-w m gfte uHb stac&xtw ASTORIA- OREGON : THURSDAY JULY 7. 1881 B.C.IRELAM ..Editor. Sol Out of Danger. The Oregonian 1ms kept readers thoroughly informed concerning the condition of President Garfield since the National horror, and The AsToniAK, as well as other Pacific Nortlnvcst journals, acknowledge many favors from the Oregonian in this respect. There is still a .hope that the life of the President ma' be spared, but reports are conflict ing and we do not feel assured, as we wish to feel, upon this point. The attending physicians, it seems are not assured, and disagree as to the piobabl"e icsult. Bulletins last evening furnish encouiagement to hone for his iccoverv. Let us not be disappointed. r.nslislt 1'nrliauipunt. Oregonians should not growl, when the Salem assembly adjourns to attend a horse race. The pi e cedent has been followed in Eng laud. Tt seems odd to hear that so grave and dignified a body as the English house of parliament should adjourn to attmd a horse race but so it ib. ( )ccasionally in this country some insignificant board have been held up to ridi cule by adjourning to go to a eircus. "What, however, would be the sentiment of the country should the United States senate adjourn to attend a horse race at Pimlico. Every year, however, pailiament adjourns to permit its members to go to the Derby, and it is not long i ago since they adjourned to attend a prize fight. It would seem that at a. time like the present, when j the affairs of Ireland arc in such a state of disorder and insurrection, and when theie may be bloodshed any day, that their first duty would be to attend to the affairs of state; but the men who hae seals in parliament would as soon think of doing without their meals for the remainder of the session as staying away from the Dei by. This is the body, too, which adjourns to at tend horse-race., and prize-fights, that lefused to allow l'radlaugh to take his seat for the sole reason that he did not believe in (Jod! Suicides Increase. The alarming increase notice able in the number of suicides seems to demand the attention of christians and philanthropists. It is not attributable to any general distress or sudden calamity. In many cases the causes seem ab surdly insignificant. There is no reason for supposing that plane tary or physical influences predis pose persons at this time to suicide, and there is no general distress in ducing it. There is less fear of death than ever before, since there is no longer general faith in the 'teinitj' of punishment after death, and to this alone the greater quency of suicides may perhaps be attributed. True, those who teach that there is no hell, or that pun- ishment in it will be eternal, hold that sin inevitably pioduces harm ful consequences; but to the suffer er from want, disappointment or disease, his pains seem almost un endurable, while those that may come after death appear remote and less poignant. The change of faith, the doubt of future punish ment, mav have led to manv eases of suicide. Although depreciated by all moralists as wrong and cow ardly, but the mind distraught by suffering or rejnoise heeds little such suggestion-, when the fear of hell is no longer felt. tiooil and Eul. We have been reading numer ous predictions of astronomers, etc., concerning the tremendous disasters to occur, but which did not; last month and in April, be cause of the groupings of the planets. Their predictions have not been verified to any conspicu ous extent. The grand cataclysm which was to occur on Suuda, the 19th tilt., scared more people than it hurt; and while the planets Xeptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars on one side of the sun, and our earth on the other, may have produced new forms of mag netism, people on this coast were not seriously harmed. "Why don't these seers ever predict from such influences the sudden inbringing of the millcnial age, when sin and sorrow will be no more? Why can't they ever imagine good and not evil to result from conjunctions of planets hundreds of millions of miles apart? rnutsliracat of Bribers. The legislature of Pennsylvania have "by recent act, decreed severe penalties against those who giTe or receive bribes or vote illegally. An' candidate for office who is convicted of bribing an elector, or corruptly inflnencing his actions, is liable to a fine of 300 and three months' imprisonment. A similar punishment is to be meted out to the recipient of the bribe, to him who is corruptly influenced, and to the elector who offers for any valu able consideration to dispose of his vote or influence. He who votes at a primary if he is not en titled to vote at a general elec tion, incurs a fine of two hundred dollars and three mouths1 impris onment. The elected delegate, or any member of the executive com mittee, judge or clerk of returning board, who is proven guilt' of any of the infractions of the pro visions of this statute against fraud, is subject to a fine of one hundred dollars and three months' imprisoment, and this penalty is doubled on him who attempts to tamper with or corrupt the offi cers. The past developments at llarrisburg justified the adoption of stringent measures to purifyl primaries and conventions, but it is rather doubtful if the present law will secure honest nominations. Tt is aimed especially at flagrant cases cf fraud and bribery; but it is not retroactive, nor does it pro vidi for the future suppression of that adroit system of cheating so well understood by those politicians who control the primaries anil the followers who obey the orders of their chiefs. Shrewdness of man- ipulatiou is not sufficiently guard ed against, and crafty dealing is as liable to superinduce a false count as specific brib ery; yet it is only the latter offense that is punishable. Cheat ing within specified Hunts can still be practiced with impunity as much in politics as in ordinary business relations. There are some men who cannot be legislated into practical honesty and truthfulness either bv human or divine law. Penalties have been prescribed in England as well as the United States for illegal voting and brib ery at regular elections, but these aie comparatively inoperative, by reason of the difficulties attending the investigation and proving the guilt of the accused. The primary election, which is the head that directs subsequent issues in regard to delegates and nominations, has bsen virtually uncared for by pro visory statutes and allowed to run its own way without salutary re straints until it got into disrepute, and a compulsory reform is advis able in Oregon as well as in Penn sylvania, and other states too num erous to mention. A leading paper in Ohio com plains that the public debt is get- 'ting paid off too fast. Objection is made to unnecessarily burden- fre-'ing the present generation, to do ing uway with a safe investment for trustees, guardians, adminis- j tralors, etc., but this is the main ar- gnment: The wealth of the coun try is to-day estimated at $40,000, 000,000, and the population is about 51,000,000. Twenty-five years from now the population will be 100,000,000, and the wealth will be 15100,000,000,000. There fore, does it not stand to reason that the people twenty-five years hence hould pay at least one half the debt, as it stood in 1SC5, say SI, .100,000? What sense is theie in the present generation paying off the debt, when the nest will be more than doubly able to do it?' All this may have more or less force, but if there is one thing that the people of this coun try have repudiated, it is the doc trin, current during the war, that a "national debt is a national blessinjr." Mail advices inform its that the storm in the western states lias been more disastrous than was at first supposed, and that the loss of life seems to have been consider able, to say nothing of the great damage done to property of every description. Crops of every kind have also suffered greatly, and in some sections the wheat is ruined and the corn badly damaged. This has been a season of most peculiar weather, and its eccentricities 4o not seem to Lave been confined to any one section, all parts of the country having been afflicted in one form or another. JLocal option is becoming & dis turbing element in British politics. I Esenpo of 3Irs. Garfield. A "Washington dispateh gives an account of the breaking of a piston J : rod of the train on which Mrs (tar-1 field went to "Washington. She had J a very narrow escape, altlmughig-j norant of it. The train was going at terrific speed, and could not be I checked for two miles after the1 break was discovered. It was a miracle that all escaped death. ! Arthurs Beep Emotion.
