ASTORIA, OREGON:
FKIDAY OCTOHKI 12, 1SS8
Ilnekejes and Hawkeycs.
The result of Tuesday's elec
tion in Ohio is as yet undeter
mined, though it is believed that
Judge Hoadley, the Democratic
candidate for governor, is elected
bT a small majority, and that the
Democrats carry a majority of the
legislature. This last is in even
greater dispute than the guberna
torial returns; upon 'the political
complexion of the newly elected
legislature depends whether Sena
tor Pendleton's successor in the
H. S. Senate shall be Democratic
or Republican.
Ohio has all along been consid
ered a Republican state, giving
trarfield 34,227 majority three
years ago. The election this year
turned on what may be called lo
cal issues, at the bottom of which
lay the question of prohibition.
The real question in Ohio last
Tuesday was not whether Hoadley
or Forak'er should be elected gov
ernor, but whether saloons should
or should'not be taxed. Republi
cans championed the provision of
license, and a temporary defeat
will probably nerve the prohibi
tion leaders to a renewed effort.
fn Towa the Republicans csyry
the worlcs by a majority vastly re
duced from the Garfield majority
of 7S,12G, in 1SS0.
In the Hawkcyc state, also, the
question of prohibition was the
most prominent feature of the
campaign, and the Republican
majority will be generally accepted
as furnishing figures indicating the
popular .feeling in Iowa as regards
that movement.
Aukaxgemijxt.s are being made
by Mr. Blackfan, chief of the for
eign postal service at Washington,
to admit the Australian colonies
into the international postal union.
When this is accomplished, the
whole world, practically, will be in
the union, and a uniform rate of (5
cents will pa' for a letter to any
place on the globe with the ex
ceptioirof Batavia. The Austra
lian colonies have been kept out
this long because they could not
very well adopt so cheap a rate
and pay the subsidies they do.
They pay a subsidy of 600,000 a
year to the steamship line running
to San Francisco, and also a boun
ty to mail carriers by the Suez
Canal. They have proposed to
the countries of the International
union to come in at once with the
same conditions. They an' wil
ling to accept the five cent rate for
matter sent to any part of their do
main, but desire to keep up their
rates until the present contracts
with the steamship lines have ex
pired. Mr. Blackfan, for the Uni
ted States, has accepted these con
ditions, and he thinks that thsy
will be acceded to generally. It
must be agreed to unanimously
among the nations in order to be
effective:
Tin: Panama canal company are
pushing work with a. labor force
f six thousand laborers, most of !
whom are negroes from the "West
Indies. Six dredges are also being
used to good advantage in loading
cars, which are hauled to a dump
ing ground some twelve miles dis
. tant from the canal. . The capital
is furnished to a large extent by
Americans and English.
The Washington territorial leg
islature is about to pass a law
making it impossible for quack
doctors to practice medicine in the
territory. It is a good idea. An
other law should be passed com
pelling physicians to practice un
der their own names. Seattle
would lose one practitioner should
such a law prevail.
The fact that Geo. D.Robinson
is Republican candidate for gov
ernor oi Massachusetts, against
bold Ben Butler, the Democratic
standard bearer, impels the belief
in the minds of many that
George D.
Robinson lie
Is not the man to beat Governor B.
A cokrespoxdext of the "Wash
ington Capital -says: "A "Wall
street broker friend of mine says
his firm are borrowing all the
money they want at two per cent
a year and charging customers six
per cent a year for the use of it.
'We cleared 15,000 on interest
alone in August,' he says. '"When
our customers order us to buy cer
tain shares of stock for them thev
put up ten per cent as the total in
vestment, and that makes us re
sponsible for ninety per cent. If
the stock is left idle on our hands
for any length of time we charge
interest on that ninety per cent.
So, you see, if the market is dull,
the profit lies in the interest: if it
is lively, it is in the commission:
In either case we come out ahead."
The Oregonian makes a good
point in calling attention to the
prevailing folly of agricultural j
production, viz; raising wheat and j
nothing but wheat. No marfcft in !
the world is so subject to iluctua-!
tion and violent competition as the
wheat market. No market in the
world affords greater inducements
to fruit and dairy interests than
the northwest. Concentration on
one crop and purchase of all
things else, will, in the end impov
erish the country that adopts such
a suicidal course.
Late European advices are to
the effect that Germany is schem
ing'to embroil France in another
war and is doing all it can to ex
asperate its Gallic neighbors. The
French press express the utmost
confidence in the condition of the
country, and think that France is
fully prepared to go to war. This
opinion is not shared by journals
outside of France, some of the lat
ter asserting that another Franco
German war would be Sedan and
Metz over a train.
A sr.oop wilh eleven Chinamen
aboard, from British Columbia was
captured Saturday, by the Custom
inspector at PortTownsend. W. T.
The Chinese acknowledge having
paid $15 ahead for their passsge.
The Xord Deutsche Zeitttuy
says that nihilist proclamations
have been issued solemnly senten
cing the Czar to death because he
has failed to grant liberty to the
people.
