There is no necessity for Tin: Astokiax to explain its poitiou relative to existinjr necessities for speedy completion of the Cascade canal. "Ve are thoroughly understood on tlMit point. No more jaw-bone is wxntcl from us. We publish the Orcgoniaii's ar ticle entire, and endorse the re marks of our correspondent, with this simple additien: That in all times past Tiik Astoria x has bee.! as indefatigable in its efforts to make men see the necessity for this improvement as for .the im provement of the bar; "We propose to keep on at the same rate in future, and if ue can make the Oreuronian see its error in this as we have convinced it of the necessity for the bar 1111- wovements. something will have been accomplished. Personally, from the course re cently adopted by Dalles people towards the editor of Tiik A joniAN, we care but very iittle -whether the appropriation for the locks this winter is S.jUO.OOO or Jive cents. One thing1, however, is decided and certain; we think too much of Oregon to hope for less than $500,- 000, and if less than $500,000 is obtained, The Dalles and all east ern Oregon will be bottled up for the next ten, fifteen, or twenty 3'cars, just as Astoria is shut off all for the want of honest, confi dent feeling, towards the men who have done the most, and who are still persistent in doing all they can, for the irood of the entire state irrespective of politics, re ligion or locality. The Xorej Forgery. There is now full, though tardy, confession of the Morey forgery by the paper that first uttered it. It ought to be no gratification to anybody to have the fact recalled that this infamous act was made the basis of a desperate attempt to carry a presidential election. The paper .known as Truth, in admitting and retractiag the forgery, says it was imposed on br prominent men whose names it gives, and who were swift to bear witness that the letter was a genuine one. Perhaps this miser able afTair was the most despicable thing ever known in politics. Yet beyond doubt, forgery though it was, it gave General Hancock all the electoral votes he received out side the limits of the late southern confederacy. The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe company announces that that road and the Southern Pacific is .now completed and connected. The London correspondent of the New Yerk Times writes to that paper that the portrait of Gladstone in Scribner has given great satisfaction to the premier's family and friends. Apropos of the revision of the iiew Testament, now on the eve of publication in this country and in Europe, Scribner will contain three articles, one by Rev. Charles S. Robinson, D. "D., on The Bible Society and the new Revision, in -which the record of the society on this whole subject is traced with some care; the second br Professor George P. Fisher, of Yale college, showinjr how the new Testament has come down to us, and the third a review of the revision itself, in which the excellence and -thoroughness of the work of the American scholars will be pointed out. The first appears in the January number. t5rA.ll citizens of Orecon who desire io inform their friends m the states of the condition and progress of this state, can have no more complete and compre hensive volume of facts to send them than by subscribing for this journal, and having us mail it weekly to their friends. We mail it as directed. For 53 00 In advance, we mail three copies of The Weekly Astorian one year. Letter from Chemeketa. Eiutei: Antekiax: Ir. Klnurj- Is Drait.' This announcement, made in" the early hours of Saturday morning, sent a thrill of sorrow throughout the citv far exceeding that which usually accompanies the loss of a , me iuui n. citizen of whatever aire or position. ' Fora month past .Mr. Albert W.I Kinney had been suffering from' an attack of lung fever, but with! the best of care, m addition to the .lvf ,1 Mlm.lin.K r his hmthorc I UVIV1V.U MVVVP .-- -r....s,.

In Miisee Mr. Kinney was a public benefactor, the Salem mills sun id . a monument to his pmjrressivenejss ami enterprise, and lie had in contemplation public improvements which would benefit the entire city, lie was a constant member of the Baptist church, and the parsonage adjoining was a gift to the church from him, and lh;t way not the least of his good works for both pastor and people. His life was filled with acts of unob trusive kindness, and for fifteen yenr he lived among u blameless. To his wife and aged mother his loss is unspeakable and full of sorrow, and of the large circle of brothers and sisters he seemed to have been the eouusclor and ad viser. To those in his employ he was ever liberal, considerate and kind. A very large concourse gathered at Rural Cemetery on Sunday to pay their hist respects to all that was mortal of him, and tears dimmed the eyes of many a strong man as the soil fell "'ashes to ashes, and dust to dust," and turned back to busy life feeling that when the m! covered At.kkri W. Kixnky, a void was created in our city which can never be filled. But 'though gone, he will never be forgotten. Coiuplimriils r llic tami. New Year's Day proved to be as beautiful, sunshiny and cloud less as the most enthusiastic caller could desire, and all day long parties of gentlemen passed from house to house paying respects to lady friends and acquaintances, and leaving compliments in the shape of cards of every description and design known to the printer's art or the engraver's cunning. The inhospitable style of hanging out a basket was adopted only by a few. All housekeepers know it requires an outlay of time and skill to prepare for New Year's Calls, but as the gentlemen ask for one day only in the 3G5, they have a right to expect every courtesy at the hands of the ladies. Your correspondent acknow ledges compliments from The Astoimax for 1SS1. Taking a Llllle Nap. Salem is not nearly so dead as you may have been lead to suppose, not even sleeping soundly, only taking a little nap now and then; awakening refreshed with renewed freshness. It sometimes seems as if Somnus had been around sowing poppy seed, with a soporific effect. But the place has fewer vacant dwellings than for some time pre vious, and business is reallv thriv ing in every department. A pro ject to bring the passenger depot into the city and locate it near the Salem mills has been put forward, but the death of Mr. Kinney will doubtless retard it somewhat. The FrcmorSalrm. Our only newspaper, the States man; has tried the experiment of changing to an evening paper with indifferent success it appears, as it is to be again changed to morning edition. A morning paper is to breakfast wha't desert is to dinner, a luxury most desirable, ii not ab solutely indispensable. A resident of Astoria visiting this city ex pressed and justly surprise that we could not "afford" a morning daily. Why, said he if our little town down at the mouth of the river can support one, T should think the Capital might do so, which it proposes to do in future. The Astokian with its clear typo graphy, and choice spicy contents, is an ever welcome visitor at our ''sanctum.' Quotation from Bryant. Thinking of Astoria always re calls our sea-side lore. The sweet est singers atture their voices to chant of waves, and breakers and foam crests. Bryant says: "I look forth Over the boundless blue, where joyously The bright crests of innumerable waves Glance to the sun at once. 1 behold the shijis gliding from cape to cape, Or stetmni tig tow ard far lands, or haston- inir Home from the olrt world. It is thy friendly breeze. That hears them, with the riches of the land And treasure of dear lives, fill, in the port. The shouting seaman climbs and furls the sail." A poem which you may read in prose "down by the wharves" al- most any day in your little sea-side city.
