Arndt and Fcrchen to construct for the Astoria Fire Department a hook and ladder truck and apparatus. It is the only proposition I have received and ironi uie uesi lniorinaiion x can gee win answer our city all that will be required in that line for"man v years. The price. $900.00, in comparison to those furnished in the east, is I think less; owing to the plain style of finish they are compelled to use here. The truck, ladders and everything else that can be, will be man ufactured here. And 1 would respectfully recommend the acceptance of the proposition. I would also report that at a trial of Astoria engine company Xo. 1, after having it repaired under the supervision of Mr. F. Ferrell,I find that the engine works well and is now ready for duty. During the trial one length of the hose purchased from Mr. J. liuchtel bursted. I would also recommend that some definite action he taken in reference to the custody of the Astoria engide Xo. 1. The company of that name not claiming the engine as I have been informed by the foreman. Still I do not, under the circumstances, feel authorized to emnloy any one to take care of it. And I lope the company will conclude to arcept and run the engine as she is now capable of doing good service. Rev. P. A. Ilylaml has given me his consent to use the bell of the Episcopal church as an alarm heir in case of fire, until the city can procure one, and I will have ropes pur up during the week so that it can be rung in proper alarm style.

The Comet, the recognized organ of the California branch of the national la bor union, publishes the following re buke to the agitators who are seeking to incite the workingmen to acts of vio vie lence: The street corners in the most densely populated parts of the city have been re sonant nightly, for weeks past, with the blatant bosh of a band of the most shal-low-pated demagogues that ever disgrac ed an intelligent community. Com munism itself, with all its attendant horrors, is innocence, when compared with the designs of these demagogues, as explained by themselves the com munist aims tb level the inequalities ex isting between the rich and the poor. These demagogues appeal to the worst passions of the worst classes, to incite them to disgrace American civilization by making our streets flow with the blood of the Chinese, whom our govern ment stands pledged to protect. The wickedness of these instigators to murder and incendiarism would not be so niischevious, were it not that they profess to represent the working classes, and thus bring the odium of their infa my on those who are the staunchest up holders of law and order. The real workingmen of San Francisco the men whose well trained minds, brawny arms and calloused hands have made our city a marvel of rapid development can have no sympathy with those who would destroy and disgrace the beautiful works of their hands. American freemen, raised and matured on the soil consecra ted to Liberty, whose hearts overflow with kindness and pity toward those less fortunate, can have no feeling in com mon with those Avho, themselves born on a foreign soil, would disgrace our na tional institutions by sheading the blood ot another race of foreigners. The Chinese in our midst are a curse to our country, but God forbid that it should everbe recorded that the working-classes of America had degenerated into as sassins and incendiaries, to correct an evil which they have the power to rem ed by lawful means. The blatant demagogues' to whom we allude do not represent the working classes. They are mere adventurers, having nothing to lose and much to gain bv a raid on the Chinese quarter. It is tlie duty of the city and state authori ties to preserve the peace of the commu nity by silencing such wretches. If con finement in jailis what they desire, to make of themselves martyrs, by all means place them there. The abuse of the liberty of speech most unquestiona bly disturbs the publicpeace and brings them within the power of the law. A Ruffian vr ell Served. From the INewYork Tribune, The latest and most effective coun terblast against tobacco was deliver i by a lady on a Sixth avenue car ou Saturday. One of these noble speci mens of manhood who chew the weed and with impartial mind distribute the saliva on everything and every body within range, was sitting opposite the lady. From his capacious mouth, at regular intervals a stream of amber juice fell upon her dress. Her look f blank amazement soon gave place to one of wrath; a frown blacker than mid-night gathered upon her face... Patience ceasing to bo a virtue, she at last rose, carefully gathered up her dress, so as to lose not a drop of the fragrant liquid, and, leaning vis-a-vis. wiped his face with, the garment he had desecrated, and then deliberately resumed her seat. The astonished man roared with rage and pain, vainly tried to wipe the tobacco juice from his smarting eyes and at last rushed from the car, followed by roars .of laughter from the passengers. We see by Salem papers that a stock exchange board has been organr ized at that place. Mining quotations are given ont and regular transactions carried on daily. Tins is enterprising, and if the Capitol of the state has not exhausted itself in thi3 effort at pro gress, it will prove beneficial to Oregon interests by thu3 advertising its vast mineral wealth abruad.
