There will be a Republican majority of
ten on joint ballot in the legislature.
Yesterday's Orcnonian says: The elec
tion of Frank J. Taylor, Republican can

dred ballots or more being cast in "Wash
ington county, through an error in tho
tickets, for E. J. Taylor. It is under

sides with it. Put on pepper and salt,
and toast it on each side over a rod coal

and two sprigs of parsley, and get him to
eat it." The young wifo did ho, and her
husband loved her ever after.

TOPICS OF THE TIMES.
JaniM C. Blaine of Halae-Loean, With Hit
Slogan-Bonshl Tfltb Price-Etc
'What makes yon so enthusiastic over
Rlainc'n nomination?" has boon asked.
Our ro isdns aro feur: First, as an iudi
idual; second, as a resident of the Pa
cific coast; third, as a votir who hates tho
crack of tho party whip; fourth, as an
American citizen. And this is why a
good many wcro overjoyed to know that
a man of tho people was placed in nomi
nation. You may yoto tho Republican
tickot or the Democratic ticket because
you think 'tis your duty, or because you
have settled convictions that way, but
w hen you feel that you have had some
thing to say about vho shall be yourj
candidate you are apt to put a good deal
more viib into vour actions. Elaine was
not nominated because he was the favorite
of the machine, nor because he held the
treasury, nor because ho dispensed the
gifts of official patronage, nor because
any "ring" deemed it necessary, but be
cause the poopl6 demanded that ho be
put forward. For this reason, and this
alono, aro millions of Americans rejoicing
that the convention which adjourned last
Friday night had tho good sense to re-
buto tho "machine' ana machine
methods and put the name of Dlaine on
its campaign banner.
Four j ears ago, Conkling, caressing his
curJ, strutted down the aisle with urant's
J0u at his back. Ho waved his imperious
hand and commanded silence. Ho placed
the man who never knew defeat in bat
tle in nomination for the third time, and
staid In him to deserved defeat. This
time Arthur, who was but a fortunate ac
cident, had by a singular coincidence ex
actly 30G at his beck and nod, but for the
second time in four years tho voters of
the Unite J Mates said: "uentlemen, nom
inate your man if you will, but we will
not endor.,o him by our votes." Eleven
million men will h'avo each something to
say next Xovember about who shall run
thi government for four eara more, and
the Republicans at Chicago, with a wis
dom bom of experience, put forward
tiioir bo'.t man.
And fo"JiOgan has tho second placo on
tho ticket. That was a fitting finalo to
tho performance, for no better nomina
tion could havo been mado. He had
ougineored a littlo boom of his own, but
his admiration for Bbino showed out so
strongly that it was evident he would
piefer him as a presidential caudidato to
anyone else in tho nation, excepting him
self. Logan is an intense, hearty, mascu
lino man t hat makes lots of enemies by
his disagrveablo habit of telling the
truth, and some of the Illinois editors
haie got down on him because ho was
very slow about making promises and
very strict about fulfilling those ho did
mn'ko. Rut whero is there a man that is
worth thiuking of twice, who hasn't
mado enemies. A man may go through
life with a bottlo of oil in ono hand and
a feather in tho other and nod and look
wise and agree with every ono and have
no moro real genuine self assertion about
him than tho little capsules you bay over
at Dement's or Jo. Thomaa'sj nothing
but littlo sacks of mucus that dissolve
when the medicine insido begins getting
in its work.
Logan is a man who has been in pub
lic life thirty years; he is more of a
statesman than" a politician and is be
loved by every one who wore the blue,
and admired and respected by those who
wore tho gray.
And if now our Democratic brethren
will but put up on July 8th another such
man as Blaine! That is the benefit of
having two great parties, equally divided;
both sides nro put to their mettle, and
made known that none but good men
stand a show. This is a government of
checks and balances, of great transac
tions, of important interests, and we
need ono party to watch the other. Tho
American ieop!o whether in Maine or
Oregon will svand a little foolishness,
but not much, nor ery long. It is only a
little while ago that the Republican can
didate for governor of 2sew York in a
Republican state was beaten by an un
known man with a majority of 200,000,
becauco ho had been forced on the party
by the president of tho United States.
