Eastern papers report that there are counterfeit dollars in circulation so fine ly executed as to almost defy detection. They are of a whitish color, dated 1884, andnave a fine clear and perfect ring, and tho size and thickness correspond with genuine standard dollars. Among other bills sent in to the Dem ocratic committee lately was one ad dressed to "John Hobson, Col. Democrat ic Artillery."

The proceedings of the third annnal meeting of the firemen's association of Oregon and state firemen's tournament held at Albany last August, have been received at this office. The next annual meeting will bo held in this city begin ning the second Wednesday of next June. The complaint brought in the circuit court by certain citizens of this city re garding school taxes and bonds was the subject of conversation yesterday. A leading attorney is of tho opinion that a counter suit for libel may be in order be fore long. We are all going through life for tho last time. Let us have peace. Last week tho leading exhibit in the agricultural department of The Astoeixn was a twentj'-two pound beet from John Matier's place on Clatsop. Yesterday the air was made fragrant by tho rich aroma of some strawberries, ripe and luscious, that were picked on tho 16th, on Joe Gib son's place, on Lewis and Clarke's If there is any one man in Oregon that deserves well at the hands of tho dispen sers of official patronage, it is Tony Nolt ner, of the Standard. He has ''whooped her up" for about a quarter of a century, and has been Democratic at all times and under all circumstances. When fa vors are passed around he deserves to be allowed to take his pick out of the lot. In November 1882, while off shore, out ward bound, the British ship Ncbo was struck by a squall and partially dismast ed. Tho Pioneer started to take her in to Astoria, but the captain concluded to make San Francisco and proceeded on his course. The Pioneer sued for salvage. The suit has been compromised by the owners of tho Nebo paying the owners of tho Pioneer $3500, each party paying its own legal costs. This doesn't leave much for the servioo of the tug. Everyone that has been around much, has, sometime in his life, met someone who had long beard or long hair, or both, and who"wasn't going to be shaved or havobis hair cut till Henry Clay was elected president." Of late years there have been some hero and there who neg lected their personal appearance in tho same way until the election of a Demo cratic president. Already comes news from various quarters of men whose mil lenium has at last arrived and who are now submitting their hair to the barber after years of patient waiting. Tcinplo JLodgc Zio. 7 A.

Democrats and Bepublicans alike show considerable interest in "tho matter of presidential appointments and though the offices in this state are very few, and those that aro to be filled not very remu nerative, still there is enough in them to mako the matter one of interest to a good many. Hero in Astoria there is the col lector of the port, an offico that is worth $3,000 a year: two deputies, an inspector, a postmaster, etc., all the Federal patron age being not worth over $12,000 a year. It is to bo hoped that whoover are ap pointed shall be Astorians, men that are our fellow citizens, and not importations, though it is not likely that such will be the case. One who is well posted on this matter of political appointments says: "Cleveland can unquestionably make just such changes as he wishes in the per sonnel of the civil service. In what are known as presidential appointments in other words, those that must be con- nrmed by the United States Senate; the commissions read as though they would hold good for a certain number of years; but tho fact is that as the law now stands, these commissions may be revoked at the president's pleasure. So long as the senate is in session, he cannot remove one man from office, without cause, until tho senate confirms tho successor. But between tho sessions of congress the pres ident may remove anv man and asnoint his successor, subject to subsequent con firmation by the 6enate. Should the lat ter body refuso to confirm, or take no action in me matter, m tne lirst case tho president would report a now candidate to them, and in the latter case, as soon as tho senate had adjourned ho would have to appoint another temporary in cumbent. In no ovunt, however, would the originally displaced man bo entitled to resume tho office. As to tho small fry, who aro directly appointed by tho chiefs of their branches of the service, tho ten ure of office depends nominally upon their good conduct and intelligent per formance of duty, but, as tho question of thoir efficiency and behavior is subject to tho judgment of tbeiftimmediate supe riors, you can readilv imagine that va cancies can be created as rapidly as need ed. Tho natural result must be that there will be an entire change in all tho departments of tho government. Almost all the principal offices, and a vast num ber of the smaller ones, will bo immedi ately filled by Democrats; but the exi gencies oi governmont will prevent anything like a total change during the first year of tho new administration, as in every branch of the service a certain number of skilled clerks must bo retain ed in order to keep the work running smooiuiy. uv uegrees these men can be replaced, and they will all bo replaced long before