The signs are plentiful that the Chi nese government is about to end all con troversy over the migration of its laboring people to the United States. It will, be yond a doubt, supplement our refusal to let them come by forbidding their coming. The two Governments will be found to be in complete accord, and California 'will have upon her hands only the prob lem raised by the presence of those al ready here. As for that, it will logically follow that China will compel them to stay heme when they go back, so that the return certificate business will cease. Then by their voluntary deportation and mortality they will soon disappear. It is obvious to all of our thinking people that this policy ol China should be met by sternly repressing here a IT outrages upon Chinamen. They are here now, protected by international treaty, and are entitled to the protection of our laws in their persons nd property. Surely our people are wise enough to seek the greater good at the very small cost of obedience to our own laws. S. F. Alta. Some time ago Commissioner Sparks Attempted to get even with the woman of the west for his grievance against Jim Laird, and decided that when a women had taken up for herself as the head of a family a homestead on the public lands, happened to marry before the six years ran out and she had received her patent, she was a fraudulent claimant and should be fired from her farm. The State&mas said that it was not any better law than the rest of Spark's decis ions and that it would be overruled as soon as a good lawyer had a chance at it. It has taken Mr. Lamar some time to get around to it, but he has at last reversed it with the rest, and there isn't anything left of any of Sparks decisions except an ancient smell. The women who have liomesteaded in this Btate during the past live or six years, will now marry as soon as they like and send their cards np to Sparks with their compliments. We offer our sincere condolences to the ladies who want to vote next Tuesday, but who apparently can't. Doubtless they would vote with intelligence and dis crimination, and certainly there isn't an inspector of elections in this town with soul so dead that he wouldn't like to re ceive and record their votes, if he only thought the law was with them. Still, from the point of view of a woman suffrage advocate, this present, inability is a good thing. So long as women are not allowed to vote it is certain that there will be eome of them who want to vote. X. Y. Sun. Oct. 26. 'tffi will soon go to work on the holiday edition of the Statesman. Among other special features, this edition will contain a large and fine lithograph picture of Salem's new bridge, suitable to be preserved. The picture will go with the regular edi tion as a supplement. It will also con tain an annual review of matters, especial ly those of a local nature, and will be a suitable present to friends abroad. We propose to make it a credit to Salem, and good advertisement of her resources and interests. Califobxla is now afraid that the pork men of Chicago and other cities will try to make terms with France to admit the American hog into French society, on condition that we admit the wines of France duty free into our own country. "This would go hard with California wine growers. California produces much more than half of the wine of the United States 13,500,000 out 23,300,000 gallons. It is easier to buy a book of a female -book agent than to be talked to death. There is no intimation in this in regard to Salem milk venders. They never put any water in their milk. Oh, no ' But -their cows drink a great deal of water. There is a man in London who hangs out a sign, "Pump-maker to Her Majesty, the Queen." This is the first intimation we have had that the queen was in the milk business. ' Senator Sherm as expressed the true American idea in his speech at Philadel phia. He said on the immigration ques tion, that "honest laborers are welcomed here, but not contract laborers, paupers and lunatics." The president has issued his proclama motion fixing Thursday Nov. 25th, as a day of general thanksgiving. Christinas will come just one month later, on December 23th, as usual. The oleomargarine law went into effect on the first of the month, and you will now know "boll butter" when you meet it face to face. MITCHELL AD MITCHELL. The Oregonian of yesterday introduces its editorial leader with the following paragraph. "A Mitchell organ says that in the mu nicipal election at Uervais, Marion county, on Mondav, "there were two tickets Mitchell aiid anti-Mitchell," and it boasts that "the Mitchell ticket was victorious by two to one." This sort of tiling may be an excellent method of establishing harmony in the republican party of Ore gon ; but its continuing result will be as heretofore for many years a select party of Miti:hellites instead ot republicans, whom the democrats will have no trouble in beating in general elections." After the above introduction the Orego nian builds a long article on the evils of this thing of mixing Mitchellism up in republicanism, and carrying it clear down to municipal politics. There is just one circumstance in con nection with this thing that makes the article of the Oregonian amusing, and that is the fact that the Mitchell faction in the Gervais election was the McKinley Mitchell