ASTOEIA, OREGON:
THTJItSDAY..... NOVEMBER 1, 1883
Peovincetowx, Massachusetts,
has hauled in about 10,000,000
pounds of codfish this year.
Subset Cox recently said in an
interview with a press representa
tive: "You might as well ex
pect to run a powder mill in hell
as an honest government with an
overflowing treasury."
Articles of incorporation of
the United States Central Railroad
with a capital of 75,000,000 have
been filed in Denver, Colorado.
The road will run from Denver to
San Francisco, and when com
pleted will be the shortest and
easiest grade between the two
cities.
The Helena, (Mont.) Herald
claims for its place that "it is the
the richest cit in the country in
proportion to the population.
There are fifty men whose incomes
are above 10,000 each, and quite
a number of these enjoy aunual
receipts of 100,000. Tins, for a
population of 7,500,- is certainly a
comfortable showinir.
Tue New York Herald thinks
that Mexico is just about reach
ing that stage of political prog
ress which our country attained
when articles of confederation
were iramea unaer wnicn we
waged the war of independence
Her greatest need is the same with
which heaven supplied our coun
try during the period in which our
constitution was adopted and the
present federal government organ
ized. A statesman with the fac
ulty of Hamilton or Gallatin would
bo worth more to Mexico to-day
than all her renerals.
The report of the Commissioner
of Pensions shows that there were
303,G5S pensioners on the roll at
the end of the fiscal ear, June
30, 1S83. During the year the
names of 3S,1G new pensioners
were added and the names of 70 G
whose pensions had been dropped
previously were restored to the
roll, making 38,958 pensions added
an excess of 10,G45 over the pre
ceding year. The average annual
value of each pension wasSlOG.lS,
and the aggregate annual value of
all pensions was $32,245,102, an
increase of 2,901,090. The
amount paid for pensions was
G0,0G1,009, exceeding their an
nual value by several million dol
lars. The bulk of this excess was
on account of arrears of pensions
covering the period prior to the al
lowance of claims.
Ax important chapter in the
constitutional history of Norway
has been opened. The whole of
the members of the Norwegian
ministry have been impeached by
the lower house of the national as
sembly before the Rigsret or Su
preme Tribunal of the realm, and
the trials open to-day with the
case of Mr. Selmer, the prime
minister. The ministers are charg
ed with acting contrary to the
interests of the country in having
advised the king to refuse his
sanction to the bill which has been
carried by three successful storth
ings for the admittance of minis
ters to seats in the national as
sembly, to a bill involving a ques
tion of supplv, and to a bill
empowering the storthing to elect
two additional members on -the
central committee of government
railways. Some daj's ago the plea
set up by the council for the ac
cused ministers, declaring some of
the members of the court disquali
fied to sit as judges, was rejected
and the court had declared all its
members competent to sit. As
each of the eleven ministers will
be tried separately, it is not likely
that any result will be made
known for another three or four
months.
The postmaster-general's order
lorbidding delivery of mail to the
New Qrleans National bank be
cause it was the- agent of the
Louisiana Lottery company is like
ly to bring a good deal of atten
tion to the most shameful condi
tion of things in a certain way to
be found in anv state. The bank
has got the New Orleans postmas
tor enjoined from obeying the
order, and, if the suit is properly
defended, a judicial decision will
be reached upon some imporlant
points. The bank suit is in fact
brought by the lottery company,
and should finally test the ques
tion as to whether that concern
must be recognized as a legitimate
enterprise. The company was got
up at the close of the war,
became rioh and powerful, and in
1879 had its charter incorporated in
the constitution. It silences criti
cism by constant gifts to charities,
bribes to silence half the news
papers in the country with high
priced advertising, and prevents
official interference at home bv
maintaining a dictatorship in state
politics. It has made and unmade
governors and judges, and elected
legislatures, and there are open
charges that the federal judges
there dare not decide against it in
the present suit.
