been created as sinecnrcs for imptcuni-
GUS and exacting politicians.
This load of taxation has not only i'm
poverisbod the toilers, but it has caused
a great public evil by dcmoralizing the
whole civil service, and converting q
hundred thousand ofliceholders into a
standing army Of political partisans.
Fer years past cry for relief has como
out of the cabins aud cottages of millions
of workingmen. 1t has attracted no no
tice from the party which had the power
to grant q remedy. The monopolists
have controlled legislation on this sub
ject, and they are deaf to every proposal
of concession by which their profits
might be diminished. t.
Now, on the eve of anIexpiring Con-
gress, this question is again debated,n and
With no prospect of better success than
heretofore. At the last session Mr.. Kel-
ley protesting to speak in behalf Of the
Committee of Ways and Means. volun-
tarily promised to bring in bill which
would reduce the internal revenue seven
ty.Gve millions of dollars. That an
nouncament was followed by caucrs
where Mr.. Kelley was disciplined; and
then his pledge was redeemed by little
bill of reduction for sixteen millions on
cosmetics, matches, bank checks. and
patent medicines! And that bill was de-
ieated.
In its defeat, however, it furnished the
basis for the tariff agitation iD the Sen
ate and for the measure lately reported
by Mr. Morrill, from the Finance Com.
mittee. The House has also been dis.
cussirg at the same time another bill
from the Ways and Means. Neither OF
these schemes agrees with that PROPOSE
by the Tariff Commission, and none Of
the three gives substantial relief to the
sufferers who most need it.
Hence the situation my be summed
up briefly aud conclusively: The lills
before Congress reduce some of tho pres
eat duties, but IN EVERY IMPORTANT IN.
STANCE THEY INcREAsE TAXATION. If either
of them should pass finally, or il a con
ference bill should 10 framed by Mr.
Morrill, and Mr. Kelley and be adopted
THE EXISTING BURDENS WOULD CONTINUE
IN NEARLY ALL THE FORCE OF THEIR oP
PRESTON. If these attempts shonld fail
the mNnopolists will rejoice as they fall
back on a tariff, which some OF them say
does not give sufficient protection in tim,
of peace.
The doors of real relief are closed for
this Congress, no matter which of the
suggested alternatives should come tc
pass. The Republican statesmen have
shut their ears against reason aud theil
eyes against light, The people will know
how to fiud redress at the next elections.

luxurious enseas fancy sometimes pic
lures it, There is good deal of the at
mosphere Of drudgery about it an1 a
trying spirit-destroying confinement
which some organizations could not
brook. Then, too, those who honestly
devote their seven hours to hard work
in close hot rooms day after day do about
all that ordinary constitutions are equal
to. Still the purpose Of congress is, ap-
parently to add the hour. Dom PEDRO.

THE DAVIS-WILLIAMS FIGHT.
Bill Davis Wins by a Deliberate Foul,

Some 1000 or 1900 people gath
cred at Union Hall, San Francisco,
last Friday night to see Bill Davis,
ex-champion of America, knock out
Bill Williams, the colored heavy
weight champion Of this coast, in four
rounds, Marquis of Quccnsbury rules.
The fight opened with Davis making
a rush upon his ebonized antagonist,
Williams meeting it firmly. To the
surprise of everyone both men showed
remarkable lack of science, Will.
Jams throwing his arm about like a
windmill and the ex.champion bear.
ing his age heavily and striking feebly
clumsily. After sparring, William.
managed to throw his arm out in some
sort of fashion and Davis went down
as much through weakness as anything
else. Forgetting his direct caution
Williams leaned over the fallen maj
and struck him. The foul was toe
obvious and deliberate, and, though
Davis lay exhausted on the floor, thu
fight was given him, amid the tumul
tuous cheers and groans of the excited
audience,

Mr.. White on CamaS Prairie.

E. "A. White, who has just returned
from a trip of inspection to Camas
Prairie, says that the land out there
will grow anything-even to nickels
and $40 pieces. HIS homestead,
which is on the quarter-section ad-
joining the TINES mans. timber Gull
ture, he would not sell for $1,000.
The Middle Fork of Soldier Creek
flowing diagonally through the TINES
mans land, makes it much more valu-
able still. Soldier Creek at this point
is quite stream, and although not
navigable for sea-going vessels, it car
ries a body Of water more than ample
to irrigate all the land in the vicinity.
Mr.. White is satisfied that Camas
Prairie can, and will soon, support
hundreds of families. The roads be-
tween the l'rairie and Wood River,
however, are in bad condition, and
Mr.. White thinks that much easier
road could be made at slight cost.

THE BACKBONE.
IL Is Increasing its Yield Of Ore, aud
furnishing Hundreds Of Men with
Employment.


