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.
