m ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY JPLY 27. 1S88. There is a rumor in London that a woman is at the bottom 'of Parnoll's prosecution, and the Times bas ob tained from bar all its information. There is a belief that she forged the Parnell letter. WnBJT millions of grasshoppers ap peared near St Paul, Minn., threaten ing the total destruction of crops, a reward of a SI a bushel was offered for their arrest and detention. This is an instance where a glut in the market enhances the price. Tnc Czar of Russia is a great fish erman, and he has just bought in Fin land a tract of land with a river swarming with salmon. His imper ial wife is also a fair fly caster, and can manage a wicked fish with ease and grace. But the Czar never caught shad at Astoria. TnE San Francisco Examiner says wherever you find a man who is profiting by a trust that is skinning the people, you will find a man who is supporting Harrison and Morton. This is the first intimation we've had that senator standard oil Payne of Ohio, was supporting the Republican nominees. The thing needful to be understood is that this is a country in which a man is perfectly free to aid in making the law, perfectly free to obey it, per fectly free to depart to other coun tries, and perfectly certain to be pun ished if he choose to stay here and disobey the law. That is the lesson that needs learning just now. Congressman Beckinridge, Demo crat, speaking of the campaign just opening, says: "Each side realizes the fact that this is to be a fight of principle, not stinging declarations. If we are defeated it will mean that the mass of the people prefer high taxes. If we win it will mean tha tthe Mills' bill as a preliminary step to free trade is all right It is a victory or a "Waterloo for the Republicans; it it is a victory or a twenty years set back for us." Admitting for argument's sake that the sugar duty is protective, the people are taxed 60,000,000 a year upon a necessity in order to "protect" an industry whose total annual pro duct is $6,000,000. And it is not a new industry which promises a vast growth under the the tariff and great benefits in the future, but both it and the duty are old, and the product of the article is scarcely half what it was thirty years ago, although the con sumption of it has immensely in creased. The people could better afford to have sugar put upon the free list and give them as a gratuity, S6,000,000 a year to maintain the plant ers in splendid idleness. If wo accept the theory that unnecessary taxation is simple robbery, the people would save over 350.000,000 by this transaction and avoid the dangers of the surplus. Last Tuesday was "pardoning day" with Gov. Peunoyer, and he com muted the sentences of two peniten tiary prisoners. One of the cases is, let us hope, an unusual one. It was that of one John M. Culp, who was sentenced on December 14th, 1884, by tha circuit court for Douglas county to serve a sentence of twelve years for manslaughter. And now, when nearly four yejirs of the sen tence is served, the leading witness whose testimony sent Culp to prison, comas forward and makes affidavit that he "testified falsely." It cer taiuly seems that even the modified, lax style of "justice" that we adminis ter here should take cognizance of this matter and put this creature in 'his victim's place in the penitentiary for at least the same time that the un fortunate Culp had already served. Culp evidently was not cnlpable. Some years ago a musical enter tainment of some note was given iu the city of Raleigh, North Carolina. The Biblicnl Recorder, then bril liantly edited by brother John H. Mills, sharply criticised the perform ance. The musical director, we be lieve, undertook tho perilous task of replying to brother Mills in the Re corder, and, in the course of his re ply, said that the music was better than the editor could have produced. The editorial rejoinder was crushing: "Our correspondent's statement is true but irrelevant All the grocers in Raleigh could not together produce one egg; but there is not a grocer of them who is not a bettor judge of ggs than any hen iu Wake county." This has always struck ns as one of the keenest, neatest and most exhaus tive repartees that we ever read. ADVICE TO 3IOTIIKKS.

