A short dissertation on "Womnn TJast week, has caused a few or our many thousand "woman" friends! to :roquest that we give our opinion of Man. We would gladly respond, but 'there are two insurmountable objec tions. First, we have not the intellect to give the rascal his deserts; and, sec ond, the columns of our paper are nei -ther long nor numerous enough to con tain the measure of his makeup. If, however, some womau who would like to express her opinion publicly on the sBubJect, will pencil her ideas, we will gladly give them space, even if we 'have to set out the advertisement of .every merchant in the town. A HEFTY ARG UMEN T. The following is clipped from the .dispatches of Tuesday, being a part of :the debate on the Wilson bill: The amendment changing the rate on sugar of milk from 20 per cent ad valorem to z cents per pound ocea- ioned considerable debate, the reput licans declarine it was a new industry inaugurated in 1800, and the proposed -.reduction would ruin it, and protesting aprafnpt bringing up our children on ; imported articles. Imagine an able-bodied man, with "intelligence enough to get forced into .congress, seriously taking such a post tion. In one breath the industry is said to be only three years old, and in the next it is pitifully pointed out that it would be an outrage on our "Infant industries" to bring up our children on imported articles. The "infant indus tries" of this kind will industriously -suck a bottle tilled with diluted sugar of milk, and never question the place ,ot Its manufacture. .Besides, as the "infant industry" of making sugar of flnllk for our genuineand only "infant" industries is only two years old, we rise to ask what "our children" were 'brought up on before some fellow de manded protection for the purpose of providing home-made pabulum for "our children," and what kind , of "spoon vittels" the congressman in .question imbibed as an "infant indus- try" that he has grown so great? When the theory of protecting the home mar met is carried to the extreme that some bass-wood ham yankee must have pro tection against foreign competition to raise the price of the food of helpless infants, it is high time to give the home market a rest. Two cents a pound, or twenty per. cent ad.yalorum .on baby food, may encourage the "in fant industry" of making ndulterated pap, but it seems to us it strikes at the root of American progress and. is de- cidedly discouraging to the poor people who are engaged in the "infunt" in dustry. An ad valorum duty on wet jiurses of foreign manufacture should ibe addad to the schedule. THE MID-WINTER FAIR. The mid-winter fair is adopting the plan, worked so successfully ty the Chicago management, of getting a great deal of advertising for nothing. The big city papers are paid, but the ear marks of the advertisement are left off, .-and then tiie country papers are asked to get in. As a matter of fact, the mid-winter fair is a small fake that will b a large fake as time passes. Its buildings are tawdry, its grounds just now being worked up into a sea of mud, and its management simply spec tacular. That there will be a good ex hibit of California products, say along in April or May, is conceded, but until then the fellow who spends his coin under the mistaken idea that be is go ing to see something, will illustrate the old proverb about a fool and his niony. Here in Oregon an attempt is being made to raise $20,000 for putting up an Oregon building and having an Oregon .exhibit. A stock company has been formed with shares valued at one dol lar eacn, and trusting vvebteet are asked to subscribe to this stock, if for no other reason, to keep the shares as 'a souvenir." In these days of finan cial depression most of us look upon the good old iron dollar as about as in teresting souvenir as we can carry around, and certainly as the most val uable one. As for us, we are not hunt ing auy mid-winter fair souvenirs, and we are not giving a hundred dollars worth of printing to California specu lators. The only thing we. have ever seen of value from any of the fairs of fered as a grand prize for newspaper work is a pass . to "Boone's Wild An imal Show," which will be on tap at the niid-winter fair; but that has not much value for us first, because we can't afford to pay railroad fare to Sau Fraucisco, and, second, because we are p democrat and can get. in the conven tions for nothing. Hood River valley isde3tined to be a vast orchard, and every treejplanted is a step towards her destiny, .Plant late and early, whenever the opportunity nffords-but plant. It takes several years to get returnsfrom fruit trees, so that every year's dulay in planting VMVi v uav fi luiyilc, GIVE HIM A CHANCE. Lionel Stagge, who was appointed bank examiner last