By men posted and who rea son the opinion has been main tained that China would suffer more than United States in the long run as a result of the boy cott she was declared to have instituted against American pro ducts. As one or the other party is certain to be worsted, boycott ing becomes serious business. It has been pointed out in these columns before that China would be the loser ultimately as the re sult of the boycott. The reason was plain she required our pro ducts. Never at any time did China or any other nation buy our goods simply . to benefit us. They bought of us because we had for sale what they required, and, prices and quality consider ed, we would do better by the purchasers than any other nation could on the articles desired. We do not want, nor will we admit China's coolie horde. They are undesirable from any sane standpoint the country is better off without them. This is no discrimination against China, for on the same principle this coun ' try would fare far better if the scum of Europe were not allow ed to set foot on Yankee soil". The better class of citizens of any civilized country will not be excluded, although the time 1 . , a.; 1. t w iieu our miiigiauuii laws must be made more severe is not far distant. Good, respectable citi- . zens, capable of assisting in the j development and upbuilding of this land will be treated with all courtesy and respect and laws made that will be just and appeal to the sense of righteousness of all: So it is with China and her better class. While we may not grant the Chinese the privileges of citizenship, we will enact new laws granting more freedom to the better classes of that king dom. As regards the bestowal of citizenship that is different, We retain as our right the mat' ter of granting or withholding citizenship to or from any people. Saner counsel has prevailed in China and steps are being taken to subdue the boycott waged against American products. An imperial edict has been wafted throughout that dragon land and good results are reported to be tailing along in the wake of said imperial decree. A few days ago the state department at Washington received from Minis ter Rockhill the following cable gram, which gives an idea of the Chinese situation and steps taken to end the boycott: - Imperial edict published yesterday says that long and deep friendship between the United States and China ha! never been tried as now. The United States Government has promised to revise the treaty and people should peacefully await action of both governments. Boy cott wrong and harming friendly rela tions.; It (edict) commands Viceroys and Governors to take effective action, mak ing them strictly responsible. Undoubt edly will have good effect. Shanghai reported yesterday situation improving. From this one may safely as sume that sumething has hap pened to put the Chinese wise to the fact that they can best serve their own interests by not at tempting to put '.'Uncle Sam" out of business. KEEP FROM THE EDGE. .- v X : As the moth is drawn toward a flame, so we find certain folr lowers of all political faiths act ing. : There are those' who are never satisfied without they are ' 'teetering on the edge. ' ' That there is little sense or necessity for such a teeter is ably set forth by the Albia (Iowa) Union, as follows: The Republican party is old' 1 t -m !jf it orirmnt y.p f1Rfp(i fn rinndlf.

" i itseu capame oi aoing, cnen ic should be ousted and Democracy, populism or socialism put in its place. All the good laws we have for the protection of American industries and the good wages of American workingmen have been given by the Republican party, and when that protection is torn down by tinkering with the tariff the good wages will go down with. it. Cleveland's adminis tration proved that so clearly that every laborer in the land cannot forget it. Disgruntled Republicans of today will have occasion to remember the hard times of free souphouse experi ences'and depression of business on all lines just prior to the first election of William McKinlev in 1896 if they continue to howl for Bryan and La Follette, who are stumping the country in the in terest of populism on the Chau tauqua passport this year. We warn, but do not dictate. Any man is privileged to run after iaise goas 11 ne wants anew altar . of worship. But the honest toiler who wants a full dinner pail and a job that will make his family comfortable will look long before he leaps into the populist band wagon : again. TTT1 ( 1 wnacever nas been needed m reciprocity with other countries the Republican party has given and it may be safely trusted to with that work in the future. Democracy means positive Free- Trade, and the covert opinions on reciprocity by some Repub lican editors are furnishing material for Democratic suprem acy as fast as they - can make it up and shoot into, the public under the guise of needed recip rocity, according to the Iowa idea. It is not the Demoncrat, or the Populist, or the Socialist who is being hoodwinked. It is the Republican alone- It has al ways been the Republican. The sidetrack parties are made up from Republicans who think more of self than the principles of the party that , help the Government and nation , to help itself. These facts should be considered and a tariff education commenced now for the great battle that will be on in 1908. BAD FIRE ON C. & E. Wealth of Timber,; Burned, Also Farm Houses. Friday afternoon word came to Corvallis to the effect that Mill City was burning up. As the Curtiss saw mill is located at this place, considerable anxiety, was manifested in Corvallis,;.