ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY- .7. .....JULY 17. 1883
"Procrastination is tlio
Time."
Thief of
We often see men with a chron
io habit of procrastination. They
are always about to do something
in a few days or in a few weeks;
never on a specified time. Their
ideas of punctuality are always
below par. They are "always
overestimating dangers and diffi
culties. Caution which is a good
element of character in a business
man er any other man is run to
the other extreme. When such
persons have to say they will do a
thing in a few days or a few weeks,
it is more than probable they will
never do it. The characteristics
of corporations and railroads com
panies are much the same as of
individuals. We find those
sometimes who are noted for their
punctuality, and that have a pride
in keeping their promises. Others
again, have a habit of procrastina
tion that is as marked as in indi
viduals. To the latter class we
fear we will have to place the
Oregon Central Railroad people
When the grant was made for i
railroad to Astoria it was to have
been built in six years. And there
was no sufficient reason why it was
not built in that time. Now six
years have elapsed and seven more
in addition to them and very lit
tie is done towards building the
road, it is always tne same
old story of a few days or a few
weeks until another summer
nearly gone. The rains of winter
will soon be upon us and no work
done.
Bob Ixgersoll has declared
himself as to the political situation
He says: "The Republicans are
making all the mistakes they can
and the only question now is, can
the Democrats make more? The
tariff will bo one of the great ques
tions, and will be the only one ex
cept success. The Democrats are
on both sides of the question
Thoy hate to give up the word
'only.' Only for that word they
might have succeeded in 1SS0. If
they can only let 'only' alone and
say they want la tariff for revenue,
thoy will do better. The fact is
the people are not in favor of free
trade, neither do thev want a tariff
high enough to crush a class, but
they want a tariff to raise revenue
and to protect our interests.
am for protection because it diver
sifies industries, developed brain,
and allows us to utilize all the
brain and muscle we have."
The Northern Pacific Express
company, with a capital of $10,-
000,000, filed articles of incorpo
ration with tha secretary of the
state of Minnesota on the 13th
This express company was for
merly run by the Northern Pacific
road. It is announced that H. H
Haupt, how geuoral manager o
the eastern division, will be g-en
eral manager of the whole North
ern Pacific road upon its comple
tion.
General Butler is reported
to have had a bureau in operation
for some time in Washington
working up his presidential
chances. The chief effort has been
directed toward discovering the
attitude the south holds
him, and prospect he has of carry
idg that section solidly if he should
succeed in getting the Democratic
presidential nomination.
A'-hurricake swept through
the Mississippi valley last Satur
day, accompanied by lightning an
hail. In Lee county, Iowa, a rail
road train was blown from the
track, and throughout that state
houses were blown down an
great damage done to standing
grain. Kausas, Missouri and II
linois report losses of life an
property occasioned by the storm
Jas. Blaine of Maine, writing
on the liquor law of his state, says
"Intemperance hals steadily de
creased in the state since the en
actment of the prohibitory law.
until now it can be said with
truth there is ho people of the
Anglo-Saxon world among whom
so small an amount of intoxicating
liquor is consumed as among the
GoOjOOO .inhabitants of Maine."
m -rs ..
j. he Lemocrauc managers in
Iowa are reported to have a larger
campaign fund on hand than the
Republicans ever hnd in the hot
test campaign. The prohibition
issue gives them the money of the
liquor interest in large quantities
The Xormon Problem.
COLONEL GEOEGE L. GODFREY,
member of the Utah commission,
a recent interview outlined
what, in his opinion, will be the
ultimate effect of the Edmunds
bill in accomplishing the purpose
for which it was intended. "There
aro 160,000 people in Utah to
day," said Colonel Godfrey. "Of
those 140,000 are Mormons and
only 15,000 Mormons are polyga
mists. The operation of -the Ed
munds bill is confined solely to
those who practice polygamy. A
professor of the Mormon religion
with only one wife does not
come within the scope of the law.
he work of the commission has
been confined to disfranchising
polygamists. The law provides
that every citizen shall be regis
tered before ho shall have the
right to yote, and if his name don't
appear on the register he has no
ppeal. As female suffrage is ono
of
tne Mormon institutions, a
large number of women more
women indeed than men have
been omitted from the registry
lists along with their lords and
masters. So far as possible the
commissioners have endeavored to
keep the name of every polygamist
from appearing on the lists. The
Mormons are disposed to interpose
every obstacle to the enforcement
of the law,, which, to them, is ex
tremelv odious." They have made
up ten test cases which will be
submitted to the courts as soon as
possible, and the night before
started tor tne east, writs were
served on the Commissioners
While there is no doubt that the
courts will affirm the constitution
ality of of the law, the Mormons
will leave no stone unturned to
impede its opporation."
Ik seventy-four counties in Iowa
a man has to be a temperance man
to stand any show for a nomination
or election to any office. In twen
ty-five counties in Iowa a man has
to be. a whisky man to stand any
good show of nomination or elec
tion to an' office. This rule ap
plies to both parties.
