W. GORMAN, YAQUINA CITY. A statement prepared by the com missioner of immigration shows the number of immigrants who arrived in this country in the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1896, to have been 343, 267, as compared with 258,526 dur ing the fiscal year ending 1895. Of the whole number 212,466 were males 130,801 females. The coun tries from which the imigrants came are given as follows: Austro-Hun-gary, 65,103; Italy, 68,080; Russia, 58,816; Germany, 31,885; United Kingdom.64,637; all other countries 6 1 ,446. The whole number debarred and returned during that year was 3,037, as follows: Paupers, 2,010; contract laborers, 776; idiot, 1; in sane, 1 ; diseased, 2. Returned with in one yea. hecause of their having become public charges, 258. The total number debarred and returned in 1895 was 2,586. The caves in Josephine county, Oregon, are at an altitude of 4100 feet above sea level, and are on the north side of one of the spurs of Grayback mountain. They are on unsurveyed land, and are as yet no man's property. Pendleton East Oregonian: It mav interest some people in Pendle ton as well as all over the land, to know that Joaquin Miller lias de clared for P.ryan for president and will take the platform to help along his election. The old poet loves his fellow man, and he considers by helping the brotherhood of man which aggrandized wealth is des troying. We say with fervor hur rah, for the old poet! His voice is the voice of Oregon, for he is a true son of Oregon, who flies with her own wings, as all truly Democratic things should fly. The 0. A. C. President. The board of regents of the Ore gon Agricultural college held a a meeting last Tuesday afternoon, at which time they elected a presi dent of that institution to succeed Prof. J. M. Bloss, who recently re signed. The principal candidate for that position was Hon. H. B. Miller, of Grants Pass, and Mr. Miller was the successful candidate also. In the selection of a president a strong fight was made, some of the regents feeling that it would be to the best interests oft he school to place a man ot known reputation as an ed ucator at the head of the institution. However, this element of the board ot regents was voted down by a vote of eight to five. The action of the board in the selection of Mr. Miller, as president, does not give satisfaction to friends of the school in this county. Mr. Miller has many warm political friends hee, and is esteemed as a gentleman of honor and integrity, but there is a firm belief that he has no qualification as an educator. There is also a strong belief among the friends of the O. A. C. in this county that there should be an ab solute divorcement of the school from polotics, and the selection of Mr. Miller is trpnprnllv lnnlcprl nnrm " ' . . ,.L.: as a nolitical deal.

"In the ordinary Illinois A Doubtful State. The Times-Herald, the great McKinley organ of Chicago, re ports Mr. Jameson, chairman of the republican state committee of Illinois, as saying: "Illinois is not in the republican column to day." He says it is a time for plain speaking and he tells the republicans that "that young fire brand, Bryan, will land himself in the white house if the republicans continue to underestimate the force of the movement behind him." They don't seem to be able to realize that the country has gone from bad to worse under their financial management until there is a general revolt among the common people. The people may not know what the proper remedy is, but they know the republicans are responsible for the present condi tion of affairs and they think any change is better than to keep 011 under republican laws that avail naught but oppression to the masses. Hence, the sentiment in favor of some change, almost any change, is prevalent among the people of all parties. The Treasury Department. "The Treasury Department is the steam plant from which all the The fame of Newport as a sum mer resort does not lessen with the lapse of time, but on tbe other hand grows year by year. The number of visitors and campers there now equal the number at this time any other year, and each coast bound train adds three or four loaded coach es of pleasure seekers to the crowd. The high water mark will probably be reached about the middle of August, when there will probably be the largest crowd at Newport, that that popular summer resort has. ever had. There is a general demand over the state for the abolition of the June election, on account of the added cost. While it is true that the ex pense of a double election is some what heavy, yet it must be remem bered that the expense of an extra election has to be borne but once in every four years. And it must also be remembered that in Oregon, par ticularly in "Webfoot" Oregon, the month of November is usually one of much rain fall, and in rural districts a large percentage of votes would be kept away from the polls by reason thereof. Mr. Hughes, of Washington county, to fill the vacancy. Mr. Hughes cast the decisive ballot for Mr. Miller, as the vote would have stood six and six had Mr. Miller been one of the regents and not-voted for himself. We cannot help but feel hat there has been a very unfortunate mistake made in the selection of a president. There is a certain feel ing against the Agricultural college in existence throughout the state already. This feeling was in a fair way of being overcome bv the care ful management of the school, and had the standard of the school and its officers been kept high, this feel ing would have soon died out. But as it is now all the old antagonism will be aroused. At the meeting besides selecting a president the board also chose Miss Helen V. Crawford, of Albany as instructor of elocution; H. F. Condon, of Eugene, was made sten- ograpner, dook Keeper ana pur-j chasing agent; Prof. Berchtold, was made deau of the college, and Geo. Clark and Lester M. Lelaud were given charge of the printing department. If the populists are in earnest in their support ot the principle of free coinage, let them go at it in a business way. The thing for them to do is to withdraw Watson as a vicepresidential candidate and give Bryan and Sewall a hearty support. There is no time now to be divided by the influences of the single standard people. Astoria Regatta. ' Astoria will hold its third annual regatta during the week of August 18-22, which will include the State Firemen's tournment. The battleship Oregon will Be in the harbor during the week, and one of the features will be an ocean race between two of the fastest schooners on the Pacific coast. Astoria is making great preparations for the event, and expects to entertain at least 20,000 people. inary operations of government it is only a collecting and disbursing agency collecting such taxes as congress has authorized, and paying out the money as directed by law. It would be an ideal condition ot" things if the Treasury Department received each morning; iust the j sum of money it had to pay out i that day no surplus money out of i use in its vaults, no deficit to be met by loans. But things cannot be so nicely adjusted. Wars make burdens that a single generation cannot bear, and they must, in part, be put over upon other gener ations, by the sale of time bonds bearing interest. Out of the great expenditure for the supression of the rebellion of 1861 it has come to pass that the government furnishes, either directly or through the national banks, all of the money used by the people. The Treasury Department is now a great bank. and no longer a mere public col lecting and disbursing agency. It issues paper money, receives it in payment of customs duties and internal taxes, and pays it out again for salaries, supplies and public works. It is also required to re deem tbe greenbacks and treasury notes to give coin in exchange foi them if demanded."

All doubt as to Tammany's in tentions concerning the Chicago ticket and platform has been set at rest by the issue of a call for a meet ing of the executive committee Friday to arrange details for ratify ing the ticket. This step was de cided upon by Mr. Martin and John C. Sheehan in accordance with the expressed desire of 32 out of 35 dis trict leaders of Tammany. Senator Hill and other leaders of the state organization have endeavored to in duce Tammany to defer action until after the state convention, but the majority of the district leaders in the wigwam is opposed to any postpon ment and the ratification meeting to endorse the Chicago ticket will be held next week.
