"No," said Mrs. Bounce, "I don't know

The question of proper sewerage is fast

THE ASTORIA LA3D GBAKT.
Our Rrprefentatlre Opposes It Forfeit are.
WASHiNoros, April 6. The house jes
terday took up for consideration .tho bill
df-c'nriue forfeited tue land granted to
th Oregon Central railway in 1870, for
construction of a road from Portland to
AiUiriu, a part of which had never been
built. Payson, of Illinois made the open
ing Hpfch, in wich he briefly went over
tliti points in the majority report of the
i-mimittee on public lands.
Gwrye, of Oregon, followed in a strong
npeccli, in which he stated that unless al
lowed to amend the bill so as to obliter
ate some of the objectionable features,
ho would vote against it. He exhibited a
rough map of the road, showing that the
company had constructed from Portluud
to McMinnville, and in good faith earned
the laud grant for that portion. He
stated that the rest of the line, ninety
two miles in length, had never been
built, because river competition between
Portland and Astoria would have ren
dered the enterprise unprofitable. Be
sides forfeiting all the land grant, both
earned and unearned, the bill forfeits
the right of way of the constructed road
through public lauds of the United States,
which be considered outrageously unjust.
George argued that the section of the
bill allowed persons who had purchased
from the company to obtain title to ICO
acres from the government would protect
moro speculators than actual settlers.
He offered five amendments, perfecting
the bill in the particulars named, which
were fltlowad by unanimous consent.
During his whole speech George wu6 list
end to with marked attention by the en
tire house, and though pestered through
out with questions his answers often
brought out applause. Tbe bill was not
disposed of, as the house adjourned after
George's remarks.
Yesterday the houte b;gnu tht railroad
land grant war, if so tame a contest as
the passage of the forfeiture bills c&n b(r
called war, by taking up the bill forfeit
ing the Oregon Central grant. If all the
bills are attacked so effectively as this
one was yesterday by George of Oregon,
the public lands committee will not gain
much gloty' by their passage, for this one,
as Mr. George said, would simply furnish
employment to Oregon lawyers without
giving relief to tho settlers it was de
signed to benefit. Even friends of tho
bill, after listening to George's speech,
admit that in its present shape it ought
not to paf-9. As Mr. Payson, who has
charge of the measure, has agreed to
have George's amendments discussed, it
is probable tbe bill will be amended so as
not to forfeit land granted to tbe Oregon
Central, through which a railroad has
been built in good faith. No further ao
tion will be taken till Tuesday. After
that day, unless the tariff bill interferes,
the committee will push all their meas
ures. There are several over which there
is sure to be a long debate. The Cali
fornia and Oregon bill follows after the
Oregon Central; next the Now Orleans
Central, and then the Northern Pacific.
Beid of Maine, and Dorsheimer of New
York, are expected to lead the opposition
to forfeiting the Northern Paciflo grant.
Too Fine to Trarel.
The chiuook salmon season is fairly
undor way, and fish, though few in num
bers, as is the case usually in April, are
of superb quality. I take off my hat for
two superb specimens of the salmo quin
nat, one received from James O. Han
thorn on Tuesday, and the other from
Charles Thomes on the day following.
Naturalists have made the statement that
a full grown sea lion will not consume
fifty pounds of salmon per day; and my
most natural inference is that my Astoria
friends have taken me for a sea lion.
But all joking apnrt, these genuine Chi
nook salmon are the royal fish of the
world, and I am only astonished that
some loyal subject of the British crown
ha3 not taken pains to get a real chinook
er of thirty pounds weight, have him fro
zen into a solid square of ice at Harris'
ice-house, and thru ship him direct to H.
B. H. the prince of Wales. The heir ap
parent is u man who likes t good dinner
and can appreciate a fat fish with ancho
vy sauce. If the salmon served no other
purpose, it would teach our British cousins
a lesson in diplomacy, and cause them to
reali2o what a loss they sustained when
they lost the then apparently worthless
territory of Oregon. 2'ohi Merry in Sun
day Oregonian.
Could one of our fine fhh be sent to his
royal highness or his royal mamma pnd
arrive there in the same condition that it
left Astoria it would ind6od be a dish
"fit to set before a king," but, unfortu
nately, the very qualities that make Co
lumbia river salmon the best in the world,
procludo all possibility of distant trans
portation and preservation of its
intrinsic merits. A few weeks
ago u dispatch was sent from
New York concerning tho arrival of some
"Chinook" salmon, and how delighted
the New Yorkers were to get it, and what
a high price it commanded, etc No
doubt the salmon that our New York
friends so heartily commended was
caught in tho Columbia, but it is not at
all probable that it was other than Bteel
head salmon, which, in point of flavor,
bears the same relation to Chinook
salmon that tup mutton does to
spring lamb. Tbe steel heads will bear
freezing and long carriage, the Chinook
will not. Tho chief difference between
tbe two seems to be in tho fact that in
the Chinook salmon the oil is in the
body of the fish; in the steel heads the
oil is in the liver, the rest of the fish bo
ing comparatively dry and destituto of
that bouquet and aroma which is the
chief characteristic of the salmo auinnat.
An eigbteen-carat, yard-wide, all wool,
spring salmon sent fresh from the Colum
bia river would be slightly over-ripe by
the time it reached the Atlantio coast,
though its inferior cousins stand the trip
very well,

Mrs. D. K. Warren then read an in

called forth an earnest and interesting
discussion concerning the duties, present
and prospective, of women, and the prob
able effect upon the temperance move
ment of the ballot in their hands, during
which opinions for. and against eqnal
suffrage were advanced.
On motion, the following resolution
was unanimously adepted:
Resolved, That we recognize the action
of the common council of this city in re
fusing saloon license to some who have
been guilty of flagrant violation of the
law, as eminently proper and highly to be
commended, and we1 respectfully petition
that any application "for such license
may still be treated in like manner.
On motion, it was ordered that a report
of the proceedings of this meeting be
furnished The Daily Asiortan for publi
cation. The meeting then adjourned to meet
Mav 5th, at the same time ana place.

