Newspaper Page Textm t gnUg Historian. ASTORIA. OREGON: 1 HUttftDAY... DEOEMKKU 1. 1&&7 Fuosr recent editorial remarks in the Oregonvm and the IWvr? it ap pears that the editors ot these news papers realize and fully appreciate the folly of personalities and squab bles. In this they set a good exam ple to newspaper men throughout the northwest. Straightforward criticism or clever rotort is always iu order, but the less jangling and snarling in news papers the better all round. The aggregate of November clear ances foreign, from the Columbia is a good showing, and one that it is be lieved will be exceeded this month. With a little less disposition to cinch, evinced by the present proprietors of the tug service on the bar, the Co lumbia can hold its own against rival ports. At no season in its history were there so many vessels of large tonnage in the river, and bound in, as during the present one. TTpon- rehirninir iiom a tour of Eu ropean countries where he walked among and talked with the laboring people, senator Frye said: "One-third of the laboring people of Europe are in abject poverty; not more than one laborer in 5,000 earns a dollar a day; eighty cents a day for a Belgium steel worker; jiauperism and its accompany ing horrors and vices are the lot of the European workingmau and woman, both iu England and on the conti nent." mi m Blatxc's programme, as alleged, is to btay in Europe all winter, and next spring make a tour of the Orient, re turning to the United States via Ja pan, and arriving in San Francisco a few days before the national Eepubli cau convention, in which body it is thought he will receive the unani mous nomination for president. As it is as much a certainty as anything in the future can be that president Cleve land will receive the Democratic nom ination, it now looks as though the presidential campaign of 'SS will be a repetition of that of '34, with, let us hope, less scandal and personalities. It is probable that our postal serv ice will reach a paying basis by next year, unless there is some new item of expenditure added thereto. It had about reached this point at the time the three cent letter rate was reduced to two cents. The annual excess of expenses over receipts has run from 3,000,000 to 815,000,000. The defi ciency for the fiscal year which ended June 30, 18SG, was but $0,900,000. In the year ending with last June it was about $4,000,000. For the coming year estimates based on observations thus far indicate that the deficiency will not be more than $1,000,000. As the carrying of the business mail of the office holders of the country cost about $2,000,000, it will thus appear that the popular service now really more than pays for itself. When it is remembered that our postal system covers more miles and calls for more employes than any other in the world, this condition speaks in strong terms of its general management and the prosperity and business activity of the people. Salt for ISrrarh of Contract. San Fkan-ciscd. Nov. 29. Snit has been commenced in the superior court by Win. T. Coleman Sc Co. against The Arctic Packing company, to recover S10,030 damages for breach of contract. It is alleged that in February, '87 plaintiff agreed to pua ' chase all of defendant's packing of red brand salmon. A contract was enterei into with exclusive reference io brands then used by defend int. The fish was purchased for the pnr pos of acquiring ami holding t e same for a higher value. Subsequent ly the salmon specified in the eon trzjct did increase in "price. It is claimed the packing company omitt ed to brand G')00 eases of snlmon for the purpose of defeating the terms of the contract. A new brand ;vas in vented, and these cases were labeled with the new brand, and the Milruon. which was of the same quality as hat purchased by plaintiff, was placed ed on the market, to the damage of plain tifT.