- for it is well known here that this mill is of great importance- to the people of the entire valley. The sawing capacity of the mill is about 100,000 feet of lumber per day and its loss would seriously affect building throughout this section of the state. L,ate in the evening the report that Mill City was burning up was denied here and rumor had it that Gates was the scene of the fire. It became known in the meantime that the three o'clock train which comes from Albany and waits here until 6 o'clock in the evening had been ordered to the front directly alter three o'clock. This knowledge added to the general uneasiness. From reports received later it appears that affairs were not so bad as feared, although very serious. The Albany Herald of Saturday gives the following account of the fire; ' For the past several days fires have been burning in slashings near Mill City, and these yester day broke away and spread through the woods " near . that point, doing great damage to farming property, timber and wood piles belonging to "the rail road, and yesterday afternoon de stroyed some track and small bridges on the Corvallis & East ern railroad. One slashing; east enougn, Dig enougn ana wise enough to take care of this great nation in all its changes of law national or international, and what it has done in the past it will continue to do in the future. of Mill City has been burning for several days, and the fire escap ing from there spread to the woods along the track'of the C. & E. and vesterdav afternoon at mile post 122, this side of Gates. burned large piles of railroad wood belonging to the company. Here also several small culverts were burned and ties under the rails were destroyed, temporarily mtertering with travel. A few miles west of Mill Citv. in Linn county, another slashing, a large one, was burned, and the fire from this escaped and spread out over a considerable' territorv. burning railroad wood and large piles of ties owned bv the com- pany, doing heavy damage. 1 ne nre also destroyed several !arm houses in the hills near Mill City yesterday and the occupants lost tneir al", escaping only with their lives. The fire was not re lieved to be endangering the farm property until a nigh wind came up vesterdav afternoon, when the flames spread with alarming rapidity, and the entire neighbor hood was called out to fieht the fire. It was then that the farm houses in the woods in the track of the fire were burned. When the eeneral office of the Corvallis & Eastern railroad in this city were informed of the spread of the fire and the danger to trie company's property yes terday afternoon, just after the Corvallis train had left this city, orders were sent to Corvallis for the train, which usually remains there until six o'clock, to at once return to this city. Bridge Fore man J. H. Stevens was in the city, and he at once gathered up the bridge gangs and section crews from all. along the road, and the train running as an extra east left Albany -at 4:30 for Mill City to fight the flames, all avail able men employed by the com pany being taken along. The engine on this train is fitted with fire hose, and the run to Mill Citv was made for the DUroose of using the engine as a fire engine- Water through the hre hose ap plied to the burning ricks of railroad wood soon extinguished the flames where they threateded the road and a large amount of property was saved in this way. Mill City was not in any dan ger last evening, though the fire was less than two miles from the sawmills and lumber yards, and every precaution was taken to prevent the flames reaching the plant of - Curtiss Lumber com pany. A telephone message late last night from Mill City brought the informrtion that the fire was practically under control, and though it was still raging, it was thought that the danger from further extensive loss was practi cally over. It is stated that, as the fires in both instances came' from the burning of slashings, prosecu tions may follow for the reckless setting'of fires, - and if the parties responsible for the fires can be ascertained they will be prosecu ted to the full extent of the law. Fortunate it is for them that no human lives were sacrificed in the fires. Business on the east end of the C. & E. Railroad was temporar ily tied up last evening, the train from the front being on the other side of the fire,, and owing to the burning of some of the cattle guards and culverts" east 01 Mill City the train did not come through on time, reaching this city at one o'clock this morning. As the force of bridge carpenters is at that end of the line, temno- rary repairs were promptly made, so thatihe travel was not inter rupted for long. .
