ASTORIA'S LATSST SENSATION.
One of the most outrageous crimes
in the history of the Northwest is re
corded in Aetoria,in the caw of Darius
Norris, who was shanghaied not in a
staonr of drubkennessr but at the
point of a revolverabout March 1,
1891. The conspirators seem to have
been an attorney by the name of Car
penter and the then Chief of Police
Barry. Norris had some property left
hint and these villains, on the threat
of death, inveigled him to sign it over
to them and then placed him on board
ship bound for Dunkirk, Frarce,
with the threat of sudden death if be
ever returned. They secured as a
bounty from the ship captain $180 as
blood money, to be taken out of their
victim's salary, leaving him at the end
of his voyage only a few dollars and
in a strange country and away from
his family. Norris has been eighteen
months getting home and this only
through the persistent efforts of bis
friends. In the meantime Barry has
been removed from office, and the new
chief, assisted by Sheriff Smith, have
been diligently at work ferreting out
the crime and the guilty par
ties are being rapidly brought
to justice. Carpenter, as soon
he heard Norris was on his way
home, immediately deeded the prop
erty back to Norris' heirs and departed
for San Francisco, where he was ar
rested a few days ago and brought
back to Astoria. Norris returned to
that town a few days ago and related
the whole affair to the authorities, and
his story ought to make a strong scaf
fold for the punishment of his perse
: cutors. ' ' -
TEE GOLDEN PERIOD.
Gen." Stevenson, the democratic
candidate for vice-president, bas been
eulogising the rule of the democracy
during the last period in the history
of the nation in which it had full
awing at the government. He speaks
of the ten years immediately preced
ing the war of the rebellion as "the
golden period of our history." At the
closing part of that 'golden period"
James Buchanan was a very promi
nent democrat in fact he was the
president of the United States and
was supposed to be authority in mat
ters pertaining to the condition of the
country, is on record concerning that
period, or the closing years thereof, as
follows: "Our manufactures have sus
pended, our public works are retarded,
thousands of laborers are thrown out
of employment, and our country's
monetary interests are in a deplorable
condition." What do the people think
of the closing years of "the golJen
period," as represented by the then
leading democratic apostle, and of the
times when bank bills were about as
worthless as the bank notes of the
Southern Confederacy at the close of
the wart Do the people desire a return
of this "golden period" a return to
the condition of these good old demo
cratic times? If they do, it is pre
samed they will put forth their best
efforts to secure the election of Cleve
land and Stevenson the men who
lacked the manly courage and patriot
ism of many other democrats to go to
the front and fight for the preservation
of the union of these great and glorious
United States, but sent substitutes,
while they remained at home to de
clare the war a failure and that the
' southern states should be allowed to
secede. The election of Cleveland
and Stevenson and a democratic con-,
gresa might go far toward bringing
about those "good old times" that
"golden period" described by James
Buchanan;
A CONSCIENTIOUS DEMOCRAT.
There are conscientious democrats
to be found occasionally. George
Ticknor Curtis, who is now a man of
four score years, Was in his day a great
lawyer, and bis contributions to litera
ture have been very considerable. The
extreme free-tradeism of the Chicago
convention) and its utter disregard of
law as well as of facts, have aroused
bis indigaalioh. The following is the
main passage of his article in the
American Economist, which both ex
poses and denounces the democratic
platformt "In common with many
other democrats, 1 cannot follow the
leaders of the party in denouncing re
publican protection as a fraud Upon
the labor of the great majority of the
American people for the benefit Of the
few ; nor Can I subscribe to the doc
trine that a protective tariff is uncon
stitutional. I have no pecuniary in
terest in manufactures, but I know
what protection lias done and is doing
iw raw wumrj.' u it operates ior me
benefit of the few, I am not one of
that few. 1 am one ot the manv one
of the great majority benefited by it,
l -i.j. .1 .
luciuuing uiose who denounce it ior
the sake of obtaining political power.
If the leader of a political party
assembled in national convention for
the purpose of nominating a candi
date for the presidency and vice-presidency
choose to stultify themselves by
falsifying history, they cannot expect
to he followed by others who have any
habit of independent thought and action."
Down in Georgia the other day, at
the conclusion of oandidate Weaver's
speech, when a negro rose to contra
niot the general's radical statements
the former got so indignant that
negro should attempt to answer him
that he left the platform. It seems
that the colored people of the South
do not apprecinte the stand Weaver
has taken, notwithstanding the net
of his being one of their outspoken
exponents during the late unpleasant
ness. Besides, the candidate's actum
in leaving the platform fur the reason
above stated, bIiows that he is not au
loyal American when he draws the
"color line" on American citixens.
