EuhowiV population has in- j fj-p tar ! ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY AUGUST 12,13 Prohibition . The republican party of Maine. in order to hold the prohibitionists and prevent them from supporting a separate ticket, which would givo the state to the deaiocrats have for many vears been accus tomed to make a record on paper in favor of prohibition, while their officials have constantly winked at the violation of the law. and thus held lame numbers ol lawless liquor sellers to the support of their part'. All persons who have any msiue knowledge of lxmtical doings in Maine know that this course is regularly pursued by the republican pnity of that state. Oreyoniaa. There is hardly any question that can be raised which assumes a wider form than does the ques tion of prohibition. It takes in government and, as a consequence. politics, has a bearing on religion, touches health and largely em braces morals. The parties to the controversary appear to lx wlwlly irreconcilable. Mncaulay some where says that the most ridicu lous spectacle that possibly can be presented is the British public when it takes on one of Us period ical fits of high moraHtj. In that case its virtue becomes perfectly outrageous. The genera! course is to assume the proposition, what ever it is, then investigate it, and afterwards break up in a effort to formulate it. Perhaps it is not too much to say that a family likeness is some times discernible in this country. Prohibition is noL a new party in uie united states. Jt comes to the front periodically. In 1T2 it fastened on the "Whig party, and did almost as much to break it up in one or two great stales as the slavery issue. This time it has taken possession of the Kepub- licau party, but without the least improving the prospects of that organization. The peculiarity of the Prohibition party is that when it runs a ticket of its own it polls very few votes. But when it dominates one of the historical parties it swells to large dimen sions. Prohibition has been car ried in two states Kansas and Io wa by the Republican part y,bu t at a heavy loss in votes to Uik'lf. Prohi bition is not now enforced fully in either state. In Iowa the con stitutional amendment ordering it fell in the courts. Jn Kansas, though its vitality has not been impaired, it is only tho. law in small towns. The issue as it spread from these states has become very diluted, Outside of them it takes the shape of high license, but whether that is going to promote temperance is an unsolved pro blem. It appears to have an eco nomic rather than a moral ten denc. It is bringing some relief to the owners of real and persona 1 property, but so far is not produc ing any very conspicuous temper ance effects. The indications are that it will not largely diminish the consumption of spirits any where. Nothing can be claimed for it in the name of temperance but that it will make people travel farther for their whisky. A Paris special says: The ru mored plot to restore the monarchy in France is probably a canard. Still, on the principle that coming events cast their shadows before, the story may be taken as an in dex of what is considered possible, if not probable, m the existing state of public feeling in France. One thing alone is certain, and that is that the present situation will not last very long. Paul de Cassagnac has declared that the Bonapartists are not disinclined to throw their lot with the Legitmists if a strong government can be se cured thereby. The exasperation of the clergy and the Catholic party at the attitude of the gov ernment toward religious corpora tions is a powerful factor in the situation. The recovery of the Count De Chambord will ratiier tend to preserve the present statu quo. His death would have wid ened the divisions of parties and brought the Royalists into line. At present public attention is divided between Suez, Madaas car,. Tonquin and other foreign places, but when the events con nected with these points puss out of notice and France begins to look at home, a change of some kind will be imminent, if not inevitable. Half century, and is increasing now at the rate of 4,000,000, besides j sending abroad 1,000,000 emi grants yearly. This growth has so far outrun food production that Russia and Hungary arc now the j only European countries that count on raising all their own fowl supply. Forty years ago Great Britain alone looked be yond her own soil for breadstuff's and provisions. Now the utmost resources of the soil are taxed in vain to feed tlie population of Eu rope aflor Russia and Hungary are left out ol the calculation. In 1S50 the totttl value of our ex ported food products wws less than $27,000,000. Jit 1SX0 it was sixteen times as much, or nc&rlv 8440,000,000. -Cattle on the re motest ranges of Texas ami Idaho now command Itciicr prices than thev brought oh the cUivatd farms of the old Atlauti sta! ! 1S30. "Wonderful as our increase in population and jwodueUcxt has been, it has not more than kept pace with the growth of uropo,s demand for al! the surplus we can produce. Tus N. Y. TTffirfd prinU a ca blegram in relation lo the Confed erate bunds and svs: Aside front the fact that soinr of the or iginal foreign purchasers are w ill ing to club together and fee if anything can be realized, the whole truth seems to be that a clique of speculators who have handled the bonds several limes. and each time at a profit, have been seeking a new excuse throuch which to unload once more, and that "Talioo the South" is now their watchword. Tf the clergy men ami widows who are the pros pective victims of this new trick could be made to understand that the south has np reason to tar anything for either the threat or the bonds, t.he bubic would burst at once, lor the rrash can iot be sold at airy price whatever to any intelligent investor in cither I5u rope or America. Thk Agents' General of all the Australian colonies have demanded of Ixrd Derby that he annex the eastern half of Xew Guinea and the Western Pacific islands, so as to proven! France and other pow er:; from forming ixmal settlements and naval stations to the detriment of English colonists in those coun tries. The colonies are willing to share the cost of fhe annexation. Lord Derby advised the colonists to take tlie islands under their joint protection on their own re sponsibility. He said He could not advise tiic government to ox tend the Queen's dominions any farther. durinr his re- cum. leciuro in j.jrgoh iinnn i- I , T 1 America, found thai his audience was very keen to see an opportu nity to play a quiet joke upon himseif. Amonjr other things he told his hearers that it was a com mon thing in American theatres for people, when they did not like the entertainment, to leafe the room, whorcujxm a considerable portion of his audience got up and filed quietly out. Oscar did not quit like this prompt adoption of American habits, but could not fail to appreciate the point of the situation.
