Every season there is trouble about
keeping the beach clean. Tho salmon
heads from the canneriea taint the air
and make a smell that is too loud to be
endured. Tho city has to p3y between
$200 and $300 to have tho nuisance re
moved. The canneries should be made
to pay a monthly sum, say 5 for each
cannery, as a fund to keep tho beach
clean.
Tho captain of a sohooner belonging to
the whaling fleet that put into "Victoria
reports that the season has been fairly
successful for tho sealers, his schooner
having captured already 15G skins. The
other schooners have been busy also.
Considerable difficulty has been experi
enced in securing enough Indians for tho
work. They are paid a certain amount
for each skin, and they claim that the
amount paid this year is too small. The
weather, so far, has been generally favor
able. Several American scho.iners are
lying in Keah bay. having rim in on ac
count of bad weather.
An exchange says if a man who takes
40 pounds of gilt-edged butler and GO
pounds of deodorized lard, mixes them
and sells it for good butter, should be
fined 1,000 and put in states prison for
a year, what should be done with the
woman who churns the iuilsI cream of
a week's gathering churns and gathers
till the lumps are far bigger than all
thi brains in her head and rolls
the chunks together so as to entrap
as much butter milk as possible, then
puts her product on the market and finds
her victims? Leave that to be decided
by boarding house tictims, and the man
would como out of jail and the woman
would go in. It is the everlasting smell
of such pure butter !i that "makes it
so hard to punish the oleo fiends.
"What effect will the war between
England and Russia have upon the mer
chant marine in the Pacific?' is a ques
tion thnt interests tho wheat growers and
vessel charterers of Oregon and Wash
ington. As tho English and llussiaus
are both in possession of north Pacific
territory it is probable that the flags of
these nations will bo seen in adjacent
waters. The law of nations seems to be
that a merchantman which sails from
port after tho declaration of war is a fair
prize for the enemy, so that should war
bs declared to-morrow any of the En
glish vessels leaving Astoria grain or
salmon laden would be liable to capture.
Freights and insurance are both on the
rise, though it is considered doubtful if
English underwriters would take any
insurancs in tho Pacific in case of a war.
Tho shin Sjiarlan is still in tho harbor
at Port Townseud, with her crew on

Tacoma. The captain has offered to ac
cept indemnity for injuries his vessel has
received by being lowed ashore, as fol fel fol
eows: Tho tug owners to pay one-third
the costs, ship owners one-third, and the
insurers on the cargo the other third; but
the owners of tho tug Tacotiia (the Ta
coma Mill Co.) do not accept, as they
jiropose to provo that the tug was not in
fault, and that the ship had received her
injuries whilo entering the straits of
Fnca last December, and that she leaks
no more now than she did previous to
leaving the mill at Port Ludlow.

WHAT UIK 31 Y CIUNCKSr
The usual spring crop of Idlers is daily
rect-ived at this ofiice, and no doubt at
other newspaper office., from men cast of
the Kockies, who write asking about the
country. They appear to think that the
Oregon newspapers keep a sort of infor
mation agency and furnish all kinds of
reliable-stat 'alio; free of cost to all in
quirer.. Some of the letters are funny. Tho
writer did not mean to mako them hu
:urou. but thai fact makes them all the
mure ludicrous. A baker writing from
Fon l)u Lac. Wisconsin, wants us to send
him our paper -'for a week or so, to get
idea of the place." If one of Fon
Da liacs citizens wero to ask that baker
to give him bread gratis ''for a week or
so." his answer would probably be more
forcible than polite. A St. Paul man
wants to know what teamsters are paid
here. lkatstersare in more demand than
teamsters, and even of boatsters the sup
ply is sufficient. A good boatster by work
ing all night and the greater part'of the
day, and living mostly in his boat, can
make probably enough to- keep him
through the year. If ho bs drowned the
dividends paid to his heirs and executors
and assigns are not excessive.
