ASTORIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY DECEMBER 1. 18S5
It is too close to be comfortable
to know that but one life stands
between the government and an
archy, and should President Clove
land die that there is no one who
could legally take his place. Con
gress meets next Monday and one
of the first duties of the senate will
be to elect a president of that
body to preside over its delibera
tions, and, in the event of Presi
dent Cleveland's death or inability,
to act as president of the United
States.
The board of county commis
sioners were discussing, yester
day, the matter of a poor farm. It
is thought that a poor farm would
be more economical and useful
than the present system of sup
porting the indigent, Something
oyer $3,000 a year are paid out for
the support of paupers, most of
whom are drawing $o a week.
Those who favor the scheme say
that the cost would be considera
bly less and the results far more
satisfactory in every way.
If anything would justify law
less dispersal of the Chinese it
would be a sight afforded here
last week the refusal of work to
white men and the placing of it
in the hands of Chinese. The
white man with a wife and chil
dren to support, glad to get an
opportunity to earn a few honest
dellars: the Chinaman with his
rat-like thrift able to live upon the
smell of an oil rag exultingly tak
ing the bread out of the white
man's mouth. The one would
spend his earnings among us in
the comforts demanded by our
way or living: tne otuer wouia
live on a few cents a day, with
neither wife nor child to support,
but. coming in most destructive
competition with our own kind.
It is such short sighted action as
this that retards the development
of this country.
The IVclcojne has often heard
the old dodge of a graceless scamp
who not being of voting age, put
the figures "21" in his shoes
and "22" in his hat, and then
swearing at the polls that he was
"between twenty-one and twenty
two;" but we are informed of
some of the swamp land certificate
of title that beats voting "all to
pieces." "The affidavit makers of
some of some of these swamp land
frauds have been taken to some
prized section of southern Oregon
that was desired by the confeder
ates, where a sled would be im
provised with a boat-shaped box
on it, which the witnesses would
use in being hauled over the de
sired section, and then file affi
davits at Salem that they were
well acquainted with that swamp
land section, and 'had passed over
it in a boat!' We are not pre
pared to say if any of these sort
are in Hen. Owens'' tlirei' ircnh

A "whiter uimii j'5'-.!7.;v 4ii cus
toms in the litter Oi'-xi,,, says:
The advertising column of the
Brazilian newspapers look ver
much as those of the newspapers
of New Orleans did before the
war. Here are some notices trans
lated as they appeared in a recent
number of the Rio de Janeiro
Journal of Cemmerce:

For sale a good female slave;

There is no slave market in Rio
de Janeiro, and has not been one
for several years, all transactions
in human flesh being conducted
privately; but there are agents
who buy and sell on commission,
like the real estate and cattle
dealers of the United States.
