Hero is one way: "When you want a ton of coal don't buy it from a local dealer; send your money away; from $10,000 to 515,000 a month is spent in Astoria for fuel: send it all away where you'll never get it again. If you want a suit of clothes don't be silly enough to buy from an Astoria tailor; send to Portland or wait till some San" Pran cisco man comes along; he'll take your measure and your money; if you want a piano don't stop to think that thero are' merchants here who will sell to you as good and as cheap as any one can; go or send to Portland for the piano; if 'you want a dress or a cloak or a spring hat, don't go spending your money in town; go to Portland or send down to San Francisco; if you want a few bill heads or letter heads printed don't give the job to the printers here; they'd get sassy if they wcreirt kept down aud made feel their inferiority; send your little job to Portland; of course you'll pay just as much, but you've showu your smartness; it you want a newspaper don't take one that works for you, for the city, for the best interests of all; that chronicles your birth, your marriage, your death, send your mon ey away; if you do otherwise your pa per might one day get to be of some consequence, and that would never do; Whatever you want send away for it; send the cash along with it When yon want credit go to the merchants in your own tewn: "stand them off," make theni wail; they don't need the money; they're only keeping open for their health. When you havo a house to build send to Portland for all the doors, sash, windows, hard ware, lumber, mechanics and every thing else. People that are in busi ness here arc in business just for the fun of the thing. If you have 5 or S10 or 100 to spend don't. let a cent of it get into circulation in Astoria; send awav for everything. Of course Astoria merchants may keep big stocks and constantly try to have what is called for; of course if the money were spent here it would be in circulation rand we'd, all be that much better off; but if you do that we'd all getso prosperous after awhile that it would be irksome to bear the load of wealth. One thing .mere: When you find a man that pays all his honest debts, who keeps his credit gilt-edged and never sends the collector away with out the money, don't patrouizo him; pick out some scrub who is on the gouge and. who will give you the pleasure of knowing that he is cheat ing you. Here is the way to make times good in Astoria. How do you like it? It's juBt what yon are doing. If you know a better way adopt it and take these well meant and homely hints in the same kindly spirit that they are offered. It is 'probable that at the next ses sion of congress a bill will be passed to transfer the pension bureau from tlieTnterior,to the war department. The president will recommend this change in his annual message, and the Democrats in tho bouse and senate will almost unanimously support it. Under tho present condition of affairs, the secretary of the interior has, the Indian,rpension, patent and land busi ness of the government in charge. This work is considered" to be entirely too heavy for .any one individual to properly supervise. In making a transfer of the pension bureau to the war department, the secretary of war will have immediate supervision of the system, and it is suggested that offi cers of the army, whenever -practicable, shall be detailed to attend to pen sion business in different parts of the country. The records most in de mand for the adjustment of pension cases are now in the war department in the surgeon-general's office. Postmaster Pearox of New York has been earnestly puslied for reap pointment at the hands of President Clgveland, a quasi promise having been given by the president that he would be. His term of office expires to-day. He is a Republican, but did all he could, which was a good deal, to help beat Blaine. If Cleveland ap points him there will be a row; "if he doesn't appoint him there will be a row; be is a political Benedict Arnold and may, probably, get bis reward. It is rumored in London that the Russians under' General Komaroff havo captured Pendjeh, and that Lord Duffer in, viceroy of India, has threatened to resign unless given fuller power to .carry out .Iris plans for the defense of the Afghan frontier. Montaxa folks are talking up a nice little scheme to get into the Un ion. They have already adopted a state constitution; they propose to elect a Democatic senator, a Repub lican senator, a congressman and then ask recognition as a state. The idea is a good one, but it -wont work. Ex-Sejatob NESMiTHhas recovered sufficiently from his attack of insani ty and the asylum authorities having allowed him his liberty, he has re turned to his homo in Polk county. The present prince of Wales is the seventeenth royal son who has borne the title since it was established in 12Si, and the first who has lived to see a son attain majority. The fund to be presented to Bis marck by his admirers on the 70th an niversaryof his birthday, on April 1st, now amounts to $750,000. The belief in London now is that both England and Russia are trying to find an easy way out of the Afghan difficulty. NEW TO-DAY. Lost or Misplaced.
