phusiclans for the Poor.

No valid excuse has yet been given by
the councilmen for failing TO authorize
the appointment OF four Physicians to
attend the outdoor poor.
To say that It cannot be done because
the appropriation was not included In
the annual budget won't DO. 10 declare
that the city has no money in hand with
which to pay the doctors will not do
either. The appropriation can be made
now. Ii the money is not in the Urea
sury we will warrant that the appointees
will quietly wait until it gets there.
It's a remarkably rigid economy that
is being exercised in our municipal
affairs just now.
The accumulation of a floating debt
of $3.50, 900 hes disturbed our municipal
financiers so much that they kill OF or
POSTPONE measures the most necessary
for the public good. The sooner this
debt is funded the better it will be for
the city.
1t is TO the interest OF every one in this
community to reduce the death-rate
here. That OF the colored people is
much too high and that OF the whites
none too low. With the results of the
recent census before us the Board OF
Health will not be justified in longer
calculating the percentage of mortality
upon a supposed population OF 10000
The blacks spread their diseases
among the whites. Humanity and self
ish considerations alike combine to urge
us to give them free medical attention.
We beg tho committees and the Council
not to seek excuses but to act.

On Friday, in tho United States Sem
ate. Mr.. DoLPH, of Oregon, having
charged that certain States denied the
right of free suffrage TO some OF their in
habitants-negroes, to wit--Mr. VEST,
of Missouri, proceeded to read docu-
mentary evidence showing that in Mr..
DoLPH's own State negroes were denied
the right to work upon bridge CAN
NIEG's knife-grinder is at once recalled
to mind by these facts. What cares a
negro for the right to vote in state
where he is not allowed the right to
work ? 1t is worse than a Barmecide
feast, to be invited to vote and at the
same time scourged from the workshop.
Oregon Will soon have no negroes with
in her borders if she persists in denying
to them the right TO earn an honest
living. When will these Republican
hypocrites let the South alone?

As to your miscellaneous friends and
acquaintance, you can clear your con-
science Of their claims upon your Holt
day consideration this year by giving
them anything in the line of fine pottery.
Il is quite a fad nowadays, this china
collecting. Every woman-at least.
every woman who has been abroad, II
only for n four-weeks' honeymoon
fancies she knows two things when she
sees them. Those two things are lace
and china. And no matter how
many yards Of imitation point nor
how many Crown Derby cups and
Royal Worcester vases made at Trenton,
n. j., she has had imposed upon her,
her faith ia her own connoisseurship
never grows weak. China is, as l have
said, IN the ascendant, and your female
friends and collateral relatives will ac-
credit you with every virtue If you pre-
sent them with tribes OF genuine Dres-
den or Addery or Carlsbad.

10 NEW NOVELTIES.

don't know rs / have quite az much
room remaining for fashions in wearing
apparel as / could desire. but you are
spared just so much infiction oftalk about
novelties, when, to say the sober truth.
there are no longer any novelties, for
we are in the midst of the winter season
and the kings of tho world of chifons
are inclined to let us worry through as
best we may. The one thing new is the
divided riding-skirt, and that still fingers
in the limbo Of uncertainty, and is rather
o vivid dream than a reality. We have
few lady riders who have a passion for
the outre and the cratic, and they are
occasionally exhibiting tho duplex ar
rangement to more or less Mortified
world. After all, perhaps We shall owe
these ladies' something by and by.

CURRENT FASHION NOTES.

The silly chateaine belt, with its mis-
cellaneous collection Of hardware, il it
ever went out Of fashion, is back again,
and with half dozen additional trim
kets dangling from it.
There is penchant for q multiplicity
Of vests. One wears beneath the jacket
at least waistcoat, open to tho bust
and showing an inner vest Of soft ma
terial beneath.
The Partisan despots are sending
forth lately something much nearer the
tail0r-made than they have ever hereto
fore condescended to go.
The walking boot is kind of COM
promise between the common-sense and
the Louis Quinge, and IS perhaps the
prettiest model We have recently worn.
1t is developed in dull kid with foxing5
of patent leather.
Theatre-capes are Of the light evening
colorings and in plush or velvet. OF
course, the lady who possesses sable or
Alasks-seal garment need not, however,
stand on this point Of fashion.
An occasional effective dinner-dress
exhibits the square low corsage with an
Elizabethan standing ruff to the back.

