THE CHRISTMAS LETTER. It is to be regretted that any delay should huvu been occasioned in fclvlnrf to the press of the country and In hav lug read In the nation's iD'igress the if solutions presented by President On- born at the meeting, of the Portland Chamber of Commerce in Wednesday, The truth or falsity of Pennoynr's state ments can be rtadlly established be yond fear of successful contradiction In fait, the Oregminn. taking Hrud street's us an authority, shows that lew-. than six per cent of tho reHldenta of Portland are contained In the sum tola! of unemployed and ttywe depending upon them for support. Why, then should there bo any delay !n branding us fals-.: the bald stiitemtnli that-two- thirds of ths population of O.csin are unemployed and more than one third without sufficient mown of vipporl Ii goes without saying that the per tent age of unemployed is greater in Port land than e'sewhe.t! in the .ita'.e Then whore are the 210,000 unemployed to be found? "Mr. De Lashmutt did not con sider it wise for the chamber to fall Into the governor's error of overdrawing the plcturi!. If any resolution were U bo adopted, let them state the state I affairs as It exists, and show that Port land Is no worse of than any oth city In the country." We quote from the Oregonlan's account of the meeting of Portland's Chamber of Commerce, That argument, If carried to its Kg leal conclusion, would allow the infer ence to be drawn that Portland's con dltlon Is no worse but certal.ily at deplorable as that of Cleveland, Ohio, where the unemployed and their de pendents are shown to number lOO.Oon, being 34'A per cent of the entire popu lation: or that Oregon throughout is In the same boat with Evansvllle, Ind., where 45 per cent of the population are Included In the unemployed and their dependents. Certainly Mr. Do Lashmutt's point is not well taken. One thing la certain, while money is not jdentlful in Astoria, there arc no case of starvation, and but few unemployed. If we except the property owners whore employment in the main consists in col lecting rents and waiting for the build. Ing of a. railroad to transcontinental connection. It has often been declared by those who profess to be ftunillur with the gtgns of the times, that this is woman's era, and there seems to be plenty of proof for those who are looking for it, Occupations which for ages have been hld by men, such as clerkships, i-.c, are In many Instances passl.ig Into the hand of what has he.-etofore been designated as the "softer sex." The xlght ot women as ticket-sellers is pot n uncommon one In the. ele -riled rail road offlcea tu the East, and quite re cently another city railroad In that ectlon of the country has signified Its Intention ot displacing Its mate clerks ly womftH. Incidentally, It Is presumed, there wlU be saving of a few thmis an dollars, fcut th main Idea, of course s the "advanc of wobjcb.' Doubtless in tlms they will be able to support tholr husbands on their earnings. It Is a t howaver, that In this country. greater opportunities are open to wom en who desire or ar r.hll trail hvr . losi.it stances to earn their own support, and often to support aged or other wise disabled parents or youngir slst iis or brothers. In many of the lighter oc cupations they have proved a great success, and In some cases nave shone professional life. But this is reaching Into the realms, of genius, and genius. we are told, has no sex. The real point that there are many occupations which women can fill as acceptably as men That being the case, no discrim ination should be made in their remu nerauon. it a woman does a man'b work as well as a man, she should le- celve a man's pay A report comes from Mexico Hat squads of Chinese are heading lor the Rio Grande in fon ll.-nt belief that it will be an easy matter to cross Into l.if United States territory. The revnd i.f the smugglers Is put at $50 per 1 Mid. Quite that amount, - remarks an tx chande, rewarded the ugouts who par ticipated in -he extensive smuling by way of Puget Sound ports, and p Chinaman is worth ;uat as ;nu?h cm sb ing from Mexico, The sooner registra tion Is completed the bett.-r, and ven then there will bo deception. Property owners have been bro jht t a realization of the fact that in orcie. to bring about fruitful resilts, the In ducement offered for a railroad sulmld.i must be greater than that subscriber.' for the deal with Mr. Remington. Thli Is evidenced by the liberality will which many have responded during thi past two or three days, an exampK which will, we trust, be followed b) all. An acre of land within the limit: of the city of Astoria will certainly bi worth more after a railroad Is bull than could be had for a score of acre under the conditions now existing Why, then, should holders of realt; hesitate about making an Investmen which would yield such a nv.tgniflcen return. Haptly for the future of thi town, the citizens are now working to gether In harmony, and with everj promise of prosperity In the near fu ture. "THUMB PRINTS." By Mark Twain.
