TO THE EDITOR OF THE ST. CR0K AVIS
SIR!
The Census Returns of st. Croix for the
decade ending 1880, recently laid before
the Public, are naturally of considerable
interest, for by the census returns of any
island OF country we are enabled to see
how the island or country stands the
returns forming, as it were, a Balance
Sheet, from which we learn, to a greater
or less degree. the available assets, as
regards population.
We find 4 comparative statement Of the
Census Of st. Croix to be as follows.

Statistics Of the California Lodge.
The Grand Recorder Of California made
a report to the Grand Lodge, which shows
the present membership at II, 533, being q
net increase for the year Of 1894. Seventy
two deaths have been officially reported
during the year, and $4,000 paid to the
heirs Of the deceased $3.50 40 has been
collected for the Upchurch Fund. which is
far in excess Of that contributed by any
other jurisdiction, and Ia more than To-
third OF the amount contributed by the

We have in this State, says the Enter
prise. wonderful wood known as noun
tain mahogany" The trees do not grow
large. A tree with q trunk a foot in diam
eter is much above the average. When
dry the wood is about as hard as box wood,
and being OF q very fine grain might. no
doubt, be used for the same purposes. 1t
Is OF q rich, red color and very heavy.
When well seasoned 1t would be q fine
material for the wood carver. In the early
days it was used in making boxes for

. blaze as long as ordinary wood would
last, and is then found almost unchanged
in FORM converted into Q charcoal that
lasts about twice as long as ordinary wood.
For fuel it sells higher than any other kind
OF wood; indeed, a cord OF it brings the
same price as a ton Of coal. The only OBJ
lection to it as a fuel is that it creates such
an intense heat as to burn out stoves more
rapidly than any kind Of coal, however bad.

WHAT il called obstruction" in the
British Parliament is very like what oc.
ours in Congress often. 1t is hardly de-
fensible in either country, though both
parties have practiced it here. The Eng
lish rules Of procedure are somewhat diff
ferent from ours, however. The present
obstruction by the small Home Rule Sec
tion ia as though the little Greenback
group should hamper legislation in the
House Of Representatives. This could
not happen. On the other hand the ma
jority rules in Parliament more than in
Congress. 1t occurs at nearly every SEES
sion Of the Senate or House Of Repre-
sentatives that the minority, by obstruc.
tion, defeat one or more measures favored

not happen. The perfected system Of

ZEN rN THE SENATE.

one If the noteworthy features OF the
,sw United States Senate, which will
meet in March, is the unusual number OF
n.n.lemsn connected with different busi-
oe.s interests who will form part OF Its
membership. Twenty or thirty years ago
uerchaut or banker rarely sought, or,
e he sought, succeeded in obtaining a
.eat in the Senate or House of Represen-
t.t;ves. Previous to the war the planter
interest was well represented in Congress,
INIT Northern and Eastern business men
and farmers were conspicuous by their
absence. The lawyers had a monopoly
of the positions Of honor and trust at
tanning to them as a rule by a regular
process Of graduation and promotion from
the lowest branch in the Legislature up
TO the highest Office in the gift OF the
State. Politics was in fact a profession
and admission to the Bar was considered
the first step in public life The EVIL
effects Of this system may be traced
through the ponderous volumes OF the
Statutes at Large which, until their re-
cent revision and codification, were a
monument Of legislative ignorance and
: stupidity. During the past fifteen OF
twenty years the country seems to nave
become convinced of the a%bsurdity, II
not the danger, of selecting its legislators
from among the members Of one proies-
sion to the exclusion Of representatives
of the commercial and industrial inter-
ests Of the Republic. The ranks OF the
Congressional lawyers, however, are be-
ing steadily reduced, and the next Senate
will contain probably a larger number OF
merchants, manufacturers and farmers
than at any period in the history OF the
government. OF the seventy-six MEM
bers who will take their seats in March
twenty at least are business men, while,
in addition, three others have practically
abandoned law to engage in commercial
or other pursuits. In the elections which
have just taken place five lawyers are
succeeded by five gentlemen belonging to
the commercial classes. The business
interests of the country-its mines, rail-
roads, agriculture, and trade
will this year have a larger representation
than, possibly, they ever had in the high
est legislative body, and the change can
not fail to be beneficial. In an oratorical
way the Senate may not be Sc brilliant
as in other days, but it will be more COM
petent to legislate upon the great vital
interests of the nation.

s. +. ExAMIsER Ohio is surely a
wonderful State to either live or die in.
She has acquired a national reputation
for putting as many Of her living citizens
in fat offices as possible, and now it ap-
pears she is intent upon protecting the
bodies of her dead ones. When a man
dies out there, for the future his remains
are likely to rest undisturbed, since the
placing Of a torpedo in the grave is made
to operate as a quietus on the resurec-
~tionists. Three Of the latter fraternity
attempted to rob a grave at Gaun, Ohio,
and had just reached the coffin when a
torpedo exploded, placed there for the
purpose, and killed one Of the men.
Another man had his leg broken, but
was carried off by a companion who was
uninjured. The question now is, Will
the thing go off like that on the morning
of the final resurrection, and if so, what, in
that event, will become Of the Ohio men
destined for Heaven flor that is where
all Ohio men expect to go. 1t is a case
Of too much protection.

