It's fame rests securely on trlum-
phal success covering almost quar-
ter of a century. 1t is worthily ac-
corded the highest niche in the tenn
pie of American amusemtnts, and is
the strongest evidence of the survival
of the ftttest. The royal road to the
peoples hearts is reached only
through uuwavering integrity and a
strict adherence to fixed principles
and to this end Sells Brothers motto

What are the young Negroes OF to-
day making Of them selves? This
is question that the writer has been
asked so many times by our bOrther,
the Anglo Saxon. / have answered
this question to the best Of OF my
ability many times. AS it is con-
ceded fact that in all natiOnalities,
whether Jew, English. French, or
Irishman, there is an inspiration for
progress. Though in many instances
poverty presses very hard and gnaws
on the human frame aNl mind like
a ferocious beast of the widest jun
giles of Africa devours its prey which
| lies HELPLESS before hin Yet through
ali these troubles and bestments, he
| like a Jackson, a Garfield, a Daniel
Webster, fight on and master every
conflict with the righteousness Of
hero, until the goal he wins; plants
his footprints on the sands of time
in some way or another for the fu-
ture generations to read and patron
ize after him. The question may be
asked, is our young men equal to the
occasion as described above? We
may now look at the surrounding
what is the cause of impediment Of
/ to-day. Let US make a small analy-
sis of him.
1st. Physically, he is one Of the
| finest specimens Of humanity the
Lord God Of Heaven could have ere
ated, being very we'll made, muscles
being fully matured, standing shoul-
der to shoulder to any man in this
line of physic power. We have a
fair preventative here, for which
we mention, Peter Jackson, who
challenged to battle the champion OF
the world only a few months ago, for
which battle the time has already
, been set. Jackson is an acknoW-
legged champion of Australia, and has
accomplished many victory in the
United States and England.
Geo. Dixon, who holds the feather
weight champion of the world, and
many others | could mention if space
would allow me to do so. Since we
find the negro measuring wihe other
nationalities, physically and lacking
nothing at all, he is active and very
apt when he has a desire to be so.
They are very stylish indeed for fine
clothing, the most of them must and
will have them.
2nd. Mentally. Why not then
compete with him in wisdom and
knowlege? The public schools are
thrown open to our young men, yes,
the business colleges, institutes, aca-
denies are all thrown open unto
him, that he may enter and gain
wisdom and knowlege thereby. We
have a few who have prepared them
selves tittingly, who haye struggled
in the tolls, and with that dreadful
monster, poverty,-and have reached
the tOpmOst round, as far as educa
tion is concerned. And what shall
become of them? Shall they whC
have received from the hands o

Nate Petit, one of the O. P.

the west bound train some time ago.
He telegraphed to Yaquina for it
but the car sweeper at Yaquina
reported that the coat had not been
seen. Becoming suspicious Petit
went down to Kaquina Tuesday
and swore out a search warrant and
searched the premises of Jefreys,
the car sweeper, and the coat was
found in his trunk. A warrant was
sworn out before Squire Parker
and will have a hearing tomorrow.

The school literary society holds
successful meetings every Saturday
night Last week the debate was
as to the relative merits or values
of the mathematician and the his

Apropos of the historian, will not
some of our POLITICIANS refer to the
history of the panic Of 1873 and the
statistician's report in the Agricul-
tural Report of 1873, pages 274 and
3o8, on average prices of animals
and products Of Oregon for that
period, and may / ask if a demo-
cratic administration was response
bic for that panic and the low prices
of 1873. Is il not historical that
honors are about equally divided
between the two parties in the mat
ter of hard times and panics?

seventy-two men whose combined
wealth is said to equal the national
debt and now Astor probably acting
for himself and the Others has
taken up his residence i'll London,
most likely with the intention of
owning Europe. Only we ought
not to permit him, (without re-
monstrance) to risk good United
States cash in the deal. He might
get bit, then Europe would own us,

LET PROF. WILSON READ.
The Economic Systems of England and the
 United States Compared.


 The United States and Great Brit ain are the chief commercial rivals of the world. Sharing alike the world conquering Anglo-Saxon blood, and advancing side by side in the great march of progress, still they are in many respects exact opposites in na- tional conditions and policies. En- gland seated on her ''snug little isle" reaches out with her mighty navy to the uJtermost ends of the earth, and plays her hand in the great game of na- tions. There is no continent where her flag does not float, no sea that does not bear her commerce, and no harbor where her drum beat is not heard.
 The policy of the United States ever since the days of Washington has been the opposite. A continental and not colonial policy. While England has spread herself over the world, the American people has devoted itself to building up America.
 The result has been that to-day we may claim, without boasting, the lead ing place among the nations-frst in natural resources, first in agriculture, and first in domestic commerce. We have railroads sufficient to girdle the world more than seven times. We have increased in population, in wealth, in manufactures, and in the dis tribution of wealth more rapidly than any other nation on the globe or that ever existed It has not been our pol icy to breach out and spread ourselves over the whole world, but rather to make America the best and richest country in the world, with the most intelligent, most comfortable, and most enterprising people.
 And this is what we have done, notwithstanding Europe has been sending to us in the last forty-five years 1G,0oO,oOO of her poorest and least intelligent population.
 In 1891 the United Kingdom. includ- ing adjacent islands, had population of 3S, i04, 900. In 1890 the United States had 62,G22, 900. To-day we have be- yond doubt not less than 67,000,00o When the question is raised as to the comparative conditions of the two countries we need only to consult the tables of immigration. Examining these, we find that there left the United Kingdom and came to the United States the following numbers of per sons in the periods named;
