There is no part of this big country where

hard that it lies down breathless and ex
hausted from the chase, as here on this
coat. and there i no place, so far rr rny ob
servation goes, vhcr. labor pets m poor a
chance to capture the afore-aid dollar. It
might be supposed that where money mak
ers, are so abundant and the rate of interest
so high, labor would get some proportion
i ate share of it. I5ut the very revcrs-2 is
true.
Despite poorly constructed and suppos

against pauper and contract labor, "John"

rWc, Charley

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.

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."

SENSATION IN COTJBT.
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.

THE CAPTAIN'S ST0EY.
Scenes at tho Burning ot the Mississippi
River Steamer Blerne.
Vicksburg, Miss., Oct. 30. 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. She was
wealthy, resided in St. Louis and was 32
years old.

Mexico and the World's Fair.
City of Mexico, Oct. 30. It is given
out on the authority of President Diaz that
the f 50,000 grant for the "World's Columbian
Exposition by Congress is only for prepar
atory expenses, and that another appro
priation later on will be made for expenses
in Chicago, while the different States will
make liberal concessions for their separate
exhibits and a national display will be
made beside. Mexico will outdo herself
and make a finer exhibit than ever before.
President Diaz himself is talcing special in

Baker, "World's Fair Commissioner, has
gone toGuanajuanto.
KOCH'S DISCOVERY.
The tubercle bacilli was discovered by
Prof. Koch, to be constantly present in
all case.s of consumption. 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. If it doesn't bene
fit or t:ure, your money is refunded.

Slx Tears Have Elapsed
and No Return.
A lady enstomer of ours (Miss Fanny Atwood ot
Caroline depot. N. Y.) has been cured of a stub
born case of skin disease by the use of CtmcuBA
Remedies. She remarked that her case had baf
fled the skill of many weli-known physicians. They
unanimously pronounced it Eczema, with Rheuma
tism lurking fn the blood. Some predicted that any
treatment strong enonrn to cure the Eczema would
surely increase the Rheumatism, hue used two
sets of the Cdticuka Remedies. The effect was
marvelous. Her case or Eczema was not only com
pletely cured, but her Rheumatism was greatly re
lieTed during the treatment. Six years have
elapsed since the enre was performed, her Rheu
matism has since never Increased by the treatment
Dut rather diminished, and she sees no symptoms
of the return of the Eczema which once so com
pletely took possession of her face and bodv. Miss
Atwood delights in telling of the good effects that
the Cuticdba treatment had upon her. and recom
mends unsolicited the Cutici'ba Remedies for
Eczema and all kindred ailments. Yourprepara

West End Record. Hear what he says of the
Catarrh and Dyspepsia Institute, its physi
cians and mode of treatment. "I think I had
la grippe last winter, although my catarrhal
ti onbles dated back to about two years ago.
My head had a stuffed-up feeling in the
morning, my right ear often pained me, had
pain in my siues, couijj. not sicep wen ana
lelt tued and languid. The toutrli mucus
that diopped into my throat was difficult to
raise. Myappetito failed, had belching of
gas after eating, and my stomach was so
weak I had to be careful of my diet Tho
diseaso finally reached my lungs so that I
often felt soieness in my chest. 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
