Our Washington correspondent,
under date of the "J-lth, sends us
the following from the official rec
ords ot the treasury :
Trensutx DajMirtJnant. " , I
Soeond Ooiniitrollor a Office. .
Washington. D. O. April 23. Ism. J
Hon. II. r. French, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury
Sir. : Replying to your verbal sug
gestions in connection with tlio in
closed telegram in regard to lights on
the boats used at the fisheries on the
Columbia river, I have the honor to
present the following points for your
consideration :
The business in which these bouts
are engaged is local, and their purpose
is not voyaging up and down the
river, or across the river ; they arc not
journeying from place to place ; they
are not " navigating" the river m the
usual and ordinary sense of the word.
Hence they are not necessarily within
the letter of the act. They are not
within the spirit of the act because,
owing to the smallness of the boats,
no steamer or sailing vessel in dan
ger of being injured by collision with
them, ana because it wouiu ue uu
mental to the public interest to re
quire them to carry a light. The bus
iness does not require these boats to
be "anchored r moored in or near
the channel or fairway of the liver or
bay."
Section 4233 of the revised statute
mentions both vessels and boats sep
arately, recognizing a distinction be
tween them, and imposing different
and distinct obligations on each ; by
the ordinarv rules of constitution, the
words sailing vessels," in the same;
connection and in the following sec
tion, would not be hold to include
boats. Hence it is fair to conclude
that the penalty prescribed in the lat
ter section docs not apply to small,
open boats of the kind in question.
If, however, the failure of a boat of
this kind to carry a light should be
held to be a technical offense, within
the letter of the statute, I think the
nature of the business at the mouth
of the Columbia river is such as to
show that the faifure could not be con
sidered " wilful neirligence or fraud,"
and that, under section 5293 of the
revised statutes, the secretary of the
treasury can provide a simple and in
expensive mode of remitting the pen
alty, if any penalty exists. Very re
spectfully, W. W. UrroN.
In transmitting the above infor
mation to The Astoria x Cessoid
says:
It think it safe for you to express
the opinion that the secretary of the
treasury will not permit any penalty
in if pnfnwfirl for not carrvinir lights
on these boats. How ho will avoid it
is not yet settled, and I am not
authorized to speak for him. But I
ropeat, I think you may consider it
certain that no penalty will bo per
mitted to be enforced.

Clyde writes excellent letters
from Munich, to Uib mother in
Salem. We quote fiom one tear
ing date March 2d:
I hurdlv know what to write,
now I have begun, but think I will
tell vou first aV7ottt u picture that I
sawlto-night. The picture was a
l.n-.rr inirini viow. not the con
ventional murine, but a terrc-verte
colored sea half-way up the can
vas, the waves of which impressed
one as being as large as life, and
as wot and full of motion; they
were a wonderful color, and
splashed and tumbled all over the
canvas. At the edge of the water
the sky was a light silvery gray;
(the fashionable ky:j bomewnai
darker at the top. In the upper
right hand corner was a fishing
boat, so high that the vails were
cut off by the top of the picture.
It wsir froinir toward a little strip
of land, rolling and pitching, and
the water dripped oh the oars m
the most realistic way imaginable.
Tn thfi immediate foreground was
., o-n -itwl tho whole thinjr
seined as lanre as all outdoors
Tt had something of a Japan
ese effect, on account of the boat,
which was boldly put on at just
the right place. 1 want to see it
H-siinVit does one good to see
It is strange how people who
have received what is generally
known as a classical, or college, or
university education, look down
upon all who have not enjoyed
that blessed privilege, and yet the
so-called self-educated men show
a remarkable balance in their favor
when you come to sum up tnc
results of the respective activities
of the two classes. Here was
Schlieman for instance, who,
though purely j,elf-cducated, has
shown himself a better Greek and
Trojan than any of the classically
educated commentators of the
Iliad before him. Shakspeare, to
be sure, had, in his time, also sur
passed all writers on antiquity in
his knowledge of the Trojan war
riors and of the men of the first
and second Romish Triumvirate.
Aniin, here comes Edison, a pure
ly self-educated man of science.
How he was looked down upon
by the classically .nurtured men
of science! His quadrupling ot
the telegraph currents was
pronounced the dream of a
madman, his telephone a hum
bug, and his microphone a delus

Snow in Northern Iowa
Burlington llawkeje.
A correspondent who has just
made a trip up through the north
ern part of the state says that for
sixty miles east of Sheldon there
is no difference in the appearance
of the country from that of mid
winter, lie passed fully thirty
miles of snow cuts, the walls of
which in many places were wa
above the tops of the cars. The
people of Sanborn, Hartley, Spen
cer, Emmetsburg, Algona, and
other towns east of Sheldon have
been without sugar, kerosene, and
in some places even without can
dles, for manv weeks. Until
within the past few days there had
not been a train through that strip
of country since the 1st of Janu
ary. They had just begun to get
sugar, etc., as he passed through.
In many places the people have
been compelled to burn lumber for
fuel. It is a heavy stock county,
clothes hung out to dry. AYc stood

canal and 'looked down between
the houses. On either side of it

coming down the river from the
mountains on rafts with their stun

be old women along the bank
praying for them, for which the
men would throw them wood from
the rafts to pay them. One oftn
sees the old women praying -forn
the shrine and telling then-
beads, and 3 was told that they
are paid for praying in the church
es for business men who had not
time to pray for themselves. What
a saving institution that would be

that the question about the eco
nomical features of the electric
light scheme have not yet been
satisfactorily ascertained; but we
know this much, that electricity,
if operated on Edison's plan, can
furnish us a light at night substan
tially as good as ordinary daylight;
and, furthermore, a light which
cannot change into fire. This is
one of its greatest recommendations.
Ever since Tennyson wrote the
pathetic story of Enoch Arden and

King is vice-president of the com

The nreiudice in Enp-laud

British ports are in excellent condition.
of the governments represented in
the conference. The kings sub
jpcts weary of these piping times
of peace will brook no interference
with their manifest desire to pluck
the feathers of attenuated Turkey,
and threaten levolt if the terms of
the porte and the conference are
accepted. Upon the heels of this
trouble there treads the intimation
that the cabinet shares the inclina

presents the monarch as an object
not undeserving ot sympatuy.
The Herald and Review says of
the Sacramento river that the run
of salmon is unprecedented, giv
ing employment to a large number
of fishermen and some dozen can
neries. The quality of the salmon
is very superior, "not a whit inferior
to those canned upon the Columbia
river.1 We can never admit the
statement as to quality, but give it
up with respect to quantity. The
open fact stares us in the face that
if things do not improve here
bankruptcy is inevitable to many
whose prospects were bright a
month ago.

pride and live on the savings of
their wives second husbands. A
Pennsylvanian, however, has sud
denly wrought an improvement in
stories of this kind, for on return
ing to the bosom of his family
after an absence of fourteen years,
he brought with him quite a neat
little fortune. This is indeed a
nr nattern of a husband. If
there are any more of the same
kind floating about the country
and uncertain whether to return to
their old homes they can safely
throw doubt to the winds and re
appear. No oue will ask where
they have been or what they have
been doing if only they will come
back with plenty of money in their
pockets.
