' FIVB KILLIOK FOUNDS OF RlUFIBg There Are, Also Many Investments Sponge Fishers off the Coast of Florida Other Mews. New Oblbans, Feb. 6. Special. "The country needs to be reminded that there is cood fishing in tbe gulf of Mexico for either sport or profit, though the fisheries there do not cost either the government or the bordering states a dollar of money or a moment of anxiety. Fishing there is a great industry, in which Italians, Sicillians, Austrians, Greeks, Spaniards, Malays, and ; some West India negroes engage. The oys ter interests are enormous and compara tively undeveloped. It is estimated that 3,000,000 bushels of oysters were fished in the neighborhood of New Or leans in 1892, most of which were taken for local consumption: In the same year there were 404 ves sels of nearly 5,000 net tonnage and em ploying 12,000 men in the gulf' fisheries. Of the most important fishes taken in that year- were snappers to the amount of 5,000,000 pounds; Spanish mackerel, 700,000 pounds'; -A pampano, 300,000 pounds ; red-fish, 2,100,000 " pounds. There are also sponge fisheries on the Florida coast which furnished products to the value of $439,000, while shrimp, crabs, turtles and terrapin are found in great quantities. Louisiana and Florida take the lead in these fisheries, which are so thoroughly under American pro tection that they are not .likely to in volve international disputes. Legislation for Alaska! The people of Alaska are calling aloud for home rule and are setting earnestly to work to secure it. According to ad vices received from Juneau the initia tive in this movement was taken on January 25th, when the citizens of Al aska met and organized a home rule league for the purpose of advancement and fostering the interests of the terri tory. The people generally invited to join, the only qualification being United States citizenship. Branch leagues are to be organized at' Sitka," Wrangel, Kodiac, Unga and Douglas Island. The object of the league is. to unite tbe peo ple of the. territory, so they may work as a unit for the advancement of the conn try. A convention will be called to meet in Juneau some time this month to discuss the needs of the territory and to eiecc a delegate who will carry to con gress a petition asking for the following legislation for Alaska : First a delegate in congress; second home rule; third a modification of the present prohibitory liquor law so as to admit of licensing under certain restrictions ; fourth a law Dy wnicn puDiic lanas may oe taken up by actual settlers. This is a brief out line of the legislation that is desired. Colonel Charles H. Tsham of Sitka is leading the movement and is meeting with cordial support from all who have interests in the territory. . As Good as Gold. . Washington, Feb. - 6. Special. There is shortly to be another issue of 1,400,000 of the new Columbian half dollars, making irr all 2,800,000 which will have been issued. The demand for these coins is very large. The , greater number are probably held as souvenirs, and are thus kept out of circulation. Inquiries as to their being legal tender for the face value have been received at the treasury, a popular misconception seemingly prevailing that they are in tended only as souvenirs.

' - Chattanooga, Feb. 6. Special. In .1882 the south produced 350,439 tons of iron. "Under republican) protection In ten years it reached to 1,834,586 and the current year will go over" 2,000,000 tons. Thiajfl advance of oyer -400 per cent. Bat go right along ; smash the. robber's tariff, and ten year - hence take an ac count of Stock: and see . whether it is 400 per cent better. The. iron ' men if the south don't seem to know-enough to let welt enough alone. Had it not been for protection, Chattanooga and Birming ham would have; been straggling Til lages, with men- sitting on dry goods boxes whittling on pine sticks, or fig uring what they -would get for rosin next year. - - Protection made them just as free as free trade Will unmake them. . The signs of the times are of a conser vative character. . Manufacturers will keep close to the market demand, and brokers will restrict loans to business necessities, and avoid all speculative tendencies. In ' railroad construction only such work as is considered abso lutely necessary will be done. There ia but one meaning in all this, and that is a. curtailment of the employment of labor, and the cheaper and more com mon grades will be the first to feel the effects, while skilled workmen must come in for their share of the burden by wage reductions. . An example of this is found in the fact that the. Beaver falls tool company has reduced the wages of its employes. 