Astoria.

The Actorian complains bitterly of
the number of brothels that are be-
ing started in that place, and very
properly urges business men to build
dwelling houses and places for re-
spectacle business. Such advice is
very good, but will avail little while
a large class of the population is made
up of the rough floating elements,
whose presence is always the signal
for the vultures of vice to descend.
Music begins a. four o'clock A. NJ,
along Astoria wharves, and closes
with the last toot for Fort Candy and
Ilwaco at s o'clock. Seventeen ves-
sells, large, medium and small sized,
propelled wholly or in part by steam,
leave our dock daily, and return.

The poorest girls in the world are
those who have never b zen taught to
work. There are thou sands of them.
Rich parents have pett ii them; they
have been taught to despise labor and
depend upon others for living, and
are perfectly helpless. The most for
lorn woman on earth belongs TO this
class. 1t belongs to parents to protect
their daughters from this deplorable
condition. They do them a great
wrong if they neglectit. Every daugh-
ter should be taught to earn her own
living. The rich as we'll as the poor
require this training. The wheel of
fortune rolls swiftly round-the rich
are likely to become poor, and the
poor rich. Skill to labor is no disad-
vantage to the rich, and is indispensable
to the poor. Well-to-do parents
must educate their daughters to
work; no reform is more imperative
than this.

BUCHAREST, May 19.-In the Tur-
kish village of Turtukai there is quite
a christian element, though subordi
nate in number to the Turks. On the
10th the latter made an attack upon
the Christians. The meles were put
to the sword. Many of the elder wo-
men shared the same fate and the
younger were brutally outraged. The
cries of the victims were distinctly
heard by the outposts of the Rouman-
ian army, and the report is further
ccrroborated by two Bulgarians who
escaped the slaughter.

OF strangers who are anxious to see the

nothing else, that the weather will at
least be clement enough to allow
everything to pass of nicely. With
out exaggeration, the display to-
day and tonight win exceed in

in the South before. Our hotels are

This morning more will be added to

"The general idea has obtained within
o day or two past, that the secretary
Of state had been directed to work out
and define the line of policy to be fol-
lowed by the Louisiana commission,
in their investigation OF matters in
that State. This, however, is not the
case. The matter has been fully dis.
cussed by the president and the com
missioners, and the subject has been
under consideration at every cabinet
meeting oflate. 1t should be under
stood that this commission goes to
Louisiana, not to take action In the
premises, but simply to ascertain all
the facts concerning the difficulties ex-
listing, and to consult with both the
Nichols sand Packards factions, and
to receive and make any suggestions
that may tend to bring about the
peaceful solution so much desired.
They are not even regarded as official
commissioners, but simply friends OF

JOHN M. MOREY.


what Thesc who Knew Vim Hest.
Thought OF HIM.
At an adjourned meeting OF the cot
ton buyers Of Dallas, largely attended,
the following tribute and resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Committees REPORT.
Your committee appointed to draft
some suitable expression of the feel
ings Of the cotton buyers Of Dallas In
memory OF their late brother. John M.
Mercy, have herein attempted the sad
duty assigned them.
II we were able to clothe In language
simply our feelings on this occasion,
the tribute would be more worthy of
the subject; what we may fail to say,
will be made good by our memory.
When we all marched In body to
his final resting place, We bade fare
well to u true, genial, fair-minded
gentleman, one who In all his obliga-
tions and negotiations was az .exacting
to himself as to Others. Had he been
called from us by.duty, to another
earthly field, we would have missed
and regretted an absent companion
but, when he suddenly leaves us for
ever, than we realize how essential he
had made himself in business and
social point
Quiet in demeanor, In charity he
was active. Since his death, II be-
comes known that his purse was often
and literally opened to those who
needed 1t. These little acts are spoken
OF by Others after he Is gone. but were
never mentioned by himself.
Let US be grateful for his memory,
a. life has much In II not to be COM
manded, and II Is through such char
acters as our brother Morey that we
realize what 10 best in lite, and what
Ii BELTS ourselves most TO emulate.
BE IL resolved, That In the death of
John M Morey, we have lost genial
associate and friend, whose place IL
will be difficult to fill, and whose
memory shall be to us even as was
his life-a symbol OF all that is honor
able, square and fair minded, In the
dealings of man with man.
That we tender our truest and deep
est sympathy to the wife who mourns
because he Is not.
Resoired, That copy Of these pro-
ceedIngs be presented to the widow OF
our late brother and that the city pa
pers DO requested TO publish the same.
