Morris Abraham, son of Sol. Abraham,
had a narrow escape from drowning on last
Saturday. He shot a crane, which fell in
the south Utnpona rivet. Being anxieus to
recover it, he jumped into a light skiff and
followed. As he reached the head of the
rapids abovo deer creek, the skiff struck a
bunch of willows in the middle of the stream
and npset, leaving Morris astride of the wil
lows. His rescue seemed hopeless, but word
being sent to Flem Owens he took the ferry
skiff and rescued him from his perilous posi
tion, none too soon, as the day was very
blustery and the water intensely cold.
The lerp-year party given by the ladies of
Heseburg, ia the court house, Thursday
nisht, exceeded for brilliancy the expecta
tions of tha most sanguine. The large court
room was packed to its utmost capacity
The grace and ease with which the ladies
done the honors, shou!d be taken as a model
of etiquette for the sterner sex for the years
to come. The becoming dignity with which
the gentlemen received their attentions, done
credit to their modesty. The supper pre
pared at the Metropolitan hotel, was par
excellence.
Exfl A x ator v. We have received a letter
from Mr. Street Bean of Drain, taking ex
ception to a statement in our last previous
issue from our Tinpot correspondent, in ref
erence to parties going to the house oi M r.
Allen and shooting his feed-boxes to pieces
and assaulting his son. Mr. Bean says that
the parfws in question were passing across
Mr. Burn' place, adjoining Allen's, and
there were two old boxes in the field, with
marks on them, and that one of them fired
three times with a little derringer, and the
other once with a rifle. He says they had
no intention of injuring any one. After they
had got about a half mile away young Alien
turned loose on them and swore a string of
oaths that would have made Old Dan
ashamed of himself. While we are anxious
to get the county news, we do not desire to
do any one an injustice, and cannot allow the
columns of our paper to bi used for personal
abuse of any one or to ventilate neighbor
hood quarrels. If this matter was as stated
by our correspondent the court was the place
to settle the affair. If as stated by Mr,
Bean, there ia nothing in it that needs
further. expUnatioo or vindication.

The directors of the Ko.sbur school
district have given notice of the annual
meeting to be held at the school house
on Monday, March 3d, at 1 o'clock P.
m. The object of the meeting is to
elect one director and a clerk, and in
addition to levy a tax ' "sufficient to
provide seats, window shades, and such
other improvements as may be neces
sary to vender said school house tena
ble and convenient." We express the
hope that there will be no vote cast
against the tax. The condition of the
building at the present time is simply
disgraceful. There are no seats or
desks at which any scholar should be
required to sit during the ordinary
school hours, there is no well upon tho
grounds or in the immediate vicinity,
and the grounds are surrounded by a
jail-yard fence. A more forbidding
placs. for children to congregate, could
not have been invented. This staie of
