Is Oreso on for Reputation +.

The Statesman discusses the ques-
tion in these words:
We are repeatedly asked by the
Democratic papers of Oregon whether
we still think the "vital eighth" reso>
luton meant reputation. Say they,
IF that meant reputation Oregon has
endorsed it," and hence they infer, if
the argument is good for anything, that
it is right.
Now We are 10th to admit the dis
grace and shame of our own State,
and indeed do not admit that repudia-
ton is endorsed by majority of the
legal voters of Oregon.
It will be remembered that while in
the extreme south and east of the
State, our opponents took the ground
that they meant reputation, in the re
mainder of the State they persistently
argued that they meant nothing of the
sort. Speakers used different set Of
principles in different localities, and
the papers of the party differed as wide
ly among themselves as they did from
us. On the one question of Office they
were united on ali others their argu
ments were so contradictory that We
are forced to the conclusion that the
mass of their voters did not read the
papers.
Thus we sec that while the mining
regions, temporarily occupied by class
who have no interest in common with
the permanent residents of the State
gives majority for reputation of /,
120 votes; the agricultural and pro,
ducins parts of the country, occupied
by those who feel that their country's
honor is their own, and her disgrace
their shame, give majority against re-
pndiation, of 780 votes, leaving the
State to be committed to this outrage
Gus doctrine by majority of only 34C
votes, but little over one quarter of the
vote in the mining regions.
Having faith in the integrity of the
people it is hard to be compelled to say
that our beloved State is committed tc
this scheme of iniquity; but if she i.
not, the present appearance of thing,
is, to say the least, suggestive.

The China Question.

The wisdom of majority of the
American people is almost always right,
and their councils equal to any emer-
gency. The Chinese question has been
a great stumbling block in the way of
the people on the Pacific coast. and the
whole whiae population, regardless of
party, have regarded the immigration
of Chinese to this coast with a great
deal of jealousy. We all feared that
the statesmen in the East would carry
their humanitarian schemes to such an
extent that Cinnamon would be eligi-
BILE to citizenship, and that designing
men might import Chinese here to the
injury of the nation. To ward off the
probable contingency, it was only necs
essary to educate the common people
to a personal knowledge of almon-eyed
foreigner, and the work of self protec-
ton was commenced.
Stewart, of Nevada, has introduced
a bill into the Senate to "prevent con-
tracts for service" which will at once
stop the importation Of the lower class
of Chinese. In support of this bill
Mr. Stewart said: "That in makiue
coolie labor contracts the Chinese con-
tractors took advantage of the peculiar
religious views Of the Chinese to pro-
vide for their return to their native
land, dead or alive. These contracts
were for four years and the Chinaman
dared not break the contract for fear
in case of death, his body mi ght not
be returned to his own country. The
bill would break up this coole system
by prohibiting contracts for longer
period than six months, while it also
provided for the return of the Chinese
to their own country. This would be
long enough to enable immigrants t.
pay the expenses of their passage, and
not long enough to make their impor
tation as system the means of profit
Besides the reasons givaa above fol
proving the bill will correct the evi
sought to be righted there are others
among which is opposition to the pro
posed legislation. The friends of Chi
] nese labor see that they can no Longer
make such vast sums of money out O
this second slavery. One of the mos
bitter opponents to the bill is the Chi
cago Times, a RADICAL Democratic pa
per. This opposition, or. in fact, an,
hostility to Stewards bill, proves it

Industrial Exhibition.

We have received the circulars OF
Cincinnati Industrial Exposition, un-
Ger the auspices Of the Chamber OF
Commerce, Board Of Trade, and Ohio
Mechanics Institute. The Committee
announce that an exposition of manu-
factures, products and arts will be held
in Cincinnati, commencing Wednesday,
September 2lst, 1870, and continuing
until October 18th, 1870, to which ar
tisans, manufacturers, inventors, and
those engaged in the production OF
works of art and ingenuity are invited
to contribute.
1t would be an excellent idea for
Oregonians to place on exhibition, at
this fair, samples of our agriculture
productions, such as wheat, oats, fruit
and vegetables. We all know that our
productions are superior to those of ouI
neignbors, and we should seek every
opportunity to let those neighbors know
it.
Circulars containing full and specific
information relating to the Exposition

Graut's Message.

