Did you ever happen to meet a man whoso "independence of principle" con sists in having no principle on which to depend and whoso "free thinking" con sists not in thinking freely but in being free from thinking ? On the northwest corner of the English vico consul's office is a flagstaff, sur mounted by a spear. It is for the purpose of displaying tho English flag on appro priate days, and is unique as being the only one of the kind in the city. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. M. C.

After the speech they re-formed and marched back to the hall singing "Marching through Georgia." .Mr. Leasure accompanied them and when they had returned to the wigwam ho made them a stirring speech which found ready echo in the minds of his enthusiastic hearers. . 3IABKET PECULIAKITIES. Ciiadwell, Oct. 17, 1884. Ed. Astebiak: It strikes me very forcibly that the As toria markets are very different from the markets in eastern cities. Here the deal ers pay the same price for poor potatoes that they pay for good ones. In tho New York markets grain and dairy fed hogs are often quoted at 34 cents per pound more than hogs fatted on anything else. It is not so here. Hogs fatted at the slaughter yards bring the same price that our dairy fed hog3 bring. Look at the New York beef quotations. Large fat steers that dress from 800 to 1000 are al ways about four cents per pound higher than small ones that are equally as fat. I claim that our beef cattle raised here are better than tho cattle brought here from other localities. They lose flesh every dav after they leave their range un til they are slaughtered. There is where all of the tough beef comes from. But dealers pay the same price for anything, if it is only beef; there is no reward of fered for a superior article of anything. Fabsieb.

STIBRING SPEECn OF J. C. LEASUBE DellTered At Occidental Hall Last Erenlaff. J. C. Lc-asure, of Eastern Oregon, one of the trio who will have tho pleasure of casting Oregon's electoral vote for Blaine and Logan next December, addressed a lively audience at Occidental Hall last evening. Ho was introduced by Capt. J. H. D. Gray, upon which Mr. Leasure stepped forward and said: "After the Vermont election had passed they said "wait;" after Vermont, Maine, still "wait;" then Ohio; now we feel like saying in tho words of Garfield, "God reignB and tho government yet lives." You have heard a good many speeches, among others you have heard the cham pion of Democracy, Senator Slater. At the outset let me speak of the land grant system. You have a right to know the exact record on this question, and I wish to place it before you." Mr. Leasure read from the Democratic platform regarding the expressed senti ments of the party, relating to the mat ter of land grants. Ho denied the charge therein contained that the Republican party was responsible for tho extensive land grants: In proof he called atten tion to tho fact that it was under a Dem ocratic administration and in accordance with Democratic policy that the initial series of theso great land grants were passed. Senator Slater had said differ ently, but tho facts were in direct oppo sition to the senator's statements. In 18."0 to the Illinois Central It. B. Co., on a bill introduced by Stephen A. Douglas, was granted by a Democratic administration over 2,000,000 acros of the public lands. He quoted tho language of Thos. A. Hendricks in 18G4, discussing tho N. P. B. B. bill, when ho said that he was in favor of tho N. P. grant and at which timo ho talked and voted for that great railroad grant. Regarding tho O. C. land grant he quoted from Jos. S. Smith where he said that ,"as a good Democrat" he would vote in favor of that bill, and he ( Smith ) claimed that it originated in tho Democratic party. History and the record showed that it was not a Republican measure as it had received almost unanimous endorsement from tho Democratic party. Twelve years ago the National Republican Con vention declared that there should bo no more land grants to railroads and kept their word. Mr. L. B. Ison, tho Democratic candi date for elector had dodged this question; he had claimed that there was no issue between the two parties. That would hardly suit the idea of a nation; it might auit those who only believed in a league of states. Tho great question was "How shpll we act to produce tho greatest good to tho greatest.number." The Republi can party is tho party of tho nation, to so conduct national uffsurs as to induce and secure the greatest measuro of na tional prosperity, and Mr. Leasure read from the party platform in proof of what he said. That was the Ropublican party policy from Lincoln to Blaine and was the great nil-embracing idea that ap pealed to the heart of the American psople. On the question of the tariff the De mocracywas divided. One portion say "a tariff for revenue;" another crowd cry "free trade." On this great question the Democracy was divided. Ho would quote Senator Slater on the matter of protec tion. That gentleman had quoted gar bled statistics regarding isolated portions of tho country's history. Take itasa whole and not in sections. "When De mocracy had ascendency there was as Tnuch natural wealth in the country as there is to-day. What had Democrac done? "When Jamas Buchanan stepped out h6 left an empty treasury, and the credit of the government was below i ar. What did it? Free trade. Buchanan acknowl edged it in his messago to