The question of Gov. Moody's call

the subject of several wagers. It is
a good bet that he will: it is another
good bet that he won't.
A falling yard on the Carnmonty
yesterday, created a little excitement.
As it fortunately canted over the

there was little damage.

Quite a crowd went to Smith's

three months ending Sept. 30th, 18S5

It is probable that, "Who is the
man to whom President Cleveland
administered the scathing rebuke?''
will go down in history as the unan
swered conundrum of the present ad
ministration. There has been con
siderable beating about the Bush,
but it has not yet Dawned upon the
public observation.
The writer of this is assured confi
dentially by one who has to rustle
like all get out to get enough to
gether to pay his taxes with, that the
only smart men in Oregon are the
men who dodge the payment of their
taxes; men who go in debt and stay
there. It does look sometimes as
though the prudent fellows wore pun
ished for their presumption in own
ing property. It serves them right.
They ought to bo worth $4,000 and
"owe" $6,000.

Further frauds on the part of the
land grant railroads have been un
earthed at Washington. The Atch
ison, Topeka fc Santa Fe has over
half a million acres in excess of its
grant. Tho Winona & St. Peter
shows a good second with 000,000
acres. Tho land office claims that
sufficient facts have been ascertained
to demonstrate that tho St. Paul &
Sioux City, the Winona & St. Petsr
and the St Paul, Minneapolis & Man
itoba companies have each a large
amount of lands that were not em
braced in their grants. These frauds
would have long since been exposed
but for the fact that the companies
have had sufficient influence and
power to keep the adjustment of
grants in the hands of their friends.
There are clerks now in tho depart
ment who arc responsible for many
of these irregularities. Maps have
been made showing how false lines
were run in surveying bends and
crooks of grants, whereby large
amounts of lands wcro taken.
The number of conservatives elected
at the recent French elections is 183.
It is believed second ballotiugs will
raise tho numebr of conservatives loi
210. Tho conservatives who have
made extensive gains, are monarch
ists of one faction or another. Some
of them are adherents of tho Count
of Paris; others of the Bonaparlo
family. They would like to see a
mouarchial government restored in
France. The republicans, or moder
ates, are supporters of tho present
ministry. The radicals look to M.
Clemenceau as their leader. They
are as eager as tho monarchist for tho
overthrow of the republic, but only
that they may give the government
more radical leanings. The repub
licans wish to maintain a parliament
ary form of government, but the rad
icals wish to abolish tho senate, and
substitute in place of the chambers,
as at present instituted, some body
like the old convention of 17S3. The
loss of seats by the republicans will
lead to tho reconstruction of the pres
ent ministry. It seems doubtful
whother tho ministry cau gather about
it a working majority in the new
chamber. Shrewd observers believe
that tho new chamber will bo short
lived and that no ministry cau bo
patched up that will long command

THE WYOMING HASSACRE.
Americans Had Nothing to Do With It.
Colonel F. A. Bee, resident consul
for China at San Francisco, has re
turned to that plaoe from an investi
gation of the Chinese massacre at
Bock Springs, Wyoming. In an in
terview with the Aita Colonel Beo
relates what he feund:
'Were- any of tho white men en
gaged in this butchery Americans?"
asked the reporter.
"Americans !" exclaimed Colonel
Bee, a3 if struck by a thunderbolt.
"Americans! Don't disgrace your
country by asking such a question as
that. Thank God, no! Most of them
were laborers brought from Europe
by the Union Pacific compauy to op
erate tho mines. Cornwall and
Wales furnished the major share.
Brutes who have lived underground
from boyhood were the assassins.
Low-browed, squaro-jawed, ignorant
and villainously visaged men men
whom you would fear to meet on a
crowded street even if you were
armed on both hips. Clubs and rocks
aided the murderers, for when they
found a wounded and helpless China
man, they dashed out his brains with
the clubs or crushed in his skull with
rocks. While the men were shooting
the Chinese and firing cabins, the
women were lootiug tho vacated
dwellings. There are, I should think
about four hundred white men in tho
settlement Tho women aro bold and
rude, and if a soldier strays away
from camp tho women stone him and
howl at him until ho is glad to beat
a retreat."
"To what cause do you attribute
the outbreak, colenel:
"The whole investigation simmered
down, amounts to just this: tho Chi
nese would not join a strike. These
coal mines are owned by tho Union
Pacific compauy, and coal from this
district supplies, among others the
following reads: Union Pacific, Cen
tral Pacific, Oregon Short Line, Utah
Northern, Denver and Bio Grande,
and C. B. and Q. Two years ago a
striko was inaugurated on the divis
ions west of the Missouri river, but
the Mormon and Chinese miners
would have nothing to do with the
strike. For a long time back a striko
has been brewing, and to successfully
carry it out it became necessary in
some way or other to get rid of tho
Chinese. Most of tho Mormons havo
already left Thero was no prejudice
against the Chinese because of choap
labor, for the Chineso were working
exactly on tho same terms as tho
white miners. The miners are all
paid by tin ton. Wh.'to labororp,
wages average all the way from S3 to
$S per day. Chineso average from
$3 to $3.50 per day, as do the major
ity' of whites.
"The Chineso and whiles are kept
separate in the mines. In mine num
ber six, just beforo tho outbreak, the
pit boss assigned certain rooms to
the Chiueso and others to tho whites.
A plan was concocted to draw the
Chinese into a pitched battle and
run them out of tho territory. The
day boforo the assault some white
miners went into the rooms assigned
to tho Chineso and began work, al
though they had no right there at all,
as the pit boss himself acknowledged.
They put in a shot, a blast, but did
not fire it The Chinese did not go
to work that day, but did the next
morning, and while they were at work
a gang of whito men came in and at
tacked them, knocking them down
and brutally clubbing them. Ono
Chinaman was knocked senseless and
his companions carried him out on a
hastily constructed litter. Mean
while tho whites had spread abroad a
report that the Chineso in the mine
had attacked them, and tho butchery
began."
A Strategic ltaihvay.
"Russia is building a strategic rail
way to tho Austrian frontier.'' You
kuow what a strategic railway is,
don't you? Buys its right of ways
from the farmers for an anuual pass,
then gets all the laud condemned and
takes up the passes, then gets a state
grant of two or three counties for
the directors, buys its iron on long
time, and pays for its grading with
construction bonds, then issues
equipment bonds to pay for rolling
stock, borrows all the money in the
country on the mortgages, calls in
everything outstanding and exchanges
it for a deficit, changes its namo
from tho "North & South Air-Line"
to the "East & West Short-Line," di
vides the swag among the directors,
and runs the road with the deficit
It may bo new in Russia, but it's an

