4- C?l Ite gaits storfm ASTORIA, OREGON: TUESDAY NOVEMBER 4. 1SS1 Has any ono heard from John Kelly. Tkouble is feared at the polls in Chicago to-day. Mr. Hekdbioks is fond of shrimps. Not the political variety, however. Butler's voice is growing hoarse, although he is as frisk' as a yearling colt. Mr. Bhike is six years older than Governor Cleveland, but not so hand some. If there be such a thing as special Providence, to-day affords an excel lent opportunity for its display. Wili Blaine get 100,000 votes in New York City? On the answer to that question depends the result of the fight. The curtain rises on the last act of the great presidential drama. Let us be glad that it doss not end in a tragedy. The Massachusetts state commit tee of the People's party have issued their last address, in which they claim 70,000 votes for Butler in that state. In his speech at Buffalo St. John said that he knows what it is to chop cordwood and swing a scythe. He was too modest to state that he knew all about carrying water on wash-day. Sixce the 1st of July the govern ment has paid out 21,000,000 for pen sions. In five years it has disbursed nearly 303,000,030 for the samo pur pose. Who says republics are un grateful? Postmaster-Gexeraij Hatxon and Romero, the Mexican minister, have concluded a postal convention for the exchange of mail matter between the United Slates and Mexico at domes tic rates of postage. Wood land in the southern states nearest to Louisiana is said to be dull at fifty cents an acre. Interest on the mortgages on all farm prop erty in that region is eating up the profits at a fearful rate. The sheriff of Cincinnati has made a requisition on the governor for troop3 to-day. The governor re plied that after he and the mayor of Cincinnati had exhausted their ro soaroes with deputies and special police they could have the aid of the state militia. CoiiONEii Cash, the notorious South Carolina man, makes the assertion that in every regular duel fought in the United States the man with the fewer syllables in his name always killed his antagonist He adds, more over, that it has been so in all history, from the time of David and Goliah to that of Burr and Hamilton. "What grander sight can be pre sented than that which to-day exhib its. Long before Tub Astobian, the farthest west of any daily morning paper in the Union, reaches its read ers the votes will begin to fall in Maine, and by the time these lines have met the eye of the reader one million of the ten million votes of the .Republic shall have been oast. Long before we are through voting in our little seaside oity, the votes of the great eastern cities will be added up by thousands of busy clerks, aud by midnight from all parts of the Union shall have been flashed the news that makes the cold liBtener pause to listen. A New Yobk special of the 2nd says: So far as any political observ er here can detect, the story of any considerable defection in the Eepub licau ranks, on account of stalwart discontent, is utter nonsense. Every leading stalwart in the state, with the single exception of Conkling, is openly and heartily at work for Blaine. Up to this hour Conk-linn- has absolutely taken no parkin the contest, and his friends declare that he intends to take none. President Arthur has already announced his in tention to vote for Blaine. His clos est friends in this city have been active in the great business uprising and other Bepublican demonstrations of the week. A teiiEgbam from Dongola to the khedive of Egypt, gives a detailed story of Gordon's capture, as told by a sheikh who left Shendy October '7th. He says seven weeks ago Khar toum was surrounded by rebels. Provisions were short and a feeling of discontent arose. The long expected relief not arriving eight thousand men deserted to the rebels, leaving only 2,000 faithful to Gordon. The officers asked Gordon to lead them northwest to meet the relief expe dition. They started down the Nile after leaving Shendy. They were be set by rebels along the banks. In passing Shendy the rebels there opened fire, disabling several boats. So savagely and disastrously attack ed, Gordon determined to return. Accordingly all the boats except one, commanded by Stewart, headed for Shendy. On their arrroil there they were again attacked and compelled to surrender. The.officers and men are still prisoners there, but Gordon has been taken to the headquarters of El 'Mf&di. It will have soothed those inolined I to despair of the future of the nation to observe that the marriage mill goes on gaily in spito of the campaign. Torchlight parades indeed are faint things compared with the procession up the oenter aisle when a man is on his last mile to matrimony Then ev ery man is his own presidential can didate, and every girl feels that the White House of happiness is hers. The heated canvass between Gay and Kellogg resulted in a riot at a Kellogg meeting at Iieorianville, Ibe ria Parish, Saturday. Some one cheered for Gay, when shooting com menced. At least 1,000 shots were fired. Captain Bell and Joe Guilfaur, Democrats, and Victor Bontte Be publican, were killed. Jules Metay er, Bepublican, had his thigh broken. Ex-Sheriff Yiotor was fatally wound ed. It is reported that half a dozen negroes wore also killed and many wounded. A large number of ar rests have been made. In 1871 in free trade England thero were 253,477 hands engaged in the manufacture of boots and shoes. In 1881 the number had declined to 216,- 53G, a decrease of nearly 19,000. Dur ing the same time the number of per sons engaged in that business in the United States increased from 171,127 to 194,079, a gain of nearly 23,000, a difference of 42,000 in favor of this country. England is anxious to get an opportunity to do this work for us, and would undoubtedly underbid our workmen to do it, as they doubtless could; since the weekly pay of a first- class journeyman in that country is but 7.35. Accobdinq to an elaborate article in the New York Tribune, there were no less than 227,342 persons employed ia that city in 1880 in protected in dustries and their earnings for the year amounted to the immense sum of $97,000,000. The American work ingman receives, on an average, 62 per cent higher wages than the British actory hand; so, should free trade be established in this country, the wages of all these workmen would have to come down to the English standard. This would mean that they would get 60,000,000 yearly instead of the $97, 000,000 which they received in 18S0, or to come down to the indivfdual, it would mean a loss of $75 a year to every workingman. This loss repre sents the cutting off of many sub stantial comforts of about all which makes life worth living to the hard" working laborer. Says an Indianapolis dispatch: But little attention has been paid to the Quakers, or Friends, who promise to be of great benefit to the Bepublican party. At the least calculation there are from 8,000 to 10,000 Quakers in the state, who are perfectly qualified to vote, but, as the usual thing, not more than one-third of them go to the polls, unless some moral issue is at stake. They consider the present contest one of grave importance, in a moral sense, and look upon the elec tion of Cleveland as a menace to puri ty and defiance to virtue. In elec tions heretofore this sect has fre quently voted with the prohibitionists but this year they regard it as their duty to vote for the Bepublican ticket at least as far as national matters are concerned. Doubtless they have been influenced in a great measure to this belief by the proclamation of Friend Clark, one of the most influential of their society. Certain it is that the Quakers will vote for Blaine in a body. This means from 6,000 to 8,000 Be publican votes. NEW TO-DAY. Occidental Hall! Saturday Evening, Nov. 8th, '84.
