IZ mt gait gsstomro. ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY...... - APK1L 1. 1RS7 THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE LA W Thouoii ten thousand newspa per columns have been filled with discussion of the interstate com merce law, which goes into effect next Monday, yet even now it is impossible to correctly predicate the effects of this law, or the prac tical results of its observance. Nor can any estimate of tangible value be made till the law itself is in operation. How it will affect Astoria is as much of a problem as how it will affect Omaha or New. Orleans. Every journal finds something good and something bad in the law from its geographical point of view. Sections One and Four affect Astorians apparently us much as any other portions of the law, an excellent synopsis of which ap pears elsewhere. In general it may be said that the Pacific coast appears to be discriminated against. Astoria merchants have discounted any probable present loss in that direc tion by ordering large quantities of staple goods overland under the old rates. It is believed that the great advance in freight rates made necessary by the law will not be permanent. The law ap pears to be a very elastic one, and capable of considerable resilience on the part of the commisioners. But looking at it in its worst aspect it would seem that Astoria is grandly independent. To some Pacific coast communities the law will, evidently, work a hardship. Not so to Astorians. "We have the ocean, and the waves that close behind the vessel's keel know no arbitrary regulation and cannot be ruled by laws that govern the par allel lines of overland rail com munication burning on the embers of a wood fire, while the two arms were placed in the nostrils, through which was inhaled the smoke. This instrument was called a to- bago, and donbtless gave the name to the weed or plant. - JKFFS United States Itestanrant is the best niul cheapest in Astoria. What! Io YouThinlc Jeff of the U.

Blaine is on his wav from In diana to Colorado to look after some mining property there. The programme states that he will stop in Chicago on his return, and in June will leave for Europe to be gone a yearr He will be absent when the next national Republican convention meets. Blaine's friends say' he is indifferent to the nomina tion, and has decided fo go abroad for'so long a time for the purpose of indicating this. He is quoted as expressing himself literally dis gusted with the constant pressure that is brought to bear on him to accept the position of an active candidate. His friends say that he will neither seek nor avoid the nomination. He is to spend his time abroad in studying labor problems, social phases and inter national problems, and, when he comes back he will take the stump for the nominees of his party. The course of Maine legislation! in regard to the death penalty is peculiar. After the execution of two men in 1875, the legislature abolished it. This was tried sev eral years, but the number of murders being larger than usual, it was restored. Its restoration seemed to have no effect to check the crime, and the result is that the present house has voted, 87 to 21, to abolish the death penalty. A kill has been introduced in the New York senate requiring new lawyers to take out licenses at 500 for attorneys in New York and 100 in other cities in the state; $1,000 for attorneys and counsellors in New York city and 500 in other cities.

The Pennsylvania railroad com Independent of all arbitrary law pany has construed the interstate men -will buy in the cheapest mar- commerce law to prohibit the is Engagement Extraordinary. .j K IIJ im Oiera H ket and have their merchandise carried by the cheapest convey ance, and should Astoria find the tax on overlaud freight too oner ous it will be easy to buy in New York and Philadelphia and Boston and have the goods come round by water. Of course it will be slower, but vastly cheaper. This buying by the Pacific coast in the extreme east -would not last. If the interstate commerce law con tinues, which is doubtful, the in evitable tendency will be to build up large wholesale houses here, and hasten the day. when we will have Pacific coast manufactures. So long as we can bring eastern manufactured goods from Chicago for 65 cents a hundred, so long will be delayed the time when we will manufacture those goods on Pacific shores. Tn this regard, the law, if enforced, will make the northwest -work outits own salva tion, not, like the Psalmist, "in fear and trembling," but in tian quil assurance of ultimate sucrt .?. The manufacture of cigars is to-day one of the most important industries of this country. For merly Cuba controlled the trade, but latterly the industry has been diverted to the United States. Practically the cigar of to-day, ex cept in style and finish, is the same as that smoked by the natives of the western hemisphere before the advent of the white man. To Sir Walter Raleigh is given the credit of introducing smoking into En gland, but although it0 is now known that tobacco had been smoked in England be fore Sir Walter's time, lie certainly deserves the credit of making it popular and fashionable. The American Indians are slip posed to have made the first cigars, which were formed of tobacco leaves rolled together and -wrapped around -with the inner leaves of maize or Indian corn. Two of Co lumbus1 sailors "found the natives of Cuba smoking tobacco by means of a hollow tube in the shape of the letter Y, the foot of which -was planted among some tobacco leaves suance of free passes for traffic or travel from one state to another, but not to prohibit it within the state lines. The road will act ac cording!'. The postoflice department, has issued a circular to the railway mail etnplo'es saying the inter state commerce law will not forbid their using free passes, since the postal service is not covered by that act. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says last Wednesday another at tempt on the life of the czar was made at Gatschina, and that he es caped uninjured. 1 1 - It is estimated at the treasury department that the reduction in the national debt during last month amounted to 12,000,000.
