' FOREIGN IMMIGRATION.
The increase In the unmber of steer
rrt bound over
age pawwimeiii
those arriving, and which has been not
cd for some months without abatement
la takan to mean that the tide of Immi
gration, for the time being at least, has
turned, and that the emigrants excecu
the Immigrants very eonsldarably. At
the port of New York, at which 75 per
cent of all Immigrants land, the Juiy
report shows arrivals aggregating iw
049, of which not over one-half are Im
migrants proper, while the departures
were 19,903 steerage passengers, pre
sumably, emigrants.
It would be natural to suppose, If
foreigners were returning to their own
countries from the United States, fiat
the number of Immigrants would Bhow
a falling off, ani the treasury report
for the fiscal year 1894 just Issued does
show o falling off of. 180,632 In the
numbar of Immigrants this year over
1893. Ono peculiar feature of this ex
hibit Is that there Is no country that
has not sent us fewer Immigrants this
year than last.
It Is believed that foreign lmmlsra-
lion reached Its climax In 1892, when
fiin.320 aliens came to the United States,
The next year the number was reduced
to 497,930, and In the present fiscal year
It has been again reduced to 311,404, or
only about one-half the number that
inn.lPd in 1892. The hard times here
may have had something to do with the
movement of Immigrants, but times
have been harder In those countries
from which we receive tho most Immi
grants than we have been here.
Strict Inspection has had much to do
with the d3errse. During the present
fiscal year 2.3M Immigrants have been
burred from the United States, of which
number 1,527 were contract laborers und
780 were paupers. This has had a re.
training effect In foreign countries,
and haa prevented & lurgur number
from coming here than the mere fig
ures r?present. It Is not probable that
the foreign population Is to be seriously
reduced by the return of any consider
able number to their native lands, but
It Is reasonably certain that we are to
got fewer Immigrants and these of a
better class.
TAINT THH POLES.
The atreeta of Astoria are fast filling
up wttJi telegraph, telephone, electric
light and Btrect railway poles. While
they are In many Instances unsightly
things, they are considered a public
necessity, and are not only here to Btay.
but their number will without doubt
be augmented from time to time.
Why not, then, make them as pleas
ing to the eye as possible? Why not
follow out the law laid down In the or
dinance relative to pulea bearing wire
In the publlo streets of Astoria, and
paint them? The law la there and
should be strictly followed out,
Section 1 of Ordinance No. 1150, en
titled "an ordinance regulating the
erection of poles and hanging wires for
electric tlgrjt, tiVsrapbl fli alarm,
telephone and other purposes," says In
this particular that all poles "shall be
pl uned smooth on all sides and
PAINTED."
The law Is there plain enough, and If
the corporations owning poles on any
of the stiwts of Astoria can show
rnuse why they have not obeyed It to
the letter, a much neglected public
would like to hear from them.
COUNTY ASSESSOR'S NOTICE.

AN OLD DEMAND
Ll Hung Chang's calling card looks
familiar. Every patriotic American
who celebrates the Fourth of July ap
propriately has seen the same thing on
his flre-crackcr packages.
If the price of corn and wheat keeps
going up the calamity howlers will be
out of a job, and the happy Democrat
will bo in a position to any modestly,
"We Democrats did it."
That anxious, care-worn look, report
ed of late to be on the flabby physiog
nomy of the sea serpent is undoubtedly
the result of those Chinese names Jour
neying over the cableB.
In Its efforts to elevate the price of
corn lost week It Is noticeable that the
drought was, as usual, assisted by the
labors of the slow but Industrious
chinch bug.
