.Editor.
A Jiew Phase of an old Fcatnre.
It is now thought by a good
many thinking people that behind
all this great interest manifested
in the maintenance of the Monroe
doctrine lies the usual "job;" that
.the most of the noise which has
been heard since De Lesseps first
began to demonstrate his earnest
ness has been occasioned in the in
terest of certain syndicates who
are concerned in foreign specula
tions. The doctrine, which is rea
sonable, patriotic, and deservedly
popular, is just as good to-day as
it was half a century ago, and
should be one of the cardinal prin
ciples of. our policy. But it looks
now as though it were being made
a pretext for a certain line of
policy never contemplated by its
originators. The way public senti
ment is being at present manipu
lated, the Monroe doctrine is be
ing given a degree of elasticity
that is at variance with its nature.
There seems to be in some of the
Washington fulminations an im
plied threat of war against civil
ized mankind outside our limits
should Lesseps be backed up in
his intent to cut the American con
tinent in two. It does seem as if
all these appeals to patriotism,
passion, and prejudice were for
the nurnosc of influencing" a biff
scheme, or a big steal, or engi-
" O
neering a big subsidy scheme
through Congress. Lesseps, how
ever, is working away at the canal,
and the probability is that it will
be ready before the men who scent
spoils can work the thing success
fully in Congressional lobbies and
influence legislation at Washing
ton. A stiil farther unwarranted
perversion of the Monroe doctrine
is shown in the present South
American squabble. It is said,
and with great show of truth, that
all this waving of the starry ban
ner and talk of "enforcing the set
tled policy of the United States"
in interfering between Chili and
Peru, is a s'stematic attempt to
capture the niter beds of the latter
country, an attempt that must have
the sanction of the Peruvian gov
ernment to be successful. If the
Monroe doctrine can be made to
cover such a variety of projects as
enterprising Wall street and
. "Washington speculators seem to
think, it may also be made to
afford a -solution to the Trish ques
tion. Let the societies and sym
pathizers with Ireland in this coun
try organize a fund to influence
Congress to declare that "a due
interpretation of the Monroe doc
trine indicates an unwillingness on
the part of the United States to
allow further domination of Ire
land by the English." It would be
just as consistent to interfere un
der pretext of adherence to that
doctrine in the case of Ireland as
in the case of Peru or Panama.
Railroad Coiamissioiicr's Heport.
A Washington dispatch of the
19th says: The report of Joseph
X. McCammon, commissioner of
railroads, has been received by the
secretary of the interior. It says
the indications are that within a
short time there will be five dif
ferent routes to the Pacific coast,
where less than a year ago there
was but one. These railroads will
be instrumental in developing the
countr' rapidly. -Capital has been
invested in large sums, and still the
tendency is towards iucrcased de
velopments, principally in the west
and southwest. It is believed that
operations in railroad construction
this year will exceed those of any
previous year, and in consequence
large tracts of mineral and agricul-
. tural lands will be made accessi
ble The commissioner takes up
the question of compensation to
lanSfgrant railroads for transporta-
, tion ot troops and government
supplies, and says: "I have reached
the conclusion that fifty per cent
of the tariff for ordinary rates of
companies would be a compensa
tion just aliko to railroads and the
government, and proper for per
manent application. Engineer
Blackstone, while recognizing
the general good condition
of Pacifio Railroads, says
there is still left much
to be done in order to bring
them to the standard condition,
and that true economy in their
maintenance and operation which
he suggests. The engineer criti
cised severely the faulty construc
tion of many bridges and says
comparatively few of them are
supplied with proper safeguards
against accidents. In conclusion
he said the action of Congress is
invited to the fact that there is no
uniform system of railroad signals
in use, which, is the source of con
fusion and should be remedied by