faction, and not the John H. Mitchell faction. McKinley Mitchell is a merchant of Gervais, and is a quiet, straightforward, unassuming and good looking gentleman, and be has no such record as the Oregonian frequently tells ns John II. Mitchell has. He has never written any letters to his wife's sister, for he has no wife. He takes a good deal of interest in politics, and has many politi cal enemies in the little city of Gervais, but the result of the election referred to proves also that he has more political friends. This mistaken attack of the Oregonian upon our friend McKinley is, to say the least, uncalled for and unjust, and we feel confident that that able and usually reliable paper will hasten to cor rect its mistake, and again set McKinley Mitchell right before the people. We presume that the Statesman is the "organ" referred to by our esteemed con temporary.. We will forgive the Orego nian for this slander upon our good name if it will just get McKinley once more be fore the people in his true light. He be longs to a different family of Mitchells from John H. He has borne this name all his life, and he is entitled to be pro tected in his right to it. GOVERNMENT BY THE AVERAGE CITIZEN. Gen. Hawley seems to be a little irrita ble because Mr. Matthew Arnold, in an address upon popular education in Europe, saw fit to refer in what might be construed to be an unfavorable manner to a state ment made by the former that this was a government of, on, by, and for the average citizen. Gen. Hawley's assertion was in certain ways a copy of the well known statement of Abraham Lincoln ; but none the less, it was a statement with the differ ence. The term people is a comprehen sive one, and includes the average, but the extreme of ability and the extreme of incapacity. A government of the peo ple might imply a government in which the people were so sagacious as to choose for their legislators the wisest men in their midst ; but a government of average men would seem to preclude any such Selection on the part of the people, neces sarily confining thcee chosen as legislators to the mean grade of excllence. We are disposed to believe that there is a good deal of truth in Gen. Hawley's statement, but we can hardly bring our selves to believe that this is of advantage to the country. In the earlier days of this republic, the people delighted to hon or those of their number who were most deserving of this tribute. It was not be cause they were average men that John Ojiincy Adams, Daniel Webster, Eufus Choate, and a long list of departed worth ies, whose names will readily suggest themselves to our readers, were chosen to represent the state of Massachusetts in the national councils. They were of the people, but they were certainly far above the average in ail that applies to trus statesmanship. They did not voice the average thought of the people, as a mere echo of the popular sentiment current an.ong their constituents. On the con trary, they led public thought, and, by their vigor, industry, and knowledge, im pressed their personal convictions upon all who were brought within the circum ference of their influence. Xow, the defect with not a few of our public men of the present day is that they think they must demonstrate, by word and act, that they are merely aver age citizens. They make no attempt to educate the people ; their miseion is not to instruct, but to obtain the votes of their fellow-citizens ; and following out Senator Hawley's theory of a government by the average, it is vastly easier to drift with the current of public sentiment than to attempt either to breast the current or to divert it. But it can hardly be said that this is an exalted idea of government. Certainly, if these notions of public ser vice had always prevailed in this country, we should be to-day the humble colonists of Great Britain ; for the revolution was the work of men who led public thought. If the same doctrine had controlled our actions at all times during the last half century, slavery would never have be-n abolished ; for in this, as in all other countries, every great reform that the world has ever known has been brought about by the initiation, not of the average, but of the exceptional, citizen. To-av will decide New York's city election and the state election in nearly all the state in the union. THE MORAL OF THE WAISTBAND. The policy adopted by the secretary of the treasury in the matter of reducing the surplus which is girded by the waist band, ft is stated, so meets with the ap proval of the president that the latter will immediately apply it to his own person. The problem which these two high offi cials are wrestling with, in a certain sense, is a national one, for all over the country there are individuals whom it confronts. Without entering into an in quiry as to the specific causes which led to adiposity in the two cases mentioned, for possibly they were of on Umavoida ble character, it is perfectly safe to say that in the great majority of cases it arises from an undue fondness for the pleasure of the table and an indisposi tion to take a proper amount of physical exercise. There are thousands of prosperous men in this city and many other thousands elsewhere who are permitting their pre dilection for ease and for what are called the good things of life to shorten their