Done Bbown. Some time ago a party
of gentlemen of communistic turn of
mind divided among themselves sundry
loads of ham, flour, canned goods, etc.,
the supposed property of a Portland
grocer and deftly loading it on board a
aoow that 'was pressed into the service
floated away down the placid "Willamette.
The grocer, whose consent was not sought,
made objection and the minions of the
law tracked the bold buccaneers who hau
thus put info practice the principles they
preached. It was finally discovered thai
they had gone gaily down the Columbia
and up the Cowlitz where the scow was
moored and the party had gone in for a
season of unrestrained hilarity. The
polios appeared just as the interesting
crowd were enjoying their evening meal,
and upon seeing the officers they made a
-break for the timber that grows in suoh
luxuriant abundance along the Cowlitz'
romatic banks. The policemen brought
the soow and what was left of the ham,
flour, etc., back to the metropolis, ana
also a description of the thieves. Yester
day Sheriff Twombly got a dispatch from
Sheriff Sears of Portland, asking him to
arrest a party named Brown for alleged
complicity in the transaction. He was
fdund working on board a steamer here,
and will go to Portland this morning,
there to answer to charges preferred.
CiojlBB ahd Soda. "Watsb. At a late
hour Taesday night, John Wiseman was
arrested for alleged violation of the ordi
nance prohibiting the employment of
women or girls in any place where liquor
is sold to ba drank on the premises. The
oase cams up in the police court yester
day afternoon, th9 defense alleging that
there was no liquor being sold at the
time the arrest was made, the company
being regaled with such harmless refresh
ments as cigars and soda water. The
city attorney asked for time to look up
authorities on the subject, it appearing
to be an evasion of the law, yet consti
tuting a question as to the possibility of
convicting under the provisions of the
ordinance. So the case was continued
till Saturday afternoon.
Pobexqx Salmon Notes. The country
demand for salmon shows a decided im
provement, and the market has a harden
ing tendency. Some considerable sales
have been been made at prices last quot
ed, and holders are much firmer in their
ideas, and we have not the least doubt
but that bottom has at last been reached.

Senator Dolph does not believe that
congressional declaration of forfeiture of
a land grant is conclusive upon the com

The political contest in Oregon may
now be said to be fairly started. In few
states is there a beHer opportunity for
the display of real statesmanship. The
two great parties are about equal in ad
nerjnts. The balance of power lies with
a large class of independent voters, who
will not be led by more party names, but
by the party who gives the best assur
ance of honesty and efficiency. Weston

script. The education of tho young is not a
mere commercial matter a question of
dollars and cents. It occupies the far
higher plane of a duty which parents owe,
not oniy to their children, bat to the
whole community, since the question of
having our future citizens educated or
ignorant is one of vital importance to the
country. Hence, we say that no question
of mere economy should enter into the
discussion of educational matters, farther
than the public is entitled to see that it
gets tbe fullest possible return for the
money it expends. Seattle Herald.
The purifying influence of women in

illustrated in this state during tho com

cussion before the National Womun't.

adopted the very practical method of as

We are told that if the grant in aid of

Property Rights of Hasband and Wife.
Astobia, March 12, 1834.
Ed. Astebian:
What portion of a man's property can
his wife claim in case of separation, be
having accumulated the above property
previous to marriage? Please answer in
your wide-spread journal, and oblige
INQDIBER.
As we understand it the question of
"property"' is in tho above the most im
portant one. In a separation, real estate
is the only kind of property that would,
in law, cut any figure in tho case. Were
a divorce procured, the party decided by
the court to be in fault would have
awarded to him ox her one-third the real
estate. In the case of children there
would also come the question of main
tenance, and as a matter of equity the
awarding of alimony to the wife would in
most cases be considered. In case of "a
separation," where tho understanding
was a mutual one, it does not seem to u&
that any regular course is followed, the
matter being arranged as best suits the
purpose or convenience of tho couple sep
arating. If the property accumulated
before marriage be real estate, its accu
mulation prior to marriage would count
for nothing.

