MAN.
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

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.

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.
