Time takes bis Sight on his beautiful wings, And winter -clad Nature thus cheerfully sings: "Christmas is comlof ; it soon will be here To herald the close of another old year." Christmas is when the angels all rise, In mansions of bliss beyond the blse skies, And soar while they Sing of Him who was born, In Bethlehem's manner on a cold, winfry room. Would you not like to see the display lite hosts of Elysium make on that day When cherubs and seraphim chant a sweet ssag Of Him who is Prince of the ar.gcHc throng No wonder that Nature is cheerful and gay, While she and her singers are chanting a lay, Echoed from heavenly hojts far above, Inspiring the nations of earth with pure love. - Let us rejoice and cast aside frowns, For joy and sweet smiles are worth more thtu crowns: Strive to be h;ippy and the Roseburg Review Will ever insure MERRY CHRISTMAS for yo. CHRISTMAS HAY. In nearly all civilized countries, Christmas is kept as a national holi day. An opinion is extant that if the- greatest nations of the globe see fi t to respect the event that has made the 25th. of December memorable, the smaller t'ribea and nations can do no 1 better than follow their example. The world's chronologist3 have fixed upon a day jvtst one week from this one as the time from which every other day in the year should be reckoned. That day was made important on account of the the event that made Christmas memorable. Between Cbristma3 and New Yeats thousands of vows will be made to be broken between New Years and the next Christmas. But while thtse may be broken, millions will be kept: and the good deeds emanating ft oui well-formed resolutions will be to the world more than beautiful pres ents dangling from festoons, bowors and Christmas trees. St. Nicholas is said to have supplied, three, destitute maidens, says Young, with marriage portions by secretly leaving money at their windows, and as the day occurred just before Christmas, he thus was made the purveyor of the gifts of the season to all the children in Flanders and Holland who put out their shoe or stocking in the confidence that Santa Clans will put in a prize for cood conduct before iuornlng. Another legend described tho saint as havioin brought three murdered children to life again; and this rendered him the patron of boys, especially school-boys. No wonder that children are glad when Christmas comes. We say children; for wc are all children in this respect. Y hue we love to see others receive presents, we like to receive them our selves; but while these gifts on this day are tokens of esteem and kindness they should be but the symbols of the love and respect beaming in the smiles and outcroranjj from the words and deeds of that love that should exist between all coed people and their neighbors, and their neighbors' chil dren. JLtfVDY O VJt O O TESXM EXT. bVHos. L. F. Lass. If it is true that the greatest study of mankind is man it is also true that the greatest study for man is how to govern himself. Political science and line spun theories of government are good enough in their way; Utopia and New Antlantis are very charming dreams foi- the diciples of Moore and Bacon but m this Republic where all power emanate from the people the lessons of government should b8 a practical every day study. It is a matter that directly concerns them and they should consider the subject an one of important business. Our plan of government is simple in form so simple that a child should compre hend it. "All powers not delegated to the United States by the constitu tion nor prohibited by it to the states are reserved to the states respect! vdy or to the people," and "the enumera tion in the constitution of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." These are constitutional rights and are referred to now only to remind our readers of the vast pawcrs that rest absolutely undisturbed and unimpaired with the paople and to im press the importance of wisdom and prudence in exercising them. In view of the simplicity and liberality of our polity it sscm3 stiange that we should be environed by dangers peculiar to monarchies and despotisms. The form ation of secret labor leagues, the ap parent antagonism between labor and capital, the presence in our midst of communistic and socialistic organiza tions bodd no good for the future. That these do exist is plainly the fault of the paople. It is their fault that corporations have been fostered; have grown rich and are domineering; it is their fault that too much of our public domain has beon given away without consideration. In short, it is their fault that we have wasted our patri mony and that the winter of our discon tent has come without provision tor a cheating warmth and that there is a gloomy outlook. There is no use de nying it; there has not been a time, hour or moment that the people cotUd not have ordered a halt. They have nobody but themselves to blame that they may have selected demagogues and scoundrels to be their agents. They did it all in calm, cool blood and in con science and law are bound to ratify their deing3. No vested right so long as the principal looked on and tacitly acquiesced can be disturbed. The faith of every honorable man is pledged to protect those rights. In all its hid eous deformity stands the work of the past. Wo cannot disturb it but we can and must manage the present and con trol the future. The people can de mand that hereafter no large landed estates shall be created, nor an acre given away except for homes tj citizens under existing laws. It has been a common boast that the increase of oar