MM fa! I 'Dolor litclteil'i Prepoiilion. ifenator Mitchell h w introduced a bill ti the Senate to abrogate all trea ties which give the Chinese thn right to mler thin country and thpn effoct oally excluds them. There not much doulit says the Bullet'n, but that id step which will have to be taken sooner or lalor. The movoment against the coolies which is now so general thrpughout the Pacific coist goes ly diffm-nt names. As a matter of fact t is merely a popultr effort more de ter a ined than anything that has yet been attempted to halte Oft Mongol ianiara ..Jt object it nothing more thnn the ull ani coiriplete Its Ameri canization of the Pacific states and territories which art about the only areas not well filled tip in thn United States at this time. It might as well be understood y all those who give any thought to the subject, east or west, that this movement is riot going to come to a halt, or that there is going to be a reaction of any consequence. The conflict is an irrepresibln as that between free and slave labor formerly in the South. It will proceed until the only logical solution possible under the circumstances is reached that is to say, the absolute, complete and eternal exclusion of thn scrvilu and disturbing Chinese element If there is not legis tion wise and broad to facilitate and guide the movement, it will, before lone, assume another and niore ultra and less manageable form. To Senator Mitchell's proposition, therefore, Coneivss ill in time Have to come. No doubt tlie wines', thing to do is to accept and enforce it now. But whether Congress and the country are educated up to that point is the scridus question of the. discussion. If there is any chance for it-' pa wage and ap proval by the President, all would at once say, that is the bill for the Paciflo cnust. But it would be a terribV mis. fortune if to gain Uie greater and more complete reli-f,r we should ban the lesser remedy for which Mr. Morrow's bill provides. No one who gives impartial st i y to the Burlingame treaty, without any reference whatever to the Chinese, question, can fail to reach the conclusion that it ought to lie aWngntfd, or at least portions of it, on the ground simply of justice. In it we give up a gn at many rights and privileges, and g't nothing in return. Notwithstanding that we have opened up cur country to Hhe man dealers of Canton, to drive possibly the most lucrative trade of modern times, we do tiot enjoy any greater freedom in China than other foreigners. Americans can only reside in treaty ports; they can not travel into thn interior without passports difficult to obtain; they can not engage in manufacturing, or build railroads or telegraphs. Thorn are, all told, not more thin 42 Americans in tihina, while thore are lOO.PlJO Chinese in this country, doing what they pleaso, indulging in any competition that they choose, draining the Pacitio Ptates of their wealth, and in fact, rendering them tributary to the Central Flowery Land. One of the justices of the Maine Supreme Court occasionally amirses himself, when he is alone, by taking down an old fiddle and playing on it. The Judge used to be an expert per former of jigs on the fiddle,- but since his boyhood has not devoted much time to the violin. He was born and raised in poverty, and the sfory of his life is almost a romance. His father was the fuller of the village, a nomadic ond jovial soul "When utied to muster, Bixty years ago, f used to see the Judge and his father playing the fiddle for dances at sixpence per fane, 1 his Was the regular price in' those daya None of the dancers ever sup posed that their little tiddler would become a Judge of the Supreme Court, A lawyer in New Mexico was con ducting a case involving the price of clipping a mule. The owner of the animal claimed that the nicle was not properly clipped. When the clipper went to hat ax a witness he had recent ly quit a social scene. The lawyer asked him, "Did you hold tho mule's tail while you shaved itf Shutting one eye the wit new answered, "Zhat was one of dem mules wot could hold his own tail."' Finding, a Pontine Alter Ytan of Privallon. The exceptionally good luck of a miner known as Old Man Meagher is the talk of the community here, ' Mea gher was looked upon as a hermit, one whose mind had been turned in hunt ing visionary fortunes in the mining regions of the West. For the past five years he has been driving a blind tun. nel into a mountain at a point about half way between Crested Butte and Irwin. Bummer and Winter he has worked continually and alone, living on tho most meager food, and paying no attention to the ioings of the out side world. There were no appearance of mineral veina on the surface, and people looked on the project of driving a tutiiVel in such a place with the hopo of striking mineral as laughable non sense. Even at night people passing could hear tho olick, click, of the drill of the solitary miner. Yesterday IHe old man invited a few miners frdrti Crested Butte to visit his tullnol, tell ing them he had the biggest thing in Colorado. At the end cf the tunnel a body of fine ore five feet six iriches in thickness was disclosed to View, The ore is a rich silver glalitio, aulphitret and galena. It riins from $000 to up in the thousarids to the ton, and is the most importarit strike ever made in tho Elk itlountairis. Tho old man has almost gone cr'ary over the inlnierisity of hiit sudden wealth. Thri towns of Crested Butte and Irwin are greatly excited over it, tthd prospecting ill the vicinity tif the ttiHriel in two feet of siidw is plow being done liy many then. The Strike