span of existence. As their forms ex pand under the influence of too much eating and drinking and too little exer cise they are laying the seeds of internal troubles which will make their last years miserable and carry them off before their time. This is especially the case with men who have worked hard in their earlier manhood and feel that they have earned the right to enjoy themselves. But when the Bidewalk is exchanged for the carriage and everything requiring physical energy is doue by paid servants the process of deterioration begins. The system receives a greater amount of sup plies than it can work off and gradually the clogging tells in the disarrangement of the vital functions. Physicians then commence and continue to tinker until the breaks are too serious for repairs. There is a certain healthy lengthening of the waistband as men approach mid dle age, but it is not of the overfed and enervating kind. It is not this natural growth which is to be deplored and guarded against, but the deleterious ex pansion which everybody can look around among his acquaintances and find in stances of. Do we strive to be prosper ous for this fate? The procession that is marching straight on to Bright's dis ease, diabetes and other preventable ills is ve ry large. And how few will heed the warning! CITY l'OLJTICS. There is now a disposition on the part of independent republicans to go to the primaries and convention and work with the other member of the party for the nomination of a good city ticket. This is the proper thing to do. This is what the Statesmas has advocated all along. If the machine politicians succeed in carry ing their point at the primaries and send ing men to the convention who will put up a ticket in the interest of the boodlers. or in the interests of any other class of persons, then will be the time to bolt, and there will he consistency in putting up an independent ticket in that case. Let the republican city ticket be put up early, bo that only good "and decent and competent men will be put on it, only men whose characters, records and abili ties will s'and investigation. No man who is afraid to have his record examin ed should be put on the ticket. We want honesty, competency and economy first, and then republicanism. A man who has only the latter qualification to recom end him to the suffrage of Salem's vo ters need not complain ii he does not re ceive a great deal of consideration at their hands, if he is presumputous enough to get on the ticket, for he may consider this fair warning from the people, the tax payers of the city, to stay off of it. An honest democrat is better than a dishon est republican, every time, and compe tency does not go with political faith or inclination. We hojie we may not be misunderstood. THE KKAL WAR TAXES. Commenting upon the observation that John F. Andrew, the mugwump candidate for governor of Massachusetts, is "the friend of a peace tariff," the Sun remarks : "This means, of course, that he wants the internal revenue taxes kept up on the highest war footing." Nothing of that sort. The internal rev enue taxes "on the highest war footint?" produced in one year $:i0i,000,000. Last year they yielded but f 112,000,000, almost 1 wholly from ("pints, beer and tobacco. iThe articles and occupations formerly vielded 2!';,23G,0:J7 of revenue at the maximum point of war taxation in HW. This marks a great and widespreading re duction of the internal war taxes. The tariff taxes, on the contrary, yield ed $17!,04;,Cj2 in lsoG, and (181,471 ,039 last year an actual increase of over $2,' 400,000. The number of articles on the tariff schedules has not been substantially diminished, and the average duty is but 22 percent, below the "highest war foot ing." The tariff can I reduced to a peace ha sis sufficient for revenue and still leave j the average duty higher and the amount of protection greater than were deemed necessary by the champions of our "infant industries twentv-hve years ago. 2. i World. ' J "Dead men throw no bombs," is the epitaph we respectfully submit to the i Chicago authorities. hx. THE ONLY IMNC.KR, The ghost of the French Revolution ; need have no terrors for an American citizen. There is no relevancy in the sinister suggestions ol imjorted Socialists i that such a revolution may become necessary in this country. Neither do we share in the fears of conservative citizens that there iB danger of the wild scenes of a hundred years ago being repeated here. ' Social and political conditions which ' caused the French Revolution do not j exist here, and can have no counterpart i in a government that has a hundred years of "Liberty, Equality and Projterty" back of it. That terrible outbreak was the result of long years of oppression. Property and privilege were alike mon opolized by the few. A profligate, heart less and odious aristocracy trampled upon the rights of the people. But here there is no oppression, for the people govern. The "rule's" this year may lie private citizens next year, and are the servantB, not the masters, of the people. Property and privilege are more widely diffused and equally shared than is the case anywhere else in the world. America has made Presidents of rail splitters, tailors and canal boys ; million aires of ferry-men, peddlers and day laborers, and aristocrats (bucIi as they