rmjBt ai ,51 it Vol. xvi. Astoria, Oregon, Tuesday Morning, February 14, 188! No. 114. lllpf IIiMlff & it IP Jv Ml !!' u THE PLOT THICKEK& The English journals were the first to commence the war -on Blaine. They dia not like the idea of the proposed congress of South "American Republics at Washington. The effect could not fail to be the weakening of European influence among them. Many American journals thought lessly fell into the sameline. But it is quite evident from Mr. Blaine's letter, published this morning, that attacks on that ground can do him no harm. Ho has the national . sentiment on his side. That is something which is apparently slumbering. But often it awakes with irresistible energy. In calm moments we may philosophize about spread-eagleism, or Jingo ism, or Chauvinism. But for all that it is a real .and formidable power. There are times when no body can joke about it. Probably thereis no man in America who understands this more thoroughly than Mr. Blaine. The late Ben jamin Disraeli was a professor of the art in England, and Gambetta, in France, is not ignorant of its canons. The attitude which Mr. Blaine assumes is" that, acting under the authority both of the late Presi dent Garfield and President Ar thur, ho had invited all the Ameri can Nations to meet at Washington in November next, to arrange some method of promoting peace among themselves. Even the Empire of Brazil was included "in the invita-. tion. Mr. Blaine has some histori cal facts at his hand which appear to justify the United States in tak ing the initiatory in the matter. By the 'intervention of its friendly offices war was recently prevented between .Chile and the7 Argentine Republic. Gautemala at this mo ment is relying upon the United States to save it from a compli a tiou with its, more powerful neigh bor, Mexico. Mr. Blaine, also, is dexterous enough to introduce a little matter of business into the controversy which never comes amiss, 'indeed The most exag gerated patriotism will always be found to havo a little of what may be called the "shop" in the -back ground. If Disraeli posed more " or less effectively about Russia, there was always behind some material advantage, in the shape of a slice of Afghanistan, the Is lund of Cyprus or the Transvaal Republic. In fact, advantage of one kind or another is the comple ment of the policy. Our tableaux of the oldest and youngest civiliza tions embraced Were attended with some dim notions of profit, not very accurately figured out, how ever. In the case under consideration Mr. Blaine adverts to the fact that in our intercourse with the other American nations there is a bal ance of trade of about $120,000, 000 annually against us. He points' out clearly enough the dangerous feature of that drain upon our re sources. A largo portion of the favorable balance in our dealings jvith Europe is absorbed by the adverse balance in this hemisphere. Mr. Blaine did not state that near ly $100,000,000 of that adverse balance goes to Brazil for cofr fee and .to Cuba for tobacco and sugar, leaving . only about $20,000,000 for the remaining governments. But taking the whole sum at the basis of his argu ment, he estimates, though vngue ly, that some commercial arrange- jnents might be made at the con vention in question, by which the heavy balance now against us might be reduced. In this way, in the controversy which is now -goingn.he makes- an effort to irrav on his side National patriot ism ingeniously compounded with trade advantages. The position into which he seeks to force the administration is that of a revers al of this somewhat dazzling pro "rammc by a weak subserviency to European sensibilities. That is pretty strong ground, if the Maine statesman can succeed in holding it. He dwells with more or less effect upon the fact that the Euro pean Governments get up these congresses, and never think of asking our leave, or inviting us to participate. The policy outlined by Blaine for the nations of this hemisphere is constantly pursued in Europe But there is a phase of the controversy which the Democrats have laid hold of which evidently had not before been considered. Springer has introduced a resolu tion in the House, calling for the facts, for the purpose of determin ing what authority the President has to invite conventions without the permission or direction of Congress. This seems to be a somewhat ticklish part of the busi ness. We are not able at this moment to point out the law which confers this power; neither can we lay our hands on any precedent. The most formidable position to be solved in this connection is as to what such an invitation implied? If nothing more than the privilege of coming to Washington, calling for what the delegates wanteJ and paying for it, almost any private citizen could have done as much as tho President. In the olden times objections might be raised to for eign governments holding a con vention on our soil without per mission. But modern