Seid is the biggest contractor on the coast, doing the Booth & Plinn act out here. If the Union or Southern or "Northern Pacific "Railroads want 1,000 track laborers or men to build snow fences or sheds or any kind of manual labor, Beck is their man, and delivers the goods cheaply and prompt ly. The Chinese contractor has no disposi tion to take a hand in politics, but is quoted as being a poet to this extent I could not be the Mayor, Xor the Governor, you see, So I plav for all the jobs. And that's job enough for me. louiiKuruci Beck is said to worth 5000,000 to a 51,000.- 000, winch, is invested in United btates bonds, bank stock of the United States "Na tional Bank in Portland, real estate in 'Frisco and Hong Kong, and labor "syndi cates" throughout China. His most efficient assistant in his vast business is Charley "Wing, who as bookkeeper and general bust, ler, is said to be a wonder to the -white men with whom he comes in contact The shiDninti merchants here, as micbt be expected, "play" for the Asiatic trade, and as a consequence they "study toplease" the Chinese and Japanese, at home and abroad, and commercial conditions so shape themselves that the heathen actually has the preference in the labor market." The shipping magnates talk boastindy of their vast trade with Melbourne, Callao, San Francisco, San Diego, Honolulu, Xew Caledonia, Montevideo, San Pedro, Valparaiso, Falmouth, Kio Janeiro, Adelaide, Shanghai; in fact, with all the continents on the globe, and in this international "deal" the white man on the coast is hardly a circumstance. These commercial kings expect to substitute flour for rice as food in" China, and as "wheat raised by white labor cannct compete with the cost of rice by Chines: labor, the Amer ican farmer will likely be ultimately lost in this commercial shjiffle. x And while idle hands, especially if they are white, find so little to do, and the streets in all the coast cities are thronged with armies of unemployed people to whom wages are not so much an object as work while all this is going on, manufac turing, which could profitably employ these idle hands, droops, the Asiatic continues to pull at the latch-string and come in, and the original coast millionaire of other days sits in his "back office." and continues to accu mulate and accumulate and accumulate. Here he is: 37(C Oaast Mtllvmaire. The Chinese question here assumes not onlv an economical and industrial, but a political aspect. The Republican party is friendly to John, and discourages any "sand "lot" agitation, or what they term "demagogism." On the other hand the Democratic party and tho average Irishman whom you meet, regardless of party, have no use for the "chape hathens." The coast people challenge you to deny that Chinese labor is cheap, and that labor is worth no more than it will bring; but some of these days perhaps before the cen tury is rounded out the commercial Princes of the coast may discover that mere "cheap" labor is not an enduring founda tion lor progressive or prosperous commun ities. But from whatever standpoint this Chinese problem is considered and I am not now dogmatizing about it it is odd enough to find the American sovereign, whom you read about in political platforms white labor skilled or unskilled moro or less at a discount on his "native heath." If labor Is "King"- anywhere, it certainly is not out here, where employment for white men is uncertain anu jirecarious, and em ployment for the Asiatic hordes is constant and profitable. In my next I shall outline, with such de tail as space permits, how a rich country may be "overdone" how cities are "boomed" up beyond their normal growth how much more preferable producers are than speculators as elements of common wealth building, and generally how the "Town Site" business has been literally "run into the ground."

The "Embezzling Ex-State Treasurer Faitef a Mote to a TVltness on the Stand. Little Rock, Oct 30. The" proceedings in the "VVbodruff trial were more interesting than usual to-day. Governor Eagle was place on the stand early in the morning, but the State only requested him to identify an important document filed in his office by the ex-Deputy State Treasurer. After he hod retired, the Attorney General requested that he be excused as a witness and be al lowed to assist the prosecution in obtaining facts relative to the case, which was denied. "W, B. Griffith, ex-Deputy State Treasurer, was placed on the stand and testified that it had been the custom to make a qnarterly statement to the Governor as to the condi tion of the treasury. At the end of the last quarter "of Woodruffs term, he neglected to prepare this statement, but did, so at the suggestion of Governor Eagle's Private Secretary several days after "Woodruffs term had expired. The document was pro duced in court and showed that it had been filed in the Governor's office four days after the inauguration of the present Treasurer. It was signed W. E. Woodruff, Treasurer, by W. E. Griffith, Deputy Treasurer. While he was giving his testimony Major Woodruff passed a note to him, which created some surprise and occasioned con siderable whispering among those who wit nessed the incident. Fortunately Mr. Griffith had the foresight to, hand the note to.the attorneys, who saw what was con tained in it. It had reference to a private business matter and in no way alluded to the case on trial. LINCOLN in Politics is the subject of Colonel A. K. McClure's letter to THE DIS PATCH to-morrow.

The res cued passengers and creiv of the ill-fated steamer Oliver Bierne reached this city last evening. Captain Thorwegen says the ring ing of the bells on the boat gave him the first intimation of the fire He immediately ran on deck, and, being prevented by the flames from going aft, devoted his attention to awakening the people in the forward part The flames spread so rapidly that the boat was nearly all ablaze in a few minutes. Captain Thorwegeil escancd by jumping from the roof to tho boiler deck and drop ping from there to the lower deck. When Mrs. 51. E. Waddell was nicked ud from the water near Duckport, La., she having not been seen until then, she was alive, but died soon after from exhaustion.

Wheie the blood is impoverished or impure there results that constitutional condition known as scrofula, which is character ized by the liability of certain tissues to become the seat of chronic inflam mations and enlargements. Vircliow says "their Vulnerability is excessive." Consequently, exciting causes which would have only passing effect upon a healthy subject, would- produce inflam mation and disease iu the scrofulous. These troubles may stai t as catarrh in the nasal passages, throat or lungs, and as the membranes become weakened, the tubercle bacilli enter, and multi ply, and we have, ai a result, that dread disease Consumption. Find a perfect remedy for scrofula, in all its forms something that purifies the blood, as well as claims to. That, if it's taken in time, will cure Con sumption. It has been found, in Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. As a strength-restorer, blood-cleanser, and flesh-builder, nothing like it is 'known to medical science. For Scrofula, Bron chial, Throat, and Lung affections, "Weak Lungs, severe Coughs, and kindred ail ments, it's the onlj remedy so sure that it can be guaranteed.

Not being able to find lclief and gradually getting worse, I became afraid I would run into consumption unless I soon obtained help." "Reading of so many cures made bv the physicians of the Catarrh and Dyspepsia In stitute, and that they were catairh special ists, I consulted them. They made no big promises, but referred me to others who had bceu cured of conditions worse than mlno. This gave me some hope, and, finding their terms reasonable and within my leach, I took a course of treatment and became cured." "I now feel well and strong as everv. I have since induced several of my friends to go to these specialists, for I feel very grate ful for what they have dono for me I shall always recommend these physicians ns woithy the name of specialists and shall bo glad to further descubc my case to anyone who may call at my home.