are) of cod-fishers, traders and everybody else who chose to order a crest of his carriage painter or jeweler. Not one of the aniniatingcauses of the French Revo lution exists here. But the Anarchist turbulence in Chicago, culminating in violence and murder, indicates a source of danger in our great cities that thoughtful citizens may well consider. It is due wholly to alien influence in these cities not alien in the sense of foreign, because some of the most intense Americans in love and gratitude for our institutions, are adopted citizens ; but alien in the sense of being unassimiUtive, strange to a Republic. These elements may create a disturbance, but it would be more in the spirit of the Paris Commune merely destructive and murderous than of the French Revo lution. No such outbreak could last in any American city for more than a day or a week. If the police did not quell it instantly, as they did in Chicago, the militia which with ub is simply citizens in arms) would make short work with it, as they did in Milwaukee. But remote and transient as this danger is, that man incurs a serious responsibility who heed lessly throws the firebrand of demagogic words into this ignitable mass. Flaying with fire is reckless politics. The coun try is in no danger of a revolution, but it should be careful not to encourage ideas whose logical outcome would be sporadic attempts to inaugurate anarchy. ASOTHEB GEEAT OCEAN LIN E. A dispatch from Philadelphia to the Tacoma Ledger, dated Oct. 27th, says that the commercial papers of that city of that date gives the information that the grow'.h and imtortanee of Alaska and the oriental trade has caused negotiations which are now pending between the In ternational Navigation company, which recently purchased the celebrated Inman line of steauiehitss, and the Northern Pacific Railroad company for a line of steamships to ply between Tacoma and Sitka, and Yokohama, Japan, and ports in China. These negotiations have been quietly discussed in commercial circles for some time past, but it was not expect ed that matters would Vie consummated until the Cascade division of the North ern Facific railroad was completed. It was foreseen that the completion of the main line of the railroad to Puget Sound would bring to Tacoma direct the products of the wheat fields of eastern Oregon and Watihington and the con tiguous deposits of mineral and coal from whence the could be shipped to Asia in exchange fur tea and other oriental pro ducts. The steamers of Inman line are the City of Berlin, Chester, Richmond, Chicago and the Baltic. They are among the fastest and largest steamships in the world, and are famous for the regularity and rapidity of their passages across the Atlantic. HOl'SE WILL lit: UKMOCUATIC. A telegram from Washington says : If the republicans secure a majority in the next house of representatives it will lie as much of a surprise to the managers of the republican congressional campaign here as to their democratic opponwits. Both parties concede, however, that the democratic majority in the present con gress will be reduced. The democrats now have forty-one actual majority, and va cancies exist in two democratic districts, making forty three to be overcome. Sen ator Kenna, chairman of the democratic congressional committee, estimates a ma jority of between twenty and thirty in the next congress. Secretary Mcpherson, of the republican congressional committee, thinks the democratic majority cannot ex ceed ten or twelve. Journal clerk Smith of the house, who is an expert on the subject, thinks the democratic majority will be between seven and ten, while Gen. Clark, clerk of the house, puts it at twenty five. None of these predictions assume that the republicans will capture the house. It is getting rather cold the weather and it will be a cold day for machine pol iticians and strikers in the coming city election. The democrats have carried Texas and the Carolinas, and the Dutch are prepar ing to take Holland. i LET US REASON TOGETHER. The article signed reform in Sunday's Statesman places me in such an unfair light before the people that I hasten to correct "Reform" and givn a statement of what I said on the occasion referred to. I said that there was more lawlessness and lawbreuking in Salem than any city I ever saw of like imputation and parallel location, and not as "Reform" would have me say, tnat the citizens of Salem were the most immoral of any city in the Tin ted States. I believe the Salem citizens individually as a society and morally would compare favorably with those of any city, yet the statement I mude ut that meeting I believe to b true, and I am prepared to give the proofs. Here they are. In the laws of the city of Salem page 53, section 2, reads : "It Bhall not le lawful for any person to sell or in any wise dispose of within the limits of the city of Salem any spirituous or malt liquors to any person intoxicated, to keep open any place where spirituous or malt liquors are sold or at such place to give, sell or in wise dispose of such liquors on the first dav of the week com monly called Sunday ; provided that this section shall not le' constructed so as to prevent apothecaries from selling liquors tor medicinal purposes." Sec. 1, page 57, is to the effect that no person shall le guilty of any brawl or tumult