practice is much more tolerant. Congresses of allt descriptions in which all nations are represented, are held everywhere without restrictions. It is not within the power of the President to grant a congress of the nations of America assembled in Washington the use of the pub lic hall, free of expense, without the consent of congress, and an appropriation from that body to pa' for the gas. But whatever tho outcome, we hope that our contemporaries who, under the impression that the thing to do was to pitch into Blaine, have recently been "going" for that statesman blindly, will have a safe deliverance. Many of them did not clearly know what the row was about, as they mixed up the Peruvian nitre beds "and the congress of the South Ameri can Republics in hopeless confu sion. Blaine, if he can hold his position, is evidently fighting be hind the very strong breastwork of national patriotism, with a chance for a nice stroke of busi ness. Bulletin. Trouble in Arizona. Tho Star of last Friday says that one reason assigned fr the reign of lawlessness in Arizona, and very likely the principal reason, is that the U. S. civil authorities thero are unable to do anything for want of means. Tho U. S. marshal there cannot get any money to pay tho expen ses of his officer, and therefore can't make arrests. The law re quires all U. S. marshals to turn into the treasury, at the end of every fiscal year, the government money which they may have on hand. This the marshal of Ari zona has refused to do for tho past two 3'ears, and until he docs turn in such money the first comptroll er of the treasury will not recom mend that any money for the ex penses of his office be advanced him. When the cowboy troubles were serious a short - time ago some money was advanced the marshal's office in Arizona, but it was not sufficient to do much good. The fact that the marshal has not complied with the law has been laid before the president with recommendations that a change be made. The Vatican on Bavarian Beer. . A writer in the Dutches Mon tagsblatt gives an account of a recent conversation with a German Catholic priest, a member of a princely family, who has more than once been reported as having sanguino prospects of being made a prince of the Roman church. The talk turned upon the famous brew of the Munich Court Brew ery. "Do you know," asked the Prince, "what they think of Bava rian beer in Rome? Soon after the year 1860 I became parish priest of a Bavarian county vil lage. One day the burgomaster came to me. and said he wished to have my judgment upon a very serious point namely, whether it was proper to drink Bavarian beer in Lent. It appears that the good old father of the commune had observed with consternation that the consumption ''of beer had in creased to a great extent during the forty days of the fast, tho peasants indemnifying themselves for their abstinence from flesh by extraordinary indulgence in beer. The pastor replied that he thought a moderate enjoyment of beer was quite lawful. The President of the Commune, however, was not satisfied.' A few days later he again went to his princely rever ence and solemnly asked hjm whether he could not make an in quiry in Rome as to the legality of the wholesale drinking of Baier- isch during Lent. The clergyman gladly assented, "i received a notification from the highest iiu thorities,"-he says, "that no judg ment could be given on the beer question until the beer had been seen and tasted." A small barrel of the vory best Bavarian was sent from tho village to tho Eter nal City; it was probably the very first Bavarian beer which crossed "the threshold of tho apostiles." The decision camo back from Rome without delay. The wine drinking authorities in the Vati can ruled that as much of this singular liquid might be drunk during Lent as a man could bring himself to drink! Not only so, bufit was even added that it might be regarded as, a sort of penance when a man drank a large quantity of so bitter and nauseous a concoction. Does Not Believe it We welcome the prospect of opening Yaquina to our Valley producers as a shipping point; wo favor competition from the Sound and from Astoria; in truth we havo disappointed some carping souls who thought a man couldn't live hero without being owned here, but we contend that this town has a right to defend its interests fairly at Washington, and do not believe that with all his fearful and wonderful smart ness "Dave Thompson" can oor rupt Congress and make the Co lumbia river run up stream ex cept at flood tide occasionally with only three thousand .dollars. lYillamelte Farmer, 10th. Tho senate committee on terri tories last Friday heard Paul Schulze of Oregon, president of the Alaska Trading and Fishing Co., and M. D. Ball, of Sitka, in advocacy of favorable action on the bill introduced by Senator Grover and Representative George to provide a civil government for southeastern Alaska. -Warrantee deeds at Toe Astobiax offlc.
