ttl i $fo gaUg IM ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY- .JUNE 5, 1881 DORSET SCHEME OF IiEVEXGE. Stephen W. Dobsey, late purveyor of foap and Star route contractor, is somewhat sore over the fact that he was accused of plundering the gov ernment by means of expedited con tracts, -which proved to be chiefly useful in expediting money into his pockets and the pockets of his com rades. He "was acquitted, it is true, but people Trill persist iu believing him 'guilty for all that This state -"- of facts has so irritated the sensitive soul of the great soap manipulator that Wis determined to have revenge out of somebody. He darkly hints that men in high and honorable posi tions, to which they could not have been elected but for the judicious application of soap on his part, have gone back on him, and he -will get even if it takes a century or two'to accomplish his revenge. Dorsoy's scheme of revenge, how ever, appears to be complicated and depend on a good many contingen cies. He "won't open his -mouth to reveal the damnable secrets that are J to blast a -uhole bundle of reputations while he occupies the humble posi tion of a New Mexican cattle rancher. Not he. He -will wait in silence till New Mexico be comes a sovereign state and a New Mexican legislature elects him to represent its new-born dignity in the United States senate. Then he -will arise in his soapy might and smite with a destructive hand the -whited sepulchres that encased in trousers parade the official halls of the nation. If Dorsey intends to play the role of Macbeth he had better adopt Mac beth's maxim, "'If it -were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well it were done quickly." New Mexico isn't a state yet and may not be for a good while to come. "When it becomes a state it may happen to possess two citizens with more savory reputations than Mr. Dorsey, or men who are more than a match for him in the use of soap. Iu either case Mr. Dor gey's senatorial aspirations might come to naught very easily and his opportunity for revenge never come. If Mr. Dorsey really wants revenge and possesses the means of revenge he had better enjoy its sweetness at once. The publio will believe juBt as much of his story as he can prove by good testimony, if he tells it as a pri vate citizen. It will believe no more of it when uttered from a senatorial chair, if he should by any mischance ever disgrace such a seat again. And if he knows any secrets about aspir ing publio men the publio is entitled to know them before they are en trusted with further honors. Let Mr. Dorsey take his revenge at once, if he can. It is now given out that the Demo cratic leaders in the house have de termined upon an adjournment by July 1, regardless of what business may not be reached by that time. That a great many bills, including a number of important ones, must go undetermined, or even unconsidered, in case of an adjournment at the date proposed is manifestly certain. Every committee has in its hands some measures of more than usual import ance which ought to be actod upon but vrhich certainly will not be with in such a period. But perhaps the country can afford to let them fail in consideration of the general relief that will be afforded by the adjourn ment Whateveb else may be said of Mr. Oonkling, it can not fairly be asserted that he permits himself to be outdone in courtesy." Having had a hand some compliment paid him in Mr. Blaine's boot, not to speak of the in sertion of his picture, he takes occa sion to remark of "that person," a5 he used to call the accomplished gen- uemua irom juaine, mat ne is "a man of great talents and great abil ities; has rendered the party distin guished service, and is justly en titled to credit" It is pleasant to see two long alienated statesmen swapping caramels in such a gracious and generous way. Aocobdikg to the Democratic pa pers of Louisiana, the vote for gov ernor in the recent election in that state was "Shamefully tainted with fraud; and more than this, it seems that a constitutional amendment, against which there was a clear ma jority of 28,000, has been declared carried by the state canvassers of the returns. The ring which now has control of the official machinery of Louisiana is probably the most cor rupt ever known in the south, and the carpet-baggers are not in power there either. It turns out that after all the racket about reducing the surplus, Mr. Ean dall is the only man who has done anything practical in that direction. He made the motion to authorize the printing of undelivered speeches on the Morrison bill, and that has re sulted in the absorption of about JH0,000 of that troublesome balance in the treasury. f in atanaara worries over the purchase of votes by those naughty 'Bepublic&as. Nothing is said ' about xs the pore and incorruptible 'patriots ho took 'the money. Touching the proposed European conference on the Egyptian question some London papers seem to be dreadfully afraid that Gladstone may be ready to admit a European control perhaps sooner than a dual control for the future. And there is a great deal of talk about the consequent loss of the advantages England has already gained in Egypt. In truth it would be difficult to enumerate these advantages, other than the Egyptian mortgages held by John Bull, and these would be valid under a dual or a European control. The advantages arising out of the bombardment of Alexandria, the capture of Arab! and the loss of Hicks Pasha's army are very questionable. AB. Europe will have to.take, Jhand in civilizing Africa, and the ra-fftoxuubility of rul ing it may as welt be divided. Of 'course there will be lota of conten tions, but they will come any way. The empress -cannot get all the snuff without the inoonvenMAoe of a little aneefclng. Anqthes paying-teller of a New York bank has gone-wrong to the tune of $90,000. It is the old, old old story; he gambled with other people's money and lost, and losing exposed him as a thief. His name is Charles,. A. Hinckley and the West Side bank is the victim. That sort ef: theft will stop only when such men as Ward, Eno and Hinckley are treated as common thieves and' sent to the penitentiary. If a messenger of- any banking house stole twenty, fifty or a hundred dollars, he would be tumbled in the dock without cere- mony and sent to prison, and it is high-time that the law should teach that thieves who steal hundreds of thousands are just so much greater criminals than those who steal a few hundreds. Thk country can probably rely up on Mr. Holman to be in his place, in congress two years longer and to come forward with his accustomed MI ob ject" A number of competitors have long been of opinion that Mr. Hol man had been quite long enough in the house. Naturally they were anxious to go to "Washington, where the successful man's only possible claim to attention would have been that he could be pointed out as the successor of the Great Objector. With the fundamental faults of a small man the Indiana representative neverthe less does a good and neoessary work. If he is satisfied with his position the country has certainly no right to com plain. Beckxtxi? on Oregon man adver tised for a wife in an eastern paper. Out of numerous answers he selected one, and photographs having been exchanged the young lady started for Oregon to marry him. On the North ern Pacific railroad a gentleman going from San Francisco to Portland made her acquaintance, and they were so favorably impressed with each other that the young woman relin quished her mission and married him. They have since discovered that they are the parties of the photographic exchange, though their photos did not divulge it The Oregonian thinks that it will take just as much hard work to carry -the state for the Eepublicans in No vember as it did last Tuesday.