50 per cent. "This Is . a sweeping cut, and is due to uncertainty as to what will be done with the product in the event of. the adoption of a free trade policy. " A Good SnggesMon. West Side. There has probably been no legislature which excites so little in terest as the one now in session at Salem. It ia generally conceded' that if our legislature could meet once in ten years. our state would be immensely better off. There is too much tinkering with' legis lation, too many $5.00 worth of stamps, penknives, " and ' pretty female clerks voted for, and not enough law made in the interest of the people.' Because our people have been.' led to expect but little, it is probable that little Will be. the re sult of this legislature. We sincerely hope that" our assessment law may be amended, and our' road laws changed. Less attention should be paid to spend ing the public money, and more now to collect the same .and -not rob the' poor man as is' the case now, - even here in Oregon. " '' - How Ancient Builders Ballt. The builders of Babel built well. Tra dition relates that it was only a confu sion of. tongues that checked their aspi ration. There can be no doubt that the foundations of the celebrated tower that was designed by its architect to reach "heaven" were of the broadest and heav-; iest sort; let us say vast walla of the most solid granite, bound and knit to gether by that most excellent insoluble cement that is one of the lost arts to modern constructionists. Yet if latter day engineers be not hopelessly in error with concern to the conclusions they have drawn as respects ancient ma sonry from the ruins of ancient struc tures, ancient builders counted only on the law of gravitation, which, they knew in an empiric way, for the safety of the works they wrought: The projector of the Nag-on-Wat, whose walls and roof might have sheltered a. St. Peter's and a St. Paul's and still have had room for a building like the Equitable in Broadway within its vast inclosures, would never dream of setting his masons to begin, tbe laying of his walls say at about fifty feet, from the ground. Harper's Weekly. Something That Has Been Needed. For some time past tho publio have been looking for an adjustable grille, with shelf attachment, upon which to place bric-a-brac, the whole' to be ar ranged over windows or doorways to re lievo this portion .of a room, which ia usually dependent upon a curtain pole. The great trouble haa always been that they had to bo made to order, as win dows and doors vary in width. Now, however, a device is made narrow enough to go into tho narrowest doorway. ' It is in two sections, running upon a sliding top bar. By drawing- these pieces apart they can be extended to the width of the door, and the open place left in the center of them is furnished with a short drapery.

Chairman Clarhson of the Rational Committee Scores the President for his Action. Washington, Feb. 6. Special. Amongst the many leading republicans who have taken exceptions to the ap pointment of Judge Jackson ot Tenn.T to till the vacancy, of the supreme bench made by the death of Lamar, Hon. J. S. Clarkson, chairman of the national re publican executive committee, is quoted as saying: "In my judgment, the act of President Harrison in appointing to the supreme bench, especially at this ex ceedingly critical juncture in national affairs, a southern state-rights, free trade, anti-pension democrat, and an unrecanted believer in - the secession theory, is a betrayal of public trust and party faith. Indeed, it ia the most ser ious blunder in party politics which President Harrison has committed. No president since the foundation of the re public has appointed a man from the opposition party to the suprejue bench. It is specially a betrayal of party inter est at the present time, when-, the dem- vvi va vi - owa v mtau voiivoaivii vs. every branch of the government except the judiciary." 1 " -' ' - . - It was a surpriee both to republicans and democrats. As has beer said, it may be an act of graceful -courtesy on thespart of Mr; Harrison to his succes sor, but it is a -dangerous and disap pointing compromise-' with principle. If there ia anything more in party than mere office-getting,' it ia the duty of . s president to insure the enforcement of the principles of the government he pro fesses" in his appointments to office. It is a common sentimental error to sup pose a non-partisan judiciary either pos sible or-undersirable. As Mr. Clarkson says : "If the presi dent has done this because irritating ru mor has said the senate would reject any republican he ebould appoint, he has proposed a renunciation of republican principles and. taade it possible for the supreme court to become democratic during Cleveland's term. - Any republi can senator could with more . loyalty to party and honor have voted for Grover Cleveland for four . years last November than to vote for Jackson for life now. To vote for him is to approve in cold blood of the - abandonment of the wronged and helpless republicans in the south. It is to approve of the brutal disregard of the rights of all colored men in the south, and the more brutal treatment of re$l or supposed colored criminals in the southern states, who are in these latter years eo frequently burned alive or quartered at the stake. The republican party, which is still liv ing and which is to rule again, despite any man's -disappointments, may well be saved from tbe present and enduring the historical dishonor of such an, act of perfidy and wrong becoming an ac complished fact."
