RAIL ROAD IMPERTINENOE.

In the name of our townsmen we
feel compelled to protest against a
nuisance, which is, moreover, a danger
to life. This is the way freight trains
are stopped across the highways, COM
pletely blocking them to traffic. 1t
should be bourn in mind by railroad
authorities that highways existed be-
fore the railways did; and that they
have the right of way. They may not
rightly be stopped; and railroads are re-
sponsible for it just the same as any one
else who shuts up highways. We trust
q mere mention Of this Inconvenience,
sustained by our townsmen, will be
sufficient. We believe that this is done
by the railroad-men thoughtles3ly; and
is not maliciously intended.

ANNEXATION.

We notice that IIonOre MERCER, pre-
mier of the province of Quebec, is
quoted as saying something as follows
concerning the annexation of Canada:
"The question should Canada be annex
ed to the United States is one that over
shadows all others. The Canadian
people need not think for a moment
that the government of the United
States will put this question. Annexa-
ton does not at all mean disloyalty to
the British Empire; it is simply a mat
ter of loyalty to Canada, and as Cana
dians their plain duty to Canada is first
to be loyal to themselves" Mr.. MERCER
must be man of clear reason. He
has found the truth in regard to the
whole matter. Canada's trade is of no
small Importance to be sure, but it oc-
cupies a comparatively small place in
the aggregation of American commerce.
The United States does not need Cana
da. With us the hOt-headed advocates.
of which there are not very many. of an
neXation are those people who are en-
HANGED with the grandeur of the dis
play that the United States would
then make upon map. But the
United States is necessary to Canada.
as Canada not as a part of a shadowy
empire from which it now receives no
benefit It's entirely a Canadian ques-
ton and the sooner the Canadian peo-
pie can shake themselves free from
their royal" halucinations the better
for themselves. AS to the American
people, annexation would but compli-
cate our political system which is al
ready overtaXed. There are many OPP
ponents Of the project OH this very
ground. But however that may be, L.
question must be made an issue in
Canada; it can never be made in the
United States until then.

SECRETARY LAWS OIROULl-.

We are in receipt of one of the nost
interesting circulars that ever came
to our notice as well as one that we
dare say will have, in its own line di-
rectly and indirectly in hundred of
Others. a regenerating influence. 1t is
a general circular, over Secretary Laws
signature, to the school-boards and
teachers of the county, in which is set
forth a system of reformatory meas
ures as thorough as they are embracing.
The guiding idea that surely led to
these changes was a belief that system
attic study was an absolute necessity in
order that the common schools should
afford the same opportunities as the
graded schools. 1t has been too much
the case, as far as we have been ac-
quainted, that the common school sys-
TENS OF the different states are gotten
up so as to make a good show in figures;
wherefore in practical working they
are disgraceful failures. And what are
the results? A child's best interests
are entirely subject to the caprice of
the teacher, who perhaps in good
faith, must nevertheless work in the
dark as to the child's past experience
or future needs. 1t surely can be no
wonder, it seems to us, that the children
throughout the country are unable to
advance beyond certain point in their
studies. This point is, by no means,
the limit of the ordinary teachers
knowledge; it is only designated as the
time when the scholar begins to go
over again what he has studied long
before. 1t is well-6nown to all acquaint-
ed with common school teaching. The
secretary has proposed very simple
means of remedying this. 1t is a grad
ed system of examinations. They be-
gin with fall and spring examinations
conducted 10y the separate teachers;
then a township examination in the
winter by the secretary and . final
county examination in June for those
who would graduate from the system.
For this uniformity in the school term
is necessary. He therefore urges three
terms: the fall term to close the Friday
before Christmas and the spring term
the last Friday in June. Not the least
important is small paragraph near
the end of the circular in which he
urges the retention of teachers who
have already proven themselves capa
BILE of doing good work" Altogether
we can not but congratulate Secretary
Law on the excellence of his PROPOSE
ton, in the name of the people who
will be benefited by it; and wish him
genuine success in his efforts. But Il
must be understood by the teachers
and school-boards that success in Thu
is laid entirely on them. We urge
them to follow Secretary Laws faithful
guidance and our gratitude shall b.
with them.

PLAY AT WHITE-OAP.
LEWIS RICHARDSON, WELL KNOWN IN
THESE PARTS, Is sCMMARILY DEALT
WITH.

On the morning of the 2lst inst. Lewis
Richardson, OF Roseburg, received q
letter requesting him to leave the town
before the sun went down or before the
sun arose again he would receive some
help. 1t was signed THE White-caps
of Mich" Richardson was inclined to
play the bravo so he at once laid in
plenty of ammunition and spent the
rest of the day shooting ut a white
stocking on bean pole. 1t is said he
hit it once or twice. At night he
cody retired taking his seven-shooter
with HIM "as usual" at +. G.. Tenants
house where he lodges. Mr. Tenant
had gone to church. Richardson was
alOne-with his pistol. At about nine
o'clock the terrible whit-caps appeared.
The house was surrounded; and nine?
so Richardson SAYS. of the fiendS broke
in the door and advanced to take him.
But Richardson is not to be frightened
so easily. He stood his ground, He
tried TO fire his revolver but it would
not 60 Off" At length he was over
powered by mere numbers and bound.
He was cruelty dragged for a half-nile
to the cheese-factory. There, owing to
the pOwerfulness of Richardson's lungs
and slight commotiOn in the factory
where couple of gentlemen were in
hiding, watching the whey-vat. these
hounds were compelled to let the
victim go. Richardson says that be
famed strangulation and, when loosen
ed, cut the ropes and ran to neighberIs
protection. 1t is thought that it was
the intention of these ''enemies of So
ciety" todrown Richardson in the whey
vat. II so, it is owing to his valor
alone that he escaped. However Rich
ardson is naturally brave. But. if there
is any doubt on the question, the gentle
men in the factory, sguatting behind
the whey-vat. can bear witness. Rich-
ardson the next day bought new box
OF cartridges and still holds the field.
The cause for all this trouble was y
little misunderstanding between Rich.
ardson and the financier of the cheese
factory, as was mentioned in our last
issue. 1t seems that in addition to this
little affair before mentioned, he had
brought it about that the summer
cheese had to be sold for ct cents when,
there had been a Granddaughter of tie:
This had affected the purses of the
farmers in that country and hence tha'