population has been marvelous. The fourth of July orator that makes that boast is a fool and just fitted forgnshing occasions. The father that boasts of the birth to him of a child when the restot his children ave starving is a brute or has not sense enough to comprehend , what constitutes murder, mucn less nis responsibilities tu 80ciety. Wc have also boasted that this is thet'.' c.C.Hogie, land of the free and the home of the brave and the refuge of tho down-trodden of all creation and with equal truth we could have shouted, the penal colony of every oration on earth. Of this latter olass we have had doses in the llocking valley, a tPittsburgh and nioie recently in the fiendish plots of the anarchists of Chicago and indeed, at all times, in every and all public outrages occuringin the United States within the last twenty years and these were only homeopathic doses at that. There is much twaddle about this refuge of ours for all liberty loving creatures sent among us to teach ex otic notions of liberty Right here the people have a remedy. Let them demand that onr laws of "naturalization be amended, that no person convicted of a felony in his former home shall ever become a citizen here. We dis franchise our convicts and thev are neither better nor worse than those of any other country. Welcome no ser vile race to our shores but invite Cau casians to become citizens unon nre cisely the sane terms we extend to our own sons, a pupilage ot twenty one years, and under no circumstances let any person vote who has not rcthe the constitution of the United Stanor and of the state wherein he cast Hi ballot. Patriotism is not frothy ad spasmodic when fortified by intetes geuce. No good man would want to become a citizen who thinks more of bis native than of his adonted eonnf-.rv. The Englishman that toasts the health of the Queen with more pride than he does the constitution of the United States should remain a subject Tho Frenchman who delights in sino-Ino- about his La Belle France would flour ish ji'st as well in Paris shouting Vive Le Kepublique or Commune as the fancy might strike him and the Ger man who bellows cut "Wacht on the Rhine, my faderland " had better be in his fadeiland. Citizenship is not compulsory nor its acceptance to be deemed an act of con lescension, but an American citizen to be a true one should be so from tho sole of his feet to tho crown of his baad f .vm the surface to the core. As for the negro among us, his citizenship was inherited as the wages of the sin of slavery; he knows no other home and should be fairly and honestly protected in all his lights. As for the Chinese we have no use for them at all and upon this matter the people should demand direct . and nrnmnt legislation. They are here now un der law and only by and under law should we seek to get rid of them. The importance of our trade and com rcercewith China cannot be disre garded. Oar treaties with that nation should be reciprocal and held inviola ble. We should ask no more than we are willing to concede. We should allow a certain number of accredited commercial agents from China, not to exceed ten thousand, to trade with ns upon condition that a like number of American citizens should be permitted to do business in China, and if a soli tary 'unaccredited Chinamen should be found here ho should be sent back or bring just as most convenient with tho understanding that similar treatment should bo meted out in China to the extra unaccredited , American that might venture there. But let it be un derstood that the competition of Chi nese labor with that of our own people must cease, now and forever. The people are officially informed that there is a vast sum of money locked up in the treasury of the United States in excess of all wants and inaplicable to the payment of our national debt. It bears no interest or profit to the peo ple, .hither the iniquitous system that gathers this surplus should at once be abolished or the doors of the vaults turned outward. By proper means this money should be kept in circulation. Coast defences should be constructed; a navy should be buflt and rivers and harbors should be im proved, and whatever, if any, remain, should be distributed among the states; there to bo used not to relieve the tax payer from the usual and proper bur then of direct local taxation, but to make good highways and broaden the avenues of commerce. We repeat the lessons of government should become an everyday practical study for the people. By discouraging improvident immigration, by elevating the status of cit'zenship by punishing rioting, by crushing out the spirit of anarchy, communism and socialism with its rank ungodliness, by removing compe tition to white labor, by stopping the hoarding of money and finally by rely ing for our glory upon a natural and healthy development of our country and population we will soon find that the reapers are not more numerous than the harvest is abundant and that there is honest work and honest pay for honest labor. With such leg islation we can gather around the hearthstone on Holy Christmas Eve feeling that Santa Clans will come with blessings to crown the old and with joys for those upon whom soon will rest the responsibility of picscrv ing the American Kepublic Summary of the Census Boll for Douglas County for the Year 1886- Legal voters 2090 4431 3622 2397 12,540 509021 109443 1170S 4199 90 1 1 899 582S1 371726 285447 6110S 27790 16840 73o 1 21 264 31270 3S8S9 I8I3S7 7710 14046247 Males Vndcr ten Females untler ten Males and females not enumerated Total population SiOCK AM WOOL,.

