MARCH 14.1800 City ami County Official Paper. cZxada lias a debt of. 280,000,000 ana a yearly taxation of 47,000,000, sad Las a population of 5,000.000. "We hare a population of G5,000,000 and our national debt would be over $3, 000.000,000 and our annual tax above S61i.O0O.O00 it we owed as much in proportion to numbers as our adjacent neighbor. This terrific burden upon the people ot the Dominion explains srhy eo many ot its people are scur rying over the border to come to us, and suggests that the United Stales sbould pause and ponder before tak ing, it it had the power, a people so heavily hamiered under the American Sfig. Canada will be obliged to dis cover some other modus vicendi than shelter under the wings of the Ameri can eagle. Few cities in the United States arc receiving more favorable mention at present than Astoria. One thing, how ever, we must bear in mind, and that is that we must not rely entirely upon our natural advantages, but must manifest an energy and determination to do all in our power to push on the work ot public improvements. Let streets be graded, the city well lighted, abundant schools provided, xnd let every individual owner try to have his home and surroundings neat and attractive. Encourage good so ciety and even enterprise which is calculated to advanco business or manufacturing, and let every man work for the good ot the city, irre spective of any local, petty or per sonal prejudices. The kingdoms and monarchies or the old world are fairly shivering with terror, and already feel as if they were seeing the handwriting on the wall be tokening their speedy destruction. The grest socialistic wave is sweeping over the Euroiean nations, and the vast army of ill-fed and poorly-paid laborers are rising in their might and demanding their rights. The won derful success of this mighty re public of ours, which in 113 years has sprung from nothing to the front rank nmong the nations ot the earth, has aroused in the breasts of the poor and down trodden or foreign lands a de arc for a republic and ere many years shall pass away, that desire may be realized, and on the ruins of the thrones of tlie old world may be built the enduring towers of the United States of Europe. THE QUESTION SETTLED. This is n faithful pic tnrc of the establish ment of Thomas Price Son, nt 521 Sacra racnto St, S. F. As tbo leading chemists of the west, they were eked to settle the qncstion as to what sarsa rri&s were ia fact rarely vegetable. IVc preset their report. "We have made careful AcKies.1 ezatyscs of several well tooicn brands tf ferszparUla, czd have found them all with ftetixclc exception of Joy's to contain iodide of ptHufiaxz. As a result we ere enabled to pro Ksce Joy's to le Vie only purely vegetable serjspcrfHa now on the viarkct, which has come taAcr our observation." Modern medicine fes proven that all ordinary face eruptions re c&cscd by Indigestion and slusjish circu Ution, which call for vegetable alteratives, iastc&d ot mineral blood purifiers lite iodido ai jotassiurs. Joy's Vegetable Sarsaparilla is Us first to discard the old notions and pro ceefitadcr the modern thoory. Its cures are lie tilt of the hour. The Kansas state board of agricul ture reports that the population of that state has declined 56,633 the past year. Eupcpsy.
