. Czj fa gaitjj toran. ASTORIA, OREGON: SUNDAY- OCTOBER 23. ISM THE SHAME OF IT. The campaign of smut and brutal attack draws to a close. But one week more remains in which to attack the unfortunate men who are wading through a nasty current while a nas tier deluge threatens to submerge them. To outsiders, reading parti san journals, it would be a question whether Blaine and Cleveland were running for the presidency or the penitentiary. One is a thief and a blackguard; the other is a blackguard and a thief if the party organs are to be believed. It is the penalty that prominence pays for power; it is the punishment assigned to the man that is of sufficient importance to be sing led for attack. The mediocre, the un available, the unimportant are mer cifully spared. It is only tho best and bravest that are crucified on every by-way in tho nation. The sew ers are open and the scent of the rot fills the air. An outsider, if he read the American newspapers since the presidential convention met last summer must inevitably conduce that we are a nation of the most de graded character. All our leading men he would look upon as mean, low-lived and impure. The candi dates for chief officer could hold no higher place in his judgment than as men who have only escaped the pen- tentiary, as proven criminals whose auxiliaries are scoundrels and whose intent is plunder and subversion of popular rights. To read such things daily, to hear the meanest and most insulting epi thels poured out on all sides, to note tho coarsest and most indecent assaults on others, cannot but have an evil influence, and, in time, make all our language rich in all that de grades and barbarizes it It is i shame, a disgrace, and a lasting and irreparable injury that a presidential campaign can not bo conducted with out such gross infringement of the right of free speech. Argument, charges, proof and political attack are one thing: dragging a man through a privy vault is another. Experiments in the use of the electric light in light-houses are now beiug made. It is feared that the wavering intensity of lights thus pro duced will be a serious obstacle to their use, since it might result in mis taking for "flash" lights those which wero intended to be continuous. Pro fessor Morton, of the Stevens Insti tute, has been making tests with the view of ascertaining the highest de gree of intensity obtainable in the incandescent light, which wavers less than tho arc light, and has succeeded in producing a lamp of four hundred candle intensity. This, he says, is brighter than the arc lights usually used for street-lighting, and is suffi cient for light-houso purposes. It has been found that the lenses now used in the light-houses are not suitable for use with the electrio lamps, and new ones must be ground. It will be necessary also to provide each light house with duplicate dynamo appli ances for use in case those regularly employed should fail It is expected that the experiments to be made will settle the question whether the pres ent electric lamps can safely be used in light-houses, and at an outlay with in reasonable bounds. The electric light is used in light-houses both in JLinglanu and ranee. In a yarn about an Indian going down the rapids of Niagara without injury in his bark canoe, an imagin ative writer displays a knowledge of the characteristic philosophic bent of the Indian mind. The redman hap pened to have a bottle of fire-water with him , and as he neared the an gry water he seemed to awaken for the first time to a full sense of his danger. "His life probably was lost," the story runs, "but there was still time to prevent tho waste of good liquor; so he raised the bottle to his lips and took a drink proportionate to the occasion." The result makes the story unfit foe use in enforcing a moral; for, according to the narrator. the liquor gave him strength and courage, and, grasping his paddle, he guided his frail craft into compara tively still water. John Kelio' said yesterday, says a New York dispatch of the 24th, that ho was convinced the vote in that city in November would be an unpre cedentedly heavy one, at least 225, 000. "If this calculation is correct," he said, "our ticket will get fully 100, 000, the Republicans about 70,000 or 75,000 and the Grace combination the remainder." He denied that there was any truth in the allegation that he had'entered into an agreement with the Bepublican boss O'Brien whereby Tammany is to trade off Blame votes an exchange for Bepub lican votes for Grant As to the con test in New York between Blaine and Cleveland, Kelly is of the opinion that it will be remarkably close. A fbiend of the Tichborne "Claim ant" has settled 100 per annum or him, so that he will not be entirely dependent on the contributions of sympathizers or on his own exertionB now he has been restored to liberty. . Forty thousand men earn their living in London by selling sand wiches, which are a great staple were. s ic The southern war claims are being brought out preparatory to giving them an airing when the proper time comes. One of the clerks in the file room of tho house has been occupied since the adjournment of congress making a consolidated index of all the southern claims growing out of the late war. There are about twenty-six thousand claims, amounting to several hundred million dollars. The object of all this work is, they say. :. i have them in order to be handled should congress Viuiuuw, them at any time. The German army is the most per fect military machine in existence. Each corps is so constructed as to form in itself a complete little army that can without inconvenience be at any time detached from the main body. During peace everything is kept ready for mobilization in case of war. If the decree for mobiliza tion were to be wired to-morrow from Berlin, the whole field would be ready in a few hours to march. The total indebtedness of the several subsidized Pacific railways to the United States June 30, 1884, is re ported by the commissioner of rail roads to be $127,823,016; total credit, $24,838,222. Balance in favor of the United States not due until maturity of principal, 1895 93, is S102,9C4,7C4. g The Engineer says that it a man had in his legs the muscular energy and leverage of a flea, he could jump a mile in throe leaps. But the flea would get away from him just the same. The people of Kansas are as one man rejoicing in tho estimate of $150,000,000 as the value of this year's crops. For Sale.
