THE RESPONSIBILITY.
Facts Which Condemn the Republican
Financial Policy.

Facts Which Condemn the Republican
Financial Policy.
When an imminent danger threatens.
the first thing to do is to avert it. 1t is
time enough to inquire into the causes
of the danger afterwards
This is plainly the right policy in re-
gard to the existing financial difficulty.
But the organs of the discarded repub-
ican party are laboring to impeach the
sense and the patriotism of great ma
jority of the people by assertions that
'about money the democratic party is
not to be trusted" and that the ''heavy
loss of gold'' is occasioned by the fact
that IAN overwhelming prejudice with
in the democratic party favors silver
payments"
It is due to the truth of history to
meet this Misrepresentation at once
with plain statement of incontest-
able facts:
l. When the democratic administra-
ton came into power, on the 4th of
March, the ''heavy loss of gold" under
repu blican rule had left but 1857. 600 of
Stree gold" in the treasury, whereas
when the democrats went out of power
four wears before the amount of free
gold above the 800, ZOO, 900 reserve
turned over to Mr.. Harrison was S97,-
S74, 422.
2. There has been no democratic
clamor in favor of silver payments On
the contrary, Senators Voorhees, and
Cockrell, prominent advocates of free
coinage, have approved the determine
ton of the administration to pay in
gold.
3. The most active cause of the pres
ent difficulty is the republican silver
act of 1890, under which, as Secretary
Carlisle says, s'the government has
been and now is paying gold for silver
bullion and storing the silver in the
vaults, where it is as useless for any pur-
pose of circulation or redemption as iron,
lead or any other commodity
A. The suggestion of and authority
for silver redemption are contained in
this same republican law, which directs
the secretary of the treasury to ''coin of
the silver bullion purchased under this
act as much as may be necessary to pro-
vide for the redemption of the treasury
notes herein provided for
In fixing responsibility stick to the
facts. But first of ALL let all good citi-
zens sustain the governments policy to
maintain the public credit and keep the
mn bIic faith-N Y World

The Directors VIII See That They Do
Not Continue.
CHICAGO, May 5.-Without notice and
in incognito President Higinbotham,
chairman, and Director Schwab, local
member of the council of administra-
ton, made the rounds of the restaurants
and partook of the viands offered
to the public. In almost every
instance the officials were compelled
to pay extortionate prices for food,
and they will at once bring the
matter before the council and insist
that the conceSsionaires shall maintain
the schedule of figures agreed upon
when they were granted their rights
and privileges. The officials of the fair
will enforce this agreement even if It
involves the dismissal. of every restau-
rant keeper from the grounds, for they
are determined to protect the public
and the guests of the exposition from
outrageous prices for eatables.

IMMIGRATION LAW IooPHoLE.

1t Is Disclosed by a Ruling Of Superin-
tendent Stump
WASHINGTON, May 6.-Superintenden
of Immigration Stump has made an i'm
portant decision in the case of an APP
peal from the ruling of the commits
sioner of immigration at New York
in the matter OF number OF Italian
immigrants The commissioner had re-
fused to allow seven OF them to land on
the ground that their landing would be
in violation of the alien contract labor
law. They appealed to Superintendent
Stump, who, on looking up the case,
sustained the commissioner as far a.
three of the immigrants Were con-
cerned, it appearing that they had
entered into a contract with a mem
Der of a firm in New York before they
left Italy. As to the other men he
found they had not entered into any
contract, but had left Italy on an I'M
Outstanding that a boss on railroad
in the United States could furnish en-
ployment to more men if he had them
There was no contract expressed or i'm
piled in any way, and the men We're &C
cordingly admitted. This seems to dis
close a loophole in the. contract labor
law through which large numbers OF
laborers can be imported into the coun-
try if there is no agreement of any kind
entered into on the other side, but they
are simply given to understand that
there is work for them to do on this
side as soon as they come over.
Mr.. Stump also made a decision in the
case of the ffty-seven Eskimo. who
were brought into the country under
the terms of the special law permitting
laborers to come in under contract for
the Chicago exposition. They were to
occupy an Eskimo village" in the ex-
position. After their arrival in the
United States, however, they were in
duced to leave the employ of the expo
sition people and set up an Eskimo vii
lage outside of the exposition grounds.
The exposition authorities said the
Eskimo had violated their contract and
were no longer protected by the special
law under which they were admitted,
and asked for their expulsion from the
country.
Mr.. Stump decided that as they had
complied with all the requirements OF
the law at the time of their entrance
into the country, their violation OF
their contract since that time was a
private matter, with which he had
nothing to do. He has referred the
matter to the United States district at
torney at Chicago for investigation.

