ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY- OCTOBER 23. 18S9 "Oub bear garden," is what tlie Ta conia papers call flie Tacoma city council. One paper spells bear -with two "e's," but a11 agree that so long as tlie present council exists Tncoina needs no other circus. If, as it now appears, Montana elects a Eepublican legislature which elects two Eepublican TJ. S. senators, then in the election of the 1st inst, the Eepublican party in drawing four of a kind takes the pot. The Australian system of. voting, if put into practice in this state, would bs a bonanza for the Portland firm which has the monopoly of the ballot paper for this state. " A copy of the ticket voted in Montana under "the Australian system" on the election of October 1st, is six feet long, and twelve inches wide. Portland is reported by commer cial statisticians to be the third richest city of its size in the world, and yet Portland, East Portland, Albina, and the whole county of Multnomah was assessed last year at only 22,000,000. Either all the statisticians of the world or the Multnomah county asses sor are telling a big no-such-thing. The Astoria Building and Loan as sociation is a good example of what mutual benefit such a carefully man aged institution can be. It helps the borrower and the lender: it aids in building hemes: it develops individual resources and makes it worth while to save. Last Saturday ten shares were sold, that represented a cash value of 300. That investment brings in a return of 2) per cent, per month. The association has now opened its sixth series and is one of the paying financial institutions of the city. An item in yesterday's Astorian contained food for reflection for more than one Astorian. It told of Tacoma men journeying through Eastern "Washington, and buying at good pric es wheat to be shipped to Tacoma, there to be sent to England and the continent That little item is preg nant with meaning. It shows what wide-awake opposition can and will do. The way to get the wheat to Ta coma is just the way the Tacoma peo ple have adopted. True, iis a most unnatural route to carry wheat across a wide expanse of wilderness, trundle it over the tops of snow-clad moun tains, to a point hundreds of miles from the sea, but everything goes where it is sent, and wheat bought by Tacoma men goes to Tacoma. On the other hand, from the same region where this wheat is bought, were a car loaded with wheat, it would roll down to Astoria on a natural grade, or were a barge so loaded, the waters of the Columbia (if uuvexed by ob struction) would float it down to the seaport of Oregon. The force of these remarks lies in their manifest truth, and their possible application. The way to make Astoria a wheat shipping point is to have Astorians buy the wheat where it is grown to be shipped from Astoria. The Astorian is well aware of all the difficulties. But to cite the difficulties in answer is only to seek excuse for inertness. The way to do a thing is to do it The Washington board of can vessers met last Monday to canvass the election returns which indicates that the inauguration will take place on November 4. As the only returns which have to be sent to the presi dent are those on the constitution and ihe separate articles, the canvass can easily be completed on that day, and can be sent to "Washington city the next day. They should reach the president, with a certified copy of the constitution, next Monday. As the president is understood to have al ready examined and passed upon an unofficial copy of the constitution, it will only remain for him to see that there are no vital differeneces be tween it and the official copy to be sent him. He could therefore easilv issue his proclamation of admission on the same day. Supposing this to be done, the inauguration could not take place until the following Monday, "Novem ber 4, even if the proclamation should be sent by telegraph. It could prob ably reach Olympia by mail on Satur day, the 2d day of November, in time for the inauguration to tako place on the Monday. Thus that date is the earliest on which "Washington can be come a state. Should a delay of a day or two occur in issuing the pro clamation, it would have to be sent by telegraph in order to allow the inaug uration to take place on November 4th. Otherwise, the difficulty already mentioned in the Press might occur of having the legislature in session without a state government TLry the Chase & Sanborn Seal Brand coffee best in the market at Thomp son & Ross.

Judcre Deadv was interviewed ar "Washington, I). 0., yesterday in re gard to the Sharon-Hill case and pre dicted that Sarah would come to a vio lentend. CONGRESSMAN HERMANN'S DAUGHTER. A report reached this city to-day to the purport that for some time past Dr. Miller of Eoseburg had been pay ing attention to a daughter of con gressman Hermann, but for some un known reason was objectionable to the young lady's parents. The report alleges that last Sunday evening the doctor visited congressman Hermann's residence from which he was removed without ceremony, but on the follow ing morning the doctor and Miss Hermann were united in marriage. No further details respecting the affair could be had. PATENT COMMISSIONER MITCHELL'S DE CISION. Washington, D. C, Oct 22. Patent commissioner Mitchell to-day ren dered an important decision, in which he holds that attorneys can not be permitted to inspect abandoned cases in the patent office. The case came before the commissioner on the appli cation of the attorneys for the Hy draulic Brick Machine company, of St Louis. In their petition they al lege that their clients were threatened with a suit for infringement of build ing blocks or bricks, as they expressed the belief that an application for pat ent had been filed and abandoned for the same kind of a building block or brick manufactured by their clients. They requested permission to "inspect abandoned cases in the patent office in order to protect their clients from un necessary expense and suit" Com missioner Mitchell, after stating that a man may abaudon his application for two years without abandoning his invention, and that until the inven tion nas Deen two years in public use or on sale the inventor has lost no part of his inchoate property, says: "It follows that to grant the present amplication would be to uncover to the scrutiny of the public many in ventions which are still the property or the applicants, and which will ulti mately mature into patents." THE PRESIDENT AND THE MASONS. "Washington, D. C, Oct 22. Am ong the many curious inquiries that come to the White House in the daily mail is an occasional one asking wheth er the President is a member of the Masonic fraternity. That question was submitted at the Executive Man sion perhaps a hundred times during the past week, the presence of the thousands of .Knights Templar in the city-giving interest to the matter. To this query a uniform letter is written to the effect that the President is not a Mason. He belongs to only one so ciety that may be termed a secret or ganization, and that is a college f rater nity of the "Greek letter order," the Jtlii Delta Theta. He joined this col lege fraternity in 1852, while a student at Miami University, Oxford, O. Only two members of President Harrison's Cabinet are Masons, and none of them is a Knight Templar.

Letters from Zan zibar received at the office of the anti slavery society here, report that the buying and selling of human chattels in the streets of that city is being car ried on with scarcely any attempt at concealment The merchants who carry on this traffic are Arabs, but it appears to be well understood in Zan zibar that rich firms of English traders furnish all the capital to conduct the nefarious business.
