(3) ASTORIA, OREGON: "WEDNESDAY OCTOKKi: H. 1SS5 The crawfish season is 'on." and the toothsome little crustaceans are plenty. The Whitehall boat race was not sailed :is expected yesterday owing to the absence of a breeze. "Wonder who'll set up the Inuch and champagne in the ante room of the senate chamber at Salem next month! Four large cattle were brought down from Gathlamet yesterday for II. Delanev who will use them at Chadwell. Au effort is beiug made toward the building of live bridges between 01 ney and Jewell and thus facilitale t ravel in that part of the county. The steamer l'aqnina in crossing out from Yaquiua bay on the 2nd inst., is reported to have struck the bar, denting a plate in her port bilge and injuring her keel. The On-yon got in early yesterday morning; the Male went aground at Swan island a few miles below 3'ort laud and came down at 0:'-5l) yester day evening. She leaves at 1 this morning. Mail advices from Australia quote the Sydney market for Columbia river salmon at. (Is 3d, and outside rivers, Gs. Previous reports quoted the market lis 7. til. Further ad vances are expected. The Tom Corrin arrived at San Francisco on the 12th from the Arc tic. She had an exciting time in the polar regions and brought down about 100 men, survivors of crews of shipwrecked whalers, for whom the season was unusually disastrous. The low prices of provisions that existed during the summer months seem destined to disappear, every thing in the way of food being again on the rise. Fresh meat has held its own all along, and staple articles of food all show a slight appreciation in the local markets. The fishing-boat race as advertised in another column, will be postponed one week, until Saturday, Oct. 21, to give the boats all time to get ready, and a subscription purse of $23 In coin will be added to the first prize of a new "Waltham watch and chain given by Jeff. See adv't. Work will be continued on the Cas cade division of the Northern Pacific during the coming winter. The road is complete for a distance of ninety three miles from the Columbia river. No further contracts have been made for construction on the western side of the Cascade mountains. In the matter of overland freights Astoria is pretty well favored, goods being laid down here at the same rates as in Portland or San Francisco. The Standard Oil Co., of Cleveland. Ohio, is reaching out hithcrward in this mattor, and is delivering oil in carload lots on the dock here at way down figures, they paying the freight. Lest they should "gel mad" and forget it, one of the first things the legislature might, could, would or should do after convening in special session, is to fix things so that Judge Taylor is not by law obliged to open court iu Alkali and Astoria on the same day. The judge is not given to spreading himself, but even if he were the straddle is too great. The county court at its Monday session levied a tax for tho ensuing year as follews: school, four mills: support of state insane asylum, one mill; payment of Indian war debt, half a mill; slate university, one tenth of a mill; county expenses, in cluding state pro rata, sixteen and four-tenths mills; total, twenty-two mills. This on the basis of assess ment should yield $11,830. Tho Cal. Urocer and ( 'aimer of the iith reports tho Liverpool salmon market has advanced Is and exhibits a very strong tendency, "lialfonr. Guthrie & Co. bought -1,000 cases of Eureka, Star brand, on the river at $1.12JrC for export, equal to $1.15 for domestic shipment or S1.37-i de livered east This lot has been sold by Balfour, Guthrie & Co. to Great Britain at an advance on the above figures. Then comas poll tax, and road tax, and property road tax. Oh. it counts up. Under" the beautiful law that allows indebtedness the man that gets in debt and stays there is lots smarter than the foolish fellow that works lo get out of debt and accumu late a little property. Sometime the present system that prevails in Ore gon will come to an end and people will wonder how under the sun they ever endured such au uncouth and primitive system of raising revenue by keeping the assessments away down and putting the assessed rate away up. The Allien Hesse sailed from Vic toria for Hong Kong last Monday with 3S1 Chinese. The Coloma which sails from Portland next Wednesday, will Xiie over 300. There is one thing in connection with this emigration business, says the Orcfjonian, which will be a surprise " to many. Any Chinaman so fortu nate as to have $100 in gold can, by leaving it with, Portland bankers, get a bill of exchange on Hong Kong for $114.50, payable in big Mexican dol lars. If a Chinaman has $500 iu gold he can pay his fare to Hong Kong and have $522.50 when he gets there. There is something in this which might throw a ray of light on the silver question. Girl Wanted.

