VERY TIRESOME.

The way the valley papers are
gushing over football games, is
very tiresome. The appropria-
ton eof 100000 of the peoples
money has enabled the State
university to import California
coael1er, and the Agricultural
College, backed by a similar pull
at the treasury, has followed suit.
The:people likeete be humbugged.
The above paragraph is from
the Roseburg Review. The peo-
pie may like to be humbugged,
but the Review should find no
fault with them fer that. That
paper is just as fond of humbug-
ging the people. 1t knows that
not one cent of the appropria-
tions for the Agricultural College
or the State University is diverted
in any way towards the mainten-
ance of football teams. All the
expenses are paid by private COLI
tribution from the students, pro-
fessors and principally, at least in
Corvallis, by public spirited citi-
zens. The students of the col
lege here like to play football.
The citizens of Corvallis enjoy
the game as spectators. They
spend their own money and it is
their privilege to do Sc. 1t is
not a matter of any concern to
the good folks OF Douglas county
how the people of Corvallis spend
their money. The way the
Roseburg papers are putting
their noses in our business is
very tiresolne.

4 SERIOUS MATTER.

The people of Corvallis do not
need to go to San Francisco for
examples of depravity in the
young. A scandal is protrudiRg
itself upon US that is justly
arousing the indignation of the
citizens of Corvallis. But a
short time ago a young, unn,ar-
ried girl about IS became a
mother. The matter, although
generally known, was kept as
quiet as possible. Several
young men who were reputed to
be the associates of the girl,
simply laughed over her 1nisfor-
tune and their escape, and looked
for new victims. Now a sister
of this girl, child under 16
years, will shortly bring a
nameless offspring into the
world. The young men who
are responsible for her downfall
are endeavoring desperately to
evade the punishment that is
justly theirs.
The best interests of the co1,a-
munity demand that these cases
do not escape the eyes of the
law. Such outrageous fauntings
of immortality in the face of de-
cency must not be tolerated
The effect on the young is most
harmful and dangerous. This
band of young deflers must be
taught to respect others if they
have no respect for themselves.
The mother of these girls is
an honest, hard-working woman
and bears a good reputation.
She has endeavored to rear her
girls Alright, but was powerless
against the persistency of the
shameless libertines who obey
no law but their own passions.
1t may be impossible for the law
to make these young men follow
the principles of moral purity,
but it can force them to main
tain an outward se1nblance of
decency.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Today the people of the United
States unite in thanksgiving to
a benign Creator for all the good
ness He has bestowed upon them
as a nation and as individuals.
It is a day in which to forget our
sorrows. Each of us must have
our portion of care but most of our
worries we make ourselves by
brooding over and magnifying
our several ills. Today of all
days we should resolutely forget
all else but the countless bless
ings that are continually being
showered upon us. 1t is a day
for earnest rejoicing. 1t is day
that appeals to our deeper nature.
Many happy customs are asso-
ciated with this national holiday.
The people, regardless of creeds,
usually unite as one congrega-
tion to express publicly their
thanks for the rnercies of the
Great Giver of all good. 1t is a
day of family reunion. Sons
daughters look forward to
Thanksgiving Day when they
shall be united around the family
table that is laden with the mon
ster turkey, the cranberry sauce,
the pumpkin pies and the other
savory dishes that custom has
made appropriate for this days
feast. Thanksgiving Day is also
a special time for the manifesto
tions of our charitable impulses,
1t is a day for rejoicing and a
day in which we should :en.
deavor to make otkers rejoice,
The poor and needy, the SICK
and the suffering should receive
unusual attention on tins day.
Let us not only relieve as we'll as
we may the wants and needs O.
the unfortunate with whom we
may accidentally meet, but le
us look for those to whom OIL
mite would be a blessing but
who do not obtrude their sorrows
upon the world.
The celebration of this day in
dicates that the spirituality ant
the sturdy sentiment that charac
terized the founders of this grea
nation still lives.

Father commenced getting after me

with father while we were quarreling.
Father asked me where had been. I
told him had been hunting. Then
he slapped me In the face and told me
to go and cut some wood. This made
me so angry that did not know what
was doing. I went into the house
and got fathers rifle. I came out and
stood in the kitchen door. Father and
Mckercher were still standing by the
fence talking, and mother was stand

SHUT THE GATES.

