Handley & faa are our Portland genta and copies of the Astorlan can be had every morning at their stand on First street COREA. The conditions preceding and indirect ly occasioning the present oriental com plication can best be understood by a consideration of the altogether peculiar nature of Corea, both as repards its topography and Us government. The narrow penlnst la which projects be tween the Japan and Yellow seas, Is, like Italy, severed from landward com mercial communication by a range of mountains. In this Isolated strip of territory, net quite the area of one-half of France, tho Inhabitants for years have been awaiting civil warfare and revolt - With ore-bearing and fertile lands and resources which mny prove to bo quite ns rich as those of Japan, tho estl mnted population of 10,000,0(10 or 12,000, 000 has been held back not by a lack of the trait of Industry, but by cx tremely crude and prlmatlve methods and' a government rotten with the abuses of civil office. Tho nobles, and particularly those of military rank, live upon tho people, and are themselves ex cmpt from UixUlon. I'.elow the nobles nre the merchant! and certain artlsnnB, Beneath the canto come the "despised classes, Including other artisans arid the serfs. The sovereign of the country Is an absolute monarch, honored as some one possessed of superhuman traits, whose pe.-son It is treason even to touch. Com pleto ns his authority Is, he is yet tit the behest of the all-powerful nobles, upon whoso traditional privileges he does not dare to trench. These nobles and the nine members of the Bupreme coun ell of state, together with a large clnxs of Idle and superfluous functionaries, have managed for years to oppress the people and crush them under heavy tax ntlon. It was as much In revolt against this oppression as In dread and hatred of the royal power that tho Corean rev-O' lutlon of 1884 was Instituted, and al though tho revolt died ' with nothing more disastrous than the loss of a few hundred lives, It was significant. The people were tired of supporting the wasteful extravagances of 322 governors and an Innumerable host of nobles to whom a stroke of work Is dishonor. Like the Chinese, the Coreans have qualities of long suffering and patience, but when oppression becomes unbeara ble they protest with explosive sudden ness. The Immediate cause of the present Internal warfare was Just such a popu Inr outburst of Indignation, the peasant ry rlHlng In their wrath and worsting f Vl ft mvnmhi.nl I ww. . .a Iti V. -o I n n gngementa. The conditions which fol lowed were better than anarchy, and tho Intervention of Japan was a step taken both In the protection of her own Interests and In the quelling of what promised to be a bloody civil war throughout the hermit kingdom. It has long been patent to the Japan rno government that the Irade Interests of the orient might be greatly bright ened werj a reformed civil and fiscal system to be Imposed on Corea. There were oriortunlUe In the peninsula, but In the present condition of their development, either by the nutlve Co reai or by the numerous Ja)anese res idents, Is Impossible. Bhould the strug gle growing out of this state of affairs demand European interference, one of the later problems to be considered would be the reform of the Corean government COST OP TUB ST1UKE. V;r!c" r!!rsV, hnv kn mn.le showing, approximately, what has been j tho cost to the people, Including the strikers, of the Debs boycott. The high est estimate, and perhaps the most ac curate, Is made by Bradstreet's, which puts the total loss at $100,000,000, more thaa one-half of which Is charged to the employes of railways and other wage-earners. This estimate Axes the sum of $20,000,000 as the amount of wages lost by railroad employes, and $35,000,000 as the loss of other employes In the various branches of business which were closed, or partly so, by the strike. The rest Is made up of losses suffered by railroads, the government. merchants and others. As the strike was purely sympathetic and with no direct grievance back of It on the part of the American Railway Union, it Is apparent that It would have been vastly better for the strikers to have kept at work, earned the $20,000,000 they have lost, end expended a part of It In assisting the real parties In In terest In the strike at Pullman. Had the sympathy of the union shown Itself In that direction there would now be neither appeals for food at Pullman nor petitions on the part of certain sym pathizers for restoration to their old Jobs. Mr. Debs would not be perplexed with legal proceedings, and the revival of business, which had begun when the strike broke out, would not be indefi nitely postponed. Strikes have ceased to be valuable as remedies for wrongs. Yet who shall say that the great railway strike has not prepared the way, directly or Indl ectly, for a better understanding with one another on the port of the great forces of the country? National author ity has been strengthened; the working men are turning from the strikes to the ballot box, and are vowing Independent action in politics; the. whole world has been profoundly stirred by the destruct ive warfare, The vast sums which It has cost will not have been wasted If the lessons of tho strike are taken to heart by the public. h r f I ! y r NATURAL FLAVOR; without that scalded milk taste, also light pure cream coior, uniform consistency and perfect keeping quality.

The ease with which di vorces are secured Is shown by tho re cord ot 107,000 divorces for the year Central Oflke, 515 Third Street, 1893.
