C gfte ghiilxj JVstetoii. ASTORIA, OREGON SATURDAY 5IAECII 31, 1883 Pacillc Railroads. Since the Central and Union Pacific roads were built fourteen years ago, that route being the only transcontinental onc,has been a mint to its owners. Though the rolling stock was poor, the accom modations execrable, the fare ex orbitant and the time made wretch edly slow, yet it collected all the ' tolls of a traveling nation along that line of travel. The original owners of the Central Pacific have built the Southern Pacific out of the earnings of the former, and are now preparing to withdraw from control oi the old route and turn it over to the government for mortgages thereon at the precise moment when the property be comes comparatively worthless. rhe country through which the greater portion ot the C. P. R. R. runs 3'ields no local traffic revenue. San Francisco and Sacramento (which are in reality California) can go b- the "sunset route." The Union Pacific has already .made arrangements with the N. P. R. R. Co. for its transfer, and the completion of the latter road will in addition to its regular business draw off a large quantity of pat ronage which has been hitherto given unwillingly, to the "Big Four"" of San Francisco. A 'cw Tarty. A new party is forming. Its headquarters are in Chicago. The first meeting or conferrence will be held on the 4th of next July. The platform of the new organiza tion declares opposition to all monopolies, transportation, tele graph, money, land, light, water, in vention,or others of a public nature; it demands that the government control and own the railroad and telegraph lines, that the patented inventions of great utility be purchased by the government and sold for the common benefit; it declares against the surrender of governmental power to corpora tions, especially to banks of issue, and demands national legislation to regulate the rate of interest, also to establish postal and savings banks, and for the issuance by the government of money to be a full legal tender; it also demands legislation to punish people who put up "corners' in articles of food and to punish those who adulterate victuals and drink. The fifth and sixth planks of the platform, to which all members are required to subscribe, are as fol fel fol eows: Filth We demand the passage of laws which shall prohibit the immigration to the United States of all servile and pauper labor and criminals, and which shall secure all the rights of citizen labor, equal rights, privileges, and repre sentation for all citizens, and special privileges for none; laws which shall guarantee to every individual citizen the greatest personal liberty consistent with the rights of others, and the re peal of all unjust and oppressive laws. Sixth We demand the mainten ance of a common school system, with free, unsectariati education and free books for all; a jut system of taxation and revenue, and a reduction in the cost of government; the overflow of cor ruption in public service, m repre sentative bodies and at the polls, and of the rule of party "bosses," and the establishment of "a gov ernment of the people, by the peo ple, for the people." A petition is now in circulation to call a conference, signed by men in all parts of the country. In California it is in charge of a committee of the central club. The undersigned joined in a call for a national delegate conference which will be held in Chicago, on the 4th day of July, 1SS3, for the purpose of organizing a new polit ical party to espouse the cause of legitimate industry in the irre pressible conflict already entered upon between the confederate monopolies and the people. All who favor the restriction of the power of corporations, the holding of the nublic lands for ac tual settlers, the suppression of oi gambling in the necessities of life, and of combinations which fix prices against the natural laws of trade, the destruction of legal rights in vested wrongs, and the overflow of all monopolies and of all systems and laws made in the interest of the lew against the many; all who oppose the control of the currency by banks of issue and the taxation of all industry for the benefit of favored enterprises under the guise of a protective tar iff; all who favor the election of the President, Vice President and United States Senators, by a direct Toteofthe people; S. ..l.u favor simple and just government, as against that which is complex and corrupt, are invited to choose dele gates to represent them in the con ference, the basis of representation being four delegates for the Dis trict of Columbia, four for each Territory, and four for each con gressional district in the United States. Be'ievingthata crisis, forced by the powe- of organized greed, is rpproaching, not alone in our na tional affairs, but in civilization itself, we appeal to the freemen of of America so organize themselves anew to stand again, as they and their fathers have stood before, for the rights of man and the dignity of human nature. The Sun thinks that whether the Panama or the Nicaragua canal first reaches completion, the grain trade of the Pacific States will evidently be a great gainer, and will show an instant and enor mous increase. These states al ready send between ono million and two millions of tons of cereals to Europe, the annual export somewhat varying with the crop and the demand. It is carried around Cape Horn in sailing ships, a distance of between thirteen thousand and fourteen thousand miles. This route will be halved by the Isthmus transit. In other words, the time will be shortened by a half, the wages and the main tenance of the crew by a half, and the risks by a half. Even with the added canal tolls the trans portation of the grain must cost from a half to a third less than now. This must mean the saving of many millions a year for the -Pacific States by the time either canal is finished, at the present rate in the increase of grain ex ports, it will probably mean the saving of scores of millions. Yet this is only one item in the pros pective uses of an inter-oceanic canal. "With three transcontinental railroads it reads singularly enough that a party of of Indians are devastating white settlements. It is in Arizona, the only place possible for such outrages, and by Apaches, the only tribe now capa ble, that these atrocities occur. Cook was the only man that ever appreciated the Apache. His system was brief but effectual. "When I go kill snakes I kill snakes; when I go kill Apaches, I kill Apaches." Tin: grandest preparations are being made for the coronation of the czar. All of the "crowned heads of Europe" will be presented, and the continental insurance agents are supposedly happy. Tin: star route trial like a wounded snake drags its slow length along; the principal actors in in it are liable to die of extreme old age before any definite result will be reached. It is said that Seth Green, the well-known fish culturist, is seri ously ill at his home in Rochester, N. Y., from a complication of diseases. Yamiiill county claims distinc tion in the fact that it has three in habitants whose weight aggregates 90S pounds. Late rains give California an assurance of at least a partial crop.
