 12. A World special
from London says :
Poultney Bigelow left New York lu
the midst of the excitement occasioned
by the prospect of war between England
and the United States, and was in Ber
lin when the news Arrived that the
Jamieson party had Uen destroyed by
the Boers. Asked Lis opinion of the
events then, and ot the outlook now, Mr.
Bigelow said :
"Germany bas been assiduously culti
vating the gospel of bate, whoso Messiah
was Bismarck. The upper classes in
Germany, the officers, the landloids aud
the eovernment officials, ihave ceased to
think for themselves. They aro trained
in the school of passive obedience, and
have their political creed formnlated by
the newspapers edited in the office of
the government. '.When the German
emperor sent his letter congratulating
the Boen on the massacre of Englishmen
in the Transvaal, the German papers set
up a unanimous chorus of derision at
England, and gloried in the news as
though it had been a Sedan or a Metz."
A Rebuff.
London, Jan. 11. A dispatch to the
Observer from Berlin says the rebuff
which German diplomacy received at the
hands of the Portugese government, when
permission was asked for tho passage- of
the German marines, via Delagoa bay,
for the Transvaal, was more keenly felt
than any misadventure of the week. It
i, nowever, believed tho Germau foreign
office, though checkmated in this partic
ular, bas not abandoned the hopo that
the German marines will ultimately bo
allowed to pass through tho Transvaal.
A Backdown.
Washington, Jan 11. Senor Joso An-
drade, the Venezuelan minister to the
United states, was shown tbo cablegram
that Great Britain, according to tho
Westminster Gazetto, was about to re
new the effort to re-establish direct diplo
matic relations with Venezuela, tho over
tures to be made through tho good offices
of an American elate, not tho United
States. The minister seemed much
pleased at the news in the dispatched,
but called attention to tho fact that this
was t&erely a renewal of tho policy timed
by Great Britain toward Venezuela sinco
the beginning of the boundary dis
pute. In diplomatic circles here thu linnroa-
sion obtains that the nows contained in
the dispatchea, coming at this timo, in
dicated a backdown in Great Britain's
attitude toward the South Amorican ro-
public. Chile was regarded as tho coun
try through whtch Great Britain was
most likely to make any new representa
tions to Venezuela of tho character indi
cated in tho dispatches, as its relations
with that country aro very cordial, but
at tho Chilean legation It was said that
nothiug'.was known on tho subject.
In a Spanish Hospital.
Havana, Jan. 10. It is announced
that tho 123 wounded insurgents who
were picked up on tho battlQcld of
Laceica aro now in tho Spauieh hospital
at San Antonio do Los Banos.
The garrison of Hoyo Colorado, 12
miles from Havana, consisting of 20
Spanish volunteers, has surrendered to
tho insurgents.
New Submarine Boat.
Vet another submarine boat has been
invented, or is it an old friend under nn
assumed name? Bo this ns it may, a
submarine boat has been ordered by the
Brazilian government, and the trials be
ing satisfactory other and larger vessels
are to bo built, says the Court Journal.
Tho new boat, which is named tho Gou
bet, is some 2(5 feet long, about flvo feet
six inches in diameter in tho center,
and has a displacement of about ten
tons. Tho motive power is supplied by
electricity, and tho screw also serves tho
purpose of a rudder, tho shaft being
joined so as to enable it to bo turned
either to tho right or to tho left.
Three men, tho inventor claims, can
live under water in the Goulct for 12
hours, with the supply of compressed
air. This has, of course, to lie proved ;
but in the event of anything going
wrong, a lead keel weighing over a ton
can be immediately dropped, and the
boat will at once cotno to the surface
likeaco-k. On account of electricity
being used for supplying the propelling
power, tho sphere of action of the new
boat must of necessity bo very limited,
as compasses cannot bo used, but it
could do all that was required of it if
taken on boanl a vessel and launched
when tho enemy's ehipa were in sight.
Tho Goubet's mission is to throw torpe
does, and if the arrangement for throw
ing these projectiles can be relied upon,
she will prove a formidable antagonist.
To sink the Goudet, water is let into the
compartments in the lower part of the
boat, and when it is sunk to any re
quired depth in that jositioii it remains
exactly, the arrangement forsinking the
vessel being so leautifully and carefully
arranged. Ono ounce of water more
or lesH it is said, will cause the boat to
Eink lower or come nearer the surface.

The regular meeting of tho Roseburg
Fruit Grower's Association will be held
at the Grange Hall in Roseburg on Sat
urday, January 25th, ISOtf, at 1 o'clock

dancu of the members and all others that