A young gentleman who doth write a
fair and clerkly hand, writes from Crest
line. Ohio, askius what the probable
show is for "a lawyer." This family
journal is firm in the bejief that there are
lawyers enough here now. A little more
competition might overdo the thing. Ev
ery lacihty is already afforded present
lifigauU and although an additional term
of court hath been ordered for this baili
wick, yet the Increased stress npon the
Astoria b.tr c.tn s bji no without undue
effort on the part of its memlers.
Without the slightest desire to subdue
the aideni tntlnwHsni of those who wish
to make their homer, in the setting sun,
it may be in order to suggest that if thoy
severally and individually come here to
work aiid stand in on n'l occasions they
will find plenty 1 1 do and due encourage
ment. It our correspondent from Mil
waukee, for instance, who"has had charge
of a saw mill," will conio hero and got a
bit of laud on the other side of the hill,
which will be gladly leaded him by the
owner, and put it into cultivat able shape,
and rai e vegetables and garden truck,
he will find a ready 3ale for every morsel
of it at good prices right here, and if he
sticks to it he will be independent in
three or four or five or six years, but if
he comes looking for "j. job" aiidotpects
to gel enough 10 buy opera tickets with
he would do better to look for a summer's
sit in a Milwaukee brickyard. There is
any amount of room here. This is one
of therom'es s;clions in Uncle Sam's
dominions and opportunities arc not
wanting; but they must be embraced with
a warm, fervent 'embrace, and to grow
tired is to fail.
A good many pursuits here are over
done; a good many moro are decidedly
under done, and those are ready for tho
right men to develop.
In general, however, it may be said that
there are in all communities of the north
west busy, active, wideawake men who
are well acquainted "back east, who have
a brother or a cousin or some one who
only needs tho word to start right out
here. These men keep a bright look out
and as soon as they see anything that
they think a living can bo mado at thoy
aro not slow in telling their folks oast of
the Hockiea about it, and it is in this way
that the greater part of our immigration
is mado up. In tho main this is tho bet
ter way. A man who drifts hero in asort
of speculative uncertainty as to what he
will do after ho is here has the chances
against him from the start. It would be
better for him to have some Bort of pro
gramme arranged and live up to that as
closely as possible. A very essential part
01 mat programme, as lar as Astoria is
concerned, is to havo sufficient coin about
him to carry him somewhere else if ho
doesn't conclude to stay here, or enough
to keep him for a whilo if ho does.
Another suggestion to the ardent young
man who has written "Excelsior on his
banner and proposes to carry it via tho
northwest Pacific coast, that he weigh
well the adventure. There are men here
just as well up in experience, in ability.
and in tut attributes that win success as,
probably, he is himself. There are men
who have knocked around from one end
of the continent to the other; who have
had their eye teeth cut many moons ago;
who arc able to seo and turn their sight
to advantage. Ability is not at such an
astonishing premium as some of our
would-ba immigrants would bv their cor
respondence seem io imply.
To the worker, the man with honest
purpose, the man who is not in too big n
hurry to get rich, the man who is willing
to "live and let live,' there is plenty of
room and no lack of oportanity in any
pari of this section, and every "one will
pay him tho va!u6 he sets upon himself
if he can show that he hasn't marked
himself up too high.
API' IU Ill's FOK TESTING SEU.i'lM'lNS.
The object of this invention, recently
patented by M. C. Hutching of this city,
is to test sealed can for tho purpose of
detecting leaky ones in time to seal them
and prevent the contents from becoming
decomposed. A cylindrical iron or steel
vessel, placed horizontally, is provided at
one end with a hinged door which may
be held closed hermetically. The cans to
be tested are placed on a truck running
on a track laid within the vessel. The
cylinder is furnished with a pressure
gauge and safety valve, and is connected
with a pump for filling tho vessel with
air under pressure. After remaining in
the vessel for several minutes, the com
pressed air is allowed to escape suddenly.
