Senator Tolley.

1t has been suggested that Col.
w. P. Tolley, of Lincoln, will be a
prominent aspIrant for gubernato-
rial honors in 1880. He has served
with distinction 10 both houses of
the general assembly, and possesses
ample qualifications for the position
named. Col. Tolley opposed the
30 4 compromise in his place in the
senate, but when it was submitted
to the people and the canvass
opened, believing that its accept
ance would be the best under the
circumstances, he boldly took the
stump and advocated it earnestly
and ably throughout his Senatorial
district Athens Post.
We are not advised whether Toll
ley has Topped since the 5O-4 prop
osition was showed under the repu-
diation majority whom he did all in
his power to educate up tor
down to-the reputation level, but
we expect he has, judging from his
past. He has been a loud and vo
luminous slow tax" blatherskite,

thought its success would give

The Boston Herald is inclined to

Legislature to pass a dog law. 1t
says, Georgia is inhabited by
white men, negroes and dogs
Every prosperous colored family
has one dog, the poorer families
keep two, and the impecunious ne
gro will be found to possess from
three to a dozen. This explains
why sheep farming in Georgia par
takes of the hazardous characterlst-
les of investment in mining stocks.
Recently the State Superintendent
of schools framed a bill by which
it was proposed to make the dog
population contribute tax for the
maintainance of the public schools.
Immediately howl of disapproba
tion went up which was heard
across the Alabama line. The ne
groes, although the watermelon sea

ers' chickens were at broiling size,

ALsEA INDIANS.

Ed. GAZETTE: Some time since
the citizens of Lower Alsea sent TO
agent Swan, at Siletz, a numerously
signed petition requesting him to
visit the Bay and confer with them
in regard to removing struggling In
dians to the agency. In response to
the petition, Mr.. Swan came and held
a pow-wow with his dusky wards,
but was careful TO avoid giving a
definite answer as to what he intend
ed to do in the premises. Several of
these Indians are holding valua BILE
land claims, which they are not en-
titled to, as they have not, and can
not comply with the law. II they
were removed to the agency, where
they belong, the land would be taken
by white settlers, who would assist in
building roads, establishing schools,
and otherwise contribute to the pros
perity of the country. The residents
of Alsea think that as the govern
ment has generously provided for
the keeping OF these Indians, they
should be taken to the reservation,
and we shall anxiously await agent
Swans decision. BosToN.

shops and throw out of employment
hundreds of thousands who are de-
pendent upoa their daily labor for
support, and are totally ignorant of
any other pursuit or calling, and con-
sequently unified to earn liveli-
hood inany other employment than
the one they have been trained to
from their childhood. Why is it
that if free trade is such a blessing
to country, that there is such dis
tress and beggary in the great manu-
featuring centers of England to-day ?
Long since, the English Parliament
repealed the tariff and opened her
points to the world; and she has
striven, by depressing her laboring
classes from year to year, to manu-
facture cheap enough to command
the markets of the world /; and while,
to some extent, she has succeeded in
doing this, at what painful cost and
actual ruin to the laboring classes +?
To-day the laboring classes of Eng
land are taxed to death, to support a
vast army and navy and the nobility.
While not one cent of direct tax does
American laborers pay towards the
support of the government.
To-day Americans are selling
American manufactured cutlery, cot
ten goods, wooden goods and beef in
English markets, and are fast getting
large share of the trade. Under
the tariff, which keeps out, to a large
extent, foreign imports we are pros
porous, and are developing our un-
bounded resources with a rapidity
that astonishes the world.
Abolish the tariff, and in an incred-
IDLY short time English iron would
be held for the same prices as Ameri-
can iron. Throw down your bar
riers Of protection and the importer
will at once take advantage of our
needs and put up the price of his
goods just in proportion. All that
is wanted is to get the tariff out of
the way and then add the import
duty to the price of the articles i'm
ported, in order to more quickly en-
rich the foreign manufacturer. Amer
lean sagacity and craftsmanship will
not take any steps leading to such
disastrous results to American in
dustries.