THK RICHEST MAX IX AMERICA,
Bat With sb Intense Dislike for Sews
papers. 'He will see you," said Mr. Vander
bilt's footman yesterday morning, in a
low, soft voice to a Journal reporter as
ho led the way through tho groat hall of
tbe money king's mansion. Surprise,
perhaps wonder, was in the f ootman'B
glance as ho repeated, "He will see you
himaolf " Tlion Tin rtcharp.A the rnnnrivr
into a little parlor overlooking the wide
entrance.
In a low easy chair drawn close to on
inlaid table sat Mr. Vanderbilt. He had
evidently laid down a nowspaper hastily.
He lolled back luxuriously in the chair
and glanced at the reporter's card through
a pair of gutta-percha-bound eye-glasses.
Holding tho card extended in his left
hand, with a look of astonishment on
usually smiling countenance, he ex
claimed in a rather gruff veice:
"Morning Journal, hey?"
"The same, Mr. Vanderbilt."
"I see," .said the millionaire, dropping
un inch lower in his chair. "I don't read
it ah that is, soma of my friends hand
me clippings from it on matters personal
to myself quite often."
"Don't you generally read the papers,
Mr. Vanderbilt."
A iook of scorn passed over his face as
he answered in a deeper tone than he had
previously used:
"I don't exactly read them. I glanoe
over one or two sometimes. There," sid
he, pointing to a pile of four or five ly
ing on the carpet beside his chair, "are a
few, and I am ashamed to say they're
here ashamed to let my friends know
I read them. Ssarcaly can I pick up a
paper without seing something exceed
ingly disagreeable to m& in it."
"iou ore frequently done justice, are
you not?"
"Justice? TJjaphl J-u-s-t-i-ce!" and
Mr. Vanderbilt rose from his chair and
placed tbe eye-glasses on his nose with a
snap, gluncng sharply at the reporter,
and centinued:
"It's not a frjqaent occurrence, if they
ever do me justice."
Advancing to the fire-place ho leaned
toward the table and snapped the large
sopaz fob-charm once with his thumb be
fore straightening up again.
"You order your papers yourself don't
you?"
"My butler buys the papers and pays
for them, I've nothing to do with the or
dering of them. Now, speaking of news
papers, I consider it the meanest busi
ness a man can be in. What is a news
paper editor, I'd like to know? I'll tell
you what he is: He is a man who spares
no one. He is feared by till. Why, it'tj
no use for prominent men to say they
don't care a d n for newspapers. They
do."
"Who would think they were so terri
ble, Mr. Vanderbilt?"
"A newspaper man has the advantage
of every one. He comes to you, who are
unprotected,and with a paper at his back
can do with you as he pleases. They
control politics; and speaking of poli
tics, I was once a politician myself in a
small way on Staten Island, though I
don't interest myself much in it at the
present time. 1 used to have fun when
t was a politician down there."
"What is your view of the coming
campaign?"
"This: I think the tariff question will
be the chief issue, and altuough I am
not a free trader exactly, I'm not far
from it. This high tariff business is ad
nonsense; for instance, I want an ele
gant Persian carpat; I buy one in Europe,
see? Well, I pay a duty on it that's all
right; but whon it comes to paying dut
on steel, that's too much. It's putting
mouey by the handful into the manufac
turers' pockets, who are growing rich.
But my chief objection is this: The
government is paying off its debt too
fast,' and the natural consequent is the
people won't have so much interest in u
government they don't own stock in."
"Don't tho people, as a rule, interest
themselves in the government?"
"How can the', I say, when they
haven't a dollar of its dobt? They can't.
.Now, there's a big mistake made by
many prominent men. They think the
mow all."
"I don't exactly catch your meaning,"
ventured the scribe.
"This is it. For instance, a feller
thinks he can play billiards; see?"
"Yes."
"Well, he finds some One else who plays
better, and he concludes ho don't care
much for billiards; see?"
And stepping up to the reporter he
tapped him lightly on the shoulder and
with a playful wink whispered: "You
understand?'
"Still, don't you think tho peoplo re
spect the government?"
"Respect! Look at the president."
"How much respect do they show the
president to what they used to? UmphI"
And regaining his chair he shrugged his
nose and down came the eye-glasses in
nis broadcloth lap.
"Why, sir; in days past tbe president
was always considered the smarccst and
ablest man of the nation; now he is
what?"
"But, Mr. Arthur?" asked the aston
ished reporter.
"Ah, Arthur; yes, Pve known Arthur a
number of years. He's a good, I may say
nice, fellow, but Mr. Lincoln was the
man, the greatest ever produced by this
country, and it's a pity he didn't serve it
longer."
"For whom did you vote last eleotion,
Mr. Vanderbilt?"
"Last election? Let me see. Oh, yes:
there was Garfield and Arthur runnins;
igainst who was the other candidate?
Ah, yes; General Hancock. Well. I was
in Europe before the eleotion and decided
to vote for Hancock, as he is an honest
v-e-r-y honest man; but when I reached