The surplus resolution passed by the feat congress, requiring the secre tary of the treasury to apply all surplus money in the treasury to the payment of the public debt, shows the feeling of the people upon that subject, and in dicates their desire that the debt shall be extinguished as speedily as possible, and yet there is no doubt but that there are, and have been for years rrroa f infnrocfa of wirlr Irt nvftuonf payment of the national debt, and to permanently fasten upon ns the odious British funding system. A scheme which reverses our traditional policy of a debt paving nation and prostrates the people at the feet of the monied power of the country. Nothing but the independence and vigilance of an untrammelcd and out-spoken press, sounding the kev-note of alarm, will prevent the successful carrying out of this scheme of the niomrd classes led by the national banks of tho country, by which the labor ami producing in terests would be pawned t ) the money kings with no hope of redemption. We have already paid since the close of the war two thousand two hundred millions of dollars as interest money, and while there has been a gradual reduction of the principal of the public debt, there L la yet remaining unpaid of the nrin- cipal, over a thousand imlhoiH of dol lars. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jacksbn, the bright est stars in our galaxy of president, urged the prompt and speedy payment of the public debt and especially warned the country against imitating the fund ing systems 01 Europe, it is now twenty-one years since the war closed and more than half of the principal of cue pnoiic acuc nns ocen paved, to. nrntlini uritli tlin 1 1,. .. ... .... C c terest before mentioned, and with th immense revenues of the. government drawn from the people throush the tariff, internal revenue and other forms of taxation we could pay every dollar of the national debt before the close of the present century, but it is beyond our reach. ly a canning piece of leg lsiation known as "An act 10 author ize the refunding of the national debt," approved duly 14, 1870. The secre tary of the treasury was authorized to sell a thousand million of dollars worth of bonds that could not bo paid unti the next century. Jn whoso interest was such a law passed ? Certainly not or the poople, as it required a contin uai puviuent 01 interest. JNo it was pas3ed in tho interest of the money lenders ana tac national baaks. In his speech of the 20th of October last, at Pittsburg, Mr. Blaine informs us that there is but a little more th two hundred million of the public debt Mat can be paid withm this century ana tnat the remaining portion, 0011 stituting nearly one-half of the original amount of the principal of tho debt. must go over to the next century. On account of this condition of the public aeot he says: "1 venture the assertion that there has not been since tho na tional election in 1860, a financial crisis so urgent and so pressing as the one which will ba upon the American peo piewitnm the next two years. At the close of the war the bulk the debt was in what was known five-twenty bonds, payable at any time alter years in any, kind of lawful money of the United States. A course of legislation was soon afterwards adopted as I have shown which resulted by a funding system in changing it into a coin debt, and greatly extending the time in which it could bo p;rld. This scheme was opposed by Thaddcus Stevens and some other able men, who were friends of the people; but the powerful corporations of the country prevailed. The leading causes of the desire to perpetuate the national debt are, first. It offers to the possessors of loanable capital the opportunity to in yest their money in perfectly safe se curities at fair interest which are ex empt from ail taxos, national, state, county, school or municipal. Second. Another equally as active and more un scrupulous cause, is the founding of a banking system on the public debt, which affords to wealthy corporations a means whereby they can realize al most a hundred fold return for their investments. These are the active agencies that are at work and have been for years, to fabten upon the people the curse of a national debt. Wealthy men here in Oregon take advantage of this condition of affairs. and through tho instrumentality of the national bunks, defraud the state, county, school and municipalities out of their taxes and then escape th pay ment of their just proportion of taxos. It is done in this way: "A has, say a hundred thousand dollars in good promissory notes; he takes them to a bank just before the assessor coine3 around and deposits, and has assigned to him that amount of govemmant bonds; when tho assessor comes his means are in non taxable bonds. Probably the next day he takes up his collaterals, reassigns the bonds and the job is complete." In what other way can we a&ount for the fact that numbers of wealthy men in this state, who pay taxes on from ten to fifteen thousandjdollars, are just as well known to be worth from one hundred thous and to five hundred thousand dollars as any other fact that has not been proved in court. For this reason alone the people are vitally interested in the speedy payment of these non-taxable bonds. It must be manifest to every one that tho national banks are greatly inter ested in perjwtuating forever the na tional debt, for they live on it; in it they have their being. When the debt is paid "their occupation is gone;" they die. The