m Sftc guilt? t.$tom ASTORIA, OREGON: THURSDAY.. .APRIL 23. ISSo NOTES ON PROHIBITION. PjJoniBinoN' is a grand thing. It is something that cannot be praised too highly. But it is singular that its ad horouts confine their attempt to put the grand doctrine in force in only one instance that of making people stop drinking. Men should be pro hibited from going into debt The slavery of debt ia no less a condition orEerfdom than the slavery of drink. Prohibition of debt -would be a beau tiful accomplishment of an ideal. Men should be prohibited from im provident marriages. "What is more disastrous to the individual's career than for a couple to resolve them selves into a committee of two with power to add to the number and be unable to agree on ways and means! Men should be prohibited from working on the credulity of their fellow citizens by writing books of fiction. Can anything bo more de moralizing than the effect of indi discriminate novel-reading on the teedt-r rairuls of the young! Men should be prohibited from indorsiug n nolo for a friend. How awkward and aunoying the situation when the indorser has to pay the notel Prohibition should be enforced in the matter of buying mining stock or railroad st ck Oregon Transconti nental forinstauce. Consider the hav oc wrought by a sudden fall in the price of these fascinating securities Men should be guarded from them--selves and protected from their own infirmities. Our legislature has kind ly prohibiied the possibility of finan cial progress by a mo'rlgago tax law and the delightful results accruing are sufficient to encournge prohibi tionhts in other and less devious chunnels. The prohibitionist who starts out to compass the full meas ure or his possibilities deserves to be apphiuded. The reflection on the brevity of life, must, howerer, check the supposition of success. SrEAKiKG of the decision of the United States supreme court in the Clawson case, yesterday's Salt Lake Tribune says: 'The synopsis of the decision in the Claw- son case, furnished by the telegraph, indicates that it is as square and sound a document as has ever been issued from the court of l&t resort in this country. It vindicates the absolute correctness of the ruling here that a grand jury is a part of a a prosecution, that, therefore, any thing which would disqualify a man from silting on a petit jury would necessarily make it impossible to sit on a grand jury, and it brushes aside completely the theory that the law which gives general directions for the impaneling of a jury can bo so manip ulatcd as to close the courts, and practically defeat the ends of justice. The decision in its effects upon Utah is about the most important one ever rendered. It leaves to the men who aro determined to oppose the laws nothing whatever tot-tand upon. All the talk of illegal methods and perse cution fall to the gronnd. At last the violators of the law stand face to faco with inexorable justice. We hope they will bo given the wisdom and the grace to see their position, and to accept the inevitable. "While notes of preparation of war resmmd through all parts of the Brit ish and Russian empires, expressions of confidence are heard from high places in both that peace will bo pre served. It will not do, says the Ore gonian, to foreel the suggestion tele graphed some dajs ago, that vast speculative interests throughout the world are taking advantage of the present Hilnatiun to make money. From the two governments very little newt, emanate; and hence it is be yond doubt tlint a large part of what we ht'nr comes from ilmse who, on the one hand, rr .,( rv ring to force values up, ana mi tho other hand from those who are trying to force values down. Accordingly we have it oac day thet waris iuevitable, and 1he next that' there is a growing pros pect of peaceful solution. The expense to the people of the United States since the voar 1S19 of V?" - Keeping the montl sof tbeAIisiisRippi river open has been SiO.SOO.OO", of which Si,5O0,OU0 was expended before Gapt Ends took charge of the work, and S15,0u0,000 since. The 2cw lork World says: "El Maltki, tho rival ot the f Ise prophet in the Soudan, is now said to be Lar ry Mackey, who us3d to keep a shoe store in Donogal, Ireland." Tirs Loudon Spectator prophesies that the revised version of the Old Testament "will soon be setting more men by the ears than the revised version of the New ever did." REVISING EPITAPHS. The London Telegraph says that in a certain Connecticut township the authorities have arrived at the conclusion that epitaphs, as nt pres ent made, are often commonplace and misleading. The are scandalized at the want of accuracy which is so con spicuous in the inscriptions usually employed, and they1 would apparently prefer that the whole truth should be told about the deceased person, whether it bear favorably on his char-" acter or the reverse. "Instead of summing up with judicial impartial ity all the good and bad qualities of the departed, these nefarious mono liths perpetuate only virtues, and say nothing whatever about defects." That is what is charged against the Connecticut reformers, who, as as serted, would return to the pattern of the venerable stone which once sternly recorded that the deceased was "a bad son, a bad husband "fir V"bad father." "At all events," continues the London journal, "they have struck upon the idea of turning tomb stones into compendious tables of in teresting personal statistics, so that the amended epitaphs, after recount ing the name of the person beneath, would proceed to give his or her age, social position, profession, residence, amount 01 family, and the uiseaso which finally proved fatal." And, as though this were not enough, it fur ther says that the Connecticut au thorities are considering whether or not the inscription should record the name of the deceased's medical ad visor, his illnesses from infancy on wnrdB, the accidents he had met with, the strength or weakness of his phys ical constitution, and the mode of treatment which was adopted prior to death. It is said by those who believe that England is iu fjood condition to be gin her inevitable war with Russia that, as tho labor market in England is much depressed, there will bo no difficulty now in raising troops. A whiter iu BraditreeVs asserts that after thirty-five year's experience in Iowa he has never known a mort gage foreclosed on a dairy or stock farm. The total area of the seas in the world is given as 231,915,905 square miles, and that of all the continents and islands as 34,354,950 square miles. It is rather a singular fact that an other of the world's greatest generals died of cancer Napoleon I. The number of gas-lighted buoys on ocean coasts the world over is rap idly on the increase. TnE greatest height of an ocean wave is said to bo about thirty-five feet above the level. In the timber belt of western Wash ington there are 20,000,000 acres cov ered with timber.
