ROSEBURG REVIEW
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 24, 1886.
ME BUT CHRISTMAS.
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.

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

THE NATIONAL DEBT AXD STA
TION AZ. BANKS.
ET IIOS J OHS BURXETT OF CoRVALUS.
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.

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,

V hue lloseburg has never enjoyed

such has not been the case. While

SOCIETY.
Ily It. ,1. Itaietliorne, A. M., l'rafegsor of
Rhetnrle ami Eiifflish Lilrrtdnre
in the 1'uieersity of Oregon.
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?
