Short Sketches of Our Law Makers
And Prominent Men.
HON. J. ]. FISHER.

Hon. J. J. Fisher is one of Multi
nomah's "chosen nine" in the House
of Representatives. Generally
speaking the ranks of the medical
profession are made up of a class of
gentlemen possessing great stregth
of mind, highly cultured intellects
and a loftiness of character which is
necessary to command for them
the respect of the general public.
They are therefore entitled to the
great condolences which are necess-
arily reposed in them, and which
they guard with all the great trad
itiOnal honor of their noble calling.
Amongst the physicians of Oregon
who are highly respected is DR.. Fish
er. He was born in Missouri, Jan
uary 21, 1S4l, but shortly afterward
his parents moved to Indiana, in
which state he resided until he had
reached the age of manhood. He is
a graduate of Rush Medical College
at Chicago, and began to administer
relief to the sick and afflicted in Ill
inois in 1869. In 1871, he decided
that the state of Nebraska was a bet
ter field for his profession, and ac-
cordinglY removed to that state,
where he resided for several years.
For two years he was coroner OF
Merrick county but 1850 found the
Doctor in Oregon, where he has re-
mained. He settled in Albina,
Multnomah county, where he is en-
gagged in his profession. We will
say in conclusion that the doctor is
a stalwart republican and has always
been such.

The. .ucxicaaS Del lar.

The town Of Arroyo Grande is on
the boundary line between Arizona
and Mexico, q fact which enables the
topers to work an old game. They
step into saloon on the Arizona side
and ask for drink, laying down an
American dollar. The chances are
that the bartender will give them .
Mexican dollar in change. it being
worth only ninety cents. Then they
strike saloon on the Mexican side and
tender the Mexican dollar for q drink,
getting an American dollar for change,
which in this case is worth only ninety
cents. The truthful editor Of the Ari-
zona Howlsr says that the practice has
broken up all the saloons in the town.

The agitation OF the question OF the
admission Of Chinese labor at San
Francisco by the Democratic organ Of
that city prompted an interview with
Senators Stewart and Stanford. Sem
ator Stewart says: .'very likely there
is some temporary inconvenience oc-
casioned by the exclusion of the
Chinese. 1t breaks up labor system
long established, and. of course, il
temporarily embarrassing to fruit
growers, railroad builders and others
who nave relied ON Chinese labor.
Such difficulties, however, will soon
pass away. There will soon be an
abundant supply Of white labor to take
the place Of the Chinese when they
are gone. White men are unwilling
to emigrate To California to labor in
competition with the Chiness; but
when the field Of labor is opened by
the removal Of the latter, there will be
an increased immigration of white
men. who will build up the country,
establish homes and maintain Ameri.
can civilization. If go Chinese had
ever come to the Pacific Coast the
white population would have beer
more than double what il 10 to-day.
To again open the gates to Chinese
immigration would be most disastrous.
1t would be permanent dedication oi
the fairest section of the United States
to a race that would necessarily ex.
clude Anglo-Saxon civilization and
maintain the semi -barbarous institu-
tions Of China"
Senator Stanford says: 1.-THE China.
man is disturbing element in our civ
ilixation. He cannot bs sssimilated
with our population, cannot be q
steady sojournsr nor . colonist. W.
will be in the whole better of withou,
him. no matter if his absence works
Us temporary hardships."
G. p. Huntington says of tie
Chinese labor problem: "Trade with
China has been killed by the Exclu-
sion Act. A prominent American
merchant, just from there, says he
was treated politely, but could sell no
goods. In few years Americans will
be ordered to leave China. Ny
honest opinion is that IL the people ol
the Pacific Coast were to vote without
fear thres-quarters Of them would b
in favor Of multiplying the Exclusion
Act. No matter how much money tbs
Chinaman takes to his home, we will
get it all back in trade. We need
more laborers and in the absence ol
white men and black. why not let u,
have the Mongoliansl"
