The feeling is' steadily growing that (low Moody will commit a serious mis take tot to call nnoxtra session4' of tho legislature. It 1bv true this body had amplq tlmo to transact all tho business of important that demanded Its ntjon tloiC' Ini-lulllrjg Hip- olectou of "United Statcir senator. It 'failed to do mail things that werooxpedted nnd did many othors that wcro uncalled for and ought not to havo Iwon done. It Is hard toll ing which wero thu moro numorous, Its sins of omission or commission. Hut no good can bo subserved by discussing or crltlslng tho past. Tho prueticul ques tion for tho Kovornor nnd tho people is, wbufbad iK'st l done, now under exist-. Ingclrcumstancos? In tlto ojitnton 01 tho Nows, tlto projHjr jwllcy Im for tho governor t9.convono tho legislature in pxtra session, nnd glvo that body an othor opportunity to do what tho people elected to do. Tho reasons on which this opinion Is based are very numerous, nfow, of., which may bo stated: Tho member of 'tho loglslatttro, Hlnco they ltave had time for reflection and consul tation with their constituents, aro as much dissatisfied with their work as any othor portion of tho community. Thoy aro moro so, for m nuitmon to mo general feeling of aisconiom, many 01 tltem oxporloncod personal humiliation in having the sossion closo Hko u turbu lont ward mooting, Instead of tho ad- imiriitnnnt of a dlisnlfiod, law-making .Hinmulttnssainblv. Thoso inemborrt would rololco In tho opportunity to cor- rod as far as possible many of tho mis takes commlttod nt tlt regular session, and tltoro Is ovory roason for belloving that many of thorn would bo roctiflod. prhero would bo less dls)Osltlou on tho part Of tlto members to consult person al aspirations nnd moro to conform to jwptilar opinion, and UiIh could not fail to bo prpduptivu of wlmloBomo, rbsttlta.

Tho sonntorlul question may bo limiHliWM fir ins flitlS- trnM li iiAHlln.IH.. tho leglslftturo lit lra hoshIoiu If 'tho govornor npiwlntrf, tlto legislature of tho Slalo for tho next four years will bo em barrassed by senatorial contests precise ly as It Wrts Hls year. It Is well known to tho members of tho gouoral assscin bly, as well as to all Intelligent observ ers of its proceedings, that tho senator ial election became complicated with ovory variety of legislation. Dills of merely local signlllcnnce, ns well as laws ot general and wldo-sweoplng im portance to tho pcoplo of tho entire shilo, ycro passed or defeated, as their advocates or oppononta wer6 supposed to stand with rofo?onco to thu claims of senatorial aspirants. This was a most distressing condition of affairs nnd shows tho Importance of getting tho voxed controversy out of tho way of the next general assembly If it is -tossiblo to do so. Tho senatorial question is not tho only one that would bo disposed of at tho extra session. Other Important legislation-was" neglected which', in tlioir coolor moments, nnd unembar rassed by conflicting personal Interests, tho members would never havo crmit tod. If thoy 'nro given an opportunity to correct such mistakes, they will no doubt do so promptly and clteorfully, fJcjr.-Moody ought surely to glvo them this opportunity. Tho only objection that can bo urged against an extra ses sion Is its cost, and tho possibility that nothing beneficial will como of it. Tho CTt)eiftfJvilf bo a small matter compar ed with whatu prolongation of thu sena torial strlfd will cost. Tho dispute end-' cd by a lair election of a good man to tlto senate, supplemented with tho en actment ot two or three much-needed laws affecting tlto comincrcoof tho state, and adjusting tho relations of capital and labor credits, tho people would settle down to bttslnoss, nnd a marked chnngo in tho financial condition of tho state would quickly follow. Gov. Moody Is n practical business man, nnd cannot bo Ignorant of the fact that tho present iu ceftalnty in political matters is having a most depressing influence upon all de partments of trade, and that tho sooner this uncertainty is dispcllcd-b 'definite action on his part, tho hotter it will be for his state, nnd tho moro certainly will ho commend hlmsolt to the grati tttdo and confidence of tho people. Portland News. A Charter Case Settled. Tho Rowland Hill caso has at last boon disposed of. This vessel arrived ot Astoria October 20, 1883, from Tort Moody, in hallapt, under charter to Campbell) Hcatley & Co. of Liverpool, to load' wheat1 at Portland. Her charter expired nt Itundown October 31. Tho vessel left Astoria in tow on tho morn ing Of the 30lli, but was delayed by grounding, so that she did not reach Portland until tho afternoon of tho 31st. The captain immediately prepared for stlffunhig, and notified tho agent for tho charterers that ho was ready for cargo. Tho latter refused to accept tho vessel, claiming that she wasn't ready for car go, in that hIio had not been survoyed after grounding, nnd was not lined lor cargo. 