MATTERS A5D THI5GS IK PACIFIC COUKTT.
Ed. Astebian:
Loomis' Journal of recent date, con
tains an article signed 'Buzz Saw," and
headed "Stupidity.'
The heading is all right; nothing could
be more appropriate. But it is a question
in the minds of a great many, which was
tho most stupid, the man who wrolo the
article, or the newspaper man who nd
mitted such balderdash to his columns.
There may have been some excuse for
the editor, and for the writer thero is
certainly tho very best excuse in the
world, viz., a very meager intellect, and
a total lack of judgment, combined with
a morbid desire to see his effusion in
print, and vent his spite on John Wood
for refusing to trust him for a suit of
clothes. The signature is all right also,
but the saw was evidently put on wrong,
nnd injures no one but the sawyer.
This effussion of Buz Saw's, which the
epitoror the writer, very naturally de
nominates "Stupidity," is so intensely
stupid aud senseless, that it really de
serves no notice at nil, nor would I notice
it except that I wish to expose the man
who wrote it, as he now occupies a posi
tion where he is capable of doing consid
erable mischief.
He is a school teacher! Look at tho
composition and then weep. Ho has been
in the United States almost Uirce months!
Howfis that for n budding politician, who
proposes to review tho bygone history of
Pacific county? He has been in Pacific
county about six icccfcs. Of course he
knows all about John Wood marking
tickets four years ago.
He wants tho Journal to recommend
someonefor J. P for this precinct. How
interested he is in a precinct where he
has resided for nearly Oirec wccl&, and
been kicked out of only two houses dur
ing that time. Perhaps ho would like to
bring action against tho lady who would
not board him and against the other lady
who would not dohis washing, and would
ike a competent officer to try tho case.
But whv this vicious spite against John
Wood? The answer is very simple; he
came hero broko and asked for credit for
a suit of clothes, but his blossoming
countenance was a dead give away, and
he was promptly refused. In his com
munication ho essays to give news items,
but in a country where startling events
are of almost daily occurrence, he can
think of but one, viz: That ho came near
securing a school in ono district, and did
secure the school at another. Imagine
this astoanding intelligence falling like
a thunderbolt on Wall street. Would
stocks go up or down. Imagine this fel
low teaching school! Why, it is a crime
against nature to turn such a man loose
among a lot of innocent children.
It is but fair to state that he got the
clothes, but E. It. Woodard of Willapa
was the victim, and probably always will
be. He camo here asking favors of
everybody, and as soon as they were
granted he turns around and abuses and
insults every man in the comtnnnity.
Two years ago John Woods wns not in
the county on election day nor for two
weeks previous. Four years ago John
Wood was not in the county on election
day, and in fact has not been in tho
county on election day but once during
his ten years' residence. At the time
tickets were numbered at this precinct
A. K. Bush was inspector of election, and
showed voters tho law compelling him to
number tho tickets.
John Wood's employes, and, in fact all
having any connection with John Wood
in any way, vote prc-cisely as they like
without any interferenco on his part
whatever; let "Buz Saw,' or any one else
dispute this fact if they can.
If I am mistaken in thinking this libel
on school teachers is the author of ' Stu
pidity," let him convince mo and I will
make tho amende honorable, but my in
formant, who is a resident of tho district
where he is teaching (?) claims to have
evidence that he is the author.
And now tako a look nt the corp3 of
men who are electioneering for the court
eous and affable John Davis. If they
could add "Col." Hawkins, tho list would
bo complete, and they would eloct the
uniou ticket by acclamation. They are
all good fair representatives of tho rump
party. Do tho citizens of Pacific county
desire to keep such a crowd at tho front?
Do von admire the men or their meth
ods? Compare tho two tickets carefully
and candidly, and say which set of men
you could most cheerfully entrust with the
welfare of this county. You know them
all and their past recerds: which do you
want? The rump managers are working
hard and spending money freely, as it is
a caso of life or death with them, or rath
er of life or tcorfc which; to them, is
worse than death; but it is all of no avail:
tho fiat has gono forth; tho hand writing
is on the wall, and they will probably bo
tonging oysters next year, courteous and
affable as nsual.

REGABDIKG AK IMPORTANT KATIOSAL
IDUSTRV.
New Yobk. October 1G, 18SI.
Ed. Astebian:
Occasional instances of alleged poi
soning from tho use of canned goods
have been reported, and furnishing as
they do the basis for attractive news
items, have in many cases been given
wide publicity by tho pres3 with the ef
fect of needlessly frightening many con
sumers of canned goods and injuring this
great and growing industry. Investiga
tion of some of these alleged poisoning
cases has shown that they were either
wholly unfounded or greatly exaggerated
and the object of this communication is
to investigate cases of alleged poisoning
and seo whether the trouble may not bo
attributed with equal justice to other
causes. Canned goods being hermetical
ly sealed while fresh at the sources of
supply, we believe aroinmostcase3 fresh
er, more wholesome and palatable than
many so-called fresh articles which nro
exposed for considerable periods of timo
in city markets, and that there are fewer
cases of bad effects from the consump
tion of canned goods than from the con
sumption of a similar amount of food
not canned. Tho average annual pro
duction is now estimated to be upwards
of five hundred millions of tins or about
ten for every man, woman and child in
the United States. It has developed into
a national industry which furnishes a
much needed supply of anti-scorbutic
food during tho winter months, and in
many localities preserved provisions havo
become a necessity. H there ore any un
wholesome goods packed, reputable pack
ers desire to co-oporato with the press
and tho medical profession to prohibit
such packing, but in view of the tenden
cy to sensationalism and alarm on the
part of consumers nnd the manifest dam
age occasioned thereby, wo ask you to
thoroughly investigate the facts and be
sure that sickness may not justly be
attributed to other food or causes be
foro expressing an opinion in any case
which may como under your notice. The
result in tho enclosed memorandum of
cases which were investigated by the
American Grocer newspaper illustrates
tho tendency toward exaggeration in
such cases. "Wo havo established a bu
reau of information for tho packers of
the United States and desire all infor
mation which will tend to tho improve
ment of quality in canned goods and
will be glad if you can at any timo com
municate any facts which lend to this
result.

