. extetr. which admits of that conservatism
of i pinion that judges carefully and dlsa
ijfptlasws always in favor of theiiut : In
- t'l's connection it might not be amies to
suggest to our Jacksonville contemporary
to read more of what be proposes to teach,
and remember that some of tbe ex'ltorsof
the In ependent papers were recogni2ed as
Democrats before h gave np the use of a

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.

each separated from the other by a sh.irt

what has occurre in the normal

' 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

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
