The Blaine and Logan club met at their headquarters and marched with the Scandinavian Blaine and Logan club to Upper Astoria, whero a rousing meeting was held in the second story of tho Columbia Canning Co.'s premises, at half past seven last evening The meeting was called to order by E. P. Hoff, who said: "I tako pleasure in n- troducing C. W. Fulton, who will address vou on the political issues of the day. Allow me to lake this occasion of saying that the Scandinavian Blaine and Lo gan club is a thorough and complete or ganization; and that as Americans we have organized to aid in the election of the Republican candidates for the presi dency and vice-presidency of the United States." Mr. Fulton was received with applause, and after paying a high tribute to tho Scandinavians as a people, as a reason ing, thinking, law-abiding race who were interested in good, sound govern ment and naturally wanted none but good men placed in high positions. It was for all to reason and judge for them selves, to do that which was best for tho country; if a man did that ho would do that which was best for himself. The first question was in regard to tho policy of tho two parties whose leaders asked for tho popular vote. Each party had principles and plat forms; had chosen their candidates and it was for his hearers to say who should get their votes Blaine or Cleveland. What are the records of the parties? "1 shall vote the Republican ticket, for I believo the country will be the better governed at the hands of the Republignu party than at tho hands of their op ponents." On the great absorbing question of tho tariff the Republican party cime .square ly out for a protective tariff. American labor domands this; American prosperity requires this: it is the first duty of every American citizen to guard tho interests of his own country, be hn native or adopted. The Democratic party declare for free trade; they say 'wo want a tariff for reve nue only; throw wide the doors and let all the world compote against our manu factures."' As a business proposition it can be said that the welfare of our coun try depends upon the prosperity of the laborer; tho laborer must be protected; what brings men and women to this country except to better their condition. They come from every nook of Europe, they come and they are thrice welcome; let them como and share our prosperity, but let them swear allegiance to the stars and stripes and stand by tho colors of our adopted country in upholding the party that upholds tho price of labor. No matter what business it is, it is for the interest of Americans everywhere that the price of what we produca shall bo high, that we may bo able to make a decent support by the labor of our hands; it is necessary that we build up manufac tures here at home and thus have a home market. This is something that needs no explanation nor argument. Passing to the records of the two parlio3, tho speaker cited certain Demo cratic pamphlets in which the Republican party is accused of having given uwai the public lands. This is infamous dem agoguery tho records how differently. Thos. A. Hendricks was in congress and voted for the first railroad grant, in com pany with his fellow Democrats, Of all tho l.r0,000,000 acres "ranted to corirora- tions, a large portion of it was granted the railroad companies by Democratic administrations before tho Republicans came into power. Regarding the home stead act it need but bo said that a Dem ocratic president vetoed the bill, and it was reserved for a Republican adminis tration to give ever3 American citizen the right to choose 100 acres of land for himself and family. The Democratic party throughout was but a reminiscence; a terrible memory of a fugitive slave law, of a day when bloodhounds tracked men and women through tho swamps of tho south as tho unfortunato slave turned his face toward where the north star of freedom blazed. Tako tho issues of tho past or the pres ent take the history of the parties or their present attitude, it will be found that the Republican party was tho party of freedom and pregress: the Democrats never learned anything or forgot any thing. They say they want "a change;" probably they moan "a chance." Take tho two candidates; their record as statesmen, comparo them; no lan guage is necessary. Blaine has been tho foremost ueurc in American politics for many years; ho has been a leader in de bate, has had advanced views on matters of public policy and has been honored with tho highest offices in universal rec ognition of his