The people of the South have no use
for Weaver and Mrs. Lea so, as has
been shown by their withdrawal from
the Southern field of politics. The
South is as solid now as it ever was,
and the vain hope of the peoples party
(0 carry some of the Southern states
is disproved by the treatment accorded
their standard bearers during their
campaign in that section.
There has been much talk concern
ing the danger of the cholera being
brought to this country by disease
infected garments, wastes, etc. It may
not be amiss to refer to the fact that
the Springer free wool bill, passed by
the democratic house and pigeon-holed
by the protectionist senate, placed all
rags on the free list. There seems to
be nothing inappropriate in this, as
free trade, pauperised labor and free
rags go naturally together.
The Colaaabta Connty Exhibit.
The Columbia county World's Fair
committee are busily at work under the
supervision of Mrs. A. J. Conyers, of
Ciatskanie, in co-operation with the
state committee. This county has
been granted space with the state ex
hibit for z boxes, to contain trees and
plants as follows: Five yellow fir, five
hemlock, five cedar, hve Oregon grape,
five spruce trees, and two brakes and
two ferns, each placed in separate
boxes. The trees are to be not less
than five feet high, and are simply
specimens of the timber grown in the
county. The exhibit will be prepared
this fall, the trees planted in boxes
and cared for during the winter so
that they will have an early and
thrifty growth in the spring. The
state committee will attend to the
shipping of them to Chicago next
spring, so that we will have no other
expense except to get the articles
ready. They will be kept at Banier
this winter and shipped to Portland in
the spring, whence they will be ship
ped to Chicago.
Every person in Columbia should be
materially interested in this move
ment, for good results are sure to come
in return. There is no better way to
advertise the connty than by sending
samples of onr nntural resources to
the (Treat fair. When we consider
that timber is our chief product, of
which we have an abundance, the priv
ilege by the state committee of being
permitted to send samples of that
product is bigbly appreciated by our
people in general. Let every one who
can contribute something to neip mis
commendable effort along.
A LIVE CITY.
The Town of Ciatskanie as a Busi
ness Center.
The editor enjoyed a conple of days' ra-
cation in the lower end of the connty the
first of the Week, Ciatskanie being the ob-
jectiTe point It is five years since onr last
yistt to that city, and a great many lm
provements of a substantial character have
resulted in the meantime. Where five
years ago there were two stores, a ware
house and a conple of dwellings, today
there is in existence an incorporated city of
probably 300 or 400 inhabitants, represent
ing all classes of business from the chem
ist's laboratory to sawmills of large capa
city. There are now four large gederal
merchandise stores, operated respectively
by Cbarles Gorame, E. W. Conyers, A. F.
Myers and W. A. Edgerton. Among other
mercantile establishments are Dr. Hall's
drag store. Dr. Popbsm's laboratory, two
blacksmith shops, two hotels, thereat estate
and insurance agency of W. H. Conyers
Sc. Co., and various other establishments of
trade that usually go to make np a village.
The basis of all business in Ciatskanie
is the lumber trade, there being a number
of large sawmills in that valley , some of
which are In the citj proper, and furnish
employment to a great many men all the
year roundi This lumber is, in large part,
shipped to Portland, where the market at
this time is about np to the standard.
The latest and most ornamental as well
as important improvement in Ciatskanie Is
the new school building. It is just being
completed and contains four large rooms
two below and two above and an ante
room in front, supported by a wide porch.
From the ante-room the ascension to the
second story is made. The building stands
on an elevation of a good many feet above
the principal part of the city and overlook
ing mostof the beautiful and fertile Ciats
kanie valley. The lover ef pleturesqaeness
could not desire a more perfect landscape
than is offered from the school house.
Looking up the valley for miles the eye be
holds the green fields, interspersed with
clumps of green foliage, making it a most
attractive sight. Though constructed of
wood the product of that valley it is by
far the best public building in the county.
There is one other advantage that Ciats
kanie people enjoy over many other sec
tions of the county, and that is tbeir splen
did transportation facilities, having two of
the best steamers plying the river making
regular daily trips into that port. The
Shaver and Sarah Dixon have few superiors
for speed and their owners have no equal
for accommodation and straightforward
business tact, which the people along the
route and in Ciatskanie In particular ap
preciate. They are a I ways ready to f u rniih
the best service possible to their patrons.
