The 'ew Commander.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles, who is to
succeed Brigadier General 0. O.
Howard in command of the de
partment bf Columbia, is compli
mented as follows by the Bismarck
Tribune. "The Northwest loses
in the person of Miles one of its
truest friends. His interview at
St. Paul shows that he never neg
lects an opportunity to speak
kindly of the people of the North
west of its people and its pros
pects. Because this is so, it is
possible that being called to a
higher station he may be able to
lo us more good than he could
Jiave done by remaining. Cioak
crs may say what they will, tht
Jndian troubles are praetically
ended. It only needs common
sense in management, and justice
in treatment, to end forever the
Indian troubles of the United
States, and Gen. Miles deserve-?
much credit for the long btrides
made by eur government to
ward the peint where this hope
may be realized. Give the Indian
something to live for, and punish
him certainly and severely fV hi
.crimes, and his thoughts will turn
from war to home and family.
There are no people on earth more
warmly attached to home and
friends than the Indians, and none
have greater pride in their posses
sions. Gen. Miles has taught them
to respect the government; urged
them to learn to labor, and en
couraged them to break their tribal
relations to be men; to become
citizens. "With little force and
great kindness he accomplished far
more than has heretofore been
gained at the sacrifice of thousands
of lives and millions of treasure,
and he leaves this district with the
love and respect of every man in
it. They will watch his course in
the future with interest and pride.
It is stated that the $3,000,000
appropriated for the census bureau,
will be insufficient to carry the
work through, and a further appro
priation will be asked for. r
It is proposed to lay two Ameri
can Atlantic cables, to be con
trolled in America and not in
England, and the entire amount
of funds requisite for the under
taking has been subscribed. Jay
Gould, in New York, has led the
project.
The telegraph dispatch to the
effect that letters and newspapers
are received in the city of Mexico
from San Francisco in six days,
if directed "via Galveston, Texas,
and the Mwrgan line," would seem
to be progression. It is a state
ment made by an American Tiring
in the city of Mexico, and we take
it for granted as being a fact.
The announcement seemed to
"knock the ground from under us,"
so to speak, says the Alta, bring
ing us within less than a week of
the Halls of Montezumas. And
here we have been living so near
-to our next neighbor, yet being in
the matter of receiving or sending
news, farther away than the peo
ple of Europe, the Germans, Eng
lish and French, who have been
allowed to secure nearly all the
trade of that country, which nat
urally belonged to our own mer
.chants and traders, or should have
lone so. "When such oversight
and obliviousness of what should
have been patent to ever' trader
and merchant, is considered, thisJ
country may well feel "ratified
that some of our railroad magnates
and capitalists have started out in
dead earnest to unite the two na
tions by lines of steel rails, which
we hope will also serve as cement
ing links in the chain of inter
national friendship and mutual
benefit.
"AH citizens of Oregon who desire
to inform their friends in the states of
the condition and progress of this state,
can have no more complete and compre
hensive volume ot tacts to senu mem
and haVmsc us mail it weekly to their
'friends. We mail it as directed. For
$5 00 In advance, we mail three copies
M of The weekly astoki an one year.
Gen. Andersons Trip.
Concerning the recent trip of
Gen. Anderson, chief engineer of
the Northern Pacific, from Glen-
dive, in eastern Montana, to Spo
kane falls, a buckboard journey of
S00 or more miles, a Montana cor
respondent of the Pioneer Press
sa3s:
There was nothing notable in
Anderson's trip until he reached
the Rockies west of Helena.
There he found a new pais
Priests', recently discovered. It
has great advantages over the ld
Deer lodge pass, and will probablv
save the company many miles of
the costliest railroad building, hi
western Montana, Anderson had to
abandon his buckboard and mount
a pon', accompanied by a guide
on another pony, with one hundred
pounds of flour, bacon, ami a pair
oi blankets each for their spring
mattresses, for a couple of weeks.
The veteran engiueer. without es
cort, explored the divisions of the
Northern Pacific. He safely scal
ed all obstacles, found a feasible
route, met the boys working on
the Pen d'Orielle division, and
passed down the Columbia river to
Portlaud. He started from Port
land last week for San Francisco,
and hence by rail across the con
tinent. The discovery of Priests
pass is of great commercial value
to Helena, as it brings the North
ern Pacific and its interests to the
Denver of the northwest.
School Examination.
Teacher: Are pro and
con
synonymous or opposite terms?
Pupil: Adverse.
Teacher: Illustrate the differ
ence between them.
Pupil: Progress and congress.
Teacher: Correct.
Sutro says he did n't go to Carson
to make a senatorial fi"hL
"Mj sermont shall stand on dose
three pints," siiid a colored preach or
not many Sundays age: "1, the ex
poundin,' 2, the enlartfin'; and 3, the
arousin'."
A cortain lawyer was compelled
to apologize to the court. With state
ly dignity he rose in his place and said:
"Your honor is right and 1 am wrong,
as your honor generally is." The
judge hardly knew whether to feel
happy or tine the lawyer for contempt
of court.
Carlyle lent the manuscript of his
history of the French revolution to a
friend, through whose negligence a
servant used it for kindling a fire.
He says that for three days and nights
he could not sleep, but was like a man
daft. Then he went into the country
and for three months did nothing but
read MarryaU novels. Then, he says,
"1 set to and wrote it all over again;
but I dinna think it's the same; no, I
dinna think it's the same."
From the almost daily reports of
robberies occurring in the small towns
of the valley, and other sections, it is
evident that there is an organized
gang of thieves working the country,
and residents of the different places
should keep a vigilant guard over
their premises. The recent robberies
at Oregon city and Scio, and the at
tempt to rob the safe of a hotel at
Vancouver, is doubtless the work of
an organized gang. '
"When you drive a nail into a
wall, clothes press or closet, to hang
things on, drive it through a spool up
to the head. Select a spool large
enough, so that the nail will not split
it." This is the sage advice given by
an exchange. Now just imagine a
woman on a three-legged stool, spoo
in one hand, hammer in the other, and
a nail in her mouth. One or the other
must ''go to the wall," and the chances
are it will be the woman.
