"W w lw gaitxj ltorau. ASTORIA, OREGON: FRIDAY ...NOVEMBER 7. ISM Gov. Cleveland sliould get mar ried right away. Blaise -will have plenty of time now to finish writing his book. Wonder how much St. John really was paid for running in this cam paign? . Ik 1880 it was John Kelly: in 1884 it ia St. John. The "Prohibition" candidate has earned whatever he agreed to work for. It would be a good joke on him if his employers re fused to pay him. Tammanx was sold and John Kel ly's prestige is paralyzed. He and his henchmen went solid for Cleve land, and did their best, but his own candidate Grant for mayor was beaten out of sight. The Post Intelligencer is not very well posted on Oregon politics. In its issue of the 2nd inst, it says that Oregon "will elect a legislature next Tuesday, which will choose at its next session a successor to Senator Slater." A little off. The Republicans lost New Jersey by the remark of Bev. Dr. Burchard, one of Blaine's "fool friends," who said that opposed to Blaine was "Bum, Bomanism and Bebellion." That remark cost Blaine thousands of votes in Newark, Jersey City and Elizabeth. The only prediction The Astobiax made was that Nevada would give Blaine 1,000 majority. That's just what he has done. "Unole" Jimmy Fair passed the word around the Comstock, six weeks ago, that Jones, the present senator, was his man for re-election and as that required a Republican legislature, the presiden tial eleotors shared in the success. The special providence idea was knocked endways, so to speak, last Tuesday. But that is a question on whioh there is strong diversity of opinion. The majority are inclined to claim the result as a manifestation of providence. Napoleon used to say' that "Providence is on the side that has the heaviest artillery." It looks .as though in this country Providence stood in with those who had the most votes. One week before election St John said that he would "show" what he would do "by making a direct fight on Blame iu New York." There might have been a show for prohibi tion in this country in the future but if it ever does come there are sundry million men in this country whose will has been thwarted by the insani ty of the prohibition advocates and who will take delight in crushing that movement no matter who or what it destroys. There is aheap of human nature in most folks. The Washington Sunday Herald relates the story of the manner in which General Hancock received the news of hi9 defeat four years ago. His wife, who told the story to the writer, says that on the night of the election he went to bed at 7 o'clock, utterly worn out, and slept so sound ly that when his wife, who stayed up to hear the news, went to bed she did not disturb him, nor did he awaken until 5 o'clock next morning, when, Mrs. Hancock having a coughing spell, he aroused enough to ask her it she had heard any news. She said she had, and added "It was a "Water loo for you." "All right," he said and, turning over, was soon sound asleep again. . The joint commission appointed shortly before the adjournment of congress to inquire into the organi zation and work of the coast and geo logical surveys, the.signal service and hydrographic offices, will meet in Washington next Tuesday. A com mittee of the national academy of sciences, to which the subject was re ferred for suggestions, favors the ea tablishment of a new government de partment, to embrace all bureaus of a scientific nature. This would in elude the signal service, hydrographic office, coast and geological surveys, lighthouse board, naval observatory and army engineers and work in the matter of the improvement of rivers and harbors. Bismarck draws no salary as a Prussian Minister. In bis official ca pacity as chancellor of the German empire he reoeives $13,500. The rest of his income is derived from his estates, the acreage of which is very considerable. He has always been the poor man's friend, and as. -an in stance of his sympathetic natdre, it is related that during the war he oft en visted the sick at Versailles and ..provided for their wants. One day lie heard a soldier express a desire for some apple-sauce. He promised to send him some, and on returning to his rooms ordered his cook to pare it specially. The chance' said to be somewhat short-si but he does not use his glasses Wit. reading or writing; his hearing is un commonly good. Like all nervous people, he is partial to warm clothing and heated rooms. He is of a cho leric disposition; the least vexation is apt to provoke him to volcanic out breaks of temper, which,however soon subside. "It is not always agreeable to be with me," he sometimes says, 'but people should not attach so much importance to my irritability." M A2J article having appeared in the Chicago papers to the effect that St John the prohibitionist had deserted his wife and child, Van Yliet, editor of the Lever being interviewed says: "When St John was in Chicago he told me the whole story Baying he was afraid the Republicans would use it as a basis for slander. He said he was married in Bichland county, Illinois, when 19. He discovered he had been deceived and there fore went to. California to allow his wife to get a divorce for desertion. He returned in a year and was sus tained by publio sentiment He mar ried a second wife and had a son educated who is now employed in a railroad office out west. NEW TO-DAY. Assignee Notice.
