ABOUT THE BURRO.

For more than three centuries the
patient little burro has been an in
habitant of the new world. He is of
Egyptian descent, and 1t may be that
he helped to build the pyramids; but
it is to Spain that we are indebted for
his coming. Soon after Cortez con-
quered the Aztec land, we hear of the
burro in America. He is found chief
ly in Mexico and the southwestern
states, especially in the mining dis
tricts, where he may be seen carrying
great loads of ore. He is opposed to
the use of machinery. Miners call
a bunch Of laden burros a pack train.
He Is very sure-foOted little animal,
and prospectors use him when they
go forth into the mountains to eX-
plore. Mexicans find him very USE
full in carrying.
He is so gentle that children may
ride upon his back in threes and
fours. He appears to have no resent
ment, and will take a kick or a cuff
with the patience of Job. There is no
doubt but that he is terribly imposed
upon, and people call him a degener-
ate; yet no member of the animal
kingdom works harder than he, and
it is generally conceded that he has
aided largely in the development and
building of mines and railroads.

UNITE CITY AND COUNTRY.

WILL CAUSE LABOR WAR.

The San Francisco Argonaut one
of the sensible and conservative po-
litical reviews of the Pacific coast
views with alarm the prospect of the
repeal of the Chinese exclusion act by
eastern influences in congress
While the Argonaut looks at the
Chinese question through the eyes of
a Californian, yet there is such a
striking truthfulness in its conclusions
that all must agree, partially, with its
statements,
The danger of a labor war is per-
haps not immediate. If left to solve
the problem without the aggravating
presence of foreigners. American ciu-
zens would perhaps reach a peaceful
solution, but with the country filled
with Asiatics, who supplant American
workingmen who must support large
families from their labor the ques-
ton becomes complicated and intensi-
fled and the Argonauts statements
strike home with peculiar directness.
We believe that such is the greed
of the commercial classes in the east
that they will force our national leg
islators to nullify, if not to repeal
the acts protecting US from an Asiatic
invasion, says the Argonaut,
We greatly fear and almost believe
that it is impossible to check this con
spiracy against our American nation
ality and our Anglo-Saxon civiliza
ton.
If this conspiracy is successful, anC
the flood of Asiatic immigration
again begins, we believe it will resul
eventually in an uprising Of the whit
laboring men.
The importation of African slave
led to our Civil war Of lS6l-65-th
most bloody and awful conflict o
modern times.
The importation of Asiatic coolies
If resumed, will lead to an industria
war, war of classes, eventually to
civil war. Such war or wars wi
mean the downfall of the republic.

THE GOLD HUNTERS.

Aye, wealth they missed-they failed
they go;
The streams are silent where they
sped;
Their songs die down, their fires burn
low,
Their lodges stand untenanted.
But still in memory's ghostly glass
Weird picture rise through mist and
storm
The spicy camp, the dark spruce
pass,
The roaring fire and cabin warm.
Still when the night has reached its
tide,
Beyond the city's glare and din
Again that far white trail l glide
In squirrel coat and moccasin.
l feel the lur of lands remote,
on distant wing my spirits lift;
Der CLASSY lakes l fare and float,
Through forests vast and dim
drift.
Far from the city's cant and care
The petty park, the shaven lawn
From peaks that half the world up
bear
I meet the red on-rushing dawn.

THE PEOPLE OR THE RINGS?

Since the announcement that Judge
Stephen A. Lowell of this city, would
be a candidate for the office of
United States senator at the coming
primary election, the Portland rings
have begun to boost the ring candi
dates-Cake and Bourne-for this Of
flee. -s
In this contest for the senatorship,
the people are opposed to the old
political ring of Portland, which has
dominated the state since it was first
admitted to the union. PORTLAND
WILL ELECT ANYBODY TO BEAT
THE COMMON PEOPLE AND
EASTERN OREGON.
Judge Lowell is a man of the peo-
pie, without a fortune to spend in the
campaign, but with a capability and
honesty of purpose which towers
above the ring candidates like Mt.
Hood above Pilot Rock. He will
make a campaign on his personal
merit. He is known over the state as
fearless, honest, capable, clean man,
and the common people should re-
member this when voting for can
| didate for the United States senate.
Portland has dominated eastern
Oregon long enough. To the winds

GOLDEN NUGGETS FROM THE
ARGONAUT.

