m tS $!w $is Mtotm ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 14. 18S5 MANIFESTLY UNJUST. It is singular the way the gov ernment treats us on this Pacific coast. The very supplies come from eastern contractors. The lard oil for the lights on the Pa cific coast is furnished by the Man hattan Oil company of New York, and the coal oil used is also from an eastern contractor. The coast survey steamer Carllle P. Pat terson, now in San Francisco habor, though especially built for service on the Pacific coast, was construct ed at one of the New York ship yards. The vessel has been so roughly finished in hull and rig ging that it is a wonder she was ever accepted. The contractor did his work as cheaply as possi ble, scrimping in every direction that he dared, so as to make money out of a low contract. A far su perior vessel could have been built at either Mare island or in the Columbia river, or on Puget sound, and at equal cost, taking into consideration the expense of the trip and the wear and tear of the vessel in the long sea voyage from New York to San Francisco. A new lighthouse steamer, the Jfai7nio, has recently been launched on the Delaware for the Pacific coast lighthouse depart ment. For the same reasons as in the case of the Potletvo? that vessel should have been built on this coast. The authorities at "Washington have been neither liberal nor just in the treatment of the merchants and workmen of the Pacific states. They have act ed as though we were outside col onies, and all supplies for the gov ernent that were to be used at public works out here must be shipped to us from the distant eastern states, instead of being pro cured from our own business com munities. AN IMPORTANT liEFOUM. "Wiu:x any allusion is made to "reform" in these days, it is natu ral to suppose it to refer to poli tics or morals. But there are reforms in other directions quite as interesting. One of those has just been instituted in the far away empire of Japan, That as semblage of islands, containing more people than Great Britain and Ireland, has a language which stands in about the same relation to that of China as the English does to Latin. TLs common words belong to a stock which may be regarded as native, while its mod ern additions are mostly of Chi nese origin, especially those of a scientific character. Also it has borrowed its mode of writing from the celestial kingdom, and has hitherto employed that-terrible ar ray of syllabic and ideographic characters for every written record of thought or fart, though using the syllabic, forms n lit tit' more freely than the Chinese them selves. But the representative men of Japan have :unong their number not u few v. h have re cently devoted their energies to the acquirement and diffusion of the knowledge of the v. hiie race, and particularly of those who speak the English language. They have arrived at the important conclusion that the most formida ble barrier to progress in that ef fort is couched in the fact that it requires a large part of the labor of a lifetime to learn the use of the Chinese cheracters, and have therefore introduced the English alphabet for the writing and print ing of their native tongue. That involves the abandonment of the syllabic and ideographic methods, as well, as of the characters now in use. In taking this step Japan is really going far ahead of either England or the United States, as it adopts the phonetic plan of rep resenting each word by letters which spell out the sound. Its usewill enable the Japanese youth to learn how to read his own lan guage within a week, which is a work of several years to the ordi nary English or American student of English, while it is well known that many ot them do not succeed in mastering it after working at it for a quarter of a century. The Cheyenne Grand Jury of Sweetwater county found no in dictments agaihst the Peck Springs murderers of Chinese. It made the following repert: "We have diligently inquired into the occurrence at Rock Springs on the 2d day of September last, and though we have examined a large number of witnesses, no one has been able to testify to a single act committed by any known white person on that day. "Whatever crimes may have been committed there, the perpetrators thereof have not been disclosed by the evidence before us, and, therefore, while we deeply regret the circum stances, we are wholly unable, acting under the obligation of our oaths, to return indictments. We have also inquired into the causes that led to the outbreak at Rock Springs. While we find no excuse for the crimes committed, there appears to be no doubt of abuses existing that should have been promptly adjusted by the railroad compatvy and its officers. If this had been done the fair name of our territory would not have been stained by the terrible events of the 2d of September." It is becoming more clear every day, says a Paris dispatch, that the success of the con servatives at the election re cently is not to be ascribed so much to any desire of the country to declare itself in iavor of mon archical or imperial restoration, as to a widespread and general feel ing of discontent with the manner in which France has been govern ed during the last five years. On last Sunday :,200,000 votes were cast for conservatives in France exclusive of Paris. As the total vote was but 7,500,000 this shows that nearly one half of the whole number of electors voted the con servative ticket. Any one at all acquainted with the real sentiment of the French people is aware that but a very small minority in the nation has an' wish to see the re public replaced by either monarch ial or imperial institutions. The oretically France prefers the re public. Tin: agreement by which the Orcffon & California was sold to the Southern Pacific is said to have embodied the following conditiens: The Oregon & California sells 451 miles of completed road and all its assets, including the land earned, and to be earned, and its interest in the Northern Pacific Terminal company. The South ern Pacific is to pay S,000,000 in Central Pacific stock and $10,500, 000 in forty-year bonds of the Southern Pacific, and further agreeing to complete the road. A Constantineple: dispatch says: The Turkish mobilization can pre sent equipped with arms 120,000 men. The Turks are laying plans with sreat skill. Two large ar mics are being formed, one at Adr rianople, the other at Uskeep. The first is intended to advance to eastern Koumelia, if all diplo matic efforts fail, and the other to be posted within easy striking distance of Sofia, so it can threaten the Bulgarian capital, while watch ins: both Servia and Montenegro. "Will some of the many able writers who are making a brave fight for monometallism please specify the "gold obligations" of the United States jrovernment? The funeral of Cardinal Mc Closkey, the first American car dinal, took place at New York city yesterday. The Tacoma Ledger says there will not be a Chinaman left in that city by the first of November. 3IAKKIKD. At the residence ot the groom 011 Deep lliver. October 9th. 1885. liy S.
