The results of republican legislation
for the past 3(1 years have demonstrated
the fact that it is an industrial party,
whose polities are best calculated io
serve the interests of the industrial
classes. Its first concern is to fiud em
ployment for labor at remunerative wages,
aud to protect a laborer in bis rights.
That is what the workingman asks—not

We cannot, iu closing, forbear to direct
your attention to the Hawaiian islands,
and our conduct as a nation toward them.
The best men of Hawaii, representing all
classes, and through the veins of whose
American ancestors coursed the blood of
those patriot men who promulgated the
sacred principle that it was an inborn
right to overthrow a tyrannous and
corrupt government, had dethroned a
licentious queen and established a pro
visional government, looking to annexa
tion to the United States. The Stars and
Stripes were unfurled to the breeze,
while our American republic was asked
to extend to them a helping hand, and
to give them a part in our great nation,
or recognize them in their righteous
efforts to become a free and independ

Washington, Feb. 6.—C. P. Hunting-
■ ton, who was before Pacific railroad oom-
uiiltee of senate today, made a suggestion
to the committee in the shape of a bill,
lookiug to the reorganization of the Cen
tral Pacific system. His proposition is
that the company shall give a mortgage
to the government, covering all its prop -
erty, in consideration of which it may
issue 5134.000,000 2 jo per cent bonds,
running 125 years, to be applied first to
replacement of the mortgage bonds of

ought to meet the condemnation of au

Only Waited for Waite.
Denver, Feb. 6 . - Gov. Waite delivered
a free trade speech before the Wool
Growers’ convention this morning. He
declared all tariff laws vicious, but if the
country cannot exist without a law of
this kind all articles should be taxed
alike. He declared the only feature of
the Wilson bill worthy of serious consid
eration was the income tax clause, which
he feared would be killed before the bill
became a law.
At the conclusion of the Governor’s re
marks a resolution was adopted denounc
ing the theory of free trade as unjust, as
under such a law over 1,000,000 wool
growers of the country would be ruined
while only 1000 woolen manufacturers
could be benefited. Free wool will not
cheapen clothing, but will deprive Amer
ican laborers of an opportunity to earn
their daily bread.
The Subject of Roads.
Writing on this subject. Prof. J. W
Speucer of Georgia says in a recent re
port:
In transportation a team cannot con
vey a loud greater than it can draw over
the worst part of the roads. I t is not
saying too much that the cost of bring
ing much of the cotton to market is
double or treble what it should be if the
roads were in good order. Indeed, the
cost of these few miles of transportation
is commonly greater than that of con
veying it from the market to the sea
board. Half of this cost at least, could
be saved with good roads, aud thus one
application of poor roads alone is seen to
cost the state $450,000. Iu one county
there were 10,000 horses, the feeding of
which at twenty-five cents a day cost
$70,000 for four weeks. During four
weeks the roads were in such a condition
that teaming was out of the question.
The horses were idle in the stable. It
cost the county at least this amount—the
bad roads.
Prof, Spencer favors the state govern
ment taking charge of the highways and
working the entire convict force of the
commonwealth upon them constantly.
He concludes as follows:
I t has been estimated that the loss
occasioned by bad roads costs the United
States no less than $350,000,000 a year.
What people do not directly pay for
they do not feel, but he who provides
against losses is the thrifty and well-to-
do man, and so with states; for extrav
agant waste and the gloomy side of bad
roads ought not to be perpetuated. The
bright side of good roads is not merely in
direct profite, but the increased value
of lands and the increased comfort
in traveling. A country without rail
roads is cheap today. A district from
which it costs more to convey the pro
duce to the nearest market than from it
to the markets of the world must also be
cheap. The cheapness, is overcome by
good roads.
Chinese New Year.
The Oregonian thus describes its
meaning: The celestial deities of China,
who reigned on this earth many centuries
before the dawn of Christianity, and
Kwong Sin, the young emperor of China,
will be honored today by every faithful
Chinamen the world over. Incense will
be burned, wine drunk and paeans sung
by the local worshippers, to whom this is
the day of days. All this ceremony ushers
in the Chinese New Year, the 20th since
Kwong Sin ascended the throne, and the
4,860th since the birth of Quong GoDg,
who is known and reverenced as the
father of his country.