The following is copied from the San Francisco correspondence of the Cincin nati Enquirer, which has achieved the distinguished honor of being one of the first Eastern journals to denounce the .new form of slavery now insidiously struggling for a foot-hold in this country : Stephen T. Gage, a native of northern Ohio, has lived iii California thirty-eight vears. For the past fifteen years he has been connected with the Central and .Southern Pacific Kailroads.andds now assistant to Mr. Stanford, president of the whole Pacific system of this coast. Brought upon a farm. Mr. Gage lias a good practical knowledge of agricultur al matters, and especial!) of tanning on this coast, and is now managing a farm of :r,000 acres. His railroad duties have forced upon him a knowledge of nearly every business or industry conducted on the Pacific slope, including mining, lor he was actively engaged in that for year.-. But. above all, Mr. Gage is an honest man. and. whether right or wrong, believes in all things which he advocates. Ueing a man of good sense, his conclusions on matters outside his railroad affairs are accepted by those who know him as sound and worthy of consideration. Such a man, with his wide experience, cannot hut have sound opinions on the Chinese question, the one uhject which is of more import ance to the people of tho Pacific coast than all other economic questions. The other day i drifted his talk to that sub ject, when he said: "1 am opiosed Jo Chinese immigra tion because on an even keel the white man cannot compete with him in any of the pursuits requiring physical labor. I do not discuss him iu any of the com mercial avocation, but merely as an lenient of labor. I have made a com parative study of the white and Chinese working people in every avocation. Perhaps their civilization is higher than iiii-s. lor it is certainly much older, and it has taught them how to support the maximum 'population at the minimum rest. The fact that a population of over four hundred million live upon the pro duct ot ihc territory embraced within the limits ot the kingdom of China proves this proposition. 1 have never seen a Chinaman who could not read and write iu his own language. They are the most docile people up to a cer tain point in their employment, and that point i- where they believe they hae acquired sufficient knowledge of the business at which they were ein ploved to carry it on themselves. They are'an imitative race, but they originate nothing, as is shown by the fact that their whole civilization stands where it certamh was l.oixi years ago. barring the innovations forced upon them by other nations. The degradation of white labor is therefore a natural sequence of compe tition with this class of persons, and I think any observer will soon see that the introduction of Chinese in Califor nia has established in thirty years as distinct a line of demarkation between labor and capital as slavery did in the '2U year of its existence in the old states, with the disadvantage here of the e being fewer restraints of all kinds on the aristocratic element. Less than live hundred men own lully one-half the property of this great State, and they are able to retain their vast estates because of the presence of the Chinese labor, and at the same time pay less than half the taxes. The man who does not own sufficient property to allow him to eniplov Chinese labor and make a profit on ft falls to the grade of the "poor white trash" of the South, though he may work every day. In thirty years we have made this vast gulf between the two elates, and while the products of all the rest of the country are based upon the labor of property-consuming white men. the products of California represent the low wages of the Chinese, for every wiiite producer who employs only his own labor must compete with their, in the various markets. The em plover of Chinese labor starts with an advantage over the person whose mark etable products are the results of his own labor. Practical illustrations of this fact are visible on every hand. Take gardening, for instance, and the sale of vegetables. The large gardener, paying sixty cents per lav to ihc Chinese laborer, who boards himself, can all'ord to sell to the peddler for less than the ordinary white man can afford to produce vegetables. This would seem to give the poor white man a chance lo monopolize the retail ing of vegetables, in case the Chinese employing ganlner did not chose to do it himself. Hut if you look out of the window you will notice more than a dor.cn Chinese vegetable peddlers, whose outfit consists of two baskets and a light stick. At one lime we weighed all "of these baskets on our ferries, and found that the average weight of vege- taltles which one Chinaman carries is SM pounds. A white man could not move this quantity of vegetables without a horse and wagon. A horse and wagon of the worst sort represents an expendi ture of not less than SUM). To this must he added the feed and care of the horse, shoeing, stable rent, and repairs to wagon ami harness. To make cost, the owner of the horse and wagon must make at least 1 per day of profit. It" he lives, or has any family, he must make at least $2 per day of gross profit. The Chinaman can sell at a less price and make the same net profit that the white man can. If he makes but fifty cents per dav profit he has at least thirty cents to lay by. I have known a China man with only .sio of capital to carry a whole squat c of customers' accounts for a month, and at the end of that tune each oft hem would owe him more than the whole of his original capital. 