In a discussion in the San Fran
cisco chamber of commerce last
week the fact was developed that
there is not entire unanimity OF
opinion as to the advisability OF
adopting strong restrictive meas
ures to break up the adulteration
Of food. Those opposed to endors-
ing a proposition emanating from
the National board Of trade urged
as a reason for their hostility that
such measures are calculated to re-
press the export trade. 1t will
strike the average observer that
unless something is soon done tC
break up the fraudulent practice
of adulterating food, that there
will not be much of a demand
abroad for American products
1t will be far better to repress our
exporters a little than to lose our
foreign trade entirely.

A Strike Impending.

Old gentleman Bannister has re-
turned from Kentucky-satis6ed
with Oregon. He could have re-
manned there well enough, but
feeling to return to Astoria has
been gratifed. He brings US some
startling statistics of the whisky
business in Kentucky. Just to
show the boys who take ''an oc-
casional nip" what extensive pre-
parations are making to give
them work to do in the take sum-
thin line, we will state an in
stance; that of a firm which is now
preparing to make a barrel of
slicker" a minute! Fourteen hun
dred and forty barrels a day!.
Five hundred and twenty-five
thousand six hundred barrels a
year!!!! This is only one estab-
lishment. Now suppose there are
twenty-nine other establishments
that do equally as large a business;
the grand total Of Kentucky whis-
ky to be got away with annually
reaches the enormous sum Of four
hundred and seventy-three mil
lions and forty thousand gallons!!!!
Is MT that sufficient to appal the
mind of the man who has an idea
that he can "get away with the
Ticker" by drinking it all up? Con
sidering that the factories have
got the drop on the business it is
time for consumers to strike, and a
strike of mighty force is impend-
ing.

ANY westerner who has had eX-

Notwithstanding the efforts OF
the German government, the emil
grafton from Germany to this
country is enormously on the in
crease. Whole villages in Posen,
Schleswig and Prussia proper are
being depopulated, and the au-
thorities are seriously alarmed.
An indication of their alarm was
given recently in their refusing a
gentleman permission TO lecture at
Berlin on the advantages Of emf
grafton.

The amount contributed by Cali

regard to politics, have assisted in
the good work, many of the Offices

The Roseburg Plaindealer is in
formed that efforts are being made
by two different parties to purchase
the franchise of the Umpqua and
Coos bay railroad. A number OF
the stockholders are perfectly will
ing to surrender all their rights,
"without money and without
price," to any responsible parties
who will push the road forward to
a speedy completion. There is nc
doubt that a connection will be
made with the coast from Rose
burg, and that az an early day.

OF all the inspired barbarians
who have left a permanent mark
upon the pages of modern history
two Russians, Peter the Great and
Gen. Suvaroff, are probably the
greatest and certainly the most
remarkable. Peter especially, not
merely through the eccentricities
ofhis personal character, but more
emphatically because he was a re-
former and constructor, as well as a
violent and headstrong tyrant, has
bequeathed his memory to his
countrymen as a legacy forever.

"It's an i'll wind that blows no.
body good" is a well known axiom,
which was verified lately in
somewhat peculiar manner in the
Philippine islands. In a recent
number of the Swiss Times, we
read a remarkable account of the
successful recovery OF a cargo
which had been under twelve
fathoms Of water for over four
years, and was again brought with
in mans reach by the late terrible
earthquake at Manila. Four years
ago the frst-class iron vessel
Rhoodee, of 1000 tons register,
was scuttled in Manila bay, she
having caught fire when on the
point of sailing with full and
valuable cargo of hemp, pearl shell,
gum copal, bar copper, etc. Dur
ing the recent earthquake she was
thrown up by a tidal wave, from
where she lay in twelve fathoms of
water to close in shore in two or
three fathoms, and was then pur-
chased by an enterprising diving
and salvage company, just started
in Singapore, for the trifing sum
970, and it now appears that her
cargo has not suffered from her
long submersion, and is valued at
about 100000 by manifest.

TIE SPIRIT vs.. TIE IrrrsR.

We are sorry it is SO, but that it is fact
there is not the least doubt, that the act, OF
large number Of the ultra temperance men
of this city do not compOrt with their pro-
fessions or expressed sentiments. They are
eloquent in their advocacy of the dry letter
of the law, but seem 10 live as though the
spirit Of the law meant beer, wine and whis-
Ky for themselves. Severa! OF the stauncbest
advocates Of prohibition confess to supply
! Of liquors at home FOR family use. This state
OF facts are very demoralizing. One man in
this country is just as good and just rs free
as another, although he may not have as
much money or live in as fine a house. Such
. course by such men tends TO a contempt
for the law by those who cannot afford to
evade ii by laying in a supply Of liquors in
their cellars. II the use of liquors is wrong
It is just rs wrong out Of the neck Of pri-
waite bottle ut the side board ut home, rs out
Of a cut glass tumbler over bar, or behind
a drug store prescription ease. II takes a
good deal Of cheek TO denouucc the purchase
or sale OF liquor on the sly, and to go straight
home and take swig of the same fluid on
the sly Ii the dry letter of the law means
prohibition. the spirit of the law cannot
mean beer tor family use, n many proies>ed
temperance men seem to think.

and who handles various fruit cyapcrator,
and machinery for preserving fruits, came
into our State the other day, and hearing
that man in Sedawick county had one hun
dred and sixty acres in fruit trees, came
down to see for himself. He spent one day
at the McCrackrn fruit farm, and he -ays he
never saw anything Ike it. No such viii
dern,>> Of friit can be found in any State,
H. j. satisfied. He says the a.o,t astonishing
IA ns 10 him Is the growth OF the frees. But
for the assurance Of Mr.. Mccrackca. aud
Others who know, he would not believe that
the trees on that farm had been set out for a
shorter period than twenty years, while in
fact the oldest trees have only been out from
six TO eight years. Mr.. Bradley says we haze