services. Take Cleve land: he is a nonentity, only recently emerged from obscurity and has neither tho ability to express an opinion nor the courage to maintain it. Take the vico presidential candidates. The Republicans had tho soldier-statesman, John A. Lo gan; the Democrats had the man that counseled co-operation with tho south whon the nation was in the throes of a gigantic rebellion. Compare tho men and vote for him who deserves best of his country. It was charged against Blaine that ho was too aggressive, that his foreign policy would be too brilliant. Blaine's ''aggressiveness" consists in protecting an American citizon tho world over, and in proclaiming that the folds of tho American flag should protect a citizen of tho United States in whatover sea it floated. The speaker then entered upon an ex planation of Blaine's policy, which he showed was ono of peace, a broad, pacific, humane policy that would do away with jangling and quarreling and enable all the Republics, North American and South American, to go forward to a peaceable and prosperous future. Tho matter of the ''Mulligan" letters was gone over and explaned for the thou sandth time, the business transactions that called out the correspondence being ventilated and dwelt upon. "Now, then," said the speaker, ''whom shall we vote for?" (A voice, ''Blaine".) Tremendous applause. The speaker closed in a brilliant peroration, after which throe cheers were given for Blaine and Logan, three more for C. W. Fulton, and tho procession reforming marched back to headquarters.

TIIKTEUKCOD- Dr. Bean, tho naturalist, who investi gated tho fisheries of Alaska, believed that the Pacific codfish are identical with tho '-Gadus Morrhua" of tho Atlantic, as they have tho three dorsal fins sepa rate and distinct from each other, two separate anal fins, and a small barbel un der the chin. But more recent mvesti Kati0ns have provotl that tliDro is a con- siderable difference between the Atlantic and Pacific cod, tho latter being named by Professor Jordan. "Gadnsmacroceph alus." Tho most noticeable difference is in the tongues and sounds, which, either salt or fresh are considered by New Eng land people as delicacies. The eastern cod have a large sound, which when boiled is gelatinous and rich eating. The "sound" of the Pacific cod is little more than a shrivelled skin, and tho tongues nro tough and hard. This difference is very marked in the salted ones which are brought to Paget Sound from San Fran cisco, both tho eastern and Pacific varie ties. It only requires one trial to con vince any one of the superiority of the eastern fish in this particular. Tho flesh of the Pacific cod Is also somewhat different from the Atlantic va riety or else the style of curing causes the difference. Some of tho dried codfish 1 have seen, although to all appearance equal to eastern cod, prove very different when cooked, being hard and tough and the consistence of horn, which no amount of boiling or stoaming could make tender. This has been attributed to the lime in tho salt with which they were cured, and there is a notable quan tity of lime in most of tho salt made on tho Pacific. I have eaten of theso cod fish which were cured with the same kind of salt that is used by Gloucester fisher men, and they were still much harder than eastern cod. Thi-i hardness may be occasioned, as has been suggested to mo by eastern fish ermen whom I have met on Puget souud, by the fish remaining too long on board of vessels "in kench," before they aro dried. The codfish cured at San Fran cisco are taken in the Okohtsk sea and in the vicinity of tho Schoumagin isiands, Alaska, where the fishing vessels aro en gaged several nonths in tho fisheries; then tho voyage to San Francisco occu pies a still longer period of time, and not unfrequently after the arrival of the vessels the fish remain on board several weeks before they are put on flakes to be dried. This long time in which the fish remain m kench causes the fnirry to per meate the flesh, when it assumes the properties of fish glue, and when dried in the arid climate of San Francisco or Sancilits tho fish acquire a horn like consistence which prevents their cooking tender like Atlantic cod. I have formed this opinion from my own observation, for I have seen codfish cured at Neah bay, and at Port Angelos, W. T., as soon as caught, and they were very excellent. I also saw, at Masset, Queen Charlotte islands, during tho summer or inn, cod fish which had been salted nt tho Hud son Bay Company's Postal that place, which were