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