That was their answer. So, we say, it is
a grand thing that we have two parties
to keep each other in condition and the
nation in equilibrium. It shows conclu
sively that tho croakers aro all wrong
and tho country has not begun to go to
tho dogs by a largo majority.
And yet thcro are little things that crop
out now and then that make ono think that
if certain people had the lead, the coun
try would go to Hades across lots. "We
had our littlo county election last Mon
day, and if all tales bo true, or half of
them half true, there was some con
temptible work done. Li more than one
quarter tha writer has heard that parties
claiming to be ablo to "swing" so many
votes made plain demand for coin, at tho
samo time intimating that if tho sugar
was not lonncoming mo opposition
camp was ready to put up. It said that a
paper was exhibited bearing the names
of C2 or 05 '"men" who agreed to vote
whichever way their guardian angel and
leading spirit told them, and that that
genuiswasnot at all backward in making
known tho financial bearings of tbe situ
ation to those whom ho deemed most in
terested. It is interesting likewise to
know that the prico of "tho wholo lot"
was 350: that is to s?y, that for tho
sum of 3.'0 gold coin of the United
States, and duly paid, tho receipt of
which was thereby acknowledged, that
number of men would barter away each
man his vote that most precious privi
lege of an American freeman, Vith
that pleasant disregard of minor points,
characteristic of that class of patriots, it
made no difference from which side the
coin came. "Republican," "Democrat,"
were idle words to them; all they saw
was tho geld: all thoy knew was "this is
our chance." "Make hay whilo tbe sun
shines."
If, as iho poet assures us: "Freedom
shrieked when Kosciusko fell," she must
have emitted a doleful squawk last Mon
day when she heard the chink of gold
that told tho sale of manhood and all
that makes life moro than the existence
To gild lofiued gold, to paint the lily,
or to add additional flavor to the rose
havo long been considered superfluous
tasks. To toll why a man edits a news
paper, writes for tho public and condnots
a journal is probably as Bupoifluoas. Mr.
Noltnor, of the Standard, in an editorial
a few diivs ago, tells tho whole story in a
very few" words. Ho says, "I am running
my newspaper to support myself and my
familv," and when that is said, all is said.
A mah that catches salmon, or sells gro
ceries, or saws lumber, or soils dry goods,
or pushes a plane, or keeps a hotel, us
ual I v does it to make bread and butter
for himsolf and those depending on him,
and it is just precisely tho samo way with
tha men that m tho different newspaper
offloes in this state aro working at the
most wearing of all occupations. This
littlo similarity is mentioned in connec
tion with nn impression that prevails in
the minds of many that a man who runs
a newspaper is purely a missionary in the
great oause of human advancement, and
iB laying up his reward where thieves do
not rust nor moths break in and steal; in
tho meantime working seventeen hours a
day for tho good of his health.
Of course pots should boll and loaves
should bako without any expenditure, but
thov don't. It is not in tho ordinary
course of nature, and sometimes a suit of
clothes or tho butcher's bill is of far
more importance to tho man who is writ
ing an editorial on tho necessity of tho
Monroe doctrine, than over Monroe or his
doctrine could possibly be. More especial--ly
is this the case where the rough black
smithry has not given place to the finer
working that imparts a smooth surface
to tho metal. "I would giro fivo of tho
bestyeare of my life," writes a friend
with whom tho writer of these random
thoughts exchanged good-natured thrusts
years ago, "if I could have tho privilege
of .saying just what I think about men
and things for six months." Probably;
and yet would ho be Rny tho better for
Huch ability to free his mind? Perhaps,
on tho whole, it is just as well that duo
restraint is placed on theso paper bullets
of the brain and their coiners.
WEDDING CABDS,.Br JOTE!
Mr. and Mrs. Percy Garcandy request
tho honor of Mr. Blank Blank's company
at tho wedding of their daughter,
Miss Su. Garcandy
and
Mr. Kiasan H. Ugger,
On evening, June
residence.
My friends, I cannot do it.
at their
I know
Mr. Ugger of old. The fact is I can only
see misery as the result of tho contem
plated union.
