ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY AUGUST IS. 1SS5
A monument vrill be erected in
New York bj- American Hebrews to
commemorato tho memory and vir
tues of Sir Moses Montcllore.
l'Ror. Belt, proposes to improve
upon the telephone by enabling a
picture to be taken of the person at
the other end of the wire. That will
be nice.
The fact that there is an cx-confed-erate
colony in Brazil has almost been
forgotten, even in the south. The ex
iles have doubtless learned by this
time that the war is over, and perhaps
they will soon come flocking back.
Next month the Kentucky distill
ers will have taxes amounting to $1,
500,000 to pay on 5,000,000 gallons of
whisky in bond. This whisky has
been mortgaged to its full value. If
the government orders the whisky
seized for the taxes, the distillers pro
pose to bring suit against the collect
ors for damages.
Tun president seems to have com
mitted an xinpardouable sin, m the
estimation of the Democrats of Mc
Conuellsburg, Pa., because he ap
pointed as postmaster, tin Ohio cler
gyman who supported St. John in
1SSL They are very indignant, and
arc taking active steps to demonstrate
that the new .postmaster is an "offen
sive partisan."
According to the statistics col
lected by the Baltimore Sun, out of
3,377 murders committed last year in
the United States, the perpetrators
were punished with death in only 313
cases, and 210 of these perished b'
lynch law. Only one murderer in 33,
therefore, is hung according to law
in this great counts y, asid one in
about fifteen by irregular methods.
Ten out of 11 escape the gallows al
together. Tnis couutry paid a large price for
the privilege of catching fish in Can
adian waters for a term of years.
The privilege was not worth the
price, and the United State3, being
now clear of the bad bar gain, will
never pay it again. Besides this com
pensation to Canada, wo admitted
her fish free of duty to the United
States. The fisher agreement being
no longer operative, tho tariff on this
particular product of Cauada is in
force. As tho case now stands Cana
da is courteously allowing Americans
to fish as much as they please in her
waters, and wo are taxing her fish
when lauded in American ports.
One of the last act3 of Minister
Kassou before he gave place to Min
ister Pendleton at Berlin, was to send
to the state department a debt state
ment of the various nations of Eu
rope as recently published there. It
makes a very interesting showing
when compared with the debt of this
country which some people suppose
to bo very large. Our debt, as every
body knows, is a trifle less than 81,
500,000,000. According to Minister
Kasson's statement, Austria's debt is
$750,000,000, Italy's S2,250,000,000.
Russia's a little over 3,000,000,000,
England's over $3,500,000,000, and
that of France more than $5,250,000,
000, making her debt per head $123,
or more than five times as much for
each individual as is the debt in the
United States.
The French newspapers are just
now quite indignant that Russia and
Germany are putting up tho exclud
ing bars of their protective tariffs
against Fresich manufactures. They
are especially angry because the Rou
manians have levied a duty of 50 per
cent against French goods. The
French protectionists do not consider
that these nations are retaliating
against French duties on their pro
ducts. The inevitable tendency of
retaliatory tariffs is to make the'mar
kets more difficult of access. The
tendency of all high protective duties
is naturally to limit international
commerce. The French tariff ap
proaches nearly to prohibition, and
Frenchmen should not be surprised
or indignant if they are paid back in
their own pet coin.
There are now seven parties of
Canadians imprisoned on the shores
of Hudson's bay, whero they were
left last year for purposes of observa
tion in furtherance of a plan for
opening direct water communication
between the northwest territory and
the Atlantic ocean. Supplies for
eighteen months were given them,
with the expectation that they could
easily be relieved this summer. The
Arctic steamer Alert was sent for
them, bat got so badly jammed in the
ico that she has been compelled to
return to Halifax, whence her start
was made, for repairs. Probably
there will be another attempt to reach
the adventurers before the season
shall close, but if it prove a failure
thoy will have to remain where they
are a year longer, or several mouths
beyond the period for which they
were provisioned. Their experience
is not likely in any event to encour
age the notion that Hudson's bay can
be safely depended on as a commer
cial route through which tho pro
ducts of the northwest can be for
warded to European markets.
According to the report of tho
United States engineer, the,, jetties at
the mouth of the Mississippi river are
in excellent condition and serve tho
purpose of deepening the passes ad
mirably. Changes in the channel
since the survey in 1SSA have been
few. The point of least depth in tho
passes now is 30 feet. In the jetties
proper, tho least depth is now 31j
feel. The New Orleans Turns Dem
ocrat in speaking of this report, says
that "an interesting fact brought out
is the condition of the gulf beyond
the outer ends of tho jetties. What
effect the outpour of sediment of the
river would have here has losig been
a question of great moment and in
terest. Last year the vast space
shoaled threo and one-half feet, but
this year it was scoured to a depth of
one and one-fifth feet, 1,500,000 cubic
yards being washed away. Daring
the whole nine years that the jetties
have been operated the deposit in the
gulf here has been 9,000,000 cubio
yards, covering an area of ono and
one-quarter square miles seven feet;
but as tho investigation this year
shows, this deposit is decreasing
rather than increasing, one-sixth of
it having been washed away isi the
past nine months."
