Whctiieu among individuals or nations, which are but aggrega tions of individuals, economy is a good thing, that is, the kind of economy that is only another name for good management, for a proper relation between the income and the outgo, that is duly propor tional to the needs of the individ ual or the nation. A man may spend a dollar foolishly or a thou sand dollars wisely. Results have a good deal to do with the question of economy, and needs are to be considered whenever the subject is discussed. Our government, like all govern ments, controls the postal system. The postmaster general by reason of his position is thus brought into intimate connection with the busi ness of the people. If he be a man of j-onsc, of breadth, of judg ment, he can aid ever' ene: if he be narrow, a man of one idea, he can injure an entire section of the I'nion. Postmaster General Vilas ap pears to have a singular idea of economy. He has apparently adopted a policy which will stunt the growth of the Pacific coast. To make up a deficit in the postal service, to make appear an eco nomical showing for the adminis tration, he has reduced the ex penses of the postal service in man' communities that can least afford to stand it. This may be economy, but it is the wrong kind. It is the economy of the man who will starve to death rather than spend some of his money for bread. In our own state the ser vice is being crippled and its ef ficiency impaired by ill-timed cut ling down, and the post office de partment is sacrificing the interests of this commonwealth in an unwise effort to show what it is pleased to consider "economy." It certainly seems, as, policy would suggest, that such treatment must meet with great and growing rebuke from the people, who naturally re sent such niggardly curtailment of their rights, rights which they pos sess in common with their more fa vored brethren of the east who have a daily service at their door.c five times a day, while Pacific coast residents must rest content when their daily mails are cut off and their tri-weekly service re duduced to weekly. Scciictarv Manning is said to have under consideration the pro jector paying members of congress and all employes of the govern ment their salaries in silver dollars. It has been ascertained at the treasury that among the most strenuous opponents to the accept ance of a small proportion of their pay in silver have been some of the heartiest opponents of the sus pension of the coinage act, at the eapitol. If this is carried out, it will not affect a single vote. The recent consultation of the president and several prominent silver men of congress resulted in no healinir of the difference of opinion, as neither side yielded in the slight est degree. The -war department officials have no doubt that Ute Indians are in sympathy with the Mormons, and the opinion is expressed that should the time arrive when the Mormons resist the government by force, they will receive the assist ance of at least 3,000 Utes. A biiewer of Sitka advertises in the Alaskan, the northernmost journalistic sprout on the conti nent, that ho is making pure beer "exclusively for medicinal, me chanical and scientific purposes.1 MARRIED. 1 vt A offiq Ion f-l lOCH? ..

THE BODIES THAT CAME ASHORE ON CLATSOr BEACH. The Sail Fate of Thrto Residents of Hum boldt County, California. About two months ago word came of the finding of two bodies ou Clat sop beach. At the time it was im possible to identify the men, who were given decent burial in Clatsop cemetery. The following, from the Eureka, Cala,, Times-Telephone, of December 26th, is explanatory. "Three fishers went out to sea one day." They sailed from Shelter Cove, on the lower coast of this county, on the 24th of October. The list in cluded Thomas Stewart, an old and respected citizen, his nephew, Philo Moorhead, a native of Illinois, and another young man whose name we have thus far been unable to learn. It has, up to the present time, been understood that the fishing smack, owned by Mr. Stewart, sailed for Eel river.but the Ferndale Enterprise of yesterday states that the boat went to sea with the intention of reaching the Columbia river. But it did not. The following letter received by A. A. Berding, of Ferndale, tells the sad story of the finding of the boat and the three bodies in close proximity on the Clatsop beach, some sixteen miles south of the month of the Columbia river. Hope of their ever retnrning alive had been abandoned. From the dates given below it will readily be understood that the boat had not reached its destination prior to the severe storm of early November. Tho story of the finding of "three fishers" and tho boat which will never return, is told in tho letter received by Mr. Berding, as follews: SnAsinn, Clatsop Co., Oregon, ( December 7, 1885. J Mb. A. Bkbdixg. De ar Sir: A sloop came ashore here on the 8th of Nov ember and was found by some Indians, who got all that was in her. Since then there has been three men picked up, but there was nothing found to identify them. Yesterday I got ac cess to a book found by the Indians that has a record of their trip, which shows that they left Shelter Cove on October 21th, and they kept a record up to tho 2d of November. I also saw a bill showing that a Mr. Thomas Stewart (am not sure that I got the first name right) bought of you gro ceries, boots and shoes and clothing. The bill was dated October lGth, I believe. From it I got your address and judge that you must know some thing abont them. The boat is white and is named Emma. She is hauled out on tho Clatsop beach about 1G miles below the month of the Colum bia river. "Will you please give the names of the men and their descrip tions, so that they may be known, and whether they have any friends or relations that you know of? In fact, any information you can give will be gladly received, and if there is any one interested about them, by writing to me I will give them all the in formation I can about them. The bodies found were buried by the cor oner, two in a graveyard and one near where it was found. If you can give a description of them with their names they can be identified, as their fea tures were not deformed. How many persons started m the boat, and where were they going? It was very stormy all the time they were out, and the night the boat came ashore was one of the stormiest we have had for several years. Yours respectfully, 0. Bbadbuky. While tho tidings given above had been anticipated in Mr. Stewart's old home, it seems that tho bill of Mr. Berding which he carried in his book led to tho almost immediate identity of the men found on Clatsop beach. A large circle of friends be moan the sad fate of our former fel low citizen and his companions, and extend to his now orphaned daugh ter Emma, after whom the boat was named, all the consolation which true friendship and esteem for the parent can offer.
