fzl i ii. i i-if t it tfirarfetfaaaMMMaateaSwar -tti ASTORIA. OREGON: SUNDAY . APRIL 17, 1881 . C. ICELAND Editor. Property In Washington. "Washington is not a commercial or manufacturing city. Its pro gress does not solely depend upon the business elements that are necessary for. the prosperity of other cities. Being the capital ot the Nation, there is centered the vast machinery of the United States government, wherewith the national affairs of over fifty mil lions of people are conducted. This requires the residence there of thousands of government officials and employes. The expen ditures to carry on the vast gov ernment business amount to a large sum. A general computa tion of this matter estimates that something over 1,500,000 is expended in Washington monthly, about 20,000,000 per year, which amount is disbursed throughout the community, and forms an im portant element in the business basis of Washingtons prosperity. This continues through dull as well as good times, and therefore local business interests are not subject to the total stagnation which af flicts other cities. The govern ment disbursements that monthly permeate throughout the commu nity are a permanent flow of leaven, which promotes the pros perity of the entire Distiict of Columbia. The destiiy of Wash ington Is fixed. Its progress, de velopment, and prosperity is in sured b' the whole country. As the United States increases in population, wealth and power, so will its National capital enlarge with its Nations growth. Our cities have rivals in their commerce and manufactures; Washington is alone the Nations capital. While other cities have certain limited districts of country tributary to their prospei ity, the whole coun try, in the matter of government business, which is yearly increas ing, contributes to the advance ment of Washington. The offi cers of the army and navy, ap pointed for life, are rapidly secur ing permanent homes for their families in Washington. The recent regeneration of the condition of the National capital from its former filth and repulsivc ness, to the present grand appear ance, is attracting persons of wealth and culture from all sections of the country, and foreign governments are making permanent investments in official residences for their am bassadors. Everv immigrant who lands on the shores of America, every acre of land located, every vessel sailing to our ports, every homestead occupied, every manu factory established, every mine opened in short, every increase of the industrial interests of the country, enlarges the government business at Washington. There never was a better time to make judicious investments. Real es tate is the true basis of all money wealth in the world, and the safest and most enduring fortunes result from investment therein. Some times it is not so rapid in its results as stocks, bonds, etc., but experi ence in chattel securities through out the country is having the effect to again call attention to sub stantial real estate investments, and no American city presents such superior inducements in that regard as Washington, especially since the United States has taken absolute charge of its government affairs, and thus guarantees its sta bility and prosperity. The United States is responsible for its future control and management; this puts its prosperity beyond all doubt, and assures and guarantees its progress and development by the whole power of the entire Nation, and thus secures a progress and permanence to all Tjusiness and property interests unknown to any other city in America. Next to Astoria we believe we should pre fer to own about a million or a mil lion and a half dollars worth of property in Washington. "Walt Whitman is said to be writing a new and tolerably long poem. Mr. L. P. Morton has been en larging the ball-room of his New port residence, at a cost of $10,000. Mr. Gladstone denies the state ment that lie intends to take a sea- trip during, the Easter recess of To a frftnd. There is no fight between As toria and Portland, my "Friend;" you will soo the argument in our editorial on Washington city to-day. There is but one Na tional capital; there is out one sea port for Oregon. Do not fail to acquire the proper discern ment needed to see the inevitable, else you will be left with those who are sure to fall in the rear. If yoifhave a real purpose to be friend us, you should call upon us, and we '11 talk over the matter. We prefer to have an amicable under standing but if forced into a fight against our will, as the old com modore said: If we are compelled to puncture the hulk, we shall take delight in looking through the aperture till one or all sinks out of sight and in this case do not fool yourself; it will not be us. We feel great confi dence that our shot can make the biggest hole. Tin: Astoriax has laid aside all petty jealousies and is for Oregon Portland included. Don't you forget it. Anti-Chinese Immigration. The Norwegian ship Beta, Capt. R. Ghristenson, which lately ar rived at San Francisco, brought from Drammen, Norway, a load of passengers for the Hawaiian islands. Leaving Drammen on the 27th of October, last year, they arrived at Honolulu on the 17th of February last. The num ber of passengers embarking in Norway, women and children in cluded, were three hundred and fifty-three. During the passage six were born and nine died. The adults reached their destination in the very best of health, the Stilla Hafs Kustcn says, thanks to Dr. Kars and Capt. Christcnson's good treatment. They are now all with Mr. C. L'Orange on the isle of Mauce, on whose extensive sugar plantations they will work. Capt. C. in commenting, says they all re ceived good, comfortable homes, and doubts, not that under Mr. L'Orange's humane treatment a bright future is awaiting them. The Sew South. As the case now stands, the trade of the south is developing more and more. New York is gathering it by steamships. Phil adelphia is aiming to tap it by the Sheandoah valley road; Cincinnati has pushed the southern road to Chattanooga; Louisville is sweep ing through the interior of the south from Memphis to Norfolk from Nashville to the gulf, and Norfolk is gathering in more and more of the great cotton harvest, knowing full well that the planter buys where he sells. Norfolk and Richmond have received since September 1st 709,033 bales of cotton. Norfolk's exports of mer chandise in January were $2,002,- 330, increase of 8700,000 for the month. The city of Chio is situated upon an island of that name in the Mediterranean sea. The Czar's assassins have been put to death by hanging on Friday. On account of Sophie Pieoffsky's noble birth, her sentence was sent to the Czar for confirmation. She asked that she be dealt with regardless of her sex. .Teliaboff requested that his last speech in his defense be published. NEW TO-pAY. Furnished 'Rtroms to Let.
