CJ g& gaUaj storfera. ASTORIA. OREGON: B. C. IREIiAKl Ertilor. TUESDAY Makcii 4, 1879 The Chinese Bill Vetoed. President Hayes has placed his veto upon the bill of congress res tricting Chinese immigration. And the house of representatives failed to pass it over the veto of His Ac cidency. It is not necessary to re view this message of Mr. Hayes. His chief argument is that the ac tion taken bjr congress is modifica tion of a treaty, not total abroga tion of it; and while he admits that it is within the power of con gress to renounce a treaty which it deems disadvantageous to the country, he insists that power to modify a treaty belongs to the treaty-making power, that is to the president and senate; and that the exercise of such power is not competent for congress. There is a good deal said about the desirability of bringing the Chinese under the influence of our civilization and religion, which may as well be set down as twad dle, since the Chinese will not ac cept either and probably are bet ter off as they are. But it is not apparent how civilization, morality mid religion are to be advanced by bringing into our midst so large an additional element totally at variance with them, and thus in creasing the poverty of large class es of'our own people, a result not only not favorable to morality and religion, but directly productive of immorality and crime. As for the political or partisan aspects or the subject, perhaps they are not worth discussing, since it may not be thought of much moment at the cast whether there is a republican pariy on the Pacific coast, or not. !T1, however, any interest is taken "in. this aspect of the case it may be well to sar that this reto, unless repudiated by the republican national convention next year, and a candidate nominated for -the presidency known to be favorable to Chinese restriction,will annihilate the republican party in the Pacific .states. Glass Ball Shooting. 'On last Saturday several of our sportsmen went over the river, says the Albany Bemocrat, and spent the afternoon ti shooting at glass balls. In the first match there were five contestants, and Vr. B. Scott came out winner, with Wes. Baltimore persons entered second. seven in the second match, and "Wes. Baltimore was the winner, and D. B. Monteith second- Jn the third contest there were only five entries and -Baltimore again won the pool, and Will Miller stood next to him in number of points. Next came a match be tween Wes. Baltimore and D.. B. Monteith, in which the former broke every ball, and the latter only anissed twice. The balls were nil sprung from one of the Bogar- j , dus traps, and the distance was eighteen yards. To-morrow after nonti at 1 o'clock there will be an other tournament at the same place i( opposite Monteibifs mills), and all who wish to witness it are invited to auenu: vjne leature win be aj. match between four of our best sportsmen for a purse of $20. The Scientific American in forms us the time when aerial navi gation will be within the reach Gf anan is near at hand. The shipment of American oysters to England is now carried on to the extent of from 1,200 to sOO .barrels per day- Chief Moses has been informed by the government that he cannot have the reservation he demanded last fall. He professes to acquiesce, and says he will do all he can to persuade his people to accept the decision. Moses is still a prisoner in the hands of Father "Wilbur, and the citizens, having no faith in Moses, will arrest him as an acces sory to the Perkins murder as soon as he is released by Wilbur. The Register says that a ladv in Albany is considering the pro priety of inaugurating a new en terprise, viz: establishing a laun dry and employing white women and girls to do the work. By this move she would put to the test the question whether the people would patronize white women as against Mongolism heathens. The place where the Chinaman can do the most good is out in the country digging up oak grubs. The suc cess of the above enterprise might have the effect to drive the China-! man to the grub patch. We hope the experiment may be a financial success. Through the absence of a cor rect topographical map of New York state, even educated per sons continue in ignorance of the grandeur of the state's physical features, some of the configurations of which are represented to be as unique and the origin as unknown as those of the Rock' mountains. The so-called hills of central New York might rightly be called mountains, for they rise a thous and feet above the valleys, and two thousand feet above the sea, and it is added that from one of them, in Tompkins county, may be seen the waters of lake Ontario on the north and the heights of Penn sylvania on the south a view ac cross the entire state. A party of hunters in Doug las county recently, discovered a cave in a spur of the coast range mountains. The entrance to this subterranean vault is large enough to admit the body dZ a man. For a distance of four or five feet the dimensions of the passage do not increase, but after that it epjlarges .as you enter. No one in the party possessed the temerity to explore the cave, but contented themselves with speculating upon its probable size. On the hill imroediately above the entrance to the cave is a hole about two feet in diameter, which decsends to unknown depth. Large rocks were dropped into the orifice, but no sound indicated that they had found bottom. From supposition that the place was the den of panthers or other wild beasts, it was left unexplored. The people of Lebanon are waking up to their interests in the matter of railroad connections with the outside world. A subscription of $115,000 has already been prom ised in aid of a road between that city and Albany. Doubtless .the sum can be increased somewhat if nocessary. The people of Brownsviile -are more in earnest, and are ready to put $20,000 in a narrow gauge connecting their city with Albany. Their interests are directly identical with that of Albany, and therefore they would prefer to aid a railroad in that directien: but the feeling there is that there must be a wav out to market in some direction, and if Albany don't want the trade, it must go elsewhere. Albany can not afford to lose the trade of Brownsville and Lebanon, with therich country surrounding them; yet, unless the people aid, and that right speedily, in the construction of a railway to bind them to Albany, the Springfield road will J gobble them up The Canse of Diphtheria. Apples and Other Fruits the Primary Cause of Diphtheria. Dr. Emil Quernon, of Philadel phia, has printed the following as the result of his investigations into the cause of diphtheria. And as everything pertaining to this ter rible disease is of general interest we give it place, but we frankly confess that we do not consider the theory applicable to Oregon, as there is but little diphtheria in web-foot, where children are, as it were, raised upon big red apples. Dr. Quernon says: After alaborious and scrutinizing investigation into the causes of a large number of cases of diph theria that have come under my care during sevoral years past, I have almost arrived at the conclu sion that the primary infection of an idividual comes from the fungi which are found as spots o dif ferent colors on the exterior of fruits, particularly apples. As far as the power of 1113 microscope has shown, these fungi seem indenti cai with the fungi f from a diphther itic ulcer; and last autumn 1 traced a number of cases, at one time five together in one family, back to the eating of apples picked from the ground in orchards without pre viously cleaning the fruit by wash ing or paring. The prevalence of this dreadful disease in the last three decades may well be accoun ted for by the fact that the appear ance and flourishing of lower vege table and animal organism is periodical; of which we have ex amples in the potato disease, the disease of the grape-vine, and chol era, which latter has been ascribed to a fungus growing on the ears of rice in East India, and carried 111 the human body as a contagion over all parts of the globe, and in many other cases. Of course, any person infected with the disease from tlie primary cause may be the centre of infection for others. "Why many persons eat fruit with fungi on them with impunity is ex plainable simply on the ground that the susceptibility for disease differs greatly in individuals; and that, for instance, for the propaga tion of fungi upon the mucus membrane of the pharynx there may exast a previous catarrhalic affection, with a spongy condition of the same. It is my opinion that in times of epidemic diseases, almost every one takes the contagion into his system, but that for the develop ment of the disease a certain pre disposition, or some additional cause, is necessary. Thus, cholera breaks out in an individual only after the cooling off of the abdo men; and small-pox attacks timid persons often after being fright ened at the sight of the pitted face of a convalescent patient from a distance. Thus, also, the impunity of physicians who treat such dis eases with a zealous and investi gating mind, and with a fearless interest in every case, may be ac counted for; their nervous energy resisting the tendency of their vital power to succumb to the contagion. By this communication I wish only to give a hint for further in vestigation in this matter, for cer tainly it is time that the medical profession should discover more of the hidden cause of zymotic dis eases, which bring so much havoc among the human race.
