CO fa Saj gtorim ASTORIA. OREGON: FRIDAY . OCTOBElt 4,1SS3. The United State? Democrat please copy. is. Albany In Montana last Tuesday the Aur stralian system of voting was used and pronounced in every, -way satis factory. Wokk is progressing on the Astoria railroad. Rails are being laid. The terminus of this road is at Astoria the seaport of Oregon. The other ter minus of this road is at the Gulf of Mexico. With the railroad .at our some of our ancient and modern and antediluvian residents would do well to remember that other things in ad dition to acquiring and freezing onto real estate are required to make the aforesaid real estate as valuable as they expect it will. Swapping lots will not build up a city- Industrial enterprises will help more. r The four new states might as well make it unanimous. The most grati fying result of the election is to make positive the fact that the "pivotal" state of New York can go as it blamed please. It no longer controls the politics of this country and the peo ple need no longer wait to hear from the foreign city on Manhattan island to know which way the election has gone. Last Tuesday's election de monstrates that the Nation (with a big N.) will give Republican majorities for the next generation. i It is reported Xrom "Washington that European nations 'are bringing a strong pressure to bear on the South American republics to prevent the success of the international congress that i3 to meet at Washington next month. The. English, French, Ger man and Spanish newspapers are devoting considerable space to the sub ject, and give notice to the South American nations that if they shall enter into close commercial and polit ical relations with the United States it will be regarded as prejudicial to European interests, and an unfriendly act The correspondent who suggests the advantage of shooting oil from the life saving guns to wrecks on the coast, hits upon an, idea which has already passed a successful experi mental test both in this country and in England. Oil rockets capable of being dropped and exploded with suf ficient accuracy withiu any reasonable distance have been invented, and re ceived the indorsement of competent maritime officers. They are designed not only for throwing oil to ships in distress, but a tempest tossed vessel can discharge them for a considerable distance to the windward, the oil thus acting much more effectively than when discharged from canvas bags in tow of the vessel, as has been the cus tom. It is a little singular that a life saving invention which has ap parently been proved so valuable, has not been brought into use at a season when there was a good reason to sup pose its practical value might be dem onstrated. It is odd that the old idea of "pouring oil on troubled waters" should have been so long dropped, and then so suddenly revived and brought into general use as it has been within the past few years. There is generally an effort on the part of young writers, and sometimes with older ones as well, towards "strong" writing. It is considered clever to abuse people, and very fre quently justice is sacrificed to gratify this desire. Strong writing i3 all very well in its place; the trouble is that too often in the effort to make it "strong" the misguided youngster only succeeds in making it rank. Abuse without argument is never strong. There is no particular cleverness re quired to call a brother editor a ring tailed baboon a spotted monkey would be equally effective and would mean just as little. The most killing style of strong writing is where the writer never forgets- the fact that he is a gentleman, and that what he writes is to be read by gentlemen and ladies. Under ordinary circumstan ces abuse is never convincing, but rather reflects -upon the writer than upon its intended object We may laugh at it as an example of "Oregon style," but it disgusts us all the same. Nor is abusive "strong writing" con fined to the western press. The New York papers, when argument is lack ing, fall back ventjTeadily upon bil lingsgate, and like the squid, think to conceal their 'own discomfiture .by discharging their ink upon the hated rival. Yet, after all, it is only ink, and in the long run it serves only to spatter themselves. Coffee and cake, ten rents, at the Central Restaurant CUHrenCpyfePitiito'sMoriii TEL GRAPfflG Specials to The Astorian. Portland. Oct 3. R. Clinton, alias Perry, convicted of forgery, " was to day sentenced to two years m the penitentiary. 'Ihe city is full of sneak thieves and burglars. Several cases were report ed at police headquarters to-day. Last evening at the time set "for the regular meeting of the city council only four members of that body pre sented themselves in the council chamber, namely: Gerdes, Scoggin, Costendyke nnd. Forbes. This did not constitute a" quorum, and the quartette adjourned. There are many rumors afloat respecting the cause of the non-appearance of the five other members. It seems that there is a split in the council upon the matter of street railway franchises. The cable company and Jeffreys com pany ask for nght of way on Alder street There are two corporations contending for right of way on Sixth street As members of the council have been unable to agree as to which companies should be favored by them, they concluded not to meet until the majority harmonized upon that point. ROUGH ON THE CATTLEMEN. Washington, D. C, Oct. 3 The United States consul general at Lon don, Hon. J. C. New, in a recent dis patch to the state department, calls attention to the peculiar hardship suffered by the American cattlemen during the great strike in London. "In connection with the strike," he states, "there is one feature which deserves special mention. It has been the custom for manv vears for large consignments of cattle to bo shipped in. the care of men who are paid a small sum upon reaching this port, and are given a pass entitling them to a return passage on the same vessel, which generally starts upon its return in a week. This pass can be exchanged for its cash equivalent, about 3, the expense of a steerage passage to New York. As the strike prevents the unloading or re- i loading of these vessels they can not return at tne time specified, and in consequence these cattlemen are left here, destitute and unprovided for, unless they sell their passes to provide means of living, and if they do this they have no means of returning to their homes. They are under no obligations, moral or legal, to assist in the unloading of vessels, and an attempt qu their part to do this is attended with danger of serious personal violence at the hands of the strikers. During the past week there have been fully 100 of these cattle men at the office asking that I either provide them means of living or com pel the steamship companies to do it My inability to do either has caused considerable trouble and complaint Mr. Tho3. H. Sherman, the consul of the United States at Liverpool, com plains that he has been, subjected to much trouble on the same account. Some of these cattlemen, I think, are the men who displayed American flags in the processions of the strikers." SECRETARY WINBOXl's REGULATIONS. Washington, Oct 3. Secretary Windom has issued the following reg ulations to cover the transit of Chi nese laborers through the United States: First Any Chineso laborer claim ing to be in transit through the terri tory of the United States, in the course of a journey from and to other countries, shall be required to pro duce to the collector of customs at the first port of arrival a through ticket across the whole territory of the United States intended to be trav ersed, and such other proof as he may be able to adduce to satisfy the col lector of the fact that a bona fide transit only is intended, and such ticket and other evidence must be so stamped or marked Bnd dated by the custom officer as to prevent their use the second time. Second Descriptive lists of all such Chinese laborers will be prepared in duplicate, showing the name, age, oc cupation, last place of residence, height, complexion, color of eyes and physical marks.
