ASTORIA, OREGON:
"WEDNESDAY 2XA11CH 14, 18&3
"rionccrs or Revolution."
A Chicago paper considers a
circular sent to it worthy a leader.
The document comes from San
Francisco, is "a blood-curdling"
affair 'with mysterious diagrams,
skull and cross-bones and insignia
of insanity, and purports to be is
sued by ""We, the mechanics,
skilled workmen and wagon-workers
of San Francisco, the pioneers
of revolution, the men who have
produced all the real wealth this
city owns." It warns the people
that in San Francisco there must
be an immediate and equal divis
ion of all their worldly goods by
those who have by industry, ener
gy and toil won a share of pros
perity and means, and whom the
circular denominates as "loafers,"
.with the shiftless, diunken ruffians
who have nothing. The Chicago
press, which had its nerves shaken
by Herr Host's villainous har
rangues, can learn that such silly
proclamations have little effect in
Californa. The Sacramento Record-Union,
in comment, thinks
that the San Francisco hoodlum
does not represent the mechan
ics and wage-winners of that
state. The circular declares
that these "pioneers of rev
olution number 100,000," and
that their enemies number
but T,000; that the latter have
all produced nothing, while
the nameless "pioneerj.1' have
nothing, having produced all.
The probability is that the circu
lar is the product of a brutish
mind the work of a ruffianly
hoodlum representing a few
communistic villains who would
cut a throat for a penny and spend
the plunder for rum. Now that
San Francisco is to be robed in
darkness for three months, these
rascals will have a fine opportu
nity to rally their 100,000 men and
fall to with fire and sword. But
silly as is the proclamation, it is
not to be denied that there are
elements in ail our great cities,
drawn from the offscourings of
Europe, the lazy and brutal fol
lowers of Herr Most, among whom
such a possibility as outlined in
the circular is dreamed of. It
would be better for society if this
element would test its strength at
once, that it may be crushed out
so effectually that there will not
be seed enough left to start an
other crop of braggarts to alarm
the timid.
The San Francisco receipts for
potatoes for the last eight months
are 600,3S1 sacks, against S31,397
sacks during the preceding twelve
months. From July , S8, to
July 1, 1S82, California, 550,087
sacks; Oregon, 244,S31; "Wash
ington Territory, 28,210; Utah,
S,246; From July 3, 1SS2, to March
1. 1SS3, California, 041,720 sacks;
Oregon. S,371; "Washington Terri
tory, 2S7. The receipts from this
state so far this season are 113,0S0
sacks less than during the corres
ponding time last vear. From
"Washington Territory shipments
so far have been insignificant,
while Salt Lake has entirelj' ceased
to figure in the San Francisco mar
ket. This finds an explanation in
the fact that last season a partial
failure of the California crop
caused high prices which admitted
of liberal consignments rrotn other
quarters. This year the market
has been amply supplpd with the
California product, and values
have ruled too low to invite a rep
etition of last year's ventures.
Lieutenant Beuuy has re
ceived orders to accompany the
Corxnin on her next cruise from
San Francisco to Alaska and take
with him presents amounting to
abont $6,000 to the Indians who
treated the sailors so kindly at
J5t. .Lawrence bay.
Theke has been a decrease of
G3,457 immigrants landed in the
United states during the first sev
en months of the current fiscal
year, compared with the same pe
riod last year.
A Texas "Boom."
The rapid growth of our north
west communities is a subject of
frequent remarks. That other
portions of our great Union can
furnish material for a "boom" is
well illustrated by the history of
McGregor, a new town in Texas.
A comparatively short time ago it
was announced that the new line
of the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fc
railway would cross the Texas and
St. Louis railway at a certain
point.
This was in the afternoon. By
the next morning the entire sec
tion about the proposed junction
was staked oat in house lot-,
streets and projected public
sqnares. At noon that day the
sale of lots opened, and in three
hours $5,000 worth had been sold.
before sunset 442 lots, covering
over 300 acres were taken up.
The next day the building of
houses and the moving c f peop!"
began, and began in earnest. Fi on
far out on the prairie, upon all
sides, the shanties and houses
could be seen coming on rollers.
Before night twelve houses were
up and as many more had arived.
Twice tins number of tcnflj too,
had been pitched.
On the third da- stores, saloons
and a hotel were opened; and be
fore night the necessit' of a mu
nicipal government and a loek-up
was keenly felt and promptly pro
vided for. Thus day by day Mc
Gregor "boomed." "Within a lew
weeks the new city has been tpo
ken of as one of the most thriving
towns of the southwest frontier.
It has iriven birth to a vigorous
newspaper, the McGregor Plain
dealer, which gives as an item of
the town's business the statement
that 15,000 bales of cotton had
been exported from that place
within two months.
It hath been often said and
sung that some men are born
great, others have greatness thrust
upon them. To the latter class
must belong Senator Tabor, of
Colorado, who wins fame bv
reason of having six night shirts.
This of itself is startling, but the
fact that they cost $250 each, "for
he himself has said it," caps the
climax and places him alongside
Fair, of Nevada, and other great
statesmen of like ilk.
The Columbia college trustees
decide that "it is not expedient to
educate the sexes together." Time
was when Columbia college was a
great educational institution. It is
evidentty afflicted with the drj- rot.
It is just possible that if the old
snoozers who constitute the present
collegeboard could mustersufiicicnt
stamina to peep out over the top
of the palings they would re-consider
their medieval action.
