ASTOBIA. OREGON:
TUESDAY.
.OCTOBER 4. 1887
There are at this time twenty-one
bureaus of labor in the United States,
of -which fourteen have been estab
lished during the past four years.
.
There is a newspaper in Colorado
whoso proprietor, editor and assistant
are the only inhabitants of the place
in which it is published. It is sup
ported by the legal advertisements of
mining claims.
The twenty-one Chinamen caught
smuggling themselves into the coun
try from British Columbia, in viola
tion of the terms of the restriction act,
have been indicted by the TJ. S. grand
jury atTacoma.
The railroad which the Manitobans
propose to build southward from
Winnipeg to a connection with the
Northern Pacific is only seventy miles
long, and is estimated to cost only
81,000,000, but so well has sir John
Macdonald managed the opposition of
the dominion government to the
scheme that the money cannot, it
seems, be raised.
.
The refusal of the clerk of the New
York superior court to accept Herr
Most's preliminary declaration of in
tention to become a citizen of the
United States has served to call gen
eral attention to the fact that there is
a law of congress which provides that
before a man is admitted to citizen
ship in this country he shall have re
sided here at least five years, and
"shall have behaved as a man of good
moral character, attached to the prin
ciples of the United States, and well
disposed to the good order and hap
piness, of the same." The rigid en
forcement of these provisions by all
officers having duties connected with
the process of naturalization is desir
able for evident and forcible reasons.
. .
A San Fbaxotsco paper publishes
the names of a number of men in
that city who denounce the con
demnation of the Chicago anarchists
as an act of gross injustice, and who
roundly curse the supreme court for
affirming the decision below. Some
of the men have been more or less
prominent in politics. In the entire
lot there is not a native-born Ameri
can. That any foreigners to whom
this country has been so precious a
refuge from oppression, should titter
a word of sympathy for these wretches
who seek the undoing of the Eepublic,
amazes those who have been so for
tunate as to be born to the soil, and
and who esteem the liberties here en
joyed as immeasurably of greater
value than the theories of dreamers
of an ideal community, where the
state is all and the individual nothing.
"War footing" means, in Germany
and France, half a million of men for
each country, fully armed and
equipped, drilled to perfection, and
ready to grapple to the death at a
moment's notice. Behind them are
the reserves, including in the various
classes every male from seventeen to
sixty years of age, all of whom can
be put into the field in a few weeks.
It means the most extensive system
of frontier defense that was ever do-
vised; the fortification of all strategic
points in the two countries to the
very last extent that skill, science
and money can go. The Prussians
claim that they have drawn such a
line of earthworks about Alsace and
Lorraine, and so fortified and gar
risoned the important towns of the
two provinces as to baffle any at
tempts at recapture by the French
under the most favorable circum
stances for an invading force. But
they do not concede the most remote
probability of French success, and
the war party in Berlin say they will
be satisfied with nothing less than th e
destruction of Frenuh nationality.
The press of this coast has quite
generally taken the position, says the
Seattle Press, that the action of our
government'in seizing the sealers in
Alaskan waters was unauthorized so
long as those vessels confined their
operations outside of the three-mile
limit. This, it was claimed, they had
done but the treasury agent in charge
of the Alaskan seal islands, reports
that the depredations complained of
are not committed within disputed
jurisdiction, but upon islands belong
ing to the United States. The Brit
ish vessels land their crews upon
these islands and kill the seals during
the breeding season. According to
the agent's report, the British
took fifty thousand skins last
season on islands belonging to
the United States. The British
case as it has been presented
is based upon the assumption that the
offenses charged were committed with
in waters which are claimed as part of
the high seas. The treasury agent's
report presents an entirely new case.
Large bodies of water maybe included
within the three-mile law if measure
ment is made from headland to head
land, and it is an open question
whether such bodies should be held as
the property of any one nation. But
the islands are as clearly American as
the main body of the terrritory known
as Alaska. If, as appears, the Eng
lish vessels have been landing their
crews on these islands and killing
seals, the case assumes a much clearer
aspect
English Salmon 3Iarket.
The London Grocer's Gazelle, Sept.
10, says: There is a steady business,
but no rush at present prices, and as
from now to Christmas is usually a
quiet time for consumption, dealers
seem determined to buy only on the
most meagre scale.
The London Grocer, Sept 11, says:
Salmon is still very dear and it is
feared that the consumption will
shortly begin to show signs of falling
off as the result of higher and, to the
retailers, less profitable prices. Co
lumbia river fish that can be had at
28s per case are taken pretty freely,
but not in such large quantities as if
the quotations were 233 to 25s, and an
absence of general information is
plainly evident.
The Liverpool correspondent of the
London Grocer says: The home trade
husalmon is steady and satisfactory
at full prices, whilst of exports sever
al important shipments of Columbia
river have been made to the United
States at the advanced rates ruling
in this market.
Beware the Dynamo.
I have a friend at the capitol who
dearly loves a joke, and he told mo
with much gusto yesterday an inci
dent which took place in a lower-town
grocery store. In the basement of
the store is the apparatus with which
the proprietor generates the electrici
ty for his own store-lighting plant. A
laboring man had occasion to go
down stairs looking for something
when my friend and the engineer were
talking about the great drawing power
of one part of the magnetized instru
ment The laboring man was walking
near to this magnet, which is of great
power, when suddenly as he moved
around his tin pail was snatched
from his hand and drawn by the mys
terious element whack up against the
iron. "With a yell like a Sioux In
dian the frightened man turned, gave
one glance at that tin pail hugging
the black iron, and broke for the
stairs on the dead run. St. Paul