is four miles from tho rail road, with all the way down grade. Gunnison, Col., Letter in Globe Demo crat Consul Bee, of S.in Francisco, says that the Chinese Six companies have notified all poor, aged and decrepit subjects of the Suit tliat all whd wish to go home can do ho for 32 SO front Victoria, $33 from Portland) and $25 from San Francisco, a reduction of something like $26 50 on each ticket. They offer to give an "assisted passage" to those who could not manage even tlifso reduced rates. Questioned as to the number of Chinese in thn country, state and city, hn made answer that his estimates were as follows: That there are 30,000 fewer Chinamen in the country now than there were at the time the restriction act was passed, and that since 1883 an annual average of 1,200 old and sick Chinese have been assisted home that the nunfbnr of Chiivsn in thn United States is 85,000; that there are ahoiit 73,000 on thn oiast, that total being madeirppf 65, 000 in Califorrfio, 3,000 in' Washing ton Territory; and 7,000 iff dregon; finally, that there are' at present in San Francisco just aiout 19,500 Chinese residents and l.CnO transients"; The arrest of O'eo. Q. Cartrfon, and his coming trial for polygamy half a dozen times over at Salt Lake City with in the near futcrre, are likely to I the leading newspaper Hensations for the next fev weeks, when the courts get down' to" business with him. He is at nephevv of John Taylor, who stepped into Brigham's shoes; and Can non is next to' him' in authority,' as also brains of tho "First Presidency," hav ing beeu' time and' agairr delegated to Congress ffonY Utaft. It appears tint his uncle is also "otft in the hills," flee ing, literally, from the wrath yawning for him. Hn is very old, and if Can non maniges to escape' ' heavy poni tentiary sentence, he is destined to be. the coining1 man among the "Saints." We understand he is a cousin of Mr. Cannon, the banker at Spokane Falls, a' n-spfcled citizen and true friend to the deserving poor. Velcome. The transcontinental railroad lines, all except the Northern Pacific, are cut ting rates, the pool having fallen through. Passenger rates have been cut down from 30 to 50 per cent, and thn end is not yet, as railroad men pre diet that this war of rates will be a long and fierce one. It will send many immigrants here from the states east of the Rockies, as well as tourists and men seeking investments for their capi tal, on which the rates of interest are so low in the older settled communities. We expect to welcome many strangers to our coast during the coming season, and no doubt many of them will cast thoir lines with us permanently.' BUI Nye on TrsoVitts. . One thousand eight hundred and eighty-six years ago the Roniak geog' rapher and weather crank, , StraW; spoke of Vesuvius as al'urnt moutU tain; hut at that time it had not turned1 itself inside out. Quite a forest grew-. where the crater now stands. . For fifty years Vesuyius.Jiad billioug spells,, but kept on drawing its salary without, lojs of time, but in A. D. 79 it turned itself loose and tore up the ground a good deal. Real estate went tip to astonishing bights, but became depress ed at once. The south half of the mountain was jerked loose, as Pliny has it, and knocked gaily-west. This, was followed by a shower of hot, wet ashes, which completely obliterated, Pompeii and Herculaneum. These twb tdwris have been exhumed latoly, but;, owing to the delay of the authorities, In doing so, no lives were saved. These cities are not covered with lava.. Scientists say that the ruins were. foand under a deep layer of volcanid tufa. I do not know what tufa is, but presume tho term is perfectly proper and safe to use in good society. I havn heard of the tufa cigar, which is sold at the rate of tufa for 5 cents, but' am comparatively ignorant of the general appearance of volcanic tufa. . : it.'" . t The following cablegram from Lon don, indicates a very iihpoftant possi bility: "Tho bermari agrarian leader, . has agreed to rheet the Prussian min ister of finarice during the coming week , for the purpose of drafting a bi-motallid, treaty. It will contain but one article, which will embrace as parties to the -convention the United States, Ger-r many, Austria and states, comprising the Latin Union, England being ex-' eluded. By the terms of the treaty all the contracting states agree' to adopt the system of free coinage of -cold and silver, on the standard of the French nation, at trie same time main-' taining tljeir existing standards and cxi. eluding foreign coin from circulation; i . 4 The town council of Corvallis, at its' Fobriiary session, passed an ordinance, amending former ordinances fh respecj to liquor licenses. Tho new ordinance provides a license fee of $500 per an-. num for the sale of spirituous or spirit- ' uous and male liquors, payable semi annually or yearly, and no license 4 . issued for less than six months, or for',. more than one year. For malt liquors only, a license fno of $200 is required. ., The former license was $400 in one and (100 in thn other case. Thn story goes that whea Thnebaw" and bis rntinun were landed as prison- 6rs at Madras and turned oyer to at burly Scott on duty there, the officer who brought them demanded a receipt . The Scotchman promptly made it out: "Received of Colonel Willoujjhby, one' king, two queens, thirteen' maids' of honor., etc., per invoice. Thn most accomplished puUio repre sentative that we have in Europe is. Judge Stallo, of Cincinnati, the United States Minister to Italy, who surprises . the people of Rome by his linguistic talent.