Mr. Ugger is a man of no particular
weakness; but is addicted to all the tri
fling habits, of which the sura is, unhap
piness to any woman who may marry
him. He is in the roceipt of an income
which is ample for the wants which he
has created for himself, but which would
be totally inadequate to the support of a
wife. Well, they might live comfortably
upon his revenues, but to do that Ugger
would be compelled to give up his cigars,
drop his clab, reduce his expenses at his
tailor's, pa33 by his jeweler's, and avoid
the daily littlo extras which he now al
lows himself.
If I know Ugger, and I em sure I do,
he would do none of these things. He
has been indulged from childhood; his
mother trained him into ways of selfish
ness which have become a 6econd nature,
and you may depend that if either ono
had to be deprived of anv accustomed
luxuries, it would not be Mr. Ugger.
I have no doubt he would be very in
dignant were I to tell him of these things
(and, of qourso, I shall do nothing of the
kind), but I know that "as tho twig is
bent the tree is inclined," and "tho boy
is father to the man."
Don't I remomber, while at school, how
ho never shared his gingerbread and taf
fy with any of the boys, but went off by
himself, and sitting apart (as Achill&3
did, by his tent), produced a dainty nap
kin and devoured all, regardless of tho
ploading oyes and watering months
which gazed from afar upon his perform
ances. Thou, too, he nlways had tho
best pocket-knife, the largest alleys, tho
finest top and don't I know how ho ob
tained them! Lot any boy receive- some
thing which filled his heart, and behold!
in a short time tho treasure passed into tho
possession of Ugger. And whon Johnnie
Beli'rf mother died "and she had to leave
school, to work for her littlo sister's sup
port. Wo all clubbed our sixpences,
which I aflirra were- not then plentiful,
did not Hugger avoid the collector until
ho could no longer keep out of his way,
whon cornered said, "Poor little beggar,
Fm sorry for him, but really I can't
keep it," and refuse to give a penny.
No, sir, I won't spo you married, thars
flat.
And then Miss Su. Garcandy! Well of
all the unsuitable matches! Just think,
a girl brought up by parents who were
not rich and wanted to be thought so.
By parents who varied genteel poverty
by poor gentility and who, after giving a
dinner party, at which all the plate to be
hired in the town was on parade, sub
sided into the back kitchen and there
existed until "society demanded another
tuck out." O, vanitv of vanities, did
they not know that "Mrs. Grundy was
ever sitting in judgment upon them?
Did they not know how their friends
pitied poor Miss Su, brought up in this
atmosphere of pretence? Perhaps they
only surmised it, fur Mrs. Grundv never
permits her censure to prevent her ac
cepting an invitation, and she gushes up
on her host preparatory to feasting her
self with his shortcomings.
Just imagine, 1 say, just imagine for a
moment, what ten years of married life
would do for these people and then ask
me, if you dare, to sanction so grim a
sacrifice by niy presence? I see a broken
down, faded woman, dowdy in appear
ance, always in the doctors hands, -with
a string of wretched children, the young
est just cutting its first teeth. The houso
is topsy turvy, the carpets faded and
worn, the rooms cheerless, and turning
from this picture T proceed homeward,
when I meet Ugger. His coat is worn
at tho elbows, his shirt front is frayed
and he wears no jewelry now. He looks
tw6nty years older, but ho says, 'Come,
let us have somethinc' and I notice as
he pays for the 'tipple that his hands
are tremulous and his nose betrays bis
habit of drowning care.
I say nothing of his family affairs,
thoy are beyond comment, but be knows
I know that had not selfish indulgences
intorf erred with his whole life, and had
mutual concessions been made, his lot
and that of his family might haTe been,
ah, so different. No, I shall not attend
that wedding. Cynic.
A Permanent Fixture.
Wo would inform tho readers of this
paper and ladies of Astoria more par
ticularly, that tho branch store of J.