affairs reminds us that the Roseburg
district has shown les3 interest in the
matter of pnblic schools than any other
in the county, or tho Stale, sq, far' as
we are informed. It is true the citi
zens voted a tax to subdivide the build
ing, to prevent its being blown down,
but aside from this every attempt to
raise a tax to keep a lirst-cla?s school
throughout the year, has been persist
ently voted down by the heaviest tax
payers, whose only interest in school
matters was to rally their retainers to
vote asrainst the tax. The school has
been kept in a boggarly way as
long as the public funds lasted, and
then the children have been turned into
the streets, wheie, it must be admitted,
they acquired their education much
more rapidly, although it is not such us
to make tnem desirable citizen?. There
is not a village in the county where
there is not more interest taken in the
subject of education than in Koseburg.
Look at Wilbur, look at Drain, where
a school has been established to which
many of the citizens of Eoaeburg send
their children to be educated. It is too
late to deny that capital brings with
it an obligation to educate the poor,
aud it has long since been proven that
it is cheaper to pay a tax for schools
than to pay for the conviction of crim
inals. We hope to see at the next
meeting a revival of interest in this
subject and that such steps be taken
that Iloseburg will bm the centre of ed"
uation as it is of political influence in
the county.
The East Portland Vindicator says:
"The woman suffragists ought. to sue-
ceed, if perseverance in trying to act
like a man, is any qualification. We
have told, once before, how a female
officer of the State suffrage association
treated the men of E tst Portland to ci
gars on the street, in jubilation over
the passage of the suffrage law in Wash
ington territory, and we can nov record
an instance of an officer and a woman
one who acted as chairman at a suf-
m . . -a a
irage meeting tins wcetc in company
with two female friends, playing a game
of billiards in a public ball in this cit
just to show "that they can do as men
do." Will the public follow in the
wake of such leaders ' Can we not
have something pure and ennobling
come out of the movement So far we
lave seen nothing to applaud that has
been done by any of them. In Wash
ington territory several women have
sat on juries and already the complaint
comes that they are not up to the re
quirements in that respect, and let sen
timent control them to such an extent
that their verdicts are at variance with
the law and the evidence. A jury
composed solely of women might do a
criminal justice, but a mixed jury, of
men and women, can never assimilate
in their ideas of the justice to be meted
out."
During the last fiscal year" the Re
publican administration expended the
enormous sum of $443,767,004. Yet
there is a surplus in the treasury of
$130,000,000. What must be thought
of a system of taxation which tolerates
such frightful expenditures and yet
leaves this enormous surplas in the
treasury It is about time the people
were thinking about these things.