A prij npht came off at Hyudman,
Pennsylvania, near the Maryland state

The party left Huntington, Pa., in the
cars. During the trip a melee occurred
on the train, in which several were in
jured. Arriving at Hyndmau a ring was
pitched and tbe fight began. Fifty-three
rounds were fought, with advantages
about even, when a cry of "foul" was
raised. A riot ensued, in which pistols
and knives werely used, and at the con
clusion three men, including Nickvest,
were stretched on tho ground dead, while
several others were badly wounded. Nick
vest was shot through tho bead. No ar
rests were made.
Yesterday's Toledo Commercial Tele
gram publishes a letter trora a dis
tinguished citizen of Cincinnati giving a
new version of the story of the riots. He
states that the home papers dare not tell
all their reporters know about tbe riots;
that the coroner dare not hold an in
quest, because testimony would show that
there was no mob, no need of tho mili
tary, and no need of" them to open fire;
that th6y fired on unoffending people,
and that 'such of the policemen and tbe
militia as were shot were shot by the
militia; that Sheriff Hawkins has no
brains, and lost his head; that the firing
was uncalled for and cowardly, and that
bystanders could not believe that bullets
were being fired until they saw men fall.
The letter is very lengthy, and criticizes
the entire management of tho governor
and hi3 military staff, speaking with the
utmost severity of the fear and foolish
ness, and the bloodthirsty frenzy of the
sheriff, with which he infected the
militia.
Happlntw. in Actlrll).
Many imagine that there is a profound
and intrinsic blessing snd satisfaction in
the possession of wealth. Thore is
nothing of the kind. If so, then the
miser is the happiest of mankind. But
his very name constitutes the greater
part of the significant word miserable. It
is in the active pum.iit of anything that
exhilaration lies, and pleasure, and even
what there may be of dignity. Mere
money-making would be despicable did
it not involve the activity of natural and
worthy powers. The energy of the seem
ing avarice of acquisition is nobler and
more beneficial than supine profnseness
and inactive lethargy. Enterprise is the
golden fault rather than tho latter its
successful result. Tho expedition to El
Dorado is worth far more than the gold
that lies hidden there. So it is with
business. Ynu take your pleasure in buy
ing and selling, and conducting the man
ifold affairs of trade wherein activity
finds full play in the excitement of gain
and the risks of venture. Honor, integ
rity and iudustry, at the moment and in
tho act of their exercise, are what yield
rewards, hence the reason why man is
still beckoned on, no matter how great
may be bis already accumulated fortune.
Once embarked upon the sea of acquisi
tion man is not content to anchor in the
narrow and quiet inlet of expenditure
only. He is happier, safer, grander,
while alert and tossed upon the restless,
billowy wave of action.

John Krounio was accidentally drowned
at Spring Brook, on Tuesday," says the
Oysterville Journal of the 5th. Rrounic
was engaged in running logs in th- mill
boom at one o'clock in the morning,
when he slipped from n log and fell into
the water. His cries aroused tho mill
hands, but before they could reach him
he had sunk from sight and all search for
him that morning proved fruitless. Not
over ton minutes elapsod from his first
cry until the men reachud the boom, and
it is supposed that being unable to
swim he sunk immediately. Mr. Kounic
was a man about 35 years of age and re
cently arrived at the mill. He leaves a
wife and two children to mourn his un
timely demise. The body of the unfortu
nate man had not b?en recovered up to

The Olympia papers think that lots
are held at too high a figure in the capi

the first ward, the bark Maria has been
beached to be taken to pieces, that her

left in her may bo saved, says the Taco
ma Ledger. Sh2 arrived here from Ecua
dor to load lumber on account of the cap
tain, Nicalo Guelo. That she ever reached
the port is a miracle. Her timbers are
rotten and warped, rigging torn, sails
raffed, hulk battered, and she possesses
every qualification of u floating coffin
except that her floating has ended on the
beach. The Maria is of 409 tons burden,
was built in the last century, sailing into
the English channel in 1S0G, the first
American merchantman to enter those
waters. A South American company
bought her some forty year": ago, and sho
has been used for trading in any port in
which a dollar could be mudo. Captain
Guelo is part owner in her, and seems to
be a happy go lucky commander having
come here without an almanac, barome

of this country, when the stump speaker
was of -vital importance in a campaign;
indeed, he was its prime faotor. That
has all changed, and for several reason?.
Ono, the people are les3 capable of being
led. because more intelligent. Another,,
the press has become the mi ssenger be
tween issues and the people. That tho
press exerts a wider and much moro per
manent influence than the stump is be
yond question. It is constant in its pres
entations. It talks to the public every
day. It finds men who . nevor attend
political meetings of any kind. It fol
lows up events with appropriate com
mentary. Standard.
Wo want a congressman whose views
are as broad as tho boundaries of our
state; whoso energy and efforts are as
deep as the soil of our valleys; whose
honor and integrity is as firm and un
yielding as tho towering oaks on our
mountain sides. We have such men, but
they shrink from the ordeal of a political
ordeal with the same intuition that virtue
shrinks frpm vice, that honor and can
dor shrink from baseness and deceit. ' If
the people want honest, able and impar
tial legislation, they must enter the tem
pi o of politics and overthrow the minions
of corporate power, the demagogues of
class legislation, and install honest men
in their stead. Such motives are worthy
tho most severe effort, and will purify
and. reform the civil service and place
honest and deserving men in office.