The Chinese minister at Washing
ton tells this dog story: There was Il
Chinese who had three dogs. When
he came home one evening he found
them asleep on his couch of teak
wood and marble. He whipped them
and drove them forth. The next
night when he came the dogs were
lyingCJon the floor. But he placed
his hand on the couch and found It
warm from their bodies. Therefore
he gave them another whipping. The
third night, returning earlier than
usual, he found the dogs sitting before
the couch blowing on it to cool it.
Kubelik. the noted violinist, was
once playing by request before the in
mates of an insane asylum, the su-
perintendent of which believed that
music was a fine medicine for unbal-
anced minds. He played brilliant
Slav composition, thinking that was
surely of the cheerful character want
ed. AS he finished, a very pretty
young woman arose and beckoned to
him. He thought, artist like, that
she wanted an encore, and so said to
the doctor: ASK her what she de-
sires?" He rose to his feet and was
about to question her, when she ex-
claimed: "To think of the likes of me
being in here and he at large in the
world.'
This story was told in the senate
cloak room apropos of the speech Of
Senator Patterson, supposed to be a
democrat, in which he eulogized all Of
President Roosevelt's policies: A
local census enumerator visited the
senator's home in Denver, and was
received by the negro butler. After
the usual questiones, he asked:
what is the senator's politics?" "Fo'
de Lawds sake, mister, l dunno"
answered the darkey; "de senator
aint done been home since breakfast
time. e."-The Argonaut.

Not True SAN Franciscans.

Making allowances for the necessarily
seedy appearance of the refugees 1t is
true that they came a long ways from
being representative people of San Fran

Afterwards the newspaper men agreed that

refugees carried with great care man
dolins, guitars, violins, 'ceIlos and other
instruments, They had been earning their
living producing music and constituted no
very stable or deeply rooted part OF the
population. Others were tailors, carpenters
laborers, teamsters, clerks and of similar
sorts. Numbers spoken to remarked that

The kindness bestowed upon the refugees
was not strange from the jewellers in a
city that within a few days raised SIS 900

the other stood men and women who had
lost every material thing they had in the
world. many without so much as dime
in their pockets, and most OF them in
clothing they had worn for week with
out opportunity for change or bathing.
The shoulders of the refugees dropped, but
their spirits were not sullen or rebellious.
Some were proud and needed urging to
make them partake of the bounty. Others
looked upon It as a matter of fact, but all
were equally expressive Of thanks and good
will.

when the two embraced needless of the
gaping crowds.
There were comparatively few children.
This fact again bore out the conclusion
that Il was not the dyed-in-the-wool resi-
dent San Franciscans who left the city
so hurriedly. Most OF the children aboard
the trains were babies in arms, usually the
first and only child OF the parents.
There was a phase to the situation, too,
that had pnthos in the fact that many
Omaha people were at the trains to inquire
about relatives who lived in the stricken
city and who had not been heard from.
These searched among the refugees looking
for familiar faces and asking many ques-
tions. They were not able to learn much
more than they have from the newspapers.
Many instances OF direct personal charity
were witnessed. Several women serving
in the lunch tents gave their hats and
other bits of attire to refugees OF their
sex who needed them worse than the origi-
nal owners did. A we'll known society girl
tied an expensive veil under the chin Of an
ancient, dirty and formidable-looling old
dame. Children had more milk than they
could drink in several days The local
women tried to find out from their sisters
what they most needed and perform the
service.

Tobacco for the Men.

Richard Harding Davis has feelingiy de-
scribed the highly benefcent effects OF to-
bacco upon men weary and hard-pressed
and the male refugees fairly wept with de-
light when Robert Cowell, Market Master
Gerke and others passed among them dis
tributing pipes, smoking and chewing to-
bacco. These were boons to be craved for
and immensely enjoyed on the dreary rides.

not help but talk about II with feeling
when everyone else on the train rode free.
His wife was mute. but sympathetic.
All OF the refugees were willing to talk
yards-but so far as could be ascertained
none was able to contribute much new to
the general story, which all agreed could
not be described in its utter confusion and
terror. Most OF them were emphatic in
declaring the military authorities during
the fires had been rash and wanton TO an
unnatural degree. All had dreadful tales
TO tell OF shootings and the Incidents that
came close to plain murders. Yet they
agreed that stern measures were necessary.
