The LabOrer.

So YOU see that in the great cities OF
the great world there is an average Of
about one man in ten obeying that great
primal command, that by the sweat Of
YOUR brow you shall eat your bread. But
how this one man has to work! Stan! by
and see him in the dirt and muck, o. as
him passing YEARLY on the pavement.
He is ia rags. He is filth. His face is
dirty. His hands are dirty. His heart
must be hard. His face is haggard and
brutal. He does not lift his eyes. He
works doggedly on. This man has not
had enough to eat. That little tin bucket
held his dinner. His dinner, mark you,
nv Lord Mayor, ladies and gentlemen,
who would be miserable at missing a
hot plate of soup, hot fish. hot meat,
warm delicacies and wine at your din
ners! And yet you have not one of you
done a stroke of real work in all your
worthless lives.
This aborer, look ct him again! He is
q brute. You have made him brute.
You keep him brute. His children will
be brutes. Sometimes he lifts his eyes
70 the sun. May be he has been think
ing. But he shakes his shaggy head, and
his eyes droop, and he clutches again the
nick handle. There is no escape, and he
knows it. The master is noting him.
The police are eyeing him. You are all
watching him. He must keep at it, ten,
twelve, fourteen hours every day. You
have tied him up, chained him, bound
him tighter than ever slave was bound
in savage Rome. Yes, right here, in the
heart of your great Christian city.
One would think this strong man
would climb out of the pit he has dug in
the street to fix the gas or water pipe or
pavement, and run, and run, and run,
for liberty, for life. But where would he
run to? Right into prison. And SO he
holds on to his pick, He will climb out
YEARLY when the sun goes down,
take up his dirty coat in his
dirty hands, and drag himself
doggedly home. Home! He will kick
his wife for the wrong that you have
done him-you. whom he cannot reach.
Then he will get drunk as he gets older
and weaker and pains creep into his
marrow, for he must have something to
keep up his strength. Then he will kick
MIS- WIG hBhlH. anu Whhb WOhuOi' LIZ
is desperate, reckless. He must strike
something, what matters it whom or
what? He will kill her finally, for this
wrong that you have done him. Then
you will arrest him for murder. You
will put him in prison, and for the first
time in his life give him enough to eat.
Then you will try him for murder. Then
Won will dress him I'D, for the first time
in his life, and hang him. And what
cares he? You have only taken him out
of that grave in the street, and put him
into another.
But suppose some one man out OF the
eight id1ers had gone down into tho pit
with that poor laborer, and done half
his work? Suppose that three of them
had gotten into the pit, and left the poor
man but one-quarter to do? He would
have been man. He would have lived
man and died christian gentleman. -

1 sFrom these premises, which are
sound in our opinion, 1t is logical
conclusion that the Southern Democ-
racy do not desire any restriction
npou the importation of the importa-
tion of Chinese labor, but rather de
sire it, and will never consent to any
change in the existing treaty, putting
restrictions upon it. Southern states.
men have always been the enemies
of the free laboring men of the
United States. They have lost none
of this contempt for free labor on
account OF the abolition of slavery.
They hold precisely the same views
to-day as they did in 1859, when
they unanimously applauded Senator
Hammond Of South Carolina, for
scornfully nick naming Northern me-
chanics the "mnd sills of society"
They control the Senate and they
will control Hancock if elected. They
will not allow him to approve any
alteration in the treaty with China
that will in any way restrict Ccoly
immigration. If he should they
would refuse confirmation. He sees
the situation and conforms himself to
it in anticipation of the event.
These are the reasons why Genera
Hancock, in his letter of acceptance
lodged the Chinese question.

FISH WAYS.

Mr.. EDrToR:-Following the sug
gestions offered by your paper and
others in relation to the necessity OF
fish ladder or way at Oregon City.
It might be well enough to state that
in an early day, say 1865, '66 and
81, Yaquina Bay was during the
salmon run literally alive with sal
mon, but since the building of dam
near the head of tide water, and one
that makes it impossible for the sal
mon to pass on up the river and Its
manv tributaries, the salmon run has
almost ceased. Where we used to see
hundred fish leaping ont OF the
water. you would look some time to
see dozen, SO rapid and noticeable
has been the decrease. There is no
question, and all works on the habits
of the salmon corroberates the evi-
dence, any obstruction that prevents
the salmon from reaching Its breeding
ground (fresh water streams) will
result in a gradual decrease, and
finally put an end to salmon fishing.
In addition to the fish way at
Oregon City which will enlarge the
area for breeding purposes, as well as
furnish fish for consumption, there
should be law compelling all per
sons building dams on salmon streams
to prepare fish ladder. Unless thin
is done it will only be question o.
time when every stream or river or
the coast will be closed against the
salmon. Let us gain little wisdom
from tho writers on this importan,
subject, and while the State is young
foster and protect the fisheries of oul
State. RIALTO.