which will be found a great conven-
ience, enabling from 25 to 80 hacks
to receive or discharge passengers at
one time. In about two weeks the
building will be ready for exhibitors,
though the ceiling will not be placed
still after the fair.
But my particular object in writ
ing this communication, was to call
attention to a new feature of the
pavilion arrangements for this fair,
and the rules connected with them.
At the last (December meeting OF
the board of managers, anticipating
either the erection of new building
or the enlargement of the old one, L
was authorized to arrange class In
division U, SO that persons, by purch-
asing space, would be allowed to sell
in the pavilion such goods as are not
offered in the booths, as for instance,
optical goods, stencil plates, watches
and jewelry, patent inventions OF all
kinds, fancy goods, etc. A class has
been arranged and the rates affixed
which includes entry of goods for
premium, as in other divisions and
classes, from IS to a gold medal
also all charges for space, license, ETC.,
it being expressly understood that
preference shall be given to those
placing goods on exhibition and not
desiring to sell. No charge for space
is made except on goods entered in
particular class. Articles entered in
other divisions (stock excepted) can
be entered again in this class only, if
of or more pieces, so that the oppor-
tunities for a double premium are
increased by this arrangement, while
by it the managers hope to be able
to fill the building at the coming fair,
it being presumed that, at best, ex-
hibits would not more than double in
one year.
Nothing but inelemency of the
weather will prevent the largest and
by far the best exhibition ever held
by the society, and earnestly hope
that the citizens of Oregon and the
adjoining territories will give to the
society their hearty support and as
sistance to the end that triumphant
success may crown the efforts which
have been made.
Remember, no charge for space in
pavilion, unless articles are entered
for selling purposes.

The NEW PAvILiCN-NE FEATURE OF
THE STATE FAIR.
SALEM. Sept. 10. 1879.

SALEM, Sept. 10, 1879.
To THE EDITOR OF THE OREGoNIAN: !:
1t is probably known to nearly all
your readers that the citizens of Sa-
lem have erected new pavilion on
the grounds Of the Oregon State Ag-
ricultural Society, during the past
season. / should like to give an ex-
tended description of the building,
but want of time prevents me now.
A few words however, will give the
reader general idea of its size and
arrangement. The plan is 45Ox7O
feet. The portion erected this year
is 2oox7o, containing nearly three
times more exhibition space than the
old building. From floor to ceiling
the space is 20 feet IN the old one
IA feet. From the front entrance in
the new building to the back, there is
promenade 16 feet wide, also one
the same width from the side en-
frances. The plan of the building is
designed for three fountains. The
first one will be in the center of the
portion already built. 1t is l2 feet
in diameter, with basin 2 feet in
depth. In the center of the prom
enade, from front to back, permanent
seats, feet long, are arranged. On
each side the main aisle the floral de-
partment has been fixed, followed by
fruits on the right and left. Several
aisles, varying from 4 to 81 feet in
width. cross the building at right an
giles, SO that room will be found for
an immense concourse of people
without the annoyance common in
the old building. The windows are
l0x4 feet, those in the old pavilion
7x3. A substantial plank platform
16 feet on the sides and 20 feet in
front Of the building is completed.

FATAL FEvEE.-Despatches of the
18th inst, state that a fatal fever,
the black tongue, is now raging in
the counties of Polk, Pauldlng and
Harrison, Georgia, and within few
days over fifty men have died in an
exclusively rural population. The
victims are mostly young men. Those
attacked suffer terribly, the tongue
turning black and swelling double
size, and blood oozing from their
mouth and ears. Immediately after
death the bodies become spotted and
discolored. Of 20 cases under one
physicians treatment not one recov-
cred. The greatest alarm and dis
tress prevails and the fever is steadily
spreading.

MIR. Jessup was a temperate, indus

giving beyond his means in aid of
enterprises for the public good. One
