' For the past fifty years the negr question in the United States has been tha "white man's harden ;" and today . Jt is a -greater burden to every state eonth of Mason and Dixon's line than it was the first day that "John Brown's body" was laid in the grave and "his soul went marching on" in the tremen dous straggle resulting in the emanci pation of the'slaves and making them in the twinkling of an eye full-fledged citi aens of these United States the grand est and highest country in all the essen tials of true civilization that this old world Las "ever known. By the mere signing of the proclamation by Presi dent Lincoln two and one-half millions of .uneducated, ignorant negroes were declared to be free and equal to the citi ceus of a republic whose excellence had . been attained through two thousand years of hourly, daily, yearly toil for ad- Yancement in liberty and civilisation and working out an ever upward pro pulsive destiny in which "God shall en large Japheth and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem ; and Canaan shall be his servant." Up to this time" the proph esy has been literally fulfilled, for Ja pbeth has enlarged and with the possi ble exception of two nations the tents of . Shem have surrendered to Japheth and Canaan has been the servant, the hewer of wood and drawer of water, either voir untaryor in voluntary, for the past fire thousand years. England was the first government to declare that there should be so slaves in her vast possessions and in 1833, in the House of Parliament, the eloquent Lord Brougham exploded the false theory aad characterized it as "the wild and guilty phantasy that man can hold property in man." To free the 781,000 slaves in the British West In - dies alone, the English nation paid 1100,000,000 to the slaveholders, but England, while she purchased and made the slaves free, did not declare them to be equal, nor was the franchise placed in their hands. That could only be grant ad after decades of years of preparation and knowledge in the art of benevolent and staple government; and throughout " the British colonies since the emancipa tion of the slaves they have been gov erned exclusively by white men and peace and prosperity have prevailed, for the negroes realize that they are an in ferior race and not the equals of the proud Anglo-Saxon race of men. When- ever the ex-elaves and negroes have at tempted innovations or to interfere with '" the proper and just execution of law or - - to shield a malefactor charged with he inous offenses the retribution meted out has been very swift and drastic. . By Buch methods life and property rights are accounted sacred and assaults on white women are practically unknown. We would to God that we eould say the same about the negroes of the Southern states of this country, where the white men 'do not have merely to carry the burdep during the day but when the even ing shadows darken into somber night outside of every town is found the con tinual, ever present nightmare of dread of what the night may bring forth. The people of the Northern and Western states know nothing of this horrible , state of affairs in which a husband, fa ther or brother is afraid to leave a country home for a moment unprotect ed in many places by day and in every place at night. And talk as we may about the hanging, and burning and the trimming of negroes, if a white woman on the Pacific slope was assaulted by one of those black, beastial brutes there would be but few white men who would raise their" Voice against the "punish ment. - The ultimate end of this state of affairs is hard to tell. In the next M forty years in every one of the Southern states outside of the large cities the negroes will outnumber the whites, or rather pure whites, two to .one ; and even today if an election was held and the negroes voted their full vote, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, the southern half of Arkansas, ani the southeastern quarter of Texas wonld be dominated by negroes. While there were only about 2,500,000 negroes in the United States in 1863, it is estimated that in forty years they have increased to 10, 000,000, and with this ratio of increase in forty years time there will be 40,000, 000. . There is no use in pooh-poohing such statements ; facts are facts, and while figures may be used to convey a lie and figures of speech a wrong im pression, yet this fact is clear to every thinking man in the Southern states, that instead of Japheth being enlarged . that Ham is increasing at a rate hard to comprehend. Throughout the United States the old fashioned large family is a thing of the past and there are fewer and fewer marriages relatively to the white population, while in the Southern states the negroes commence to increase population at the age of thirteen and fourteen and frequently run up -the number of children in the family -tr otherwise to eighteen or - twenty and when we consider that the young pickaninnies can be clothed with a meal sack if they have any dress at all, kept healthy and fat on corn pone, lasses and water, and at the age of 21, if a male, though ha may not know the difference between the sign of the letter B and the track made by a cow's hoof, yet his vote kills the. vote of an intelligent, educated white man, it will be seen ftenrv?oiiti cal standpoint that the Southern prob lem is hard to solve. It-miot be solved fey forcing on the Southern states negro office holders. It- 