national Bank act was passed in 1864 and under its provisions nearly three thousand banks have come into existence. They have the authority to issue and control one-third of the cir culating medium of the country; and must of course exert an immense in fluence over the business interests and lesislation of the nation. As an evi dence of their power, in 1877 when an effort was made in congress to reduce the interest on a certain class of bonds and an act passd for that purpose, the president vetoed the bill, and gave as a reason that a portion of the 4 J per cent, bonds that would be taken up under the act was in possession of the national banks and no exception had lecn made in the Act in their favor. What a humiliating spectacle to ! see the head of a great nation domin-j ted and controlled by these banks (creatures of congress, pets of the gov ernment), and forced to veto an act passed to relieve an overburdened peo plo from a small portion of interest money Oh, that the spirit of Andrew Jackson coul.l have then bocn iuvoked in the White House to put to shame such truckling to bank influences. History repeats itself, and the ques tion of 'bank and anti-bank is to be ought over again; not exactly in the same form as in 1832, but in substance the 6ame. In other words it is a con flict between the monied corporations and tho people. No good reason has ever been given, nor can any be, why congress should not furnish to the peo ple the three hundred million of dol lars cf the circulating medium 01 the countiy directly in legal tender notes, instead of doing it indirectly through the national banks. The constitutional authority of -congress to piovidc a enr- rencv for the whole country is now firmly established. In Veazis bank vs. Imthio & Wall 533-548 Chief Justice Chaso, in de livering the opinion of the court, said "It cannot be doubted that under the constitution the power to provide a circulation of coin is given to congress And it is settle! by the" uniform prac tice of the co'vernment and by repeated decisions that congress may constftu- tior.allv authorize the emission of bills of credit" Congress has undertaken to supply a national currency consisting of com, treasury notes (greenbacks), and bills of national barks in about equal pro portions. Let tho natiunnl banks bo abolished by the payment of the inter est bearing bonds, upon which tht'V are based. They havo too much power over tho people and the government ever business ond politics and too much disposed to exercise that power to the prejudice of the freedom and equality which should prrvml 111 a re public, to ba allowed to exist in our countiy. Let their circulation bo sup plied by greenbacks. If it be said this is a debt, I answer it lcars no interest and is the people's money direct from tho fountain head, with no intertening power that misrnt at any t:me by with drawing their circulation, in vol to the whole country in utter and complete bankruptcy and ruin, and become standing menace to tho government it self. In the case of Sullivan vs. Green- man, decided March 3, 1884, tjic sit pren.e court of the United States held that congress has the constitutmna power fio make the treasury notes of the United fetates a legal tender m the payment of private debts, in time o peace as well as in time of war. Thus sweeping away the last legal objection to greenbacks It does not require a prophet, nor tho son of a prophet to see that a finan cial struggle is coming on that wil shake this country from its center to its circumference, not entirely cn ac count of the immense accumulation of money in the U. S. treasury. The nonpayment of the public debt, and the reducing of the revenue of the government, as predicted by Mr. Blaine. Already the national banks are demanding additional legislation 11 their favor. They are refusing to sur render under tho call of the secretary of tho treasury, the bonds deiosited by them in the U, S. treasury to sustain their circulation and evidently intend to prevent the payment of the public debt, ami fasten themselves upon the people 101 ever. "Ill fwstlic land, to hastenm? illsa prey. Where wealth accumulates and men decay; Trinces ami lords may flourish or may fiwiu, A breath can make them a a breath has made. P.Mta bold peasantry, their co".intry's pride, When oneo destroyed can never, be supplied. " HETETj Xl'T C1IEWISU. Iiij .Innt s Jirown, M. !., J,L !.. I'i-o ft ssnr in the Medical Coltryr, Vnrtlanil, Oregon. In ninny persons there is an intense niorbi craving tor vegetable narcotics which science has failed ti explain. To such persons the chewing of these substances seems as natural and as pleasant as the chewing of the cud to the ruminant . And there is a facination in the habit very difficult to understand a facination so strong that few have moral courage enough to resist it. Kareiy indeed docs the inveterate chwcr discontinue the habit and of those who have tried to do so, only a few have succeeded. The chewer of tobacco would rather sacrifice half of his meal than the quid which invariably follows il. Itut the craving for tobacco, though strong, is Ies3 ur gent and less irresistable than the craving for the betel nut. When the habit of betel niit chewing has become fixed il seems utterly im possible to abandon it. The victim wears out his teeth, his gums, his digestion, and then dies hungering tor another chew. The betel nut is the great narcotic of India and the habit of chewing it "has extended from the islands of the Indian