ASTOKIA, OREGON:
SATURDAY.
.AUGUST 2, 18S1
GiiETelakd and Hendricks met at
Saratoga, N. Y., for the first time
yesterday.
A new railroad line is to tap San
Francisco from the east via San Die
go and southern California.
Ik France since the outbreak of
cholera last month, 2,300 persons have
perished from that dread disease.
It is reported that France and
China have made a treaty of peace.
China is to pay France an indemnity
of S7,280,000.
In future campaigns Ben Butler
should exhibit a diagram of his in
tentions. He has plenty of spare
space on the top of his head for a
lovely map.
The New York Chinamen don't
seem to know when they are well off.
They are holding meetings and
want to kake a hand in American
politics.
Suxxv Cox sees no spots upon the
Democratic orb of day. He believes
that the nominations will shine upon
the just as well as the unjust in
November.
The affection of Carl Schurz for
his adopted country is truly touch
ing. He is willing to lift. up his voice
in her defense for the paltry bauble
of $100 or more for each warble.
The south sticks to Webster's
spelling-book, especially in the coun
try districts, ana ouys a million a
year of them. Tennessee alone con
sumes between 30,000 and 40,000.
It is said that six million copies of
speeches made in congress have al
ready been printed on the order of
senators and representatives, and
sent out to illuminate the public
mind on various subjects chiefly the
tariff, and it is estimated that before
the presidential election takes place
this number will be increased to fully
ten millions.
Me. Blakce and Gen. Logan are
both urged in some quarters to take
the stump. Enthusiasts have even
gone so far as to make out a pro
gramme for the former, which in
cludes all the large cities. These
hopes are not likely to be realized.
And yet there is no reason why a
candidate should not express him
self on the platform, as well as in a
single formal letter of acceptance. A
joint debate between Blaine and
Cleveland on public affairs and the
issues of the campaign would edify
voters. Gen. Logan, by the way, is
specially urged to speak in North
Carolina a state that may fairly be
called doubtful.
Queex Victoria alarms herself
unnecessarily. The most bloodthirsty
dynamiter would scarcely dream of
blowing up or injuring a harmless old
lady, who, with all her pomp and cir
cumstance, is a mere cipher in the
management of British affairs. The
dreaded Invincibles, if we under
stand their programme aright, are
making war upon men, not upon
women or children. Of course the
old lady is naturally timid, and her
nerves are not what they were when
sundry cranks attempted to take her
life by means of pistol shots. The
dynamiters know very well that the
queen has rooted her dynasty so firm
ly in this world that it would take
more dynamite to blow up the family
root and branch than would suffice to
sink the entire British navy.
The indiscriminate character of
much of the legislation at Washington
is illustrated by a discovery just made
by the secretary of the treasury. A
clause in the sundry civil bill prohib
its the public printer from doing any
work not authorized by law. On Gen
eral principles the inhibition is of
course proper and reasonable. But it
turns out that it will prevent the is
sue of several interesting and valuable
bulletins relative to imports, exports,
immigration, etc., hitherto published
monthly by the bureau of statistics'
If the attention of the committee on
appropriations had been called to
this matter, the publication of these
statements, which are inexpensive as
well as important, donbtless would
have been provided for. Such unfor
tunate lapses as this are bound to
happen so long as the time and atten
tion of congress are largely devoted
p matters which ought nevr to be
brought before legislative bodies.
Both political parties have de
clared themselves opposed to the ac
quisition of land by non-resident
aliens. Certain quack doctors a gen
eration ago taught that America must
be reserved for the use and enjoy
jnent of those who were then Ameri
cans. Now, on the other hand, for
eigners are invited to become citi
zens provided they arrive not un
der contract, but at random, with
out knowing what they are to
do when they get here but, if
the Chicago phrase-makers have
their way, they will not be permitted
to buy real estate while they remain
aliens and non-residents. The two
platforms express the same idea. The
Bepublicans oppose the acquisition
of large tracts of land by corpora
tions or individuals, especially when
such holdings are in the hands of
non-resident aliens. The Democrats
believe that no more grants of land
should bo made to corporations, or
be allowed to fall into the ownership
of alien absentees.
