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.