Mr.. EDITOR: Business called me
lately to this place, and during my
brief stay, only few hours, had
the pleasure of noticing the improve
ments and crops. The new boarding
school building is nearly completed !;
it is a well built and substantial af-
fair. Nearly all the painting and
catpentering has been done by Indian
apprentices, under the supervision of
Messrs. Peterson and Shogrin, and
the work shows well, and leaves no
room to doubt an Indians ability to
do, if given favorable opportunity.
The building will be finished soon,
and school opened under the manage
ment of an experienced teacher, Mrs.
Taft, of New York. The garden or
field connected with the school,
where the young men are to be
taught the science of agriculture,
presents fine appearance. 1t is
clean. well kept, and everything looks
thrifty. the lot and building are
surrounded by good plank fence
with shade trees neatly arranged.
The store building is used for store
and Office below, and granary over
head Ia place quite essential on a res-
ervation) to keep the seeds for the
ensuing year. The store is model
of convenience, and the stock consists
of goods the quality of which marks
a decided change in the old fashioned
annuity article. | remember seeing
27OO yards of calico purchased in
New York, with just single eight
yard dress pattern in the lot. The
whole lot was made up of shop worn
remnants, of every color, size and
quality, except good blankets that
had cost the government $l2 per
oair, were much worse than the sad
die blanket furnished by shoddy con.
tractors during the war, and could
lay claim to J. Ross Browns merit
Lo could see both sides without
turning the blanket" The present
system saves the expense Of shipping
through SO many hands, and gives
the Pacific coast chance to furnish
the goods needed here. and is COM
pliment well deserved by the govern.
ment, that this branch of the national
department is at last run on an hon
est and economical basis. for in addi-
tion to the inferior quality of goods
for which exhorbitant prices were
paid, being a downright swindle, it
was also the fruitful scenes of Indian
troubles and wars.
The crops look well, unless it is.he
wheat, and that should be put in in
the Fall. Mr.. Swan is tearing down
the old dilapidated structures that
have marred the beauty of Siletz for
many years, and, as fast as possible.
substituting buildings comfortable
and convenient. The Indians that
work, and who are disposed to earn
their living by the " sweat of their
brow" like Mr.. Swan very we'll, but
the other class could get along with
out him, they would rather live on
Tanners diet than toll like white
man. RIALTo.

The "fearlessness'' of Hancock's
epistle is exciting the unbounded ad-
miration of the bold Democracy.
"See how boldly he stands by the
Constitution!' He does and see
also how nimbly he leaps over the
free trade plank in the platform.
The Constitution is pretty safe
thing to strike out for; for even the
Greenbackers are not opposed to that.
There is not word about financial
questions, not word about tariff,
not word which could, by the mos.
! beral Interpretation, be taken as an
indication OF an opinion or either of
these two leading questions of the
day. This may indicate .'fearless

How We Walk.

By means of an ingenious clOck-work
apparatus, Marcy, the French biologist,
has obtained a number of exceedingly
interesting graphic illustrations Of the
manner in which man walks. The id
strument is vertical barrel, covered
with tinely-ruled paper, and as the barrel
is made to revolye by the gearing with
in it, a little pencil makes a mark on
the paper, as the person whose walk is
under investigation steps along with the
registering device. A little air-cori-
presser, worked by the foot of the walker
at each step, sends current of air
through a flexible pipe to the instru-
ment, and gives more or less up-and-
down movement to the pencil. 1t has
been found that the step in going lh
hill is longer than in going down hill
that the step is longer for an unburdened
man than for burdened one, and that
the step is longer when the sole of the
boot is thick and prolonged beyond the
toe than when it is short and flexible.
When a person ascends a hill he quickens
his pace, but diminishes its length, and
he does just exactly the opposite when
descending an inclination on the ground.
1t would seem that MareyS observa-
tions point to the advisability of pedes-
trians in general adopting low-heeled
boots, with thick, projecting soles.
