The absurdity -f locating the har bor of refuge so fur south ai Port Or ford where there are no storms, is srell shown by studying the war de partment weather map for the month of March of this year. By this map it is shown that eleven storms arose on the Pacific coast during the month and passed eastward!'. Of that num ber only oiic touched the const so far south as Port Orford and that one first appeared south of San Francisco. This corresponds with the experience of our pilots who have been traveling up and down the coast for the past tifteen years. Kecrro Ez.otlus. Senator Windom, who has studied the race problem more than auy other public man, in an interview with a tribune correspondent said that the negro exodus originated wholly among the negroes themselves and was not inspired or stimulated by outside influences. Jt was a touching and powerful protest against oppression and wrong, a spontaneous outburst of despair from a down-trodden people, whose condition has become intoler able. For years in some parts of the south they have been under a despot ism more relentless and cruel than was ever endured by any free people, while they were entitled to the right and privileges or American citizens they had been persecuted, flogged, murdered, driven from their homes and subjected to the most inhuman treatment. Under such circumstances it w:is not strange that they left homes which afforded them no present security or hope. Political oppres sion alone did not, perhaps accomplish this, but after they had been defraud ed of the results of their labor, deprived of the chace to earn a living, and threatened with practical slavery, the untried plains of the great west could have few terrors they would not pre fer to their condition in the cotton states. The desire as expressed in many letters to the senator from all parts of the south was to get away to some place where their lives, liberty and property will be secure and their constitutional rights respected. The feeling, though more intense in those localities where the persecutions and oppressions had been greatest, was wide-spread and was daily becoming stronger and more determined. The exodus might prove detrimental to the industrial interests of the south, but its ultimate results will be advan tageous, and it would lessen the south ern nightmare of negro rule. With a removal of this fear the color line would disappear, the negro would become an important factor in southern politics, and there would be a restor ation of peace and order. In conclu hion, the senator thought the exodus would do more towards removing sectionalism from national politics than any other means ever proposed. He regarded it as a jirovidentnl solu tion of the problem which had bafiljd the wisest of American statesmen. England's Trade With China. A special cable dispatch from Lor don states that England is be coming as anxious about the decrease of her foreign trade as she is about the depression existing in her home manufacturing industries. Indeed, the one is the result of the other, for her prosperity has been built up entirely on her trade with her colonies and with foreign countries. China, before the advent of Americans there, was one of England's best markets for her cotton and woolen soods, but now British manufacturers admit that American enterprise and opposition have almost driven them "out of that part of the world." That our mer chants and manufacturers have beaten the English in China is the result not only of a commercial morality, proved to have been so lamentably deficient among the Manchester manufacturers, but of England's politico-commercial policy, wjiich has ever been offensive iu-tbe Chinese. For the sake of making a poiot against the proposed California con-! stitution, the San Francisco Alta, in a few words, tells more truth about this country than it has published before during all its career of thirty years. It says: ''Oregon has the capacity to accommodate ten times as many in habitants as ehe receives, if thev are j only able and willing to hew a fortune out of her fertile Valleys, her inex haustible forests, her incomparable i fisheries, or her unexplored mineral .deposits. Oregon has a constitution. Her laws are equitable, stable and constant. She is not to be lmv ( beaten by the threats of an unin formed, irresponsible rabble. Califor nia's extremity appears to be Oregon's opportunity at this moment. Oregon has placed herself on record as a con servative, peace-preserving, property- protecting community; and, while we J deplore California's present loss, we rejoice that it is our nearest neigh bor's gain." The adoption of that new constitution will drive millions of money, etc., into Oregon, besides! thousands of splendid business niuii such as we need. lit. Garvey with oigbtofii men left Camp Bidwell.