THE EXPEBIEXCE OF JACK LIFI15CE.
IUnftratlnp a Peculiar ThMe of Creole
Character."
Down in tho old French portion of New
Orleans it is highly unsafe for young un
married men to venture nlono. The
black-eyed beauties are only too glad of
the chance to capturo un American and
will resort to all sorts of devices to on
trap the unsuspecting youth. In order
to depict for our western friends this
peculiar phase of Creole character I will
relate the true story of tho experience of
my friend Jack Lafiance, who fell a vic
tim to Creole strategy not long ago.
Jack met tho beautiful Melanie at a
soiree dunsanle on ItucBonsEnfants. Be
ing a good dancer, and also a first-class
waltzer, ho was Mils. Melanie's partner
for many figures, and by a judicious use
of ice cream and cake gained the good
will of Melanies mamma. An invitation
to call next Sunday was accepted, and the
visitor then entreated to "call again."
Jack did so upon the Sunday following,
and was so cordially received that he re
peated his visit a third time. For my
friend Jack was an innocent soul, totally
ignorant of Creole customs, and he
walked right into the snare. On his third
call Melanie's papa tapped him on the
shoulder nnd said:
"M'sieu Lafiance, I would lak fo see
yon one minute,' and led him to the
dining-room. Suspecting nothing, Jack
followed him. Once there, tho old gen
tleman produced a decanter and said:
'Mon ami, tek some cognac. You will
fin' it ver' fine. My fodder buy it from
Cavaroc. Aha! you lake it, eh! Tek cigar
novah min', thass a real Havana, shuah.
Now, frien' Lafiance, you lak fo' know fo'
w'at I waut seo you eh bienl M'sieu La
fiance, I havo notiz yo' attention to my
daughter" here the luckless Jack began
to protest. "O, I am not displease, my
do young man! My fam'ly, seh, is one
of tho bes' in the city. Yos, seh, wo are
twenty-firs' coozin with Jean Baptist St.
Louis Do Lorme, whoso gran'fodder slap
that Spanish canaille, O'Reilly, on tho
chik a hundred year ago, as yof will fin'
wrote down by Gayarrc'. Bot, my freu'
when those Yankee r-r-rascals tek on'
plantations an' on' nigroes, seh,
we was force to leavo on' place,
seh, an' como yeh an' work' yes. An,'
ami Lafiance, I do not objec' to mv
daughtah chooso you fo' husban' no.'
Hore the unfortunate Jack broke in with:
"But. my dear sir, you are mistaken. I
did not make love to your daughter!"
The old gentleman bristled up, "My de'
sah, I love my fam'ly. Thass my h'onlv
thing yeh on earth. You have visit Me
laino Sunday after Sunday. You have
talk with her, danco with her, sing with
her. You havo compromise my daughter,
sah! They is no otheh c'oio lef a man
of honah, sah, than to nia'y her." "But
sir," blurted out Jack, "I am only a poor
clerk with 50 a month, nnd could not
support a wife, even if I wanted one."
S Ah, mon cher, thass all 'ight, tho mon
naio is nothing. You don't catch moch,
thass true. But fo' that I don' keh me.
You come live yeh, yes; an' me, I will
seo you have nice time, yes. Then, afteh
w'ilowenyo' patron ho getfo' lak yon
mo' an' give yon r-r-raiso to seyenty
fi' dollah. wo will do ver' well.
yes. So thass all fix, eh? Come, you tek
somo mo
yon don'
T suppose? Then you
stan 'ow please I feel w'en a young man
lak you hash me fo' my daughtah! Yes,
seh, you are the only young man w'at I
would ratbah havo my daughtah than
mos' anybody w'aleveh, seh!
"So wo will come back to tho salon
w'eh I will tell Melainie I havo grant yo'
demand, M'sieu Lafiance, and to tell you
tho truf, you did not tek 'mo by sopprise,
no! Ah, a fodder can see w'en his daugh
tah Iovo a young man! An' Melanie, she
love you. ah! she dream of you all night,
yes. An, seh, w'en n St. LouisDe Lorme
love sho nevau let go, no, but she lak the
polican, she dio firs'.
"Thass all 'ight, ami Jack, I will see
Pere Lo Cure, an' we will mek the an
nonccment next Sunday. You" can get
ono 1111 ring, yes, an' Melanio will be
ready for nex' mont? I know you don'
want fo'wait long. Allons, let us tell
thorn w'at we have arrange." And off
Jack was hustled to tho parlor before ho
could say Jack Robinson. And though,
as it happened, Melanie has proven an
excellent wife, there aro many who'are
not Melanies, and it is to put our visiting
friends next winter on their guard
against the wiles of designing Creolo
papas that I am constrained to publish
this true story of Jack Lafianco's court
ship. M.
