Cz gftc J3uihj stovlntu ASTORIA. OREGON: THURSDAY JAN. 27. 1SS1 .C. IKKI.AVD Editor. Tho T.xk jincl St i.miU road has at last reached Coiicano, j which it "204 miles from Tcxarkana. New station ate feeing located, and trains will soon run regularly. Cotton is being brought in in large quantities and shipped north. There are imw six electric light companies in Xew York the Brush, Edison, Maxim. Sawyer, duller, .lablechholl'. The Brush .company seem- to be tli best organized, for it is in running -onler, with a capital stock of 4100,000. A movement is on foot in .San Francisco Ui start a cotton mill in that city. With good financial backing and competent manage ment such an enterprise ought to be successful. California has room fbr a large number of i naun fruit ur ing interests. Mej) who are hoping that fome time and somehow in the great future good will come to them out of the evil habits which they form and cultivate here, should remem ber that in whatever fields they sow the seed, in those and in no other will their harvest grow. There was a curious sort of din ner at London the other da3', dis tinguished electrician- being the guests. In the center of the table -was a covered dish, alleged to eon lain a ugy hinotus," fresh from a river in South America. The chairman, instead of saying grace, spoke to the dish as if asking some one there to ask the usual blessing. Then a solemn, but distinct voice was heard, apparently coining from the dish repeating the favorite .form. The cover was then raised and there was a telephone, some body at the other end having per .formed the pious service. Over a year ago Samuel J. Bridge gave to the city of San Francisco $2000, the interest of jwhich he desired to have expended for medals to be gven to the most aaeritorious boys graduating from the public schools. The superin tendent of schools has therefore announced that sixty silver medals will be distributed in the manner designated in May next, and all good boys are consequently ex pected to study themselves into weak eyes, headaches and bad health, while the bad boys will continue their sinful ways with tops and balls and sturdy health, and no medals. A dispatch from New York says that it is stated on good authbrity that as soon as the executive com mittee of the International exhi bition procure the necessary legis lation at Washington to enable them to go ahead, the In wood site Trill be changed for the strip of land known as Fort Washington, near by, the advantages of which will be, first, a commanding front on the line of North river; and second, consequent facilities for adding to the attraction of the fair, including a naval exhibition 'of the latest improvements in naval architecture of the maritine nations of the world. Edward Everett gave utter ance to the follewing: "To road the English lagme well, to write with dispntch, next, legible hniid, and he master of tlie first four rules in arithmetic, o hs to dis pose of nt tMice, with acrunuy. every questMii f figures which comes up in practice I call this a rood education. And if you dd the ability to write pure j-muiiuat- ioil English, I regard it as an ex odlent ducatic. These are the tools. Vou can do much with litem, but you are hopeless with- ot them. They are the founda tion, and unless yoo begin with these, all ycur flashy attainment, little ndogyt and all other otogire and ofeophies art ostentations mb-bUh. Datitt on Bfljcotltng. Michael Davitt, the well known Irish agitator, who is regarded by some as anxious te supercede Par nell in the leadership of the land league movement, has been mak ing a noteworthy speech in Dub- i:iil-filui. Jie maintameil that crime had not increased in the Kmerald I le, and that reports of outrages mil been manufactured bv inter- iut estcd parties. He aHiimed that the land league never fostered nor approved of outrage.-. Two mil lions of people had attended the various land meetings. If their passions had been excited as their opponents alleged, there would lmve been x much heavier calendar of crime. A large section of the Irish people were face to face with starvation, yet notwithstanding ail these circumstances, there had been, during the past two years five homicides and a small number of attacks on" individuals. Mr. Davitt submitted a memorandum of '-instructions to orgauizers and officers of the branches of the land league.' This memorandum depreciated boycotting action by the branches, and said that evi dence was not wanting that num bers of men had joined and were joining the league who gave but a half-hearted allegiance to its full programme men who would go in for a compromise, and give a new lease of life to landlordism. It was resolved that when the gov ernment land bill is announced a national convention should be summuned to pronounce upon it. Mr. Davitt urged that there must be nocompromise with landlordism, and repudiated the three F's now advocated by many land agitators, and proposed a a remedial mea sure by the Gladstone government. Emigration in Italy. Fmigration as a national evil is sorely troubling Italian statesmen. Statistics prove to us that 1,10S, 000 emigrants left their overtaxed country between 18GS and 1S7S, having previously obtained certifi cates from the government, where as an unknown number annuailly depart without letting the govern ment know. And of all these it is estimated that one-quarter go away with the determination never to return. The contadiui leave in large uumbers. Of 20,000 emi grants registered in 1S7S, 8,000 were contadina. The largest con tingent is supplied by the prov ince of Venice, the next by Genoa, and the third by Lombard, ap parently in exact ratio to their former prosperity. Remedies are suggested from time to time. Statesmen talk of repopulating the wastes of Sardinia, but Signor Minutelli, in a lengthy speech the frther day, hit on a happier plan. Colonization, he said, under gov ennent superintendence was the only remedy against this falling to pieces of the Italian nationality. Moreover, he argued, the colon ists need not go to America or the Pacific isles: forty-eight hours of sea voyage would deposit the emi grants on the "Cyroniaca," so stud ded with remains of Roman colon ies. Furthermore, Xew Guinea, the basin of the Xvassa and the Zambesi territory were within easier reach; and Livingstone and Stanly, he concluded, both attest to the fertility and salubrity of these unknown regions. Two grammarians wore wrang ling the other da, one conteudinr Uwt it was only proper to say: "My wages i hih,' while the other noNly insiptcnl that the cor rect thin was, "My wjtgres are hib." Finally tliey btopped a day laborer, and Mibmicted the ques tion to him. M Which do vou say. l"or wages i hich,1 or Your waes are high? "Oh, off wid yer nMisenie, he sad, resuming h:a pick, yer naytber ov ye right; me wages is low, had luyk to it. In England tlte railway oompa niea insure the lives of the euiployefs and in case of death, their families are provided for. There is also a weekly allowance made when one of diem i sick, which it is propos uJ to extend to fifty weeks. The annual report of the pilot) commissioners shows that there were 1?S licensed pilots in active j sen ice belonging to New York I (besides fire temporarily suspend-1 ed) and twenty-oai pilot boats in i. use. During the year there were j on.'n ,1. ..:i..i : .1 rt Oi'UD CSJei jjiunru in ;i;m uui ui that port, on which were levied jes to the enormous amount ot WS,5U4 (,5- T,,'s &' :nS:U as the earnings of each boat dur ing the year, and $7-1 o7 a the amount paid by each ves-l on leaving and entering the port. Commenting upon these figures the New York Indicator -says: There is evidently some consola tion here for the mourners over our decaying shipping interests. We get something out of the foreign -arrying trade anyway, and for the mz of our "mercantile marine," i. mu-t be conceded that it ny woll at all events. We wonder how many of the merchant vessels that entered our port dur ing 1SS0 can show a profit on the year business of $30,000? The question naturally arises, in view of these figures, is it judicious to do all we can to. drive foreigu com merce from our port, because it cannot be carried on American ships? XEW TO-DAY.