New YORK, Dec. -, 1890.
Now is the season OF the Christmas
shopper. The stores are bright with
holiday goods, and every one is in the
usual dilemma-what to give.
There is no difficulty in fixing mp ,
the children-the girls have not out
grown dolls, thank Heaven, and the
boys still take some slight satisfaction
in boyish things, from club skates to
bicycles. And then the grown.up sister
may be remembered by gOlden-browD
plush church-service, with gold clasps,
q set of George Eliot, or perhaps, after
all, more satisfactory than either OF the
others-a dozen-box Of gloves.
PAPA AND BROTHER.
Then papa will probably receive new
smoking-coat or dressing gown or en-
broidered slippers with resignation. AZ
all events he'll get one or the other or
the family is a notable exception; and
finally ones brothers are neither exact
ing nor hard to please from a gold re-
peator to pair of suspenders there IS
nothing in the whole category Of holiday
goods that ones grown-up brother may
not be presented with or viii not accept
with the same good humor.
So it is only ones best girl or ones
most favored young man who are per-
picking the ones taste about Christmas
tine. 1t is Gance and Gaacee who arc
puzzled.
THE ANNUAL ENIBAHRAssMENT.
Nothing that can be suggested will in
anywise relieve these distressed minds
from the usual, the annual embarrass-
rent. Madamoiselle will make some
thing with her own fair hands, some
dainty tribe Of embroidery or painting.
which will be valued less as a work OF
art than as tho production Of more or
less tender industry. Monsieur will cast
about anxiousy until Christmas eve.
and then in desperation buy the inysri-
able opera-glasses or a perfectly useless
but very expensive vinaigrette.
Possibilities.
II O hint will be taken kindly by this
particular section OF the community: We
are wearing inger-rings, and ever, il
the engHgement-rinR has already passed,
q golden hoop with the,birth-stone of the
lady, or some unique combination de-
vice is allowable and will he welcome.
Brooches, too, are among the posi-
bilities.
As for tho girls, well if the gift is
not to be OF your own workmanship,
buy him some little trihe like
an ornamented silver match-safe or
cigar-case-he won't appreciate a
smoking-set. No man ever yet used a
smoking set. Perhaps that Is why the
stores are full OF them Just now-they
are intended for feminine purchasers.
And don't give a man book unless you
are pretty sure Of his reading taste.
There are men who chiefly read Hoyle
and men who favor the Bible. and there
are a great number Of varieties in be-
tween. There are great many chances
of your striking the wrong book and
very little OF finding anything he will
really appreciate. Above all, don't I'M
agine he likes poetry-he don't.

Nisuuslly "reminiscences.

A. B. Rabbeson, the pioneer, says:
Away back in '46. when DR.. Tolmie was
chief factor at Fort Nisqually, the fol
lowing rates prevailed in trading with The
Indians: One DAYS work, l cotton
handkerchief; one weeks work, l hick-
DRY shirt; one months work, l three
point blanket; use of canoe to NisquallY
and back, cotton handkerchief; l deer
ham, / load powder and ball; 3 ducks,
load powder and shot: l barrel craDber.
ries, yards white cotton cloth; 80 Chi
nook salmon, l hickory shirt; ! good
horse, musket. 1t was common prac-
tice with the Chiefs when the parents of
children died, even of their own tribe, of
taking the children and selling them into
slavery. This we determined 10 put II
stop to. Another custom they had was
that ur on the death of a man having
slaves and horses they would Kill the
slaves and horses, excepting the favOriie
slave whom they would bind upon the
body Of the dead man and place both in a
canoe, which would be placed on high
poles, and thus the poor wretch was left
10 s'arvc 10 deaih-consigned to a living
tomb. These practices We also deter
mined should cease and the Indians be
compelled To bury their dead To satisfy
the Indians so that they would submit TO
our demands peacefully VIC also agIeed to
protect them in all cases where the Lower
Sound Indians attempted to raid their
country. When we made known the re-
suit of our meeting to old Gray Head, the
chi,f, the Tumwaterbranch of the Mis-
quaily tribe, he was we'll pleased and
assured US he would assist us in carrying
out oar ideas, and that we could depend
u; OIL him as friend AMI supporter, and
su. b we found him afterwards To be. In
purs, ing the course thus laid down with
The n hans We had no trouble or cause
fol CO nplaint against those living imme-
diateiy about Us. 1t was not until lS49
that we saw any cause for fear. In that
year the S-l0hOmisll tribe attacked Fort
Nisquasly, and ia the fight ensuing Mr.
Wallace one of our people. lost his life.

Every town desires. or ought to desire,
to advance the value Of its property to
increase its population, to add TO It's vote
