QUITE CURIOUs.

In looking over the genealogical his
tory of the Lee family of Virginia, we
find that they descended through long
unbroken line from the " Lees of Cot
ton Hall" of England, which is now
the estate of Sir John Ashley, the re-
cent patron and hacker of the champion
American pedestrian, Weston, who has
just carried off the belt from England
and the world As the genealogical
record before us shows that the ''Cotton
Hall" estate fell into the hands of the
Ashley branch of the Lee heirs it is not
to be marvelled at that one Of that no
bic blood espoused the cause of an
American against his own countrymen
in the late great walking tournament.

~rRon NAME TO CALIFORNIA

Referring to the late Democratic
State Conventions in Maine and Cali
fornia the New York Star remarks
With respect TO national issues, the
platform adopted at Bangor anil the
platform adopted at Sacramento strike
the same key-note,a and demonstrate how
thoroughly the people are aroused to
the Importance of the struggle waged
between Congress and an arrogant Tx
ecutive during the past four months.
Such . unanimity of sentiment in two
sections so far apart and 80 diverse in
character and modes Of life, gives AS.
suranee that the Democratic party eve
rywhere is not only as a unit on funda
mental principles, but takes 10 stock
in a back-down policy. Before Con
gress again assemblies, it's most timorous
members will be fortified with whole
some disregard for partisan votes.

Hayes called this extra session, and the
Democratic majority Immediately passed
tho required appropriation bills, but
Hayes vetoed them as fast as they were
passed, thus forcing the Democratic
Congress to remain in session for the
four months complained Of by the Bee
and they would have been there yet at
a cost of $4,000 per day to the people

could have their way. Let the respon-
sibility of this session rest where it be

MeRE INDIAN TROUBLE.

A dispatch to the Oregoaiaa from
Umatilla, dated last Friday, says: cat
the head of the Wild Horse Canyon,
where the Indian trails cross the can
yon, settlers have been annoyed by In
dians laying down fences and going
through grain fields. One settler whose
name I cannot ascertain, notified the
Indians to do so no more. Yesterday
two Indians disobeyed, and when the
white man told them to get out of the
field and lay the fence up, they refused
and hot words ensued which termi-
mated in fight in which one Indian
was lshot. Citizens in the neighbor-
hood say the authorities shall not have
the white man who did the shooting, so
rumor says" This may lead to more
serious complications between the
whites and Indians.

An UNPARALLELED RECORD.

Linn county has been under Demo
cratic management for fourteen eonsec
utive years-longer than any other
county in oregOn-and during that
time there has not been a single defal
cation nor misaPpropriation of sin
gle dime. During all that time its
taxes have been the lowest and its ex-
penses the lightest, proportionately, Of
any other county in the State. With
this proud record is it any wonder that
the taxpayers of the county uniformly
trust the Democracy with the manage
ment of affairs or that Old Linn con-
tinuss to be the Banner Democratic
county of Oregon

IMPORTANT DEeIsuoss.

Judge Deadly has decided the city
ordinance of Portland which prohibits
the employment of Chinese on public
works to be unconstitutional. So that
decision permits the rat-eating, leprous,
pig-tailed heathen to compete with the
poor white laborer in spite of all our
laws to the contrary.
Also Judge Bellingcr, of the Fourth
Judicial District, has decided that sher
ifs are not entitled to mileage for con-
veying convicts to the Penitentiary,
holding that the law only allows So per

By careful perusal of the foregoing
the reader will observe the admirable
management of our county affairs. It
will be noticed that although the enor-
nous sum of sl5,ss9 IA was expended
on account of roads, bridges, lumber,
etc, and nearly 81 900 ON the Jail and
court house, and that the pauper account
was greatly in excess of any previous
year, vet there is an increased balance
left in the treasury at the end of the
year of nearly SI,000-the balance TO
the county's credit last year being
| s2,6l2 90, and this year s3,04G 80. IL
will also be observed, by reference to
the certificate of the County Clerk,
that the sun: of $4,000 appropriated
for the bridge building by the previous
administration, and 81 ,055 due the out
going Assessor, are included in the
amounts paid by the present admins
tration, which naturally made large
hole in the amount which should go
to the credit Of the present manage
ment
Our county is now permanently out
of debt. We have one of the most
substantialand commodious court houses
in the State, we have a jail which is not
only an ornament and credit to the
county but it is now regarded as entire
ly secure and safe, we have throughout
the county number Of the largest and
most costly bridges on the coast, and
roads aud highways which will compare
favorably with provincial thoroughfares
anywhere-alI of which is paid for,
our county warrants are as good as gold
notes and our county treasury is in pos
session of sufficient funds to carry on
the contingent expenses of the county
with perfect ease until the next tax
levy is collected.
This shows that our county affairs,
under Democratic rule, are shining
brighter and brighter" every year, and
that SO longas they remain under the
presentparty management, Old Linn will
rank first among counties of the
State for the honesty, efficiency and
economy other public affairs.
