The Race Problem Even in Australia.
Sir George Grey thinks that a barrier
against the participation of New Zealand
in Australian federation is to be found
in the colored labor question, which he
believes is n of the first difficulties
which an Australian federal parliament
will have to face. He has declared that
the northern territories, if they are to be
worked at all, must be worked with col
ored labor, and although he is opposed
to the employment OF Chinese labor,
thinks that kanakas and Indian coolies
might wisely ne employed in the north.
Sir George Grey's information differs
entirely from my own, which is to the
effect that ven in the event Of a divi-
sion of the colony of Queensland the
majority of the people in the north
would oppose the introduction of colored
labor, and l regard it as most unlikely
that this question will be raised in the
federal parliament, should it meet, or
at least be raised with the slightest
chance of a reversal of the recent policy
Of exclusion of colored labor.
No doubt the growing of tropical
produce upon the northern coast will be
prevented, if l am right, but l firmly be-
heve that the Australian people have
made up their minds that the continent
is to be reserved for white men, and that
those industries which cannot be sup
ported by white labor are not to be en-
couraged upon \ ustralian soil.-Sir
Charles Dixie in Forum.

There are debts and debtors, and to
get the former out of the latter some
times requires n good deal of ingenuity.
The case of a livery stable keeper and a
poor paying patron indicates hat fact,
and, as one is dead and the other in Eu-
rope, the story may be told. The patron
had run up a big bill OF the livery man
and neglected to pay.
1t amounted to 49,, and had he SO
wished the debtor could have easily set
tied Mt N time. But he didn't wish.
He knew that his creditor would not sue,
because such course, for various reasons,
would be unwise. Appeals were in vain,
threats We're unheeded, and the creditor
was at his wits end. Finally he hit
upon a scheme, He had his bookkeeper
make out a bill for $3.50, and sent it to
his debtor by messenger, with a request
for immediate payment of the whole
mount. Then he sat down and waited.
In less than twenty minutes the office
door was thrown open and a man en-
tered. 1t was the debtor, and he was
mad clear through. you swindling
v~illain!' he howled, shaking his fist
under the liveryman's nose. What do
you mean by sending me a bill for 1890?
l don't owe you anything like that
amount, and I'll not pay it. I'll have
You understand that I'm too fly for you.
Here's ninety-three dollars, and you'll
not get a cen more.
Saying this he threw the money on
the desk, and glared at the livery man
with hatred in his eye. No one an

Oregon's Deepest Lakes.

A party sent out by the Geological
Survey under command of Captain
Clarence e. Dutton, United States army,
has succeeded in reaching and mallinga
complete survey of Crater lake in Ore
gon, a body of water whose shores, with
the possible exception of one point on
the south, have never before been
touched by the feet of white men. The
party's boats, says the New York GU
server, were hauled hundred miles by
mule teams, dragged by a detail of sol
diers up the snow-clad sides of the ridge
which surrounds the lake, and lowered
by ropes from the crest to the water,
nine hundred feet below. One hundred
and sixty soundings were made, the re-
suit of which gave the general charac-
ter of the lake bottom. Two large sub
merged cinder cones were found, re-
spectively eight hundred and twelve
hundred feet high, the rest of the bot
tom being fat. Captain Dutton believes
this to be the deepest body of fresh
water on the continent. The greatest
depth attained by the sounding line was
two thousand and five feet

The Cadi's Wondrous Wisdom.

Many years ago, says the Philadelphia
Times there lived in an Eastern land a
man who was prominent and thought
to be rich. When he died, however, it
was found his possessions were very
slight indeed In his will, among some
triling legacies, was the following:
'Of the three young men who con-
slider themselves my children, have
just claim to one alone. The others are
not of my blood, but adopted, 1 will
not say who the rightful heir is, but
have left the matter to the decision of
the Cadi. In his possession is one thou
sand pieces of gold which will be given
to my true child after he has proved his
claim"
The three reputed sons at once re-
paired to the Cadi- He thereupon handed
each of them gold ring, saying:
Take this ring and go about in the
world and seek your fortunes. Use the
jewel as talisman, watch over it, pre-
serve it, and after three years return to
me. will then announce who is the

