w h r Wt gaits gstorim. ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY MARCH 31, 1S87 The Salem Talk says there is a case of small pox seven miles north of Salem at Hazeldell. The total railway mileage of the United States at the com mencement of the present year was 137,500 miles. The Canadian government has decided to send an exploring ex pedition to Hudson bay this year to report on the question of its navigability. Dakota, will vote on a local op tion and prohibition measure in November. The question of di viding the territory will be voted on at the same time. Senator Cuixem: has said that at the next session of congress he will introduce a bill similar to the interstate commerce bill regulat ing the telegraph sTstem. The governor of Tennessee has signed the bill submitting to the people a prohibition amendment to the costitution. The election will be held next September. The report of the population of Germany, according to the census of 1885, has just been made pub lic. The total is placed at 46,885, 962, an increase of 5,500,000 since 1871. A scientist says that Mauna Loa, the Sandwich Island volcano, throws mud 4,200 miles. The vol cano should be in demand on the newspapers in the coming presi dential election. A bigamy case tried in Cincin nati disclosed the fact that the law as to slave marriages in Kentucky is that such marriages are void unless ratified after the partici pants had obtained their freedom. New York proposes to spend $5,000,000 in the improvement of her streets, 1,000,000 to be spent each year until the work of fur nishing the city with entirely new paving of the best material is fin ished. A new society in England is called "The Speak-no-evil Socie ty." Its members are enjoined before speaking evil of any one to ask themselves three questions Is it true? Is it kind? Is it .nec essary? A resident of Tottenville, L. I., recently had his house fixed up with the most improved burglar alarms, whereupon the affronted thieves entered the place and car ried off a big haul of clothing, iewelry, etc. Every eastern paper saj's Blaine has begun his campaign for the nomination. The Astokian de clines to believe that till it hears that Jas. G. has made arrange ments with the fool killer to dis posrt of Burchard. The result of the winter's legis lative work on woman suffrage is that Kansas has granted the priv ilege, Rhode Island has submitted an amendment on the subject to a vote of the people and New York, Maine and Massachusetts have defeated similar propositions The Marquis Tseng slates that the Chinese government is en gageu in attempting to cause a general emigration from the more crowded portions of the empire to those which are less settled and also to encourage the establish raent of manufactories and rail roads to increase the opportunities for'occupation of the over-crowded population. m- . .-i I he education that does not prepare the pupil to intelligently direct his labor is not worthy of much consideration. But little ef fort is made in our present system of education to prepare children to use their knowledge in assisting bem to gain a livelihood. Most 'o&the .Nation's bovs and girls have nodecupafion and are not fit for one-when thev leave school. The new education demanded by the necessities of the nineteenth cen tury calls for the training of the eye and the hand, and stamps it as being just as important as the study of grammar, geography, arithmetic and other kindred stud ies. Educated workingmen and women are necessary to solve the great labor problems that will arise in the future. For the pur poses of this education there is room and need for technical schools in all quarters of our coun try. Mental industry can exist only along with physical industry; hence, the true school should give both mental and plrysical culture. After the president has ob tained from the five interstate commerce commissioners their sev eral acceptances, his work is by no means compreted. 'There is a del icate distribution of varying terms to make. No two of the five are to serve the same length of time. One will be appointed for two years, another for three, the third for four, the fourth for five and the fifth for six years. These terms will date from January 1, 18S7, so the junior commissioner will have but one year and nine Lmonths service before him. After 18S8 a vacancy on this board will occur every year, and as these va cancies' are filled the appointments will be for six rears term there is a nice little' point about salaries to be settled. The law contemplated the immediate appointment of the commissioners. Section 18 says that each commissioner shall re ceive an annual salary of 7,500, and section 24 sas that the pro visions of section 18 shall take ef fect immediately. The question, therefore, is, do the salaries date from February 4, the date of the enactment, or from the date of the qualification? This is a matter of about 800 to each commissioner. But there is still another view to be taken of this salary question. The law says: "The commission ers first appointed under this act shall continue in office for the term of two, three, four, five and six years, respectively, from the 1st day of January, 1887." The treasury officers may construe that to mean that the "annual salary" begins January 1, 1887. There is nothing in the law to show other wise. In that event each roinmis sioner will start with nearly three months' salary to his credit, about 1,850. The president is given authority to remove at any time any commissioner for inefficiencj', neglect of duty or malfeasance in office. Special Commodity Tariff. Under the interstate commerce law the following roads have agreed upon a special commodity tariff on salmen: Atchison, Topeka & Santa Pe, At lantic & Pacific, Burlington & Mis souri River.
