Mr. Joseph Medill, editor, and
Mayor of Chicago, was asked by a
newspaper reporter if he would run
-again for the mayoralty. His honor
replied, "There isn't political, social,
or pecuniary inducements in Chicago
to hire me not if the unanimous
vote of every soul in the city were
added. I have had enough."
Everything must have its ups and
downs, its alternating sunshine and
showers, and tho sheep business is no
exception. But we -do notknow of
an industry which rests upon a more
legitimate and safe basis. To start
with, the production of wool is not
equal to the woints of the country;
.and the growth of our population is
such, that it requires each vear the
product of 4,000,000 more sheep than
it did the vear before.
Coin Dollars Four hundred thou
sand new silver trade dollars have
been delivered by the Philadelxhia
Mint. Dies for the dollar will be sent
to San Francisco and Carson Mints,
in the early part of the present week,
where plan diets are ready for coin
age. At San Francisco there will be
two hundred thousand, and at Car
son one hundred thousand dollars per
month supplied.. It is thought that
within the next six months' there
may be sucli a decline in silver
bullion as to throw some of these new
dollars into circulation in the-east.
A French organ in New York city,
speaking of the subsiitution of Mar
shal MacMahon for Thiers in the
Presidency of the French Pvepubiic
says: "Faction has made its revolu
tion against the national sentiment,
against the electoral body, against
France, against .the Republic; more
than that, against the new founded
order, against peace, "against confi
dence within and without, against
re-established prosperity, against a
triumphant credit, and against that
supreme aspiration of the country
the liberation of French territory 'by
'the bunds, the wisdom and the honor
of the Republic."
The San Diego Union expresses
the opinion that, as Gen. Crook has
"fallen in love with Arizona,", he
will, as soon as peace is established
on a firm basis, offer his resignation,
purchase a 'tract of land, become a
citizen of Arizona, and join with the
cam est and persevering people, of the
Territory' in the material develop
ment of the country. This is th'6 first
intimation we have heard thatGen.
Crook contemplated tendering a res
ignation, and we are loth to believe
that it has any foundation, peneral
Crook has chosen the ,Army fas his
home, and Ave do not believe that he
intends giving up a profession in
which he has been so eminently suc
cessful, and of such great. service to
the country. He is now the best
praised man in America, for his suc
cess over the Indians and the hollow
hearted but no less vicious scoundrels
of the miscalled Christian Indian
Ping, around both of which vile
bodies he has formed an anacgnda
that is making their infernal bones
crack. Leading men and newspapers
of every section of the country are
praising the General, and right well
has he earned said praise, as. the
heartfelt thanks of all frontier peo
ple here and elsewhere. .,
CHINESE
COST
US.
A
r
XT "i.
tf
ll (From tho San Francisco Call.)
In coming to the Call officeyester
day morning, through one of our
most populous streets jQve sawin the
T3asement of the building some fifteen
.or iwen ty- Chin esc a1rwarlroirshoes.
This led us to make an estimate sis "to
the advantage or disadvantage of
ihaving this class of population in ;
California.
Iii the first place we hare about
fifty thousand Chinese in California,
and this fifty thousand realize for
their labor at least one dollar per
head each day on an average over
and above the money expended for
such commodities as they purchase
from our people. Including manu
facturing establishments which are
Carried On bv Chinese, OUr estimate
nf rv.n ,in Ct ii
OI Olie dollar as profits, which are
taken out of the country, is rather
under than over rated. There seems
no doubt whatever that fifty thou
sand dollars per day are drawn from
this coast for Chinese labor, which
sum of money goes to China, from
whence it never returns. This would
give us a total tax, for having the
services of the Chinese, of 1,500,000
per month, or $18,000,000 per annum.
Here is a drain upon the resources of
California, Oregon and Nevada fear
ful to contemplate. This labor, to
a very great extent, is a -dead loss to
our citizens, for the Chinese do not
erect our dwellings nor leave any
permanent improvements behind.
Neither do they open farms. They
manufacture a few commodities, raise
a few vegetables, and -assist in culti
vating vineyards; but large numbers
are employed as domestic servants,
or extract gold from gulches. The
work done by tho Chinese could, to
a great extent be more advantageous
ly performed by our own people.
"We have an ample labor supply in
this State, if it were utilized; or we
could draw it from the Eastern States;
and the money earned in this' way
would be saved 'to California to start
manufacturing establishments, erect
dwellings, -stores, etc. All classes of
population except the Chinese add to
the wealth of the country, but money
earned by theChinese is carried away.
