The democratic committee on Ways
and Means does not propose to forget
their friends. They are giving hear
ings to foreign importers. The city
of New York is the gateway through
which the foreigner seeks the markets
of the country. 1t has been built up
by persons interested in encouraging
the foreign trade. rather than develop
ing our own resources and independ-
ence. Hence New York is naturally
democratic and her fifteen democratic
congressman are doing what they
were elected to do, when they labor
for foreign trade as against home
production.

Times are really on the mend although
the Sherman law still continues in
force. 1t is generally grave mistake
to look to legislation to correct evils
of temporary nature, and it is, per-
haps, as well that the senate of the
United States has moved slowly in
repeating that much-discussed law.
Delay has at least taught the country
that. except for the panic into which
it was thrown by the cutlery against
that act, 1T has had but very little To
do with the financial stringency. We
do not think it wise to continue the
accumulation of silver in the treasury
under the Sherman law, and think it
should be repealed. But we cannot
help thinking that the difficulties we
have passed through were the results
naturally following from dishonesty
in banking rather than any inherent
defect in the system. Some honest
bankers have undoubtedly suffered in
the general depression, but, as is the
case with our local bank, these will
have no difficulty in re-establishing
themselves in a community whose con-
iidence they deservedly enjoy That
general upheaval has cleared the at
mosphere of great deal of rottenness
and exposed scoundrels who have too
long been able to impose upon their
customers, and in that respect it has
served good purpose. In this state
it has developed the absolute necessity
for close and stringent examination
of the banking system. A bank is a |
semi official institution. Public super
vision over it will secure not only |
the depositors. but the stockholders |
against the dishonesty of its officers.
We are informed that the only banker |
in this part of the state who has |
objected to public inspection of late |
years. is Mr.. Goss of the Hudson Saw
ings Bank. 1t would have been better |
for his neighbors if Mr.. Goss' protest |
had been given less weight with the
legislature.

Trials of Speed at Pierce Co. Fair.

As there Is considerable misappre-
hension in various parts of the county
regarding the speeding of horses at
the Fair this fall word of explanation
is due. The spirit of the Fair has al
ways been against horse racing in any
form that would draw from the re-
ceipts--by which we mean the money
that should be applied in payment of
premiums. We believe this spirit still
obtains. But the conditions that now
exist lowing to recent legislation) are
such that it seems probable the racing
tournament will be no expense to the
Society. In the first place the state
will pay forty per cent of this class of
premiums. The entry fee charged is
ten per cent. and at least four entries
must be made in each class, which
adds forty per cent. more to the re-
ceipts, leaving only twenty per cent.
for the organization to pay under the
most unfavorable circumstances. III
there should be six entries made in
each class the receipts and premiums
would exactly balance, aud each addi-
tional entry would actually be ten
per cent. surplus. Under these cir
cumstances 1t was thought proper this
year to make trial of this form of
amusement, instead of the hackneyed
balloon ascension, and if it should
meet with the disapproval of the ma.
jority it will undoubtedly be discon.
tinued.

AEIzoLA.

TIE OASIS frequently receives let ters of inquiry about Arizola, and as a general answer in reply to such in- quiries, will say that Arizola is a town on the Southern Pacific Railway where the Florence 1rrigating Canal crosses the track. Three years ago it was a desert: today there is railway sta tion at which all passenger trains of the Southern Pacific stop regularly, telegraph office, post office, an ex- press office, a hotel, store, school house, printing office, stock yard and chute for shipping cattle, and thrifty and enterprising community, with newspaper, THE OASIS, to speak for them. Three years ago the spot on which Arizola stands was taken up as desert land, for which the govern ment was paid one dollar and twenty five cents per acre. Today town lots are selling rapidly from one hundred dollars up, aud cultivated land sur rounding the town is worth from forty to sixty dollars an acre and upward. That is what has been done at Arizola in three years. Come and join in the grand work of making Arizola pros porous city. We have the most fer tile farming land in the United States, and health giving climate not sur passed in the world.

all opposition this form of celebrating New
Year has, with some notifications, con-
tinued to the present day.
In the Fifth century the church began an
energetic crusade against this pagan prac.

voice against 1.-THE superstitious folly of the

Peter Chrysolosus, bishop of Ravenna, also
denounced the custom, and to the excuse
offered that it was only sport, not sacri-
legious, replied: mo one can with safety

SENSIBLE TALK.

