The rabbit in Australia has devel-
oped from a serious inconvenience
to a question of grave Importance. IN
New South Wales alone over 100000
acres of land have been abandOnded be
causeof the imposSibility Of keeping
down these rapidly increasing pests. This
colony has spent over S., 900, 900 in wag-
ing war against the rabbits, and in one
year paid for 27,000,O00 rabbit skins.
Fifteen thousand miles of wire netting
have been erected, and thus far nothing
else has been invented chat seems to do
any good. Poison, wholesale slaughter
and incubation with disease germs have
all been unable to check the increase.
An unmarried man or woman of
manageable age is something that is
rarely seen on the Fiji.Islard. The rea-
son of this is not far to seek. The natives
believe that if person dies while IN an
unmarried state his or her soul is doom

ages of eternity in an intermediate re-
gion between heaven and hadeS. At the
end of each moon they are allowed to
look into heaven, but are never permitted
to enter.
Recent reports in regard to the &C
QUESTION of property by negroes are

southern states, including Missouri, and
leaving out Maryland and Delaware, pay
taxes on $136, 300, 900 worth of property.

HOW. j. NJ. GRlGGS.

THE News prints, this morning, a for
nal announcement by Judge j. M
Griggs of his candidacy for congress
subject to the action of the democratic
party in the second district.
This step has been taken by him
advisedly, and his friends are well assur~
ed that he is not pursuing a phantom.
His candidacy is the result OF demand
that comes from every section of the
district. These solicitations have been
of the most flattering character, and in
dictate more than partisan interest on the
par of those who have seen fit to advo-
cate his claims, and who are familiar
with his qualifications for the high office
Noone who has watched his public life
have failed to be Impressed by his abili
ty, his earneS ness, and his honesty in
dealing with all questions affecting the
public welfare. Bold and aggressive,
yet conservative, in his advocacy of
whatever policy he believes to be right,
he recognizes no authority higher than
the will of the people, and consults no in
terests save thoseof the. masses. These
characteristics mark him as man to be
honored and trusted as public servant.
Judge Griggs has decided convictions
as to the proper D 'licy to be pursued in
carrying out the reforms to which the
democratic party stands committed, and
:, -inging words, every syllable of which
breathes a spirit Of patriotism, he fully
sets forth his views in his letter Of an
nouncement. He states his position GA
the questions now before the people
H,,.'..nly ,Iconcisely and unequivocally, and
none can fail to understand or to know
that he is in full sympathy with the
struggling masses.
1t is with a just feeling of pride that
Terrell presents her distinguished young
democrat to the voters of the second
district as a candidate for congress, and
does SO with full confidence in his ability
to lead the party to victory in the next
campaign.
Judge Griggs is now fairly in the fight
with a united home support, and no man
is better able to carry it to successful
finish.

Speer, announcing his candidacy for the

IT has heretofore been the custom to
hold two democratic state conventions
in Georgia in presidential years. 1t has
been suggested that only one convention
he held this year, and the contending
factions are proceeding to raise big
row over the matter. According to our
notion, the number of conventions to be
he'd is not of as much Importance as
what the conventions will do when they
are held. It is necessary this year that
our conventions be shaped by the people
instead of the politicians, and that there
be no straddling Ill the formation of the
platform. but plain, honest and unmiss
taxable statement of the posi- zion of the
party upon the different issues. AS long
as the question has been raised, however,
THE News declares in favor of one con-
vention. There is no good reason for
calling the people to Atlanta twice to
transact the business of the party.

The solid, substantial and through
repairs that are being made on the
o. c. & E. seem to be a very good
indication that something in the
way of extension is contemplated.
The bridges and roadbed are being
put in the best possible shape,
thousands ofties are being replaced,
and the physical condition of the
road is the best it has been since it
was first built, if not the best it has
ever been. All this has been done
at an immense outlay of money,
AMI at an outlay that the present
traffic of the road would never
justify. The plausible theory then
is that the owners contemplate
something more than the local
traffic, and that it must be the
extension into Eastern Oregon so
long looked for and so ardently
hoped for. Mr.. Hammond is a
man of very few words, and he is
actually doing today what a great
many capitalists before him have
tried to do and failed-he is actually
building railroad into Astoria.
Everything indicates that before the
first of 1897 that the Astoria &
Goble road will be completed and
cars running into Astoria. After
that giant project has been termin-
ated by a successful completion we
verify believe that Mr.. Hammond
will Immediately turn his attention
to the extension of the o. c. & E.

that OF the Astoria & Goble road
