G J U gaitjj gtorau. ASTOKIA. OREGON: Fit I DAY NOVEMBEIt 1. 1SS9. Tun four new stars are not under statute added to the Hag until Fourth ot July next. Seattle is about to make a move to reduce high insurance rates in that city. One good way is to organize a home mutual fire insurance company. A correspondent of the St Louis Globe-Democrat asserts that there is tin enough in Pennington and Custer counties, Col., to supply the world for centuries to come. He says he ob tained six pounds of tin from nine pounds of ore in a mine near Custer. About twenty-five million feet of logs and lumber have been recovered by the Williamsport lumbermen from the Susquehanna river, between Sun bury and their boom. Over two hun dred million feet were swept away by the June flood which swept away Johnstown. Tire greatest misfortuue of organ ized labor has heen, in a majority of instances, in the quality of its leader ship. It falls an easy prey to the demagogue, and is carried away by the selfish intriguer who makes most empty promises and advises to the rashest and extremest measures. Hundreds of men were seen at the Van "Wert, Ohio, fair sucking lemons bought on the ground, and they en joyed the fruit so much that an in vestigation was made. "When a tip was removed from the end good old rye oozed out Three lemons would lay a man out stiff as a mummy. "When a Chicago clergyman hung out his sign to the public some of his brothers were horrified at the innova tion, but when they discovered that that same sign brought him about three couples per day to be married they stroked their chins in a reflec tive way and declared that lio had a great head for business. Tars is the way an Arizona editor compliments a rival: "The red-nosed idiot who fathers the dirty little rag in this town calling itself a newspaper, is still engaged in making asinine re marks about us and the postoflice. Let the onery cuss go on with his abuse; we don't care. He reminds us of a fellow who would try to dye wool while it is on the lamb's back; and it isn't because he is a lamb-dyer either Oh, no; quite the other way." Senator Mitchelii holds there should be a financial policy estab lished by the administration with a basis of gold and silver, aud that the silver question is increasing in im portance throughout the country every year. Under the present silver coinage the senator says the mints and treasurers speculate. This is unjust to the producers of silver. He thinks foreign lead mixed with silver ought to pay duty. The mines of this country need more protection than any other interest, ne favors sub sidies for steamship lines, especially to maintain commercial relations with neighboring nations. Senator Mit chell does not take the gloomy view of the outlook for congress, and thinks there" will be much import ant legislation during the coming session. A CALIFORNIA SENSATION. ;Petalusm Courier. Itis reported thatthesalesoIthe"CalIfornIa Eemedy," Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla, have grown within a few months till they arc now really sensational. Tho way tho f amo of this production has spread is simply marvelous. Eix months ago it was unknown. To-day it Is all over the country. It is authoritatively ctated that they have been actually giving It away in San Francisco to people afflicted with dyspepsia, sick headaches, indigestion and liver troubles, not to be paid for unless it cured. StfeS practical tests arc so startlingly convincing as to be almost sensational. It is stated that two of the active principles of tho Dew remedy belong to the vegetable kingdom of California and"are so well known to us all under common names that it would surpriso us if told them. But v;c arc not surprised at anything Califomian, and this recent discov ery of the new medicinal virtues of its vegeta ble kingdom is but another instance of tho stonishingpossibilitics of a soil and oimato like ours.

Judge Sawyer made an order this morning that the bond of Jensen and Pox, of Astoria, to restrain them from further dealings with machinery, pat ent for which E. Norton, and others of Chicago are owners, be fixed at 15,000. A preliminary injunction was granted by the court which will restrain defendants from making or using the machines in question until the case comes up for final hearing.

Mac kay against the Manchester Exam iner, came up in the court of Queen's Bench to-day. The libel complained of is an allegation that the plaintiff was a poor widow with two children and that she was employed as a wash erwoman by Nevada miners, when Mackay fell in love with her and mar ried her. The plaintiff contends that the article declared she was not a lady by birth or education, and that, she was not accustomed to associatiug with persons ot good position". De fendant admits the first inuendo. but denies the secend: the defendaut had paid 10 into court, and the ques tion before the court to-day was whether the payment applied" to the whole libel or to the inuendo ad mitted. THE MONTANA MTJDELE. IIelena, Mr., Oct. 31. Judge De wolf has sustained the motion of the Democrats to issue a peremptory or der to have the canvassing board make the returns of the Tunnel pre sinct The motion for a appeal has been filed and application made for a stay of proceedings. HALTIMORE POLITICS. Baltimore, Oct. 31. A sensation has been caused here in political cir cles by the confession ot two notor iously desperate characters, profess ing to be the authors of election frauds committed at various times since 1875. William Harig alleges he aided ballot-stealing, by which F. C. Latrobe was made mayor or Balti more when Henry M..Warfield was really elected, and that Latrobe re warded him by appointing him fire man at the city hall. He also claims that he changed a majority of 450 for governor to 1,7G0 for John Lee Car roll (Dem.), who was illegally declared elected and served his term. Harig publicly announces that he holds a letter from senator Gorman, Isador Eaynor, Barnes Compton and other leading Democrats, promoting these frauds, and claims to have received money from Gorman to purchase votes and did so at 82 each. Harig also charged that Burke, the bank burg lar was allowed to escape by Warden Weyler for political reasons in the interest of Gorman and his friends. Other tough characters make equally startling confessions that if true should send them to the penitentiary. The stories were told on the eve of an election, and are consequently re ceived with but small credence. retiring board dissolved. Washington, Oct 31.