As we have stated before, this
coast is paying tribute for Chinese
labor annually to the amount of some
eighteen millions of dollars. This
money, we contend, could be saved by
employing another class of labor. If
all would make it a jxrint to employ
workmen who live amongst us are
of us and invest their means here
instead of sending it to China, the
State would soon be in a most ros
perous condition. But, on the" con
trary, should our citizens continue to
employ Chinese, and let the labor of
our own people to a very great ex
tent be lost, we shall have a depress
ed community. Instead of our streets
being occupied by a white popula
tion, with workshops and stores on
every hand, with a happy and con
tented people, we .shall have a Hong
kong in our midst, and Chinese deal
ers alone will be found upon our
principal thoroughfares. Even now
no white tenant will hire a building
on certain streets. The nuisance is
like a cancer; it becomes fastened in
a particular locality, and from thence
it spreads, until property is ruined
all around for any other purpose ex
cept the. use of Chinese. At one
time it was supposed that Chinese
labor could be utilized with advan
tage; that laborers alone which was
bad enough, would sutler; but as
soon as Chinese .workmen learn a
branch of business, from that moment
the Chinese laborer not only supplants
the white workman, but he supplants
also the white employer.
A Duluth editor publishes statistics
to prove tliat within nine years that
embryo city will need fifty elevators,
one thousand steamers and tens of
thousands of railroad cars. He sees it
all "in his mind's eye," and is so
confident all this will come to pass,
that he will sell a half interest in his
printing ofiice for a new milch cow.
A cheerful acceptance of the fact
that honest, steady, persistent, work,
year after year, some of it hard work,
some of it disagreeable, is necessary
for. the farmer, is another element
of success.

To tho Hon. Rogkk S. Gkkexe, Judge of tho

Tho Crand Jury, duly impaneled for .the
said term,, having concluded their labors, do
noy suouut tuoir reiert:
.First, Thoy havo examined all complaints
made, and all witnesses brought bofove them,
and as tho result of such examination have
found and returned one true bill on tho part of
the Territory. None on the pai t of the United
fctjtcs.
Second, "We take pleasure in testifyingto tho
general good order which prevails in tho county
Third. Wo proceeded in a body "to the oflico
Of the County Auditor, for tho purpose of ex
amining tho records of tho County, andaj the
result of such examination wo lind that the
records of tho countv are kept in a neat and
orderly macnar, so far as tho Auditor is en
abled to do so, with tho means furnished him
by tho JJoard of Commissioners; but we fool it
to be our duty to call tho attention of tho Com
missioners, through tho Court, to the fact that
tho Auditor has but one 1ook in which to re
cord Mortgages, Stock Brands, Marriage Li
censes, Bills of Sale, Inventories of Separate
property, Chattle Mortgages, Mechanics liens,
etc., all of which aro mixed up in an indis
ciiminatomannor. An appropriation of fiom
Ton to Twenty Dollars would enable tho Au
ditor to provide separate books for each of the
mattors emuneraited above. And wo think Hint.
tho credit of tho county, and tho welfare of its
present aud futuro citizens, requiro that such
an appropriation Do made.
Wo mado an" examination of tho annual as
sessment roll, and declare that in our opinion
ibascd upon uch examination), and upon our
personal knowledgo of tho value of propertj',
that tho assessment made is unfair and unequal
by which wo mean that an unfair valua
tion has been made, and tho result is that tho
burden of taxation is not ooually divided. Wo
feel that this matter is one that noed only to bo
suggested, and that the proper remedy will bo
applied. Wo aro all aliko interested in tho
county, and every man should bo required to
bear his equal and fair share of tho cost of
maintaining tho government that extends
oqiud protection to all.
U.e did not examine tho condition of tho
other county ofllcos, as no complaint was mado
and tho character of tho gentlemen holding
the oilices is such that wo "feel sure that an ex
amination would only rosult in our certifying
to what is already known, to-wit: That they
are ' good and faithful servants."
We return thanks to tho Court and its officers
for courtesies shown us, and to J. M . Flotchor,
lisqk, District Attorney, for tho assistance ho
has rendered us in tho discharge of our duties.
Wo recommond that this report bo published
in the Astoiua.v, Oregonian and Courier.for tho
information of tho people of tho countv, and
that the Clerk of tho Court furnish an attested
copy thereof to each of those papers. All of
which is respectfully submitted.
