One inch of rain citv represents considerable weight. Bain water weighs G2 pounds to the cubic foot; so that a rainfall of one inch shows that during last Wednesday there fell on each acre of the city's area, 227,130 pounds of water. Parties from Seattle aud elsewhere re port Astoria to be tho liveliest place they have seen north of San Francisce: more money, more business and more solidity than less favored communities. It is a fact that Astoria is to-dain bet ter fix financially and otherwise than ninety-nine hundredths of the cities and towns on this coast. At the late Bepublican territorial con vention held at Seattle, A. D. Bowen, ed itor of the Pacific Journal, was nom inated for representative to the territorial council from the counties of Pacific, Cowlitz, Chehalis and Wahkiakum. Tho nomination is equivalent to an election, and our trans-Columbian neighbor is a fit subject for congratulations. It is reported that tho Brazilian gov ernment has made an offer for the twin steamers Alaskan and Olympian, which are both out of service. Tho company asks $700,000 for them, while tho Brazil ian government has not yet come to terms. Tho government owns her own transit lines, and the steamers are want ed to ply on tho majestic Amazon river, the largest in the world. SLIGHTLY IRBEG ULAR. The county has a contract with the sis ters of St. Mary's hospital to furnish tho indigent food, medical attendance, etc., for 5 each per week, and no complaint having been made there seemed to be no pressing reason for any change. Dr. Kin sey, the overseer of the poor, seemed to think differently, for on Saturdaj' niorn ing l?st ho appeared at the hospital and informed the sifters that the seven county charges in that institution were to bo re moved to his place. TIig sisters made no objection and the transfer was accord ingly made, the good doctor providing generously for his impecunious boarders. But "the best laid schemes of men and mice gang aft agley.' Tho county com missioners yesterday cited tho doctor to appear before them in reference to the unauthorized change and gently in structed him to brin them back from where he took them. No doubt the doc tor was actuated by tho best of motives. but in the judgment of the commission ers any departure from the existing state I of affairs is unnecessary, and his fear that "they were getting too much to eat," is by that body deemed unwarranted. Accordingly tho seven hospital patients will be transferred back to St. Mary's hospital to-day. . . In Tho Garden of Eden. It is said that our first parents were not troubled by dyspepsia, and that they knew nothing of debility, liver complaint, or malarious diseases. But the children of Adam, from Gain down to the present time, have in herited bad blood, and a host of oth er disorders, most of which can be driven out by tho timeh' use of Brown's Iron Bitters. Mr. J. D. Bo defer of Greendale, Ya., was cured of a bad case of eczema by this valuable medicine, and recommends it to every one in his neighborhood for any dis order of the blood, and as a general tonic THE FIRST GO OF THE CAMPAIGN. Speech or Hon. M. C. George at Occidental Hall Last Evening. Hon. M. C. George, congressional rep resentative from Oregon, made the first speech of the presidential campaign at Occidental Hall to a large audience last evening. After some well-rendered selections by the Astoria Brass Band. Mr. George was introduced in a few words of presenta tion by W. It. Bishop, vice-president of tho Blaine and Logan club. Mr. George began by saying ho had al ways been proud of the state he had the honor to represent, and prouder still when he visited the gateway of the Co lumbia, and with pleasure he appeared as the representative of the people of Ore gon, and was able to say that he had dono all in his power in the national leg islature to open this gateway to tho com merce of tho world. In the last session tho only new gov ernment work for which appropriation was made was for the improvement of tho mouth of the Columbia river. It took strong and determined effort on tho part of the Oregon delegation and success crowned their efforts. But he proposed to talk now of political issues. Two great political parties were on trial Every four years there has been a ver dict on the part of the people in favor of the Bepublican party. Now is going on the regular trial. He predicted tho usual verdict. He would speak only on tho is sues of tho present,of a Democratic house of representatives. He would first dis cuss the record of the last congress on THE QUESTION OK PUBLIC LANDS. Some Democratic speakers had declared that the policy of the Republican pirty was inimical to the true interests of the people. He wanted no Democrat to make that charge after hearing the record. Up to 1841 the United States was a gi eat land proprietor. L p to that time the specula tors' policy instead of tho policy of settle ment prevailed. The cabins of settlers on tho Ohio river were burned to keep the public lands from being settled, and this was done by government speculators. Then came the Whig party to protect the settlers, aud for tho first time the settlers were protected. The law that gave tho poor man a right to preempt laud was a whig measure, aud with that exception no law was passed recognizing the settler's rights until the Republicans came into power. Jas. Buchanan vetoed the homestead act, but under Abraham Lincoln the homestead act was passed and became a law. It is claimed that im provident land grants had been mado by Republicans. Ninety-one land grants hail been made, of these forty seven had been mado bv a Democratic congress; forty four by a Republican congress. The great Illinois Central