'" T ST-"1 -V-- '- (I) 021011 Vol. xvi. Astoria, Oregon, " Saturday Morning, March l'J, 1882. tfo. 136, icf.-fr-r,- -rp-r-K - Pftllg THE SUGAR QUESTION. Oregon, if it fights the Hawaiian treaty, will- make a great mistake, and should it succeed, will make a mistake it will some day bitterly regret. There is every prospect that che population of Oregon wilt, in a few years, equal or ex ceed that of California to-day. When that time comes or before, it will desire, perhaps, to refine its own sugar, or at least to import its own grocery grades and ship cattle, horses, mules, lumber, hay and feed iu return. That it is not do ing so now is because it has not population enough to warrant capi talists building a rcfinerv, but that day will come, and tho trade of Oregon merchants, farmers, lum bermen, etc., will then, by all the laws of trade, be com mensurate with their importations. Is- there no man in Oregon wise enough to see five years ahead to see into the future. S. F. Mer chant. Oregon wo apprehend, looks to the present, and while wo concede that tho treaty is a most excellent one for the few sugar refiners in San Francisco, it is no benefit to the consumer. But let our friend of the Bay City, go far enough to demand that the duty on sugar shall be removed whether it be raised by Claus Spreckles or not. The present treaty creates a mo nopoly only in the interest of his refinery, and is no good to any one else. It does not increase the price of sugar at the islands and consequently increase the produc tion and supply. It is to the in terest of San Francisco to maintain this reaty, but not to the rest of the country. Wo pay as high for su gar in Oregon as they do in the East, notwithstanding the duty is off. Let-tho duty be removed en tirely on sugar, and wo would soon have a refinery here and the article sold in our markets from three to five cents less on the pound. Tbi treaty :s making one mau and his corporation very wealthy, and tho people have to pay him tho profits while the government loses that much. Of course the people of San Francisco can afford this extra tax. Tho other parts of tho coast have to contribute and they get the profits in giving employment to hundreds of men. It is a nice thing for that place, but not good for the people or the government. Standard. Not an Asylum. Tho Chinese question is again up in Congress, and again the New England humanitarians aro slob bering over the Celestial. In re ply to the clear and logical pre sentation of facts made by General Miller in his speech, Senator Hoar, of Massacbusstts, has repeated his extraordinary mixture of sentiment and soDhistrv. It is much the same as was his speech of last year tho "fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man" idea. This .nation is, according to Senator Hoar, an asylum for the oppressed of every nation, kindred, and tongue. If it over was, it has ceased to be. Wo have enough of our own kindred and tongue to provide for. If wo count the Hoars, and others of that stripe, wo have too many. The Massa chusetts senator further holds that "every human being has the right to earn an honest living every where upon tho surface of tho earth that ha chooses to go, with out interference from any govern ment." That depends Very much upon circumstances. If a wander ing human being let us say Mr. Hoar should wander into a land where there were other human beings who. did not want him, they bftvn a ri?ht to bid him cro. If Mrv Hoar, for instance, should -wandor to Pitcairn island, where there isr scarcely room " or susten ance for tho present .small popula tion, the Pitcairn Islanders would have a perfect right to request Mr. Hoar to travel. Self-preservation is the first law of nature with nations as well as with indi viduals. It is time that wo in America wore passing out of tho sucking-bottle and pap stage of nationhood. It is time that wo were laying aside tho possibly ro mantic bat certainly absurd ideas of our youth. This country is not an asylum for the world's paupcis. It is not an asylum for thu op pressed of other lands. It is for Americans. When tho race of old women of both sves who miunder about its being otherwise shall have died out, we shall hear no more talk in this direction. Fortunately, being epicene, they can leave no posterity to inherit their views. Chang and Eng. In answer to a correspondent who writes to "Bill Nye for infor mation on the above subject, ho has compiled the following infor infer infor mateon: Eng and Chang wero born simultaneously, on the loth day of April, 1811, and died at the ago of sixty-three yearn. They were connected together by a pat ent coupler, which entered the body of each iu tho region of the vest-pocket. This connecting ar rangement necessarily threw them a groat deal in each others' society. When they were boys their lives were rendered moro or less un happy by their widely different tastes. "Eng was very fond of sour apples in his youth, and when at niglit lie rolled and tumbled upon his couch, with a large stock ol colic on Hand, Unang had to no awano and get tnc nenent. .Later in life Ohanglevelopeaa'strrtngeHKppgdincr grounds bordering on longing lor the uowing oowi, while Eng was a Good Templar. When Eng went to the lodge, tho worthy outside guard would refuse to lot Chang in, because he couldn't givo the pass-word, and as Eg 458,502 skins, and from 1842 to couldn't go in aid leave the ante- iS6l, 372,000 skins. In