m gate gjailj JVsfeTCion- ASTORIA. OREGON: IK C. IRELAND. Editor. May 21, 1S79. WEDNESDAY. Do or Die. A few days ago, iu the course of a conversation with one of the most prominent gentlemen identified with the business of Portland, we were in formed that lie and his associates h;.d tried repeatedly, for a full quarter of a century, to get a hold and become identified with Astoria interests, but had been defeated every time by ex actions, threats of law suits, etc., etc., which they could not, and woid not tolerate. We regretted the fact; and have since learned that Gar. Alien tried hard to secure property here many years ago, in the interest of the steamship company. Finally went to St. Helens, and lastly to Portland which made that city. A new era is now about to dawn upon this city. Let people be liberal now, else we go over ten, fifteen or twenty years be yond the present, hoping against fate. .This is a matter plainly submitted for careful consideration. Texas Society. The governor of Texas has with drawn all rewards otfercd by him, and has established a state police, whereby the law-abiding citizens may be pro tected, and the out-law brought to justice. Just how this will work, has yet to be learned. By this decree, about $100,000 in rewards have been abrogated, which was offered for three hundred murderers. Besides this, four hundred and fifty murderers are advertised for whom the state offers no rewards. It also has seven hun dred and fifty indicted horse-thieves at large, and in addition to these mur ders and horse-thieves, advertises for two thousand other fugitives. It is an open question whether the state police, for a stated salary, will use that vigilance in securing arrests of persons, which would otherwise be se cured by the incentive of a good round reward. Cincinnati Police Qualification. An ambitious young man from a back country village in Indiana, re cently wrote to the Cincinnati chief of police for a place on the force. In answor to this the American detective nays: "It requires schooling in ward politics, and ability to marshal a squad or two of voters at the polls, and th willingness and patience to hear disap pointment after disappointment, while. waiting outside the room of the police l commissioners, before much blues and brass can be realized even upiMi the best promises oi reward in this city." A Modern Eden- There is a town in Connecticut which has no debt, but has quite a sum of money drawing interest, which helps to lighten the taxes. Such at least .is the report which might be believed if it did not go on to say that in this modern Eden there is no difetillcry, no place where liquor is sold, no court house, no jail, neither doctor, lawyer, constable, or policeman, and only three paupers. The admission of the three paupers dissipates that the township hud n population. The nanus of this model town is New Fairfield. There are indications that sent: mentalisin is dying out in the land of Byron. Tcmryson and Dickens. The British house of commons shows as little regard for the finer emotions as might be expected of a committee of Yorkshire farmers. It has passed a bill declaring in favor of the abolition of actions for breach of promise of marriage, except where actual pecuni ary loss h.4S resulted from such breach. Broken hearts and ruined lives, and -all that sort of thing, are ruled out. We feared something of this nature might .hxppen when the author of "Lucille' was sent out of the country to govern India. "Owen Meredith" .ahouid hasten hack co his native isle. Joaquin Miller comes home a broken .man but just "think of the fun" ho has had. traveling in England, .Jerusalem, and wandering nri the Nile, registering himself "Joaquin Miller, Oregon. He has supreme .. iii.ir.i c contempt and hatred for the press of this stato. It is too bad.: . . 'rS.r.rir "Rev." Joseph T. Inmnn. Something told us to say: "Not for Joseph;'" -when we were solicit ed and urged by J. II. Bates, 41 Park Row, Ne wYork, to insert an advertisement for Rev. Joseph T. Ininan. Joseph was so sweet on the "errors of youth,"11 early indis cretion," Moss of manhood," etc., that we put him down at once for a fraud, and now we are rewarded by a detailed exposure of the fel low, in the knaves column of the American Detective for April, from which we quete: Wu are surprised to find at this late dar, in a journal edited by a clergy limn, who would not knowingly help a swindle of any kind, an advertisement, displayed in the leaded type, in which this man "Rev." Joseph T. lnman proposes to send this recipe f course jr?c to those answering the advertise ment. The "recipe," accompanied by four pages of fiddle-faddle, setting forth all about it, is as follews: Ex r.ict of Corrassa Apiinis S Drs. Extract of .Selanuo I'lnbeliteni.. 4 Powdered Alkei mes LiitiMia. " . . ? " Extract of Carsadoc llcrbalis (5 ' Then follow directions for fixing and mixing and taking the stuff, which he calls the "corrassa compound. "The Rev. Joe tells the story of the errors of his youth, which we am readily be lieve, considering how he goes on now that lie is no longer young; tells how he went as a missionary to South America (poor savages!); how he dis covered the ' corrassa compound;" how bad he was before he took it. how he got well, and how he was "con vinced that it was his sacred duty to make known the discovery of this remedy for the benefit of suffering hu manity." They are all taken with this sense of dut. How this duty appears to Joe, can be read in his directions how to obtain the corrassa compound. Joe, the reverend says: As the druir stores cannot be relied up pon to procure new remedies of quality, I can forward the corrasa compound, etc. And that accounts for the milk in Joe's cocoanut. Send only S3 50 and yon are all right. Try to get it at the drug stores, and you are all, wrong. dacred duty is a mg tiling at 3 50 a time. !Now lnman knows that this iC recipe' is a1 1 stnlf and nonsense tie knows that those names, "corwm apimis" and all the rest, have their origin only in what we will, as a convenient word, call his brain, and he knows as we do, that ever3T so-called "new remedy" in his "recipe" is like himself a miser able fraud, a humbug that the things named in this "recipe" are not known in medicine, in pharmacy, or in bot any; they are bunglingly made up, and have not the semblance of proba bility, and are so far unlike the real names of real things that they adver tise his ignorance and stupidity. The youngest clerk in a drugstore could have suggested more real like names than the utterly stupid ones he has chosen. A . curious thing connected with Joe's circular is that a Frenchman in Canada, in his singleness of heart, should find it "disgraceful that a ' Iteverer.dVhonidbe in such business." 'Reverend,' bless yon, that title is no more true than the names to his drugs. Joe is no reverend, or he would not lie so. Our French corres pondent, whe is perfectly familiar with Paris, referring to one of the "Uev." Joe's certificates, f a doctor in Paris, says there is no such person there. Of course not. YW may be excused for agai n referring to the status of Thk As toiiiax upon this matter of adver tising for knaves. The press of Oregon is overrun will all kinds of the most contemptible swindles, from patent milking machines to pianos; of patent medicines and quack doctors; and whenever any person takes the trouble to inquire j into these matters they find that the readers of the papers are not only swindled, but the publishers themselves are, about nine times in ten defrauded out of the payments promised. And until publishers resolve, and stick to their res- olutioii, no(jr to deviate ironi the rule of cash to accompany the order and at the usual rates, will .yj c, .. wv.l. vro ,..w.
