ai gfte janiltj gystolm. ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY MAY C, 18S3 Sating a Virtue or Necessity. Mr. Villard stated in bis speech at The Dalles that the railroad company will soon make a deQnite decision regarding the construc tion of the road down the Colum bia river, and the line across the Cascade range; that if the con struction of these lines is not de cided upon within a reasonable time, it will be to the interest of the company to put an end, at the earliest possible moment, of the holding under lock and key, so to speak, which has now been con tiuued ior twelve years, to the ti tles to vast acres of land in Wash ington Territory and Oregon. The railroad company recognizes that its prosperity will depend more upon the development of traffic by the settlement of these lands than upon their contingent owner ship. Whatever can be done by the company consistently with its trust obligations to the holders of its first mortgage bonds and with a fair treatment of bona fide set tlers, to open these lands to gen eral settlement, will be done with out unreasonable delay. Oregon ian. This, in general, is good. In special connection with the mat ter of the Astoria land grant it is at present unnecessary to say more than has bien conveyed to Mr. Villard officially and unofficially. That gentleman is probably cog nizant of one fact, viz: that unless his company build the road from Forest Grove to Astoria this sea son he will not be longer troubled by those persistent Astorians who don't know any better than to keep agitating what they ought to let alone. The next congress of the United States will see that justice is done in the matter. As Far as Heard From. "The Sacramento of the Will a mette." Ledger. "They don't like the projected road to Astoria." Post Intelligen cer. u tjie pUttiug of two bridge obstructions between them and the ocean, and the possible building of a city at Astoria are looked upon in the Webfoot me trooolis as veritable calamities, as actually threatening the life of the city, and as being a little the worst thing that could happen." Post-Intelligence r. "How does it seem to be anxi ous about a railroad from Portland to Astoria via Forest Grove which, with a bridge across the Willa mette, will allow wheat in the re gion east of the Columbia in Ore gon to go to deep water without risk of sand bars?" "Wasco Sun. "The natural bent of a business mind would be to begin at the bar, and permanently improve that and then proceed to improve the channels above it." Chehalis Vi dctle. The great artiste, Modjeska, feels dissatisfied with the monoto nous life of an actress. She has "no time for society, for picture galleries, for the various graceful ways that women of education and refinement delight in passing away their time. She must save all her strength for the evening, and for the dreary but necessary rehear sal." This may seem a strange view to take of the life of an actress. It seems to an outsider anything but monotonous. The truth of the old saying, "one-half the world knows not how the other half live," is certainly here tested. The actress thinks her life monot onous, and pines for the existence of the woman of fashion and leis ure, and the woman of society thinks her life stupid and tame, and wishes she lived the exciting life of the actress. Yesterday's Oregonian shows an entire change of front, and in an article on the river bars shows a desire to come down out of the clouds and talk sense. Now if that paper will take the true view of the case, side with TriE As toriax, work for the interests of the whole state and declare for the improvement of the bar at the mouth of the river we will give it credit for good intent. The beau tiful parable of the vineyard shows that those who came in at the eleventh hour received as much as those who toiled during the dust and heat of the day. Astoria is not a bit mean, and will bo pleased to see Portland justify herself, even now. Mrs. Duniwat, in her paper, argues that in speaking of woman, the word "female" is improper, and she is right. The two words have a distinctive meauing, and the use of the word "female" where woman is meant, is simply an evidence of ignorance on the part of the writer or speaker. Pointers. The talk about nominating Sen ator Sherman for governor of Ohio by the Republican's is still going on though it exhibits little anima tian. If Davis had any chance for the presidency it is knocked in the head completely by the endorse ment of Old-man-who-wants-wa-ter-to-run-up-hill Blair of New Hampshire. ilr. George William Curtis, in a private letter received in San Francisco, says: "All who are in terested in great public policies will naturally attach themselves to parties, but he is a very foolish fel low who makes a party a master, instead of an agent." Senator Sherman is a long headed man. He and General Long have, perhaps, lost fewer points in the changes of Repub licanism than most of their party leaders. In his efforts toward the governorship of Ohio he does not surrender his chances for the sen atorship. The Dayton Journal says it "knows that ex-president Hayes would not accept a nomination for governor under any circum stances." "Now does the Journal know of any one under heaven who wants Mr. Hayes to be nomi nated?" demands the Indianapolis Journal. The movement in favor of bien nial sessions of legislatures ap pears to be spreading in New England. Massachusetts has taken the first step in favor of such an amendment to its consti tution and a committee in the Connecticut legislature has re ported in favor of a similar propo sition. In Vermont the discussion of candidates has been on the Re publican side, ex-Congressman Grout being among those men tioned. The political indepen dence prevailing last year was not without some proofs in Vermont, the Republican candidate for con gress in the 2d district barely esapmg deieat. Whether this feeling will increase or subside cannot be perceived until another state campaign occurs. If the former happens, Vermont may yet become an interesting factor in the politics of the country. A Virginia paper, The Staun ton Vindicator would like to see Mr. Randall made the presidential candidate of the Democracy, and points out how neatly he would straddle the whole tariff issue as follews: "Mr. Randall is the em bodiment of the prevailing idea now on top in the American mind that the time is not come for free trade, and that the time for a monopoly-creating high protec tive tariff has long ago passed. He is the sort of man that the practical mind of the country will gather around in 1884: while the theorists are hunting up doclrinai ries as exponents of their ideal future." The Tribune says: Democratic journals as they contemplate the hair-pulling going on in their own party look with a great deal of alarm upon the prospect of the Republican party harmoniziug. They can't posssbly see how such a result can come about and try to extract comfort from petty'differ ences that have occured in time past. There is just cause for this worry on the part of the Demo crats, for their only hope of suc cess lies in Republican division. It is a significant fact that the year before the Presidential cam paign begins sees the Democrats dividing and the Republicans uniting. There is in this fact just cause for Democratic grief. The candidates for speaker of the Democratic House have al ready engaged tent room for the big circus that is to come off next fall in Washington. A dispatch from that city mentions where each man will "plant his standard," or, in other words, where he will mount a chair and beg for votes, offering for each a committee chairmanship. The number of brass bands on hand promises to exceed anything seen in Washing ton on a similar occasion in eight years. Active operations will pro bably begin as soon as the Ohio canvass is over. The country can calculate accordingly and get ready a strong tonic to carry it through the struggle. . There is pending before the Pennsylvania legislature a bill to prohibit the manufacture and sale of infernal machines and other de vices to destroy life and injure property. The act constitutes such manufacture and sale a mis demeanor, punishable, on convic tion, with a fine of not less than $500 nor more than $5,000, with imprisonment of from one to five years. The question of intent iu the person charged with the of fence made punishable by this bill is left to a jury to determine, but the possession of any infernal ma chine is to be considered as prima facie evidence of a design to vio late the act. TnE Oregon City Enterprise may. be reckoned as among the "extreme" protectionists. In the course of an article which other wise is excellent, on the necessity of manufactures in this state, it snoils it all by savinjr: "The best move that could be made to de velop the resources of Oregon would be for Mr. Villard to im pose a very high rate of freight on everything manufactured in the east so as to encourage its manu facture here. Let the freights be reasonable to the east and Oregon would soon become an exporter instead of an importer of manu factured croods." The Hews correctly says that too much fuss is being made over the visit of Charles A. Dana to this coast. He is nothing but a political sorehead and the proprie tor of a snarling, cantankerous newspaper which is too billious to see good in anybody or anything. MAItBIKD. In Astoria. May yd. by Rev. J. A".
