While other nations, especially G reat , Britain, have more reason than the United States to fear being involved in case of hostilities in the Far East, none is for trade reasons so directly or so largely interested. "Within the year the United States has passed Great Britain in the amount of its trade with Japan. No other natiou has trade interests with the "island king dom" at all comparable with theso two. Russian trade with Japan is a tritlc. United States Consul Heonan, in Odessa, reports that 1903 has been a very good year for the sale of American farming tools in Kussia.

' In his inaugural address delivered last Tuesday before a joint session of the Mississippi Legislature, Governor James Vardaman declared that the growing tendency of the negro to commit crimi nal assaults on white women is nothing more or less than the manifestations of the racial desire for social equality. In strong terms ho declared that education is the curso of the negro race, and urged an amendment to the state constitution that will place the distribution of the common school funds entirely within the power of the Legislature.

It was predicted some time ago as soon as it was known that the au thorities in Washington would not rein state Mr. Thomson, that Al Roberts would be named as bis successor. That D. L. Martin statement was based on the fact that Roberts had been identified with the Republican party and chosen by United States Marshal Matthews as a deputy until some other good position was open and that he would bo named for the va cancy in the LaGrande office as soon as the opening occurred. A. A. Roberts was appointed United States Deputy Marshal at the time Marshal Matthews assumed office. He had held that posi tion up to the time of the selection of Mr Matthews as United States Mashal, and upon the latter's appoiitment bo was named as a deputy. Just when ho will assume office is not known, aa the com mission has not as yet reached here, but it is expected that as soon as it does he will file his bond and take charge of the office as Receiver.) New York, Jan. 20 It is reported here, says a Herald dispatch from St. Thomas, D. W. I., that the Domincan Minister of Foreign Affairs, accompanied by a delegate, has left Santo Domingo ior Washington to attempt to make arrangements with the Uuited States to establish a protectorate over the Republic of Santo Domingo. Vigorous bonbardment of the capital continues by the forces of General J iminez. Many refugees, in cluding several Deputies, have arrived here on the French steamer from Port au Prince, Hayti. New York, Jan. 20 Seven hundred government soldiers are on the march to Santiago, the rebel strong hold, says a Herald dispatch from Puerto Plata, Santo Domingo. It is believed this battle will be the most important of the Jaminez revolution. The rebels are firmly intrenched in their capital, and it is presumed they will make a desperate resistance. Details of the recapture of Puerto Plata a few days ago by the government forces show, according to the Herald's correspondent, that the commander of an American war vessel in the harbor practically managed the battle, and that a fighting zone demarked by the commanders of the United States and British warships was accepted by the contending forces. President Morale's troops promptly respected the order to cease firing, although General Jiminez, forces, when routed, ran through the streets and continued to fire in all directions. An American force, composed of eight men, with the Stars and Stripes, went to the firing line and de manded a suspension of hostilities. The commander of the United States warships then landed a force of 100 men and arranged for the surrender of the fort. The Americans disarmed the Jiminez forces, and later turned the fort to General Cespedes, in command of the government troops. East Umpqua. Congratulations.

We began by using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in 1887, and finding it such a reliable remedy for colds and croup, wo have never been without it in the house since that time. Wo have five children and and have given it to all of them with good results. - One good feature of this remedy is that it ib not disagreeable to take and our babies really like it.

East Umpqua has so long been unrep resented, that tho people of the county really do not know that in this small bailiwick, bounded on the west by Mount Scott, and extending eastwardly to Crater lake, that people existed, and some, even were living, ana idm 11 is a portion of the land of the free, and the incubator of the timber cruiser. In the past two years, this has been one of the storm centers of the timber craze. The cruiser has been much in evi dence, convoying female ladies and di vers male men to homesteads upon the virgin wilds of fir timber and canias meadows, where they can find homes and quietude, and be entertained by the soft nurrinc of Ute festive wildcat, tho joyous howl of the wolf, and the friend ly snarl of the innocent cougar, all for the sum of $100 per lady or gentleman victim. Another attraction lies in the many rumors that secretary hhcucock pro poses to increase the Forest Reserves, and that anyone locating within the mits of proposed increase, must take chances of an order to vacate, and a journey on snow shoes to the McClallcn House, thence by rail to homes in ash- ington, Minnesota, and divers other for eign lands, and be Eafely at their own firesides where they can leisurely "cuss Granny Ilitchcock. The homestead idea is both alluring and catching, especially when backed by tho commutation clause, and the readiness of some capitalist or corpora tion to accept, at a good price, the com muted increment.

I am advised j that the minimum illiteracy among tbe j negroes is found in New England, where ' it is 21.4 per cent.

"The better da of negroes is not re sponsible for this terrible condition, nor for the criminal tendency of their race. Nor do I wish to be understood as cen suring them for it. I am not censuring anybody, nor am I inspired by ill-will for the negro ; but I am simply calling attention to a most unfortunate and un ondurable condition of affairs. What shall be done about it? "My own idea is that the character of the education for the nero ought to ba changed. If, after years of earn-ist effort and the expenditure of fabulous sums of money to educate his head, we have only succeeded in making a criminal out of him, wisdom could snggest that we make another expe.iinent and sec if we cannot improve him by educating his hand and his heart. There must be a moral substratum upon which to build, or you cannot make him a desirable citizen."