The boys at once withdrew and dis
appeared in different directions amid
the crowded haunts of men, They
never crossed each others path nor
heard of one another, but at the APP
pointed time again made their appear
ance before the Cadi for veal or woe.
'Where is your ring?" he asked of the
first and eldest.
The gold band was handed to the
judge with the remark: at is here.
1t has brought me luck / have had
good worldly fortune, and all goes well
with me-"
Then was questioned the second.
"Here is my ring" He opened his
cloak and showed it, bound round his
neck by silk ribbon. Fortune has
followed my every footstep. 1t has been
continual blessing"
At last the Cadi turned to the
youngest,
"Well, and where is your ring?" The
boy was silent. blush stole DER his
face and his eyes fell to the earth,
Then, after a struggle, he managed to
say;

4 Plea for an AmbnIonce


EDS. RECORD-UNION Our City Trus-
tees should have been uptown last Sun
day morning, and they would have wit
messed sight that would, or should, at
least, have caused their cheeks to blush
with shame on account of the dog-in-the-
manager way they have acted in not pro-
viding this city with an ambulance to
convey the sick and dying to place of
treatment.
They would have seen a poor fellow
who had slipped on the frosty sidewalk,
and had either sprained or broken his
leg, lying there suffering for fully half
hour before a conveyance could be
secured to take him away; and then,
when it did come, he was dumped in and
carted off like so much old rubbish, in
stead of a human being.
| am as much in favor of economy in
running this city's government as either
Of our Trustees, but when her people and
humanity demand that few hundred
dollars be expended in such a needful
and worthy cause as an ambulance for
the city's use, | cannot for the life of me
see why moment should be lost in get
ting one.
Suppose one of our citizens should
meet with an accident on one of our
public thoroughfares, and by some I'M
fortunate circumstance he could get no
conveyance to take him to a place
for treatment with the promptness
that becomes a city like the Capital OF
California; and suppose this party should
bring an action against the City of Sacra-
mento for damages-what would be the
first thing our Trustees would do? Why,
hire some high-priced attorney. of course
and pay him anywhere up into the
thousands for his work.
Now, / ask, would it not be a better
policy to expend part of that sum in
procuring an ambulance that would be a
credit to us, and serve in this capacity for
years to come, rather than to take any OF
these chances? j. O. MARITIME

BOLD BURGLARY.
Mrs. Parke's Lodging-House Raided
Last Night.
The Burglar Drops His Plumber on
Being Detected and Succeeds i'll
Making His Escape.

y bold burglary was committed last
night on J street, between Eleventh and
Twelfth, and unfortunately the burglar
made his escape, although in doing so he
had to abandon his plumber.
The affair was well planned. Mrs. Tod
hunter, ii widow who resides at Ills j
street, keeps a lodging house, and an
elderly lady named Mrs. Parke also
keeps clearinghouse at 1920, only four
feet distant, an alley-way of that width
separating the two houses. each Of which
is twO-story structure.
About half-past 10 o'clock Mrs. Parke
heard noise in her bedroom on the sec
ond floor, and attempted TO enter, but
found the door locked. Being unable to
open it, she called Charles Aiken and O..
S. Flint, two of her roomers, and after
trying the tranSom unSuccessfully they
burst in the door.
They found everything topsy-turvy in
the room-trunks and drawers opened
and the contents scattered about, and
every evidence that burglar had been at
work. A rope was tied to one leg of the
bedstead and hung out of the window,
showing how the burglar had made his
escape.
Behind a stove in the room was found a
small salt or meal sack, containing all
the jewelry belonging to Mrs. Parke,
which the thief had cast aside i'll his haste
to escape.
One OF the gentlemen fastened down
the street and found Officers .Ferral
and Wilson, who fastened to the
house and made an inspection of the
premises. They found ball of putty or
paste on the window-sill, where it had
been laid by the burglar, who intended to
use it in taking out pane of glass, but
he found the window slightly raised.
There was also piece of cloth and a
candle.
Directly opposite the window was one
opening into a room in Mrs. Todhunter's
house, and resting on the stills of the win
dows was pine board that had evidently
been cut just to fit the space. On this
board the thief had come from the house
adjoining.
1t appears that there were several per-
sons in Mrs. Todhunter's house at the
time, and one Of them informed the Off
GERS that, while they were playing cards,
he thought he heard someone in another
part Of the house and so informed Mrs
Todhunter, but nothing further was
heard and no investigation was made.
1t was an easy matter, however, for a
person to enter the Todhunter house and
go up stairs without being seen; but
everything indicates that the burglar was
familiar with the premises, and knew
Just what room in Mrs. Parkes house he
wanted TO plumber, as the board or plank
on which he crossed from window TO
window, had been cut just so as to span
the alley.
Mrs. Parke thinks that nothing is miss
ing from her room.