The most clever argument that
has been advanced against the
policy of protection is, that it is
idle and foolish to expect the
manufacturers so protected to
divide the profits with the la
borer. The working man, the
critics say, will only get what
his employer is forced to pay
him, and, to shut the doors of
our nation against the products
of foreign labor, but to open
them wide to the foreign 1aborer
himself, benefits the capitalist
but is a poor sort of protection to
the American workingnen.
1t must be confessed that there
is a great deal of merit in such
criticisms. What is the use of
trying to protect the American
laborer against the competition
of the foreign laborer on foreign
soil when we allow that foreign
laborer to come to America and
enter into direct competition
with the American.
The republican party should
round out its policy of protection
by advocating strenuously and
at all times that the gates of
America be shut against the i'm
portation of foreign labor. The
present restrictions are practi-
cally nil. Every day vessels
unload swarlns of the lower
classes of Europe at out docks.
We don't need them. We not
only can do without them but
they are a constant menace to
the prosperity of ogr working
people, and they have harmful
effect upon society. Anyone who
has seen, as the writer has done,
the immigrants landing at Ellis
Island, in New YeTk harbor, will
feel pang of fear for the security
and permanence aof Our national
institutions.
| The republican party, by the
logic of events, must surely
make this one eff its leading prin-
ciples- The hboring ,1nan will
not be satisfied with a protection
his share of which is held in trust
by his employer. The republi
can party is;tfe party of protec
ltien and full, cornplete.and equit
able protection can only be as
sured when the gates are shu
against the7foreigner. The dem
ocratic party will never dare fgh

COLLEGE FOOTBALL.


It is suggested that it is i'm
proper for a college or university |
to maintain a football team, or
to encourage athletics and out
door sports. From time 'simme-
1norial," as the cant phrase has
it, there was not a college in the
United States that did not keepl
up baseball club; there is not |
one now that has any life that
does not keep UP football team.
1t is said that some of the
young men bet money on the
game last Saturday, and that
some of those who were down
from Corvallis spent a greal deal
of money and "saw the town
Saturday right.'' 1t is quite
possible. Many of the students
at Corvallis are possessed of
means and spend their money
freely, But we heard of moth
ing improper. Youth will have
its fling, and there is no suppress
ing all the life and vitality in
young men. A race of young
men in whom all traces of hilar-
ity could be suppressed would
not amount to anything and
would not be worth educating.
There are excesses and abuses
connected with all sport. Garnb-
ling is not the object of amateur
sport. Its organization is to rig
idly guard against the develop
1nent of the gam bling propensity.
Amateur sport has done more to
wipe out gambling in connection
with sport than any other inhu-
ience. We believe there is great
virtue in college athletics, and
we believe enthusiasm for honest
outdoor sports is productive, Of
more good than bad results.
There are those who would sup
press all manifestations of a
sporting nature. They do not
understand human nature, nor
rational organization of society,
which are both best served and
their true interests promoted by
the largest possible free activity
of the individual. Why the
taste for football and other athlet-
ic sports should be suppressed IN
the college student any more than
other young 1nen, we can not see
The sedentary pursuit of col
1ege career demands the stimulus
and excitement of outdoor sport
more than almost any other oe-
cupation.-capital Journal.
! 1t might net be out of place to
state that no gambling or other
improper conduct was INDUCED
in by the O. A. c. students while
at the Capital city. The young
men attending the agricultural
college are scior1s of the best
families of the state, and never
forget that they are gentlemen.
It is possible and even probable
that some Of the Corvallis en-
thnsiasts who accompanied the
team did wager some cash on the
outcome of the game, but from
the very nature of things it is
needless to suppose that they
gambled among themselves. Il
there was any money wagered by
Corrallisites, like amount was
put up by Salem sports. One
thing is certain, the Corvallis fell
lows didn't win anything and
will doubtless deny having gamb-
lied at all. In fact, if Brother
Hofer was compelled to prove by
residents of this place that there
were any bets made he would
| have a sorry time of it. The
fellows that lose usually saw wood

