!"WWJffJ1i'4J,p' sfwsprTg! "&. m t u gaHg gtftomn. ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDVY. ..MAY 12, 1837 MIXED DRINKS. The Commercial Bulletin, a keen political observer in ew York, says: "The Henry George party have resolved on" calling a etate -convention with the view of entering the next campaign in this state, as an independent organiza tion, haviug neither Democratic nor Republican affiliations. They have the conviction -that they still hold not only the nearly. 70,000 votes rjcast Tor Mr. George in the last . mayoralty contest "here, but that their -numerical strength is relatively great throughout the state They expect to put in the field a ticket of their own and elect it by what the late Horace4 Greely called spontaneous combus tion. In the Standard this week George says, regarding the .old parties: There is no pretense to principle on either side. The con test between them is simply in name -in -which men unblushingly resort to tricks which would, if tried-in a game of poker, banish those guilty of them from even the worst gambling dens. The truth is, since, they: are no longer di vided "on any living question, the people have practically abandoned public affairs to the professional politicians, whoso only quarrel is as to-the respective share that each set shall- have. Plunder of the public is the only thing that hold the machinery together. The time is come then when a new party, havingideas and a fixed purpose, ia an'"absoluto necessity. All things.point to the need for such a party, and the issues are here.'' "I asked a Tammany sachem this" Jnprnjng, an old Democratic fox, yfh'at he thought of this. His reply'wasi- 'Theie's nothing in it. Thefe" is but one labor party in this country, and that is the D -m-ocratic partv. George's move ments but the little, temporary diveJaionjuf a side show that will have its little day, elect a few men to office and then die out. I do not behevel if.. .Georie;. was up for mayor to-day he would hold 30,000 votes.' " A Republican boss at the- Union League Club pooh-poohed the George movement as a permanent factor, in local or state' politics. "There Is'but little room," he said "fora third party in this country under ordinary circumstances. The experiment has beeu tried time and again. After enjoying a brief success it collapsed or lost its influence". At the coming elec tion I doubt if they will be heard of as a commanding factor in poll tics.- There is another new party forming-in -the background. It is not holding auy public meetings, passing any resolutions, .but la do ing some mighty fine work in a very quiet way. It will be heard from, in due time. It may not be designated to a long life, but when it begins to speak out and aer, I guess Democrats, Republicans and Labor men will have listed.3 He pulled from his pocket a paper contiiing a leading article, headed A change of Sentiment Coming.' It asserts that the American move ment is gathering strength with surprising rapidity in favor of re stricting foreign immigration in other words, to establish a guar antee against the mental, moral and social diseases of foreign coun tries in order to rid ourselves of anarchists, socialist's, paupers, men dicants and lunatics. His pocket was stuffed with extracts from oth er journals to the same purports. 'You may call it a know-nQthing movement, or anything else you likje, he.-Tvent on, but as a Repub lican I"am in favor of- incorporating these ideas in our next state plat form. The members of the state committee are in favor of it to a man. The Democrats may do as they choose about it. If they do not adopt a like policy in defer ence ttf.the rising pub'ic opinion in its favor, they will be " worse beater than they, were under the oldv-American party.' ' Tltafe curioui. dirergent tiew of men who have something to do with molding political -public opinion here are of value as fore shadowing the somewhat chaotic condition of things ahead, the out come of which it is extremely haz ardous to predict. Last Tuesday secretary of the treasury Fairohild addressed a letter to Capt. Healey, command ing the revenue steamer Bear at San Francisco, which will soon sail for Alaska, clothing him with full power to enforce the law which prohibits the killing of any otter, mink, marten, sable or fur seal, or other fur bearing animal within the limits of Alaska terri tory, or in the waters thereof, ex cept under the law and depart ment regulations. Capt. Healey's attention is called to section 1,961, revised statutes, which forbids the killing anywhere of female seals and seals less than one year old, and he is instructed to use the force at his command to the end that no persons attached to or con-i nected with any vessel of the United States violate this law, and also enforce the penalties provided for such violation. He is also en joiued to be diligent in enforcing the law against the importation of intoxicating liquors and breech loading rifles and ammunition to the territory of Alaska, as pro vided by the executive order of May 4. These orders are almost identical with those issued on the same subject last year. No refer ence is made to the alleged en croachment on our fishery rights by foreign nations. That question still forms a subject of negotia tions between this country and Great Britain, and the policy of this government with regard to it naturally- remains unsettled. Dr. Aurard, of Paris, has in vented a human incubator, de signed for rearing children pre maturely born. It consists of a wooden box, divided into two compartments, an upper and a lower, with free communication between them. The child is placed in the upper compartment, the lower being occupied by hot bottles, which radiate heat to a carefully regulated extent, and so raise the temperature to a neces sary degree of warmth. In the rood old way a good soft blanket and one bottle sufficed, but the world is progressing rapidly. Now a baby requires several, it seems. " wm 9 .-- Speaking of the negroes in the south, Henry W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, said to a reperter: "Many of them do not vote. They are disfranchised on account of not paying up their trxes. If they fail to pay two years they give it up alto gether. A great many whites do the same thing. There will never be competition between the ne gro laborers and the whites of the north. They do not follow me chanical pursuits. All the old slavo darkies follow agriculture and the others Breach and teach school." In Minneapolis, Minn., it is against the law for steam engines to be run on tho streets. To do the switching work there, two en gines run by soda arc being man ufactured. The boiler will con tain five tons of soda, which, when dampened by steam gives an in tense; heat. The heat continues for about "five hours, when the soda must be removed and dried. It is then ready for use again. En gines of this kind have been used in Europe, but these are the first in this country. NEW TO-DAY. Proposals Wanted.
