w Iw gmljj ilstotfim. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY . .UAltCH 13, 1SS3 New York, not Germany, has the German daily newspaper having the largest circulation in the world. The mirage, once such a frequent spectacle in western Kansas, is rap idly disappearing as the country set tles np. Ik Canada the people who advocate the union of Canada with the "United States are beginning to be called cop perheads. The Topeka, Kansas, Capital of the 29th ult, thinks "a dozen men with energy, courage and sense and a little money can take a railroad cross ing and build a city, if the company has a good advertiser." ..I. i i The transit of wheat from Portland to Tacoma continues. "Whenever Port land will send the wheat to Astoria to be loaded, a way will be found to get the vessels in and out, to and from As toria seawardas cheaply as they can be brought in and out, to and from the Sound ports. Portland still has a choice. It is a singular commentary on a good many things that a newspaper, 33 years old should cease to exist, but that's what happened to the Oregon Sentinel, published at Jacksonville, last week. A newspaper in existence for a third of a century, tinder proper management should bo so strong that no ordinary cause could interfere with its regular publication. Sherman's bond bill has been favor ably reported upon. The proposition is to utilize 80 per cent of the legal tenders now held for the redemption of national bank notes of failed banks or banks whose circulation has been for any cause retired, but has not been sent in for redemption. It is found that these notes come in very slow. In the meantime about 3100,000,000 in legal tenders has been locked up for their redemption. It is just as well to replace at least 80 per cent, of theso legal tenders with government bonds, thus releasing that amount of money to the channels of circulation and stopping the interest on the bonds purchased by covering tho interest on tho same into the treasury. Tite city assessment for'88 will soon be in order. How would it do to as sess the city property a little higher, and put tup tax levy a little lower? It's as broad as it's long, but looks and sounds better. An 8-mill tax on $2,250,000 will bring in as much a 12 mill tax on $1,500,000, and will not give outsiders and possiblo investors an idea that we are taxed to death. According to the clover dodge of every county beating the state (?), it, of course, wouldn't do to do tho county assessing on an increased valuation, but it certainly seems to be in the lino of business and plain common sense to assess tho city property for city taxes at a valuo a little nearer the owner's price and correspondingly reduce the rate per $100. Tnouan considerably past 70 years old, prince Bismarck still works as hard as he did when he wsis twenty years younger. He never goes to bed until 2 o'clock in tho morning and eats a hearty supper shortly before mid night He rarely rises much before noon, as he has always been a heavy sleeper and is often disturbed during the night by the arrival of dispatches which require instant attention. The chancellor is becoming a rich man. The salaries from his office are by no means extravagant, but added to tho revenues of his estates and the profits of his sawmills and distilleries, they bring his income to between $100,000 and $150,000 a year. And, as the prince is notoriously economical, a very large proportion of this comfor table income is annually saved. Free-traders say that tariff duties are taxes on the consumer?. If we had no tariff our imports would very largely exceed our exports. We wonld have to meet this excess by money, and it would be a heavier tax on the country than the duties under a protective tariff. During the reve nue reform tariff period from 1846 to 18G1, although we were producing im mense quantities of gold from the Cal ifornia mines we had to send it abroad by every outgoing steamer to pay our debts for imports because we could not export enough to pay for what we imported. On the other hand, if we buy only articles of domestic manu facture and production the money we pay for them remains here to add to our prosperity by keeping the wheels of industry in motion. What we pay for foreign goods is the real tax, not the duty on them.

Senator Farwell of Illinois, has an income of $700 a d ay. It is not many years since he was working in Chica go for $8 a month. It ia said of William Steinway, the new member of the national Demo cratic committee, that he is "grand, upright and square.' Congress has four members who part their hair in the middle. Two, Belmont and Bayner, are Democrats, and two, Phelps and Long, are Re publicans. Governor John B. Gordon of Geer gia is reported to be in a condition of financial collapse, some enterprises in which he was engaged having proved disastrous failures. Mr. Corcoran spent fifty-six con secutive summers at his cottage at the White sulphur springs, where his coming was said to mark the opening and his going the endiDg of the rea son. Governor Hill of New York neither smokes tobacco nor drinks anti-pro- hibition liquors. Me breakfa3ts reg ularly at 6U a. m. and shares his bachelor meal with two dogs and a cat. The reigning prince of Monaco who 13 now seventy, is blind. He live3 principally at his Chateau of Le Mar chais and he is rigidly careful in his expenditure although his fortune is $900,000 a year. Judge McCue, the newly appointed assistant treasurer, is said to bo the richest man ever in that place. His fortune, it is said, came from liberal investments in Brooklyn surfaco rail road stocks. Ihe queen of the Belgians excels in the art of producing bowls of fish from handkerchiofs and causing coins, watches and other articles to vanish into air. In other words she is a practiced adept at conjuring. According to a writer in the New York Sun here is a now sort of act ress. She received a bouquet of roBes accompanied with a very costly piece of jewelry. She replied, thanking for the roses, and begging leave to re turn the "thorns'' (the jewels), which she returned. Senator John G. Harris of Tenne see deserves tho title of champion old-timer. He was elected to con gress in 1819 and before the war was twico governor of his state. He has been in the senate since 1877, and is now chiefly noted for the zeal with which he attends to the office-seeking instincts of his constituents. Brace Up.
