The internal revenue derived from whisky, tobacco and oleomargarine, amounted to S13O, ,OO0, ,000 from June 30, 1888, to June 30, 1889, an in- crease of five millions, over the pre- vious year. Should the coming Re- publican Congress strike off all this revenne, or part thereof, it would necessite an increase of tariff taxes, on articles of necessity as well as on luXuries.

We see from the Nashville News of recent date that it is given out that the sore-head Democrats, backed up by the Union Labor men and the Republicans, have concocted the scheme of making Bro. Mitchell, of the Arkansas Democrat, as their candidate for Governor next year. There certainly must be some mis- take about thls, as we believe Bro. Mitchell is sound Democrat, and would scorn to be the tool of any such combination to overthrow the grand old party of equal rights. He is not built that way.

THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH.

A county election was held in No- vember in the county containing To- peka, the capital of Kansas. It is very strong Republican county, and no white Republican can be found there who does not deem it great outrage that negroes do not monopo- lizc most of the public offices in the Southern States. But the Kansas negro appears less qualified for pub lie station than his Southern broth CT. At least, if actions speak louder than words, that is the Kan sas white Republican verdict, as shown in the vote received by one Brown, the Republican colored nom inee for clerk of the Capital county. The facts concerning this election are thus related by the American Citizen, journal owned and con- ducted by colored men in Kansas City, just over the border. We quote: ::
 Four thousand two hundred and eighty represesents the total vote cast for the Re- publican ticket, and 2,329 represents the highest majority. The total vote for MT. Brown was 2,OO6, and his plurality was 3i5, showing that 2,2S0 Republicans either scratched him or voted against him. The Republican ticket received 69 per cent. of the total vote cast, but Mir. Brown received only 32 per cent of the Republican vote. According to the Capital and the Republl- can speakers before the election, the colored vote in the county is HOO. This vote was, without question, cast solidly for Mr. Brown and the whole ticket. Deducting the col ored vote, B per cent, from the total vote cast for Mir. Brown, we have the astounding result of F per cent cast by the white Re- publicans.
 A letter to the Citizen from Topeka contains the statement that "the color line was tightly drawn, and white Republicans made no bones in saving that they would not vote for a nigger under any circumstances.
 The Citizen finds in the incident ''in- disputable evidence of the duplicity and treachery of the great mass Of white Republicans toward the negro, regardless of section or locality, and it concludes that "the sooner the fact is learned by the people, the better it will be for them -
 This is Republican testimony, and not charge made by Democrats, to be met by mere denial. The election totals tell the story. In the North the negro finds no political place, eN' cept as Republican voter. He IS regarded fit for public office only in the South. 'Is it strange, asks the New York Evening Post, in comment on the Citizens charge, 'that white Democrats at the South should feel a similar prejudice and make effec- tive protests against allowing thelr States to be ruled by the race! 1t IS plain enough that, if Topeka had been suddenly invaded by force of ignorant black iield-hands from Mississippi, large enough to out-vote the whites in fair election, the whites of Topeka would have found some way to prevent this majority from ruling the city. The idea that the people of Mississippi will endure or can be made to endure what the people of Kansas would revolt against is too absurd for discussion. '- Ar kansas Gazette.

Was Here FOrty-Five Years Ago.

Let me introduce to you former
resident" said Jas. W. Welch yester
day morning as he entered The AsTo
R1AN Office with very large specimen
of manhood. whom he introduced as
David Crawford, of Altoona, Penn.
Mr.. Crawford may be reckoned as
one Of the old timers. He was here
in 1874, built a house with Smith on
Smiths Point, lived on Clatsop plains
and in 1916 went over the river and
lived on the head waters of the Che
halls.
But it was too lonesome there
said he, and went back up to the
Willamette valley"
He is veteran of the war of '47-'48,
was in California, in "the days of old,
the days of gold, the days of 49," and
for ten years after dwelt in Oregon.
In 1859 he sold his farm and for the
last 30 years has been living in Penn
sylvania.
He views Astoria and vicinity with
considerable interest He goes to-day
to Clatsop to see Mr.. Morrison, Mr..
Eberman and other old acquaintance
i'll that section.