Secretary Carlisle in late speech
before the N. Y. Chamber of Com
merce among other good things says:
''Gold is the only international
money, and all trade balances are set
tied in gold, or, which is the same
thing, on a gold basis, all other forms
of currency being adjusted to that
standard. 1t is useless for the advo
Gates Of a different system to insist
that this ought not to be SO; it is SO,
and we cannot change the fact. But
the gold eagle and double eagle are
not accepted at particular valuation
in these settlements, simply because
the United States Of America have
declared by law that they shall be
legal tender at their nominal value,
but solely because the bullion con-
tanned in them, if uncoined, would be
worth everywhere the same amount.
This is a great and powerful Govern
ment, but there is one thing it cannot

THE EARTHQUAKE.

If the earthquake which Monday
shook eastern Canada, New Bruins
wick, Northern New England, and
made itself felt as far south as Palmer
in this State, reached Boston at all, it
was SO weakened by its travels as to
make its motion imperceptible. It's
force was strongest in Canada and in
the section of northern New York
close to the Canadian border, as if
these regions were nearest the start
ing point Of the seismic energy. The
greater energy in Canada would APP
pear to lend support to the theory
of some seismologists that there is a
region extending from fifty to one
hundred miles northeast of Quebec in
which an almost dead volcano is slow
ly expiring, occasionally in it's dying
throes sending forth a shudder that
shakes the Provinces.
Twenty three years ago there was
an earthquake IN Canada whose great
est energy was SO closely localized as
to leave little doubt that it's starting
point was this particular region. New
England has had many slight shakings
up in this century, the severest being
perhaps the shock of 1870, which orig
mated in the Province of Quebec.
None of the earthquake shocks in
New England history has surpassed
the severity of that experienced Nov.
18, 1866. This shock was doubtless
either the extension of that which had
wrecked Lisbon seventeen days be-
fore, or the sympathetic awakening Of
local seismic forces to spasmodic ac-
tivity in North America and the West
Indies. Here III Boston chimneys were
twisted or blown down, and . few
buildings were Frustrated. Men work
ing in fields were thrown to the ground,
and vessels at anchor rocked Violent
ly. In the West Indies there were tidal
waves accompanying the shock. Com
pared with the terrible visitations that
have wrecked cities in South and Cen
trail America, the New England earth
quakes have been insignificant affairs,
with an undignified appetite that is
satisfied with shaking crockery off
kitchen shelves. May they never de-
velop such energies as wrecked Lis

Il THRILLING WAR STORY.

can Unknown Heroine, An Histori-
cal Episode of the War Between the
States,n is the title Of story by Hon.
L. E. Chittenden in which are detailed
the remarkable experience and suffer-
ings of Lieut.. Henry E. Bedell of the
Eleventh Vermont, now resident of
Newport, Vt.
The scene is in the Shenandoah Val
ley, and the story recounts the rescue
from impending death of a wounded
Union soldier by a Southern woman.
whose husband, a Confederate soldier,
was at the time prisoner of war. The
facts, which are we'll authenticated,
are related in Mr.. Chittenden's inim-
liable style, and would, perhaps, in a
a work Of fiction, be considered i'm
probable, if not impossible.
The book contains 314 pages, and is
illustrated with portraits Of the hero
inc and Lieut.. Bedell and a map of
the Shenandoah valley. Mr.. Bedell is
general agent for the DO ok, which will
be sent postpaid on receipt of price,
