THE AUTOCRAT OF THE STATE.
A CORDIAL INVITATION.
t
If Mr. McLeod. of the Heading coal
". trust, will consult the liverymen of Chi
. cago he may learn something of his finan
cial advantage. The Pennsylvania deal
ers in anthracite diamonds may be fairly
good at mulcting the public, but they
-will probably be willing to concede the
palm in that line to the man who can
coolly ask $22 a day for a carriage and
pair. - Moreover the coal men have been
reasonably polite as compared with the
autocrat of the stable. Moderately rais
ing the price of coal 50 cents a ton at a
time, they prepare the victim for his fate
and induce poverty by easy stages, so to
peak. The Chicago liverymen, however,
without warning and apparently by a j
common inspiration, send rates up in
day 75 to 120 per cent. In point of
principle there is little to choose between
the two methods, but the average
American prefers to know it in advance
ifhemust.be robbed. Of course only
one result can follow such preposterous
charges as the Chicago carriage-renters
demand the public will find other
means of transportation, or from a dread
of cholera will send their regrets and re
main away from Chicago during the
lair. Walking may be bad in the crowd
ed garden city, but certainly not so
bad as paying outrageous prices for
traveling on wheels. In the end it may
appear that the avaracious carriage
owners combine have done a service by
exposing their hands sis months before
the real opening of the fair. It may ap
pear that the Chicago public is opposed
to seeing its guests subjected to such in
famous practices. The public may de
mand that all carriages for hire be
licensed and permitted to charge only
reasonable fixed prices. In that event
-the city would be saved the scandal of
extortion within its gates.
At the meeting' of the Oregon Press
Association last night, an invitation was
received from Messrs. Dwyer and Burke
to hold the next meeting at the, new
town of Flavel, ten miles below Astoria,
at the mouth of the Columbia river.
Flavel is one ot the most convenient and
beautiful spots on the Columbia, con
taining fine parks and groves, and easily
accessible by steamer and rail. It is on
the line of the Astoria and Portland rail
road, and from it all points on Clatsop
and Long beaches, in Oregon and Wash
ington, can be reached in a few minutes
ride. When the Souverign Grand Lodge
of Odd Fellows met in Portland this
year, a delegation of 1,800 went to Flavel
and were entertained at a gigantic clam
bake, which has never been equalled on
the coaBt. During the fishing and bath
ing season no better place can Deselected
for business and pleasure. Messrs.
Dwyer and Burke, who send the invita
tion, are royal entertainers. They are
men of business, have ample means, and
will take an unusual pleasure in pro
viding everything that will contribute
to the success and comfort of the asso
ciation. They can be relied upon to
give the Oregon Press association such a
reception as has never been vouchsafed
them in Oregon.
Jackson Richards, Master Mechanic
a ' of the New York division of the Read
ing, and a resident of Philadelphia, has
received notice from his attorney that
the Patent office has decided to grant
him a patent for his improved steam lo
comotive. Mr. Itichards says that
complete model of his improved engine
working under full steam will be placed
on public exhibition within two weeks,
He claims for the engine a speed of 80
miles an hour and a saving of at least 25
per cent, on the wear and tear of the
road-bed. Its driving wheels will have
no weights or balances such as the en
gines have in use at present. There
will be four cylinders, and a desirable
feature will be its exceeding simplicity
of construction and arrangement. The
single rail locomotive on exhibition at
the Portland exposition, the invention
of Dr. Mnimim, makes 01 miles by a
similar test, itt a saving of 45 per cent.
Oregon is ahead of Reading in this particular.
IS MASTER OF HIS IDEAS.
In commenting upon the Astoria and
Portland collapse (so called) a contem
porary says: "The. real estate boom
which the projectors of the enterprise
expected to precipitate didn't show up.
It flattened out early. Captain Flavel
is about the only man who has pulled
anything out of the pot, and he was not
a subscriber to the railroad subsidy.
Luck just hit him off-hand. He un
loaded his property at a big price and
got over $100,000 of it in cash. It will
be a great misfortune for Astoria to have
their railroad enterprise nipped in the
bud, but perhaps new hands will take
hold of it and put it through some day."
It is true that Uapt. flavel was not a
subscriber to the railway subsidy, and
he may have made $100,000 out of the
Tanzy point boom ; but so far as Astoria
enterprise is concerned that has been
"nipped in the bud" before by this
same species of frost. The recuperative
quality of Astoria's genuine unadultera
ted "enterprise" will require something
more killing. It is very much like the
ghost of Banquo.
The democrat in and populist party of
Idaho, ly the tiling of lists of electoral
candidates in the office of the secretary
of state have completed a fusion of those
two parties. How democrats and silver
republicans of Idaho can vote for Weaver
is not plain. The populist party both
by platform and interpretation of ora
tors; See Penoyer; is free trade. If
silver republicans in Idaho support free
trade and that policy prevails, lead ores
will be admitted free and the tunnels of
the Idaho mines will be corked. On the
other hand, can democrats support a free
silver coinage policy? Or do our neigh
bors intend to ''give up principle," for
the sake of present success? It looks
that wav.
A Puget sound paper referring to the
loss of the whaleback Wetmore says:
"The first experience with this style of
vessel has proven a disastrous failure in
ound traffic, and although its promoters
are not in the least discouraged, it will
require much labor and expense to es
tablish the whaleback in favor with the
shipping public, or insurance agents."
The. Wetmore has been a success in
every particular, as was shown by Tns
Chronicle more than a week ago, as a
carrier, on the score of economy, and
lastly by withstanding the thumping
she has on the coast near Coos bay.