congress. The declaration stands thero on record. But Mr. Slater talks of 1837. He says there was money enough in the country then. But thero wasn't. Then the country was sending out 6G,000,000 and getting back 8,000,000. This is history; tho history of free trade and a fair showing of its ef fects. Then the laborer had 75 cents a day; now under protection how is it? Under Democratic rule our free school system, the pride of America, the hope of our country, languished. Under Uiat rule farmers got starvation prices for their products. All this under tho sys tem that Senator Slater extols. When Lincoln, tho first Republican president, took the helm it was with an empty treasury, and an impending war. The country was saved, her credit re vived, her bonds put above par, the great debt incurred to save tho Union was be ing paid, and we were sending out 17, 000.U00 annually and getting back 93, 000,000. Laborers are getting American wages now, and manufactures are pros pering. Conditions aro reversed now and labor is better paid and the necessaries of life are cheaper. This is the record of tho two parties. Let n candid public ex amine and decide. Discontended people want a change; they want cheap money; they want things turned round; but the good, honest, work ing public didn't; they were doing well enough and satisfied with tho protective system that gave all labor an equal share in tho government. A Democrat believes that on a tariff-for-reveuue, or free trade basis, things would be cheaper. Were that experiment tried labor would at once tumble and a dollar would bo harder to get. Our country differs from others in hav ing such a diversity of industries. Eng land stakes her all on manufactures. She must have free trade or perish. Her 70,000 manufacturers control tho 78,000, 000 population and have tho grandest monopoly on earth. They want America to break down and let the flood in. In England is no competition. There they have labor by the throat and they mean to keep it so. With us is healthy competi tion and no matter how poor tho man, no matter how low his start he can climb to position and share in all the privileges that our government presents. It re minded him of tho Irishman who came here and worked for good wages, and saved it and then spent it, and after thinking over it concluded that ho could g6t as much in Ireland for a bit as he could here for a dollar. When asked whv he didn't stay there he said, "be cause I didn't have the bit," and that, the speaker thought was about the size of it. "But," says a Democrat, "open the doors of our ports." Were every , port in the United States thrown open we could only sell so much any how, while under the present system, wholesale com petition makes goods as low as they can be. "Well, we'd iust as soon havo a change," say other Democrats, and a few lukewarm Republicans. Hendricks was uckk"k iwr u cuango in xnuiana. y, nat reason can be brought forward for a change? Look at the condition of the country. How can Democracy improve it r ah inai tno nomocracy want is a change! Thero is a class that aro for ever barred in the Republican party; that ciass, represented oy nypocntos like hold office; they want a change. They .were like the old Elder who led a little baud of Adventists, who went upon the mountain all ready to ascend; they wait ed patiently, and at lost the old elder fell asleep, and at last the night growing cold they lit a fire in the brusnheap, where tho old elder lay placidly dream ing. "In hell ; just as I expected," was the old elder's comment when he awoke in the blaze. And so it was with Schurz and Co. It was impudenoe on tho part of the Democratic nartv to ask for 'a chanpa" on its record. That record always fol lowed on the trail of the Republican party, but a long way behind. They op posed tho homestead law; they opposed tho schools; the constitutional amend ments; they opposed all tho great meas ures oi tno last tniriy years, nnu meu when they wero shown that they wero wrong dropped in submissively. When Hancock was defeated, Watter sou, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, came near stating the truth in reciting the party's mistakes, and showing how they could never expect to w4n unless by being consistent. But the Democrats say, "We want to examine the books?" Well, there they are! Thoy have as much right to exam ine the public records as tho books in tho office of the county clerk. The Demo crats have had control of congress and had plenty of opportunity to "examine tho books," but haven't done it. They claim "fraud," but bring no proofs. In regard to the candidates, he womu say that thero was no charge against Blaine in 1834 that had not been brought and exploded in 1876. Blaine had been acquitted. Maine sent him from the houso to tho United States senate, and he towered in intellect in that great body. Then Garfield raised him to the second place in tho nation, and was unanimously endorsed by the conercss of the United States. Why didn't Democratic representatives prefer charges then? Senator Slater now ob jects. He was in the senate then. Why didn't ho object then. Blaine had been tried this fall bv a jury in Vermont and acquitted: in Maine, and acquitted, in Ohio and acquitted, nnd in November would bo seen the spirit form of James A. Garfield at tho national capital saying to James G. Blaine, "Come up higher." "Logan is a rebel," they say. "Ho used to bo a Democrat." Well, he