Ths Liquor Traffic-,
Editou: I thank you for your
Jift
fairness in giving place in your columns
to rjiv feeble efforts last week on the
license question.- I thank ycu also for
your friendly criticism. While I ad
mire and commend your courage in
pointing out what you no doubt deem
fals0 in my argument, as viewed from
youj: standpoint, I must beg permission
to 5senL from yours. I am aware that
it iaj akin to "bearding a Hon in his
dent to criticise an editor, but 1 trust
you j will allew me to do so for the sake of
evolving the truth that lies at the lot
torn! of this question.
It is not my purpose to wage a sense
less jcrusade against the traffic, out of a
morbid and itching desire for notoriety,
but with an earnest desire that good
may result' from a calm and dispassion
ate Investigation of the subject on its
merit.
Quoting my article you say, "why
prohibit the drink-sell ar from selling by
the jrlass when the druggist can sell the
same article in less or-greater. quanti
ties,! without license!" and then an
swer,, "now this is a statement 'that
does' not exist, for when a gentleman
of (jjlendale attempted to dispose of in
toxijating liquors as a beverage, under
the cloak of a druggist, he had to pay
the penalty of a broken law." Now,
"Mr. 'Editor, that very thing I had in
view, when I penned ths article which
you jEissail. I am charitable enough to
believe you had overlooked or did not
notice tho point I made, or you would
not, with your known legal acumen,
have! thus offered such an answer. I
i
emphatically stated, "it is not the char
acter, of the article sold, nor the amount,
but the manner in which, and the pur
pose for which liquor is sold, that has
led our legislators to semi-prohibit on a
condition," etc.; plainly referring to
the fact that when liquor is sold as a
beverage, which was the pivotal point
of my argument, then its sale as ench
was prohibited by law, except upon the
conditions named. While the drug
gist sells it as a drug, for medicinal,
mechanical or chemical purposes, no
license is . required. , Your play apon
the words "saloon" and "driiarsist " I
think, upon reflection, you will perceive
willjnot apply..
Irt regard to your strictures upon my
statement that licenses are not levied
for revenue purposes, I must, with all
deference to your legal knowledge, re
iterate my statement; for not a dollar
of the licenses go into the State reve-
i
nues. I understand that the State, as
you are aware, has so far as the public
revenue is concerned, but two sources
of raising it, viz: poll tax and tax on
the dollar valuation of real and per
sonal property; and the property of the
saloons pay their assessed share, the
same! as the merchant or farmer. I
i
have! conversed with many intelligent
advocates of license, and all, so far as
j
I remember, not excepting yourself,
concede that as the traffic imposes a
burden on society it should be bur
dened with excise duties, to reimburse
the expenses it causes, and that is the
sole ground of the argument I have
ever been able to get from tho advocates
of license.
Vbu say "the State Iras the nndis
pitted right to lice use, regulate and con
trol the tiaffie, the same as all other
obnobions trades." It is an obnoxious
trade, and as such we wish the consti.
tution and laws amended eo as to control
it, because of its obnoxious charac
ter; for license does not either regulate
or control it, but, as you justly remark,
"the! habit of drinking is gradually
stealing upon the rising generation.''
This; is woefully true, Mr. Editor, and
licensj gives it authority to steal
Yon j- strictures upon the laxity of mor
als of citizens of Roseburg; drinking,
gambling and consorting with China
men courtesans and dead beats, where
children are permitted to enrer and
gaze upon these spectacles," etc., I
think are appropo and iruthful. . If we
had a constitutional prohibition- of
drinking saloons, with legal enactments
and enal ties for offering to sell as a
beverage, all these evils you speak of
woud bo very much curtailed. Theso
drinking saloons are schools of vice and
so long as they have the sanction of
law they will continue to debauch, not
onlyjthe young men, but the more ad
vanced in years; "fumbling greasy
pasteboards, loosing their manhood and
unfitting them for the duties of citizen
ship'" The press is a grand educator; it
speaks gently and constantly to the
reader, and if exercised in the light di
rection in pointing oat the evil effects
of the rum traffic, without forming ex
cuses for it, the local press would be a
powr for good. You say "it is inex
pedient to prohibit the traffic." Thank
you. lou do not say impossible.
Principles and rights have for ages been
fought by expediency -croakers. Such
pleas have ever been raised against re
f ornl. It is tho hobby of mulish con
servatism, but has in the past been
forced to yield to the force of reason
ci.d locic. c will tl k cici.ttallv.
You wiil, perj-.ap?. .13k why saloons
are licensed, if it be not fo revenue
purposes' I answer: It is done to "re
strict, regulate and control" them and
it does neither. It is a matter of
choice with the individual with a few
dollars, whether he pays the license or
foregoes the privilege to sell liquor as
a beverage. Not so any other business,
except peddlers and showmen, who py
no other tax. . The primary object is to
prohibit, its sale.as a beve.-age, wherein
consists its obnoxiousness. Other ob
noxious trades are prohibited, why not
this The sale of obscene books, the
importation of diseased animals, etc.,
are prohibiced and the law works well,
why net this .
That licenses are used in - defraying
county expenses, is admitted, but is
treated as fines, and not; levied fcr rev
enue purposes, and it is scarcely taken
into the account in fixing the per cent
um of taxes, for they cover scarcely ten
per cent, of the expense they causo.

