Somfc Consolation.
In the hour of sorrow caused by
the Veto power being abused by
Restriction Bill Hayes, we have
one 'ray of sunshine to break
thT0ugh sa's the Standard, which
causes us to forget for the time
being at least our great disappoint
ment. The following telegram
from Senator Mitchell to a promi
nent gentlemen of this city explains
itself:
"Washington, March 2. The
river and harbor bill which has
just passed the senate appropriates
for the Cascades 100,000; for the
Lower Villamette and Columbia,
45,000; to continue the survey at
the bar at the mouth of the. Col
umpia river, 5,000: -for the Upper
Columbia, 620,000; for the Upper
Willamette, 612,000; break water
and harbor of refuge at some
point on the cozist as may be de
termined by the board of engineers,
$150,000. Total increase over the
the House bill as reported, $225,
000; making the entire appropri
ations for the benefit of Oregon,
$400,000. We will also get 20,
000 for a military wagon road from
Scottsville to Camp Stewart, also
appropriations for surveys for
locks at the Dalles, Alsea, Alsea
bay and Umpqua river.
'Sentiment of Senators.
From the telegraphic reports we
glean the following expression of
Pacific coast senators after the veto
of the Chinese restriction bill:
Senator Booth said ho thought
the message very much like -an or
dinary eastern newspaper uirticle.
It was about what he expected.
Senator Mitchell said he hardly
dred trust himself to speak of Mr.
Hayes, for fear he might employ
language which would not be dec
orous. He considered the Presi
dent's utterances hypocritical and
inconsistent, and the veto an out
re.ge. . Senator Jones said it seemed to
him that cthe president simply
wanted to barter our civilization
for supposed commercial advan
tages and for supposed opportuni
ties for missionary efforts in China.
He was not surprised at anything
weak, mild or waterish -when it pro
ceeded from such a source.
Senator Sargent, comment
ed upon it in the follow
ing emphatic terms which are re
ported verbatim: The message is
weak and inconsistent. The ad
ministration crouches at the de
mand of the eastern press and
money bags, and but feebly dep
recates the indignation of the
Pacific. I am not surprised at the
course of the administration. 1
supposed we had its adhesion to
the principle of the bill, but .it is
ill lnmriMci' iirlimli Tc li-i,Ll ii.itm
. i n i i ii it i
expected. It abandoned the blacks 1
inik snnil, tn ilmir tutn rl col.

-Jishly threw away the republican
party there. It is naturally reck--less
"when the interests of free
labor on the Pacific are at stake,
and sacrifices without remorse the
republican party there. I had
"rather have twenty years of demo
cratic rule and be rid of this Chi
nese curse than a century of such
republicanism as that of this ad
ministration "with unresricted Chi
nese immigration. Haves was de
termined from the first to veto this
bill and was bound to find some
pretense on which it can be done.
All his pretended opposition to the
Chinese was designed to rupture
the Pacific senators on such mat
ters as the Xew York nominations.
-It was never founded on convic
tion and vanished the moment
,.,,,. i ,, ' i i
any clamor was raised. A great
work has been clone by congress
and destroyed by Hayes. The
only advantage left is the instruc-
tion of the country, making the
jvork easier in the future, i hope
he California senators will keen
up the fight, for in time they will!

