w gto gaits JVstorto. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY MARCH 27, 1883 How It affects Seattle. That the case of Astoria is not an isolated one is illustrated by the following from the JPost-Inlel-ligeiiccr: Quite a discussion has lately arisen over the question of the Northern Pacific land grant, whether k should be longer con tinued or done away with. Our people are interested to a certain extent, and to that extent they should be heard, and due respect should be paid to what they say. The company's grant extends over almost every square mile in the counties of King and Yakima, and has so covered them a number of years. The company had not really earned an acre in either county, and yet holds millions within them more effectually than if patented by the United States. Their holding this land is a terri ble bliglit upon both counties, which have been immensely in jured thereby. The only semblance to a right to lands in King county is acquired by the building of a short railroad in Pierce count' to some coal mines. That road is not of one iota of benefit to Kinor countv, while it is of great benefit to Pierce. It would not have been out of place, perhaps, to donate lands in Pierce county to aid the building of that road, but to give the lands of King countv for the purpose is as bad as to compel the people of Walla "Walla, Idaho or Oregon to aid with their money and propertT a local enterprise of this citv. If the company went ahead with the road and built it through King and Yakima counties the objections to their possession of the land gr.mt would probably cease. But the will not for several years. Further, they stand in the way of other companies who undoubt edly would build were the North ern Pacific out of the way; com panies, too, that would build with out the grant of an acre of land, only too gladly. It is, even now, Demg puonsneu oictucast over the country that the company has recently headed off, or bought off the Oregon Short Line. If the Northern Pacific does not want a road here and will not build it, why stand in the way of others who do want and will build it.' Under such circumstances it illy becomes the corn- path's friends hereabouts to advocate the retention of its grant in the two counties named. If we remember aright, president Yillard himself when in this city a 3'ear and a half ago, said that he could not blame the people for trying to get the grant abolished, and further that the grant, grexit as it is, and backed by all the traffic to be obtained, was by no means a sufficient object to induce the company to build the road. In the one case as in the other, the road fehould be built or the grant forfeited. Pointers. Chicago thirsts more than it hungers having about 5,000 places where liquor is sold, with aud without license, and 2,S00 stores for the supply of food. A Philadelphia editor thinks the enemies of General Grant oujjht not to object to having him put on the 2-cent postage-stamp, as that is the only way ever contrived to get him liclced. Since the report came from Maine that a pot of beans had ex ploded,the life insurance agents of Boston have been as busy as bees writing policies. Even the Bos ton Post man has taken out a pol icy on his life for 17 50. "When Uniontown, a suburb of Washington D. C. was laid out, twenty-five years ago, the owner issued orders that no lot should ever be allowed to become the property of a negro. That man's own former home, in the centre of the town from which the colored race was to be excluded, is now owned and occupied by Frederick Douglass. In a Nevada mining town, now deserted, which once had several thousand inhabitants, Indians are living in abandoned rows of good brick" houses, which they have adapted to their tastes as far as possible by knocking out the doors i&nd windows and punching holes in the roofs. The first instance where physi cians are mentioned in the Bible is IT. Chronicles .vi. 12. It is not flattering to the faculty: "And Asa, in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, was diseased in his feet until the disease was exceedingly great; yet, in-" his disease, he sought not the Lord but the physi cians. And Asa slept with his fathers." For the first time in the history of the city, a Chicago paper says, the public schools were closed this year on Good Friday. Then followed a chapter of lamen tations and the statement that "half of the children -who attend public schools do not know what Good Friday is, and perhaps some of them could not learn by asking their parents." And they still take up collections in the churches of Chicago to aid the foreign mis sionary work. Timothy A. Howe, postmaster general of the United States, died at his home in Kenosha, "Wiscon sin, on the 25th inst. He was born in Maine, February 2i, 181G, and after receiving an academic education studied law and was admited to the bar. He was a member of the legislature of Maine in 1845, and in the latter part of that year he removed to "Wiscon sin. He was elected to the United States senate as a union-republican in 1SG1, was re-elected to the hen ate in JG7 and again in T3, during these eighteen years holding im portant committee positions and be ing one of the most prominent and influential members of that bod'. He was tendered by President Garfield an appointment as a mem ber of the board of commissioners sent by the United States to repre sent this government in the in ternational monetary congress at Paris, his associates being ex Senator Thurman, of Ohio, "Win. Evarts, of New York. He re mained abroad six months. Soon after his return he began to be prominently mentioned as a poj isible member of President Arthur's cabinet. In 18jl he was tendered tha postmastership, which he ac cepted, to the duties of which he has since devoted his attention. He strongly favored the reduction of postage made by the last con gress and has been largely instru mental in securing improved mail facilities throughout the country. GOIt.V.