The s25o.ooo to Mrs. Garfield.

-
During last July, soon after the pres
ident was wounded, the New York
Chamber of Commerce instituted
measures to raise the above named
sum to present 10 Mrs. Garfield as a
token Of esteem and as means of
relieving the mind Of the president
from anxiety as to the tnture welfare
of his family. A portion of the press
of the country ppotestsd against such
proceeding as not being the proper
thing to do at that time and as being
a dangerous precedent to establish.
President Garfield however has since
passed away which removes the
cause for the protest above alluded
to, and now would be a most fitting
time for this honorable body to com
plete the fund and present it to the
bereavcd widow. AS the purity of
their motives were not doubted be-
fore they will nnauestionably COM
plete this undertaking according to
the original design.

orthography and punctuation are not
exactly correct, the language is vigorous
enough:
go thou fostering canser on the breast
Of time get the to some barren waste
or desert cline and lap the blistering
dew from poisoned fen and weed and
hear nations curses on thy bloody
deed go where gods love can. never
never-shine and battle. thy lothsome
carcass in the reptiles slime far in the
torid zone-upon some cactus bed
stretch thy cursed form too soft for
your Infamous head and hear the dread
summons in kissing whispers tell how
your damned soul is foremost on the
road to hell let the fierce light from
demons fiery eyes throw thy black
shadow against the thretning skies and
on hels crater may you cen look back
to see thee avenging band swift upon
} our track let space upon eternal space
expand to echo back the curses of our
bleeding land-thou wretch-of this
peaceful age thy name in infamy shall
live on history's page and when you
dead-dead--aud your putrid breaths
gone out over your rotton corpse mill
ions will shout and you will be where

THE MAN TO REPRESENT US IN CON-
GKESS.


The East Oregonian says: "Jour
nails in different parts Of the State are
already clamoring for a man to rep
resent some pet scheme Of their quar-
ter. Southwestern Oregon demands
a man from that portion of the State,
because it wants Yaquina Bay i'm.
proved /; the Northwestern portion
wants man from there because ot
the Columbia River bar; Portland
wants man to look after Portiand's
interest, while Eastern Oregon wants
representative who will get an apr
preparation for the Cascade locke .
In regard to the above. assertions
we can only speak for the people of
Southwestern Oregon, or the friends
to the improvement of Yaquina Bay.
We believe we speak the sentiment of
all of that portion Of our people
when we say that we would scofn at
and ridicule the idea cf supporting a
man to represent us in the counsels
of the nation whose sense of duty
was so narrow and contracted that
he would go there for the sole. and
only purpose of furthering the inter-
ests ofthe Yaquina Bay Improvement
A man elected whose duty it was to
represent all parts Of the State alike,
one with another, and who would so
far disregard that duty and turn his
attention to one locality in disregard
of others would be too dishonest and
contemplate to merit our support.
We want representative who. will
represent the people OF the whole
State and work to develop the inter
ests of every locality. Until each
and every outlet to. the sea is fully
developed and improved, the state
can never enjoy the commercial adj
vantages which nature has supplied
her with and until that time arrives
the people will always have to pay
tribute to some monopoly which
competition would prevent if the
several outlets to the sea were opened
and made available.

THE VIEWS OF THE STANDARD ON THE
YAQulNA BAY IMPROVEMENT.

In speaking of the necessity OF
keeping the engineers at work on the
Yaquina Bay improvements, the Cor
wallis GAZETTE makes it evident that
something must be done or all work
thus far accomplished will be undone.
Interested parties should come to the
rescue of these improvements before
it is too late,-.for a stitch in time
saves nine, often, and they will never
live to be old enouge to cease regret
ting their apathy should they he
made to suffer by any failure to con-
tribute towards this deserving enter
prise The Standard is like Senator
Slater, who, on being asked if he
favored the Northern Pacific railroad
or the Salt Lake route, said: 81 am
in favor.of every railroad or steam
ship line that will benfit Oregon"
II is narrow prejudice and betrays
littleness of soul for persons 10
attempt to throw obstacles in the
way Of the railroad from Corvallis to
Yaquina Bay. The generous heart
and broad mind can see that what
ever benefits Oregon must indirectly
work advantage TO its metropolis,
and any short-sighted policy on The
part of its citizens to igrorantly COM
bat the developments of their State,
as if our city were in a position in
imical to Oregon's improvement, will
be quickly strangled by the intelli-
gence of public opinion.
