In answer to the charges being
made right and left against the Re.
publican Congressional campaign
committee for their assessments on
Government Office holders, Republi-
can partisans say: Oh, we'll, if the
Democrats were in power they would
do the same. In answer to this, the
record shows that when the Demo-
Gratis came into power some six or
eight years ago in the House, and
some over Jealous partisan proposed
to fight the devil with fire and levy
assessments upon all officers and
employees of the House to meet the
fund raised by the Republican
committee off the office holders.
the Democratic caucus Indignantly
spurned the suggestion and refused
to resort to such base means to gain
or retain political power. That is
an all sufficient answer, and guide
to honest men where to turn to find
a party which will not stoop to the
baseness now being practiced by a
Congressional committee composed
of leading Republican members of
Congress.

TIE CHEHALIs COUNTRY. AstO-
rian thus alludes to our sister coun.
try on the north: The Chehalis river
has been navigated by steamer (the
ChehalisJ for a distance of one hun
dred miles or more. The tide flows
up the river for distance of fifteen
or twenty miles, which, of course,
renders navigation good for that
distance. It is less than two miles
from Chehalis station of the N. P. r.
r. line from Tacoma to Kalama, to
the Chehalis river at a point navigable
for light-draft steamers, during six
or eight months Of the year. The
outlet of this river is Gray's Harbor,
which indents the coast some twenty
miles north of Shoalwater Bay. From
the extreme headwaters of this
stream to where it reaches the ocean
at the entrance to Gray's Harbor is
not less, following the river, than
one hundred and fifty miles through
a valley of good agricultural and
grazing lands. On the lower river
are several trading places. Elma is
quite a village, containing two stores,
q postofice, blacksmith shop, school
house, church, etc., etc. Montesano,

The GREAT WALL OF CMNA.-An
American engineer who, being en-
gagged in the construction of a rail-
way in China, has had unusually
fav orable opportunities of examining
the famous GREET Wall built to OBJ.
struct the incursions of the Tartars,
gives the following account of this
wonderful work. The wall is 1,27S
miles long, Is #. wide, and Is #.
thick on tue top. The foundation
throughout is of solid granite, the
remainder of compact masonry. AT
intervals of between two and three
hundred yards, towers rise up, 25 to
30 feet high, and "a #. in diameter.
On the top of the wall, and on both
sides of it are masonry parapets, to
enable the defenders to pass unseen
from one tower to another. The
wall itself is carried from point to
point in perfectly straight line,
across valleys and plains anu over
hills, without the slightest regard to
the confSuration of the ground,
sometimes plunging down into abys-
SEES Thousand feet deep. Brooks
and rivers are bridged over by the
wall, while on both banks of the
larger streams strong Aanking towers
are placed.

Fort Vancouver with fresh d amands
and moved downwards with ae Star

survey.
Inc .StarliaJ being again CON-
plete, We dropped down to Bakers
Bay taking leave OF our friend Mr..
BRINE in charge of Fort George, who
mad been unremitting in hi. atten.
lions. On the morning of the 18th.
September, wequitted Bakers Bay
with light breeZ5s, but, owing to the,
peculiarly of the currents, did not
clear the heads until the wind failed,
compelling us to anchor. Before
the tide had done, the sea- breeze
came on strong; very fortunately, I
had taken the precaution t. r.et and
be in condition to beat GU t, and had
just completed when the strength of
the breeze parted our cable. Sail
was made in time to tack short of the
dangers. and as the opposite course
led to sea, l was heartily glad after
this second escape, to leave the
anchor and get clear of this disaster
Gus port. Any attempt to recover
the anchor would have proved futile
and probably resulted in losing the
only one remaining, with imminent
risk to the ship. The Starting at
the instant met with a similar &C.
cident. losing also her last anchor
but one. Heartily sick of this nest
of dangers, we took our final look at
Cape Disappointment and shaped
course for Bodega."
The instructions of the British
Government in fitting out this sur.
veying expedition clearly fore
Swallowed the British programme of
acquiring Oregon by acts of occu-
pancy. 1t is evident that the territory
north of the Columbia was deemed
as British soil. In the Fall of 1889,

A CONFIDENCE GAME.-It must be
that people are degenerating. In
the olden time, it is related that
SOMEBODY, who understood human
nature as it then existed, went upon
the streets and exposed a handful of
golden ducats which be offered to
sell for penny each, but found no
buyers. The people very probably
regarded him more as a knave than
fool, which suggested the likelihood
that they would be swindled, even
at the ridiculously low ratio of ex-
change that was demanded. But
times have changed. The other
evening a deft-fngered individual
made his appearance in this place,
and proposed to sell greenbacks Of
various denominations at SO cents each
or three for a dollar, and found many
purchasers. Or to state the transac
ton more clearly, he sold diminutive
pieces of soap, which is a legal trans
acilon, if the price may be hundred
times it's marketable value. This is
to give the little game the semblance
of lawful business. But the pur-
chaser is gravely assured that there
is possibility of obtaining a green :
back of large or small value, with
each piece of soap, mode of deal
ing which is not sanctioned by law,
but on the contrary, is specially pro-
hibited. 1t is surprising with whal
cvidity people invested in this trans
parent fraud. The half dollars
rolled in a continuous stream to the
pocket of this voluble-tongued,
clever-6ngered speculator upon the
credulity of his fellow man, while an
occasional greenback found its way
to real or fictitious purchaser,
merely as bait for suckers and means
Of infusins new life into the game.
These frauds are becoming alto
gether too common. They should
not be tolerated. We have IL strin-
gent gambling law on our statute
books, and such corrupters of public
morals should not be allowed to ply
their vocation where the young, as
wellas those who should know better,
are alike subjected to its influence.
