(z) g&c gait) stofotu ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY 3TAT 1, 1883 Pointers. The Extradition Question. London-, April 29. The gov ernment will, it is understood, ask the United States for the extradi tion f twelve Irish conspirators, now in America. One report states that the request has already been made at "Washington. Offi cials already have had the matter under consideration for some weeks, and it is tacitly understood that whenever the English gov ernment shall make the request it will be unhesitatingly granted. Oregonian special. It is possible but by no means probable that the United States government will refuse to grant protection to its citizens and will do the bidding of a power that strangety enougli has with one ex ception dictated to this country on questions of public policy for nine ty years. Adams was the only minister that the United States ever had at the court of St. James that had sand enough to him to declare true American principles. Our present minister, James Rus sell Lowell, though a fine poet and a splendidly educated man, is too much imbued with snobbery, is too deeply versed in "Burke's Peer age" to more than mildly suggest that our country is not a sack of mucus; that it has an alleged back bone. He is now making speeches to show how all good Americans love and revere England; hu is applauded by his auditors. So was Gladstone applauded at New-castle-on-Tyne, when Lainl was turning out English vessels built in English waters, manned by English crews, made terrible hy English cannon, bought by English gold and which swept American commerce from the sea. The "grand old man" said: "We know quite woll that the people of the northern states have not 3ret drunk of the cup they are still trying to hold from their lips the cup which all the rest of the world see they nevertheless must drink. Jefferson Davis and other leaders of the south have made an army; that the' are making a navy, and that they have made what is more than either, they have made a nation. (Loud cheers.) "Vc may anticipate with certainty the success" of the southern states so far as regards their separation from lis north. (Great applause.) This was glcefull' prophesied when our distracted country was in the agonies of internecine strife. It well becomes our "government" to beg for instruction from over the sea, and almost anticipate English wishes in its zeal to get the good opinion of the "mother country." ft would seem as though had Lowell, Frelinghuysen. and Arthur been in power in JGS, that the United States of America would have ofTered an abject apol ogy to England for such presump tuous suggestion as "the Alabama claims." Insurance. Yestkkday's Oregonian "gives awaj" a clever and secret little scheme of San Francisco insurance managers to put up rates in Port land and give them absolute con trol cf the entire business. This matterof insurance is one that has always affected Astoria in a pro portionate degree. Our business men feel that a business which is worth carrying on is worth insur ing; but the rates which wc are now compelled to pay are out rageous. "But look at the risk!" say the companies. Well, look at it. Were Astoria to burn up this morning the insurance companies would be ahead. There is no city on the coast that has paid insur ance companies as well as Astoria has. The rates, singularly enough are higher to-day with the best fire department north of San Fran cisco, than than they were when Astorians depended on the bucket brigade and the climate. Were we to buy another engine the ratio would suggest putting on an additional two per cent. Extensive crop reports from all parts of California show that the wheat is in excellent condit ion. It is thought that despite the partial drouth increased acre age will bring the crop up to fully that of last year. The loaded steamship San JPedro, crashed into the New T&coma wharf last Sunday, and damaged it $2,000 worth. Ox account of the rapid increase of trade a vessel will hereafter sail every Friday from San Francisco for Victoria. In the St. Johns river, Florida, a 1,000-pound sun "fish has been taken. A big fish for a small river. The Mexican government de nies the report that Americans cannot acquire land in that coun try. An eccentric steamboat on the Mississippi is called The Good Rule, because it works equally well both ways. When a politician declares pos itively and with exceeding warmth that he is not a candidate, somehow his friends don't know what to think about it. The house of lords is composed of hereditary land owners, who collectively own 14,258,527 acres of land, whose collective incomes are about 15,000,000. The big redwood trees of Cali fornia