The air has time to find its way into all
cans which are not soldered perfectly
tight, so that an equilibrium of pressure
i maintained outside and inside; but
upon tho sudden relief of exterior pres
sure, the air within the defectiva can
fails to find ready exit, owing to the small
size of the openings in them, and hence
exerts a strong outward pressure, tuerebv
bulging one or both Heads, 'ino bulged
cutis can easily be assorted from the rest,
and are then soldered and again tested;
by tuis means great losses 111 material
and freight aro avoided.

KEXAKKS OH THE COURT.
On nidiuUtin? the Complaint Agalnxt F. n.
Wlntoa.
The following is the substance of Judgo
Thayer's remarks upon tho occasion of
passing upon tho motion made in the
supreme court of this -state to disbar F.
D. WidGon from practice befora the bar
of Oregon.
State ex rel McCormick, vs. F. D. Win
ton. There are two issues in thi3 casa as
it is presented to us. Tho first m whether
Wintou had any knowledge of District
Attorney McBride to dismiss tho cases
referred to in tho complaint. We cannot
conclude that he had, because it apnea rs
in the crass-examination of McIJride
ihat he did not himself know at the time
whether he would enter a discontinu
ance, although he thought he might.
Hence that issue must be found for the
defendant.
The next point is the purpose for which
he took the money. It is admitted by him
that he received $900 from Mrs. Collins.
If he obtained'this money for such 2 pur
pose as ahe alleges, it would be a very se
rious offense. The office of an attorney
implies duties of a high and responsible
character. As officers of the court, they
are credited by this department with suf
ficient ability" to manage matters at law,
and integrity to discharge their duties
with fidelity, and their licr-nse to practice
in iho courts is a certificate to the confi
dence of the community. It i the duty
of the courts to see that they do not
abuse this confidence, and if they do the
courts should summarily disbar them.
Oar whole system for the adininistratipn
of inslice is so dependent upon the in
tegritj and fidelity of attorneys that the
manner in which thoy perform thoss du
ties become n matter of the highest pub
lic concern. The most important busi
ness interests and ften tho liberty and
even the lives of their clients are, to some
extent, dependent upon their skill and
faithfulness. Clothed with such duties
and responsibilities, it is natural and
proper that a hign standard of prof e&sioual
conduct should ba required by the public.
There is no class in tho commnnity who
nossess more of ceneral confidence, or
of whom more is expected than attor
neys, and to their credit bo it Raid, these
expectations arc not often disappointed.
For the attorney tuero is out ono roau 10
permanent success, and that is by the
highway of honesty nnd tair aeanng.
The taking of tho money by tho de
fendant under the circumstances dis
closed in the testimony, the court cannot
sav was for the corrupt purpose charged,
but at the same timo we cannot counte-
nanco the proceeding. Mr. Wmton hud
been employed to defend those parties.
Two bad been tried mid convicted, an- j
other had been tried and the jury dm
agreed. It appears there was a strong j
icenug against meso panics .mu u. jus.
Collins, in consequence of her relations
with McCormick felt a special interest in
him and desired to pay an additional fee
in the expectation that his case would re
ceive more attention or that he would be
defended with greater energy, it would
havo been proper enough for tho attor
ney to tell her that the case was a bad
one, that public sentiment was against
them, and that she ought to pax him a
larger fee than had been contracted for.
