SAT UK DAY ...I..MABCIJ 21. lfcS5
HOW TO MAKE TIMES GOOD.
Tm is something that every one
would be glad to know at present
There arc different ways. Hero is
one way: "When you want a ton of
coal don't buy it from a local dealer;
send your money away; from $10,000
to 515,000 a month is spent in Astoria
for fuel: send it all away where you'll
never get it again. If you want a
suit of clothes don't be silly enough
to buy from an Astoria tailor; send to
Portland or wait till some San" Pran
cisco man comes along; he'll take
your measure and your money; if you
want a piano don't stop to think that
thero are' merchants here who will sell
to you as good and as cheap as any one
can; go or send to Portland for the
piano; if 'you want a dress or a cloak
or a spring hat, don't go spending
your money in town; go to Portland
or send down to San Francisco; if you
want a few bill heads or letter heads
printed don't give the job to the
printers here; they'd get sassy if
they wcreirt kept down aud made
feel their inferiority; send your little
job to Portland; of course you'll pay
just as much, but you've showu your
smartness; it you want a newspaper
don't take one that works for you,
for the city, for the best interests of
all; that chronicles your birth, your
marriage, your death, send your mon
ey away; if you do otherwise your pa
per might one day get to be of some
consequence, and that would never do;
Whatever you want send away for it;
send the cash along with it When
yon want credit go to the merchants
in your own tewn: "stand them off,"
make theni wail; they don't need the
money; they're only keeping open for
their health. When you havo a
house to build send to Portland for
all the doors, sash, windows, hard
ware, lumber, mechanics and every
thing else. People that are in busi
ness here arc in business just for the
fun of the thing. If you have 5 or
S10 or 100 to spend don't. let a cent
of it get into circulation in Astoria;
send awav for everything. Of course
Astoria merchants may keep big
stocks and constantly try to have
what is called for; of course if the
money were spent here it would be
in circulation rand we'd, all be that
much better off; but if you do that
we'd all getso prosperous after awhile
that it would be irksome to bear the
load of wealth.
One thing .mere: When you find a
man that pays all his honest debts,
who keeps his credit gilt-edged and
never sends the collector away with
out the money, don't patrouizo him;
pick out some scrub who is on the
gouge and. who will give you the
pleasure of knowing that he is cheat
ing you.
Here is the way to make times good
in Astoria. How do you like it? It's
juBt what yon are doing. If you
know a better way adopt it and take
these well meant and homely hints in
the same kindly spirit that they are
offered.
It is 'probable that at the next ses
sion of congress a bill will be passed
to transfer the pension bureau from
tlieTnterior,to the war department.
The president will recommend this
change in his annual message, and the
Democrats in tho bouse and senate
will almost unanimously support it.
Under tho present condition of affairs,
the secretary of the interior has, the
Indian,rpension, patent and land busi
ness of the government in charge.
This work is considered" to be entirely
too heavy for .any one individual to
properly supervise. In making a
transfer of the pension bureau to the
war department, the secretary of war
will have immediate supervision of the
system, and it is suggested that offi
cers of the army, whenever -practicable,
shall be detailed to attend to pen
sion business in different parts of the
country. The records most in de
mand for the adjustment of pension
cases are now in the war department
in the surgeon-general's office.
Postmaster Pearox of New York
has been earnestly puslied for reap
pointment at the hands of President
Clgveland, a quasi promise having
been given by the president that he
would be. His term of office expires
to-day. He is a Republican, but did
all he could, which was a good deal,
to help beat Blaine. If Cleveland ap
points him there will be a row; "if he
doesn't appoint him there will be a
row; be is a political Benedict Arnold
and may, probably, get bis reward.
It is rumored in London that the
Russians under' General Komaroff
havo captured Pendjeh, and that
Lord Duffer in, viceroy of India, has
threatened to resign unless given
fuller power to .carry out .Iris plans
for the defense of the Afghan frontier.
Montaxa folks are talking up a
nice little scheme to get into the Un
ion. They have already adopted a
state constitution; they propose to
elect a Democatic senator, a Repub
lican senator, a congressman and
then ask recognition as a state. The
idea is a good one, but it -wont work.
Ex-Sejatob NESMiTHhas recovered
sufficiently from his attack of insani
ty and the asylum authorities having
allowed him his liberty, he has re
turned to his homo in Polk county.
The present prince of Wales is the
seventeenth royal son who has borne
the title since it was established in
12Si, and the first who has lived to
see a son attain majority.
The fund to be presented to Bis
marck by his admirers on the 70th an
niversaryof his birthday, on April
1st, now amounts to $750,000.
The belief in London now is that
both England and Russia are trying
to find an easy way out of the Afghan
difficulty.