President Grant has sent message,
on the Cuban question, to both Houses
of Congress, that seems to cause some
excitement in political circles. The
mention made Of it by the telegraph is
so brief that we are not able to judge
certainly of the objections to Mr..
Grants views of the matter, or what
particular features are Objectionable,
but knowing that the President has
heretofore been equal to the task, we
are disposed TO believe that he sees the
right way this time.
Of late it has become the custom for
persons to throng the Capitol and seek
to obtain class legislation, whether their
cause was just or not; and from what
has been given out, it y very question
able whether the Cuban insurgents
have any other organization than that
of guerrillas. If that really be the
case Grants message lis well timed
but if the contrary can be shown, the
President will, no doubt, be willing to
do what is right in the premises.
Certainly the Cubans cannot ask the
United States to recognize their inde-
pendence, when they have no govern
ment. Whenever the insurgents shall
exhibit their ability to form a govern
ment, and their willingness to obey the
laws of their own enacting, then will it
be time enough to knock for admittance
within the family of nations. The
idea that the United States Govern.
ment is to be lobbied into the support
of every rebelious scheme of discon.
tented cubjects, is too wild for serious
consideration.
1t is eminently proper for the cause
of humanity that our government
should interfere and put stop to the
atrocious manner in which the conflict
in Cuba is conducted on both sides.
If the insurgents find fault because
our government criticises their acts of
cruelty, it is only another evidence that
belligerent rights should not be accord>
ed Until we hear more of this mat
ter, we are disposed to believe that
President Grant is in the right.

merits.

We are able this week to tell our
readers that we are certainly to have a
daily mail, and that the service will
commence on the 1st of the month
The 0. and G. S. Company will carry
the mail. The route, leaving Corvallis,
passes through Buena Vista, Independ-
ence. Monmouth, Dallas, Amity, Me-
MinnvilIe, Lafayette, North Yamhill,
Forest Grove, and Hillsboro to Port
land. The company is allowed two
days in summer and three in winter to
make the route. Two horse hacks will
be run for the present from Corvallis to
McMinnville, and from the latter place
to Portland four>horse stages will be
used.
AS we have before said, the value of
this line to the country through which
it passes, will, from the first, be mark
ed. 1t Will save to the citizens OF
Polk county many dollars paid out as
travelling expenses, for which no value
is received, besides the money disburs
ed by the company will be consider
able.
Passengers for Portland will find,
not only a small saving in money, but
at least two days in time by using the
new line of travel. We hope that the
amount of travel will soon justify the
company to put on coaches throughout
the whole line, and that it will find it
profitable to make the through trip in
one day.

A QUARREL.-They have, in San
Francisco, medical college known as
the Toland Medical College. Now
these Toland fellows are a selfish set,
and think that they are the only per-
sons that should pretend to give in>
struction in the healing art. Well, the
faculty had quarrel the other day,
and four of the Professors resigned.
Now, we wouldn't have mentioned this
little unpleasantness, only those fellows
have witnessed, with marked satisfac-
ton, the obstacles thrown in the way
of the success of our Oregon schools.

Glass Citizenship.


In the House, on the goth Of May,
the consular appropriation bill was up
and an amendment proposed providing
for Minister at Rome, instead of
Consul. This was opposed by major
ity Of the members, whereupon New
York paper made the following res
mark, which is endorsed by the Mobile
Register:
sIet the Irish Catholics and German
Catholics, who have heretofore afilia>
ted with the Radical party, read the
debate in the House and ponder over
it.''
Such utterances are entirely wrong.
They have a tendency to build up
class citizenship, that is, for the we'll
being Of our Government, extremely
dangerous.
1t has been the proud boast of Amer
leans that our form of government is
the best the sun ever shone upon
This being the case, i is to the inter-
est of all mankind that it be rerpetu>
ated. This cannot be done unless we
maintain a homogeneous citizenship.
We want no jealousies to exist between
different creeds or nationaltics that
may be within our national borders.
Such things lead to civil war, as We
know by sad experience.
We invite the stranger to make the
United States his home, and we must
strive by all the means in our power to
have him forget he is anything but an
American citizen. The alien, when he
is naturalized, swears that he will no
longer bear allegiance to the govern
ment Of his native land and hence we
must not tempt him to form separate
clan and oppose his fellow citizens born
here. The safety of our government
lies in its ability to absorb the foreign
element into that originally forming
the government.
Political parties make grand mis-
take when they nominate men for Office
simply for the sake Of controlling the
vote of foreign element A German
or an Irishman, when he is naturalized,
is not a German or an Irishman any
longer, but an American, and every
thing that would lead him to suppose
he was regarded in any other light than
as an American, should be left unsaid
and undone.
We would as soon have an officer
elected who was born on European soil
as native, If his fitness entities him to
that position; but We do object to for
eigners being put up for Office merely
to catch the vote of foreign elements.
What good reason is there for call
ing upon Irish and German Catholics
to entertain feelingsJof hostility toward
their own government simply because it
refuses to send Minister to Rome
This class of persons, whose prejudices
are thus sought to be aroused, have no
legitimate interest in the welfare of It.
ally. They are not citizens of that
country.
The political history of all nations
teaches that no State has been Destroy
ed except when, by conquest or any
other means,a large foreign element has
been added. 1t should be the policy
Of the United States to invite strang-
ers to our country only SO fast as they
can become thoroughly Americanized
and imbued with love of our institu-
tions; and hence it becomes the duty
of the newspaper press to exclude all
such advice as that above qnoted.
