fl gfte gnils stsxdtm ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY .7 APRIL 2S, 18S3 A Royal Editress. It ma not be generally known that Queen Victoria is a very suc cessful journalist. The three of ficial papers published by her au thority, the London Gazette, Ed inburgh Gazette and Dublin Ga zette, paid a profit last year of 29,31G and in the preceding twelvemonth of 29,485. Their circulation is not large, but the sovereign has unusual advantages as an editor and publisher. She has a monopoly of certain kinds of advertising, and the advertiser is never dissatisfied with the posi tion of his advertisement, nor does he bother her for puffs. The queen enjoys a monopoly of the court news, and having the free run of the different governmental departments can always get early and exclusive information and command the best editorial talent. As for the literary features of the Gazette, the name of Tennyson ought to be a sufficient guarantee that nothitig is admitted into tho "Poet's Corner' that could shock the most refined taste. People never go down to "Windsor Castle or St. James Palace with clubs and a fierce demand for informa tion as to the identity of the writer of "that paragraph," or if they do, a glance at the British lion and unicorn invariably induces them to forget their errand and remark meekly that they have called to renew their subscription to her majesty's excellent paper. As for spring poets and exchange fiends, the queen has to but touch a bell and Mr. Gladstone comes in with the gold stick in waiting (which is "alwajs kept behind the door, with "in easy reach) and removes the in truder to make a bloody supper in the tower for the wild beastesses. Local, mechanics, says the Ore gonian, unable to sell their plows and wagons because of the mistak en notion that those of eastern manufacture are better, have been compelled in many instances, to give up business. Our canned fruits and vegetables are sold in our own market, but not till after they have gone to California and taken on a borrowed brand. Our woolen manufactures are sold at homo when the fact of the -place of production is canceled. And every day we see people sending away from home for furniture for their houses, the very clothes they wear, and a hundred other articles which they ought to buy in their own town. Our merchants are enterprising, and their stores are well stocked, and if their shelves do not a fiord exactly the thing de sired, they are uniformly prompt in getting it on special order. It is discouraging to men who try to serve tho public well to be slighted by their neighbors. A 'xrjMUKit of civil engineets propose to memoralize congress to take the public works of the government, forts and military structures excepted, from the charge of the engineer corps of the army. A much more sensible method of attempting the same end, says the Neioi, would be to criticise the work of the army engineers. As these last-named gentlemen were educated at the nation's expense, hold life appoint ments and have little to do for military purposes, the government is justified in utilizing them until they are proved to be incompe tent. Ben Butler, the bold has written a letter on presidential chances. He says that for a gen eration both political parties have looked to four pivotal states New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois for their candidates. "It has been utterly useless," he pathetically adds, "for any man in any other state to expect a nomination, however much he might strive for it." This would indicate that Ben's chances arc somewhat gauz . California farmers work under occasional disadvantage. One of whom we lately hear found that by reason of the drought in the San Joaquin Valley his wheat crop was lost; he moved to Tulare lake and made u second planting whefi the waters of that eccentric inland sea, rose and covered the wheat sown area. Two such fail ures in one year has loosened the Californian's belief in Providence. Senator McDonald says "we are all apt at seeing pleasant things said of us in the newspa pers." Our experience, says the Standard, has been to the contra ry. Praise a man on the first page in large caps, and ten to one he never hears of it. But just prick him one time with the painful prod of adverse criticism, hide it away in the most obscure column in small t3Tpe, even under some old standing advertisement of "Chicken Cholera or King's Kid ney Cure," and before 8 a. m., he and all his friends are up and in arms. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer takes comfort that the visit there of Mr. Viilard settled one thing, and that is that he has no present intention of building any railroad north of that city. Our friends of Snohomish and "Whatcom will have to wait a year or two longer. For at least two years Seattle will lo the extreme northwestern te i nus of the entire railroad system of the United States. The county Goldendale Klickitat Gazette says: "The North Pacific railroad have a line located on the north bank of the Columbia river through this coun ty, and have had for months past, a small force of men at work on it, near Columbus, It will proba bly not be built until several lines of more immediate importance have been constructed." It is a noticeable political fact that amid all the nominating for President that is now going on, not one name is mentioned whose owner lives south of Mason and Dixon's line. For fifty years the southern element ruled the country, now the fact that a man is from the south puts a quietus on his highest political aspirations. It is keenly illustrative of "tire swing of the pendulum." NEW TO-DAY Situation Wanted 1Y A NORWEGIAN GIRL AS COOK OR x- waitress in hotel or private famliv. Ap ply at this oflice. d3t FOR TILLAMOOK.
