ASTORIA, OREGON:
TUESDAY..
-AUGUST 20, 18S1
Ben Butler is going to start a
newspaper.
Stanley, the explorer, dined "with
four kings the other day. There is
no doubt that he "scooped the potJ
- - -
-. t All the circus men in the country
. ' are happy. The present crop will be
30 per cent greater than that of last
year.
Henby Waed Beecheb's brother
Thomas is booming Butler. Tne two
great preachers should pair off and
call it square.
Queen- Victoria's poor relations
are now beginning to speculate upon
the amounts that good lady proposes
to leave them.
The machine-made poetry of the
present campaign is rather lame in
the feet, but when set to music its
limp is not noticed.
It would make everything exceed
ingly interesting if John Kelly could
be prevailed upon to take the stump
in favor of Butler.
The Greely survivors are fairly en
titled to some monetary recognition
by the Government, but the "Wash
ington sharks should be carefully ex
cluded from the grab.
Benjamin F. Butleb is a philoso
pher The more people talk about
him the better he likes it One long
cold wave on the part of the public
would freeze out the great reformer.
General Logan's opponents are
not making so much fun of his gram
mar as they did some time ago. They
have learned that the gallant soldier
calls a spade a spade regardless of
criticism.
A cyclone in Kansas recently car
ried off a bank. But as a fast train
had carried off the cashier and all
the funds the day before, the people
were not much interested in the fate
of the building.
THEMudir of Dongola corie3ponds
with General Gordon, and we earnest
ly trust that the general does not fill
him up with campaign lies. Mud
ears are altogether too common at
present.
Li 'Hung Chang, the Chinese
diplomat, is to be impeached for
malfeasance in office. If decapitation
were not the penalty for such an of
fense he might give a practical illus
tration of his middle name.
Two years ago, it is said, Villard
offered the editor of the Commercial
Advertiser, of New York, half a mil
lion dollars for his paper, but he
wouldn't take it The paper, since
his death has been sold for less than
half that amount
The Indianapolis editor who pub
lished a scandalous story about Mr.
Blaine is now trying to hedge. The
Plumed Knight pounced down on
him like a lion on a mouse, and if the
law of libel in Indiana is enforced
that Hoosier mud-slinger will write
his campaign editorials in jail.
The most prominent European
.brawlers at present are England and
Germany. Despite the close relation
existing between the royal and impe
rial families of both countries a feel
ing of distrust exists. Bismarck is
jealous of English colonial aggress
ion, and young Germans are cutting
out the youth of England in British
fields of commerco and skilled labor.
It would scarcely pay Bismarck to
fight England, or Gladstone to resort
to arms. So the two peoples will con
tinue to growl. France hates them
both with a fervent hatred, and a very
pretty quarrel will culminate some
day. England's extremity will be
Ireland's opportunity.
. .
It it is extremely gratifying to the
lovers of harmony to know that both
political parties are confident of vic
tory. Old Republicans who have
voted for every president from "Wash
i ington down declare that Blaine is
the coming man. Veteran Demo
crats who knew the great Jefferson
more intimately than his body-servant
predict a rousing majority for
Cleveland. Such childlike faith is
beautiful to behold. "Were it not for
hope and barrels it is possible that
both parties might lose heart Here
comes in the strength of Benjamin
, F.Butler. He never despairs. His
heart is tough as a tanned rhinoc
eros. There is no such word as fail
for him. In the different camps
everything appears to be lovely. It
is a perfect picnic all round.
The Sun's "Washington special
says: The effect of war between
China and France will, it is believed
i ihere, operate greatly to the advantage
of the United States through an al
most immediate increase of trade be
tween this country and China. The
demand for all kinds of manufac
tured goods heretofore supplied to
China through French agencies will
naturally be largely transferred to
this country. The Chinese govern-
'f ment, which possesses a large and
powerful navy, will doubtless pro
hibit the importation of all French
goods. Its ports will be closed against
--. -, rncl1 commerce. Not only will the
Chinese need munitions of war but
"also, commissary and quartermaster
supplies which can be transported
from New York to San Francisco and
thence to China by steamship lines,
tne traflic over which has very
perceptibly increased since the
agitation of the Franco-Chinese
trouble. China will continue to pur
chase of England as long as long as
the trade is untrammeled, but the
natural highway of her trade is by
way of San Francisco.
