AN EXAMPLE.

The Bee hereby informs the Enter
prise that it knows all about the EN-.
ployment of Chinese labor in our
factories, and that pernicious and
deplorable as is this fact it is yet bet
ter than to import entirely our wool
en- goods from foreign looms. The
establishment of the Oregon City
Wooden Mills would have been i'm
possible without protective tariff, and
while the managers of the same have
employed, and still employ Chinese
labor to some extent, they have yet
opened up an avenue of industry to
many white laborers that has proved
a great blessing. Not only men, but
women, boys and girls for years have
found remunerative employment in
these mills; in some cases the family
purse being replenished by IS and So
daily, and the funds expended in
feeding, clothing and educating the
younger children and rendering home
comfortable. This, protection has
done, and not indirectly, for labor by
making the establishment of this in
dustry possible. The establishment
and successful operation OF these
mills is but one sample of thousands
of the enterprises rendered possible
by northumberland Bee.

EaDs, IsTHMus TRANSIT.

Captain Edes' scheme of carrying
steamers across the isthmus of Dari.
en- on baggage cars meets with sharp
criticism and ridicuIe wherever it is
examined. Says the New York
Times
His plan really looks feasible in
many respects, but he forgets that
the reputation Of the men who han.
die baggage on American railways is
such that no ship-owner will consent
to trust his vessel in their hands.
We know what would happen to a
a British steamer that might incau-
tiously be sent over Mr.. Eads' rail.
way. The expressmen, after check
ing the steamer, would drag her over
the platform, damaging her against
every available object, and would f.
nally throw her into the baggage car,
where they would crush her deck in
by piling heavy tea ships upon her.
Onarrival at Panama. the unfortunate
British steamer wo1 pitched out
on the platform, M bsr % unhappy uss
captain would find her with a dozen
holes stove in her hull, and with
masts and funnel completely carried
away. Of course, if be had put a
nice leather strap around her to keep
her together, it would have disappear
ed during the journey.

RAILROADS IN IOWA.

The Cedar Rapids Republican, Of
recent date, has the following relative
to railroads in that State:
Those who take any note of cur
rent events, as reported in the news.
papers of Iowa, cannot fail to see the
wonderful impetus that has been Civ
en- of late to railroad building and ex-
tension in our State. The new lines,
branches and extensions, that have
been projected and partly completed
this year in Iowa will aggregate
about FIVE hundred miles. There are
now but four or five counties in the
State that are not touched or crossed
by a railroad. Within few years,
at the present rate of progress, our
glorious commonwealth will be cov-
cred by net work of roads, that
will throb and pulsate like the veins
and arteries of healthy body. What
has given this impetus to railroad en-
terprise !? Evidently the revival of
trade and general prosperity has had
very much to do with the renewal Of
activity in this direction. But, in
our opinion, the repeal of the tariff
law, and the manifestation of more
liberal public policy towards railroads
generally, has contributed very large
ly to this gratifying result.

CALIFORNIA ELEcTloK.

Amid the political chaos and con
fusion of our sister State, the Repub-
lican party has done nobly, and we
are almost tempted to elevate oui
game rooster" over the result. But
we forbear for the present. Next
June, Oregon will likewise redeem
herself from misrule and political
debauchery, which has well nigh
bankrupted the State, and heaped
nearly a million dollars of debt upon
the taxpayers of the State.
It was a similar state of affairs in
California that aroused the people to
action, brought them to their senses,
and caused them to throw off the
CALLING shackles of Democratic trea
cherry. See dispatches.
1t is the same oppressive and over.
reaching spirit of so-called Democ
racy, throughout the Union, that is
causing the people in other States to
declare against it. The ground
swells from Maine proclaim the same
result, and the fate of that once no.
BILE and honored, but now rotten and
corrupt, party is already written

WHITE AFRICANS.

Major Pinto, the Portuguese ex.
plorer, who has just crossed Africa.
from Benguella southwestward to
Natal, describes a race of white men
found by him near the headquarters
of the Zanibezi. He says:
81 one day noticed that one of the
carriers was white man. He be.
longed to a race entirely unknown up
to the present day. A great white
people exist in South Africa. Their
name is Cassequer; they are whittier
than the Caucasians, and IN place of
hair have their heads covered with
small tufts of very short wool. Their
cheek bones are prominent, their eyes
like those of a Chinese. The men are
extremely robust. When they dis
charge an arrow at an elephant the
shaft is completely buried in the ami
mails body. They live on roots and
the chase, and 1t is only when these
supplies fail them that they hold any
relations with the neighboring race,
the Ambuelas, from whom they OBJ
tain food in exchange for ivory. The
Cassequeres are an entirely nomadic
race, and never sleep two nights IN
the same encampment. They are the
only people in Africa that do not cook
their food in pots. They wander
about, in groups of from four to six
families, over all the territory lying
between the Cuchi and the Cubango.
It would seem that from crossing
of the Gassequeres with the negroes of
other races sprang those mulattoes of
of the south, whom the English call
Bushmen. The latter are, however,
better off than the Cassequeres, and
use pots in cooking their food, while
their dispositions are good, though
butte opposed to civilization.

NEW SCHOOL BOOK ORDER.

