A. year ago the subject of Chi nese immigration was seldom al luded to by eastern journals. It vas given the go-by as something in which no one but the people of this coast felt any direct interest. Of late, a change is perceptible. There are certain localities in the east in which the Chinese are be coming disagreeably numerous, and wherever they gain a foothold there it is discovered that the con dition of the poor white working classes becomes painfull' deplora ble. The inongols are gradually edging their way into the lighter occupations, to the displacement of boys, girls, men and women. These must either starve in consequence, -or become a burden upon the pub lic charities for support. The press of that part of the country no longer remains silent, though it discusses the question from differ ent stand-points. That it should be discussed at all, is a proof that it must not be overlooked, as it is rapidly assuming national 'impor tance. It is beginning to attract the notice of the president's cabi net. 'The president himself, and such men as Blaine. Garfield, But ler, and others holding high pub lic position, feel that it cannot be longer ignored. "NVe shall hence forth count upon all these as valu able auxiliaries to our united Pa cific delegation in congress, in the attempt to obtain measures of re lief through congressional legisla tion and the modification or utter abrogation of the Burlingame 'treaty. The politicians have had 'fair warning that if they expect any favors from the Pacific -coast states, ther must show works on this subject meet to deserve them. The sooner the' learn that Chinese immigration has ceased to be a mere local issue, and has become one which threatens to paralyze the prosperitr of the whole country, the better it will be for their own Jfuture securitv. HIoii anient to Major Andre. "When Dea'n Stanley was -in this 'country, he hunted and found the .grave of Major Andre, who was taken and shot as a British spy during the American revolution, it was reported as the intention of Dean Stanley to erect a Tiionu 'ment over Major Andre's remains. This would "be proper enough for an Englishman to do. Major An dre's sorrowful fate was lamented, though justified as a righteous act under the rules of war, by thou sands of Americans. He was a lirave and accomplished young 'soldier, who did not merit death half so much as the traitor Arnold, who was the means of producing it. We say that the act of erect ins: a monument -over the remains of Major Andre would be a grace ful proceeding on the part of Dean Stanley. 33ut now it is said that Gyrus W. Field has undertaken the job. This is quite a different thias and provokes adverse com ment. The Isew York Sun is not at all- pleased with the idea. It is at a loss to imagine why the Brit ish spy should be thus 'honored on American soil, while so many gal iant men who -ffcught in American armies in'the same way in which -Andre -lost his life, have no monu ments of stone to mark their "jreat ipss and patriotism. And the Sun adds: "If Mr. Cyrus W. Field is going into the monument-raising business, he will -find many of his countiymen more deserving of his attention than Andre." This is a correct sentiment. Some of the most distinguished heroes of the revolution lie in graves which are not even marked with so much as a headstone. The Fodgoritza Trouble By the treaty of Berlin, the town and district of Podsroritza was awarded to Montenegro as a portion of the inheritance falling from the discomfiture of Turkey, and the crumbling away of her Europen possessions. If any of the parties taking part in the -defeat of the Turks in that desperate contest deserves remuneration, it was that little Principality, which, although numbering only one hudred and twenty-five thousand people, had the pluck to fight Turkey, with her man- millions, alone. But the people of Pod goritza are bitterly opposed to be ing turned over to the rule of the semi-savages of Montenegro, and have openly vowed not to submit to the terms of the treaty, even though commanded to do so by the Sultan himself. The result of this is, so far, that the commis sioners appointed for making the transfer have not yet left Constan tinople. The Montenegrins are armed on the border, and may at tempt the annexation by force of arms. The Cclilo Xiyiiip: Club. By the first mail after the freeze up we received a cabalistic invitation, neatly worded and tastily printed, from the Celilo Lying Club, asking us to be present at The Dalles January 4th, and visit Celilo with a skating party. The arrangements were got up and carried out by Capts. Jas. Troup and W. P. Gray, Dell Linderman Frank Abernethy, Orin Kinnersley, Edward A. Xoyes, Martin Spelling, Charles Bodman anclZ. F. Moody Jr., all employes of the Oregon Steam Navigation company, vrho had char tered the -train at their own expense in order to do the handsome thing. They left The Dalles at 10 o'clock. Arriv ing at Celilo, all the boats were in winter quarters, but Capt. Troup had made every provision for the comfort of his guests in the cosy cabin of the John Gates. After an hour of skating, the party assembled for luncheon, and such a display of "foraging on the ene my" was never before seen outside of General Blenker's camp in the early part of the war. Jones stole Brown's cold duck and Smith appropriated. Johnson's hard-boiled eggs; and while Bloggs went to get .away with Snobbs bread and cheese, his own basket was rifled of a bottle of claret. It was a harvest of kleptomania. At last feast ing was at an end, and the President announced that the LIES OF THIS DAY. Were in order; whereupon Capt. Gray said he was glad to see the breth ren and sisters present in such large numbers. The weather was delightful for a reunion of this sort; in fact it reminded him of his first Sunday at Sitka; the weather was so cold that every word spoken w:is frozen into a pellet as fast ;is it came from a man's mouth. He saw one poor man driven -out of doors by a broom m the hands of his mother-in-law; the old lady slammed the door in hi3 face and ho kept on begging for admission till finally he was found standing up to his knees in his own eloquence. Here the secretary rose and asked permission to read a telegram from the editor of the Empire, who had been detained at the Dalles, and who desired to be -admitted to member ship. The president "What are his qual ifications!" Secretary "He says he once owned a thoroughbred horse that used to eat hay and oats with a knife and fork." President "Good; and who are his references!" Secretary "George Knas and Yic. Trevitt, sir. President "Very good; let him be admitted." Capt. Troup said lie considered the foregoing events to be but very com monplace occurrences. He was once i sailing in l.i hip from Portland to Vancouver, Vhen he saw a typhoon a-coming, and sent his mate aloft to saw off tho top-gallant masts and let them go by the run. The mate had just begun to ascend the ratlines when the typhoon came with such force that it blew all the teeth out of the saw and they were obliged to cut down the masts with an ax. Mr. Bodman then arose to nar rate a very touching incident that oc curred on a steamer of which he was engineer during a cold winter. The boat got short of oil and they skim med the milk-pans in the galley for cream to grease the cylinders. The cook had accidentally spilt some sugar and extract of lemon a few minutes previously into the pan; so they filled I the lubricator up with the cream and punrmed it into the cylinders; when they got to the end of the route, he noticed that the pistons were not working full stroke, though the throt tle was wide open, so when the "old man" landed the boat, he took off the cylinder head, and there was a whole cylinder full of lemon ice cream, six teen inches in diameter and six feet stroke. Other lies were told, by the editor of the Mountaineer, and by Sheriff Crossen, and others, and the party re turned to The Dalles to view the vast river frozen solid from bank to bank, for more than seven miles. This lat ter sentence was not a lie. flf you are suddenly asked, 'who among merchants have made the largest fortunes in the shortest time in legitimate business,' will not your reply naturally be, ''judicious advertisers T' BORN.