the closo of tho administra tion." Oregon occupies a unique position in regard to Federal appointments. It is customary for souio senator or represen tative who is of the same political faith as tho president to have a good deal to say about who should receive tho ap pointments in his state, but Oregon will navo no congressman to mako any such suggestions. uieTeianu win do inaugu rated the day after Senator Slater's term expires. Just at present it is not exact ly settled whether the next Oregon legis lature will elect Sol Hirsch or Henry railing 10 tne uniteu states senate, but it -will certainly be some Republican who with Senator DoIdU and Congressman Herrman will represent Oregon at Wash ington. Then again there are a good many New York and New Jersey men ana oiuers rrom eisowneae to be provid ed for. Theso two reasons, coupled with the fact that Orecon went 2.300 Beirab- lican and Clatsop county went 200 Be- puMican, are why we think that in the coming distribution of cakes and' ale, resident Democrats will be made to stand aside, though it is one of tho occa sions when we would be pleased to be mistaken. Ditmned at Uanthora's Dock. Louis Lckert, a German, aged 25, fell from a scow at Hanthorn's cannery at holf-past three yesterday morning and was drowned. He was employed by An drew Schnriug to unload wood, and had but lately come down from the Cceur d'Alene mines. He and his partner had been employed unloading wood for Han thorn at flood tide, after which Eckert lay down to rest. At half-past three ho was awakened to hold a ladder, while his comrade went up on tho dock for a lan tern. While looking for tho lantern a splash and a groan was heard, and noth ing more was seen of the unfortunate young man. A strong ebb tide was run ning, and the only hope of recovering tho body is that it may drift shore ward. Ho was a member of Castle Lodge No. C2, K. of P., of Bed Bluff. California. which was communicated with last evening. Real Estate Sale To-Day. To-day, at 11 a. at, some very eligible lots, in Upper Astoria, will bo sold by E. C. Holden at public auction. Each lot is 75 x 150 feet, and on the corner lot is a very desirable family residence, with con venient outhouses. Perhaps it is not a good time to sell valuable real estate at auction, but as this property is to be sold on account of the owner changing resi dence to another state, some one will have a chance to make a good bargain. Tho sale takes place on the ground, near the Anglo-American Packing Co.'scan nerv. what: o You Think thnt "JcfT" of The Chop House Gives you a meal for nothing, and a glass of something ro drink?

There is no more attractive period in Bhode Island history than when, in 1678 '79, tho prin ciple of individual sovereignty in town- meetings began to be carried out, and by pioneer methods startlingly similar to thoso used almost exactly two centuries later in the heart of Oregon. From Portsmouth and Newport to tho valley of the Willamette is a long jeurney: and yet, it is not withont reason that tho comparison has boon made, for in the life of tho early Bhodo Island settlements we can clearly discern tendencies equally manifest in the early life of .the Pacific Coast. When the Portsmouth settlers, in 1S40, adopted the principle of compul sory arbitration, they resorted to a plan familiar two hundred and ten years later to the miners of the free mining camps of central California and southern Ore gon. The town of Providence, Bhodo Island, had no nucleus of government. Equality and individuality prevailed; men lived together withont law, as they did in tho mining camp3 of T3t8. Con trol of affairs by tho voice of f raemen in town-meetings (whose typo is the ancient Folk-moot), then local officers elected, and representative governmont were tho natural step3 of progress in Oregon of tho nineteenth century as in Bhode Inland of tho seventeenth. One can hardly speak of Oregon with out somo allusion to the history of Mr. Barrows (second volume of Common wealth Series), whioh. although a re markable generalization of the great na tional issues involved in tho struggle for tho northwest, is in some respects disap pointing. It lacks just tho ono chapter upon the earliest attempts at political organization that every student of Amer ican institutions must desire. Tho fol lowing notes are not so much an attempt to supply that lack as to call attention to the fact that local government in Oregon antedated the famous "Wolf Meeting," of which Mr. Barrows makes brief men tion. In 1838, eleven years beforo Oregon was created a territory, and twenty-one years before sho was admitted into the Union, the few American settlers in tho beautiful Willamette valley began to or ganize. They numbered less than fifty men, but they elected a justice of the peace, and agreed to support his decis ions. In 1840 they petitioned congress for a territorial government. They then numbered about ono hundred persons. Tho next year tho settlers again met to draft a code of laws. They elected Dr Babcock, the missionary, as supreme judge. Several justices were elected, half American, half Canadian. Some of tho English settlers helped. The Hudson bay fur company was bitterly hostile. The settlers' movement did not dare to attempt to elect any legislative assembly, nor governor or executive officer. They called their organization a "temporary civil compact." All this took place be fore 1843, in which year, Mr. Barrows says that civil government began. In 1843, the settlers, still numbering about ono hundred, formed a debating olub, and discussed this questien: "Shall Oregon become a free and independent state, neither British nor American?" Tho same year they started a circulating library, and sent to Boston for three hundred volumes of history and litera ture no novels. But tho political feature of this year was the settlers' "Wolf Organization." They sent around notices and assembled to pass local laws to raise taxes, so that bounties might bo paid for destroying wolves, bears, and catamounts, then fall ing their cattle and sheep Americans called the meeting, but many Canadians attended. Tho only object of tho meet ing was as stated. 