felt by the doctrinairies. I hope
the people of California will calmly
bide their time, which must come.
The great obstacle in this fight has
been prejudice exerted by the in
temperate utterances of some o
the anti-Chinese partisans. That
has been a powerful lever working
in and out of congress.
A Son of Lord 1'yin
Ylifs the Grove on a Secret Mission.
Cerr. Washington County I rtdepemlent.
An English gentleman repre
senting himself to be a son of
Lord Pym of England, was out
here recently and made a tour of
the coast range mountains and ex
pressed himself well pleased with
the fine timber and rich soil which
he saw. He was particularly
pleased with the timber. One tree
that had fallen, and upon which he
sat to contemplate the grand sight
of noble firs around him, he meas
ured and fon-nd its length to be
300 feet and Si feet in diameter.
After looking at the same for a
few moments he said, "That would
make a line walking-stick for some
of our London swells," and added,
'"This is indeed the finest timber;
in the world. 1 he grove of fine
cedar, maple and ash, as well as
the valleys of rich soil on Gales,
and Dairy creeks and jSTehalem
river with their abundance of deer,
elk and small game, were wonder
ful to him, presenting scenes he
said he never could forsret.
"While in the vicinity of Dairy
creek he enjoyed the hospitality
of the genial though somewhat
eccentric Dutchman, Nicholas
Christ, whose heart is always
warm and who is ever ready to ex
tend a welcome to the weary
traveler.
Capt. Tyler of this place accom
panied Mr. Pym in his examination
of the country and speaks of him
in the highest tonus, but will not
reveal anything about the business
of this scion of the British aristoc
racy out here. It is surmised
however that Mr. Pym has been
sent out here bv some English
capitalists who design either to
buy up the Oregon Central rail
road land grant between Forest
Grove and Astoria or to take the
land in security for money
they intend to lend to build
the branch road from- here
to Astoria. The failure of the
great Glasgow bank together with
other extensive bank and mercan
tile failures in England have unset
tled the confidence of capitalists
in the "fast anchored Isle" and
they are looking in our coiintn
for more safe investments. This
visit of Mr. Pym to this district is
a hopeful precursor of improve
ments in this direction. Interest
is growing here in the superior in
ducements held out by the advan
tages of the Coast range for settle
inent, and it must be said that a
number of our sharp-sighted busi
ness men and landless farmers are
investing in these lands. Mr. Pvm
intends to return here next Octo
ber. Surprised at Astoria.

dock at Astoria, I was somewhat sur
prised to notice a number of gentle
men wearing the badge of mourning
for a brother Odd Fellow, and nt the
same time a gentleman at nj side re
marked to me that there was a dele
gation of members of the lodge
come down to receive a distin
guished visitor of that order. In
a few minutes they camG on board
and I was introduced to brothers I.

"Woman's Influence.
TTKITTEX TOR THK JISTORIAX.J
Woman whether she will or not
influences others, and to do this for
good she herself should be under the
best of influence. Woman is a great
teacher but to teach well she must her
self be well taught. How potent and
practical her influence and her teach
ing are, those know best who know
most of the world and human nature.
We learn much from woman; and T
pity the ignorance and conceit of that
man who fancies that he has nothing
more to learn from a gifted, talented
cultivated member of the gentie sex.
The mission of woman is. and has been
from the beginning, to influence and
teach men for good and for this they j
have received God given capacities.
It should be the gloiy of the woman
that she was sent into this world to
live for others, rather than for her
self; and therefore I should say let her
smallest rights be respected her small
est wrongs redressed. But never
let woman forget that her call
ing is not the lower and more
earthly one of self-assertion, but the
higher and diviner calling of self-sacrifice
and let her never desert that
higher life which lives in others and
for others, like the blessed redeemer
her dear Lord. Some say that this
doctrine would keep woman a depen
dant and a slave. .Not se: it would
keep her what she should be, the
mistress of all around her, because
mistress of herself. Woman when
herself can show a greatness and a
strength, a magnanimity and a royalty,
which though tiiey keep her gentle,
loving and kind, make her a queen in
the power she exerts. Woman's
mission is to influence and teach man.
To show him after all that his calling
is the same as hers, if he will but see
the things which belong to his peace.
To temper his fiercer, coarser, more
self-assertive nature by the contact of
her gentleness, purity and self-sacrifice.
To make him see that not by
blow of trumpets, nor by noise of
wrath, greed, ambition, intrigue and
puffery, is good and lasting work to be
doneon earthy but by wise self-distrust,
by silent labor, by self-control by that
beautiful charity which hopeth all
things, believeth all things. This is
truly the divine mission of her woman
hood, t
Spring: Salnion.
Under this heading the Vancouver
Independent says:
"We are informed that the spring
run of- salmon has commenced at As
toria, and the fishermen who have
procured licenses are now hauling in
over the boat's side dozens of fresh
shining fish. This first run will in all
probability be of short duration, as
the Columbia is rising very rapidly,
which will check the run. At the
canneries all is life and -activity. The
tin shops are turning out thousands of
cans to be used during the coming
season t
If Bro. Beeson could oaly look 'Kpon
the demure countenances of our can
nerymen, hiding the very vivacity
which he seems to depict, he would
say there is verT Kttle poetry in the
fact. The shining fish are all smelt,
there is very little activity calling for
salmon from any quarter of the globe
at present.