6ho was nfterward taken up for wheat, loading by Balfour, Gttthrio & Co. at a lowor rute, aud her owners in stituted suit, for damages. Testimony vas taken at Portland by order of tho Liverpool court and forwarded. Tho caso was decided February 23 last in tho I.Iverjwol aBsizos before Justico Day. Thu following statement of tho decision bns been received, which, although n meairor account. bIiows tho result: "In Ihiscaso Ulnham, Q. 0., nnd French wero for tho plaintiff and Synott for tho defendants. Tho plaintiff, 8.

In the charter it was stipulated that tho ltowland'HUl should bo ready to rocolve cargo at Portland, Oregon, on October 31, 1883, at sundown, nnd should sho not bo ready tho charter was to bo can celed. Tho ship arrived on that date, but having a load of 300 tons ballast on board, sho was not roady to tako In car go, nnd tho charter party was cancoled. Tho vessel was consequently dolayed, .and tho domurugo and difference of freight afterward obtained amounted to XI 600. Ills lordship gavo judgment for tho plaintiff for that amount." Why the Wind Changes. That tho changing of tho direction of tho wind Is due to tho shifting of situa tions of greatest boat upon tho earth is substantially proved by thoiuct that In certain regious of tho earth's surfaco, whefo tlto situations of the greatest boat and cold do not niter tho direction in which thoy lio to each othor, tha wind does not chango, but always blows In the samo direction from ono day to an other, and all tlto yoar -round. This oc curs In tho great open spaco of tho ocean, whoro thoro Is no land to got heated up by tho sunshine of tho day and to got cool by tho scattering of tho bout at night. In thoso spaces for n vast breadth of'inany hundred mllos tho sun shines down upon tho surfaco of tho soa, boat ing tha water most nlong tho mldocoan track which lies most immediately oo MM,MMMI1 M ,MMM. . . . . . i 1 -. : -i vf, 4L.- -I m ar - j. m ,. .

Tho midway track of tho strongest sunshlho crosses tho wldo ocean as a belt or zone, that spreads some, way to clthor Hide of tlto equator. Throughout tids midway track tho coolor and heav ier air on cither band drifts In from tho north and from tho south, nnd thon rises up, as It becomes heated by tho Htiri, whoro tho two currents meet. In both instances, however, in conscqticnco of tho spinning round of tho earth, tho advancing wind acquires a westward as well as an equatorial drift. Tho air current ns It approaches tho midway equatorial zond, whero tho onward movement of tho sca-covored surfaco of the earth is performed with tho velocity of 1000 miles nn hour, docs not Imme diately acquire this full Tate of speed, and lags back upon tho ocean, so that it appears as a drift toward tho west an well as toward tlto equator. On tho north sldo of tho equator tho wind blows all tho year around from tho northeast, and on thu south sldo from tho southeast, both in tho Atlantic nnd Pacific oceans. These steady and un changing ocean winds art) called tho trado winds on account of tho great ser vice, they render to ships carrying mer chandise across these portions of tho sea. In sailing from England to tho Capo of Good Hope, through tho entire length of the Atlantic ocean, ships, bo- foro thoy reach tho equator, havo to pass over a broad space, whero strong winds nro nlways blowing steadily from tho northeast. That Is tho region of tho northeast trades. Thoy then traverso it space near to tho equator Itself, where tho northeast wind ceases to blow, and whoro tho nlr is very still and calm, nnd thov afterwards come to a rccion south of tho equator, whero strong winds aro continually blowing from thq southeast. Thnt Is tlio region of tho southeast trades. Cassell'o Magazine The First Move. The now Administration has played Its first movo in foreign politics by in timating to Moxlco that it will co-operate in resisting tho destruction by Bar rios of tho autonomy of tho Central American states. Secretary Bayard speaks only of "moral Inflncnco" and "good offices"; but as his colleague Whitney emphasizes his declaration by dispatching ships of war to Central America, this looks as if it might, under certain contingencies, dovclop into tho beginning of a "spirited foreign policy." It has tho advantage of a decided in dorsement 'by the senate, which on Tuesday, by an overwhelming vote, adopted a resolution offered by Senator Edmunds declaring that Barrios should bo prevented from annexing tho neigh boring republics. It is difficult to say what is right to do in the present state of nffairs. When Chile entered upon tho deglutition of Peru Secretary Kvarts looked on with ttneoncorn. After tho election Garfield Secretary Blaine inaugurated a policy of interference which was calculated to involvo tho United States in the contest. Whon ho went out Secretary Frelinghy sen reversed his policy nnd gavo Poru to understand that she must expect no help from this country. Congress did not commit itself on tho subject. It neither censured Blaine nor indorsed Frolingbtiyson. Bayard now seems dis posed to follow in Blaino's track and to givo proof to tlto world that tho United States has a foreign policy, and, to uso Blaino's expression, is not afraid to go out at night. It is a pretty serious matter. British intorforonco in Egypt undertaken, of cottrso, for selfish motives has left tho British nation with tho largest kind of nn elephant on its hands. It has ruin ed Egypt and has led to tho destruction of Aloxandria, tho death of Gordon, tho dlBgraco of tho British arms aud tho outbreak of n war of which no one can forosco tho ond or tho cost. This coun try does not hunker after any such in terfeionco us that. At tho samo tlmo u littlo moro spirit in our foreign policy might bring material advantages in its train. A display of force and n declara tion of principle might givo to tho Mon roe doctrino a practical vitality that would not bo lost upon Europo and might savo us hereafter from drifting into a war. How much of England's enormous foreign trndo sho owes to tlto ubiquitous appoaranco ot Britisli men-of-war it woro perhaps difficult to say. Bismarck evidently thinks tho guns helpod sell cotton sheetings tuft steel jack-knives. Contraal Amorlca would respect us more and might be moro uso fill as u customor if wo showed that her turmoils concerned us closoly. But Bayard must bo carotid not to tako tho wrong sldo nt tho start. Ho must bo particularly wary or rolylng ing upon tho steadfastness of Central Amoriean politicians. When Barrios first broached his schomo of a Contrul American confederacy Nicaragua was In favor of It. Slnco then the canal treaty has boon slgnod, and now Nicaragua doesn't wnfit to divide tlto prospective advantages of that treaty with her neighbors. Only a few months ngo San Salvudor was with Barrios. Now sho appeals to Mexico for protection against him, and romovos Batres, minister to Washington, because bo adhered to tho policy to which his government was plodgod in 188 1. Tbeso Central Ameri cans tiro small politicians swayed by considerations of narrow, temporary BolMntorcBt, It should not bo difficult for Bayard to ascertain what aro Bar Hfe MAIJL rios' chances of success, If ho Is likely to succeed, it- is unwise to mako an en emy of him. As to destroying autono mics in Central America, that is balder dash. There never word any autono mous states there, jn tho truo meaning of tho term, .and thcro is no reason why tho people of Han Salvador should not enjoy tho samo rights of solf-govcnncnt In n confederacy as they do in their pres ent isolated organism. Tho situation requires caution. Spirited action may work- well, but it cannot work If it is conceived In blundor. Wo want no American Jingoism. Chronicle. Labor Federation. A convention of representatives of la bor unions and other industrial organi zations has been held In San Francisco nnd has put forth a platform of princi ples aild programme of action. Measur ed by the intelligence of some of the men taking part in it, tho movement is of conBidcrnblo importance, but judged by the consistency of tho principles the convention has enunciated its legitimate hopes of success aro not great. Tho convention consisted of a mixture of ad vanced socialists, conservative grangers, and matter-of-fact trades-unionists, nnd tha construction ol n platform upon which they all can stand was thought necessary, because tho principal object of tho movement is n grand federation of tho