Have only just returned from tho new mado crave of a little boomlet of ray own. Ycsterdav I due n little holo in tho back yard and buried in it my little boom, wherothepio plant will cast its cooling shadows over it and the pinch-bug can come unu caroi auove u at evenuuo. A few weeks ago a plain man came to mo and asked mo my name, ltefresbinfj my memory by looking at tho mark on my linen 1 told him promptly who 1 was. He said that ho had resided in New York for a long time and felt that the hour had now arrived for politics in this citj- to be purified. Would I assist him in this great work? If so, would I appoint a trysting place where wo could meet and tryst. I suggested the holy hush and quiet of lower Broadway or the New York end of the East river bridge at 8 o'cleck: but he said no, we mitjht be discovered. So wo agreed to meet at my house. There he told mo that his idea was to run me for the sate senate this fall, not be- cause ho Had any. political axe to grind, but because he wanted to see the old methods widen out, and the will of the people find true and unfettered expre3 sion. "And, sir," I asked, "what party do you represent?"' "I represent those who wish for parity, those who sigh for the results of un bonght suffrages, those who despise old methods and yearn to hear the unsmoth ered voice of the people." "Then vou aro Mr. Vox Popali himself perhaps." ''No. mv name is Kareill, and I am iu dead earnest. I represent the party of purity in Now York." 'And why did you not lrin the party with you? Then you and I and my xvifo and this party you speak of could havo had a gamo of whist 'together," said I, with an air of inimitable drollery. But ho seemed to be shocked by my trifling manner, and again asked weto bo his standard-bearer. Finally I said, reluctantly, that I would do so, for I have always said that I would never shrink from my duty in case I should be, come tho victim of political preferment. In Wvomine I had several times ac cepted the portfolio of justice of tho peace, and so I know what it was to be called forth by the clamorous appeals of ray constituents and asked to stand up for principle, to buckle on the armor of true patriotism and with drawn sword and overdrawn salary to untue i r me rioht. In running lor oflico in Wyoming our greatest expense and annoyance arose from tho immense distances we had to travel in order to go over ono county. Many a day I have traveled during an exciting canvas from daylight till dark without meeting a voter. But hero was a senatorial district not larger than a joint school district, and I thought that tho expense of making a canvas would be comparatively small. That was where I made a mistake. On tho day after Mr. Lucifer Kargill had entered my home and with honeyed words made me believo that Now York had been figuratively spoaTring, sitting back on her haunches for fifty years wait ing for me to come along and be a standard-bearer, a man carao to my house who said he had heard that 1 was looking to ward the senate, and that he had come to see me as the representative of Irving hall, i said i did not care a continental for Irving hall, so far as my own cam paign was concerned, as I intended to do all my speaking in the school-houses. Hesaid that 1 did not understand him. What ho wanted to know was, what per centage of my gross earnings at Albany would go into the Irving Hall sinking fund, provided that organization in dorsed me? I said that I was going into this campaign to purify politics, and that I would do what w.is right towards Irving Hall, in order to bo placed in a position sliere I could get in my work as a puri fier. We theu had a long talk upon what ho called the needs of tho hour. He said that I would make a good candidate, as 1 had no past. I was unknown and safe. Besides, he could see that I bad the ele ments of success, for I had never ex pressed any opinion about any thing and had never antagonized any of tho differ ent wings of the party by saying any thing that people had paid any attention to. Ho said also that he had learned I had belonged to all tho different parties, and so would be familiar with the meth ods of each. Ho then asked me to sign a pledge, and after I had done so he shook hands with me and went away. The next day I was waited upon by the treasurers of eleven chowder clubs, tbo financial secretary of tho Shanty Sharp shooters and Goat Hill volunteers. A man also c?me to obtain means for bury ing a dead friend. 1 afterwards saw him doing so to somo extent. He was burying his friend beneath the solemn shadow of a heavy mahogany-colored moustache, of which" ho was the sole pro prietor. I was waited upon by delegations from Tammany, tho county democracy and the Jt-iTersonian Simplicity club. Every oody beemed to have dropped his own business in order to wait upon me. I became pledged to everything on condition that I should be elected. It makes me shudder now to think what I may havo signed. I paid forty-odd dol lars for the privilege of voting for a beautiful child, and thus lost all influ ence with every other parent in the con test. I voted for the most popular young lady and heard afterwards that sho re garded me only as a friend. 1 had a biographj and portrait of myself printed iu aa obscure paper that claimed a large circulation, and the first time the forms went into tho pres3 a loose screw fell out of the machinery, caught on the fore head of my portrait and peeled back tho -calp so that it dropped over one eye like a prayer rug hanging out of the win low of a Constantinople minaret during house-cleaning time. I had paid a boy $ 5 to scatter these pipers among tho neighbors, but I met him as he came out of the office and made it ."i if he would "put them in the bosom of the moaning tide. Yesterday I tried to find the red-nosed man who first asked me to go into the standard-bearer business in order to withdraw my name, but 1 could not find him in the directory. I therefore take this means of saying, as I Raid to my Hssignee last evening, that if a public officer be a public bust, I might just as well bust now and havo it over. To-morrow I will sell out my residenca. a cane voted to me as the most popular man m tho state; also an assortment ot political pulls, a little loose in the han dles, but otherwise all right.