'Suddenly an Ameri can spoke np: "If we can protect our herds by common action, why can't we protect ourselves?" and ho offered a res olution which was immediately carried that a committee of twelve bo appointed to take into consideration the civil and military condition of the colony. The Canadians retired; the Americans went ahead. Tho "Wolf Committee" met in March and again May 2d, , at Willamette Falls, and their plan of government, when offered to the people was adopted by a voto of fifty-two to hf ty. The Amer icans had but two majority over the Ca nadians, all of whom voted. They then withdrew again, and the Americans chose a supreme judge, giving him probate Siwers, a sheriff and minor officers, ost important, they elected a legislative committee of nino men, three of them missionaries, and all Americans; and tho executive power was vested in a superior committee of three persons equal in power. Tho justices of tho peace, con stables, etc., were partly Canadians; the military officers, three captains and a major, were Americans. Jjy this time the number of settlers had greatly in creased; late in 1843 the rash began and by the close of 1844 tli6re were 3,000 Americans in Oregon. Immediately after the election of chief council nnd legislature, these bodies met to provide a code. It had been ordained by the people, acting in their original capacity, that the session should not ex coed six days. In point of fact only four days were taken; thoy fixed their own salaries at $1.25 per day, an interesting contrast to the first constitutional con vention of California, which, in 1849, fixed the salaries of its members at $23 per day. The Uregon settlers code of laws was adopted by the people in legislative com mittee of tho whole, in grand "Folk- moot," on tho 4th of July, 1843, after loud and long verbal discussions. There were ten districts made. The various articles related to liberty of conscience, civil rights, establishment of schools, protection of Indians, land laws, weights ana measures, no slavery, etc. The sov ereign people then appointed a commit tee to draw up a full report and send it to congress, urging a territorial erant. But it was five long years before the set tlement of the Uregon question enabled congress to come to the settlers' aid. Not till August, 1848, did tho bill pass, ana not tiu juarcn, lmy, were the nio- neors of Oregon relieved from the burden oi maintaining, singie-nanaea ana aione, their own civil and judicial government. In 1844 an Indian war broke out and troop3 were raised. That year, too, the people at an election called by the legis lature abolished tho council of three, choso a single executive, and made some changes in the codo and in tho minor offices of the quasi-territory. Tho treas urer's report for 1844 shows that the re ceipts of government were $358.31, while the expenditures were $342.S3 an exam ple of pioneer economy of which tho old Web-foot state may well be proud. They spend a little more than that on a west em government these days. C. H. Shinn in Overland Monthly for November. Piano Tuner. Professor D.

A smooth talking fellow, about 35 years of ago went intoHarri3 Emanuel's cloth ing store Sunday morning last, and i bought an overcoat and suit of clothes for &iZo, tending in payment a check numbered 18 on tho First National Bank of Portland, dated November 14tb, for fcoo. jlco cuecs was made payable to bearer and was signed "A. W. Berry.' Emanuel gave him $31.75 change nnd the man skipped off. The check was cashed by L W. Case yesterday, who on learning that it was a forgery, sent the check back to Emanuel who refunded the money. The signature is entirely unlike Mr. Berry's handwriting, and is a clumsy at tept at forgery. Telegrams wero sent to Portland and Kalama, and a dispatch was received from the latter point last evening, stating that a man had been ar rested there and asking for further de scription. So far Emanuel is out the value of the clothes, $34.75, and the cost of sundry telegrams. TfelJ, Did Toa ETer! A lot of smoked Sacramento river salmon has been received here. Talk about "carrying coals to Newcastle," or Seattle, after that It is claimed for the California salmon that they are not salt ed so much as those cured hero, and that the skin and "meat" do not separate, as is tho case in most Oregon smoked salm on, owing, it is said, to too much heat being used in tho smoking process. There may be soma excuse for importing nams anu iuru irom unicago, and fruit and vegetables from California, but by tho immortal John Bogers there can be no excuse nor necessity for importing California salmon he're.
