ASTOEIA, OREGON :
. C. IRELAND .EDITOR
"WEDNESDAY Mat 3, 187G.
Once again, and that at no very
distant time, the funeral bells must
ring, and the great trio of American
financial giants will be only a mem
ory. Astor is gone! Stewart's re
mains have just been lowered into
his modest vault in St. Marks Church
yard ; Yanderbilt only survives a
hale old veteran indeed, but surely
and steadily approaching his end
and when he is gone, the three great
fortunes 'of this country will have
passed down to another generation.
In a well written editorial in the
Commercial Herald, on the Chinese
questien: " a word of warning," the
following expression is the only
apology offered for the presence of
the Chinese on this Ceast: -"They
are 'our principal railroad builders,
and but for their cheap labor we
would have to pay more for freights
and fare." The Herald is of that
stamp of journals that does not sfoop
to play the role of pettifogger on any
occasion ; and as we said, before, the
above being its only apology for the
presence of the Chinese in our midst,
in such hordes, we beg pardon but
wish to ask the Herald for informa
tion. How much more would we
have to nay for freights and fare if
the railroads had been built by hon
est white men? How much less
would the Railroad Companies have
received from the general govern
ment, in the matter of land grants
and gold bearing interest bonds I It
is nonsense, Pro. Beals, and there is
no apology whatever for the presence
of the Chinese in our midst. They
pauperize White people everwhere
they go.
British Interferences in Samoa
The imprisonment of Steinberger on
board the British war-ship Barracouta
is told with so much detail that we
presume the report must be true ; and
if so, it imposes upon our Government
the duty of investigating the matter
and seeing that the prisoner gets justice.
He has all the rights of an American
citizen. Entrance into the service of
-a foreign civilized State usually implies
an abandonment of the native allegi
ance, but tliis rule does not apply to
savage, barbarous or semi-civilized
States. Burlingame did not forfeit
any of his privileges as an American
citizen by becoming an Embassador of
the Chinese Empire. So we imagine
Mr. Steinberger, when he became
Prime Minister of Samoa, did not lose
! . t , , -, . ,, r ii . ,. i
Jus right to claim the full protection of i
tlie American Government.
All tTie accounts received here, imply
that the Captain of the Barracouta has
grossly violated international law, in
seizing and selling the yacht Peerless,
and in imprisoning Mr. Steinberger.
"The yacht has been carried away and
.maybe beyond recovery, but Stein
berger lives to demand
? P I- i
satisfaction.
By going to Samoa, he placed himself
under the jurisdiction of Samoan law,
and as we cannot expect a very enlight
ened administration of justice from
savages, if they had sold his vessel and
imprisoned him, there might be little
ground for complaint. But the matter
takes an entirely different shape when
a British war ship is used to execute
an illegal order. The British Govern
ment is responsible for the ignorance,
folly or malace of its officials ; and to
one or more of those iniiuences must
he attributed, we imagine, these acts
of tlic Captain of the Rarracouta.
It is to be remembered, however,
that we have not yet heard the other fucted to conform with the grade of said
side, and there may be palliations or.o'.o m, fn -,- t
