S A.tjRD AY ........ JANUARY 18, 1879
-Public Opinion Forming.
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'