'The l'cstrictinn Act was a godsend to the resident Chinese, if it had been carried out as congress intended it. Last year when the' current seemed to be going from us. the Chinese harvest hand advanced his wages from 1 to SI ro, and in some cases S2. But this year, with the tide flowing this way aain. the wages went down to the point at which no white man could earn enough to pay for bread and decent clothes. And this is true in every line of labor. This leads me to the question which has for some years prevented im migration lo this state, and will coiir tinue to prevent it so long as the stream of Chinese labor pours in upon us. Except the railroad land grants and the little government land now subject to entry, as 1 said belore five hundred men ownone-uaii me agricultural lands of the state. So long as these men can compete with" the other half of land owners, with this cheap labor, they will never subdivide their immense tracts of land, or part, with them nt a price which would allow the ordinary farmer to make a living off of them by his own labor. It is a settled principle of politi cal economy that a community which is a consumer is also a producer. A Chi nese population is not a consuming population. In other words, if the Iiuii dred thousand Chinese laborers were whites, they would consume at least three times as much as the Chinese do, and thus create a local demand for three times greater production. At least two- thirds of the clothing and personal effects of the Chinese are brought from China, so that we can say that practi cally thev add nothing to the wealth of the state "bv their consumption, and all the wages "paid them for their labor is sent out of the country. 'The Asiatic civilization may be higher tlian ours. I don't care how thev class it, but it will not amalgamate with ours, nor can people with our civ ilization live under it. We have passed the point which the framers of the Con stitution had in view when they invited the oppressed of all nations to seek an asylum on our shores. We are now hound to protect our own people and while we maintain free schools and teach our children lo use luxuries un known to the Asiatics we must not ex pect them to compete in the race of life with a class of toilers who can subsist on what would not have ted and clothed a slave in the cotton states. If the rail roads are to prosper they must have a consuming and, consequently. a produc ing population, and this cannot be until we are rid of the Chinese !aborei" I do not pretend to give all that Mr. Gage aid on this subject, but give his main points." Considering his opportu nities of observation, and the fact that his corporation employs thousands of these people, his opinions should carry a weight which would not attach lo the saying of the mere politician. 3IAK1NC 3IOXEY IX ALASKA. On great Maccatiua, Alaska, where Jolietonce had a sealing establish ment, lives Samuel Goment, who, be side his family, consisting of a wife and one or two brothers, is its only inhabitant. He was born on the isl and; has lived there forty years with out yearning for other habitation and has.grown rich in catching seals caught 3,000 the last spring; uet profit to him of that achievement something like 30,000, which is pretty well for a place where one would imagine nothing could be ex pended. This, however, as Mr. Go nient assured us. is not the case, as trading boats visit the island during the open season, laden with all sorts of seductive wares. In Mr. Goment's hospitable cellar are excellent brands of Macon, Yieux and Bumart; and ho lives here like au insular baron, though without retainers or retinue, getting tribute and reveuue from the annually recurring seal. He is well to do, coutented and happy, sees n little of the outsidr world, getting intermittent glimpses of it through the fortnightly visit of the govern ment mail boat, the Otter, whose black smoke pennon we saw a day before our arrival, and through the occasional visit of fishing schooners from Newfoundland and the Mag dalens such as now lie nt anchor in tho harbor. Mr. Gomeut, who is a burl v. good-uaturedman, bearded like Barbarossa and with a sort of He- bridian accent, visits us on board, wants us all to accompany him to his home iu order that wo may be del uged with his pent up hospitalities; tells us all the wild lore of the region and makes himself an immense favorite with overy body on board. .1 faska Correspomleiue.

Omaha, Nebraska, has just finished a new jail, built on an entirely original plan, and the Omaha lite says it is a novelty well worth visiting. " The pe culiar feature of the jail, which marks as different from any other, is that the cells are arranged iu the form of. a great iron cylinder which revolves about so that only one cell is at the opening at any one time. This cylin der is three stories high, there be ing ten cells on each lloor. Its weight is forty-five tons, and this ponderous weight is hung from above instead of turning on a track below. The strangest part of the arrange ment is that tho great cylinder can be turned by a simple crank with very little force, a man with his left baud moving it readily. When it is com plete it is the intention to have a lit tle water motor in the basement, and then by simply moving a lever the cylinder will be set to rotating. It is suggested that when there are prison ers who it is feared may be trying to cut out. the cylinder can, by a motor, be easily kept moving slowly all night, so that the prisoners do not remain long enough in one place to do any mischief, or even to crawl out if they had made a partial break. It seems that prisoners have little chance for escape from this new jail. A cage of iron bars completely surrounds the cylinder in which the cells are. The entrance on each lloor is guarded by two doors. The ofiicer standing out side does uot have to unlock, even the first door, but can swing the cyl-: iiiui'i iiruuuu u mil mil- ecu appears in i which is the desired prisoner, and then by a simple movement tho inner door is opened and the prisoner can step out of his cell. Then the ofiicer can open the other door and let the man out, but the other prisoners are way beyond any possible reach of the ofiicer, and it is impossible for them to make any break ou him while he is taking a man put or putting one in. He can handle any number of men in the same way, and they cannot reach him until he chooses to let them. I5ueltlens Arnica Salve. Tiik IJkst Sat.vi: i n the world for Cuts, Bruises.