summer, is an ex eon vict," having served a year in the penitentiary at Salem. He was sent up for uttering a forged eheck of the value of about $30. He was a stranger in Portland at the time of his offense, and on being liberated, went at once to Portland, and under the assumed name of Lionel Stagge, started a newspaper, and in the course of a year or two mar ried. He was appointed bank exam iner lust summer, and proved a valu able and efficient officer. He handled vast sums of money and brought order quickly out of confusion for a number of banks. No one suspected he had been in" the pen, but when charged with it he did not deny it. He prompt ly sent his resignation to Washington, but up to date it has not been acted upon. The case is a peculiar one, prin cipally in that it shows a young man who, having suffered the disgrace of being a convict, thoroughly and abso lutely reforms choosing good instead of evil, and having expiated his offense, honestly and earnestly trying to be a man. We can see nothing to condemn in his concealment of his situation after leaving the penitentiary, for, un less he descended to concealment, no possible avenue was open to him for reformation. He had the alternative to choose a life of crime, or, hiding himself under an assumed name, seek to begin anew. The case awakens iri every t rue breast only a feeling of sym pathy and of commendation for bis act. If it is true that there is more rejoicing over the one that was lost and is found than over the ninety-nine that went not astray, this case should prove pecu liarly gratifying. We sincerely hope that Mr. Btagge's resignation will not be accepted. ' He has been punished for his offense. Let the full measure of commendation for his subsequent career be given him. There has been considerable discus sion of the manner of dividing Hood River precinct. ,Under the Australian ballot law, whenever a precinct has more than 250 voters, the county court must divide it, and as this precinct showed 318 votes at the last election, the county court has no - discretion in the matter. It is proposed to divide the precinct north and south, dividing the town on the line of 'Third street, thence south to the north line of sec tion 36, thence west to the-west line of said section, thence soutli on section lines to Hood river, and thence up the river to Baldwin precinct. This would enable both precincts to hold their elec tions in town, and will prove the most convenient arrangement that can be made. Each precinct would have about ISO voters at the coming election, and before another two years the town will probably be incornorated, and the valley will have population enough to cause a general rearranging of precinct lines. The Hawaiian situation has now set tled down to hard pan, and the whole matter is in the hands of congress. Minister Willis made a request to the provisional government to step down, which it very promptly refused to do. Queen Lil at first, refused to consent to pardon those who deposed her, but in sisted on her divine right to behead them.1' A subsequent survey of the sit uation caused her to chanue her mind and consent to a general amnesty. She has given up all hopes of being replaced on the throne and will endeavor to col lect heavy damages from the United States for dehorning her government. If Lil.Corbett, Mitchell, Piexoto, Mello, De Gama and the Associated Press manager could be put in one small sack and dropped overboard from the Nich- theroy, a long suffering people in these United States would heave several sizable sighs of relief. Multnomah county, through its local press, vows by its tutelary divinity, the almighty dollar, that it will not pay its taxes as fixed by the state board of equalization. The local press claim that suburban property is assessed too high. This is no doubt true; but un fortunately for Multnomah's conten tion, so are "suburban" lots all over the state. The humble cottage that gives us shelter is assessed, with two lota, at $1500, and unimproved lots here at from $100 to $250. They are not as val uable as lots in Portland assessed at less 'han these amounts. We are cer tain that if Multnomah refuses to pay her taxes, the other counties of the state will do the some, and then a pretty kettle of fish would be on hand to be cooked. The Oregonian of Wednesday says: "Money is going begging in New York at 3 per cent." What we would like our big contempory to explain, is: Why "money will go begging in New York at 3 per cent" and here in Oregon it can scarcely be had at all, and when it Is found the owner exacts from 15 to 30 per cent a year. Is it owing to the tariff? Did the repeal of the Sherman bill cause it? Is it the threatened dan ger to the tariff beneficiaries of the East, that makes