J. D. Garfield has opened his new hardware establishment for business. It Is on Front street, In the building formerly occupied by Koss & Tlmmtrman'a market. All of the partitions of the lower floor of the building have been removed, which makes a long, Urge and light storeroom that Garfield has well filled with a largo and well-selected stock of goods In his line.

Ia It art aot piles. asav4ea naa a f"b"W Tlit Coot Iky News says A. Nasburg Is cklmcd to ba worth )6ooo, yet hn only pays facet on ftftoo. Jit to what Nasburg roar be averts, we do aot know; aallhar does the editor of tha News; for Nasburg hat wtist enough to ikata such iafoftsMttaa to Miassif. Aa to the as- aerlUm that ba 'pays taxat on only $9800, we know this to ba only another attempt at misrep resentation oa the part of tha News to Injure .Nasburg. I (a pays taaet on I9800 In this coun ity, Now, how much does' he pay In Douglas .eattaty and on hit Interests (a vessels registered .at Saa Francisco? What amount of taxes does ;SlUa pay la Mrft r any Wher county of the nesa Do Net Trade and Scratch, j It Isa fact that tha republicans have bad a majority In Coot county tloeo Us formation, Blneo 18M the majority nt no election' (in been less tlmn about roo, and It has been ascertained by actual IhtesilgAllon that thera are at least 100 mora repuuncaws in me roumy man democrats; jet lh demowiU Intta on maty anil most 00 i&fcajsfjBeaf tha mhMfiMat officers; and uiai, iuu, wnrn iticto win no juiiiicniion on ine part of rcpufcNcan voters for rejecting men of Integrity and ability on their own ticket to vote for men on tha democratic ticket who had no claims to republican support because they were mora worthy. When wo reflect upon the fact Itiat the most Incompetent, lasy and dishonest officers that this county has supported have been those elected on the democratic ticket over the best and most publlc-splrltcd men In thecounly on the republican ticket, It Is evident that the republican voters In their respective precincts should Investigate the cause. In most precincts It is brought abct.t by trading; that Is, n demo crat will trade a man on his ticket with as many republicans ns he enn find to tmde with him, and the result shows that while only nbout one In ten of the democratic tickets are scratched, almost half tha republican tickets nnf scratched, On the republican tickets, It Is generally tha case that, from three to five names are scratched; whereas the democrat who scratches twu names Is looked upou, as a liberal-minded and Inde pemtVat ireWofjlds party, ij'tho democrats had the majority In the county that the republi cans have they would not le found trading at ntl; they would elect every man on their ticket. The republicans have nothing to gain and every thing to lose by trading. If they want to elect their ticket, all they have lo do Is to votelt: and the parly has no right to put up any man to be traaea oil, anu nner Having tiorn given a pMCc on the ticket every man Is cntitlcu to the parly vote. Falte Reports, A report has gained currency on the Coqullle river that there Is a concerted movemcnt.011 tho bay to elect both of the county commissioners from this place. To the best of our knowledge' and le!irf the rumor has no foundation In fact and originated from tlto Idle .vaporlngs of It. II. Roia at Coqullle City at tho time tho republican convention met there and made its nominations, he suggesting tha opinion that such would be the case without tho slightest reason for so doing, '1 his false report is calculated to work an injury lo . A. Anderson on the river, and for this caKn wa contradict lL Vulse and scandalous stories calcilatcd to in jure W, K. Simpson, the republican candidate for sherbT, have also been freely circulated on the Coqullle. A sufficient denial of these will be the statement that Simpson Is now and has been for more than a year in the employ of 11 a Dean A Co. If half the stories told lo defeat him were true, Dob wouldn't be there. With nil due respect for Aiken, the democratic nominee, It can be truthfully said that ho Is In no particu lar Simpson's superior for the office for which they are aspirants. The sensible course for re publicans to pursue Is for thciti to vote their ticket straight, rrgrfhlloss of rumors, for the ticket Is a good one and It Is entitled to their undivided support. Another Assertion tint cannot be backed up by the facts, and that Is' being circulated by the Opposition In regard to Andrew Nasburg, It that he has nlways been opposed to public improve ments here. This Is utterly false, Nasburg, more than any oilier nun, was Instrumental in getting the first survey of the Coos bay bar. It was through the efforts of Nasburg and G. Win gate that the survey was brought about, and the espense of telegrams, etc, was paid by them. They afterwards called a public meeting, which compiled tlte statistics that were sent to Wash ington and which perhaps did more tlmn any thing else towards securing appropriations for this place and the Coqulllet Nasburg lias al ways shown himself to be (n favor of Improve ments of all kinds, and the cry tliat tie works against the interests of the country, the improve ment of our bars and the building of A railroad to the valley is idle vaporing. As usual, the democrats, by trading, conniv ing and conjuring In every conceivable manner, are endeavoring to elevate some of their men to some of tha most Importmt of fices to be filled at this election, Fred Schettcr, lor county treasurer, Is one of the men that the democrats liavo singled out for defeat, and every republican should make it his duty to see that the effort proves futile, for Schettcr has made a good and faithful officer, and It would bo very unwise for the republicans to permit the finances of the county to be taken from hit hands, to bo placed In tha possession of an untried democrat. It Is not every man who can resist the temptation to Improperly use the people's money when he has the opportunity; therefore when the people have a county treasurer ttutt they kr;ow they can trust, they lad better keep him. About 30 members of lUker post, No. 0, G. A. K., and a Urge number of citizens partici pated In the memoruj services at the Academy building Ust Sunday aftcrnooon. The sermon by Key, A. R.