The construction yards, eaBt and in
Europe, prove this year that the whale
back is already established in favor
with the shipping public.
Gov. Russell, of Massachusetts, wants
an hour fixed on Columbus day when
all the school children of the republic
shall join in singing "My Country 'tis of
Thee." It is a grand idea, but it will
require a pretty careful adjustment of
watches and clocks to carry it but and
some of the children will have to sit up
pretty late at night, while others will be
compelled to get up very earlv in the
morning if they sing exactly together,
In view of this fact and of the other fact
that the children in the different locali
ties cannot possibly hear each other,
why would it not be as well for them to
sing constructively together by all be
ginning at noon local time? The effect
will be quite imposing.
Mr. Howells will begin in the Novem
ber Cosmopolitan, a department under
the attractive title : "A Traveler from
Altruria." Those who have seen the
first two papers think they will equal in
interest and in their wide appeal to all
classes, the breakfast table paperB of Dr.
Holmes. In order to give the necessary
time to this work, Mr. Howells has
turned over the detail editorial work to
Mr. Walker.
No jealousy can be attributed to the
Eugene Journal on account of location,
because of its comments upon the Port
land exposition and the late Salem show
It says: "The Portland exposition
opened last Wednesday evening "in a
blaze of glory" in the midst of 10,000
people. It bids fair to be an improve
ment on the very attractive and complete
exposition of last year, and will be in
striking contrast with the horse races
which took place at Oregon's capital
recently nnder the name of a "state
fair." The Portland fair is worth going
, hundreds of miles to see, and is not sup
ported by the state treasury."
A gentleman just from Kansas says
the crops have been very good and the
farmers are selling freely. The corn
crop, which it was thought was going to
be very inferior, will be very fair, and
. in some sections the best they have ever
had. The farmers have been getting
big prices, thirty to thirty-five cents per
: bushel, for their corn. He says Oregon
and Oregon weather never seemed so
pleasant to him as since his stay in
.ICanaas. .
The Telegram says the Astoria and
Portland railway has collapsed. This is
the biggest mistake the Telegram could
possibly make. The report that the S.
P. Ry. and Collis P. H. are at the back of
it, is a still greater error; unless one
counts them a very long way "back of
it."
The tandem compound cylinder loco
motive, which the Brooks locomotive
works have constructed! for the Great
Northern, after various tests at the
works, was taken to Buffalo, September
30th, and will be placed in regular ser
vice on the lake shore to demonstrate
the merits of the tandam compound.
A specimen of float tin has been
brought into Pendleton from the John
Day country. The Tribune says it is
supposed that the mother ledge is in
close proximity, although it has not yet
been discovered. A thorough search is
to be made for it at once.
The report that certain immigrants
arriving at Philadelphia have been com
pelled to take a bath will do more to
check immigration than all the procla
mations that can be framed.'. .'
Beyond question Mr. Harrison's letter
of acceptance is the strongest paper of
its kind which has appeared in our his
tory. There has been no other case
where a president has grown so rapidly
in public estimation. No other presi
dent in time of peace has shown such
versatile ability in dealing with the
questions which arise in the administra
tion of government. No other has shown
greater promptitude in acting when the
questions under consideration involved
the issues of war. As the president
tersely says: . "The strength of our
cause and not the strength of our adver
sary has given tone to our correspond
ence." When Mr. Harrison was first nomina
ted, the country did not know him ex
cept as a good soldier, a most reputable
senator and a politician prominent and
influential in a pivotal western state.
When be began, after nomination, to
speak to every delegation which pre
sen ted itsejf upon any question which
they might chance to propose, and with
out evading a straightforward declara
tion concerning each, the old politicians
of the party, were thrown into daily
chills of apprehension, which were some
time in wearing off.
There have been no subsequentattacks.
The country has come to understand
that Mr. Harrison is master of his ideas
and his words, thoroughly grounded in
every question of policy and fully capable
of avoiding every species of mistake.
Next came that marvelous succession of
speeches in the trip to the Pacific. No
public man had ever before been subject
ed to such a test. It is doubtful whether
there is, or has been, another who could
successfully undergo that test. When
it was ended, the country first began to
know the President.
. Next came his courageous, practical
and business-like dealing with foreign
affairs. In the midst of most delicate
and Eerious negotiations with Great Brit
ain. Mr. Blaine was taken sick and
obliged to leave the city. Mr. Harrison
took np the question where it rested,
and, in almost daily letters to the Eng
lish minister, pushed England to the
wall with a vigor and a business rapid
ity which was entirely new to the diplo
matic methods of that country. So he
dealt with Chili ; so with Canada, and
today our vessels of war are on their way
to see why Venezuela has violated the
safe-guard of our flag.
So, step by step, and by rapid steps,
the country has come to know and ap
preciate its president. His letter is the
crowning development of this growing
acquaintance. It shows him grasping
all questions of national policy with a
breadth and clearness of view which
brine them within comprehension of
every mind of ordinary intelligence.
His statement of them is an overwhelm
ing arraignment of the democrats for
attempting to overthrow an American
system, which has brought national
greatness and comfort and prosperity to
the masses. It is an arraignment which
will ring in every corner of the land up
to the dav of victorv in November.
The Parti and Exposition.
The Union Pacific system will extend
to its patrons the usual reduced rates on
round trip tickets which will include ad
mission to the exposition, selling on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Fridays of each
week. Detailed information can be bad