grant Jiad been championed by Douglass and passed by .1 Democratic congress. The forty-seven land grants made 03' a Democratic con gress were passed on six particular days. The 3d of June, 1&"7, saw twenty land grants passed and approved b' Franklin Pierce. In 18G0 the Republican party CAME INTO POWEB. Since then 41 grants had been given, mostly to transcontinental railroads. Before 18G0 the contest was as to the lo cation of the first Pacific road. Doubt less mistakes had boen made: too much had been given away: that was plain, but Bepublicans, if to blame, had follow ed a Democratic precedent. Neither par ty could be wholly blamed. When the largest grants were made the nation was in tho throes of rebellion. Probably at that time a little too much gonerosity might be excused, especially when the greatest contest in history was being waged. Six of these grants were passed under Andrew Johnson. Tho most mu nificent grant of all the N. P. grant was passed by Republican and Democrat ic parties. Tho3. A. Hendricks worked and voted for that grant and others and that question was not fairly a party one. TIIE ASTOBIA LAND GBANI had been introduced by J. S. Smith in congress and this was only adduced to show that there was no fairness in charg ing the matter of improvident land grants on the Republican party. In tho Astoria land grant everyono present was familiar with its history. He gave a brief resume of tho history of this grant in congress when it was pissed in May,1870. It was Judge Olney that got tho clause introduced having the road run to McMinnville and Astoria. It was about the last grant that congress made. The Republican National Conven tion of 1872 declared against land grants, and since then no land grants had been made. But Oregon Democrats kept on asking for grants. In 1878 Gov. Whit taker was elected to congress on a plat form asking for a subsidy for two mil roads and an extension of time for a third. In 18S1 tho speaker introduced a bill authorizing forfeiture on account of the corporations' non-compliance. Had that bill passed the Astoria railroad would have been built or else the grant would have been forfeited. Timo was when his constituents would have felt like hanging a man for not advocating a grant: afterwards they felt like hanging a man for not advocating its forfeiture. Tho Astoria chamber of commerce sent a bill asking for forfeiture of tho Astoria land grant. Ho presented the bill and worked for its passage, but thought that a clause should be inserted protecting the settler who was on that land in good faith and he thought that when that land was forfeited they needed some safeguard, and ho framed certain amend ments to that bill before presenting it to congress. This he did IN THE INTEBESTS OF TITE PEOPLE, and thought that ho was serving them well in doing so. Tho bill went to a committee composed of ardent forfeiture members. Some Oregonians wrote to that committee saying that ho was in the interest of tho railroads to beware of him. Mr. Payson, of Illinois, introduced a bill, and he yielded his right; Iflit as long as he had a voice in congress ho would work for and advocate the inter ests of the settlers. They took the mat ter in their own hands, and setting cside his (George's) bill, took favorable action on his (Payson's) bill. That bill forfeit ed the right of wTay from Portland to McMinnville. He introduced an amend ment excepting the right of way neces sary to tho road's construction over road already constructed. On this subject he had been misunderstood and misrepre sented. Mr. Paj'son, in asking the pas sage of his bill, said that there was only one man in the house opposed to it meaning him. He disclaimed opposition on any other ground but that, that it was unjust to tho settler and should not pass. Mr. George argued that when a road built a certain portion of its line, and properly equipped it, that portion of tho grant snouia not be iorieited. He thought that such attempts at legislation would not stand before tho sunreme court. To forfeit the unearned portion only was tho true policy. Ho thought that Mr. Pay son's bill was a wretched mistake, for it would only have conveyed tllo erant to the O. & C. Had he not pointed out the bill's monstrosities and had he advocated that bill, Oregon would have howled at him. He wouldn't have dared face the people of Astoria had ho voted for that bill and fastened the fetters of tho rail road "upon them. He said to tho heuse: "Perfect tho bill and don't take away the land that the railroad has earned; pas3 a bill forfeiting the unearned grant." Thev didn't do it, but he wasn't to blame. He defied any one to point to any place that showed where he had been untrue to the people. People couldn't praise Slater and condemn him, becauso ho and Senator Slater were identical in their position on this matter all along. The house accepted his amendments against Mr. Payson, and ho couldn't pass the bill till the Republican convention met at Chicago, till the friends of the measure Voted it through. Ho couldn't vote one way or tho othevso didn't voto at nil. It went to tho senate and there Senator Slater objected to it because ho didn't think it was in right shape and the bill didn't pass. The question will come up next winter. He thought that the nublic lands would bo restored to tho public domain, and woum ao wnat no couiu in iurinering iu He would remain in the city to-day and wanted to meet leading men of both par ties and gladly answer anv question that should bo asked him. He courted the fullest scrutiny and wanted to have every one in Astoria understand why ho did what he did and seo that he was right. Passing from the discussion of tho Astoria land