f fa gnlljj starfm ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY ..FEBBUAKY 2, lBST Effort is being made in the legislature to have the incorpora tion law amended so that the O. R. & N. lines can bo leased to the Union Pacific Railroad Co. Short sighted men in and out of the leg islature oppose it. The measure is one that would be oi benefit to the state; it would admit a new line of transcontinental railroad, and the property now here would be as .subsidiary and as effectually controlled as at present. Pass the bill by all means on its merits and because of its evident benefit to the state. np It is one of the strangest specta cles in the world, says the ifows, to see people of the nineteenth century endeavoring to prevent the entrance of a great transconti nental railway into their state. The spectacle, however, can now be seen in some portions of Ore gon, but there are enough pro gressive and wideawake people in the state to welcome the strangers and accord to them every facility for gaining a footing. There is plenty of room in Oregon for doz ens of railroads and millions ol live people. Throw the doore open. Me. Paenell's power, says a London journal, is almost whollv due to his .force of restraint. He has absolute control over his tem per and never "lets himself go." The leader of a race famed for jo vial wit, passionate oratory, reck less abandon and a more than regal generosity, he never made a joke in his life, is a cold, unimpas sion'ed calculator, who holds him self in reserve even with his inti mates, and whose oratory has never been relieved by a single burst of rjassionate fervor. He is the mystery-man of modern poll tlC3 Speaking of the remarks of the English and Canadian press re garding the action of the senate in passing the "fisheries retalia tory bill," Senator Ingalls, of No braska, says: "They are attempt ing to divert the issue from the gravity of the accusation to the insignificance of the accuser. We have been so submissive and so forbearing in the past that the world is coming to believe us a nation of cowards. There has been so much transfusion of the dry rot of the Anglo-mania into our social system, and nonsense about kindred blood, that there has been temporary aberration of intellect and suspension of self respect on the part of the Ameri can people, who forget that En gland is the only enemy we have on the face of the earth. It is time that America awoke to the fact that statesmanship of nineteenth century requires unification of this continent, the the un- der one homogenous government, from the frozen sea to the inter oceanic canal, wherever it be built. That canal should be our south ern boundary. My dream, and I believe the .settled conviction of the American people, is a conti nental republic. That is our man ifest destiny: that is the inevita ble tendency of the political forces of the American people. It is their only safety, and in stead of wasting our power in --petty intrigues with savages for a naval station in the Pacific sea, a wiser and more commanding poli cy would be to establish relations of international friendship with our Canadian neighbors on the north, and our Spanish neighbors on the south, and not permit the machinations of Great Britain to foment disturbances which will defer such alliance or render it impossible." The O. B. & N. Ltese. With reference to the lease of the O. E. & N. to th Union Pacific, Eli- ' iah Smith, whd'fs'in Washington.tella me that up to a few weeks ago most .of the attorneys who had examined into the oase, held that the Oregon Short Line could legally lease the .Sat a&med'Iins. -Judge Dillon, gta- eral counsel for the Union Pacific company, was very decided in his opinion that this could bo done. About the first of this month, how ever, other attorneys were called in, and after a consultation and exchange of views an agreement was reached that it was at least necessary that the Oregon legislature shoufd ex pressly grant the O. R. & N. Co. authority to lease its road before a legal lease could be effeoted. Mr. Smith intimates, if he does not so state in direct words, that if the Or egon legislature grants the authority asked, the lease may be regarded as a certainty. Oregonian Special. Washington Correspondence. Washington, P. 0., Jan. 19, 1887. Edxtob Astebian: "Whatever may be .said of "Boas Shepard" who, by the way, owns a gigantic silver mine in Mexico now, there can be no doubt that he has done more for the city of Washington than any other man in the way of im provements, for ho has redeemed it from ifa old time slush and mud holes. As I write I hear a dirge played. It leads the funeral procession of Gen. Hazen. So one by one the sol diers are stepping ofE. In the year 1856, Oregon had three since illustri ous men in one of her companies sent out to fight the Indians: Oapt. U. S. Grant, Lieut. Phil. Sheridan and Lieut Hazen. Mrs-Logan's pension bill has been de feated in the house and the Democrats object to it (or "rather part of them do) on the grounds of "a more equal Jivision of favors," and it is rather hard that one old fellow should -scrub along' on four dollars a month when some body else who per formed less service gets several hun ired for the same length of time. If the present weather is a sample of the "sunny south" and "Washing ton weather," it would be advisable for persons who desire a mild climate to Bet sail for Greenland's loy mount ains. Senator Mitchell's speech on the canal and looks of the Columbia river tvaa a "howling success," and caused a good deal of rattling amongst the dry bones of politioal fossils. There is no doubt that Mitchell is one of the ablest men and most earnest workers in the TJ. S. senate. EBFOOT. Unneoessary Misery. Probably as much misery comes from habitual constipation as from any derangement of the functions of the body, and it is difficult to cure, for the reason that no one likes to take the medicines usually pre scribed. HAMBURG FIGS were prepared to obviate this difficulty, and they will bo found pleasant to the taste of women and ohildren. 25 cents. At all druggists. J. J. Mack & Co., proprietors. S. F. m . What to Write Love Letters With. Invisible ink is made of several substances, bat the most carious known is that made from cobalt. It is a very remarkable phenomenon that this ink may be made to disap pear and reappear at pleasure. This property is peculiar to inks obtained from cobalt, for all other kinds are at first invisible until some snbsttance has been applied to make them ap pear; but when once they have ap peared, they remain. To prepare this ink, take zaffreand dissolve it in ni tromuriatio acid till the acid extracts from it the metallio part of the co balt, whioh communicates to the zafFre a blue color; then dilute the solution, which is very acrid, with common water; if you write with this liquid on paper, the characters will be invisible; bat when exposed to a sufficient degree of heat they will be come green. When the paper nas cooled they will disappear. If the paper be too much heated they will not disappear at all. Uhicago inter Ocean. Btscklcn's Arnica Ssttlrr.
