m i gaUtj )tfioran. ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY MAY 27. IBS! TUE DEMOCRATIC SENATOR FROM OREGON. Sekatoe Slateu has written a let ter to the editor o the Sunday Wel come a commendable thing for a senator to do. The editor ot the Sun day Welcome has published it, which is a commendable thing for an editor to do. In the letter the senator from Oregon brings state politics into the broader field of national legislation. He charges that the Republican party is responsible for the present delay concerning the forfeiture of railroad grants. Assent or denial is here un necessary. The question is not R-hether the Republican party is or is not responsible for the failure of nec essary legislation in a Democratic congress. But it is pertinent to sug gest to the Democratic senator from Oregon that if he starts this matter going he mustn't complain if ho gets a little more publicity than the editor of our esteemed Sabbath contem porary gives him. Senator Slater in his published letter expresses his fear that the naughty Republicans will try to keep back the benefits he has con ferred upon the state "for fear it will be some advantage to me and the Democratic party of Oregon." Senator Slater is a very wise man, but he shouldn't write lotters. We have in our possession a lettei which comes from unquestioned au thority und vhich "gives Senator Slater away" on a matter that con cerns Astoria, "Western Oregon, East ern Oregon and the whole northwest we refer to his action in the present session of congress regarding tho im provement of the Columbia bar. Bo fore speaking further of this letter, it may not bo out of place to recite a few well known facts. Congressman George was on the committee of com merce in the 47th congress. On that committee he did good work for the Columbia river. To him was in a great measure due the appropriation for the visiting board ot engineers. In the 48th congress it was a matter of vital importance to Oregon that she be represented on that commit tee. The speaker of the houBe was a Democrat, tho California delegation was solidly Democratic, Nevada was Democratic, George was tho only member from the coast returned to the 48th congress, the rest were all new men; he was the only Republican member from this coast, every principle of justice suggested that he be reap pointed, but ho was not. Ont of fifteen members, California got one a Democrat of course, and the North west got left This letter distinctly states that Senator Slater went to see Speaker Carlisle and wrote him a letter ignor ing George altogether, and asking but for one member from tho Pacific coast, and he a Californian, on that committee. Of oourse when the Democratic senator from Oregon said to the Democratic Speaker of the House that he did not want repre sentation for Oregon, the Speaker is not to be blamed, but it is easy to see how the honorable James' political prejudices outweighed his zeal for the material progress of the great commonwealth that he has the honor to represent. He hasn't even the excuse of ignor ance for George told him that ho (Sla ter) could get him on that committee, and it waB plainly understood by George, Carlisle and Slater that all the Senator had to do was to signify his wish that the Congressman from Or egon be appointed on that committee, and his request would have been promptly complied with. What did he do? He, a senator of the United States, knowing the wants and needs of his constituents, deliberately used his influence to keep off the most im portant committee in the house, the man that could do Oregon the most good, because that man was a Republi can. Tht- letter says: "These are facts whioh Mr. Slater will not deny." Had 21r. Slater not tried to make political capital in this campaign by writing political clap-trap to the edi tor?, of Ozitv.ou iicwhpapers, The As tomas wonld not have given publicity to these facta, but if tho land grant is to bo dragged in by the ears and made a figure in politics, let it have for com pany the improvement of the Colum bia river bar. Fbakce has good reason to be proud of her victories on the battle field in Tonquin and in the sphere of eastern diplomacy. After the incip ient internal dissensions among her own civil and military representatives in Tonquin had been settled, the work of subduing tho empire of An nam was quietly, quickly and very cleverly dona "While China was boast ing what she would do in case France progressed beyond certain points in the Tonquin delta, and while the Marquis Tseng was clinging to the hope that England would interfere, France increased her fighting men in Annam from five thousand to twenty thousand, until her army became irresistible. China accepted the treaty of Hue secured by the French commissioner Dr. Harmand, and vir tually recognized France as dictator over tho whole region extending from the southern boundary of Cochin China to ihe northern boundary of Tosquin. It is a splendid argument tor the French republic Coxgernikg probable congressional action, a "Washington dispatch says that the policy ot early adjournment does not meet the approval of west ern and southern representatives. " They came here pledged to revoke unearned land grants, to legislate against monopolies, and to do all sorts of business that tho futile at tempt to revise tho tariff has prevent ed. A quiet but influential lobby has been at work all winter to prevent the passage of any land grant forfeit ure bills, and as the time for adjourn ment approaches those men are pub licly boasting of their victory. They say that it doe3 not matter now what the house will do, as adjournment is assured before the senate can act favorably upon any house bills. These boasts, however, may prove ill timed. There are Republican as well as Democratic senators who say that for the sake of saving a few weeks in adjournment congress should not neglect to act upon bills for the restoration of land to the publio domain." Gen. Geaxt's example is tho last testimony that there is nothing worth considering but a very rich man. Spangled with victories, adorned with the recognition of all princes, rich in the experience of travel, he deliber ately descended from his mental palace to become a member of a spec ulative house. The house failed and now it is said that Grant knew noth ing about it. This only puts the darkness of ignorance upon the lurid ness of perversity. Ho made every shark in "Wall street believe that mil itary glory, political prominence, pub lic approbation were nothing com pared to cash. The people went to work and raised money for Grant. The rich men themselves said, "For God's sake let him not get as low as wo are." After they raised him the money he took it and went into busi ness, so called. Whnt business itwas wo now sec. The little republic of San Marino, Italy, has a standing army of forty men, including officers, and a public debt of $1,080. In pleasant weather the anny goes fishing, or gets up picnics, and leaves the country in chargo of an aged servant. House servants in 3fexico receive from S3 to $3.50 per month. They do not board in the family they serve, but buy their meals and eat them in their own quarters. If Mr. Tilden will only be kind enough to name his man he will lift a great burden from tho minds of some of the statesmen of his party. Blaine's nomination will bo the news that will flash east and west from Chicago next Tuesday. 50,000 votes will be polled in Ore gon next Monday. No appropriation for Columbia riv er bar.
