Nearly every paper that -we open has an article, wise anil otherwise, on this topic how to advertise. Boiled down, all the articles amount to lhi3: "Let everyone know what yon have to sell." American business men, that is, business men living and doing busi ness in the United States, are good advertisers: they don't always get their money's worth. A good deal of money is fooled away in not considering how to get the money's worth in advertising. There is one thing the business man sometimes forgets the circula tion. An advertisement is of value to the advertiser in exact ratio to the number of people that read it and the probability that the readers will or can buy the goods. Printing a man's name or occupa tion on sundry pieces of paper and piling the paper thus printed on back shelves is not advertising, though some people seem to think it is. Advertising requires judgment, the exercise of common sense, just as the purchaso of anything else docs. There came under tho writer's ob servation two examples of advertising last Saturday. Ono wa3 a 73-line reading notice in BradstreeVs, of the 16th inst., about Portland; it cost, probably, a dollar a line; it will, tin questionably, be read by 300,000 peo pie, who will, each one, receive a fa vorable idea of Portland from that notice, of cash valno to the extent of at least $100,000. Tho notice dealt in exact facts. The same day appeared on a sheet of paper sundry flattering statements regarding some Astoria business men. Each man who paid for the notice, re ceived soino copies. And that was all. Nobody elso saw it, or will see ir. It was "strictly confidential." It can't go through tho mail at newspaper rates, it has no subscribers, it gives no news: it is 'simply a "fake," and those who paid for what they didn't get, might as well have gone down to Flavel's dock and chucked their five dollar piece into tho water. Of conrso a man has a right to spend his monoy that way, if he wants te: but it isn't advertising. The 73 lino notice in liradstreet's represents advertising, returning a thousand feld: tho type set and printed on a few fly sheets in Astoria last Saturday represents a good waolc'a work for two young men trlio have tho money, whilo the papers they distributed, by reason of the objec tionable chemical composition of printers ink 13 01 less utility or value than tissue paper. Ono was advertising; tho other wasn't Tnn situation in Ehode Island gives point to tho criticism mado by some acute students of onr political system that the people "of our states tend to overload the constitutions thereof with matter which is of a special and particular or temporary rather than of a general or permanent nature. The introduction of a pro hibitory provision into a stato con stitution is, in the present state of opinion and information, open to the like objection. Tho question as to tho expediency of snch a provision is at least debatable. The prohibitory system is not a general feature of the legislation of tho states. "Where in troduced it has been and still is in the nature of an experiment. Now a constitution tho organic, fundamen tal law of a commonwealth should not be made the repository of deba table or experimental or temporary legislation. It should bo reserved for provisions of a general and perman ent nature, and which have secured the unquestioning acquiescence of tho people after trial" by the test of time and experience In this way only can the reverence for constitutions as re presenting something nioro than tem porary emanations of the will of temporary majorities bo preserved. It is thirteen ycara sinco there have been any alterations in tho United States flag. Tho admission of Colorado in 157G increased the num ber of stars to thirty-eight. Tho ad dition of four stars for tho new statos will not interfere with the symmetry of the flag. Had the original inten tention of congress (by adding a star and stripo for every now state) been carried out, our flag would now be a curious combination. The Madrid physician who made the post-mortem examination of the body of Pigott declares that he never saw such a well formed skull and brain, tho latter indicating a man of superior force of character and im agination. It needed a man of just such endowments to beat tho London Times, after which there was no further uso for him. Russia last year appropriated $45, 000 for the education of Russian chil dren in Alaska, thus shaming the niggardly appropriation of the United States for education in that territory. The Marquis of Lome, who ran Canada awhile, is going as governor of Ceylen: he gets S10.000 a year and board. Mrs. L. goes with him. - An Iowa manufacturing firm sent Mrs. Harrison a crimson satin bustle. She promptly sat down on it, as she should on nil advertising schemes. SALE OF VESSELS ON THE SOUND. Pom Townsesd, March 23. The Tacoma Steamboat and Navigation company has sold the splendid steam tug Mogul to the Mogul Steam Tug company of this city for S20.000. Tho Mogul was built in Tacoma three years ago for General J. W. Sprague and others of the city, and the son of the managing owner, C. W. Sprague, an experienced and skillful steamboat man, who had plied the Columbia river waters for several years previous, was placed in command. The Mogul has made money for the owners notwithstanding me iact mat the opposition tugs owned by the lumber mill comnanies formed a combination to successfully Dar me Mogul irom competition. Captain Sprague, although a new comer on the Sound, contended with the party and made it nrofltable for the owners. The purchasing company recently incorporated and the follow ing officers have been chesen: Presi dent, J. E". Stetson, manager, James Griffiths and secretary