The ex-secretary never was much at di plomacy. . 0 m B Over at Seattle when the enterpris ing burglar's not a burgling he loves to he a bawsking in the sun, and the Seattle cops are running him in num erously. Colorado is going to establish a home for indigent printers. Good! Keep one ward for the indigent and oft indignant print who monkeys and makes sense with and of the idiotorial copee. Since October, 1888 there has been an increase of three feet in the depth of water on the bar. So says the official government chart, corrected to June 26th, 1889. The jetty is already doing its work. The "one hundred beautiful young ladies" who appear in the "Twelve Temptations," at Portland, receive salaries of 5 each per week. And yet people prate about the immorality of the stage. Low wages are the par ents of much immorality among all classes. TnE Philadelphia North American advises all people to look before they drink. It is a very good suggestion. Had it been heeded, so many of Phila delphia's prominent citizens would not be going around now with eroded throats, the result of mistaking the ammonia bottle for their morning medicine! The efficacy of whiskey for snake bites received its vindication the other day in Mohawk valley, Nevada. The child of senator Enimitt was bitten three times in the face by a snake, whereupon a timely ministration of whiskey, which is always handy in Nevada, saved the child's life. What would have become of that infant in a prophiition state? Astoria wants no silly "boom" such as has proved a boomerang to so many aspiring towns. She needs no such transitory device. But she does want the development of considerable energy. Faith without works is dead Knowing we have superior location and the natural resources is secondary only to demonstrating the fact. A little energetic showing is in order. Denomikatioxaii journalism on the Pacific coast does not appear to be au unqualified success. The latest issue of the California Christian Advocate prints the plaintive plea: Between May 1st and August is the time of great scarcity of money in this office. Our accounts for the Advocate are all out. We hare used np all our re serves. Things look blue. We need money every day. Our workmen must be Said. We do not buy paper on credit. ur friends could greatly relieve the sit uation by paying np now every dollar they can. A year or so ago Kansas City Mis souri, was the liveliest city in the United States. It had a great boom and thousands of people settled there. Heal estate sold for gilt edged prices Splendid business blocks sprung up as if by magic. People were wild then. To-day they are long faced and sad. The town is as "dead as a door nail." The boom has collapsed and all the rustling real estate agents have moved to other towns. While going about the city a visitor notices many low lots and many amusing siems nailed over them. One of them reads: DROP A LOAD OF EARTH IN UERE AND SEE THE LOT FILL UP. Chris. Buckley, the Democratic boss of San Francisco, is in New York and is living in great style at one of the fashionable hotels at the expense of $250 a day. Mr. Buckley was once a sort of general roustabout in a San Francisco saloon. What an in spiration is his career to the young men of the country! By getting a saloon of his own, by securing the control of the offices of a large city, by making every clerk in such offices divide his salary, by levying $200 up on every teacher as the price of her employment in the public schools, by controlling a legislature and selling it out to men who want bills passed or defeated, almost any young man will rise to fame as Buckley has, can afford to make tours to Europe, live at the Hoffman House in New York at an expense of $250 a day, and in many other ways get a great deal out of life.

Stephens estate began suit for $113,000 to-day against Henry Jones formerly Mr. Stephens confidential agent Alili ABOUT TWO BARRELS OF GREASE. Last Saturday Jho. Quinlan, cook on board the British ship Scottish Glens assaulted and almost fatally in jured the master of the vessel, CapL Wm. Whiteford. The details of the affair are as follews: When the ves sel left Liverpool, Quinlan was en gaged to come to this port as cook, he was as is usual in shipping circles to have all the grease which was fried out of the meats for his own. When the vessel got to Portland he had saved up two barrels of material. Last Saturday he effected a sale of them to a local tradesman. AVhen the deal er went down to the ship after his newly purchased goods he found one barrel out on the deck and the other was beiner rolled off the vessel. The captain came out of the cabin just at that juncture, and ordered the men to desist from rolling the kegs ont. When Quinlan said he owned them and would roll them out it he a -a pleased. Captain Whiteford, who is a very old man, then approached Quinlan, who became so thoroughly enraged that he struck the master a terrible blow just below the heart fell ing him as he would a butchered ox. The captain lay in an unconscious state for some time. Dr. C. W. Wheeler found him to be in a critical condition. Quinlan was at once arrested, but will have no examination till it is known whether or not captain Whiteford is danererously hurt The injured man, besides being old has, for years suffered from heart dis ease, which fact it is said, his assail ant well knew, and struck him theft on account of that weakness. Quinlan did not take away the bar rels of grease. JUDGE COOLEY'S TRAVELS. Washington, July 22.

This fund now amounts to over $3,000,000, exclusive of what they will receive under the Oklahoma appropriation. Noble has taken the subject under consideration, and if the law permits him to order this pay ment he will probably do so. COMPDAINT OF CANADIAN MILLERS. Toronto, July 22.

Abraham Hare, druggist, Bellville, Ohio, affirms: "The best selling medi cine I have ever handled in my 20 years' experience, is Electric Bitters." Thou sands of others have added their tcsti monv, so that the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters do cure diseases of the Liver, Kidneys or Blood. Only a half dollar a bottle at J. W.

Much interest is now centered in the Alaska pack, and both canners and buyers are waiting next advices from that district. A letter received by a prominent house in the salmon trade in this city came to hand yesterday, which is important as an indication of what is being done in Alaska. The letter bore date of June 24th, and came from Kayak Island, opposite the mouth of Copper river and near Prince William sound. It was earned to Ju neau bv a small schooner engaged in Indian trading near Copper river. At and near this point there are located four canneries, viz: Peninsular Packing and Trading company. Central Alaska Packing company. Pacific Packing company. Pacific Whaling and Fishing Com pany. Prom the first two canneries men tioned shipments of salmon have been expected daily. The letter referred to says the vessel will not get away before July 25th, and possibly not then. In place of a 10,000 case pack for the Peninsula Packing Co., and of 7,500 for the Central Alaska Co., up to July 1st, there had been put up to June 24th 1,500 cases and 700 cases respectively. This is the most dis couraging information that has come from the northern fisheries this sea son. & F. Grocer and Country JJer chant, 19. The Albany and Astoria Railroad. The surveyors of the Albany and Astoria railroad have now reached a point six miles north of this city. There are fourteen men in the party, under surveyor "W. B. Barr. They have heretofore made this city their headquarters, but they have now sup plied themselves with tents and equip page and will camp along the route. This company means business and will expend several thousand dollars in surveying the route this summer. "Albany to Astoria" is their motto, and when to the $1,000,000 capital stock of the company is added the backing of which they have assurance, the project will prove to be no idle undertaking.
