ASTOKIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY .NOVEMBER 20, 1S83
AX UNWELC03IE ASSERTION.
The iconoclasts will not learo a
single cliorislied belief. Not content
with destroying the illusions of an
tiquity and Bottled opinions of later
times, according to cynical statis
ticians who have been rummaging in
the "Washington archives, it is now
alleged that La Fayette, when about
to come to thi3 country and do battle
against tbe minions of tyranny,
niado Silas Deane, the American min
ister at Paris with Ben Franklin, sign
a contract that he should be made a
major-general, and be paid so much a
month from the lime ho left la belle
France If there is any one idea
more than another in regard to our
history firmly fixed in the American
mind, it is that La Fayette, the young,
impulsive, patriotic La Fayette, flew
from France to succor tbe Continent
als, and from the impulses of a noble
nature gave personal and material aid
to tbe infant colonics in theirstruggle
for independence. The documents
now alleged to have been produced
place him in tbe same light as the
Hesinns who came over here to whip
m back into submission, at so much
a day. "We do not believe that La
Fayette story; wo don't want to be-
Jiove it; it is infinitely preferable to
retain the first and moro fragrant
memory; and to picture LaFayette
iS a gallant young Frenchman who
came as did a hundred moro Steuben
and DoKalb from Germany, Kosci-u-jko
from Poland toaid the cause
of liberty, and to fight, and if need
be, to die in her defence.
In the coming congress Texas will
use every effort that a united con
gressional delegation can use to pro
cure an appropriation for the im
provctnent of the Galveston bar. The
same arguments used in that ox
t reme corner of the union apply -with
equal force in this northwestern
section. If anything the need, is
greater for Columbia improvement
The Lone Star stale realizes that con
t titration is necessary, and. the frit
tering away of possible congressional
appropriations in an attempt to pla
eate all portions of the slate is recog
nized as mistake!? policy. There is
an example in this thai Oregon would
do well io imitate.
The New York Tribune advocates
law for the collection of statistics
of the wealth brought to America by
immigrants from the old world. It
thinks we may be getting more gold
into the country from the pockets of
immigrants than from our mines.
In past years 25,000,000 Immigrants
have come to our shores. If they
average $20 hi gold for each person
there is an addition of $500,009,000 to
the country's capital. The income
yearly from this source alone would
perhaps pay the interest on $400,000,
W0 of Ihe public debt
The idols worshipped by the
heathen of Africa and India are near
ly all manufactured in England, and
pay a very handsome profit. It is
slated that the commercial value of
the brass and csst iron gods shipped
to heathen lands far exceeds that of
the Bibles, books and tracts which
reach the same destination.
MiDWLEBunv. Yt, talks of putting
a marble slab in its new town hall,
with a record of the towns inventions.
It claims the circular saw, the wool
picking machine, power looms, saw
iug marble by sand, water, and soft
iron, welding east-steel and making
door and window sash by water
power.
Tim rormon apostles own and run
a bank, street railroads, and opera
house and a mammoth trading post
in Salt Lake City, control the Utah
Central railroad and collect $500,000
a year in tithes from the faithful fol
lowers of the Church of the Latter
Day Saints.
Bath continues to be the great
center of shipbuilding in Maine, and.
turns out this year 11 ships, 2 barks,
1 brig, 39 schobneSj 7 sloops and 9
steamers, a total tonnage of 40,000, or
about the same as last year. The
total tonnage built in the state this
year is about C0,000.
Uxdek date of October 2Sth, the
N. Y. Tribune's London correspon
dent wri tes: "I received last night a
letter bearing the post mark of San
Francisco, October 10, 1 v. sr. fifteen
days from the Pacific coast to the
banks of the Thames.
English doctors are entering on a
crusade against the consumption of
canned goods, inveighing against
their alleged unhealthfulness. There
is little doubt that if not properly
packed, acid fruits and vegetables
may be uuhealthful
Tee Memphis, Teun., Avalanche
says that a census of southern editors
shows two captains, seventeen majors,
seven generals and 182G colonels.
There are no privates and no officers
below the rank of captain.
Xew York papers report that edi
bles of all kinds are advancing" in
price, and that advocates of domestic
economy are melancholy. Good beef
is becoming scarce, and is going
higher.
Judge Goodwin, one of theleading
newspaper men on the coast, has ob

"No. my dear," said tho venerable keeper
of a country Etoro to a timid littlo cirl whoso
head scarcely camo up to tho lerel of tho
counter. "No, my dear, roharen't any rod
fiannol, but wo havo some first rate New Or
leans molasses." Softly hinting that she
didn't think that would answer tho pnrnoso
quito as "well, tho child went her way in
search of tho articlo sho wanted.
"Havo you BENSON'S CAPCINE PLAS
TERSaskod a centloman of a certain drug
gist whose name could bo ven wero it do
sred. I am troubled just now with a touch
f my old friend, tho lumbago, and tho Bcn
Eon'3 Plaster seems to go to tho Spot almost as
soon as it touches the skin."
"Not at present." replied 0io druggist, gen
ially " but, we havo lots of plasters just as
good. There is Allcock's, tho Capsicum and
others won't ono of them do as well?"
'My dear sir," retorted tho gentleman,
with a slight show or temper, "I say nothing
against those articles, but I am a business
man, and always ask for precisely what
want, and for nothing else. I may enlighten
you, however, when I say that somctimo ago,