labor organizations of the Pacific coast. Rut it was not an easy task, and it is an open question whether there arc not in tho declarations put forth a suffi cient numlor of causes of disagreement to balk tho effort to bring tho several la bor and prdtective organizations referred to into the fold of a common organiza tion. For example, the opening resolu tion deciars that hard times "are tho re sult of n monopolization by non-producers of tho natural resources, tho tools of production, and the medium oi exchango, and must occur periodically until these monopolies aro abolished." This presents tho views of tlto ordinary "anti-monopolist," wIiobo remedy gen erally is simply a destruction of the alleged monopoly and the substitution of freer competition. But another reso lution distinctly specifies "competition" as ono of the causes that "arc fast reduc ing tho working classes to absolute slav ory." This is the theory of socialism, which holds that competition is the worst of all tho evils from which tho workingman suffers. Another resolu tion announces that this convention "regards tho nationalization of land, of tho means of transportation,, of tho cir culating medium and of tho implements of production as the only satisfactory so lution of tho labor question." This is full-blown socialism, and, if its import is understood, it is not to be believed that all tho labor organizations of the coast can bo united on such n basis. Thcro aro thousands of workingmen be longing to labor unions in San Francisco who regard them as excellent devices for mutual protection, and yet who are not prepared to indorse a programmo for tho abolition of private projerty and the subversion of tho most important existing institutions of society. But it the ordinary trades-unionist is not pre pared to como up to tho support of tho socialist standard, still less is it to be credited that the grangers, who are em braced in the scope of this movement, will concur. Tho-grangers of California are land-owners, somo of them having thousands of acres of fertilo soil, and thoy will not indorse any projosition for the nationalization of land, either as n present or ultimate remedy for the trou bles of tho times. In still another part of this chaotic assemblugo of principles, "tho continued invention of machinery" is mentioned, alone with comtetition, as a causo of debasement of tho working classes. But tho grangers havo profited by tho invention of labor-savinis machin ery, and expect to profit by it in tho fu ture, too nut en to join a crusauo lor its abolishment or discouragement; while among tho other classes who are invited to como into this movement there nro Bomo trades which owe their very exist ence to tho invention of machinery. Take it till in all, tho way to tho organi zation ot all tlto elements proposed into this trade federation is not clear. S. F. Alta. The Chinese Curse. Tho fears of tho most pronounced alarmist In regard to Chiiicso immigra tion to America havo not been exagger ated, judging from tho following extract from an interview of a corrospondout of tho St. Louis Giobo Democrat, in tho city of Hongkong, China, with tho Catholic -bishop of Raymond!, who has been 26 years in tho east, nnd is now styled bishop of Acanthonnd vicarapos- tollc of Hongkong, and Is said to bo real ly at tho head of tlto Catholic propaganda in tho Chlncso empire, and tho reposi tory of all its business knowlego and Its secrets, nnd Is well known in tho United States, having spent some months hero in 1881, dividing bis tlmo botweon Now York and San Francisco. Tho ontlro ac count which Bishop Raymondl gives of Chinese missions is very interesting, but spaco obliges us to confine our extracts to bis practical opinion in roforonco to tho attempted exclusion of Ohineso Im migration to European countries, and tho results of such raids upon Asian communities: "Perhaps," suggested tho reporter, "looking nt tho mattor from a religious or occlosiustlcal standpoint, you havo been surprised that tho United States attempt to rigidly exclude tho Chineso ?" "I. am not at ull surprised, " replied tho bishop, "that thoy havo dono it, but NO. 14 I havo nomotimes wondered that thoy did not do It before. Competition is im possible with them, cither in labor or in trade. When I camo to Hongkong 20 years ngo thcro wero a great many for eign firms hero doing n prosperous mer cantile business. Only two or tbrco are left besides thoso engagcd.dn shipping. Of