'cannot be solved by merely educating them for that only fills the cities with colored dudes and dudines. It cannot be set tled by colonizing or pandering for their political support. It cannot be settled by killing them off on. the sly for the ttthrate U now fully 600,000 each year, and the only thing there is left for these United States to do is to let the South ern states disfranchise them and thus let the white man work out the prob lem of destiny; and the 'Northern and Western states should then quaran tine against the "black belt" and pro tect their altars, their homes and their country from "the pestilence that walketh in darkness," and "the de struction that waetath at noonday." We know that such sentiments and such plain talk is not relished by some peo ple and that the men in the North and the papers which are continually hounding the whites in the Southern states do not know the true state of affairs existing in the "black belt" or blood would prove to be thicker than water. We, do know, how ever, that if ever . there was a coun try where the "sin and iniquity" of the slave traffic has brought forth an har vest of evil and evil continually ; a curse opon the people even to the third and fourth generation, it is in the - Southern states of this country ; and to avoid the curse hundreds and thousands of the brightest miuds in the South are leaving the country and settling in the North ern . states. The writer knows from ac tual experience the facts as they exist. He went to the South in full sympathy with the colored man as a whole and in two years' time his sympathy was with the tens of thousands of white people who are sought to be placed under the niggar's heel. Roseburg Eugene Debate. The Masquerade Ball. Oakland News. No Persecution la This. Hon. Binger Hermann. Hon. Binger Hermann visited Eugene last Monday, March 23rd, and received an ovation at his rooms in the Smeede hotel in the afternoon and at the Com mercial Club in the evening from his personal and political friends and admir ers. Mr. . Hermann was always very companionable and agreeable to every body, old and young, rich and poor alike, regardless of politics, creeds or nationality, and he has not lost any of that attractive power or the excellent memory that makes it agreeable to his friends whom he. never forgets. This has always been a large factor in his po litical success at was used against him. by the combination of politicians and newspapers that prevented his nomina tion in 1896, after he had served in Con gress 10 years, when their main objec tion to him was that he was too oblig ing and agreeable and made the other candidates tired and kept them waiting too long for their turn by indulging what they called the "double and" shake." But nevertheless this is an excellent quality in a public jnan or in any person for that matter. Personally very few will oppose him, and politically, just at this time, he has the support of the ar tillery, the cavalry; the infantry, the horse marines, the commissary, the baggage wagons, the ammunition, the offices, the sinews of war, and about all that is considered worth living for in this commercial -age. His nomination by the Republicans in the Convention to be held at Eugene, Apt il 9, to fill his old place in Congress, which a combina tion knocked him out of in 1896, by pooling their votes for Tongue, now seems well assured ; and his election, judging from present appearance, is .likely to follow, unless some unexpected change in public opinion shall take place between now and the first day of June next. Mr. Hermann went north on the early .train Tuesday morning. Eugene Journal. A large and enthusiastic audience as sembled at the Roseburg theater on Sat urday night to hear the debate between a picked team from the Eugene High School debating club and three of Ro&e- burg's High School boys, the question discussion being: Resolved that it would be to the beet interest of the peo ple of the United States for the Govern ment to own and operate the coal mines ; the home boys taking the affirmative. The curtain rose promptly ot 8 :30 midst long continued cheers, and showed Mr. Tom Townsend in the chair, the affirms' tive team at his left and the negative at his right, seated at library tables the former conspicuously displaying their orange and black, the latter flaunting the purple and white. Eugene sen down a well drilled team, of very clevet bright young fellows, Messsrs Wheelerr Stock well and Kuykendall. These young men all possessed good voices and pleasing presence, presented their argu ments in a clear concise manner, and won, each in turn, the sympathy of his hearers but for bringing to bear con clusive arguments for their position, the Roseburg team composed of Messrs. Vol ney Dixon, Emery Davidson and John Townsend, proved too much for them, and after but a few momenta the judges Rev. Bennett, Messrs Rice and Coehow, decided for the affirmative. The action of the Eugene boys, who instantly upon the report crossed the stage to congratu late their triumphant opponents, won them loud and hearty cheers. Besides the debaters Messrs Crow and Ford of Eugene, were down. Immediately fol lowing the debate, the visitors were ten dered a very delightful reception by the young ladies of the High School at the home of Miss Lillian Stanton, the host ess being assisted by Misses Veil Barker, Rose Parrot t Gertrude Rast, Kate Ful lerton andEthel Brookes.