or draw any dirke knife or deadlv weapon or resist anv peace ollieer. Sec. 2, page 58 : Must not insult any person, impede the passage of any person through the streetB, sing or repeut any lewd or olscene words or write in anv manner any obscene words in a publie place, snail not deface tree or projnirty of anv sort. Sec. 3 : Shall not discharge gun, can non or fire works, make anv bonfire without consent of the mayor. Sec. 4 ; Shall not obstruct Bidewalk by Btopping team or wagon thereon. Sec. 5, pa ire 50: Shall not obstruct Btreets or alleys with fuel, lumber or building material withou consent of marshal or mavor. Sec. 7: Shall not lead, drive animals or ride animals upon any sidewalk or politic grouuuH. Sec. 8 : Shall not put anv timber, brutm or rubbish on public erotind. Sec. 13, page 00 : Shall not lie guilty of riotous, drunken or disorderly conduct. Sue. 13: Shall not exjxwe for sale goods of any sort which shall occupy a frontage of over twelve inches from adja cent buildings on or over the sidewalk. tee. 17, pane (32 : Persons having no visible means of living, occupation or employment by which to earn a living, all healthy jierHons found begging, all personB who habitually roam about the Btreets, all idle or dissolute jhthoms who live in or alxiut tippling houses or houses of ill fume, nil persons under the age of twenty years who shall lie found walking the Btreets after ten o'clock, shall be deemed vagrant. Sec. 17, page (52 : Duty of marshal and policemen on their own knowledge, in formation or belief to arrest any person w ho is a vagrant. Sec. 19: All gaming with cards or gambling device of whatsoever kind is hereby prohibited from being set up or used in this city. Sec. 20, page (53: All persons gambling in any kind of game shall he fined not less than twenty-dive dollars nor more than one hundred. Sec. 22: Must not drive vehicle over unprotected fire hose. Sec. 2. page M : Must remove dead animals wittiin twenty-four hours. Sec. 5: Must not oiler any tainted fish, fruits or vegetables for sale. Sec.

Sec. 7: Must not have any privy vault or eessiiool that emits an offensive smell. Sec. 2, page (57: Shall not erect wooden buildings inside fire limits, except per mission is given by two-thirds vote of council. Sec. 4. Must not change or repafr wood en building without iKjrmission. Sec. 5, page 77, and sees. (5,7,8, paire "8, 79 : Sidewalk ordinance, too lengthy to quote. Last of all comes the cow ordinance, which is the only one of all contained in the book of laws enforced. The laws are treated with contempt by all and broken continually ,1 do not claim I am an exception to the rule, yet "lie form" tells us that tiiis is a law abiding city. As far as I can see we would lie just as well off if our laws were burned up and we run the citv without any law.

If vou niv dear sir, feel like going as a missionary to Chicago to preach vour reform racket on cigarette minikini' 1 will head the list with a handsome do nation to send vou off. As to the merits of Salem and Chicago on the abandoned woman ouestion, lie form probably R)ieaks from personal ob servation, hence I w ill not dispute his conclusions. I defy him or any one else to point to a single citv, creator small. east of the Rocky mountains and name a time and place where such a scene of gambling and drunkenness was ever equal ed as we had on our streets tournament day and during the lair week, or a countv or state fair where pool selling is licensed", and now, my dear "Reform," let me part with a word of advice. A man who throws anonymous mud generally has dirty hands, it would look better to sign your name to such articles. This article of "Reform'' and other are probably aimed at me because I was connected with the citizen's movement to get better officers in our city govern ment. We demand that every law on the books shall lie enforced, and if any of them are poor laws repeal them. We, the member of the Republican party who took part in that movement, did not be lieve we could accomplish this end through the party, but we have been as sured by other influential members of the party whose attachments to party are very strong and who do not wish to bolt the regular ticket except as a last resource, that if we attend the primaries and work with them and cannot get a good ticket, they will join us in the citizens' movement and that is. as 1 understand it. the nosi- ' tion of affairs at present, and let every I republican go to the primaries, and try their bent for a law and order ticket. I don t believe a saloon keeper or gambler is any better other eople and we don't want a iicitei put np in their interest. It is equally true of every other biisiiieaR The grocer, drvgoods men. blacksmith. timelier, lawyer, ana nuKer must be treated impartially and made to renjiect the luws. R. 8. Wallace. THE NEXT CONGKISSH. The New York Tribune estimates that the next senate of the United States will contain forty-two republicans and thirty four democrats, a republican gain of one ; and that the house of representatives will consist of 155 rcpublii 'uns and 170 demo crats, a republican gain of thirty. Wk must admit one good thing the in deiKindent movement has accomplished, and that is it has put the republicans on their guard, and good nominations are likely to be made by that party for city officers.