SIGHTS OF A PACIFIC VOYAGE,
One Of the Strangest Is the Sharks Com

One of the Strangest Is the Sharks Com
panion, the Pilot Fish.
Many of the sailing vessels which
come into Portland, Ore, bring one OF
two passengers, occasionally compan-
IONS of the captain, but often cour-
ageous travellers who brave the dangers
of an ocean voyage for the sake of it's
strange experiences. Many End the
passage dreary in the extreme, but an
observant man will derive both instruc-
ton and pleasure from the voyage. On
a recently-arrived vessel, the bark
Pactolus, were two passengers, w. f.
Gray, of Rochester, and Hugh P. Black
inton, of Hoosac Falls, New York. Mr.
Blackinton had much to say regarding
the fishes and birds of the sea and life
aboard clipper freight vessel, such as
the Pacto~.s is. He said to Morning
Oregonian reporter:
I'VE made the trip purely for pleas
ure, and we were well rewarded. When
we were weary of reading or watching
the sailors we devoted our time to fish
ing, and it was simply glorious. We
perched ourselves in the martingales on
the clippers side, in the tropics, during
the prevalence of the trade winds, aud
| caught bonitos and albercores weigh
ing twenty pounds each. Then far at
sea were cape hens. cape pigeons, pen
gums, California pilots and innumerahle
| birds of other kinds. We watched the
| thrashers attack the whales and in a
| hundred ways studied the sea for ole
| hundred and ffty-one days. One of
| the strangest things to us was 2 discov.
cry we made. The thrasher cannot se,,
| to go anywhere, but is piloted about by
| the queer pilot fish, which fastens itself
| just above the head of the thrasher and
thus leads him to the great whale he is
| to attack. We saw this on many diff
| ferent occasions. An observation of re-
cent naturalists also. regarding fish
| parasite on the shark, we fully verified.
.'One day our sailors hauled a shark
on board As it thrashed around a
small black fish about a foot long fell
| from him on the deck It was queer
| fish with thousand minute tentacles,
scarcely visible to the eye, which en-
| abled it to cling to the side of the fish,
where. like a lcech. it sucked the blood
| of the shark
When we went to pick it up we
| could not move it, it had such powers
| of sticking to the board, and we had TO
run long, fat knife under it to loosen
it. Life aboard a clipper ship has many

DOROTHY LEE.

"Swcet Dorothy Lee"
Every bird light and FREQ
Keeps singing to me.
AS IL flies to its nest,
In the tall maple tree
Don't you hear its soft notef
Don't you see as il floats,
It is saying 10 me:
"She loves you, she loves you
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And the clover bells say,
Swinging over my way,
Nodding down their pink crowns
To the brown bumblebee:
They know it right well,
They've a secret for me:
"She loves you, she loves you.
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And the pines overhead,
With their century tread,
Sounding low through the leaves
AS they toss in the breeze,
From the blue dimpled sea,
am as sure as can be
That they whisper to me:
.She loves you, she loves you.
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And G rapture is stirred
At the song of the bird,
And the whispering tree,
AS my heart and my brain
Catch the rapturous strain
They are singing TO me:
''She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And roam through q dream
OF golden-wrought sheen;
A soft web of delight,
For my heart is so light;
Every flower on tho lea,
Every wave of the sea,
Has this message for rae:
''She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee"
And fancy tonight
will ask her outright
If it's true what they sag,
The clover and tree,
And the brown bumblebee,
And the parleying breeze
That comes up from the sea:
They have all said to me,
AS plain as could be:
"She loves you, she loves you,
Sweet Dorothy Lee

WHITELAW REID.
An Insult to the Intelligence of the Amer
lean People.

An Insult to the Intelligence of the Amer
lean People.
The overwhelming rebuke admins
tered to Whitclaw Reid by the country
at the last national election has not cast
out his besetting sin of demagoguery.
Interviewed at Chicago he says that,
despite the heavy foreign demand for
gold, the repu blicans had money enough
while in control of the government. He
has not the grace to acknowledge in
this connection that the money which
barely sufficed to carry his party
through its last term Of power was the
one hundred million dollars left in the
treasury by the democratic adminiStra-
ton preceding. Not alone was this
vast sum squandered under the Har-
rison regime, but millions Of indebted
ness were incurred and the revenues of
the government were spent. No one Is
more fully aware of this than is Mr..
Reid, and he insults the intelligence of
the people by asking theDi to believe
that the poverty OF the United States
treasury and the stringency of the
times are due to a party which has been
in control for less than two months,
and as yet has had no session of con-
gress. The country was saved from
financial disaster by turning down just
such demagogt.es as Mr.. Reid, and put
Ting honest, patriotic men at the head
of affairs.--Detroit Free Press
Most of the officers of the worlds
fair are said to be republicans, but it
may be noted that the president of the
United States, the governor of the

Frisco Mail Service.

On the subject of the San Fran
cisco service, the postmaster-general
states in his report to parliament
that the twelve months agreement
concluded with the contractors will
end in November next, and that a
further renewal until November,
1894, will be arranged. 1t will be
for the new parliament to deter
mine what shall be the future ar
engagements for maintenance of mail
communication with Europe. No
further action has been taken by
the United States postoffice toward
establishing a fortnightly mail ser
vice between San Francisco, New
Zealand and Australia, nor has it
increased its contributions to the
present service. Heavy American
territorial transit charges are still
enforced, and it is now doubtful
whether any reduction will be Sc
cured until the question is dealt
with by the postal union conven-
ton, which is to meet at Washing
ton in 1897. The San Francisco
service shows loss of f7, 4S5 19s
I'd for the year, as against s2,454
lis lid for 1891, the difference be-
ing almost entirely due to increased
payments for transit of homeward
mails across America, and an At
lantic increase in the quantity of
mail matter conveyed by San Fran |
cisco steamers has necessitated an |
assistant mail agent being sent by
each vessel.-New Zealand Star.

the village being rebuilt, and it
was ascertained that the natives
had stockaded themselves a little

On the second of January the postmas-
ter of North New Portland, Mr. JOSIAH
Chase, who had been missing stamps and