News Items From all Over the Northwest. The assessment of Yamhill county this year has decreased some $40,000 from last year's assessment. Settlers in the Big Bend country, Wash., have to ride forty miles to get their mail and to vote. The American schooner Jlollie Adams was chased by the cutter liusli in Behring sea, but out ran her and brought a full cargo of sealskins to Port Townsend. It is said that S4.000.000 in.bondsof the Elleusbnrgh & Northeastern rail road have been taken by eastern cap italists, which insures the construction of the road from that city to the Big Bend and Okanogan mines. Fred and Herbert Bolt and W. A. Hill, the three young villains who dis placed a switch on the Southern Pa cific railroad, near Albany in July, causing the death of engineer Jack Miller aud Fireman Guthrie, have been indicted by the grand jury for murder in the second degree. The biggest mineral strike of this season in the Cceur d'Alenes was made Saturday within one mile of Mullan, Idaho, by John W. Smith, a deaf and dumb prospector. He found a five foot vein, of eighteen inches' of solid galena, at a depth of fifteen feet, below the grass roots. A quarter in terest in the property has been bonded for 10,000. In all other states when a convict is discharged from a penal institution the chiefs of police throughout that stato are notified ot that fact, and all else that may tend to assist them in keeping an eye on his future move ments. At Salem, however, business is differently conducted. Not a word is ever received here respecting the pardon or discharge of a convict, and the cx-prisoner, if he so feels in clined, can again begin operations without molestation. A Communication Astoria. Octobei so, 187:). Kditok ok Daily Astorian :- In this morning's paper 1 notice the com mon council last evening adopted the leport or :i committee to ellect that 1 hae not con strncted .streets in front of my own lots m nccordance with the requirements ol the ordinances relating to the matter; and that therefore the bond given when I );ot per mits for doing the woi k. (not contract s to do the work for other people) are forfeited. llow much the memheis of the council, or of any committe. were prejudiced lv mis representation, that J had talked deViantly to any councilman, or committee, I do not know. I do know that one of our dailv naneis did a lew weeks ago, very erroneousl rep resent incujyauiisinii) as so laiKing to tnc .street committee. No statement could be more false. 1 have never sa talked to anv councilman or committee of the council. 1 believe inching all due honor and re spect to our city councilman and all other persons in authority, at all times. In regard to comnlvlu'r with the street ordinances I will say only this now, that alter l tool; a permit to improve the streets in front of block 14 (alluded to in the council proceedings) a new ordinance aitecting that part of Clienamus street was nassedbvthe city council, changing the grade in front of mat diock, soinat u wouiu cost over sjoo more to improve it than it would haecost to improve it as I promised to do in the bond on my permit. And yet I have met i ne eiraaw expense ana tneonly com plaint now made against that improvement is that 1 did not use new l-inch planking. home of the planking is new, good fir. -l-incii material, all the other material used is sound solid, well tested, seasoned (some of it water seasoned) material : and much or it will outlast any new fir planking that has been put on the stieets this season. 1 have tested this matter by using similar maienai on oilier streets in tins citv years ago. And if am of this nlankinir rives out in the near future, I shall replace it and keep i ne street in repair, as i nave always done, in front of my own premises. I might add in this connection that after the new ordinance changing the grade of the street in front of block 1 1. had passed, the chairman of the street connnitti-e said that let all parties then interested out of tueir contracts or promises on getting per mits. I ha e a cood defense for mv action in all the other places, or matters, complained of ny tnesaui street committee. W. W. PAKKKU. Delinquent Tax Notice. ftJOTICE IS HEREBY GIVENTH.VTTIIE i.