grant, Mr. George spoke of tho Morrison tariff bill, and showed its inconsistency and how it deservea tuo defeat it received. Ho thought that the revenue should be used. Internal im- Erovements were needed; though Oregon ad fared well. Though only having a representation of one three hundred aud twenty-fifth of the house it got at the last session in the proportion oi ouu- iweniy-eigntn. .niooKJiuruMUiJi. j.i us worth worinng for. io tnougut inai me public money could not be used to better advantage than IN OPENINO THE GESAT WATEBWAYS of tho country to compete with the rail roads. These great waterways, when opened up, would act as a wholesomo check to extorbitcnt railroad rates, and yet would not act otherwise than as an aid to railroad business. Fourteen mil lions was a miserable pittance for the improvement of tho waterways of tho country. He would vote all mat was necessary to improve the Columbia, and so improve the Columbia river that grain could float from the mountains to the sea. Ho would vote for works of defence at the mouth of tho river to protect this city, and would voto for additional meas ures whereby the surplus revenue should be applied to necessary public use. He thought that in this the nation should do as the individual pay debts, protect it self, and place itself independent and self-asserting. Ho spoke of the tariff; of the need of manufactures; of the need of protection; of the benefits resulting from it; that duties were a legitimate and necessary source of revenue; that the prosperity of tho country depended upon a just tariff, and to .throw down tho barriers would invite national beggary. He en tered into an exposition of the workings of the tariff system and argued that to tho admirabls workings of tho protective svfetem was due our unparalleled pros penty. Me instanced the urownsvnie anu Oregon City woolen mills where a blanket can bo bought for 2.7."i while a blanket in England would cost $3, and instanced other examples, arguing that the protec tion policy ui mo Jiupuuiiuau iKifty caused competition and mado articles of common use considerably cheaper than they would be if there were no tariff. Ho then read statistics showing that in the last quarter of a century our exports and imports have grown at a won derful rate, and passed on to a brief his tory of the American carrying trade pud the causes that led to its decrease, and charged that it was duo to the blighting influence of legislation in the days of '49. He hoped that the time would come when tho Democratic party would aban don the heresy of free trade and realize tho magnificent oppportunities for wealth and national prosperity af forded by embracing the true American policy of tho tariff, and insisted that in practice there was no such thing as free trade. Even England had a tariff to raise revenue, and as Ran dolph of Roanoke said, no one really ever advocated free trade but Nero.the b'loody emperor of Rome. Ho used to bo a free trader himself just after ho left college, but bad got over it long ago. It was a splendid theory, but of no possible ac count in practice. He arraigned tho neg ative appearance of tho Democratic plat form on the tpriff question, and said thai they had no policy, becauso they wished to first get into jwwor and then show their hand. and argued that ltepnblican continuance ol power 4 would insure a continuance of our pros perity. Mr. George thought that the great Am erican mind was being aroused, and that tho timo would soon come when tho two great parties would bo in accord on tho question of protection to American in dustries. That the American flag should be the credentials and protector of an American citizen in whatever seas ho sailed, that its starry folds should wave in every foreign breeze, and that tho best interests of our country demanded that James G. Blaine should bo triumphantly elected next November. Ho thanked tho audienca for their attention and bade them good night. Mr. W. R. Bishop proposed that a vote of thanks bo tendered Mr. George for his ablo address, which was unanimously given. Mr. E. C. Holden proposed that an additional voto of thanks bo tendered the speaker for his exposition of his public action on tho question of tho Astoria land grant, which was unanimously ac corded. Three cheers were given for the Blaine and Logan club and tho audience dispersed. Mr. George spoke till 10:39 and held the unwearied attention of his audience to the close, being frequently interrupted by loud applause. Tho greater portion of his speech was devoted to a personal expla nation of his course in congress regard ing the Astoria laud grant, an interest ing subject to many. He will remain in Astoria to-day and leaves for eastern Oregon to-morrow morning. Who Is Del There aro in this city some strange and peculiar persons, the most noticeablo of whom is a gentleman who is considered a very fine musician. He plays nearly every musical instrument known, and never took music lessons in his life. He can build a piano from the foundation up, and consequently can tuno them. He is a good machinist but never served an hour at the trade as an apprentice. He ran an engine on the Northern Pa cific for some time and always gave sat isfaction. He is a good carpenter, has worked at blacksmithiug, and is consid ered an A No. 1 cook. Tho strangest of all is that ho is a first-class magician. He has taught dancing school and has been pilot on the Columbia river. He also understands tho barber business thoroughly, and is one of tho best eques trians in the northwest. He is never at a loss for work, and he has no particular preference for any of the above mention ed caUings.;-Seae Herald. Finn Werk: Watch Rciairin Warranted.