had been a Douglas Democrat, and that was a splen did endorsement, fer the Douglas Demo crats had always been true to the Union. Mr. Leasure read from Logan's speeches to illustrate his patriotism, and showed that "in the times that tried men's souls," John A. Logan was for the Union in every fibre of his being. How about Cleveland? What does he amount to? At tho best ho i3 only aver age. He has no record as n statesman. Ho was never in tho legislature of his own state; ho has no experienco and stands no comparison with Blaine, tho statesman tried and true. He was mado governor of New York because Republicans rebuked the administration by staying at home. Thero would bo nothing of the kind in November. Mr. Hendricks was a fit candidate for his party.. He had been in favor of secession. He had cursed Lincoln, and called his soldiers "hirelings." If heav er should become president the capital would ba overrun with rebel brigadiers. In that case tho appointing power would ruin the country. The speaker waved tho bloody shirt to some extent and ap pealed to his audience to do their part in keeping tho solid south from ruling tho country they once tried to ruin. He claimed that the time had not yet come when tho country could bo given with safety to the Democratic party. Mr. Leasure then closed with the prophesy that on the 4th of next month Oregon would give the largest majority ever given a Republican president. Long continued applaused greeted tho orator as he bid the audience good night. After the close of tho speech Ed. D Curtis came forward and amid consider able applause read a poem, written by Astoria talent, and dedicated to the As toria Blaine and Logan club, which formed a fitting finish to the evening. At the close of the poem three rousing cheers and a tiger were given for Blain and Logan, three more for tho Oregon boy, J. C. Leasure, who had made the speech, and three more for the poet. SAH EXPERIENCE OF A SKA CAPTAIN. Captain Joshua Slooum, commanding the American bark Aquidneck, who two years ago rescued a half dozen castaway Indians of ono of the islands in tho Pa cific ocean and took them to Japanwhere bo raised voluntary subscriptions suffi cient to send them back to their home in a steamer, told a Tribune reporter of the mysterious disappearance of some wrecked castaways off tho cost of Brazil, whom he made every effort to rescue at the risk of life and vessel in a heavy gale. "We were on tho way from Pernam buco to Buenos Ayros," he said, "when on the night of July 22, in latitude 42 45' south, longitude 52' west, I was star tled from my sleep by tho second mate reporting that a burning torch had been seen for a few moments and cries of dis tress heard on our weather bow not far off. Then I sprang from my berth, but before I could reach tho deck tho light had disappeared and the cries for help had grown fainter. It wa3 blowing a gale, and a heavy sea was running, the end of a 'pampero' which had been rag ing south of us. It was such weather as would make the collapse of anything probable. I had tho vessel around on the other tack as soon as possible and sailed back and forth and around the spot where the light had been seen, in the meantime showing a flash light from the bark, but nothing was seen or heard ex cepting the gale and tho roaring seas. "I did everything possible to discover what this might have been,-and after re maining in the vicinity a couple of hours more the ship was again put on her course with considerable reluctance and gloomy feelings. Perhaps it was a ship-wrecked party from some largo vessel, or they may havo been some Brazilian fish ermen blown off the coast; but this was only conjecture In their over-enthusiasm and despair of the possibility of be ing rescued, they had probably overtaxed the stability of their craft, and the cry heard by tho second mato was their last cry. If the second mate had responded to the first hail, and had set fire to a ball of oakum, and if ho had tacked ship at the first call and sent some ono to arouse me instead of doing it himself, thus los ing several minutes, the poor fellows might have been saved. Three days after this occurrence Cap tain Slocum's wife died, leaving three children, the youngest being James Abram Garfield Slocum, who was born in Yokohama on tho day that General Garfield was inaugurated president. Mrs. Slocum had been the captain's compan ion on his voyages for the last thirteen years, and was known in almost every seaport. She was in the prime of life, being only 35 years of age, and had al ways been a robust woman until two years ago, when her health was broken down by anxiety and fears for the safety of her husband and family during a voy age abroad. Tho captain's floating homo showed the handicraft of bis wife in tho embroidered curtains, sofa cushions and chair tidies. In tho cabin was also a Eiano upon which she played, and the ulkheads were decorated with paintings. She was buried at Buenos Ayres. The captain, speaking of the death of his wife, said: "This is the greatest calam ity of a man's life, and I feel at times al most ready to give up with grief; that I have no course to steer, and feel like a ship with no rudder even if I had a course to steer. Then I think of my dear children and feel that I must do what I can for them." Bucklcn's Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the world for Cuts, Bruges, Sores.Ulcers, Salt Rheum, Fever Sores.

