SslIssE the doxn-Souni mail At an
earlier hour on Sundays, and at his
Suggestion a petition, signed by the
business men, was secured. request
ing the exercise Of this perogatve,
and the mail had been carried ever
since under that arrangement, APP
parently to the satisfaction of every
\ body.
II there is dissatisfaction now, the
fault is not attributable to the con-
tractor. He performs the service by
the mode, in the manner and within
the schedule time prescribed by the
contract. and this is all anybody has
any right to exact. If the contract
or chose to afford better means of
transportation than the law and reg
ulation required, and better than the
local trade justified. he was entitled
to the thanks of the community and
should have received the cordial aid
of everybody interested in the pro-
gress and prosperity of the town.
Failing to receive it, who should
grumble if the cost is reduced to the
lowest possible figure? And if a
community chooses to make war up
on those capable of aiding them,
must they not accept the conse-
quences of such folly?' It may not
be that the com munity has done
this, but that it has been drawn
into position of apparent hostility
to Capt. Starr, is too apparent
for denial. The Messenger had
scarcely turned a wheel, before she
illustrated the fable of the conflict
between the mouse and the giraffe.
As long as the pockets of her stock
holders could stand it, and the strug-
gle affected nobody else, we had
nothing to say; but when many of
our citizens became runners for the
Messenger, simply because she was
an "Olympia boat" and thousands
of dollars were carried monthly to
Seattle to purchase the necessaries
of life, simply to make business for
fhe new boat, We warned the people
against the inevitable result. It re-
quired but word from the owner of
the mail steamers to place us in po-
sition of dependence from which
there may be no relief for months
md even years.
1t is useless to attempt to disguise
The fact, that the semi weekly visits
Of either of the larger steamers was

The theory of those well acquainted with

FALLING OFF IN EMIGRATION.

There were landed at Castle Garden yes.
terday 349 emigrants from the steamships
Baltic, City Of Berlin and Donau. The ma.
jority Of the number were poorly provided
with clothing and almost destitute Of money,
rather poor outlook to start life with
among strange people. Some interesting
statistics regarding the falling off in emiRra.
tion this year, as compared with 1876, have
been compiled by landing agent Moore.
Up to November ! there landed at this
port last year 81 $40 persons seeking new
homes in this country, while for 1877, to
the came date, only 56,o35 are booked.
This would leave difference of 1854 in
favor of 1876. The largest number Of emf.
grants ever landed at New York came by
the National line s.teamer Egypt, May 1872
there being 1896 in the lot. The same ves.
eel, in 1879, brought over 1.547. The lar
gest number ever landed in one day At Cas-.
tie Garden reaches the respectable figures Of
1852, May, 1873.

GERALD STRONG ALIAS FRANK RANpE.

There are number of circumstances which
seem to indicate that the proper name Of
Frank Rande, the murderer Of Officer White.
is Gerald Strong, and his home until few
years back, was in Canton, Ill.
II this superstition is correct Rande is the
son Of DR.. Strong, prominent physician Of
Canton. Several years ago the young man
went to Dubuque and Represented himself
as brother of Mark Twain. He billed
Marx Twain for lecture in DUBUQUE, and
personated the brother of the noted humor
ist 30 we'll that nobody suspected the fraud
until the young man had decamped with
the door money. He was pursued by De.
putty U. g. Marshal Shattuck, of Dubuque
and captured not far from Galeua, ILL.,, al
the home of his wife, whom he had married
but few days before. When taken back
to Dubuque he gave his name as Strong,
and with the proceeds of his bogus lecture
increased bv silver watch and seal ring,
he employed Delos Lyon, prominent law
yer Of Dubuque, to defend him. Strong 90,
clear, and with his wife Immediately left
the city. That night telegram was re
ceived from Mark Twain, offering $500 re.
ward for the capture Of the impostor. De
putty Sheriff Salot started in pursuit o.
Strong, and followed him to Canton, where
he succeeded in making his escape through
the aid of brother. Mr.. Salot learned
that Strong had been twice imprisoned in
the penitentiary at Joliet. His first offense
was stealing horse and buggy. He hired
the rig from livery stable in some town
near Canton and drove to Roodhouse, where
he sold it. He was captured in southeast
Missouri. taken back, tried, convicted and
sentenced to one years imprisonment in the
penitentiary. DR.. Strong, father Of the
young culprit, succeeded in obtaining par.
don for him at the end of three months and
he was released, but in less than six months
was back in the penitentiary for the same
ofense. This time he served out his term
Of twelve months and after his release en-.
gagged in railroading. But as young Strong
once remarked: "The d.! owned him
from his BIRTH" and if he and Frank Rande
are the same, the devil is likely to get his
property before long.

SENATOR pAr1eesoSs POSITION
A correspondent of the Chicago Inte
Ocean Hrites n follows from W.shinator

A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean writes - follows from Washington:
Patterson, in an interview with your cor
respondent, explained that he had agreed
early last spring to vote for Buffers admis-
sion had published letter stating that he
should vote, and that every senator on the
floor ought to have known it from the free
dom with which he had announced his in.
tention; that there was no cause for sur.
prise. He stated positively that there was
no bargain about It. No one had agreed
that the suits against him should be sur
pressed, and he had never asked any one to
make such an agreement. He knew his
action would be approved by the people Of
South Carolina, and as President Hayes had
made it impossible for him to live there
without his doing something 10 conciliate
the democratic whom the president was con.
ciliating, he did not know as his action was
any more betrayal of the republican party
than the action of the president. Hayes had
given South Carolina democratic governor,
and he intended to vote in favor Of giving
them senator. If Hampton was entitled
to be governor, Butler was entitled to seat
in the senate. He should act with the re-
publicans on every question except those in
volving Buffers admission. He should
vote for Kellogg's admission, and, had his
advice been accepted, Kellogg would be in
. seat to day, and the democrats would have
one less majority. He had told Wadleigh,
Mitchell, Don Cameron, and Others, that The
democrats would spring Buffers case, and
catch them in trap, if they did not hurry
Kelloggs case out Of the committee of priv.
ileges and elections, but they paid no atten.
ton to his warnings, and then he was blamed
for the situation the republicans found them.