Had this been all tho transaction might
not have been considered improper. Hut
this is not all. According to the defend
ant's statement the money was to be ussd
to influence public sentiment in some
way that he does not clearly define. This
is doubtless tho most favorable construc
tion that can bs put upon tho transac
tion, nnd while it may not bo criminal, it
was, to say the least, a highly improper
it not unprofessional unaertaiang. xne
money paid was a large sum, and on tho
defendant's own showing, it wa3 to be ap-
pneu 10 an improper, 11 u. jweymuauio
purpose. That vory little 01 11 seems 10
have been so applied does- not holp the
case for him. True, the defendant may
not have demanded the sum, and the
ppynienl may have - been voluntary,
but that is exactly where a. proper sense
of his professional duties ought to have
resiraiueu mm. xie migui uuio uicjicu
additional compensation if the woman
with full knowledge of all the facts ,
chose to pay it; but-in that ereut hw
ns3ociato should havo shared m it. It
crops out in the testimony that there is
an estrangementbetween Fulton and the
defendant. In view of the facts 4his is
not to be wondered at. The defendant's I
conduct in making a pnvaie urrange-
ment for a larger fee, which was to be I
kept a secret from Mr. Fulton, his asso- J
ciate counsel, was as extraordinary as it I
was inexcusable, and we feel bound to
express our emphatic disapproval of hislRold in,tlie nPper Nehalera country "is a
course in tho matter. At the same time,
unless it is established that ths money
was taken with a view or upon a prom
ise to corrupt the officers or spirit uway
witnesses, or in some way to thwart the
administration of justice, the relator has
not made oat such a case as would au
thorize the court to disbar the defend
ant. The questionable character of the
witnesses, and their contradictory state
ments to different persons, leaves a doubt
in our minds upon this point. But ac
cepting the defendant's explanations as
true, his conduct betrays p striking want
of that high sense of the duties and re
quirements of his profession, which overy
attorney should cultivate and maintain,
as well toward the courts as to his clients
and the public.
It is not a pleasant duty to be called
upon to make such remarks as these to
any member of the bnr, but it is due to
the profession and necessary to the
maintenance of the dignity of the courts
and n proper respect for tho administra
tion of justice.

A FEW HKHAHKS FKOJl "JIEKCHVNT."
Ahtouu, April 10, lt8.".
Enrrou Asteuux:
In the controversy ill your paper re
garding the interests of the farmer, mer
chant, and citizen, argued by farmer and
citizen, would it notba well that ths mer
chant replied to both the arguments and
facts before the public decide who i.s
right or wrong.
As far as the general arguments are
concerned, the editorial in your pap&r of
the 8th very thoroughly answers them i.i
full.
hi answer to the fauts a. stated by far
mer, I will cite theptir of calf skinluats
for which he says he wonld have to pav
$11 or $12 in Astoria. When in fact
he could purchase a nice pair of French
calf skin boats as low as 5.30. and the
finest opera boots for $7 a pair. As to
the suit of clothes, he can buy a good
wearing wool suit of clothes for$li, and
a nice black diagonal dress suit for $170.
In hats he can bay one here as low as $'.
up to the best hats manufactured a:
:j"4.30 and $ each. In white shirts, or
any article worn by either man or woman,
he can purchase in this city a better arti
cle for the money than in any city on the
Pacific coast. If the other necessaries of
life are dearer in Astoria than elsewhere,
it naturally must be the fault of the
farmers who. as producer, can regain t
tho spine.
Farmer also speaks of a sawing ma
chine. Perhaps he is not aware that he
can get a sewing machine at almost any
price, and that there are often inferior
articles put upon the market to deceive
the public, and perhaps" this particular
machine he speaks of is one of the Chi
cago singers, and not a genuine Isaac
Singer machine; it is upon these points
that the public generally errs. For illus
tration, 1 will relate a single instance that
came within my experience while retailing
dry goods in an eastern city. Ono day a
man and his wife while trading asked for
some waterproof cloth. When I asked
if they wanted tho best, or a cheaper
quality, they then asked how many qual
ities there are, and when I told them
there were thou six ranging from 80 cents
to $l.J0 per yard, they astonished
mo by informing ma that they had al
wa3's believed that thcro was" only one
quality, and that was waterproof.
In answer to "Citizen" there is little
more to say, than that if ho had
closely observed he would have discov
ered the fact that thero arc merchants in
Astoria who have kept pace with trans
portation and aro not only competitors
of Portland merchants, but San Fran
cisco a well, which fact lias been learned
by the people of the countrv and aloug
the river as far up a3 SI. Helens, who
have done the bulk of their trading in
this city for over a year or more and it
is to the interest of the farmers, mer
chants nnd citizens of this county to re
tain .all such trado and obtain more.