Death of an Indian Chief.
(Crescent City Record. I
Chacha, the old Indian doctor, has
been a familiar figure aud person of
distinction since the first settlement of
the town iu the early fifties. His age of
course, is not kuown, b a t it is supposed to
be not far from a full ceutury.
Last Saturday night he died at bis
home at the “Chacha Ranchero?* which
takes its name from himself. Extreme
age rather than disease, was the cause of
hie death.
He was the Chief of all the Indian
t ribes here. His children have been dead
for many years, and as he leaves no im
mediate relatives it is not known to
whom—if any one—will fall bis robes of
honor.
The old Chief was very conservative,
and adapted himself but slowly to the
exigencies of civilization—in fact he
never learned to drink or gamble.
Of late years .the doctor has worn
clothes. There was a time when our
town was young that he walked the
streets in very primitive attire. Then
came the transition period, when, his
manly form, enveloped iu a blanket, with
the ends fastened around his neck, he
strutted majestically about, a startling if
not imposing figure. Afterward, when
with increasing years and decreasing
fiesh, as life’s vital forces began to run
low, be appreciated the genial warmth
obtained from a miscellaneous outfit of
misfit clothing, and was the recipient of
cast-off garments from many of onr best
and largest citizens. The doctor was
of small stature, hardly above five feet,
and of ¡breadth and thickness in propor
tion.
A shrewd observer of human nature
was he, also somewhat of a humorist, and
his jokes had both point and depth.
More than one unlucky white man has
made prompt “potlach” of the coveted
dime or quarter ou being singled out as
a victim.
A round the camp-fires, aud in times of
trouble between the whites and Indians
the Doctor always counseled peace. In
his rude way he upheld the dignity of
his tribe, aud bis voice was always lifted
against intemperance and the vices to
which his race fell so readily a victim
wbeu brought iu contact with civiliza
tion. Poor untutored savage, he ruled
his little baud with Buch wisdom as the
“Great Spirit” had given him. May he
smoke the “pipe of Peace” with the de
parted braves of his tribe around the
camp-fires in the “Happy Hunting
Grounds” above.
There is no excuse for any man to ap
pear in society with a grizzly beard since
the introduction of Buckingham’s Dye,
which colors a natural brown or black.
Life is Opportunity.
“Everybody cannot be rich, but every
body can try to be decent,” was one of
Mr. Childs’ sayings, which deserves to be
ranked with Franklin's aphorisms. Speak
ing of Longfellow to an interviewer, Mr.
Childs said:
“I prize very much the note he sent
me March 13, 1877, apropos of his 70th
birthday. ‘You do not know yet,’ it reads,
‘what it is to be 70 years old. I will tell
you so that you may not be taken by
surprise when your turn comes. I t is
like climbing the Alps. You reach a
snow-crowned summit, and see behind
you the deep valley stretching miles and
miles away, and before yon other sum
mits higher and whiter, which you may
have strength to climb, or may not. Then
you sit down and meditate, and wonder
whish it will be. That is the whole story,
amplify it as you may. All that one can
say is that life is opportunity.’ How
very true this is I know full well. My
experience enables me to perceive the
wisdom of the poet’s words.”
There is refreshment in such words
from such men. The world at onoe sees
that it is not the speech of the profes
sional talker.

C. E. Hoskins, of Springbrook, has
made an interesting experiment this year
with feeding prunes to hogs. When

from the grader and dried without clean

hogs with and found the results very
satisfactory. The hogs did remarkably
well on their prune diet and the pork
was of unusually good flavor, as might
be expected. Mr. Hoskins expresses the
opinion that every prime grower should
make a note of this and try that experi
ment next fall. No prunes the size m en
tioned ought to be sent to market from
Oregon, under any circumstantjes, and if,
as his experience last year indicates,
they have special value as hog feed they
should be used for that purpose. The
knowledge of such a fact would also be
of value in case there should at aDy time
be such a depression in the price of
wheat at this time. Oregon hogs raised
on clover and milk, and finished off with
prunes, ought to give a product rivaling
in quality the famous Westphalia hams
which sell for about double the price of
the best corn-fed product.—(Rural North
