w lxt ga gtftwmt. ASTORIA. OREGON: TCESDAY NOVEMBEK 29. 1687 The Canadian Pacific railway "will shortly have a direct connection with Chicago. Senator Kiddleberger says: "A poor man has no more right to be in the United States senate than an ice berg has in Hades." Makk Twain told a recent visitor .that he could print single copies of Gen. Grant's book for 55 cents eack The selling price is $3.50. Iowa is ostensibly a prohibition state, but there are 116 wholesale and 3,445 retail liquor dealers in it who pay a special tax to the government. Pbohibitiok carried so many counties in south Dakota at the recent local option elections that the no-liquor policy will be almost uni versal in that section of the state. TnE president is said to look favor ably upon the proposition to admit Dakota, "Washington and Montana to statehood, with participation in gen eral elections after next November. A review of the fisheries business for the last year at Gloucester, Mass., shows that seventeen vessels have been lost with 127 men, sixty of whom leave widows and fatherless children. One of the big coal companies of Pennsylvania reports that the demand for coal is so groat that it is impossible to accumulate stock, though the nvnes aro producing 25,000 tons per day. Chicago has about ono hundred and twenty thousand votes, but only 43,373 of them were polled in the lato olection of judges and county com missioners. The socialistic vote was 4,474. Canadian interests subjected to British interests are the way the Ca nadians think the fisheries commis sion will end. The loading dominion paers haTe no confidence in Cham berlain. Atlanta furnishes the latest defeat of the many defeats of 'S7 to the idea represented by the votes of those who favor prohibition. In all Georgia there wore but 195 votes for St. John for president in '84. An agency has been started in Bos ton to notify property-owning sub scribers in case of fire that they may be on hand to protect and save their possessions. The scheme costs the subscriber 50 cents a month. The Pennsylvania railroad proposes to its employes the establishment of a savings fund. All station agents of the company will receive deposits up on whieh interest will be paid at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. The Maine corn packers have in creased their canned corn packing 25 per cent Ono Portland company packed nearly five million cans, and the product of 16,000 acres of corn is consumed in eighty-two canning es tablishments. In Boone county, "W. Ya., forest fires have caused such an unnatural heat in the atmosphere that the trees are budding and putting out new leaves and blossoms. In places whero the fires have been raging the ther mometer has marked 90 degrees. Nina Van Zandt tried to arrange a genuine marriage with anarchist Spies before he was hung, in order thatsho might claim his body and have it cremated, but she could not find a clergyman who was willing to ! perform the ceremony, and so the scheme fell through. Congress convenes next Monday. The general beliof at "Washington is that the old officers of the house, with the oxception of chaplain, will bo re elected. Outside candidates for tho various offices are simply maneuver ing to secure good subordinate posi tions. Carlisle will certainly be re elected speaker. Perhaps the most acrimonious of several important controversies to bo fought out in tho senate this winter will, according to information ob tained in conversation with senators, be caused by the appointment of com missioners on the part of this govern ment to negotiate a settlement of tho fisheries dispute between the United States and Canada. Senators of both parties aro preparing for this contest, the calculations are that it will bo ono of tho most interesting that has oc curred for many years. The matter has already drawn forth expressions of opinion from senators, and although nearly everyone Tefrains from com mitting himself to a positive predic tion as to the result of the discussion, several Bepublican members have said emphatically that unless mere partisanship, shall intervene andcon- trol the judgment of senators, a very severe rebuke will bo given tho ad ministration, not only for having re sorted to tho commission method of negotiating a settlement of tho fishcr ieslroubles in the alleged defiance of the will of congress, as expressed last winter, but also on account of tho manner of appointing the commis sioners. Such senators as these, how ever, appear not to be conscious of their own partisanship. It has been tho custom of late to disbelieve in tho ancient estimates of the population of China; -but the North China Herald, a well in formed journal, publishes statistics which strongly support them. It ap pears that the authorities of Pekin have recently taken a censns for tax ing purposes, and that the village bailiffs, whoso interest it is to under state tho figures, return tho poula tion at 319,383,500. Five provinces are omitted, and their population, as recorded in the last census, brings tho f total up to 392,000,000. Even this fig ure is independent of tho population of Thibot, Kashgar, Hi and Corea: and the total number of souls ruled by the emperor of China, therefore, exceeds 400,000,000, and still displays a tendency to increase. As tho popu lation of India exceeds 250,000,000, the Indians and Chinese together constitute more than half tho en tire human race, a fact worthy the attention of those philosophers who study London and Paris, and then announce that ''man believes" this and that There are many races of men, but some of tho foremost among them, e. g., the French and the Arabs, scarcely increase at alL whilo a few, e. g., tho Ottomans, slightly de cline. If tho process now going on continues for another century, tho world will belong in the main to four races, or rather peoplo the Teutons, most of whom will speak English; tho Slavs, tho Chinese, and tho natives of India. It is quite possible, however, that they may quarrel, and that their march toward the mastery of the planet, -which else will belong to them like a cheese to mites, may be seri ously checked. now he rcirprnis nAiit jowx. A correspondent writes at length giving the gist of a humorous incident which in its application shows how a tiling may be diverted from its true purpose, and again by its proper use proves itself to be one of those things which once used per forms its office in a permanent way. He says: Nop-KIstown, Pa., May 24, 1837 Gentle men A fellow-clerk, with uncontrollable hair, seeing me years ago use some oil, aupposd it was a toilet preparation, and anxious to obtain anything that would keep tlie hair parted and make it lay down nicely, applied it copiously to Ins head. By chance I found him rubbing it into his scalp. and asked : "What are you doing?" "Using your hair-oil." was the reply. "That's not o hair-oil," said I; "that's a cure rheumatism." "Well," said lie, "it looked so nice and smelled so nice, 1 used it to keep my hair down. The writer then goes on and fully ex plains the true purpose and jKTmanent effects of the great remedy referred to. "It is now about seven years .since I was cured of sharp rheumatic pains in my shoulders by fat. Jacobs Oil. Previous to that time I" had suffered at intervals for many years so severely that it was im possible for me to arise in the morning without first having the nlllictcd jiarts 'reated by brisk rubbing. "As a mere experiment, in the year 1379, 1 rubbed mvself with the remedy several times, and finding much relief', continued its use and was finally cured. Should the pains manifest any intention of returning 1 should treat them as I did seven years ago. Ever since 1 have always recommended it, not asa hairMilijugator, but as a great relief and cure for rheu .iiutiam. "Yours ex-rheumaticallv. 'D. J. Meiuiicu."
