ASTORIA, OREGOX, "WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19 1883.
PRICE, FIVE CENTS.
Worse Than Sliylock.
When Henry Billings was president
of the Northern Pacific Railroad
Company, and while the company
needed all" the encouragement from
the settlers along the line of the road
that they could possibly get, and
when anything of a healthy opposi
tion would have been fatal to the
company, the board passed a resolu
tion that the would sell their lands
at $2,G0 per acre, being only ten cents
more than the Government price,
they claiming that the extra ten cents
was to cover the expenses of survey
ing. Ad unsophisticated people, be
lieving that they were dealing with an
honorable company, settled and im
proved large tracts of their lands,
firmly believing that S2,G0 per acre
was the price they would have to pay.
But now that the company is estab
lished on a solid basis, and, to use a
homely expression, begins to feel that
"it is out of the woods," with all the
jugglery and brassy effrontery of the
lowest pothouse politicians, they ig
nore tho resolution of the former
board, and, like a merciless Shylock,
propose to extract from the deluded
and defrauded settler every dollar
that the law, in its weakness, allows.
Paul Schulze, the general land agent,
in an interview with an Orcgonian
reporter, savs that thev arc now sell
ing their lands from $2,G0 to $8,00 per
acre: and their timber lands from
S5.00 to 18,00 per acre; and upwards.
The upwards, of course, means all
that they can get. When old Shy
lock claimed his pound of flesh off of
lKor Antonious, there was some little
excuse for his exacting it; for, not
only did Antonious kuow when he
signed the contract what the penally
of a failure would be, but Shylock
also had some old scores to settle and
gross insults to wipe out Bflt in this
case the settlors have acted in good
faith in what they supposed was a
binding contract; and the company,
instead of ever having suffered at
their hands, have received nothing in
tho past but favors, kind words and
encouragement from the men whom
they are now fleecing. But 'tho law
allows it and the court awards it," -nt
least so says Judge Deady whom
the company will evidently regard as
a Daniel come to judgement;' and so
say a multitude of smaller Daniels
throughout the Territory and state of
Oregon, whose judgement don't a
mount to anything to the company or
any one elseJ In view of the broken
faith of this company; in view of the
fact that year after year has passed
by since under the contract, the road
should have been completed; and in
view of the further fact, as evidenced
by the statement of the agent, that
the lands are to bo sold at extortion
ate rates, and that thousands who
have settled upon these lands in good
faith, and have spent the best years
of their lives in redeeming them from
a state of wildness, will be unable to
pay the prices demanded and will be
compelled to leavo them and turn
their backs upon tho labor of years.
Wo say, in view of all these things
and the picture is not overdrawn we
most earnestly urge Congress to re
liete us from tho oppressions of this
unfair, dishonorable and extortionate
monopoly. JClicitat Sentinel.
News from El Mahdi'.s Armv.
Khartoum, Dec. 17. A well known
native with Hicks- Pasha's army has
returned from whence ho was unable
to escape, because of liis black color,
and because ho wore no uniform. He
says Hicks Pasha fought like a lion,
and was tho last officer to falL The
members of his staff fell in one group,
After the battle 150 soldiers were
found wounded, and El Mahdi gave
orders that none ot tlieni be ill
treated. Tho bodies of the Egyptian
and English officers wero decapitated
and the heads hung over tho gates of
El Obeid. The Arabs are determined
to erect a monument for Hicks Pasha
on account of his great bravery. El
Mahdi has forbidden that Vizetellv,
tho QrapJiic artist, bo ill-used. El
Mahdi threatened to punish Zargalls
because he failed to join him. The
Sheik sent a reply of defiance, saying
he has 15,000 warriors and. seven
years' provisions.
Cases in Oregon in which the farm
has made satisfactory returns for
labor and capital invested, are exceed
ingly rare. Such are tho feelings
and expressions of farmers all over
tho state. If a farmer has become
wealthy his riches are tho fruits of
outside speculation or business other
than tilling tho soiL There is no
country in tho United States where
farmers have been more completely
enslaved by tho requirements of the
farm. For the fanner to be able to
take his wife or family and spend
100 on a pleasure excursion is of
rare occurrence, if not an unheard of
thing. No people live more econom
ical than Oregon farmers, taken as a
class. These things evidently mean
that something is wrong. If any set
ofmonon earth ought to bve well
and enjoy perfect freedom from care,
it is that class who till the soil.
These should be free from restraint
and embarrassment peculiar to com
mercial life. Unlike the merchant.