The Morrison Tariff Bill-
The Morrison tariff bill, now before
congress, has created a great furore
among the moneyed power. The pro
tectionists, who have special interests
to foster, that they may continue to
reap a rich harvsst at the expense of
the people, are using their utmost en
deavor to defeat the bill. In order that
they may rest secure in their ill-gotten
gains and continue to collect tolhjoff of
the great mass of consumers, ai-e en
deavoring to work un a nublic senti-
- a. A
ment in opposition of. import duties.
These capitalists are now using the Re-
publican party for thi3 purpose, and
the indications are that it is the settled
purpose of that party to defeat the bill.
The bill, in addition to placing many
of tho necessaries of life on the free
list, or as nearly free as is compatible
with the purposes tf revenue, makes a
general reduction of at least twenty
per cent, on all imports and places all
on ad valorem basis, for the purposes of
revenue. Nothing can b" more eonita-
bla and just than this measure. Under
w A
the present high tariff more money is
collected than is icquired to defray the
expenses of the government. Under
the present extravagant administration
a large surplus accumulates in the
treasury vaults, which so contracts the
cm rency as to stagnate business and
oppress the people. A reduction is ab
solutely necessary and the method pro
posed by the Morrison bill is a just and
practical solution of the question.
Whilst it is not in accord with the
views of the absolute free trader, it is
opposed to the w ishes of high protec
tionists and is a measure better calcu
lated to give relief to the people and at
the same time leave the business inter
ests of the country unaffected than any
other that can be devised. It will
make a gradual reduction in the price
of clothing and the necessaries of life,
and at the same time place the currency
of the country in circulation and give
a healthier tone to the busiaess inter
ests of the country. If the tariff bill
fails to become a law, its defeat will
lay at the door of the Republican party
and the people will hold them responsi
ble for the catanity.
Beautiful Work. It would please
the eye of any one, and especially an
artist, to examine the monument pre
pared to the memory of the late Hiram
Dixon and wife. It was designed by
W. L. Record, ho represents W. II.
McCormick, of 827 Market street, Sau
Francisco, and is truly a credit to both
designer and workman. It lests upon
a base of fine granite and is of cabioet
form, of perfect proportions, the mate
rial being of the best Italian marble.
At the top are entwined sheaves of
wheat, symbolic of tho simple lives of
the dead, most beautifully executed;
immediately below, in large raised let
ters, are the expressive words: "Father,
Mother," and just below the sentiment,
"Their Example is our Inheritance. "
Altogether the design was admirably
conceived and tho work exquisitely
done. It can be seen at Benedick's
cabinet shop in this city. Take not
our word, but examine it.
A Horsa and Euggy Lost in the Umpqua.
Tuesday afternoon N, Imbler was out
driving with his fine horse and cart.' In the
evening he drove into the Umpqua river, at
the upper ford near Mr. Grisdale's place, to
water the horse and wash the mud off the
cart. The raise in the river had made a de
posit of sand or gravel, which upset the cart
and threw Mr. Imbler and the horse both
beyond their depth. James Marshal, who
was attending the feny, seeing the trouble,
ran to the rescue and by the aid of a rope
succeeded iu drawing Mr. Imbler to the
shore, but the horse and cart were both lost.
Mr. Imbler was so benumbed and chilled
that he had to be carried home and restora
tires applied. The horse was a very fine
animal and is quite a heavy loss to Mr. Im
bler.
Washington's Birthday.
Friday morning the 22d, was heralded

we obey its. precepts. The flags were flying

Uncle Alex. Brown, who has been

improving and will soon be among his
many friends.
The morals of our town are in better
condition this week than they have
been for same time. No disorderly
conduct nor arrests to report.
The political pot is beginning to sim
mer a little and already several names
have been mentioned as candidates for
various ofiices.
The business outlook in this place is
better than it has been for some time
The crop prospect was never better and
the acreage ia larger than it ever was
before. The work of improvement has
already commenced and will be pushed
forward with rapidity.
Miss Dellio Settle, daughter f Mr.
George Settle of this place, has been
seriously ill for several days, being af

and hopes of her early re

Charles Stephens, the energetic sad
dler of Drain, cave us a visit this week
Although Charles' business is well es

causes him to close his shop and ceme
forth.
The new Baptist church at this place
will be dedicated on Sunday, the 24th.
The new church is a magnificent struc

The Phundealer correspondent from
this place is over-reaching the mark
considerable when he takes the pains to
advertise a certain business house in
this place, by inserting an ad. in the
Oakland locals every week. It is well
enough to assist a business house when
they deserve help, but it should be done
in a. proper way, and such a manner of
bringing the notice of our populace to
the existence of a certain firm and a
continuance of- that procedure, should
be frowned upon by everybody.