Pilger's Leading Suit, Cloak and Dress
Goods House of Portland, is an estab
lished and permanent business fixture in
our city. This statement wo hove been
requested to make through these columns
to contradict the reports and statements
mado by other merchants to the effect
that their location in Astoria was only
for a short timo. These malicious re
ports do not speak well for the parties
circulating them, and certainly not in a
manly spirit of competition. We cheer
fully endorse their success and refer our
readers to their new advertisement in to
day's issue, presenting a partial price list
of some leading lines to tho ladies of As
toria; also correcting the impression that

-"Do I think tho seals do muoh damago
to the salmon fishery?" said Fish Com
missioner Buckingkan to a Bee reporter
last week. "Yes, I know they do. There
is no question ahout it. They do im
mense damage. I notice that some of
tho paper? say that tho seals should not
bo protected by law, bnt it is a mistake
to suppose that they ere protected. The
law protecting them was repealed by the
legislature sonio years ago. I have been
trying to get some uf the Greek fisher
men to fit out an expedition to the Seal
rocks for tho purpose of killing off the
seals. A fat ssnl will yield ten gallons of
oil, it is said, and tho oil ft worth 'about
50 cents a gallqn, so thero ought -io-be
money in suck an expedition. If tho
proprietors of the Cliff house sheuld: buy
off the 'partyy Some other expeditions
would'probably soon ba organised and-
I the hotel men would get tired of pur-
chasmgimmumts-fortnefceajsc Bu$ the.
capture of. the Tisals does not seenito t
have offered much inducement for huriw
prs, since the" animals'nsve- riot been-mo--
tested, ana. I think that the state should
offer a bounty for their destruction. :
"The salmon -catch in the Sucramenfo
this year," -Mr. Buckingham resumed1
"is likely to be very light. Tha soals ac
count to a 'considerable' extent for the
falling off in the sutrolv of fish, but there
lis another reason. In 1881 a grea't many
soimon got into mo mieu, ana xauea to
spawn in tho headwaters of the. river,
and we are now feeling the effect'of -that
failure. This season, the .salmon are. also
going into tho tules. There are .more
salmon running up through, tho tules
now than there are in the main river."
"What makes thempo into tho tules?"
ltIt is the flow- of water through the
tules from the break-up above. The fish
in ascending tho river .meet the worm
water coming out of tho tules from jthe
sloughs near Rio Vista, and as they nat
urallly seek tho warm water, they turn
out of tho main stream and follow .up
the current in the tule3. They will:gath
er in tho pools and sloughs at the head
of tho tnlo basin and never get up the
river."
"Can anything be done to keep tho fish
from losing themselves in that way?" .
"Yes. The mouth of tho Cacho creek,
which empties at Knight's Landing,
could bo cleared of obstructions so tho
fish could ascend the htream and spawn.
Tho mouth of tho stream is filled up
with a growth of willows and other ob
structions, and it-would cost a good deal
to clear it out. But the result would jus
tify the expenditure, and the commission
in its coming report will recommend tho
legislature to rnnko nn appropriation for
tho purpose Tho Sacramonto salmon
fishery is nothing compared to what it
used to be. I mean to say, that is, if the
same means and appliunces had boon in
use ten years ago that we havo now, the
catch would have been far greater."
"Tho commission will put about 600,000
salmon fry in tho river this year," re
marked Commissioner Dibble, who was
present, "but a largo proportion of them
willboio3t."
"Gobbled?" queried the reporter.
"Gobbled," the commissioner assented.
"The trout and other fish eat myriads Of
the small fry. Of tho thousands of the
fry of eastern brook trout, white fish and
land-locked salmon placed in California
waters, scarcely a handful seem to have
reached maturity. Tho little fish were
doubtless devoured by the big ones, and
the few tha't survived have probably
crossed with tho native stock. What the
commission needs is a" place where the
young fish can bo kept until they get bis
enough to take care of themselves. Theyl
shoum bo protected until they nave at
least attained tho sizo of fingerlings.
Unless an enormous number of young
fry be turned into a lake or stream ten
anted by grown fish, tha attempt at
stocking tho waters is generally a failure.
The experiment with shad in our waters
has been a success, but hundreds of
thousands of young fry were put in. It
is hard to find just such a stream as wo
want for a nursery, as it must have a
comparatively small watershed, else the
fish would bo liable to be carried away
by floods." J
