CO l lltr gstUj Mtoviau. SI XIJAY.... AST01UA, OREGON: NOVEMBER 22. 1SS3 Tiirc X ir Xrf Incest expresses fears that the Republican party is (tying, and appears to worry about it. Its fears are groundless. Ntcai. Dow says the rumsellers are running the state of Maine. Tf this is true, one may be par doned lor asking what the pro hibitionists, headed by Xeal Dow himself have been doing in Maine for the past thirty years. The annexation fever is raging in the northern tier of Mexican states. It is not the policy of the Puked States to give encourage ment to any proposition looking to impairment of the territorial in tegrity of our sister republic. Tn is Corning, Iowa, Gazi Itf says an insurance man was called out in the counhy to adjust a loss on a horse on which his company had :i tornado insurance. The farmer. :ul the horse died of colic, and that if tornado insurance did not cover all losses by wind he did not want airy more insurance. Tm: habit of giving children a whole annle or a larsrc niece of bread at one time is deprecated by a recent writer. A better plan, lit contends, is to give them small siices and thus discourage gorging and leach them the vir tue of moderation. This is pro babh where the president got his notion of distributing the patron age to I )cmoeratic office seekers. It is untenable to claim for the Indians any sort of control over the disposal of lands they have sold and ceded to the United Stateswhen the government un questionably can bT law transfer the title of their patented lands from the tribe to individuals in severalty, or ordain that all or any portion of the same shall be sold to the highest biddr-r for their com limn benefit. the building extravagantly it is true, but it was spent, and that no man can rightfully repudiate those bonds. Mr. Leiuenwober is a public spirited man with a splen did reputation. Let him not sully it by continuance in error. A naval officer remarks upon filibustering expeditions to Cuba, that these things never happen in the summer, when the North At lantic squadron cannot get down there to stop them. When the squadron is to start on a cruise from the north, he says some of the interested parties down there subscribe two or three hundred dollars and hire some ragged fel lows to drill after dark. Then word goes abroad that a formida ble expedition is fitting out for Cuba. Away goes the squadron, and before it gets back the mer chants at Key West will have re ceived $100,000 of money spent by the officers for stores, etc. Thfc is all there is in it. "Winnipeg special dispatches from Battleford, concerning the Northwestern Indians, are of an alarming nature. Tt is asserted that southern and northern tribes are on the point of forming an al liance to sweep the whole country, from the far north to the boundary line, massacreing the inhabitants and destroying their homes. This means much more than the late rebellion, and it will be impossible for the government to compare it to a simple riot. From informa tion obtained from runners who have been among the various tribes, and from observation of others, it is predicted that trouble may come at any moment. The government was warned very much in the same manner of the Saskatchewan troubles, but neglected to take precautionary measures until it was too late. LIVE STOCK AT AUCTION Milch Cows. Heifers.