this country 1 altered my mind and voted
for Garfield."
"Why this change, Mr. Vanderbilt?"
"The change wa3 natural, since, as you
know in this countrv everything changes
every three months.'
"What caused the change in your par
ticular opinion?"
"That Muine question, the tariff and
excise, caused me to vote as 1 did, though
1 considered Hancock elected till that
came up. Now, I don't say "anything
about Garfield, not at all, and I consider
Arthur a good president." -
"Di not the people make a good choice
usually?'
l ue American people jump too much
at favorites. It's their fault. They lug a
man from tbe battle-field, set him in the
White bouse and think he'll do just as
well there as at fighting."
"You refer to General"
"Oh, no, I don't mean Grant particu
larly; but speaking of General Grant (and
1 know him very wed), Grant bia greatly
improved since his trip around the world
greatly improved."
"I never considered him a man of any
great ability, but he has learned many
thin, '3 and gotten new ideas that have
proved of great use to him."
Tnis was said with real benevolence and
put Mr. Vanderbilt in excellent humor
wita himself.
"Ah," hi continued, "he's a silent man.
That goes a long way. People make mis
takes nowadays. Thoyknow too much.
xuuy ia.ui iuu mucn. now, a man to D3
a smart man must be a 'know-nothin','
thev're the best."
Here Mr. Vanderbilt arose aud laughed
with tremendous glee. The reporter,
dodging his swinging arms, joined in the
laugh.
"In regard to your stock transactions?"
"I haven't sold a dollar's worth of stock
in ten days. No, I don't know when I
sold any stock. Pm no speculator. I
am an investor,- and whon I get some
money together I put it into any stook I
consider cheap."
"Do you frequently visit Wa!l-st?"
"Talk of my being in Wall-st! Why, I
havon't been down town in three years
not since I came from Europe, Pve nev
er yet seen the Mil's bunding or the
Brooklyn bridge since it wai opened.
Why, rye got a building down on the cor
ner of Nassau and Beekmau sts. that I
have never seen."
I haven't seen Washington's statue
even. rve promised myself a trip across
the bridge, and intend to go down some
clear Sunday."
"What is your opinion of the prohibi
tion or strict excise law?"
"It is all foolishness. Who can tell a
man what he must do when he is in his
own house? They can't stop a man from
drinking if he is bound to have it. Here
I am; I drink, ma3-be, two or three glass
es of wine a month. Don't drink more
because it don't agreo with me. Now,
that question had better bo left alone by
politicians, for it can't ba moved. Men
will always drink either on the sly or in
a barroom."
"But returning to the subject of poli
tics, Mr. Vanderbilt?"
"Oh, yes; aud here I will ask who forms
public opinion. Don't the newspapers?
Yes. Well, how do they do it?"
Mr. Vanderbilt became oratoriealiy
confidential and shook his finger as he
went en:
"PU tell you how they do it this way"
(rubbing his hands together): "Hus
bands and brothers bring newspapers
home to their families, and seated -t the
table they read what this paper or that
paper says. The 'wimmen folks' talk
tho matter over. The father, husband or
son (1 don't care a d n which), hears
what is said. It don't alter their opin
ions at first, but they gradually see what
looks like the truth and the result- is
what? They act on it. So the papers
affect politics."
"The ladies?" said the reporter.
"Women are great.believers in papers.
That's why I hate to see my -name in
them, for women think, aud of course n
newspaper never credits a man's gocd
actions, but always picks and claws at
him.
"To be happy a man wants to live in
the country. The thinking people live
in the country, where they are all some
body, and they're the class who make
our laws. Hera in tho c'ty a young man
sees so many above him, fellers a-swag-gerin'
'round and all that, ho thinks 'I'm
nobody.' In the country a chap can do as
he tikes, and, of course, becomes a 'h
of a feller,' :4ee?
"I lived in the country for over twenty
years, and everyone knew me. They'd
say. 'There's Vanderbilt; he's a good fel
low.' So I was. I had a good education
got it at Columbia collegt and so I
had the advantage. Then, too, I was
Corneel Vandarbilt's son; that was some
thing too."
Besuming the topic of newspapers, of
whioh Mr. V. seemed bound to show his
disgust, he said:
There are many thing3 a man does or
say3 that ho don't want continually
brought up and these newspapers con
tinually harp. Of course many of these
things are true you understand what I
mean."
"But is there no cause for it?"
"Ah, there you have it," and assuming
a look of sly humor ho lowered his voice
whispered hoarsely, "Maybe you don't
know you are a reporter but editors do,
and I know what it's for it's blackmail,
sir, blackmail."
With a relieved look he closed one eye,
and centinued:
"Yes, these things may be true about
a man, but all tho sams they're disgust
ing to that man when repeated day after
day by papers who frequently have'a way
of giving them a clever twist that makes
th6m amusing to others." Ar. Y. Jour
