C ash ier 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 charity. 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 ent people. A republican president ac­ cepted the trust, and a republican con­ Paid Up Capital, $100,000.00 gress would have gladly extended to the straggling people the strong protective Does a General Banking Business, arm of American civilization.

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 the Central Pacific aud California and Western Pacific railroad, amounting to 527,853,000, also to the redemption bonds issued on account of the California aud Oregon company, amounting 536,000,000.

We believe we voice the sentiment of every patriot when we allege that this cowardly aud un-American conduct upon the part of a democratic administration ought to meet the condemnation of au outraged people. 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. th e best e q u ip p e d jo b o f f ic e IN SOUTHERN OREGON. 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. Catarrh Cannot he Cured. with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Ca­ tarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, and in order to cure you must take inter­ nal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken internally, and acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physicians in this coun­ try for years, and is a regular prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous surfaoes. The perfect combination of the two in­ gredients is what produces suoh wonderful results in oaring catarrh. Send for testi­ monials. free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Props., Toledo, O.

Prunes for Hogs. C. E. Hoskins, of Springbrook, has made an interesting experiment this year with feeding prunes to hogs. When grading his prunes before drying, all prunes which passed through the 7-8 inch opeuiDg (prunes which would run from 120 to 140 per pound when dried) were placed on the trays ju st q* they came from the grader and dried without clean­ ing and dipping. These he used to feed 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 west. • When Baby was sick, we gave her Castoria.
