A Flexible Stone.

ID. Miller, assistant foreman of tho
smith shop Of the Roanoke Machine
Works, has in his possession a piece Of
stone, sent him by friend in North
Carolina. which has tho very singular
property OF being flexible. The piece
OF stone is about half an inch thick, two
inches wide and about ten inches in
length. and can be easily bent either
way. IT will also stretch like a piece
OF rubber, though. OF course, not so
much. 1t seems to BIO a composition of
sand stone and isinRlass. Mr. Miller
says the gentleman from whom no pro.
cured the sample has a quarry of this
singular kind of stone. He has at his

TAX THE IMMIGRANT.

Just how much of the present
depression in the United States is
due to unrestricted emmigration is
of course impossible to estimate,
but chat our ratio of self-support-
ing individuals has been decreased
by the influx Of the poor from
foreign countries is unquestion-
able. This immigration should be
restr.>,eu by Il generous tax. Iie
American laborer needs protec-
ton against the foreigners inva-
sion into his field of employment
just as much as he needs protec-
tion against the competition of his
goods, wares and merchandise.
This increasing influx, a very large
percentage Of which is undesira-
BILE, can be efectually checked in
no other way than by the adop-
ton of head tax. 1t is safe to
say that at last forty five per cent
Of our emmigration is detrimental
to the best interests of the country.
If this be true, we had better
close our ports altogether against
the Foreigners for the ratio of three
undesirable Immigrants to one
beneficial one is altogether too
large to be continued much longer.

IT is unfair to expect Portland
to raise the $4,000 necessary for
the midwinter fair. The entire
state will be benefited if a credit
able exhibit is made and every
county should consider it their
dnty to assist in the enterprise.
The sentiment seems prevalent
that Portland will subscribe the
necessary funds unaided. This is
not right. She now bears consid-
cradle more than her just share of
the burden. The state board OF
immigration has for years been
maintained by her public spirited
business men, while the en-
tire state receives the benefit.
The Portland chamber of COM
merce has been of incalcuable
benefit to the citizens of Oregon.
This is also true of numerous
other enterprises carried on at the
expense of her people. We all
are, or at least should be, inter
ested in a common purpose, viz,
the general advancement of Ore
sgon's interests. About $4,000 of
the midwinter fair fund still re-
mains unsubscribed. ALI have an
opportunity to show the extent
of their interest in the states
welfare by subscribing to the fund.

A PECULIAR CASE.

A peculiar case came before
Judge Fullerton while holding
court in Douglas county lastmonth.
AS near as can be learned the facts
are about as follows: James Kea-
ton was the father of three child
rem that for some time had not
received the care and consider
alton they deserved, The atten-
ton of County Judge Riddle was
called to the matter, who placed
the children In charge of the Or
phans' home at Portland. This
was done, however, without due
process of law and so effected
Keaton that it is alleged his mind
became somewhat unbalanced.
Meeting the Judge on the Ump-
qua bridge one day he drew from
his pocket a paper and at the point
of a gun compelled the judge to
sign it. This document demanded
the release of his children and
the payment to him of $500 as
damages. For this ofense Keaton
was bound over on the charge of
threatening with attempt TO extort
money. He was found guilty and
sentenced to the county Jail for a
period of three months. The
paper spoken of was introduced
in evidence at the trial, copy OF
which was kindly furnished The
GAZETTE by M. o. Wilkins, court
stenographer for this district. For
lack of punctuation marks, and
for bad spelling it breaks the rec
ord and is printed in full below.

1T IS probable that Minister
Willis has met with a humiliating
check in his attempt to restore the
queen by moral suasion. His in
structions from the state depart
ment would not admit of the use
of force In displacing the provis-
ional government and the attitude
of the revolutionists must have
convinced him at once that they
would not turn over the govern
ment to him on demand. His in
structions were plain that as soon
as the queen agreed to amnesty he
was to try to restore her by moral
suasion. The condition of affairs
on the islands will not now admit
of her restoration, as Willis has
already informed the president, at
the same time asking for new or
ders. If these were not received
the old instructions must be fol
lowed. In the meantime the
queen changed her mind, agreed
to amnesty and demanded restor-
alton. Now the state department
tries to throw the blame on Willis
for placing the country in such a
humiliating position, while in re-
ality the president is to blame and
the country will hold him respons-
ible, at least until it is proved that
Willis was in receipt of subse-
qusnt instructions, which he failed
to obey.

A COURT is place wherein JUS
tice is judiciously administered
and not place for the display of
goodness of heart. The latter is
certainly a noble quality, but un-
restrained is liable to lead one into
numerous pitfalls. 1t is also not a
place for the display of oratory to
an assembled multitude, as many
Of the attorneys at the Corvallis
bar seem to irhagine.i The baT is
not INTENDED as a platform, al
though it has been made such in
our county. Arguments presented
by some of the learned counsel at
the last sitting of the circuit court
was highly entertaining to the
audience, but uninstructive to the
judge thereof. Judge Fullerton
seems to be of the opinion that it
is his official duty to please all the
contending factions in the Oregon
Pacific litigation-a thing which he
has not only failed to do, but in
his attempt has brought the road
into a woeful state. He should
grasp the situation with firm
hand, determine on some plan of
action and carry it out, notwith-
standing the opposition he is sure
to meet with in putting the same
into effect. Mistakes of the re-
ceiver or his officials are mistakes
of the court, because the receiver
is an arm of the court and his acts
are subject to the courts approval
or disapprobation. And it is un-
fair for the court to criticise the
receiver for acts that the court has
passed upon and approved.

WHAT wonder is it that the un-

the professional swindler, when
some of the worldly residents of
Portland are gulled by couple of

half column editorial to Adolph
Peterson when he lost $3.50 in

SIX months ago Capt. Mofett, of
the Evening Telegram, was a
strong candidate for governor on
the democratic ticket; but his de-

also, will not prove as popular as
he anticipated.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs of the body are under the con-
troll of the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the brain, and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis of the body below
the injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyZed portion, it will be understood how
the arrangement Of the nerve centers will
cause the arrangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
Two-thirds of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centers at
the base Of the brain, not from derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. The great mistake of physicians in
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centers which
are the cause of the trouble.

1t said we'd neer regret If we'd power to it extend
And posed before the country as
The
Poor
Mans
Friend.
The promises its leaders made, where they all
today?
They tcld!us that the tariff was fraud in every way
fend,
And lied when they called themselves
The
Poor

Friend
They've shut:the shop. they've stopped the loom
disaster Wide Is spread;
Tonight million children will go supperless to bed
The laborer is out of work without cent to spend
His dinner pail is empty through
The
Poor
Mans
Friend.
They'd bring free trade into this land and make
workmen beg,
They'd even rob the soldier of his honored wooden
leg;
They legsate for silver kings with lots of cash to
spend
This party fraud that calls itself
The
Poor
Mans
Friend.
It's president is Grover, and he lends helping hand
To restore a thronless wanton in a far and foreign
land:
And while to want and misery wOrkmen he doth
send,
He has tho cheek to style himself
The
Mans
Friend.
To styx with such party it's living lie and more,
It's stationed hungers famshed wolf at every work
mans door;
In 90 hypocrisy will surely meet its end
Wen crush the fraud that dubs itself
The
Poor
Friend.
