CZ1 t gattg Historian. ASTORIA, OREGON: WEDNESDAY, ..JANUARYS. 18S4 Mk. H. "VjliiAITO is fjoinjj to Eiirope. The Northern Pacific president has not yet been named, The next National Democratic convention -will comprise 802 delegates instead of 73S, as heretofore. PoRTLAOT "will turn to Astoria in 'Si, embrace her as ' her long lo3t sister, and. clamor for a railroad to the sea. Six hundred thousand strong came across the sea in 'S3. In six years they will be ruling us in and out of legislatures. They say in "Washington that Ar thur's dream i3 nor to get re-elected himself, make Conkling a senator, and appoint Grant secretary of state. Guiteau's skeleton, which is hid den in a private room of the Army Medical museum, has been polished and bleached until it looks like an ivory figure. The Galveston Ncics declares that there is no considerable sentiment in Texas in favor of dividing the state, and the talk about it is the idle frothing of politicians. Ok December 1st the total number of distilleries in the country was 5G5, against 356 at the same time last year, with a total daily capacity of 289,000 gallons, against 203,000 the year be fore. '' ' Piekre LorilxiAed, gave a Christ mas present of $17,600 to the em ployes of his Jersey City tobacco fac tory. It averaged a wcek'ri wages to each of the 3,000 men, women, boys and girls. A meteorologist says the railroads and telegraph lines, form a network of electric conductors which tend, to equalize the climate of our country that of the North becoming warmer and of the South colder. It is asserted that there is a one-legged Confederate soldier in Georgia who has never drawn any state pen sion, because all his command were killed, and thece is no one to certify to his having been in the army. The secretary of -the Treasury has decided in the case of Chinamen brought to New York on the ship Resolute, that they cannot be landed in the United States, but may be transferred to any other vessel going to a foreign country. The threatened modification of the land laws has created increased in terest in the coast laud offices, and an evident disposition to take advantage of the present liberal constitution of the land laws is manifest in many ap plications for homestead entries. The last pier of the Northern Pa cific bridge across Snake river at Ainsworth, W. T., is practically done. Half of the false work is done and there is no doubt that tho structure will be completed before the next high water, and probably within two months. General McKenzte, commander of the department of Arizona, whose in sanity has been announced, is a nephew of Admiral Eodgers, and his father was the McKcnzie who hung a son of the secretary of the treasury for mutiny. He graduated very high at "West Point, and was placed in the engineer corps. The publishers of the daily papers in New York have now had three months' experience under the cut-rate system, and taken as a whole they are not a happy set of men. Talks with newspaper men in all branches of the business bring about vigorously worded opinions that the whole scheme of reduction as carried out was a grand blunder. Puesidext Arthur, at the New England dinner, whispered to one of the speakers that the way to break up Mormonism was to establish twenty-five dry goods stores and millinery shops in Salt Lake, City, thereby tax ing the elders to such an extent that their organization would go to pieces. This suggestion is far ahead of the recommendations on the same sub ject made in the presidential message. Privileges always bring attendant responsibilities. The women of Washington Territory have a vote, and it is righi they should, but lia bility to jury duty and tho necessity of paying poll tax doesn't exactly suit .They won't mind -it whenthey get iised to ii If there is any one sensation in the life of an American voter more pleasurable than another, it is to be shut up in a 10x12 room, with eleven other sovereigns, on an all- night hung jnry. The Walla Walla WaicJiman de votes considerable space to its former proprietor, in -an attempt to prove that he is a rascaL The time has gone by when a newspaper can afford to guarrel with a man. It hurts the newspaper .more than the man, and, when, as in this instance, it is plain ly a matter; of private spite, policy iWould suggest some other means of attack than the columns of a man's paper to attack his adversary. It's too apt to create sympathy for the attacked. The subject of cremation now occu pies a good deal of public attention. Every feeling of decency, every im pulse of humanity, every prompting of finer feeling, impels the idea that cremation is preferable to sepulture. ... i m m ' PeoiIiE whose habit it is to harp upon the "extravagance' of our gov ernment as compared witli insi o Great Britain, would do well t i - a note of the striking fact Vir. r Britain employs 5,903 efiiei: cost of about 10,000,000 yearly, to collect her internal revenue, while the United States employs only J.09S persons at a cost of a little over 5,000,000 per annum to do the sarno thing, and our territory is thirty times larger than that of Great Brit ain besides. Mrs. Villard is described as a singularly unworldly woman, who regularly gives a certain time every day to the education of her children, accompanying her little daughter on the violin at the piano with school room routine. At the same time a large proportion of her time is given to charity. She has always a ; re cession of dependents in winter. v whose welfare she intere. ts herself. I and in summer performs gracious deeds in inviting to her country home friendless girls and those per sons to whom pleasure and recreation rarelv comes. Several territorial papers are com menting adversely on the actions of their chief executive. In this they seem to be strangely inconsistent. They say, and truly, that they want immigrants, men with money, and to have the country go ahead. Gov. Newell is a whole immigration soci ety in himself, and by voice and pen, by travel and published result of ob servation has done more to bring peo ple to the territory than any other one man in the country. It kipv be that others want his place; that is natural; but it is unjust and unman ly to charge the present able execu tive with incapacity. TnERE is a story that Congressman Willis of Kentucky got his first nom ination in his district in a peculiar manner. There were two prominent candidates for Use Democratic nomi nation, which was equivalent to an election. Their strength in the nom inating convention was exactly cquaL Mr. Willis proposed to his competitor that there should be no quarrel about the matter, and that the readiest, fair est and most amicable way to settle it would be to toss pennies. Tho com petitor agreed, and Mr. Willis won the toss, tho nomination, election and scat in congress. Somebody asked Mr. Willis the other day it the story was true. "Certainly,' said he, "but I have not had to toss pennies for the nomination since then.' :CIBiffi MIL MONDAY AND TUESDAY, JAN. 14 and 15, THE TSH1XEXT COIKEDSAIV. John S.
