TEE WEEKLY OREGON STATESMAN
OWtial Paper of the I'ntted States.
FRIDAY,
Al'BIL 7,1876.
School reports are coming In from nil
Iit of the State. Tho Statesman will
-explain liow our Democratic Governor
was elected the last time and why he on
not be elected as Chief Justice, in a short
time. Those who feel interested wll!
please stand by and listen, or watch ci re
fullv each isne of t he Statesman.
GOV. WATKtNDS (with a (1) advertises
convict labor for sale. Of course he ex
pects a partner or "Some other man" to
bid It in and advertises in a sheet which
very fe.w ever look over. If he would ad
vertise for bids in the t-TATliMAN there
would be competition, and It is evident
that he does not want it. Weeklt States
man only f3 per annum.
Sf.vkkal parties question the propriety
ot the title of "Col." as applied to Col.
Gil fry and still Insist on calling him Hon.
11 r. Gilfry. There can be no doubt nbon
his right to the military title of Col., since
he can 11 dispatch during the Modoc
vir. ne was a member of the Governor's
tall' and did heroic service. The Col. is
a dashing writer on the Governor' organ,
and never deals in personalities. We have
great respect for such political opponent.
ok tovutb we u.
We apologize, of course, when we make
mistake. Supposing our State Treasur
er to be the "Co." of the firm of W. Jack
son & Co., we treated him as the capital
ist of the Arm. He informs u that he is
not a ruemler of the lirm, and of course
would not pravaricate on to Iritl ug a sub
ject. Elder Bush n ill plwe explain.

Under the law the election Board shall

The Directors are required to appoint an
election board, who shall receive and can
vass the votes. Let everybody tarn oat

member, the polls will be open from 2 to
6 o'clock p. M., Monday next.
The Governor's organ says:
By the courtesy of Col. T. II. Onnn.
Clerk of the Hoard of School Lrfuui
Commissioners, we are enabled to
place before our readers the following
list of sales of public land, for which
deeds have been made out: A. II.
Moore, 67.7(1 acres in Wasco county;
L. David 100 acres in Wasco county;

This information is refreshing but
the people would prefer to know how
much money and fur what purpose it
has been used. The ways of the mod
ern Democracy are very crooked.

On Monday next a Director and Clerk
t this school district are to be elected.
The Republican party is the only safe
guard or protection to onr common ehool
system, and it would be well to see that
the business be entrusted to such hands,
euly. AVe cannot; afford to risk to import
ant a trust in the bands of-the Democrat
ic party. Let some arrangements be

This is very definite and Urate lutereiit-

der obligations for it,. If anyone suspects
that such lands are being sold and the
funds used, he has only to look into the
matter to find out his mistake. While
looking np these matters it to well to keep
1n mind the fact that the Weekly States
man can be had at the moderate price of

police, practicing and abetting eri'nie"and
profligacy, acd at the same titno cutting
down w hite labor in every direction below
living rates. A faithful and graphic nar
rative of the effects of CIiIihww labor upon
trade and industry on this coast, would,
perhaps, go far to convince even the aver
age Congressman that the evils the new
competition is establishing never can be
compensated by the benefits of tradu Willi
China, and that it would be better for the
Pacille coast, and ultimately for the whole
Uuiou, if every treaty arrangement be
tween the two countries should be abroa
led, than at the present condition should
lie allowed to exist and expand. For U is
hero that the great question ot the future
labor of tho United status will have to be
determined, and it is here that an su0 to
the lull as important and tar-reaching a
that of slavery w ill have to be settled, lc

sbali then have converted the State into a
steoi.d Louisiana in slavery times. We
shall have lost the bone and sinew ot our
population the intelligent mechanic, the
thinking ciliein who can alone secure and
establish mII government, and should have
gained the equivalent of aslave population.
The old slave Slate conditions would inev

the entire revolulii u ol society as it at

ot K.-onage among the Chinese, wo should
find ourselves face to iaee with all the ev