The Manitoba Strike.
Chicago. Dec. 17. A gentleman
who arrived from Winnipeg yester
day, regarding the mammoth strike
on the Canadian Pacific Railroad,
said: "The people of the "United
States have but a faint idea of the in
tense excitement caused in Manitoba
by this strike. The sympathy of the
people is altogether with tue strikers,
it being the general impression that
the men were forced to strike. It is
claimed by the strikers and people
that it is an attempt on the part of
the Canadian Pacific itailroad com
pany to close up the western division
of the road until spring. The coun
try is full of grain ready for shipment
and the company does not desire to
move this grain before spring, be
cause it would get but a short haul
on the samo. its desire is to have
this L'rain shipped cast via Prince
Arthur's Landing, in order to get a
long haul, and this it cannot do un
til navigation opens. This matter is
a most serious one for the people of
Manitoba. They need money for
their products, m order to lay in ineir
winter's supply of coal and provis
ions, of which they are sadly m need.
No more unfortunate event could
have occurred at this particular pe
riod in the history of the country,
and little else is talked of in the
province. If it is prolonged, and un
less the company changes its policy,
it will last all winter, it is evident
that trade will be paralyzed and
farmers subjected to much suffering.
It is feared, too, that there will be a
scarcity of coal, as large quantities in
transit between Prince Arthur and
Winnipeg arc delayed on the road."
The gentleman was decidedly of tue
opinion that unless relief comes very
soon there will be a revolution in
Manitoba.
A T rib line Winnipeg, Manitoba
special says: "Hostilities between
the locked-out oncrineers and tho Ca
nadian Pacific railway authorities
have commenced to take an active
shape. Six engines were disabled yes
terday and to-day, while endeavoring
to brine a passenirer tram from the
south. It was found that soap had
been put into the water tanks, which
caused the water to foam in the loco
motive loilers. This afternoon Su
perintendent Egan. while backing up
an engine to connect with a train,
miscalculated the distance and
smashed in the end of the postal car.
One man was injured.
Origin of tho Alphabet.
'The origin and history of the
English alphabet," was the title of an
interesting lecture recently delivered
by Gen. Sir John Leroy at the Work
intrmen's college, London. He said
the source of the .hnglish. alphabet
might be found in the writing of a
people who lived hi tho hills of North
ern India, some 3,000 or 4,000 years
ago. As tune went these people were
scattered from their native abodes
and manv of them took up their rest
dences in Syria, tho people of which
country took up their methods of
writing. A thousand years later the
merchants of Phoenicia carried on
business in every part of the then
civilized world, but finding tho trade
could not be carried on to any great
extent, without some method of com
munication, they searched for some
suitable characters for writing, and
those used by tho Syrians bemg the
best obtainable, were adopted. The
Phoenicians carried their newly
found alphabet to the Greeks, from
whom it was adopted by the liomans.
Ave now uso tho Homan alphabet
with slight moditications. in pass
ing through the hands of so many
nations, the alphabet had undergone
a great change: thus, when it left
the Indian mountains every letter
represented a syllable, or an idea.
but when it appeared m England
each letter was only part of a syllable,
and that only part of an idea.
Tho Tacoma Ledger publishes a
part of a private letter from New
York in which it is said "the North
ern Pacific stockholders and direct
ors have awakened to tho fact that
the lino across tho Cascade mount
ains must bo built at as early a date
as possible, and a syndicate will most
prohably be formed this winter for
that purpose. It will be a strong
party, and will succeed in what they
undertake. The Natches pass is the
one most talked of, and it is said to
bo the most feasible ot all tho passes
yet surveyed." As the writer pur
ports to bo "posted," it is evident that
tho road over the Cascades is yet a
long waj's in, the future.
Messrs. Lotan, Henderson, Hatch
and Sanborn, of Portland, have in
corporated, with a capital stock of
$100,000, a company to construct

running a ime oi sieamooais on mxe

Free trade journals are commenting
on tho fact that seven ty workmen dis
charged from the Paterson, r. J.
locomotive works, sailed last luesday
in the Alaska for Liverpool, to fill
engagements to work on iron ship
building on the Clyde. Each man
paid his own passage.
The banks are said to be weaken
ing on the mortgage tax, and in proof
of it. Wm. Heid has latelv nlaced $12.-