ford favored the reform movement.
He believed then the monarchy
should be overthrown and favored
annexation to the United States,
as he does at the present time.
After the revolution of 1887, In
the latter part of that year or early
in the next, he became involved In
difficulties for refusing to turn over
funds that had been given him to
aid the side of King Kalakaua.
Until the dissolution Of the Homo
lulu Rifles in 1890 by act of Leg
islature, v. v. Ashford took e
prominent part in the political af-
fairs of the country. He has been
known, or suspected, to be in every
revolutionary conspiracy since his
advent In the country. Although
he accepted command of the Gov
ernment forces at the time of the
Wilcox insurrection in 1889, his
conduct of affairs on that occasion
raised grave doubts Of his loyalty
and good faith. It was afterwards
openly charged by Minister Thurs
ton in the Legislature that he and
his brother, G. W., were both know
ing to Wilcox's plans. He is sup
posed to have been concerned in an
abortive conspiracy against the
Government in the following year,
and in May, 1892, was, with Lot
Lane, Wilcox and others, arrested
on a charge of treason. Having
been discharged by Judge Dole on
his preliminary examination, and
learning that he was to be re-
arrested on another charge, Ash
ford skipped the country and did
not return until after the overthrow
of the monarchy, when he offered
his services to the Provisional Gov
eminent, who, in view of his former
record, appears to have had no use
for him. He is regarded by those
who have watched his course since
his arrival in this country as
chronic plotter and conspirator.
Yesterday, when called upon to
assume the striped convict garb,
Mr.. Ashford made strenuous OBJ
jections and wished to see British
Commissioner Hawes. Marshal
Hitchcock called upon that official,
who informed the Marshal that he
did not feel called upon to take any
action in the premises. However.
the matter will be held IN allegiance
until today, when Commissioner
Hawes will interview President
Dole and Minister Hatch touching
the incident.

afternoon, and shortly afterward
Major Potter read to Ashford the
sentence of the court. He is to be
imprisoned for the term of one year,
and to pay a fine of $1,000. The
sentence as transmitted was ap-
proved by President Dole.
Mr.. Ashford's imprisonment does
not include hard labor. His health
has been impaired for some time,
and his present condition would
preclude the inhiction of such pun
ishment.
The following brief sketch of the
military and civil life of the pris-
oner previous to his residence in
the islands will be timely:
V. V. Ashford was educated for the
law, but Joined the Union army when
barely sixteen, and served two years
in Virginia, under Sigel, Hunter and
Sheridan, and before he was eighteen
was promoted to commission in
regiment (21st New York Cavalry,
which was sent to the recruiting camp
by Sheridan after the battle OF Win
chester, with but seventy-eight Off
GERS and men out of 1900 who had
marched into Virginia the previous
year. After the surrender of the Con-
federate armies in the East, the 21st
served one campaign in the Indian
war, in the department of the Platte.
He subsequently spent some time In
active service in the 46th Canadian
Regiment on the frontier, during the
period of the Fenian invasions. He
was among the volunteers in Colonel,
now General, Lord Wolseley 8 expe-
dition to the Red River of the North.
He served in every grade from private
soldier to field officer in the 47th
and 18th British Regiments. .of-the-
Line and the 18th Hussars,
in connection with the Officers
Training Schools, established by the
British War Department in Canada,
and has the highest certificates ever
issued from that branch of the De-
partment, having been under the per
sonal instruction of such men as Col
onels Loughry, McKinstry, and Soame
Gambia Jenyns, all since Lieutenant
Generals. He was q particular friend
of the latter. who, as Captain OF the
18th Light Dragon Guards, led that
regiment in the charge of the six
Hundred" at Balaklava. He was for
several years a subalterD, and after
wards Troop Commander in the his
toric Northumberland and Durham
Squadron, and later Captain and Ad-
jutant of the Sd Prince of Wales Royal
Dragon Guards: and when he left
Canada for Hawaii, in 1884, ranked on
the army list ss Captain and BIT. Major
of Cavalry. Up to that time his occu-
patiOns in civil life Were mostly con-
fined to engineering (Iai road survey
and construction and to the publish
ing trade-both newspaper and books.
Mr.. Ashford came to Honolulu
about 1884 and has beer prac'
ticing attorney since thai time,
and until recently in partnership
with his brother, G. ". Ashford;
Some time during the year of 1886
his former military experience led
to his election as Colonel of the
Honolulu Rifles, succeeding w. IL.

Japanese laborers introduced into
Fiji in the early part of this year
by the Colonial Sugar Refining
Company, to the number of some
300, is likely to turn out a COM

men were transferred to the COM

the 240 there located it is reported
that $50 are in the hospital, while