appropriate legislation.
A Precedent.
Lonn Denjian presided at the
trial of Oxford for the shooting at
Queen Victoria, and delivered an
important and elaborate charge to
the jury impaneled in the case.
The defense "was, as with Guiteau,
the insanity of the prisoner. Lord
Denman said: "But, although he
labored under a delusion, if he
fired the loaded pistol at the
Queen, knowing the result whicli
would follow his conduct, and, al
though forced by his morbid de
sire for notoriety to the act, he
would be responsible for his con
duct and liable to criminal pun
ishment."
A Loxdox medical journal !c-
-1 i.l.,1. I.. 1 I
cmreb u.1 ,ne Sr1 pruva.em-e m
neuralgia, or what goes y mat
name, should be regarded 'as a
warning indicative of a low con
dition of health, which must neces
sarily render its subjects peculiarly
susceptible to the invasion of dis
ease of an acjgressive type. It is
always essential that the vital
forces should be vigorous, and Use
nerve power, especially, in full de
velopment; but neuralgia indicates
a low or depressed state of vitality,
a poor and weak bodily condition,
that should be promptly placed
under treatment".
In a recent anti-Bourbon speech,
Judge Mackey gave this descrip
tion of the kind of prosperity
Bourbon rule has given to
South Carelina: "The average
planter at the end of each
year is so poor that ho
owes for the clothes he wears, and
the average laborer so ragged that
if he were to attempt to cross a forty
acre field and were caught by a
heavy northwest wind he would be
whipped to death by his rags."
The Judge evidently thinks that
the Palmetto state is ready for a
new departure.
The Cincinnati Commercial
thinks it probable that worthy
soldiers get as much as ten per
cent, of the amount paid out of
the pension fund.
Shipping- Grain in Bulk.
EniTOit Asteriax:
I conclude that "Resident," who
advocates carrying wheat in bulk,
presumes that the wheat will be
carried in bulk from Astoria to
Liverpool and Great Britain by
steamers of 6,000 tons capacit'.
If the grain will not be carried
to Great Britain in bulk there
would be no particular advantage
in having it. come from the interior
to Astoria in bulk. In fact there
are disadvantages in having it
carried in bulk which I will name
later on. The grain is not now
carried in bulk from this coast to
Great Britain, because it has been
tried by the farmers of California
and it has failed. The long vo--age
around the Horn of four to six
months, passing through the trop
ics twice, has been found to heat
the wheat and breed the weevil,
whilst grain in sacks keeps cool.
Hence a cargo of Oregon grain in
bulk arriving in Liverpool will not
sell for near the amount of mouev
as a cargo in sacks. Now, it is
true that a steamer vo3age from
Astoria to Liverpool will bo onlv
about 70 to 80 days against 120 to
160 days as at present, yet I
think it will be found too risky for
the wheat owners to carry a cargo j
in that wav, until the Do Lesseps i
canal shortens the voyage to Liv
!a.
erpool to 30 days. That canal
will probably be finished in four
years. But grain in bulk will be j
the next thing for the California I.
shippers by way of Galveston and
New Orleans and the new line ofj
the Southern Pacific. There is a I
chance for thof-i: who wish to try
shipping in bulk to do so with the j
odds against their favor. By the S
way '"Resident" is calculating that j
Villard will build to Astoria. Has
anyone ever heaid him say In was
jjoin": to build to Astoria.

In all cases of billiousucs and malaria in

IVo Ono ZVccrt Sufl'cvl
A sure Cure for Ulind. fHecdinjr. Itchhur
and Ulcerated Tiles has been discovered by
Dr. 'Williams, (an Indian Itemcdy), called
Dr. AVf.liam's Indian Ointment. A single
bo has cured the worst chronic cases of 'Si
or so years standing. Jo one need suffer
fic minutes after applying this wonderful
soothing medicine. Lotions, instruments and
electuaries do more harm than good. Wil
l!ams Ointment absorbs the tumors, allays
the intense itching, (particularly at night af
ter getting warm in bed)t acts as a ioultice,
cites instant relief, and is prepared only for
riles. Itching of the private parts, and for
nothing else.
lteait what the Hon. J. M. CoDinburry or
Cleveland., says about Dr. William's Indian
Pile Ointment : I have used scores of Pile

I have never found anything which gavo
