The Workingmen's Protective
Union appears to be properly organ
lied and working honestly and with
good effect. Too many organiza--
tions are sprung up on the eve OF
elections under the title of "Work-
ingmen's Party" Peoples Party" !"
etc., for the sole purpose of selling
out, to the profit of their leaders.
A city eotemporary. however, pub
fishes this in regard to this Club,
which is sufficient to prove its good
intentions: This organization has no
connection with the Athenians or
other so-called Workingmen's Clubs,
and is not political club. It makes
no ticket and endorses none. Its
object is to procure employment for
its members or other laboring men
who are out Of work. It's motto is,
"The Chinese Must Co." while the
Union, as society, ignores politics,
it is safe to say that SO far as its
members are concerned, the candi-
date for public position of honor
and profit who employs Chinese
help will have to look to his pig
tailed heather for votes to secure
his election. .-Sunday Welcome.
TALKING AT LONG RANGE.-Mr. F.
H. Lamb, division superintendent
of the W. U. Telegraph Co., has
made telephone connection between
Roseburg and this city, and tests
made last evening were sufficient to
convince the most skeptical of the
practicability of talking at long
range. Conversation WAS carried on
by parties in the office here with
Mr.. Hamilton in the Roseburg office
in quite an Ineligible manner,
though, it being Mr.. Hamilton's
first attempt to use the Instrument,
distinct. Single words could be
heard and understood very readily,
but in long sentences the words be
came somewhat mixed, and though
! the sounds could be heard the SEN
tences failed sometimes to be under
stood. The distance by wire is 20S
miles and the parties talked in an
ordinary tone of voice. The instru-
ment used is that of the American
Telephone Co.. for which Mr.. Lamb
is the agent. .-OregORian.
4 MISTAKE REcTIFIED.- 1T will be
reeollected that Mr.. Wolf Shaffer.
of Steilacoom, some months since
was arrested and held to bail in
Portland, on the charge of having
received and appropriated to his
own use a sack of money from the
clerk of the st. Charles Hotel. de-
livered to him in mistake for one he
had deposited containing much
smaller amount; the larger one be-
longing to Prof. Jesse Sheppard.
the musician. Sheppard's sack has
been found in the hands of man in
Yamhill county. who had received
it from the same hotel in mistake for
one he had deposited containing
similar amount of money, and being
intoxicated at the time had not dis
covered the mistake. Mr.. Shaffer
undoubtedly received the right sack
and has been fully exonerated. The
proof is clear that Sheppard made
oath that he had lost $500 more than
there was in his sack. He has left
the State but his lawyers are trying
to compromise the matter.
ARRANGED FOR AJUNCTIoN.-Hon.
J. P. Judson. President of the
Olympia & Tenino Railroad, had a
meeting with Col. Black, Supt. N.
P. r. R., at which the arrangement
for the o. & T. road entering Teni-
no was agreed upon. Work upon
the new road is progressing rapidly
and satisfactorily, and the company
expect to be running regular trains
by the middle of July. The iron
for the road and one locomotive will
arrive upon one of the steamships in
about ten days. There is talk Of
extending the road at once to the
head of navigation on the Chehalis
river, as the farmers have made the
magnificent offer to the company of
the right of way and the grading of
the road, leaving only the track lay
ing to be done by the company
Tacoma Herald.

LANDs.-Mr. Edward Young, chief
of the bureau of statistics, has made
a comparison of the trade between
the United States and the Hawaiian
