pendence and sanctioned IN the Con-
stitutiou, which make ours the land
Of liberty and the asylum of the OPP
pressed Of every nation, have ever
been cardinal principles in the Demo-
cratic faith, we nevertheless do not
sanction the importation of foreign
labor or the admission ofservile races
untitled by habits, training, religion
or kindred for absorption into the
great body Of our people, or for the
citizenship which our laws confer.
+ American civilization demands that
against the immigration or iinporta-
ton of Mongolians to these shores our
gates be closed. @
The Democratic party insists that it
Is the duty Of the government to pro-
tect with eqnal fidelity and vigilance
the rights Of it's citizens, native and
naturalized, at home and abroad, and
to the end that this protection may
be assured, United States papers Of
naturalization issued by courts of COM
petent jurisdiction must be respected
by the executive and Legislative de-
partments Of our own government and
by all foreign powers.
Z It is an imperative duty Of this gov
eminent to efficiently protect all the
rights ofpersons and property of every
American citizen in foreign lands, and
demand and enforce full reparation for
an invasion thereof. An American
citizen is only responsible to his own
government for any act done in his
own country or under her flag, and
can only be tried therefore on her own
soil and according to her laws, and no
power exists in this government to ex-
patriate an American citizen TO be
tried in any foreign land for any such

This country has never had WE'LL
defined and executed foreign policy
save under Democratic administration.
That policy has eyer been, in regard
to foreign nations, 80 long as they do
not act detrimental TO the interest Of
the country or hurtful to our citizens,
to let them alone that az the result
of this policy we recall the acquisi-
ton Of Louisiana, Florida, California,
and Of the adjacent Mexican Territory
by purchase alone, and contrast these
grand acquisitions of Democratic
craftsmanship with the purchase of
Alaska, the sole fruit of a Republican
administration Of nearly quarter Of
century. ~
The Federal government should
care for and improve the mississippi
and other great waters Of the repub-
lie, so as to secure for the interior
States easy aud cheap transportation
to tidewater.
Under long period Of Dem ocfatic
rule and policy our merchant marine
was fast oyertaking and on the point
outstripping that Of Great Britain
under twenty years Of Republican
rule and policy our comm cree has been
left to British bottoms and almost hae
the American flag been swept off. the
high seas. Instead ofthe Republican
party's British policy we demand for
the people Of the United States an
American policy. Under Democratic
rule and policy our merchants and
sailors, flying the stars and stripes in
every port, successfully searched out
a market for the varied products Of

NORTH FORK. February s.-The weather

consolidate their ditch with one that is be-

ventilation on my part of the views enter
tained by the people in general throughout
this end of the county, by the assertion that
accusations made hereafter, either against
Mr.. Hotchkiss, or this end of the county,
must be made in a specific manner, and they
will be met with a specific reply" ! infer
from this that the statements | made in the
article to which he was attempting to reply,
were not specifically made, consequently
would admit of no conception whatever by
the embryotic journalist over the way. Now,
if mistake not, ! met his fest article with a
reply, the statements of which were not only
made in specific manner but were based
upon facts. as he well knows. reply to
which, made specifically otherwise. seems
yet to be thing OF the future, fact much
regretted on my part, as ] am debarred of the
further privilege of telling his royal nibs,
Mr.. Ross of few more of his clients iniq-
utous actions while attempting to ride into
Office as county commissioner from the
third district. The facts in the case are sim
ply these: He sought at what he thought to
be a most propitiOus moment to immortalize
his name by making n bold, bad bluff"
which he afterward found he couldn't get
away with as easy as he expected, hence the
petty, scurrilous, epithetical invectives which
appeared in late issue of THE CHIEF over
the signature of Frank Il. Ross, who in his
own estimation is the only man in the county
possessed of sufficient courage to write an ar.
ticle over his real name. Mr.. Ross may be a
gifted. brilliant journalist, but the verdict of
the people in regard TO his every effort in that
direction 80 far is to the effect that 'the high.
er that fellow attempts to climbe the Journal

tive powers doesn't consist altogether of what
is known in yalgar parlance as dance-hall
witticisms. Yours for the right.

Leap Year Party a, Rogers.

To the Editor Of THE CHIEF:
north FORK, February 8, lss4-It being
whispered around the lower end Of the val
ley that there was going to be leap year
party on the Rogers mesa, your correspond
ent being especially fond of the institution.
Of leap year, and feeling that newspaper men
and dogs had inalienable right to go where
they pleased, having no inritation, l appeared
on the scene when 10 and behold the follow
ing named ladies came there bearing their
baskets: Mrs. c. o. Rogers, Mrs. Walker,
Mrs. f.. NJ. Walker, Mrs. NJ. Frady, Mrs. r.
o. Wilmot, Miss Kate Smith, Mis-. Kate
Rogers, Miss l.. Head, Miss Miller, Miss ii.
Smith, Miss +. Barrow and Miss NJ. Drake.
At the appearance of these ladies and their
baskets your correspondent became very
much interested and more than pleased, but
what was my chagrin when the gentlemen of
their leap years choice appeared and no
lady left for me. So !, being of a philos-
ophic turn of mind, took il cool and thought
would stay and see what would come of all
this. Tn. next move was Mr.. Freeman, the
his violin, and the swee, strains of music rose
on the air, and each lady taking the gent of
her choice To the floor the dancing began,
and then and there could your correspondent
see in th. faces Of the ladies the pleasure Of
dancing with The gents Of their choice. As
the hour Of twelve o'clock drew on some of
the party began TO unearth the contents of
the baskets. and oh. the good things for a
newspaper mans eyes to look upon. 1t
would be binding tn even you, Mr.. Editor,
to say nothing Of even correspondent, and
then to he invited to partake, il was too much.
and all AT once forgot that no lady had
lected me for the occasion, but felt that they
all had. Altogether il was a pleasant and
enjoyable affair, and all were pleased with
the move and wish it to be repeated often in
the valley. DoN.
