Two weeks ago we printed the
platform of the Oregon Democracy
and to-dny tho Republican platform
is given. We propose to treat both
parties aiike.
The wool clip of Orpgon this year
will bo a million pounds more than
it was 1 ist year. The quality of the
staple is also bi-in improved each
year by our wool growers.
Smith and bloody, the candidates
of the Democratic and the Republi
can parties, respectively, for Gov
ernor, have agreed not to stump the
State nor employ any one else to do
it for them.
The Apaches are on their regular
spring raid in ArizonM. Numbers of
whites have been murdered alreadv.
How long will the government con
tinue to feed and fatten Indinns on
reservations, that they may murder
the frontier settlers?

our the Jeannatte, ostcnsiblytoriiunt
for the the north polp, but really to
advertise his paper. The Jeannette
not returning, the government pur - '
chased and manned the Rodgers and
sent her to 'bunt for the -Jeannette.
Now the Rjdgers has been destroyed
and the Corwin has gone to resrue
the crew. This is a good way to dis
pose of old and worthless ships, but
it occasions a fearful risk of life.
The Hon. Geo. F. Hoar, of Mass.
achusetts, wa-a leading opponent of
the bill restricting Chinese immigra
ition.. In the course of a lengthy
speech which he made in the Senate
on the subject, he quoted the fol
lowing extract from a letter written
by Joaquin Miller .to the New York
Tribune:
"These people were terribly taxed
by the county authorities; but they
always came up promptly, and with
out a word of complaint paid what
-was demanded of them. At Canvn
City, Grant ounty, Oregon, this
monthly tax was 85 a head for every
Chinaman. They had constantly to
endme wrongs from every drunken
ruffian or leckless "hoodlum'' wlio
saw fit to impose uj3on thorn; yet
they were Ihe most peaceful people
we h d among us. I sat on tho
bench as judge of this county for
four years, i;nd 1 will state on he
1. . jc . ii .ii i V.
uuuoi.- (,i u magistrate mat tne calen
dar bot- civil and or minal, showed
the names of at least ten white men
to one Chinaman, although the Chi
nese population, during the most of
this time, outnumbered the whites."
Joaquin Miller should bo more
particular to tell the truth upon "the
Jionor of a magistrate' His letter,
the greater part of which is not giv
en, for lack of space, is untrue from
first to last. It is of the same Iridiey
;as th3 mass of false statements by
which the people of the East are
misled in regard to the Chinese ques
tion. Chinamen ware nevei requir
ed to pay a monthly tax of 5 per
bead at Canyon City. The foreign
miner's tax was $5 per quarter.
Chinunen are the most systematic
and persistent evader- of taxpaying
known to our officers. Owing to
the fact that they dress alike and
are of tho same general appearance,
they frequently manage t jmake one
poll tax receipt answer for half a
dozen or more persons. The Chinese,
population of this town or county
never equalled, much less outnum
bered the whites. That their names
dc not appear upon the records of
our courts as frequeutlv as do the
whites, is true. The Chinese settle
the ir private difficulties without re
port to courts of law. The pistol ,i
ihe knife settles their feuds more ef
fectually than courts; while their
crime are never known outside of
their own company, except in rare
instances. If the criminal is a mem
Lcr of a rival aompany, or is without
n onev and friends ho i H
