m irv i-nr irrrtfirim in ht $aito dorian ASTORIA, OREGON; WBDXSSDAY ... JULY 1. 1SS3 THE SXAP OF AX EASTERN CUR. i CoxGRBSSiiA- Towxshexd o New! York is airing Ms iguorance of the Cfaiuose question. Speaking of our rfeiations with China, he says : There is a clause iu the Burliugarae treaty by which we ohligale ourselves to furnish China with engineers whenever China is ready to embark on a system of internal improvement That clause has been wholh inoper ative hitherto, because, since Bur lingarae's time, we have been repre sented in China by broken-down political hacks. The lhttcr is an insult to the living and a slander on the ded, and shows how utterly valueless is the opinion of the man -nlio made it. Broken down political hacks! Why the late B. P. Avery, who died at his post in Pelrin, was so immeasurably superior to aaca like Towushend. that they are not to 1)8 named in the same breath. Political hacks! Towushend lies as boldly as a hired advocate of the Chinese government. The late 3Ir. Avery a broken-down political hack! The late Mi. Avery was a journalist and a genUemaa. a scholar, an art connoisseur, a big-brained, puro minded man, the intellectual peer of any man in the service of the govern ment at the time of his death. THE GRAXD JURY. The use of a grand jury should be the investigation in primle of charges made against individuals, or of abuses or other wrong-doing said to exist in public institutions. The privacy of the grand jury iuvestiga-tipirs-is. or at least wa. intended to protect citizens from the stigma that unavoidably attaches to an accusa tion of crime: and to spare them the annoyance and humiliation of the period during which the allegation is under imestigaiion. As a body, vested with the right to inquire anywhere and of anybody, in the interest of justice aud right, the grand jury has a power that might be used to the inestimable advantage of a community. Our grand juries seem to have lost sight of the object of their creation and to have gone astray from the path marked ont for their progress. Thanks to the all-corrupting iu Jlucnce of politics, and a weakened sense of pnbllc duty, our grand juries have taken to using their power to strengthen political friends and break down political enemies: to help their party and injure the opposition; and to try cases that should be left to , the arbitrament of a jury in a public courtroom. Besides, they do not Jceep their proceedings secret. The grand jury's duty used to be there is no knowing what modern lawyers may have made it now it used to be to ascertain whether a prima fach case had been made out against an accused person. If so, it. t sent the person- before the courts for trial. Now it makes itself, too flen, judge, jury and public, trios a case, hears both sides aud acquits. A SMALL MAX'S GREATXES. Minister Dkkrv evidently feels all the importance of the new appointee to an honorable and responsible office; and will probably consider himself quite a power in the woild till he brings up against the Chinese wall of ancient prejudices, rooted fashions and immovable super stitions. Then he will know how small he is, and what an unimportant man in this world an American min ister to China loully is. Denby must be very ignorant, not only of China, but of his own country, if he talks as he is said to talk about .drawing China and the United States nearer together and opening up new channels of commerce between the two countries. He will do well if ho keeps things as they are; he will do better if he strengthens tLe barrier already raised between us and China. We can get along finely without the Chinese; we could not get along at all with them. We sometimes wonder what the Pacific Coast states and territories would do, should the rest of the countiy decide to let the Chinese pour in upon us in unrestricted num bers. Should Ave move out quietly and give the country to the Chinese; sliould we stay and enter upon a hopeless struggle with them; or what should we do ? " Austin Cokbjn, returned from Europe, confirms the report that a syndicate of English capitalists is being formed to operate his scheme of a fast steamship line with a ter minus at Port Pond bay, L. I., con necting with the Long Island rail road to New York, saving, he claims, over a day andTa half on the present fastest voyage. He says: "Nothing .stands in the way of this scheme but onr ridiculous laws. Congress has been asked to put us on an equal footing with foreigners. We don't want subsidies simply. We want the right to buy these English grey hounds and put them under our flag. We erpect to get this done when the new administration has a chance to exert its influence in Congress. New York will wake up some fine day and find herself a second-class port She has driven the first-class steamers and gilt-edged passenger trade away by her outrageous barge office and kin dred political jobs.' SrcRETAnr WnrrsKY, it is said, is trimming his sails to catch a presi dential boom three years hence. Well informed, New York politicians make no secret of the fact that a Whitney boom is carefully nursed, and that with Cleveland out of the way, the secretary of the navy is the man upon whom the party will most probably unite. He comes from tho state that has furnished the de mocracy with most of its presidential candidates for a quarter of a century; his father-in-law is a United States senator and one of tho wealthiest men in Ohio. The New York Times has selected Whitney for its candidate in 18S8, and other favoring influences are mentioned as being in readiness for use from time to time, as the development of the scheme may re quire. Ik these days of ''rings" it is not surprising that there should be a "ring in fish as well as everything else. ''Last Sunday," says a San Francisco paper, " eight sea-sick am ateurs, with hook and line, in half a day caught 2,100 pounds of fish, out side the Heads. Yet the fishermen assert that the sea-lions are eating all our fish. This fish would sell at wholesale for four cents a pound, giving as t he value of the catch S9S.40, or over S12 per man. Professional fishermen would certainly have sur passed ametenrs in this catch. When fishermen can go into the very home of the sea -lion and make more than $12 a day per man, the sea-lion com petition cannot be very serious, and San Francisco fish consumers are be ing scandalously overcharged and robbed by the fish ring." The new election law of Illinois can be adopted by any incorporated town if approved by a popular vote. The law provides that the county court shall superintend all elections; election precincts shall not contain more than 450 voters; no man can vote who is not upon the registry; a canvass is to bo made or each pre cinct by the official canvassers prior to each election; triplicate returns and duplicate tallies are to be re turned, and the polls are to close at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The bill provides penalties for all infractions of the law. The bill was framed largely upon the precedents of tho Massachusetts, New York and Cali fornia laws. NnnnSKA has passed an act abolish ing grand juries in that state. That is what it is coming to. Grand juries are star chambers, fountains of in justice, powerful means of wreaking vengeance. They are un American aud deserve obsolescence. Tni: New York court of appeals has decided that oleomargarine legisla tion is unconstitutional. The De l'ouug-Sprcckles case is being tried in the San Francisco courts and newspapers. NEW TO-DAY. City Taxes. WTOTICK IS IIEKEBY GIVEN THAT TIIK JLl Tax lUt of the city or Astoria. Clatsop, county.