The camp Of Bullon-the "Back.
bone' of Wood Rivers experience
ing sort of re-awakening. During
the past few weeks the force at work
has been greatly increased, and there
IS not an idle man willing to work in
Bullion to-day. The Wood River
Mining Company, which owns the
Bullion-Ophir group, has about 100
men at work; while the MayAower,
Jay Gould, o X, Eureka, and other
companies and claim owners must be
employing between 800 and 400 more,
with prospects of further increase
soon, when the jiggers that are in
course Of construction shall be in
operation. Then the production of
the camp will probably amount to 80
tons per day, as follows: The Wood
River Company, 10 tons; the May
flower, 5 tons: the Jay Gould, tons;
the ldahoan, 10 tons. This besides
the first class ore, the yield of which
will probably amount to rs tons per
dav.
This yield can be continued until
the snow blockades the roads to such
an extent as to greatly interfere with
shipments. Then the production will
probably fall off by one half, at least,
because hauling will be too expensive
and other improvements may increase
the cost of concentrating. But the
season will make very little difference
at Bullion in future, so far as work
ing the mines are concerned. Men
working 300 or 400 feet underground
care very little what the kind of
weather.
With other localities it may be diff
ferent; but Bullion will, in future, be
nearly as good camp in the winter
as it is in summer.

THE WOOD RIVER CIRCUS.
4 Fine Opportunity Afforded TO Adyer.
tisc Our Wealth.

1t is now asserted that the half of
the people of Bellevue have Joined
the great Wood River Mastodon Cir
Gus troupe, and that the other half, to
avoid becoming lonesome and beng
left, will travel along after the circus
like the Egyptians of old seeking ne W
homes in promised land. The no.
torious Bellevue auctioneer has re-
ceived proposals to go along and open
a side show in little tent with his
crank organ, and to exhibit on the
road through Oregon various relicts
of households III Bellevue. Mrs.
Frush, one of the lady equestriennes,
will be supported in various gymnas-
tic acts by a number of noted bare
back broncho riders. Mrs. Willmont
and Mrs. GiliAirt will do some Of the
fancy riding on the side, and four
clowns will crack the whip over the
fiery steeds to the tune of Yankee
Doodle by the full band. \ board
ing-house on wheels will be taken
along, and the troupe will dine on
the road while travelling, to avoid de-
lay. This circus outfit will no doubt
meet with furore of excitement
through the Webfoot country, until
bought out by John Robinson's or
some Of the older companies as a
means Of self-preservation, as it is un-
derstood that if no such casualty hap
pens they will continue to travel until
they show in New York and London.
A cabinet of Wood River specimens
of ore should be sent with them as
part of the exhibition, also some po-
tatoes and wheat from Camas Prai-
rte.

WALKER vs.. WALLACE.
Third Day Of this Somewhat Remarks
BILE Case.

The malicious mischief case of
Walker VS.. Wallace, which was again
continued yesterday to secure a new
trial before an unbiased jury, was
called at 10 o'clock this morning and
again deferred until p. M, as a full
jury was not obtained. There were a
number called but few chosen. At
torney Montandon had his war paint
on, and challenged the jurors as
rapidly as the Sheriff brought them in,
and had them sworn. No man was
accepted who admitted he had formed
any opinion which evidence alone
would dispel, and therefore it was
difficult in this enlightened, thinking
community to find eleven who had
formed no opinion. The trial will
progress slowly and, it may be, will
consume several days before jury
can be found to agree.
In many respects this case is as ex-
citing and lmpo, tant to the local pub.
lie as the celebrated cases of KATY
Did and Katy Didn't, or Tilton VS..
Beecher, were to the general public;
but since the contest has reached a
point where it must proceed, some.
body will doubtless be convicted OF
something by the suffering jurymen
to escape torment.

scene, discovered that it was ground

located Il homestead under Bachc's
clearinghouse, which is on desert
land, and the riot was occasioned by
an attempt to expel it, but proved
fruitless, as the animal went into It's
hole and pulled the hole in after it.

most important decision rendered,
by the Supreme Court of the U. S.,
to-day was, that in the five cases,
commonly known as the Civil
Rights cases, which were submit
ted to the Court on printed argu-

Court in an elaborate and careful

Bradley, holds that the first and
second Sections of the Act of Con-
gress, of March lst., 1875, enti-
tied "An Act to Protect all Citi-

Rights. are unconstitutional and

PROF. MOORE ON EDUCATION.

We take great pleasure in call
ing the attention Of the public to
the address OF Prof. Moore on Ed
ucation, which appears on the first
and fourth pages. We feel satisfied
that if the columns of The Mes
sENGER should forever be graced
with such matter AS is contained
in this speech, our paper could
not fail to show itself a literary
success. The fiuency with which
Prof Moore delivered it, was ex-
ceedlngly striking and immeasur-
ably interesting. The people Of
Easley might we'll congratulate
themselves on their excellent
school and the teachers thereof.
1t certainly challenges comparison
with any other school Of the like
in the State. 1t is so we'll attend
cd and SO we'll disciplined that it
is already a success. For the
young it's perfect Kinder-Gar-
ten. For the older it has equal
advantages, and for the oldest it
offers the finest avenues to the
fountain head of knowledge. May
the Professors home be in our
midst for time yet to come, and
his potent influences ever spread
from house to house, until all,
like himself, will be able to appre~
ciate the Importance Of letters and
realize the happiness resulting
from an acquaintanceship with
them.