Getty, tha personation of Mollter Goose by Miss Agnes Lockharl, and the repdering of "Curfew shall not ring to-night," by Miss Belle Granger, were among the leading features. The whole affair wat a success, and Marshfield would give a good house to the troupe if they should consent to visit us.

To the Editor of the Coast Mail ; For fran you may think I have forgotten ) 011, I will now try and again write a few lines for the old MAIL, which comes to hand every week and Is carefully perused by the undersigned. 1 have now been In sunny Kansas for neatly eight months, and like It belter all the time. I think this is the best place fern poor man that I have ever seen. Il s n pmlrie country, but the Cre ator lias kindly planted stene in places, so that tho settlers have buildcd mostly with stone, which structures withstand the winds and torna does nbout as well ns anything would. I do not know why it is, but we have almost every da what you coasters would call a good sailing breeze. Il Is very healthy in this locality, where cyclones, nre uuknown. Kudently the winds have n great influence in preserving the health. This Is a lively country, llxreTs a house on almost every quarter section of land. 1 can count 50 houses from where we hc between Wilsoo nnd Ellsworth 9 miles from the former and 10 miles from the latter pUce. After remaining here one winter, I have In vested In a farm, which is an unmJstaUblo evi dence that I am pleased with the country. I have too acres of as lino Und as there is here. I bought it settlor's claim for $1600 nnd laid my homestead application upon it. 4lhcre is on the land a good house, barn nnd well; a good wire fence around It; an unfailing creek running through it, and 50 acres In grain. But such op portunities to purchase are rare, though there are people here who want to sell out, just as thera am everywhere. A person with t htle money can do well with It here. Small grain Is a sure crop here nnd It now looks well. Harvesting will begin next month. Old settlers say tho prospect wns never better than now for a big crop. They head tho grain here. 1 here Is more Ubor-saslnir machinery In use here tlian In any place lit which 1 have ever uveu. There nre three liardwaro stores In Kilswonh. and I beard the owner of one say thnt he had soiu 00,000 worm 01 naruwaro ust )car 1 tumsosa the others did at well. 1 see by the Herald thnt they are having lively timet at Ccxpdlla City- I am gUd of it, Go for them "J.

To the editor of the New Northwest: 1 1 is now very near the time when the proposed amend ment to our constitution to remove the legal ol stactc that now nrrvents woman from exercising the right of the ballot n right tliat belones to woman as mucli as it does to man win te adopted or rejected. All tliat can be done in this brief period is to present the question in ill non-partisan light and strip it of prejudice as far as possible. 'Ilic frieads of this question should work to this end. It stands upon its merits, and when once properly understood, its force cannot be successfully resisted. It is not the crafty creature of a partisan platform, nor the sole measure of any one of the lendmg political par lies. The right of suffrage for woman is recog nized by both republicans and democrats, and in adiocating it they are not known as members ol either political party. But they sustain the measure because -t commends itself lo every citizen as one that is just nnd of right belongs to woman. Miss Wiltard is credited with saving that there shoutd be no sex in politics. This h true. I rccognlrc in this effort to place the bal lot in the hand of woman the result of a higher civilization. The world is moving on, nnd the more faiilhr our people become with the prin ciples of government and duties of citizens, thr rights due to woman as a co-worker in all mat ters involving Interests nnd responsibilities in our political economy will not only be recog nized, but will ticcomc a valuable factor In our mutual obligations as citizens. This is one ol those sleepless questions that will never die. It is vital to our prosperity as a people, and though the day of Its great achievement may possibly b; a little way off, it wilt be so but for a short time. Very respectfully, S. F. C'lIADVVICK.