Upon the opening of our public
schoolsthe exchange of books seemed
to threaten a general muddle, all over
the State. State TIE requirement of an
order from the teacher, in each indi-
vidual case of exchange, working a
great inconvenience and hardship,
and many districts, under this ar
rangement, were destined to be
cheated out of all benefits from re-
duction in prices, in exchange. The
greatest confusion was iminent.
Upon this matter being properly
represented to Messrs. Cunningham,
Curtiss & Welch, of San Francisco,
agents of the publishers Of the Inde
pendent series, they Immediately
eountermanded that portion of their
previous order requiring teachers
order forexchange, and on last Wedn-
esday Messrs. Allen & Woodward,
land we presume all other agents in
this State) received orders to make
exchange of books without requiring
teachers orders, and also to sell
books at Introductory rates.
All districts can now obtain an
exchange of books, without being
required to open school Immediately.
This is an important movement, and
will be hailed with delight by all per-
sons interested ia our school book
question. The gentleman who came
in with box of books, from a neigh
boring district, without teachers Or
ders, and who failed to get an ex.
change can now bring his old books
and get new ones at exchange rates,
without the formality of teachers
orders. This is move in the right
direction.

TUG ASHORE.

ED. GAZETTE: The tug Katie
Cook, 80 tons burden, Henry III.
Fields, master, in crossing Alsea bar,
struck, disarranging herrudder, which,
coming in contact with the propeller,
broke off two fiukes of the same,
rendering the vessel unmanageable.
In this condition, she went on the
south sand spits. BY letter from the
Captain, three days after the disaster,
l am informed the chances of getting
her off with but tritiing injury, are
good. The Captain was unacquaint-
ed with she place in fact, but little
was known of the Alsea until Mr..
Habersham's survey was made. There
is no doubt but that the Cook was
out of the channel, which, at the day
and hour she crossed must have had
at least eighteen feet of water on the
bar, and the Captain, undoubtedly,
took what he considered to be the
best route and the best water. The
vessel is uninsured, and quite new.
Suspicious people will please make a
note of these two facts; it may save
the odium of "jobbery,' SO often and
so foolishly connected with disasters
of this character. In a word, from
what I can gather, no one is to blame.
A want of chart, or sailing directions,
left the Captain only the exercise of
judgment, and this he used, fully un-
derstanding the interests involved.
Nor is it against the Alsea bar, as a
port. The channel should be buoyed.
and beacons established. When this
is done, all danger is obyiated. The
Cook is owned by Capt. L. Parker of
Astoria, and others.
The Alex. Duncan Is due here to-
day, and she is anxiously looked for.
Mr.. Habersham expects to proceed
to Umpqua by her, the accident at
Afsea detaing him and party at this
place nearly week. RIALTo.

THE WEsTsIDE RAILROAD.

We are not SO egotistical as to
think the suggestions in last weeks
GAZETTE prompted the action of the
City Council, last Monday evening !;
but if the weH-timed suggestions of
Hon. F. A. Chenoweth, or any re-
marks that we may have made, con-
tributed in this direction, we are
highly gratifed, as we consider this
the first decisive step taken toward
the pnoper solution of the unfortu-
nate railroad muddle in Corvallis,
and which has been agitating our
citizens for several weeks.
The Common Council, on last Mon
day evening, took the Westside rail
road matter under advisemeEt, and !,
after due consideration, appointed a
committee of three, consisting of
Hon. Judge Burnett, E. B. McElroy
and E. Woodward, property holders
and prominent citizens, to correspond
with Mr.. Koehler relative to the
selection of route for his railroad
through, and depot grounds in, the
city of Corvallis, and also to invite
him, at his earliest convenience, to
meet the Council, in order that some
terms may be agreed upon, mutually
satisfactory to the railroad manage
ment and the citizens eff Corvallis.
AS previously remarked, we think
this is the most important step taken
in this matter, and one that should
have been taken long ago. Better
late, than never. The public meet
ings held were we'll enough, as far as
they went, but were of no binding
force, and not satisfactory to either
party, as no definite plans could he
reached by these means. The City
Council is the only competent body
to act in behalf of the city in the
premises and make binding contract
with the railroad company.
We have no doubt that the whole
matter will soon be amicably settled,
and Corvallis will, ere long, enjoy
the benefits of two railroad depots
within her corporate limits. God
speed the day.

NO UNCERTAIN SOUND.

The New York Republican Con-
vention, which placed in nomination
A. B. Cornell, of New York City,
for Governor, promulgates through
its platform the principles of the
Republican party with all the fervor
of former years. The following sec
tions, fourth and fifth, of this plat
form are samples of the decided and
uncompromising tone of the whole:
The Republican party neither JUS
titles or tolerates military interference
with elections. 1t seeks only to pro-
tect the ballot box from the interfer-
ence of force and fraud. 1t repels
the false charges and denounces the
false pretenses of conspirators who,
while protesting free elections every
where, sustain mob law in the South !;
while inveighing against troops at
the polls to protect citizens, refuse to
prohibit armed clubs from surround
ing the ballot box to intilnidate them,
and while affecting that the soldiers
bayonet will overawe free elections,
remain silent while the assassin's bul,
let seals the fate of the public inde-
pendent politician.
We call upon the people to remem.
ber that the Democratic party forced
an extra session of Congress without
warrant or excuse; that it prosecuted
its partisan. purposes by revolutionary
methods; that it has persistently OBJ
structed resumption and constantly
presses disturbing measures; that it
re-opens sectional questions closed
by national triumph and threatens
to repeal war legislation; that its
southern element answers conciliaton
only with violence; that its hope OF
success rests alone on a solid South.
ard that its triumph would make the
solid South the ruling force Of the
nation. We recognize that the great
body of people who defended the
Union, of whatever party name, are
equally patriotic ana equally inter.
ested in good government, and we
earnestly invoke them in resisting the
dangerous designs of a party organ
ization under sway of those who
were lately in rebellion, and seek to
regain in the halls of legislation what
they lost on the field of battle.
