"WSfe cy fo gniU $foran. ASTORIA. OREGON: WEDNESDAY- ..DECEMBER 4. 18SC. It is understood that the president will recommend to congress the pass age of a general bankruptcy law. Mr. Pettigrew, the new senator from South Dakota, having lived in a territory ever since he was of age, has never yet voted for a president In Idaho, a floating paragraph states, "a deer was recently shot by a hunter having horns with fiorty-two prongs." That's a good many horns for a hunter to have. A new gun has been designed for the army. As the enemy approaches the muzzle, his attention is attracted by a small sign: "Drop a penny in the slot and see the gun go off." Australia, is as big as the United States were in 1776, and it has more room to grow in during the next cen tury and neither slavery nor back ward neighbors to trouble its pro gress. England gained and held her su premacy in international trade while her domestic tariff was so highly pro tective that she did not-allow America or Ireland to have any manufactures at all. Thxre are 19G women operators in the great operating room of the West ern Union in New York. In this room a husband and wife are working side by side. They are perfectly matched in skill, but the man gets $15 more a month than the woman. There's the nib. 'Wiiex Benjamin Harrison looks at one of the dead ducks that fell a vic tim to his marksmanship does it re mind him of anythiug in politics?" asks the Chicago Herald. Of course it does. The glassy eyas and the ruffled feathers of Grover Cleveland are always before him. A Maine contemporary tells of a merchant in Augusta who examines every package left in his store, whether ho has any business to or not. The other day an acquaintance, knowing liis failing, left a paper bag of hornets in the merchant's store, to bo "kept safely until called for," with results that may easily be guessed. Oxe of the great feats of the rail way engineering of the time is being performed in northern Queensland. A lino is being constructed from Cairns to the tin mines of Herberts town. It is costing 8200,000 to$2o0, 000 per mile. A whole range of moun tains has to be crossed and the trams will pass over perilous precipices and yawning chasms. Consul Turner writes from Cadiz to the state department that farming in Spain is in a primitive state. Grain is cut with a small reaping hook and thrashed as in the time of t he Caesars, by tramping it out with asses hitched to a stone boat The plow is a crooked stick pointed with iron. In the towns are to be seen heavy wooden carts drawn by oxen. Most of the carrying, transferring, etc., is done by donkeys. Sand, brick, lumber in fact, almost everything that has to be moved is carried on their backs. It is dificult to conceive that, for many reasons, a man writes much bet ter than he lives. For, withont en tering into refined speculations, it may be shown to bo much easier to design than to perform. A man pro poses his scheme of life in a state of abstraction and disengagement, ex empt from the enticements of hope, the solicitations of affection, the im portunities of appetite, or the de pressions of fear, and is in the same state with him that teaches upon the land the art of navigation, to whom the sea is always smooth, and the wind always prosperous. Nothing is more unjust, however common, than to charge with hypocrisy he that ex presses zeal for those virtues which he neglects to practice; since he may be sincerely convinced of the advant ages of conquering his passious, with out having yet obtained the victory; as a man may be confident or the ad vantage? of a voyage or a journey, without having courage or industry' to undertake it, aud may honestly recommend to others those attempts which he neglects himself.

PEESIDENT HAREISOFSMESSAGE Some Statesmanlike Utterances. Straight American Doctrine Enunciated. Washington, Dec. 3. President ' Harrison's message was received hero ' to-day. In it he alludes in terms of fact that all the states of North and South America met together to con- sider measures that bind them to- gether. He also alludes to the assem- bling of the maritime conference and recommends that Hayti and Hawaii ' be included in the invitation to the nations, The Samoan conference also ' is pleasantly spoken of. Our relations ! with England are consigned to exist ing treaties, and the president ex presses a hope that they will be equit ably adjusted. A revision of the tar iff is also recommended. Money circu lation, Chinese exclusion act. coast defenses and sundry subjects of na tional interest are treated at length. In relation to rivers and harbors, he says: Improvement of our important , ill t-AO (AUIA liULLUlO OUUU1U JG piU" moted by necessary appropriations. Care should be taken that government is not committed to prosecution of works not of public and general ad TTTa-fd OT41 ltnilAr3 PttAlllH V - . ? vantage, and that the relative useful- ness of works of this class is not over- looked so far as this work can ever be j said to be completed. 4'I do not doubt j that the end would be sooner and . more economically reached if fewer separate works were undertaken and at the same time those selected for ; their -greater general interest were . more rapidly pushed to completion." I "Work once considerably began ' should not be subjected to risk and. unffieiflnfc nnnrmirinfinns nerossiirilv ,i iX x occasion. . In relation to the Brazilian events ' the president says the recent revolt in .Brazil in favor of the establishment of a republican form of government is an event of great interest to tho United States. Our minister at "Rio de Janeiro was at once instructed to maintain friendly diplomatic relations i with the provisional government, and tbp "Rro?;!; innrAcrmi.ifirM nf. tin's I ;foi nra ;ef nrtfoi ir i, r-r,- ! sional government to continue their i functions. Our friendly intercourse with Bra zil has therefore suffered no interrup tion. Our minister has been further in structed to extend on the part of tliia rrrvrornmnnt fnrmnl mifl rnnlifil recognition of the new republic. So! soon as a majority ot the people or Brazil shall have signified their ab sent to its establishment and main tenance. In conclusion the president says: "In an advocacy of economy in our national expenditures it is but a inis- i take to make this word describe the policy that withholds the expenditure for the purpose of extending our for eign commerce. Enlargement and improvement of our merchant marine, development of a sufficient body of trained American seamen: promotion of rapid and regular mail communi cation between the ports of other countries and our own, and the adoption of large and swift American merchant steam-' ships to naval uses in time of war, are public purposes of the high- i est concern. The enlarged partici pation of our people in the carrying j trade, new and increased markets that will open for the products of our farms and factories fuller and better employment of our mechanics which will result from liberal promotion of our foreign commerce, insure, the wid est possible diffusion of benefits to all states and our people." "Ji.verything is most propitious for the present inauguration of a liberal and progressive policy upon this sub-, ject and we should enter upon it with promptness and decision. The legis lation which I have suggested it is . sincerely believed vill promote the ( peace and honor of onr country and ' the prosperity and security of our people."