AN IMPORTANT TOPIC.
Discussed on the Street This Week.
What Some People Say and Others Think

In the article on the railroad situa-
ton published in yesterdays paper
prominent mention was made of a
prominent contract which was prom
nent topic on the street. The con-
tract was to have been signed yester-
day, but some preliminaries and con-
cessions, some compromises and
details had not been fully settled, so
that the contract yet remains unsigned.
This contract is about as important
a matter to Astoria, Astorians, Clat-
sop county and northwestern Oregon
as anything that has transpired for
the last ten years, and it is for that
reason that The Historian has so
much to say aboutit. It is of so much
Importance that it justiies discussion
Of it.
Everything in the world that''a good
many of US have, the writer included,
is in Astoria, or close by, and this
railroad matter is as intimately con-
nected with our prosperity as any
thing we know of.
Another thing has beenItalked about
a good deal on the etreet during the
past week, and it is this: when Col.
Taylor made that conditional PROPOSE
ton five weeks ago, about the 5000
feet water frontage, contingent upon
another, additional 100000 being
raised, that amount was pledged on
sundry subscription lists, circulated by
Q. w. Fulton, DIR. ALI. Kinney, B. Van
Dusen and one or two more, but many
Including some of the largest signers)
of those who signed, now hold that
that doesn't constitute O subscription
till they signed on the regular stock
books Of the company, and decline to
so sign till they see Developments"
SO far, this contract comprises all
the Developments" so that anyone
OF those who signed for any part of
that 100000 land on that the whole
thing rests) who ask for develop
ments" simply ask for a knowledge of
that contract.
They claim that it is their right or
privilege to know what is going on"
and they claim that they don't ask
out of curiosity, but because they are
interested, and want to know what
disposition is to be made of their
money.
The Historian modestly expresses
it as its opinion that it would have been
better to have secured the 100000 on
the stock books of the company be-
fore all this talk and outside negotia-
ton began, but now that things are
as they are, perhaps it would be
well to have general knowledge of
the provisions of this contract, which
though as yet unsigned, is reported to
be the basis of arrangement between
the Astoria and South Coast Railway
Co. and the parties of the second
part.
Nothing less or else will satisfy some
who have not yet signed on the stock
books the amount they signed on the
subscription paper, but whose sigma
lures seem necessary to the success of |
the scheme.
In the discussion of this matter
which so ultimately concerns our mu-
tual prosperity The Historian has no |
desire to be inquisitive or interfering, |
but as public journal discusses live
topics of the hour and voices what is |
in the minds and on the tongues of |
men.

Epoch.

The transition from long, lingering
and painful sickness to robust health
marks an epoch in the life of the indi-
vidual. Such q remarkable event is
treasured in the memory and the agency
whereby the good health has been at
tanned is gratefully blessed. Hence it is
that SO much is heard in praise of Elec-
tric Bitters. So many feel they owe
their restoration to health to the use of
the Great Alternative and Tonic. If you
are troubled with any disease of the
Kidneys, Liver or Stomach, of long or
short standing you will surely find re-
lief by use of Electric BitterS. Sold at

FROM THE LAND OFFICE.
Publication Of Proof.-Where Premature
Notice Was Printed.

The following circular letter. which
is of great Importance to timber land
claimants, addressed to the register
and receiver, was received at the local
land office yesterday morning:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
GENERAL LAND OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, D. c., June g.
Register and Receiver, Seattle, w. 7. i:
GENTLEMEN:-I would call your at
tention to paragraph 10 of the timber
and stone circular dated May q, 1887,
which provides that ''the published
notice required by the third section of
the act must state the time and place
when, and name the officer before
whom the party intends to offer proof,
which must be after the expiration of
the sixty days of publication, and
before ninety days from the
date of the published notice.
Where proof is not made before the
expiration of said ninety days the
register and receiver will cancel the
filing upon their records and notify
this Office accordingly, as prescribed
by instructions of circular of May 1,
1888, [Copp's Land Owner, Vol. z,
p. 52]. You will observe that no no,
tice of final proof can be published
more than ninety days before the tax
ing of the final proof. In all cases
where final proof notice is now being
published, and the day set for taking
the proof is more than ninety days
after the date of publication, you will
discontinue such publications, and
when the final proof is taken it must
be preceded by notice only published
in accordance with said paragraph 10.
All notices prematurely published
will be totally disregarded and
whenever proof is taken in
such cases you must pro-
ceed in the same manner as you
would in cases where no publication
had been made, under the timber and
stone circular,
In cases where your predecessor
the register has authorized the pre-
mature publication of notice, the
party claimants, if innocent of any
collusion with him, may resort to the
local courts for redress for whatever
damage may accrue to them by rea-
son of the extra expense OF pubGca-
tion, as against said register. OF this
however, they should seek advice of
local counsel. Respectfully,
w. NJ. STONE.
Acting Commissioner.
