DEMOCRATS Violate no party fealty by
voting for George Weber for Sheriff, as
there is properly no nominee for that
Office on the Democratic ticket Mr..
Varwig, German citizen of high stand
ing and fine business ability, was nomi-
tied for the place, but he was swindled
out of it and another person put upon the
ticket. The best way to veto such a
swindle is to defeat the man who gets on
tie ticket by such means.

ASSISTANCE having many of the bene-
fetal qualities of gutta-p -percha has recent
ly been receiving the attention of botan-
lists. II is called balata, and consists of a
gum or sap of milky hue, which flows
from tree very appropriately named
the bully tree. 1t so nearly resembles
gutta-percha that it is often sold for the
latter article, and indeed is said to pos
sass many advantages which bid fair to
introduce it into general use. The BULLY
tree hourishes in South America, on the
banks of the Amazon and Orinoco.

ONE advantage suggests itself in refer
cnce to transferring the Indian Bureau
to the War Department. In case the
restless redskins take a notion to walk
away from their reservation, as the Chey-
ennes have recently done, the Agent ex-
pcrienccs some difficulty and discomfort
in going along with them. If they were
under the continuous control of bat
TALON of cavalry, however, the troopers
could mount their chargers, as they are
forced to do anyhow, and continue to
keep the company of their wards.

AARON HOPPER is honest and capable,
and it would be great calamity for him
to be displaced at this time by a repre-
sentative of the ring elements that have
wrought such ruin in the affairs of the
city. The County Commissioners office
has been remarkably well managed. 1t
is an acknowledged fact that this and the
Auditors office, one in the hands of the
Democrats and the other in the hands of
the Republicans, are among the very best
managed of our county or city offices.
We are just as earnest in urging the cleo
ton of Mr.. Hopper Democrat) now as
We were of Mr.. Cappeller (Republican) a
year ago. In such contests the public
needs the services of good and capable
men, and can not afford to stop and
inquire whether theycall themselves Dem
ocrats or Republicans. The bitter fight
against Hopper is by men who condemn
his course in not aiding in the crusade
against fair pay for an honest days work.
Hopper is for doing the fair thing by
the WorkIngmen, and the worklngmen
will see that he does not suffer on this
,ccount.
GEORGE WEBER, candidate for Sheriff,
is entitled to the votes of all intelligent
workingmen who do their owr thinking
and vote in their own interest. He is an
able, efficient and industrious representa-
tive of the active business and working
elements of society, and there is every
reason that he should receive the warm
support of the people who constitute each
apart of the great industrial element of
The country. He is not profes-
sinnri politician, nor in any sense a
.lf.n.c office seeker. This is the first

saw the reptile slowly uncoil himself,

one wreath and then another of the

great serpent, brushing through the
forest grass and fowerets, stopped its

A PRETTY STORY. A Paris banker, q

giles of poverty in his young days, had an
old time piece over his bed when he
he was boy he used TO say to himself {:
"When you are rich, you will buy pic
ture clock. representing II hamlet with its
church and in the steeple clock and at
the foot of the village II railroad, with n
train in full motion, and on one side the
sea, with ships sailing by" All these
things were made to work bv machinery
in the clock which the rich banker bought.
The train whistled and ran along the line
and the ships were tossed in the sea and
the key which set them in motion was
carried in the old gentleman pocket
The clock had tho place of honor In his
drawing room, surrounded by paintings
which cost their weight in gold. and
there it remained for years. His wife and
children did not like it. They laughed at
il. They could not understand his whim.
They did not know of all the old dreams
which that picture awakened in him. His
friends laughed at him for letting it re
main in the drawing room. So no took it
into his own room. Whenever he want

the old clock, and then the steeple would

FEMALE EMIGRATION.

1t is occasionally pleasant to recall
events OF the past which, when they
transpired, excited a general interest, es-
pecially when the results can be traced
or their present Influences recognized -
To those who remember the enterprise Of
Colonel Mercer II years ago in organiz-
ing II ship load of female emigrants from
the East to Puget Sound, it will be of in
terest to learn the destiny OF the hundred
and fifty unprotected femMes who, with
5andbox in hand, sought homes and hus
bands on the Pacific Coast. The project
Of Colonel Mercer to find places for a
small portion Of the surplus females by
restoring the equilibrium Of the sexes be-.
tween the east and the west was very gen
orally discussed at the time it was start
ed. The prevailing opinion WAS unfs
vorable to the scheme. The motives of
the protector and assumed character Of
the emigrants were regarded with suspi-
cion and treated with ridicule. 1t was
thought that only the most reckless and
unprinc ipled females would voluntarily
isolate themselves from civilized sur-
roundings for the rough chances Of civil
izrd life.
From letter we have before us, dated
Portland, Oregon, March 2lst, it would
appear otherwise. The emigrants we've a
