t? (? $ gaitg IMtoruw. '. ASTORIA. OREGON: TUESDAY MARCH 23, 188C A Corvallis minister is holding meetings "for men onty." This appears to be something new in the religious line. Ik the last five years the city of Los Angeles, Cal., has lost over $35,000 by defaulters, and not one of the defaulters has been con victed. It is reported in San Francisco that the Pacific Mail company have made a rate of fire dollars a ton on all freight from Xew York to that city. Very little flour has gone from the Columbia river to Europe this season. The European market is overstocked and flour has declined $3 a ton in price in the last 3ear. Tin: good people of Pittsburg are in trouble. Nine million cubic feet of natural gas is escaping in that vicinity and an explosion is momentarily looked for. This natural gas appears to be a good servant but a bad master. The war feeling between France and Germany appears to be on the increase. If both nations are eager for the fray it is likely that an excuse will soon be found. France cannot forget Sedan and Melz and thirsts for an opportuni ty to float the tricolor above Al sace and Lorraine. Harper's Weekly appeals to be having difficulty in maintaining journalistic consistency. It bolted Blaine because the Republicans wouldn't nominate Edmunds, and praised Edmunds as the just man made perfect. Now it berates Edmunds for presuming to show the president wherein he erred. Senator .Toke, of Florida, is making love to a Detroit lady. His constituents are angry about it and want the governor to con sider Jones1 seat vacant and ap point some one in his place. They have no objections to his making love, but they think he is too slow in inducing the lady to name the day. Speakikg of the transconti nental railroad rates by water, the editor of the Seattle Chronicle says he remembers of once riding from Kansas City to Chicago for 50 cents, with meal tickets thrown in, and he further remembers that it cost him S1G, with meal tickets thrown out, to return over the same route. Chinese are reported leaving San Francisco for the east in great numbers by reason of reduced fares. Every Chinaman that goes east is a missionary among the eastern people to hasten the day when they will know something about the Chinese question. Not till the Chinese live among them will they have the faintest ida of the matter. Stkikes, strikes: every dispatch from the east has in it something about a strike. This time it is in Kansas City. The railroad hands have stopped a train that was made up of non-union men. In that they have acted illegally. They have a right to strike if they want to, but have no right to keep men from working who want to work. That isn't American, it isn't just and savors strongly of that despotism that many came to this country to get rid of. H. B. McDowell, editor of the San Francisco Inglcside, was sen tenced to ninety days in the coun ty jail last Friday, for libeling a resident of that city. What par ticularly dreadful thing he said about Mr. Clunie is not reported. Usually when a California news paper man says anything good about a prominent San Francis can he has to prove it, and is rarely called on for proofs. No one was ever yet hanged in San Francisco for killing a newspaper man or a Chinaman. Late advices from Colon state that M. De Lesseps went in a tug boat through the first five kilome tres of the Panama canal. Ad miral Jewett followed in a second vessel bearing the American flag, and the Duke of Sutherland in a third. M. de Lesseps gives a fa vorable account of the progress of the canal, drags being at work along sixteen kilometres of the canal on the Colon side. The New England Granite Vorks, of "Westerly, R. L, with the opening of the present year, began an important experiment in profit sharing with their workmen. The company is one composed in the ordinary way of shareholders with salaried officers to conduct its business. The employes who are in future to share net profits under a quasi cooperative system are laborers, earning from $1.70 to $1.05 a day in the quarries. They are hard-working men, with no economic theories beyond the be lief that every laborer is entitled to a little more than capital ever is willing to give him. The present not wholly novel scheme has been introduced by the president of the company, a man at once shrewd, enterprising and humane. It is, in brief, to pay the laborers their usual wages throughout the year, to pay the shareholders the legal rate of interest on their capital, and then to call whatever earnings remain, after settling all other ac counts, "net profits,' and divide them in equal thirds between the laborers, the shareholders and per manent reserve fund. The com pany estimates that in good years the laborers who have earned their $1.85 a day throughout the twelve months, will receive a dividend of between 30 and $40. The work men themselves are not over-san guine of any such pleasant result, but are gratified to find that their employers are willing to tr- to do them a ffood turn. The men who make and save money in politics are the excep tion. The great majority of polit ical men remain poor many enter public life richer than they leave it. A conspicuous example of this class is Senator Cullom of Illinois. ""When I entered politics,5 he said the other day, "I was worth per haps $75,000. For over twenty years I have continuously held of fice. I have been city attorney of my town, sat in the state legisla ture, been a member of the house of representatives, was governor for two terms, and I am now Unit ed States senator. I doubt," he concluded laughingly, "whether I am worth to-day as many cents as I was dollars when I began my public career twenty years ago." Congressman Gay, who represents the third district of Louisiana, in the house, spent 00,000 to secure his seat. He is a millionaire and probably can stand the expense. Tie is a sugar planter and inter ested in many important commer cial and manufacturing enterprises in Louisiana. He is shrewd, ac tive and ambitious. He has an eye on Gibson's seat in the senate. The question naturally arises, if Mr. Gay is willing to spend G0, 000 to get to the house, how much will he pay for a seat in the sen ate? It will strike most people who are acquainted with Louisiana politics as a big sum to spend in a congressional election down there; but it must be remembered that the district is overwhelmingly Re publican so overwhelmingly in fact, that Gov. Kellogg carriedit once against the regular Demo cratic nominee and two rival Re publican candidates by a handsome majority. J. B. Price, the Star route contractor, is Gay's son-in-law. NEW TO-DAY.