'Squire Znngford is displeased with

'squire, who was postmaster at May
Bloom, was recently removed, or
rather was informed that hereafter
his public duties will be discharged
by some other citizen. Upon receiv

'squire addressed the following letter
to the president:
"I reckon you think that you've
done a mighty sharp trick, er send

uster know him when he wore nan

Ef you had spoken to him about the
matter, he would havo told you not
to progic with him. I don't kero
nothin' for the money that's in tho of

more to mo than seventy-five cents is
to you, but I don't want to bo fooled

kere for, but I do kere for the stand
in' it gives me in society. Presidents
is ungrateful. It hain't been mor'n
two weeks sense I named one of my

an' up to two weeks ago wo called

Tho Coloma which is loading with
lumber at Weidler's mill, Portland,
will soon sail for China. She will
carry 310 Chinamen to their native
land, who pay S8.&00 for tho ride
home. Au intelligent Chinese mer
chant is responsible for the statement
that there aro many more who would
buy tickets to go on tho Coloma
could they be accommodated, and
that another load will sail on tho next
ship bound for China. Iu regard to
lh3 number of Chinamen iu tho crowd
who would tako certificates to return
on in case they ever wish to come
back, tho same authority said most
of the number will get papers, but
just what proportion could not bo
estimated. Last year out of doO. J1U
took certificates to return in case
they ever wished to do so. Regard
ing the Chinese population iu Port
laud another well educated mer
chant states it is constantly
decreasing. There are lass than a
dozen Chinamen in town who have
wives there, whilo mauy have families
in China to whom thoy will in a few
years return. The idea that vast
numbers of Chinese nre flocking in
from British Columbia is asserted by
many, says tho Portland Telegram,
to bo preposterous. The fact is bus
iness in China is far better than it
was a few years ago, owing to rail
road buildiug and better crops, and
having heard that their brethern on
this side of the wnter are recoiving
poor treatment they are not at all
anxious to come here, as a rule.

When Lewis R. Redmond, the
South Carolina moonshiner, cor
nered, after for eight years eluding
the Government officials, was asked
to surrender, he exclaimed:
"Never, to men who fire at my
back!"
Beforo he was taken, fivo bullets
had gone clear through him, but
strange to relate, ho got well, in the
hands of a rude backwoods' nurse.
By the way, if Garfield had been
in the hands of a backwoods' nurse,
he might have lived. A heap of
volunteer testimony against the infal
libility of tho physicians has been
accumulating of late, and people are
encouraged to do their own doctoring
mors and more. It is cheaper and
quite as certain.

had they covered him with that dead

ing men dread this enemy more than
any mishap of their profession, and
presumably this explains why thev,
as a rule, are so partial to that cele

Redmond was right. No man
should surrender when attacked in
tho back. He should "draw," face
about and proceed to the defense,
for such attacks, so common among
all classes, will fetch a man every
time unless "covered" by that won
