.-- - -- ?l m i bc gafoj Stforim ASTORIA. OBEGON: FRIDAY. .NOVEMBER 9. 188S. JOHN ERICSSON. To us the life of John Ericsson is one of the most beautiful imaginable. It has been spent in the investigation of nature's secrets and in putting in action nature's tremendous forces, and so quietly has it moved on that now at eightv-six he seems to be nncon scions of the flight of time. He seems to have no summons to begin to wind up his affairs; the infirmities which usually come 'with age seem to wait outside his gate;"nothing has entered to call a halt to his f aculties,or to dis turb the peace of his life's afternoon. It would not be strange if the machin ery of his frame were to run down and stop without one broken wheel, and without a jar. One of these days when all the present generation shall have passed away, some gifted soul will set to words the mighty drama of our civil war. It will be shown how it was planned by unseen powers, how the stage was set by them, the scenes shifted and the mighty acts called. Among those actors John Ericsson will be a principal star. There will, in the shadow, be outlined the great fleets of England and France being prepared quietly for war, there will be outlined here and there, in the inland waters of our country, dangerous look ing iron-clads baing urged to comple tion, and alarmed Justice will be ask ing what can be done to evade the impending periL Then fate will sum mon John Ericsson and will answer: "He is enough. "With the hammer in his hand he will sink all those hostile navies; he will destroy all those iron clads, for to that work I shall direct my mind and he shall be my executor." When Sheridah rode to Cedar Creek, turned the tide of battle and' from a seeming defeat wrought a triumph that was genius and courage. "When Thomas flung his command, unsupported in the path of the onsweeping, exultant and overwhelming enemy at Chicka mauga, arrested its progress and saved the northern army, that was genius and august soldierly devotion. "When Morris with his command went down with the fated Cumberland disdaining to surrender, firing their last broadside as the hungry sea was running into their guns and cheering under the very shadow of death; that was an act the sublimity of which gave to their countrymen a new re spect the world around. "When the Monitor in the very stress of the Un ion fleet's defeat steamed into Hamp ton Eoads; that wa3 Providence. There was where Fate's messenger fulfilled the trust that had been given into his hands. "When the news of that day's work was flashed under the sea the men of England and France looked into each other's faces and knew that the shots which had crip pled the Merrimae had also sunk all their mighty wooden walls. But this man has worked twenty-six years since and still continues his labor. Indeed it is not labor, it is second nature and a perpetual joy to him. It would be a graceful act if congress should or der, when it meets, that on every Bnc ceeding birthday while he lives, an especial honor shonld be paid him. Other lands honor their scientists and reward eminent services. John Eric3-,, son has extraordinary claims for both his scientific triumphs and for sec ices rendered. To estimate what lie did we have only to try to estimate what might have been had he not lival. We sometimes fail to realize the great power of the president of the United States. It is the highest office on earth. No emperor nor king ap proaches iit in majesty or potency. The president of tho United States is the only civilized ruler on the planet who can defy the will of the legisla ture. He can refuse to accede to the wishes of 68,000,000 people mid no one can successfully impeach him. He has the appointment of every civil officer in. the federal government He can make a chief justice who sits in judgment, the supreme arbiter of American law so long as life endures. And, thank God! we've never yet had a president of the United States who has grossly abused his power nor caused scandal to affect his integrity or his character. Neveb in the history of the nation had a presidential candidate a grand er champion than had Harrison in the person of Jas. G. Blaine, and the only regret of hundreds of thousands of American votera was that they could not vote for that representative of American ideas. But Harrison is a pretty good American himself. His 79 campaign speeches showed the calibre of the man and proved that he has in him the stuff to make a fine chief executive. We will now have Henry Watter- son's Courier-Journal's real opinion of Graver Cleveland. Mn. Cluvelaxd now realizes that his opinions are not the decrees of providence, and that his "destiny" made no provision for a second term. But let it be said of Mr. Cleveland that not the slightest whijper of scandal attached itself to his personal administration. Though misguided and among temptations, he is an hon est man. MmiiEB, Cleveland and Hewitt were the New York Mugwumps' pet candi dates. Each of the three are beaten. The New York mugwump isn't near as big an Injun as he was in 'Si. .mugwumps, UKe one other noxious animal, are biggest when they're born. - i - - - President Clevelaot declared against a second term. The people took him at his word. If Harrison behaves himself and doesn't monkey with the surplus, perhaps the Ameri can nation may-hire him for another four years to attend to things. - It doesn't look'-as though '"1S92 is going to be the Abraham Lincoln year of the Prohibition party," as our misguided prohibition friends assured us a few moons ago. The American people develop a tremendous amount of sense occasionally. Boys don't brag. True blue doesn't brag, especially after the victory is won. Never exult over a defeated ad versary. It was a square fight. Oar side won. That's good. Now let's shake hands. No gentleman will rub it in. Two men deserve honorable men tion in connection with Tuesday's election and success. M. S. Quay, of Pennsylvania, and Jno. I. Davenport, of New York. Neither takes a brass band along when he goes duck hunt ing. The solid south, New Jersey and Connecticut give Mr. Cleveland 1GS electoral votes. The Republican can didate for president gets the remain der 233, a majority and 32 more. His excellency the governor of Oregon has issued a Thanksgiving proclamation, which, under the cir cumstances, was a very sensible thing for the governor to do. Harrison carried twenty states; Cleveland eighteen; the Republicans have a majority of thestates, andof the electoral votes. The popular vote is almost a tie. Jas. G. Blaine as secretary of state will have for his rule, "America is to be honored at home and respected abroad." Ben Butler spoke for Harrison in Michigan. God moves in a mysteri ous way His wonders to perform. Washington territory can now get ready to don the robes of statehood. Lord Sackville didn't know it was loaded. BOBS. At Knanna.

What it prints sets people to think ing and talking. BECAUSE whatever other period icals may come into the family, the great reading world ha3 found out that "no household can keep abreast of the times without Tire Cen tum." "Its success is explained by its contents.