tho year room, ho had to go home and,i868 tho number of skins taken wait till another meeting. Eng was 42,000. In 1870 only 9,9G5 was a Mason and Chang was ajWero captured. During the last Knight of Pythias, and they used ' ton years tho catch has been a to give each other awaysomctimc3, littlo less than 100,000 per year, and have lots of fun. Eng was a jThe'wholo number taken between Half-breed and Chang was a Stal wart, and that made it bad about attending concusses. Chang joined tho Episcopal Church and believed in sprinkling, while Eng was a Baptist, and not only got immersed himself, but fixed it so that Chang had his sins washed away at the same tune. Once in a while Chang would got an invitation to a pri - vate party in a set . to which Eng did not belong, and then they lud to settle the question by putting Etruscan noses on e"ach other as to whether they should go or re-J main at home. Chans died first. and Eng died a few hours later as a matter of courtesy. Eng was not prepared to dio, and regretted that ho was not consulted before tho itnportaut step .was taken, but he said it would save the expense of two funerals, and he wanted to do what was right. The lives of these two men wero somewhat pe culiar in many respects. There were many littlo nameless annoy ances to which each was compelled to submit, and whicli would not at Grst occur to the student. For instance, Chang had to get up and go for the doctor in company with Eng whnever Eng's children had the croup; and whenever Chang's wife thought there was a ou-rgiar m the woodshed, Eng had to get up in his night shirt, and go with his brother in search of tho villain. They couldn't ride the festivo veloci pede, and when Chang got biling drunk Eng would go tho jug with him, and stay there till the fine was paid. Among th many bless ings which cluster about us, and are showered down upon us through life, we are prone to lose sight of the fact that with all our sorrows and disappointments, we were not born Siamese twins. To Keep the Giila "Warm. A seal-skin sacquo oos-tt. fifty per cont. mora than it did fUe years ago. Seal-skins have not been worn more than fifteen or eighteen vears. Fashion and tho discoveiy of new methods of pre paring and dyeing, or first tho lat ter and second tho former, brought them into uso. The seal fur, as seen here, is t'ue inner coat. When on tho back of the seal this fino fur is hidden by coarso hairs, which are removed by a process of paring down the under side of tho skin. The color of the iur as known to wearers is artificial. If the gov ernment had not taken measure, to protect the seal, new wearers of seal sacques would be few in a short time. Tho Shotland seals were once numerous, but have been exterminated. Tho New foundland seal is in the market, but is inferior to tho seal of Alas ka. The islands of the Behring Sea are the only ones in tho world where seal catching has great com mercial importance. From 1751 to 1870 the scientific world knew nothing in regard to the history of the seal. The Smith soman Institute did not possess a perfect skin and skeleton of the soal) although thousands of men )aml mniions of dollars have been employed in capturing, dressing and seiling fur seal-skin for tho jast hundred years. Tho vast & Antarctic have been entirely depopulated. Beiween the years 1797 and 1821 1,233,374 soal skins were taken in tho Pribyloy Islands: between 1821 and 1842, 179G and 1880 was 3,5G1,051 skins. The seal catching is done in June and July. After that time the fur begins to "shed," and is worthless. j Tho natives are paid forty cents a ' skin for their labor. j - Hoalth m Middle Age. At the age of thirty-five, says ' a writer in the Family Doctor, j mankind, according to some erai- nont authorities, is said to havo j reached tho meridian of life, while others name forty as tho middle years of our earthly existence, ' But be tho case as it mav. no ono who has taken the ordinary means to preserve bis health in youth and early manhood should feel other than young at tho ago of forty five, from which period until that of sixty, if lifo be spared to us, wo shall do well to consider our selves middle-aged, and to adopt greater precautions for the preser vation of health and consequent happiuess, than might havo been deemed necessary when youth was on our side. And if this is done, the period of middle ago should be one of tho greatest activity of both body and mind. What though the hairs aro turning grav? That but shows one has suffered sorrow 'and survived it, or that, sorrow apart, he is a man who thinks. And what though tho limbs be not quite so nimble? Calm enjoyments foster habits of that true temper ance which conduces to long life and contentment more than any thing else in tho world; and what ever some may say to the contrary, I maintain thai the desire to live long is inherited in every healthy sane man or woman. To die 6f old ago is the only natural death, and if death may overTio said to be pleasant, the only pleasant ono. Though younger than some of my professional brethren still in har ness, I have nevertheless seen death in many shape;, and forms, aud in almost every case 1 have found the aged more resigned to tho in evitable than those less advanced in years. For a well spent life is like a well-spent day at its clo?e there is a wish for rest. Kastern Oytttcrp. Another fine lot of Eastern Oj iters just lecclved at Iloscwi, per steamer Oregon.