Eev. J. B. Alexander, British vice consnl. The former officers are of the shipping firm of Griffiths, Meyers & Stetson, of this city. The Mogul isGl.CO net tons bnrden and Captain George H. White, a veteran Paget sound navigator, will continue to predominate in the wheel house. The"tngha3 been laid up at Tacoma for several months undergo ing a thorough overhauling. Sadie E. lienton is the name of n new steamer that was recently launched at Port Blakely and is now in Seattle receiving her machinery. She will be out for active service in another month. Her net tonuaso will be about sixty tons and her size will be between the tug Rainier and Moaul. Her owners, tho Port Blakely Mill company, will uso her in towing the company's vessels and as an auxiliary tug. The tug Blakely, now used by the company, is hardly adapted for towing vessels up and down ttio Sound. Uaptam uoDson, now on the ferry steamer Michigan, E lying between Seattle and Port llakely, will take command of the tsaaie u. lienton. The steamer Edison, of Port Will iams, has been sold by Jame3 It. Mathows. of Samish, to William Gill- more, for S900. Tho Edison is a little over twelve net tons, and was built last year. The schooner Lottie, twenty-nine not tons, of Port Townsend has been purchased by Uuistaqua i'eter son, of Neah Bay, from James Clop anbove. Tho Lottie has been used for sealing principally by tho Indians, and was bought for 5b00. James Jones, of Port Townsend, has sold the schooner Granger, 49.02 net tonnage, to W. L. Church, of Bungeness. for Sl,2o0. The Uranger was Frank Clapp's favorito vessel while he was in the business at Dun- geness. where he made his fortune, with which he opened his bank in the city, tuo scnooner was very suc cessful in catching seals, and was like everything elso Frank Clapp owned it turned the golden eagles into his vaults. She was built in Seattle in 1874. O. W. Caller has purchased the schooner Uhaltenge from the ioug lass Fur company for 84,000. She is 26.16 net tons and is a well known sealing vessel. The American ship Mercury, 1,098 tons, Uaptam red li). Magne. has finished shipping a crow and cleared for Valparaiso, loaded with 805,093 feet of rough lumber, valued at 550, 9G6.01; 100,416 feot of dressed lumber, valned at 31,807.48; 200 cases of salmon, valued at SG00. W. H. DeWolf, who succeeded Captain Charles Davis, now of the steamer Wildwood of this port, as pilot of the steamer Premier, has temporarily taken command of the latter vessel whilo the captain. John A. O'Brien, goes to tho springs for a few days rest. D. Brown has been appointed mas ter or the steamer a ma Anaerson 01 Utsalady, in lieu ot E. Baugherman Peter Brumm is master ot the steamer Augusta, Corr. Tacoma Ledger. Paper Clothing, Tho latest novelty in the way of gar ments is naner clothlnc that Is. cloth ing made of paper. The process was discovered not much, If any, over a year ago, and Is controlled by a company in Michigan which manufactures tho goods. Tho value of the paper as a retainer 01 warmtn lias always been recognized by hunters, prospectors and and other peoplo who are given to "roughing it." On cold nights these people will cover tliemsehes oer with old newspapers, which they find a great protection against the cold. This is perhaps what suggested to a genius tho idea of paper clothing. Tho goods are of a very tough sort of paper, resem bling buckskin in appearance. The garments are chiefly in tho form of vests, designed to be worn between the undercIothiuET and linen of eentlemen. Then there are corset covers for ladies. Bed clothinc is also manufactured from tho paper. This is in tho form of sneets. to ue useu 111 connection wiui other bed clothing. Since basins, water pails .and even car wheels are also made of paper, there seems to be no limit to the possibilities of paper manufacture. Some day they will ho building brick uusuifas uiucks out ui paper. Epoclt. The transition from long, lingering and painful sickness to robust health marks an epoch in the life of the indi vidual. Such a remarkablo event is treasured in the memory and the agency whereby the good health has been at tained Is gratefullv blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard in praise of Elec tric Bitters. So many feel thoy owe their restoration to health to the use of the Great Alterative and Tonic. If you are troubled with any disease of the Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of loner or snort sianaing you win surely nnd re lief by u-e of Electric Hitters.

A good many Astorians will be in terested in knowing how appoint ments to federal positions will be made. President Harrison will not give the matter his personal attention. He will refer nearly all appointments to the heads of the departments hav ing jurisdiction in each case. As to dismissals, or removals, when ever charges are mado against an in cumbent by a senator 'or representa tive in congress showing that said inoumbent is unfit to perform the duties of the office, or is offensive to the patrons of tho office, such charges will be considered sufficient cause for removal, and the removal will be made upon the responsibility of the member of congress. If an officer is shown to have used hi3 office for the promotion of the interests of a polit ical party, ne may D9 considered an offensive partisan and removed for mat cause. Begarding appointments the rule of the department will require the presentation of all papers, including petitions, letters of recommendation and so forth, and the member ot con gress may accompany these papers with a letter designating- the candi date whose appointment he would preier. The department will then act upon that recommendation after having examined the papers sub mitted. V To-Night.