Chehalis county shows an increase from assessed value in 1832 of 379.022 to 1,014,751 in 2834. The Yamhill Reporter says that George Willis of that county, threshed 125 bush els of wheat off of two acres of ground. Tho cannery at Coos bay will put up two thousand more cases than last year. Tho fish are of larger size and better quality than usual. Tho attendance now at tho State On:? vorsity at Eugene city, is said to bo too large for the room afforded bv the pres ent college building. Blackleg, says the Oregon Scout, is again raging among the cattle in Grant county, fat cattle being principally at- tacKC-u ana succurao very rapidly. Marion county owes 20,000, and tho Statesman thinks an annual exhibit should be made and kept posted in the court house, for the benefit of tax-payers. With potatoes at 25 cents, apples at 35 cents, Hour at 4 and chicken feed at 30 cents a bushel the Albany Democrat thinks that it shonld be an easy thing to get along the coming winter. It is rumored that 8,000,000 feet of logs broko loose in tho Skagit river and went out to sea during the last storm. The prico of logs on tho Sound has risen from 4J50 to 6.50 in consequence. The Albany Farmers Co., of Albany last week bought 14,000 bushels of wheat at an average of about 50 cents. A great many will sell, there being quite an opin ion prevailing that tho price will not rise. On tho 13th Louis Haquot and wife were on their way from Long Island to Bay Center when the canoo overturned. Mr. Haquet lost his hold upon tho boat and sunk from sight. The wife was drowned. Portland has eighty-eight miles of side walk, twenty-seven of crosswalks, thirty one of macadamized streets, three of Belgian pavement, two and five-tenths of plank roadway, and two and five-tenths of bridges. When the Oregon Short Line shall bo completed it is thought tho Union Pa cific will try tho expariment of shipping San Francisco freight to Portland nnd thencg by steamers of tho O. R. & N. Co., to their destination. J. B. Rinehart of Eagcno City, Oregon, has in his natural history cabinet 300 of the 450 varieties of birds found in Oregon. Ho has thirty-nine of the forty known varieties of ducks, specimens of nearly all tho waders, and nearly all the game birds. An idea of the amount of grain being sown this season, says the Weston Leader, may bo gathered from the fact that one firm in the town of Adams has already sold 4,000 pounds of blue vitriol. This is sufficient to prepare about 21,000 bushels of seed. The Spokane Falls Review predicts thrt before snow flies thero will be nearly rs big a rush to Colvillo ns thero was to Coeur d'Aleno in its paimiest days. A newspaper is already an assured fact. A well known journalist of Walla Walbi ilready has ordered the material from the East nnd will issue tho first number before December 1. The assessment of Baker county show. 41,000 cattle, 14.000 horses, 40,0-JO sheen. -',000 swine, 110,000 acres of land, thirty two miles of railroad belonging to the O. R. & N., and thirteen miles belonging to the C. S. L. The railroad is assessed at 1GS,CG8. Tho total of the taxabh property, after deducting indebtedness and exemption, is 1,950,000. It is reportel that n horse was led be hind a farm wagon to tho agricultural racos at La Grande, and in his dust cov ered o uidition entered in the three-quarter mile dash, sold a-ayjlown in the pools and then almost warned way with nis competitcr nnd carried off over t 2,003 dollars belonging to the "boys." uch things havo happened before. From thirty to forty Mormon familirs aro said to have taken up land on Chick en creek, Easteru Oregon. The report does not say whether or not they belong to the Bnghamito or the JosephiU branch of tho church, but if they are lirighamites, their purpose is to plant polygamy in this state, as they havo suc ceeded in doing in Nevada, "Idaho and Arizona.