The masquerade dance which was given Friday night at the Armory hall Dy rioi. Lane ona Koy bioper was a success in every respect. There were about 100 spectators and about 30 mask ers who had a good time, and made the onlookers have a good time too. Owing to the fact that "The Two Orphans" was played in town the same night a great number of dancing people atteqd ed the show and did not mask, however, after the performance all the dancers came over from the show and made a total of about fifty couples, just about all "that the hall would accommodate idoya sniier, r. m.

Last Friday in New York the appellate divisions of the Supreme Court in Brook lyn has reserved the conviction of J. Luther Pierson, of Vahalla, Westchester County, who was charged with failing I to obtain a physican's services for his 16-months-old adopted daughter when the infant became ill. The child's death resulted in Pierson's arrest. Pierson maintained that as a member of tle Christian Catholic Church of Chicago! he could best help the child by prayer. Judge Bartlett, who wrote the opinion, found that the facts in the indictment I did not constitute a crime. Largest Stocll of General Merchandise in the City Fish Bellows - For Sale. A splendid team of heavy draft bora. Address P. O. Box 43, Roseburg, Ore gon. a5 , The St. Louis grand jury Las . return ed a large number of indictments against the keepers of houses where numbers of girls are kept for immoral purposes. The investigation of the grand jury re veals a system of "white slavery" that is hard to comprehend. Hundreds upon hundreds of girls are decoyed from the 1 country and then kept in an absolute state of bondage and forced to submit to I the wishes of their "masters. The Rev. Dr. R. T. Ryan, of the Southern Baptist church, who, for the last 1? years, has been a missionary in China, was in San Francisco last Satur day, en roote to his home in North Caro lina. He reported that the rumors of prospective trouble from an insurrection in Southern China have been greatly ex aggerated He does not believe any se rious trouble is to be apprehended. The withdrawal of the garrison from Shang hai recently caused an idle rumor to start to the effect that trouble was about to arise. China has, in fact, according to Dr. .Ryan, never before been in such good condition for the invasion of peace ful missionaries and other foreigners. Some inconvenience is always to be feared in out-of-the-way places from small bands of insurrectionists, but in the main the country is not disturbed. We find the following item going the round of the press : "An Iowa man be lieves that it is possible to interbreed the Artie ninskox with cattle of the -temperate zone, and that the stock so pro duced would be able to withstand the severe winters of the United States. He has been in communication on the sub ject with Peary, the Artie explorer, who is favorably impressed with the idea. The vast loss among herds on the west ern ranges has inspired him to the necessity of trying to infuse hardier blood into A merican cattle." Unfortunately for the theory it will not work out in practice. When such J animals do breed the get is an hybrid, the same as the cross between buffalo and Galloway cattle ; this breed of cattle being the only one with the exception of Angus cattle which will mix blood even for the first generation and then the off springs is always from our domestic cows, and even then the death loss to the cows caused by the hump on the calves shoulders, kills fivecows to every calf that is raised.

A few of the county newspapers are fighting the Hon. Binger Hermann for congress. Prominent among the papers is the Ashland Tribune that evidently by its articles wants a man for congress with a skull so thick and hard that a proposition could not be driven into it with a maul. For the edification, de- lection and preparation to eat their crow, without a struggle' the Plaikdbaleb states that Mr. Hermann will be nomi nated for Congress on the first ballot. Dairy Commission Bailey is making a record in starting a crusade against 12 and 13 ox. butter to the pound and is doing good work, but if he can succeed propagating a strawberry box with the bottom where the bottom should be in stead of one-third np the side, an ap preciative public will rise up and called him blessed. Reports from New York State that bonds are to be issued by the Southern Pacific Railroad company to enable the managements to build a double track from Portland to ' San Francisco. The tremendous amount of freight and pass engers business and the ever increasing traffic on the road renders a double track necessary. The Reverend Bennett for some .time past has been showing up the claimed fallacies of the Adventist Church and as the matter has got to be a festering sore in the hearts of professed Christians, the Reverend Soule, pastor of the Ad ventist Church, has determined to ap ply the burning knife of ancient surgery, and cut out what he believes to be a cancerous growth. With this end in view the opera house has been rented for next Saturday night, and the Rev. Soule will answer the Rev. Bennett's sermons. It had been announced at the various churches that the meeting Would be on Friday night, but as Vir ginia Drew Trescott will be here that night the meeting had to be postponed to Saturday night. If these two worthy ministers get fairly started in the dis cussion, theological fur, hair and feath ers will be knee deep all over the city, for the Adventists, like the Methodists in their early days, are hard to down in argument on their peculiar faith. , A report has been circulated with every evidence of verity, that the Ore gon Short Line and the Oregon Railroad and Navigation Gompany : have consoli dated.

Last Saturday afternoon at Seattle, while the strike was in progress guns were bought into play shortly after the beginning of the second day of the street car siriKe, out fortunately none was fired, and no blood was shed.

Miners Approve Commission Report. At II arelton, Pa., on Friday the ex ecutive committee of district No. 7, United Mioeworkersof America, notified the independent coal operators, that the miners will insist upon the award of the strike commission being carried' out to the letter.. These two firms, according to members of the board, have suggested to the men that work be continued un der existing conditions, without regard to the arbitrament. The propositions was rejected at a meeting of the ex ecutive board. There will be held a meeting at the Roseburg Board of Trade room at eight o'clock tonight. The meeting will be addressed by Frank V. Drake, Superin tendent and W. M. Killingworth Secre tary, of the Oregon Information Bureau of Portland. There is no subscription to be taken up as all that is wanted is for Douglas County to furnish an exhibit at the Portland Union Depot. Every citi zen of the county is invited and especi ally the county officials. " "' Good Horse for Sale.