caught off Masset inlet, and they were equal to eastern cod in tender ness. They were cured with Liverpool coarse fine sack salt. Tho best method of curing tho Pacific cod for family use is to pack them in pickle like salt salmon. This can only be done at the fishing stations, as it would not pay for vessels to pack their fish in barrels. The market has not been supplied with codfish in that shape as yet, but as soon as the taste for pickled cod fish has been acquired, it will be found tho most satisfactory method of treating Pacific cod until tho fishermen will try and dry them near where thoy are causht. Objection hasbeen urged that tho climate of Alaska is too humid. But the Indians find no difficulty in curing their fish, and if it was found that tho climato would not admit of curing them as hard and dry as in California, yet every fisherman knows that in order to cure codfish to perfection, it requires frequent turning and handling to let tho air pas3 through it properly. It never should bo allowed to remain in kench too long. "The more it is handled tho better it will make." is an old fisherman's proverb. No fisher-; man of Gloucester would think of carry iug his fish to South Carolina or Florida to cure them, and it is equally preposter ous to tako tho cod of Okohtsk or Alaska to San Francisco. They can, however, bo brought to Puget Sound and properly cured. A few years ago a schooner was fitted ont at Port Townsend and proceeded to Shoumagin islands, whero she caught a cargo of fish which were brought back and cured in Port Townsend bay. These fish were exceptionally fine, but there was no market for them on Paget Sound, and they were sent to San Francisco, where tho fish dealers' combination purchased them at their own figures, which were unremunerative, and the business was abandoned. Tho fact, however, was demonstrated that the climato at Port Townsend, Dnngeness and Port Angeles is well adapted for curing fish, and as Puget Sound is 700 miles nearer the cod fishing banks than San Francisco, it is but reasonable to predict that ere long it will become tho center of the fisheries of the North Pacific. The Canadian government, through its department of the "Marine and Fisher ies," is taking a great interest in the de velopment of the fisheries of the province of British Columbia, and already it'has been intimated that if the United States. through its fish commission, will make a move towards the fisheries of this coast. the Dominion government, or tho Enc- nau iutciuiuuui, wm juiu m iuuKing in vestigations from the Columbia river to Alaska, to discover tho fishing grounds which must exist along tho coasts, and which will prove a mine of wealth to the citizens of the whole northwestern por tion of Oregon, Washington, British Co lumbia and Alaska. Although, as I have shown, the Pacific cod differs from tho Atlantic in the tongues and sounds, and in being a tougher fish to cook, there seems to be no difference in quantity or quality of the oil yielded by the livers, although from the comparative snipllness of the Pacific cod fisheries as compared with those of the Atlantic, this industry is not at pres ent of any importance; Btill tho fact is worth knowing, as it may yet develop into profitable proportions. In speaking of our cod fisheries, one thing should bo borne in mind, that our citizsns hare paid but little attention to this valuable fish. Tho salmon and smaller varieties aro so abundant and so easily procured, and the market so ex ceedingly limited, that it has not paid to go to the expense of a fishing outfit. But the waters of our coast swarm with fish, not only the cod, which we aro at present discussing, but countless other varieties, ono of which it will be proper to men firm -iti iitnnpfinn nrifli f hn if3nrnc,' tion in connection with tho "Gadus: cultus cod. This is the ,'Ophiodon elongatus," called green cod, cultus cod, Bultulo cod, etc This fish is plentiful in the waters of Fuca strait and Puget sound, and is sold by dealers in Victoria and olsowhero as codfish, which, in general appearance and markings, it somewhat resembles. But tho Ophiodon differs materially. Its dorsal finis continuous from head to tail, and all its fins are thick and gelatin ous. It has no oil in its liver, but a fatty substance permeates tho flesh which causes the salted and dried specimens to assume a stained or rusty appearance very detrimental to its market value. This fish, fresh, is quite equal to the true cod, but much richer. It grows to a largo size, somo exceptional