(SrECIAL TO TUB ASTOBIAK.) Stapleton, New Jersey, July 20. Joseph F. Stickney'a steam yacht Si is quehanna left this morning for Adams express Co's pier Jersey city, where president Cleveland and wife, were to board her, for a four days cruise as guests of Mr. Stickney. The trim yacht was covered with bunting from stem to stern, great se crecy was observed, about tho presi dent's plans. Tho employes of the White house are under special in structions to say nothing on the subject From other sources how ever it was learned that the president and postmaster-general would take a short yachting trip from New York, in company with a few friends who would join them at this city. Tho trip would last two or three days. The president said before leav- ing that he would be at the "WhiteH house again on Tuesday morning. Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs. Folsom were to leave the party at New York and continue on to Marion, Mass.. where they remain several days, probably as guests of Mr. Gilder, the editor of the venwry magazine. Secretary Whit ney intended to have accompanied the president but gave up the trip at the last moment. WAS IT SUICIDE? Chicago, July 2G, Robert Hender son, Silver City, Idaho, said to be a millionaire, was found this morning in a room at a little hotel called the Ogden House, unconscious and barely alive. The gas in the room had been blown ont instead of turned off. It was first thought that Hen derBon had climbed on a chair and extinguished the light in the primi tive way absent-mindedly or because he was (intoxicated. The fact how ever, that a man of so much wealth as Henderson was represented to possess, should put up at a compara tively inferior out-of-the-way place, created suspicion. Then it was stated that Henderson was himself the pro prietor of alarge well appointed hotel and would be extremely unlikely to unthinkingly blow out the gas. The ories or foul play and attempted sui cide are evolved. Henderson re mained in a comato?e state for hours, notwithstanding the efforts of tho physicians, and nothing could be learned from him. The doctors arc unable to say whether or not he would recover. THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTS'. Washington, July 26. President Cleveland, left this morning by rail for Now York; ho was accompanied by Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Folsom, and Col. Lamont. The Bustle Banished. "Tlie nso and fall of the bustle is far more interesting to women of the present day than any topic that can be discussed," said the head of tho dressmaking department of a large store in this city on Saturday. "My. now tne bustle did rise. It grew like a watermelon under a hot summer sun. Indeed it was beginning to be a question as to Which is tho bnst!e, And which w the girl? as lien. Knickerbocker used to siug in his topical song in the Littlo Ty coon. But the bird cage is doomed. It must go. Dolly Yardens went, Gainsborough hats wont, and so does everything of that sort. People are continually panting for something new. Tho bustle had its uses. It gave the thin girls an air of seeming stoutness, and it was used to make the dresses set well. It was a first rate affair to take the weight of heavy dresses off a womam's hips. But when the girls began to wear tho bustles half way up their backs peo ple began to get alarmed. It made the dear creatures appear like minia ture camels. And the wav the girls would shake themselves, oh, my! Why, they looked as if they would fall apart For years the bnstle has been growing smaller. The greatest proportions it ever reached was when it topped tho bushel basket. Now it is a very modest affair, and looks like a small sized rat-trap. By next fall it will be gone entirely. "jurs. uieveiand lini done one good thing for tho women of this country. With a wave of the hand she has wiped tho bustles off tho fashion plates. Indeed, it is really n blessing. Then it is so odd that the president's wifo shonld'take the matter in hand. But she has douo so. Bustlps are only good for masks to be used by the small boys at base ball matches now. "What is to take the place of the bustle? I will show you. It is sim ple effective and cheap. A sot of reeds are to bo sewed into tho back of tho skirt. They are of graduated sizes, and make the dress set well.

A German author Clotten was arrested for threatening to murder Gladstone. Clotten, when questioned by the police, said ho had sent the manuscript of a story to Mrs. Gladstone with a request that she read it When he asked for a retnrn of the copy he was told that it had been mislaid and could not be found. Ho then wrote a letter to Mr. Gladstone. Let Us Have A Little Fun. Fun? Why, of course, let us have all there is within reach. Life isas dry as dust to many people getting up early, working hard all day, earn ing just enough to show how little a fellow can comfortably Btarvo on and if they can once iu a while take the family to the circus, laugh in front of the monkeys' cage, shiver when the lion roars, get out of the old routine of drudgery and tumble about in a lot of new sensations as a boy rollicks over a stack of fresh hay, it will help to make tho humdrum en durable. The truth is we take things too seriously, aro to glum, down hearted, rheumatic and crotchety, nnd need to be stirred up and re freshed by a sail down the bay, a visit to the theater, a good look at a game of bapo ball, a picnic in the woods once in a while. Ne?i York Herald. Reducing the Surplus. The disposition ot the Surplus in the U. S. Treasury engages the attention of our Statesmen, but a more vital question has our attention, and that is tiie reduc tion of the Surplus Consumptives. Since the discovery and introduction of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, there has been a marked decrease in the mortality from this dreaded dis ease, and it is possible to still further re duce the number of Consumptives. How? l$y keeping constantly at hand a bottle of Dr. King's New Discovery, and using according to directions, upon the appearance of the first symptoms, such as a Couc;li.a Cold, a Sore Throat, a Chest or Side l'ain.