archipelagp, where it is chiefly found, to the continent of Asia; its use is now universal from the Red sea to Japan." The nut grows on a species of palm known as the w cntecltu. It is about the size of a cherry, slightly pear-shaped very nard, ot a bnnht yellow color and en closed in a husk similar to that of the cocoa- nut. It is called by the natives penaug . The palm on which it grows is a graceful tree, about thirty feet in height and eight inches in diameter; and at the age of six years U begins to bear. It thrives well in most parts of tropical India, the Indian archipelago, and the rnuippine lsianas. in java ana Sumatra there are large plantations of it to meet the demand for home consumption and for export 10 uisiam isianus ana provinces; tne greater part of Sumatra's export going to China. The betel nut, as prepared for chewing, does not consist 01 tne areca nut alone, but of a small piece of "chunam" (quicklime made from shells) to give it a flavor and correct the bitterness of the covering in which they are enclosed. These two (the slice of areca nut and the piece of chunam arc wrapped in a leaf of the betel pepper (piper bctle) which is an evergreen creeping or climbing plant like the ivy, having a leaf somewhat resembling the citron. If the chewer is a man of delicate taste and can afford the expense, he will add a little toljacco with a view of augmenting his pleasure to the highest degree. A quid thus prepared consists, then, ol four ingredients viz., a betel leaf, apiece of penaug, a bit of lime, and a scrap of tobacco, and is supposed to leave nothing to le desired. In the Philippine island, buyo, as the betel roll is called is offered to every one who enters house precisely as a pinch o( snuff or a cigar is offered in western countries. Every one who can afford it takes a fresh buyo every hour. Under the U9e of the betel nut the lips, gums, tongue and teeth are stained a brick red; and in time the teeth become perfectly black and often crumble to a level with the gums, more over the skin becomes dry, and the flow of saliva is increased. But as an offset to these disadvantages, it sweetens the breath, and cleanses and cools the mouth. "The juice is usually but not always, swab loweci. un tnose wno are accustomed to its use it exerts a weak, but continuous and sus tained exhilarating influence. Only tobacco, among tne narcotics in common use, is con sumed in larger quantities than lhelctel nut, in India indeed wnere on an average, ' not more than sixpence a head is annually paid for clothing, indulgence in betel forms the econd great necessity of common life, ROSEBURG.

There is one class of society with one object in lile the accumulation of wealth. The memtars of this class bend all their energies towards the accomplishment of their object: anil, unfortunately, they bend the energies of other people. 1 heir eagerness to make money prompts them to sei.e upon every opportunity within reach. Their ideal of life is wealth. It is noticed by them that men of money exercise power, men of money enjoy luxuries; but, most important of all, men of money make money. They want riches; not so much for the honor that money may purchase, but riches for the sake of riches. Every boy's object in life is, to get rich. Every girl hopes to marry wealth. High social position may be desired; but it is looked uxmas giving certain additional facilities of adding to one's worldly possessions. The goal of tliis class u made of gold. The race is exciting. Thou sands of people witness the contest. Thou sands of people enter the course to be jostled, knocked down, and run over. The modern crown is made of gold; the crown of the an c;ent victor was made of laurel. Another class of m ;ple seek knowledge. Their prime object is, to le.irn something to learn tacts. They do not believe in training discipline. iney-gain Knowledge, iney want more knowledge. They cultivate the intellect in part. The feelings and the will do not need any cultivation. In fact, they do not recog nize any feelings. One must learn Arithmetic in order to count, to calculate. He must learn to read, in order to ke ; other people from cheating him. lie must learn to write in or der to sign his name, The ultimate object of this class is identical with that of the first class material. Nothing hichcr than sense-ob jeets ever rise above their horizon. This one sided development of the human mind this cultivation of the intellect to the exclusion of the other facilities, tends to make monsters human bsinsrs without a proper sense of duty. The men, thus partially educated, go out intc the world, hold high p sitions of trust, know nothing of duty to their fellowmen, and make mistakes. They take money lclonging to other people. There may be a "moral vacan cy, there is a moral vacancy. There is a Uvacum into which not even God has entered. 1 ney do not recognize a Creator. I hey are self-made men. - All persons do not distinguish between li cense and liberty they do not know the differ ence . Whatever chance may happen to throw in their way is for them. They do not ask themselves whether a certain action is right until after the performance of the action. If they are caught, then the action was wrong was a crime- if they are not caught, then it. was right. Is is not possible that a partial remedy lor this paitial education, this "moral vacan cy, "might he found in a knowledge of the prin ciples of duty? Should not Moral Science lie more generally taught? -HYMENEAL.