Catskanle, although a comparatively new
city, perhaps does a larger business than
any other town in Columbia county.

stage and dressing rooms, which add

WASHINGTON LETTER.
(From our regular correspondent.)
Washington, September 23, 1802.
The greatest week in the history of tba
great organization, the Grand Army of the
Republic, ends today. Within that week
bas been crowded much that never will be
forgotten by those who came to tbe en
campment, either as participants or spec
tators. The big parade was alone worth
traveling around tbe world to see. It can
never be duplicated, as many ot the eighty
thousand veterans who proudly marched
np historic Pennsylvania avenue will never
attend another encampment. It was a liv
ing lesson in our country's history to the
rising generation that will always be re
membered with pleasure. And think you
that anybody who saw that living United
States flag formed of nearly 1,000 school
children and listened to the songs of patri
otism and welcome with which their tire
less and fresh young voices greeted almost
continuously for seven hours the veterans
as tbey marched past can ever forget the
scene T This singing flag idea was so
unique, and withal so enjoyable, that its
originator ought to be specially honored In
some way by the O. A. B.
Washington is prond of its encampment
record, as it has every right to be. It has
disappointed tbe croakers at home and
abroad, and shown that it has no superiors
and few if any equals as a host; and, mind
yon, it is no small task to satisfactorily en
tertalo a crowd that more than doubles a
city's population. Hundreds of veterans
who are regular attendants at the annual
encampments say that other cities have
treated them well, but none have ever
treated them so well as Washington has
done. The veterans were made to feel that
Washington belonged to them, and during
the entire week there was a good-natured
rivalry among Washingtonians to see who
could do the most to enhance the favorable
impression made upon the veterans when
thev arrived. The work of the local com
mittee has been wonderful. It exhibited
to the visitors the most handsomely decor
ated city they had ever seen. It furnished
40 Years the Standard,
free sleeping qusrtsrs to 56,luO veterans and
arranged for an ample supply of food for
tliem at reasonable prices. It Introduced
for the pleasure of the visitors an entirely
new method ot fanoy electric Illumination
for streets. It arranged a system of re
unions, with tho aid of flcn. Palmer and
his stair, that was a decided improvement
In that line. It gave an exhibition of Hire
works as fine ss ever seen in Washington.
It stationed courteous clerks wherever It
was thought Information might be desired
by veterans. In short. If anything was
left undone that might have added to the
comfort of its guests. It was because no
body had suggested It to the committee.
The president, who returned to the White
Hons in company with Mrs. Harrison (who
b still m a critical condition) Wednesday
morning, was in no frame ot ndud to take
any part In the entertainments for bis com
rades, but he was pleated to know tout
everything had been so enjoyable to them,
and ha so expressed himself to the com
mittee. Vice-President Morton, who took the
president's place in receiving the parade,
said: I am delighted. Everything bas
been perfect.
Secretary Tracy : It Is the greatest thing
out.
Secretary Charles Foster: This Is un
doubtedly tho biggsst week in the history
ot the O. A. K.
Attorney-General Miller: Why, this is
tbe biggest tiling in tbe universe. It sur
passes belief. It is highly creditable to cit
izens and soldiers.
Postmaster-General Wanamaker: It's a
great occasion. I am proud ot my state
and ber soldiers, proud of my country,
and proud that I am entitled to wear the
badge of theU. A. It.
Gen. Schoneld: Accustomed all my life
to military affairs, I am astonished at this
demonstration. It Is a revelation.
Gen. B. F. Butler: Great Is the only
word for it I should havo come to this
encampment it it had been necessary to
come on a stretcher.
Ex-President R. B. Hayes: I expected
something big, but I confess that I have
been astonished.
Senators Mandcrson, Hawley and Palm
er, all members of the senate military com
mittee, agree in pronouncing the parade the
greatest ot the G. A. R., and everybody
votes "aye" with them. ,
Partisan politics were tabooed during the
encampment, bat It required no special
effort to ascertain that Mr. Cleveland and
his copperhead associate on the democratic
ticket has few it any friends among the
rank and file of the G. A. K. The veterans
cannot forget. If they wanted to, the treat
ment of hundreds of their poor and de
serving comrades at the bands of Mr. Cleve
land when he was president
