r 'tytr-v- ' , (V 3ftc gaUjj ilstoriaw. ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY - MAItCH ,!& Tin: truly good who strained at the Mulligan Jelteis are Mvallow ing the Pan Electric scheme. l)i i:ix; the Reil revolt the Can adian government paid the Hud son Bay company 2,OuO.OOO for supplies and transportation. Oxi: of the bills now before the .Iowa legislature provides that be fore a marriage license shall be is sued each party to the proposed matrimonial contract '"shall give satisfactory evidence to the clerk that they are able to maintain and support each other with all neces saries of life, and also to take care of the children, if they should have any. "Win:, it is remembered that the war of 1S12 closed over seventy years ago. surprise may well be excited that there should now be more than 20.000 pensioners on the mils, of which 17,212 are wid ows. At what age did they many, and ate soldiers' widows exception ally endowed with long lives? Exact answers to these questions would furnish interesting inform ation and might reduce the number of pensioners. Tin. American people have no thought of abandoning govern ment by parties, and never have had. Eveiything human is liable to abuse, and whatever a lew the orists may have intended, or niay still hope for, the great mass of voters of the country have never for a moment entertained the idea of farming out the offices to a class and then running what is left of politics on a plane of ethics which, from a lofty height, looks down with a frown of reproach upon anything like self-seeking in poli tics. There is no danger that pol iticians will not be partisans. "When the Monison bill first came up the reduction to be ac complished by it was placed at $40,000,000, but, says the Post, this estimate was afterward re duced to 20,000,000, and now Mr. Morrison places it at 12,000, 000. As the receipts of the gov ernment last year were 323,000, 000. the reduction seems a very small outcome after all the cam paign talk, and even this reduction stands very little chance of being made. The drift of public opin ion is in favor of liberal expendi ture. The people want internal improvements, a new navy and ad equate coast defenses. iMrEHCEPTiisLv, says the Xt t ion, hut hardly less uiely, the humbler members of the war jren eration are departing along with its famous heroes. Many men will help to elect the next con gress in the fall of 1SSG who were not born when Lee surrendered, and many more who ic-tsin boyish memories of the war which that event ended. The few sur.hing politicians of that age have lost their old audiences. The great majority of the men whom they now address never shrfred in the emotions and the prejudices of the rebellion epoch, and cannot be stirred by the most fervid appeals to passions which, unlike their fa thers, they have never known. The passing of the generation which fought in the war involves the dropping of war politics. The election of Grovcr Cleveland, the first man ever nominated for the presidency b' either party whose public career did not begin until long after the rebellion, marked the end of an era in our history as clearly as have the deaths since his inauguration of Grant, Hen dricks, McClellan, Hancock and Seymour. The nation has entered upon another epoch as distinct from the last as that which began with the inauguration of John Quincy Adams, the first president who was not of the revolutionary day in 1825, and which ended in the organization of parties upon new lines. EASTEUX CHINESE NOTES. New York, March. 1. The different labor organizations met yesterday, and the Chinese question was brought up by roofers, whoso delegates intro duced resolutions calling attention to the fact of Mongolians being driven from the west to the east; that there was a prospect of their taking the place of white laborers; protesting against such inmigration, and calling upon the Central Labor union to take such action as it should deem best to discountenance the hegira. XewTort, March 1. The Times' editorial says: It is expected that the president, early this week, will send a message to congress rec ommending legislation to indemnify Chinese who have suffered from anti Mongoiian raids in the Pacific states and territories. It is well understood that the cabinet has had the subject under consideration at several meet ings, and that representatives of the Chinese government in this country have filed claims for damages with the state department. One of them, of small amount, goes back more than five years, to the Denver troub les, but the chief bill of damages arises from occurrences during the last six months. New York, March 1. The Herald's Ottawa special sayE: British Colum bia members are strongly urging the government to make certain amend ments to the Chinese restriction bill of the last session, which, they repre sent, falls short of what is required to keep the Chinese out of that province. Although each Chinaman now entering the country is obliged to pay So0 into the treasury before ho can land, they are assisted in evading the law by their countrymon who were residents in the country at the time of the passage of the Btatute. These are entitled to certificates with out any fee, to enable them to return without paying the S50 exacted from those who never havo been in the country before. These resident Chi namen obtain their certificates and forward them to their friends in Chi na, who, on arriving on British soil, simply hand the certificates to the customs officers and are allowed to land without paying the regular tax. In the governor general's message reference was made to the proposed amendment to the Chinese bill, and it will probably be in the direction of taking away these certificates, which appears to be the only means by which the existing evil can be rem edied. THE OLD TICKCT. New York, Feb. 25th. -General James A. Hall, of Maine, speaking of Blaine, said to a Tribuuc reporter yesterday: "He is in excellent health. Ho has his second volume off his hands, and now he ha3 time for some thing else. For the present he is looking over Ins old letters that havo accumulated through thirty years of public life." "What are the Republicans going todoiul8S8?" "Tho old ticket is the thing. Nom inate Blaine and Logan and then there will be no need of brass bands or speeches or parades or fireworks or even committees. They will walk into the national capital almost with out opposition. Even Harper's Weelrty would support them. I do believe there is no other man than Blaine who can be elected. Sherman mil Logan both have friends who fa vor them for president, but Blaine is matchless in strength.'' NEW TO-DAY. H. EKSTEOM, PRACTICAL WATCHMAKER. Shop next to L. I. Johnson's cigar store.

We will bet a big red apple that they can buy goods cheaper at the Crystal Palace than the can in San Francisco at wholesale prices. Nothing is cheap at any price if you don't waul it, but if you want anything in our line you will never get it cheaper anywhere than it is now offered at the Crystal Palace. Some 'bargains" arc- dear, but we guarantee everything as repre sented. In the one line of silver ware we are clearing out magnifi cent goods at forty per cent, less than they can be bought elsewhere. Books are also being sacrificed, and stationery of all kinds can be had 'for a song." Very handsome chains-, ring?-, and lockets are being cleared out at prices that are surprisingly low. The stock must be sold and you have an opportunity to buy some thing that perhaps you long have desired to own or give to a friend, at a price lower than you ever ex pected. Come and take a look and ask the prices. We have a large force of salesmen and we es teem it a pleasure to show goods. The Crystal Palace. Earivare sni Ship Ckanilerj VAN DUSEN & CO..