specimens I have seen weighing 75 pounds, but the average iB from 10 to 2o pounds. As a pickled fish it is exoellent.but dried it is not much sought after bv the eniemva. This fish has powerful jaws armed with lonfitsnarp teem and when it makes a bite it holds on with the tenacity of a bulldog. Tho Indians of Capo Flattery take advanfcigo of this peculiarity and capture great numbers by trolling with a hook baited with a psrch or rock fish. It has the reputation of being one of the most voracious fishes on the coast. It is not an infroquent occurrence when an Indian has caught a rock cod or a kelp fish that a cnltus cod will snap at tho captive fish and hold on till ho is hauled into the canoe and knocked on tho head, with the fish club, always at the Indian's hand. Tho ,'gadus morrhua," or true cod, is easily known by having nine fins; two pectorol, two ventral, two anal and three dorsal, and a barbel under its chin. The "ophiodon elongatus," or cultus cod, has one continuous dorsal fin and no barbel. It scorns strange that there should be so much confusion in tho names of our fishes, especially the cod, and that the names of rock cod should be applied to spiny fishes of such species as the Ssbastichthvs." of which the red group er, "S. ruber,5' is a well known instance, as well as many other members of the "Scorpamidaj" family. Fishermen gives names of eastern fish to any new variety thev see bearing any resemblance to the fish" of the Atlantic; but tho fish of the Pacific, as well as tjie forest trees, are not identical with those of the Atlantic. Our hemlock, spruce and pine differ from the hemlock, spruce .and pine of tho eastern states, and the so-called rock cod, mack erel and hako of our waters are as differ ent from tho eastern fish of those names as are the forest trees. If we could find somo common names descriptive and easily spoken, It would be a good thing, for scientific names are not adapted for common use, and is questionable if even the inventors of new words for scientific purposes can always explain their real meaning, or why they could not have adopted something that common lip3 can pronounce. Ono of tho big coarse clams of Paget Sound is loaded down with the names "Lutraria capax" (Gould, "Scbi zothoerus nuttalu"(Conrad), and "Tresus raaximus" (Gray), and yet with all these fine names it is but a poor 'clam which most white persons reject. Tho Makahs at Cape Flatten- call the true cod "Kadati," the cultus cod "Toosh kaw," and the black cod "Beshow." My next communication will give an account of this rare and delicate fish. James G. Swan. Ass't U. S. Fish Commissioner, in Portland Journal of Commerce. TWEMV-XISE YEARS ACJO. Captain Keyes was in command of Company M, Third artillery, in 185T, and came up hero on the old steamer Califor nia, Captain W. L. Dall, arriving off tho bar about i o'clock on a November after noon. ''Although a fierce wind had cot ered the whole bar from shore to shore with a whito foam, it was decided to cros3 at once. There was a pilot on board, and he and the captain stood together on the bridge. The head of steam was in creased to secure steerage way in tho bil lows, and we moved up against a strong ebb tide, at a fair rate of speed, until we reached about midway in the passage, when a flue collapsed, drove all the bum mer coals from under one of tho boilers and set fire to the ship, which immediate ly lost headway so much that sho ceased to obey her rudder, xue pilot lost cour age, exclaiming, 'She's a goner,' and leaped down from the bridge. Captain Dall instantly resumed command, called out to tho firemen to feed the remaining fires with Inrd and tallow, and after a few seconds the ship began to move forward, and at tliG end of an hour were anchored off Astoria. When the steamer lost head way the lead showed a draft of water ex actly corresponding with that of the ves sel, but fortunately sho did not ground. Had sho struck, not a soul on board could by any possibility have been saved. Some of the soldiers came to mo in terror.as they saw the pilot quitting his post, and asked what they should do. I replied, "Take hold of that hose and let us put out the firo in the hold." I carried tho end down tho steps as far as I could breathe, the men pumped, and in a short timo the flames were extinguished. General Wool was perfectly calm, as were the other offi cers, but it is certain none of us ever es caped a greater danger than on that oc casion; and such was the opinion of tho eight or ten ship-masters who were among tho passengers.'