money cheap' and abundant in New York and scarce and dear here? What makes money go begging in New York at 3 per cent a year and the farmer of this country go bagging for money at almost that much per mouth? It is barely possible that this year will see the completion of the locks at the Cascades and the steamers that now ply the lower Columbia reaching The Dalles. It is not probable, how ever, simply because the contractors have had exceptionally bad weather and conditions for the work. The Co lumbia never reached low water maiU last year, and in the fall, when gen erally conditions for work at the locks are the best, the river marked several feet above its customary line. The winter has been open, but so wet that but little progress could be made, al though the contractors have pushed the work to the limit circumstances would admit. If not completed in '94, it is safe to say that the spring of '95 will ' see the long-drawn-out job fin ished. " , , ' Baker City is realizing that the path- way of righteousness is beset with ! thorns, and that it is deucedly hard to be strictly good. The city dads levied war on the gamblers and their lady friends, for the avowed purpose of run ning them out of the city. This they have in part accomplished, but in do ing so they have accomplished some thing else they were not counting on. La Grande became a city of refuge for expelled sinners, and the hardy miners who heretofore spent their earnings in Baker City have suddenly found that La Grande has a finer climate and is generally much more attractive than Baker City. Their money is now be ing spent in La Grande, and Baker City is wrestling with the problem of how to retain the miner and her self respect at the same time. NEWS NOTES. The Iowa legislature has elected Geer to the United States senate. The Chinese are registering, but slowly. It is thought the Chinese con sul at San Francisco will issue a proc lamation calling on them to obey the law, and that this will cause them all to get a move on. - Sibley, democrat, of Pennsylvania, has prepared a bill to pay pensions in a new issue of 2 per cent bonds. He pro poses to offer it in the house in case a bill is presented for a general issue of bonds. The bill is designed to give pensioners the benefit usually accruing from bonds and to give the government a ready means of meeting pension ob ligations. The plan is to make them of denominations of $20 to $100, and to make them a legal tender, which would allow them to circulate as money. His plan contemplates . the issue of such bonds until the amount reaches $50 oer capita for the population of the coun try. .. .... While playing on the ice on Carson river, near Empire, January 16th, three children broke through. In endeavors to rescue them three others fell in. Johany Crow, 14 years old, took five out in turn. When h3 went after the sixth he found he had disappeared un der the ice,s He immediataly plunged in, and getting hold of the child, swam forty feet under the ice to a hole caused by rapids, and landed his pre cious burden on the bank with th s as sistance of onlookers attracted by the screams of the children. The brave boy was more dead than alive when taken from the water, and was resus citated with difficulty. , A bill was introduced in the Colorado legislature, Wednesday, authorizing the governor to present a bar of bullion at the United States mint foi coinage, and appropriating money to carry the case through the courts if the govern ment refuses to coin the silver. The senate was not in session. Members who have stood out for immediate ad journment held a caucus this evening. It is understood, with one exception, they will hold together and prevent any legislation whatever. If they do so, no appropriation bill can be passed to defray the expenses of the extra ses. sion, and the members of the house will be unable to cash salary warrants. A Gentleman Who formerly resided In Connecticut, but who now resides la Honolulu, writes: "For 20 years past, my wlla. and 1 have used Ayer's Hair Vigor, and we attribute to it the dark hair which she and I now have, while hun dreds of our acquaint ances, ten or a dozen ' years younger than we, ore either gray-headed, white, or bald. When asked how our hair has retained Its color and fullness, we reply, 'By the use of Ayer's Hair Vigor nothing else."' "In 1868, my affianced was nearly bald, and the hair kept full ing out every day. I Induced hertnnsA Ayer's Hair TJcor, and very soon, it not only checked any further loss of hair, but ' produced an entirely new growth, which has remained luxuriant and glossy to this day. I can recommend this preparation to all In need ot a genuine hair-restorer. It is all that It Is claimed to be." Antonio Alarrun, Bastrop, Tex..
