THE OREGON PACIFIC.
CORVALLIS, Oct. 2l.-The suit of
the employees Of the Oregon Pacific
railroad company against Col. Y. f.
Hogg, receiver, for the payment of
delinquent wages, came up before
Judge PiDes at o'clock yesterday.
The report of the receiver was filled
and the court adjourned until 3 y.
IN. to hear the report. When court
re-convened the report was read,
and Receiver Hogg stated his inabi-
ity TO raise the money to pay the
employees, whereupon representa-
tive of the Blair faction of the New
York bondholders, arose and made
a statement TO the court that if the
court would remove Col. Hogg and
appoint a suitable man as receiver,
whom he would name, he himself
would advance sufficient funds to
pay all claims for labor and operat-
ing expenses of the road now due.
After argument by the attorneys
Judge Pipes ordered that the case
be continued until Friday, Oct. %,
until which time the receiver shall
have to pay the men, aud if he still
refuses that the road shall be ordered
sold as soon as possible according 10
law, which would be within four or
six weeks, the money arising from
the sale to be applied first to the
payment of the men.

pie would like to know whether
it is true, as has been charged

the National Banks examiners

other things, not forgetting
Secretary Fosters juggling with

Binding twine, by reduction of
the tariff, can be bought for half
the price it formerly eonld. Still
the high tariff is good for the farm.
er, our Republican friends tell us.
Quinine only costs about one
third the price it did when it was
on the. tariff list. These are facts,
and they stand undisputed BY the
high tariff advocates There is, no
other reason than the tariff for this
decline in prices. There can be no
other. 1t seems reasonable to an
unpreiudiced mind that, if remov.
ing the tariff from these two com.
modities cheapens them, then it
would have the same result if ap.
piled, to other articles.

One thing you notice at a, Chinese
drama is the extraordinary absence of
gestures. If facial play will not ex-
press the simulated emotion then tue
actor leaves it to the imagination of the
audience. The interpreter tells you
that the piece is several hundred years
old. The principal actor furnishes it
up. All Lum puts in q song Or two.
And it lasts for a week. The audience
resembles the play. 1t comes when it
pleases and goes when it pleases.
1t knows that it can take up
the thread Of the story on any day at
any point. 1t is aware that the viceroy
