o-) U gaitH S ASTORIA. OREGON TUESDAY - MARCH 23. 1890 City u CeHBtjr Oflclal Paper. -1 WORD OF WARRING. Wnru: additions and suburbs and plate arc all right, and no fault is to be found Tritb. anything that lays legiti mate chum to location, yet a word of warning is requisite regarding the ten dency to bank on Astoria's prestige by advertising "additions" bearing eu phonious names, but with no actual claim to suburban locality. Such practices injure Astoria and the sale et Astoria and outlying property. Take, for instance, the alleged addition of "Bosedalo." People come here who have bought "lots" in "Kosedale," a little tract ten miles from anywhere, baek in the tall timber, and with as uch right to bo called an "addition" a Saddle mountain, and are arpriscd and disappointed when they leam tho truth. Such ac tion may not be outside of the law, but it should be exposed. It tunes rery near to obtaining money wider false pretenses to sell "lots" to i&nocent purchasers in denso timber, tar removed from any possibility of being within hailing distance of this tttr this century. Virn regard to tho theory of property-holding which lies at tho basis ef all state socialism, it may bo well to redirect attention to tho fact that laud was originally held in common by the first possessors of the earth, ad only passed into private owner ship when its longer tenure upon any Biker basis would have resulted in the teolument of the most Ehiftless in tke community at tho espouse of the wwt industrious. Property lias passed ace, and apparently for all time, through tho stage of being hold in urnnon by tho tribe or nation for tk benefit of the whole, though aommon tenure in land still prevails Uaong soino of tho peoples of tho aet, and inures, we are told, vory lit U to their improvement Evon tho Indians on our reserves bear -witness to the necessity for private owner kip, and secure to the thrifty the onferoal occupation of his home aud farmstead by a rough unwritten law, haring to the unthrifty tho right to kant over and how wood from only ch portions of the domain as have ot yet been cultivated, in common with his more thrifty comrade. ' T&k Chinese government is contem plating a revolution in the coinage of that country, wliich is now of copper, tanging in value from about a mill to a oin worth about 20 cents in face vain, without either gold or silver ins. Bars of gold and silver bullion, lowever, are used in commerce, and tfec Mexican silver dollar circulates -xtensivGly in tho seaboard cities. It it xkjw proposed by the Chinese gov ernment to make silver a money metal sad to issuo a series that will respond somewhat to our dollars, halves, quarters and dimes. Tho coin age will be uniform throughout tho vast empire, rith its 430,000,000 pop ulation at least six and a half times that of tho United States. This will pen a new market for the silver of the world and ought to make silver higher in price and aid in re-establish-g its old-time ratio with goid. Tszfact begins to crop out hero and there, through theory and speculation, tkat nobody knows yet what is tho ral war liko value of some of the most eetly and important improvements that have been made or proposed. Is a hundred-ton gun so much more jiowerful than a ten-ton gun that rk efficiency will repay the increased cet? Is a ten-thousand-ton ship, aeed in a foot of steel armor all over, ge ranch more destructive to an semy'B navy or commerce or sea oast cities than a small, swift, well armed Teasel that it will pay to recon struct navies, partially, at least, with up chips? Nobody knows by trial or experience. Ms. ExxBALtt, the sapient superin tendent of the life saving service is a . example of how a being can walk erect on two legs with the outward semblance of humanity and still be a donkey. Congressman Hermann re cently, went before a congressional committee in an attempt to have ade quate appropriation for increased life saving service on this coast. Superin tendent Kimball opposed it because no one had ever been drowned at these places. He wants to wait he says, and see some seamen drowned before af fording the protection of a life-Baving station to points on tho Pacific coast where nothing but the utmost stretch of watchful vigilance daily averts dire- lui aisasrer. Durixg 1889 tho amount of opium smuggled into the United States along the shores of Paget sound has been variously estimated at from 500 to 1,000 pounds per week. With the duty at $10 per pound the amount lost by the government may be easily calcu lated. With the limited force of men in the customs service at Port Town send, the collector finds himself pow erless to stop it Tnn president issued a proclama tion yesterday warning all and sun dry from poaching in Alaskan waters. A revenue cutter of steaming qualities, superior to any now possessed by the government, would be more effectual in this regard than a presidential proc lamation. a m ' ' ' The nickname of North Dakota is the "flickertail state." This completes the list of tho four new common wealths. South Dakota is the "swinge-cat state. Washington is the "chinook state," and Montana is the "stubbed-toe state." Wonderful Results Results often follow tho uso of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Berere cases of scrofula, upon which other prep arations have been powerless, yield to tho peculiar curative powers of tlili medicine. Distressing cases of dyipepsla, excruciat ing complaints of the kidneys and liver, agonizing Itch and pain of salt rhoum, disagrec- ablo cases of catarrh, and aches and pains of rheumatism, aro cured by Hood' Sar saparilla. It purines tho blood, and at tho samo time tones tho stomach, creates an appetite, and gives strength to every f uno tlon of the body. Give It a trial. General Debility "For four years my wlfo suffered with largo tumor bunches on tho glands under tho arms, ind general debility of tho whole system. She became so poor In health that wo were on tho vergo of despair regarding her recovery. Physicians did not seem to understand her case; at all events she never derived any benefit front their treatment. She finally concluded tc try Hood's Sarsaparilla. The immediate effect was so marked and satisfactory that she continued to take It, and this Is the result: She has gained in weight From 84 to III Pounds and is stronger and in better health than she has been for years. The bunches under her arms have diminished, and we believe Hood's Sarsaparilla will bo too much for them in time." J. J. Noncaoss, 236 Com. mercial Street, Boston, Mass.