are overtopped by the pep permint trees of Australia, one of which, according to recent meas urement is 480 feet high. The New York Times and JPost, the Albany Journal and the Buf falo JZcpress, four of the most in fluential republican newspapers of the empire state, faror a radical reduction of the tariff. It is estimated that there are 18,000,000,000 feet of white pine now standing in the lower penin sula of Michigan, while in the up per peninsula there are probably not less than 5,000,000,000 feet. The postal cards are made at Holyoke, Mass., by forty men, who turn out a million daily. They have diminished the con sumption of writing paper by from $l2,000,000,to $15,000,000 a year. The highest trestle on the lino of the Northern Pacific is that across Coriacan defile, about twelve miles west of Missoula, M. T. When finished the track level will be three hundred feet in the air. The Republican party has had charge of the treasury of the United States for over twenty three years. The $100,000,000 the treasury contains has just been counted and was found to be short one single nickel. After July 1st the commissioner of internal revenue will return checks and drafts imprinted with the two cent stamp, with the word "Redeemed" stamped upon each. This will enable banks to use the stamped cheeds after their re demption. According to recent London advices the winter in Iceland has been remarkably mild and favora ble for stock farmers; the alleged famine has not made its appear ance, the fishing in all parts of the island has been and continues un commonly good, and Hecla is not in eruption. The Galveston News is convinc ed that the democratic party can have nothing but discomfituie and confusion before it in 1SS4 unless it is marshaled by clear-headed and steady-handed leaders who will save it from the blunderers and professional hacks, under whose management it has so often met disaster and defeat. The Tucson, (xVrizona) Citizen heads a list with $90 for a fund to be placed in a bank at Tucson as a reward for the recovery of little Charley McComas, son of the late Judge McComas. Charley was captured by the Apaches after they had murdered his father and mother at Thompson's station, New Mexico, on the 28th of March last. Contributions are solicited throughout the Pacific states and territories. A fresh Boston Transcript re porter was sent out among the fishermen to get "points" as to the season's prospects, etc. He re turned late at night with a coun tenance highly illuminated with spring smiles and bringing the single piece of information that the reason why a fisherman car ries a flat bottle with him is that he may wait for a bite with baited breath. This from the Boston Tran script contains a conundrum that puzzles many a philosopher through life: "A father was ad vising his very small son not long ago against the sin of selfishness that he must never hesitate to grant favors and be generally obliging whenever he could. The boy lis tened, then said: "I would like to do everything you tell me, father; but there's a fellow at school just like what you've des cribed. Everybody says he' an obliging fellow, but nobocly not oven the teacher trcates him as if he was any account. Now I don't want people to take me for a no-account fellow!" One characteristic of this queer world is brought out in colors by the Philadelphia Neics when it says: "Herr Most talked for an hour on Saturday night on the beauties of murder, arson and robbery, receiving for his labor 38.50. Had he preached a ser mon on faith, hope and charity he might have raked in 75 cents or probably 85 cents." tun tHU !HOUnHHaJ. 2- W. C2J3.32SU BROKER.. BANKER a2:d INSURANCE AGENT. ASTORIA, - - - OREGON OFFICE HOURS: FROM 9 O'CLOCK A. St. UNTIL :i O'CLOCK P. il. England is doing in a more hu mane manner what Cromwell sug gested 250 years ago. The steamer Catalonia which arrived at Boston from Liverpool last Sunday, had 1,200 steerage passengers, most of whom had their passage paid by the British government. The Allan line brought S00 to the same port, the same day. Five hun dred of the last mentioned were Irishmen. Pixley will have to get out a supplement for the Argonaut when he hears this. SEruETARY Lincoln is too offi cious. He declines to authorize the improvement of certain Cali fornia rivers. This gentleman is talked of as a probable republican candidate. If nominated he will be a good man to beat, no mat ter what ticket he should be on It is thought that the snubbing of the dynamite faction at the rcent Irish-American convention at Philadelphia will result in call inr another convention, where the extremists will take care to exer cise parliamentary control. lie mutual taw Co.