the American firms not one is loft. At Canton tlto trndo has nil gono into Chinese hands. All tho flour that comes lo this part of China from California is handled by Chineso merchants. How is it possible that foreigners can compete with them when their mode of life is so different? Tho foreign trader must have a place of business for which ho pays several hundred dollars rent per month. The Chinaman is content with a storo for which ho pays $10 per month. Where tho foreign merchant pays $100 per month to his clerks, his Chineso com petitor pays $10. Tho Chinaman gives no parties, is satisfied with coarse clothes and plain food ; therefore small profits suffice him and ho is able to sell his goods often 40 and 50 per- cent, less than his European rival in tho next block. No civilizing merchant can sur vive sucli competition excopifor a lim ited time. Tito mistako lias, been in employing compradorcs, the. natives who represent tho individualjpr firm in its relations to their own ppqplc. They learn the business and soon set up in opposition.' No matter bow. nuch the firm may loso, they always make money. When Dent & Co. tailed, their compra dore purchased a whole street. What might havo happened to California, ex cept for the restriction act, is happening to Hongkong, and has already happen ed to Tonquin, Anam, Cochin China, Slam, Singapore, Manila, Borneo, Java, Mongolia, Mantchuira and Thibet. They have all been overrun by the hoidcs who havo swarmed out of China, north, south, east and west, and filled every avenue of labor and business, to the ex clusion and destruction of tho native populations. Then tho moral aspect of tho question cannot be disregarded. Children snould not bo intrusted to Chinese nurses and servants, for they aro certain to imbibe ideas and acquire habits that will ruin them as they grow larger'. America is fortunate in stopping the immigration of Chinese in-time. "' GENERAL GRANT. Death being Hastened by Worry over the Grant & Ward Failure. New Yomc, March 22. Grantls read ing moro about the trial of James D. Fish than anybody can who relics on tho published reports, for the' newspa pers squeeze each day's proceedings in to a quarter to a half column, while he gets a stenographic verbatim report This is provided to him, on hiq urgent request, by order of Judge Benedict, who is presiding in the United States court whero Grant & Ward's silent partner is being tried for violation of the banking laws. Short-hand notes, of the testimony are taken to tho general's house every evening and read to him. It was through Fish's connection with the swindle that Grant was drawn into it. He was president of a leading bank of reputed solidity and possessed con siderable wealth. Therefore, w hen ho seemed to trust young Ward implicitly Grant blindly followed his example. To this day Grant is not clear in bis mind whether Fish was Ward's confederate or victim, and ho is a self-constituted jury, determined to convict or acquit tho prisoner on tho evidence. Gen. Grant's inability to gleep comes not so much from tho condition of his body as from unrest of mind. Ho has it firmly rooted that ho is going out in disgraco and under n cloud, and all that his friends can say to him in no wiso changes this belief. He talks very free ly with certain of his intimates on tho subject, and ho tells them of his mor tification and chagrin that bo should havo been duped by Ward, and that so many persons should havo lost money by lfim. Ho tolls his dearest friends that tho responsibility of battle and of leading tho armies of tlto nation gavo no such concern as has this Ward business that his rest in tlto wtiito house in tho critical period whon tho country was re covering from-the effects of civil war was sweet compared to the rest that has como to him in tho last niuo mpntbs. Ho had hoped that fortuno might in somo mannor Binilo on him, so ho might return to thoso who havo lost tho monoy thus wasted. Ho would write, ho would work, he would do anything to rcmovo this stain from tho family ; nut ho was attacked by a diseaso that must prove fatal, and Boon ho becamo too weak nnd too sick to stir out of tho house. So ho silontly and grimly, and without a word of complaint, keeps to his couch and to bis easy chair and thinks. Ho knows that ho must dio soon, aud ho is op pressed with a fear tluit be is in disgrace hecauso of tho falbjro ot tho firm of Grant Ward, through tho dishonesty of ono of tho partners.
