After waiting for years for both political parties to take the lead la the matter, it waa the Independents of California, wbo took a decided stand in opposition to Chinese im migTHtiou.and In this they were applauded by the Independents of the entire Pacific eoaat. This expression decided the course to be punned by the two political parties, an each ia now claiming honor as ths first to otter a single word against the in . coming of the tea-drinking opium smuking, selfixh Ariatio bonis. The - party leaders of eithar patty are not honest enough to give the people credit, though ths people, through the new Constitution of California, give the politicians the He . whenever they write, "we did it." eothv parties opputwd the adoption of that oonsti - tutioo. In doing so they even hoped 'jut de : feat the snti-Chmene provision it contained, . since to defeat any part of the instrument . was to defeat ths whole. The people favor ed the constitution snd defeated both par ties as Independents. Could anything be more plain? "THE WATER QUESTION " Ws again would refer to the advantages to be derived from bringing a supply of fresh water inlo ths city for fire snd other purposes to the citizens of Itoseburg. It is true that the repetition of an old aong by a singer tires those who hear it ; but iu this matter ths same song should be sung until in self-dftfenoa against the singer, the prop erty -holders built the water woiks in order to have peace and quiotoesaon the part of the singer. The subject is one of too much im portance to pass over without full discussion; it involves th j cleanliness of the city, the oonvenienos of thn citizens, and, what is more important, the safety of the town and the protection oi its property-holders. As before stated the cost of the water works, will not be over f 1,700, to bring the water into the heart of the city, and what is this amount ia comparison to the oonse qnent decrease in insurance rates aud the risks now run by our business men t The truth is, fire started to-day in tits after noun, when the nsuul aea breeze is blowing, would destroy the towu, and nearly every house in it. Ws hsve no hooks and ladders; there is but one well in town to each dozen or half dozen houses; not fifty buckets could be had at the starting point to prevent the first fire from spreading, and the result would be an end to Roaeburg, Ths ques tion, under suoh si rcu instances is, whether it is best to expeni f 1,700 or lose more than a million. Common senna would argue, it ia better to give toward the enterprise men tioned the f 1,700 in question than to even aleep with the dread that overhangs all of without a moment's warning utter ruin. Because Roaeburg has never suffered from s oonflagration ia no argument there will not be one. Because the city trustees have pans- ed certain ordinances to prevent fire, it is not to believe theie a ill be no fire. All tit ieB have their - disastrous conflagrations. snd at no time is sny city safe; it comes sooner or later. Kemember tbe great tree of London, tht grest fires of New York, the great fires of San Francisco. " They have all occurred. , There have been as disastrous fire in proportion in as many cities and towns iu Oregon, and the important fact in this argument remains proven, that had the facilities for extinguishing suoh fire, been leas tbe destruction would have been great er. The two great fires of Portland, though insignificant with thoas of London, Ne York and San Francisco s far as the ruins ores, ted, beggared hundreds of people and caused fur s certain period general hard times. To thj people of Roaeburg a general fire in this city, comparing the difference in population and buildings, would be far more ruinous to us than were all to the great oitiea named; for here all would suffer, and there but a small portion of tbe populace here all would be blotted out, and there much was left. With the eity fires they oc curred with appliances with all modern im provements attached to prevent them from occurring. If with all that wealth can do, firs in a city dues run so far at certain times and to the length that many are ruined and all are pecuniarily affected, then what is there to be expected here where we have nothing to retard the progress of a fire and everything to lose? There need be no monopoly in this matter. With ns it is a suggestion having for its aim the protection of all. Our idea is there should be a meeting ot the citizens held, the subject be properly discussed, and the steps be taken for providing the city with an abundanoeof water for. all purposes. Can ws not hear a response from some other source. :- ;'. ; . ' , Dr. Azam has given an account of s re. markable case of double c msciousness and scission of personality at a meeting of tjie Bordeaux Society of Sciences. The patient hag been under his observation for several years. tbe seems to live two distinct lives, each separated from the other by a sh.irt stupor or sleep. W hen she awakes she has no recollection whatever of what may have taken place during her abnormal condition however prolonged the latter may be. o hen in tbe normal stato she remembers what has occurre in the normal state, and is more cheerful than at other times. Tbe case presents some perplexing problems, ss the faculty of speech Suems never to be aflVcted during either phase of the doable consciousness. : - ' Congress has adjojrned. It was a turbu lent body, and a heavy bill of expense to the country. What it accomplished may be truthfully summed up in tbe little but very expressive word nothing. The bill of ex penditures has not, however, been complet ed, or the sum total written at the bottom of the page. For months to come the mails will be burdened with tons of . printed speeches and other political campaign docu ments, in. which the people if they read what is sent them will find for what the extra session was hold for political party advantage. ... Sitting Bull has sent to the United States authorities a letter asking permission to re turn from British Columbia and protection from the United States government. Sit ting Bull's check is equal , to that of the mjthiual government mule, or of that of tile average political newspaper iorvvho abusea Independents reron made with the JPiZing them into rtSlGCwa ftOT e boldin ICTTT ijonvention implors them to rots for his candidates. The government may listen to Sitting Bull's appeal iu a manner favora ble to the wishes of that Bloody Butch, r; bnt Ind pnndents iwopoee acting mors sensibly. If the editor described has a right to abuse ludopcndents for exercising the rights vouchsafed by ths Constitution, they cer tainly will do as pleases them, and pay the loditof or any one else back in ths same coin. 3,-ha hint is plain enough, and those who fan should read it. The editor asks several of his correspond ents to overlook ths fact that their corres pondence did not appear in our last issue. The truth is. the patronage of the paper was so great during the week by those of our advertisers who wianea to nave men uui noss known to the multitude in the city on "the Fourth much original matter written by the editor was exoluded from the columns of the paper. This week we shall give ' ' those items from the excluded letters the lapse of time has not made old, and leave out those which at this writinj would be no cewa to any one.
