There is considerable consolation a contemplating the state of affairs ia this country, especially to the resi dents of the Pacific coast, as illus trated by a telegram on the first page oaeeraing the decrease in our Chi e population. In the last seven ai a half years the arrivals of Chinese have been 79,881 asd the departures 94,213, so that we aavo lost 14,332. This is indeed grati fying, as all here know full well how detrimental to our industries and isjurious to our population is the presence of the "Mongoli aae. Yet our friends beyond the Rockies think we are cruel to oppose Chinese immigration. Of late, how ever, John is not quite so 'eftjonie to iteem as formerly, for they are begin ning to understand the evil, as the aaoon-eyod heathen increase among tbem. A tariff for revenue only is free trade. No one understands that free trade means essentially that no duty at all be levied on any imports. That for convenience is called extreme free trade or absolute free trade. But free trade against which protectionists contend is a tariff that is not protec tive. It is not correct to sav that a manufacturer enjoys "some protec tion' if the tariff is so low as to give the foreign com petitor an advantage. For instance, if an article costs ten cents to manu facture it in England and bring it to our market, and the same article costs twenty cents to manufacture and put on the market here, a tariff of five cents on that article affords no protec tion whatever it is free trade to all in tents and purposes, so fnr as the issue between free trade and protection is concerned. In the case supposed it would require a tariff of ten cents to enable the home manufacturer to compete with the foreigner on the merits of his coods, and he would still have to share the market with him unless ho could reduce the wages of his employes or otherwise lower the cost of his goods ao as to undersell the foreign compet itor. These simple and plain truths are ignored or thrust out of sight by the advocates of the Mills bill, who talk about the "protection1' it leaves in the tariff. A WEAKNESS OF MANY 3IEN. Tradition says that in the year 1841 a Spanish bark was riding at anchor opposite the present townsito of Col umbia City and near the farm now owned by Hez Caples. There was a large amount of treasure aboard the vessel, and the crew conspired to ob tain possession of it They mutinied, assassinated the captain, and buried the gold and silver in the vicinity of Caples' farm, so at least is the report The inconsistent shade of this tra dition, however, is the burial of the treasure when the mtirineers had un swayed control of the bark. But as the story is told a Telegram reporter, some of the Spaniards subsequently returned, endeavoring to recover the money, yet without success. Others who became acquainted with the fact that a great fortune had been buried on or near Caples' farm made unsuccessful efforts to find it, but always with serious consequences to one or more of the searching parties. At a spiritualistic meeting in this city some five or six years ago a spir itualist claimed to have had a revela tion as to the identical spot where the Spaniards had covered up their ill gotten wealth which never gave them a moment's happiness or enjoyment Several of the spiritualists, reposing confidence in revalation, visited Ca ples' farm, and, after -arching sev eral days, they discovered a large de posit of small rocks at a depth of a foot in the soil, and supposed the money to be buried beneath it While they were at work removing the rocks one of the men dronneil dead. This created such consternation among the j rest that the p:irty abandoned their 1 labors. 2Sb fnrther efforts to secure the hid den treasure were put forth till last week, when another party went on this evident wild goose chase. Among them was one William Matthews, who succeeded in locating the rock depost While delving underneath it, in the expectancy of unearthing a huge for tune, he struck a mass of human bones. During the few minutes consumed in examining them, Matthews was trans formed into a raving maniac. After that his associates also abandoned the work Matthews was brought to this city on the steamer Alarm, last Friday and is now under the care of his friends, who will cause his removal to the in sane asylum should he not soon re cover his reason Portland Tele gram, 7. Happy Hoosicrs. Win. Timmons, postmaster of Ida villc.

LOTS FOK SALE BY NEW TO-DAY The editorial pnff, says the Puux- wtawney Spi ri f,is the gentlest, breez- Mt thing about a newspaper. It en eoftrees many n man who is contem v4atsnff suicide to brace up and respect himself, and Lurries others into un tkacly graves. There are various kinds" of puffs. Some resemble the sephyr, that make the lily bow its head like the modest girl; some are like the breezes, perfumed with apple bks6oms, that sway the hollyhocks; others like the wind, that sweeps cross the fields of grain and causes gentle billows to arise and fall like ocean waves; and still others like the tempest that rives the knotty oak and lashes the angry waves against the beetling rocks. Modest people like the mild variety. Busi ness men the medium grade, and actors and politicians the furious kind filled with picturesque adjectives and esperlatives. Before the advent of MwEpapers, the knights and squires of those queer old times must have led a very unsatisfactory life. Think of a man wearing out his old frame and waiting around during all the weary years of his profitless existence without ever seeing liis "namo in the paper." It must have been excruci ating. Most peoplo sav they do not, but nevertheless many people do like to see their names in print A friend of ours from Locust Lane canic in the other day and said: I thought "you would have my same in the paper last week." Oa what grounds?" we inquired. "Because," he replied, "I was thrown oat of a buggy and fractured my clav icle." "Ah, ah," we answered, "that was unfortunate for you, but the accident was scarcely serious enough to merit newspaper mention.' M Whatf exclaimed our friend in as toaiahment, "does a man have to break his neck before ho can get his in the paper r" Notice.
