CZ Tk flattg Slstemttr ASTOMA, OREGON: ,;'jnv. JCKK 12. m OR irr the AMERICAN x'be Toronto ."( makes the fol v.iag appeal to the press of the I'iitod States: " V eottsiderabie number of Ameri- . uevupcpers have allowed Ihem- Ives io indulge in unjust and un- imi'Tobh criticism of our 'war in the i t:and of our young soldiery en- : ..i-d in the dulj of Mispressing 'A J. Tberehas been mdic Tery fool- . and even a little very vulgar autl jTv-nshrc criticism, of onr volunteers c ! were not expoedd anl expended I. (General Middleion as regular ir x would have ljecn. And Ibere ino been some unwise comparisons if our mode of Indian government .nth thai of the United Stales.5' "Xow that the campaign lias, in -.(- quarter, and that lito main quar ' r, ended, and xrc arc free fromsorae I the overpowering anziety of the - tualioa, let us briefly recall the at tention of onr critical friend over the 1 rder to same of the points in the ' For -owr a center' the Canadian n rtnve?! has been governed in iKi by the most humane means, iul in a most successful manner. I or over a cenitiry the Indians of the United State have !een so badly governed, end in a man iter so in i nitons, that it lias b?en embalmed :u a volani" under the title of "A cen-t'-.ry of dishonor." On the general , round of policy the British or Cana dian system has been greatly superior t that of the United States." Wo have had two wars it is trne : bat each has been a little one : irly pat down. In 1809 70 the war vt as an expedition, and only one hff : and it secured peace for fifteen .enra. In 1K85 we have had a real var of some dimensions; and it has oot its more money and many lives: but ut less than two months the rcb cl wwe driven to tfcpir stronghelds: nuu after severe fighting, have been m?aten : their leadet is a prisener: .tud th rebels have disjersed. In the Unite I Stales similar re . ilts have not been accomplished in a .iaricr of a century, though thous ands of lives Itave bscn lost and mil lion of m jney havo been expended. eon this SKie nave secured peace probably forever. On the other side they have not secured peace at all." "Let us say also that the voting Cn nadianc who form the volunteer troops of the northwest are. as the Americans say, not wholly regulars. They are volunteers of a "very super ior order, voting men, in many cases of means, education ami spirit; but their work has been done in a work manlike manner. They have matched ami eulterel, anl eaten hard food, and done without sleep, and endured all the rigors of climate and cam paign, with a heroism as great as that of the Soudan. 11 was not only un true and unkind of the American pa pers we refer to io sneer at them; but when we reikct that Rett's rebellion derived a htrge part of its inspiration from men who won their experience on the American border, we think it was a little unfair to deprecate a campaign which has brought so much honor to those that were en gaged in it." POSTMASTEK C'KXKRAL VtLAS has stopped issuing circulars. His confi dential communications to Demo cratic congressmen are now made orally. The latest is that editors of Republican newspapers who hold postoulecs will be removed without further inquiry, if it'ean be shown that their papers dnring the canvass con tainod the Maria llalpin scandal, or. indeed, any attack upon Hie moral character of Mr. Cleveland. Mr. Vitas is emphatic. He says changes on this new ground will not be charged to offensive partisanship, but li -'indecency.' To those with whom he is on particahuly intimate rela tions he says that all of the cabinet officers have an understanding on this test, and that an official head will go off quicker because the owner had something, no matter how little, to do in spreading the scandal than for any other cause. This declaration from Mr. Vilas in behalf of himself and colleagues in the cabinet will stimulate the demand for back files of Kapubltcan nowepnpers whose own ers or editors hold federal offices. The collection of evidence on the charge of offensive iartizanship from such source? has been going on for some time, and collections of news paper clippings come in every mail. Tiindaie thing in explosives is blasting paper. Dynamite it is claimed, is nothing as compared with it, and it can be made at so small a cost that the present condition of the dynamiters' treasury would suffice to furnish enough of it to blow all of England into "smithereens."' It is the patent of a Viennese by the name of Pelry, and it is now coming into use in ei.cacting for building. It is made of common blotting paper. The paper is coated-rilh ahol mixture composed of seventeen parts of j el low pnissiale of potash, seventeen parts of charcoal, thirty-five parts of refined salt, seventy parts of chlorate of potash, and ten parts of wheat starch, added to 15,000 parts of water. The sheets are dipped into the boil ing mass and dried. Then they are cut into strips, which are rolled into cartridges, and the article is ready for use. The old plan of felling trees by means of the axe and wedges has fallen into disrepute. The lumber men of Canada, Maine, and the south ern forests now use dynamil", which is the most expeditious and effective of any means yet tried. Several channels are dug underneath the tree at the roots or bored into tho trunk. The dynamite cartridge is then placed in these channels and exploded. The tree, instead of being scattered or mutilated, as is often the case when the wedge and axe are used is lifted up out of the ground and falls intact. Large logs are split and siumw? arc raised bv the same means. Thk newspaper is, in every sense, the host medium foradvertteing; and, for a given lesult. it is In far the cheapest also. It reaches a far great er number of possible customers than any private announcement can; aud is more certain to receive attention. The private circular is thrown aside as a thing which people have come to regard a? a bore, aud which is neg lected because its recipients have no time attend to it. The newspaper is used in each day's hour of leisure, and readers find interest in reading its advertisements as well a its news, because of the variety they present aud the information they convey re specting a wide diversity of interests. It may be safely estimated than an announcement made through the press is noticed by fifty readers where mado in a private wa, it would reach but one. If, therefore, the same amount were expended in either case, the result would be filty fold better from the former method than from the latter. There are, un doubtedly, cases in which the circu lar is ?. better medium than the news paper. Lut such cases aro quite ex ceptional, and advertisers soon learn the folly of seeking publicity through privet 3 means. Sin Parnr.LtTMSDEN, interviewed at Constantinople, thought it would be very easy for the British government to render the Russian positions in central Asia untenable. If Britain only gives word, aud is willing to aid. all Turkestan would revolt against their Russian master?. He does not fear any Russian invasion of India, but he does fear the loss of England's prestige having an ill effect on the people of India, who will give undue strength to the power of Muscovite intrigues. lie said adequate measures were being adopted to make the In dian frontier extremely safe, and nothing need be feared in the direc tion of Cashmere, as that country was inaccessible from Russian territory, and fully in British hands. Ik Cnbi two hours before a newspipsr is distributed on the streets a copy must be sent, with the editor's name, to tho government and one to the censor. "When the pa per is returned with the censor s in dorsement the paper may go out to the public One of the newspapers in Havana disregards the law, pub lishes what it pleases aud when it gets ready. Every few weeks the government fines the editor and sup presses tho paper. The next day the paper appears under a new name. Its frequent brushes with the govern ment advertise it, and people buy it to see what new indiscretion it has commonced. The subscription price $2-1 a year. There was no city in Europe with a million inhabitants at the beginning of the present century, the most pop ulous being London, with 803,000 per sons, Ihere are now five European with cities upward of a million inhab itants, and the first two of which con tain in the aggregate 7,000,000 persons. In America, at the beginning of the century, there were no elites that would now be regarded as more than fourth class towns; the population of Xew York was about G0.000. At the last census there were twenty-six in the United States which exceeded that figure. The Queen of England has twenty two messengers constantly traveling back and forth with precious docu ments andber royal belie ts that can not be entrusted to the telegraph. "While she was on tho continent two of these messengers were constantly skipping back and forth, one being always on the road. - - To Rent. NESS OFFK A FIXE BUSINESS OFFICE.
