fZ3 $k gPaUg giovuut. ASTOEIA, OREGON: M XDAV. ... Jl NK 7. JgS5 .i.v txrwExr of nivrom. lx the j ear 1801 emperors Paul of Iluam and Kapoleon of France agreed to invade India. A French nnyof 35,030 under ibe command ofMaaEena, weie to march to rim, i ul titenee deseetul by -way of the uanrntc xo ihc iiiacj: sea. Then a traiau Utfel was to convey the troop3 t Taganrojc, reaching Astrakhan, tutere the French army was to be j ined by 50.000 Cossacks. This army, ".3,000 strong, was to push oa to Can dahar by way of Herat, and so enter India at the expiration oE four or five month from the outset. The death of the emperor Paul frustrated this iian. But in 1793, three years be fore the plan liere noted had been matured, Napoleon had outlined a plan for opening a new route to India with t lie liope of hitting Great Britain in a sensitive, if not a vital place. These donees were, at his in tigatton, issued the French di tectr: Art, 1. Tlie generaMn-chief of the armv of tlic east will seize on Art. 2 He will drive the English from alt their possessions in the east ..nd. above all, destroy their entrepots in the Bed sea. Art. 3. lie will have the islbmns uf Sues: cut through, and will take ill the necessary measures to insure the ftdl and exclusive imssession of the Red ?ea for J he French repub lic. It is interesting to note that nearly i igfety-five ears ago a llusian czar was meditating an invasion of India b IbeHerat-Caadahar route, and that 1 lie miliUn: plan, which was then, oihaps. a vild one. is in the car of rrace JS8", eoii?kler"d so feasible that it ha? ncariy caused a great war lctwecn England and llussia. At the same time. England has been expending millions of treasure and v aluable lives to kocp up its com munication with India through the Snee canaL which Ukj director so asily ordered to be cut. Three-fourths of a century after the date of. the decrees the French did also cut the isthmus of Suez, and did in this way create the short and uirod route to Europe. Great Brit ain, under the ministerial guidance of Disraeli, adopted the master trokoot policy by -which a con trolling interest was bought in the Suez canal. Whenlteuau welcomed De Lessen to the French academy, he suggested that the waterway thus cut across the isthmus might ci be come the scene of a great conflict because it was the hey of India. But all tlte skill of diplomacy is to be i mployed to avoid any such isue. "The people do not forget that Koscoe Conkling was clean-handed," ays an eastern paper in connection with a floating paragraph naming him as the proper pcion to deliver the eulogy of General Grant. No, the people will never forget that: neither will they forget that Itoscoe Conkling stands by his friends, a quality that shines uppermost, loo, in the character of the greatest cap tain of the age. "Put yourself in his place," said a friend of his recently in dismissing the ex-senator. uand tell me what you would have done as a United States senator if j-ou had held an interview -with the piesidenl of the United States on a given day and he had told you positively that no ap pointments should be made m New York unless you were consulted, and ou were to -wake up the next morn ing to find that your bit terest enemy had been appointed collector of the port." I confess that Roscoe Conkling one of these days will win back iwpnlar favor. The American pe iple love fair play. There is a story going the rounds that Kos coe Conkling, George C Gorham and Frank Halton are going to start a great newspaper in Philadelphia. Wo do not know what truth there is in it, if any, hut what a trio to be named in such a connection Conkling and Gorham as editorial writers! Great Scott, bow their scintillations would be sought after, as were the letters of Junius, and how like those noted pa pers would they shine like diamonds with merciless sarcasm and wit Everyone knows Coupling's mastery of the English language, but Cor ham's power with the pen is not so well known as it will be one of these nays, if he goes back to journalism, whore ho belongs. He strikes sledge hammer blows in any cause iu which he is ongaged, and like the man from Utica, is clean-Landed. The New York Wo)Id announces that it has raised money enough to place the colossal Barlholdi statue in position. Congress will bo asked to change the name of Bedloe-island to Liberty island. Its subscription has reached 863,000, and is rapidly increasing. The recent law reducing Oregon railroad fares to four cents a mile has. it U charged, caused the O. 11. & N. Co. to attempt to reimburse itself, as far as freights are concerned by charg ing Washington Territory shippers a dollar a ton more on flour than on wheat for the same distance. Eastern Oregon and Washington journals call attention to such manifest injustice, which, of course, is prejudicial to grain interests of tho inland empire. The "Walla Walla Union, in the course of an article on this subject, says: "The mills of this eonntrj- turn out over 100 barrels of flour per day, of which nine-tenths must be exported to find a market, and the millers are forced to pay about 1 cents more for wheat to make a barrel than the same wheat will cost the Portland millers and wheat buyers; and will be almost a death blow to ihe milling business in this section."' From all parts of this northwest coast come complaints abont the policy and management of the O. R & N. Co. The upper and lower Columbia, the sound, and every where they have business with tho public complain of their style of transacting business. Relatively speaking, we, of Astoria, are better off in this regard thanome of our neigh bors, for thanks to our location, we can always secure compeliton that will prevent any more extortion than such petty gouges as "primage,' etc. Tun Hebrew word "sbeol" has late ly been brought into prominence by being substituted in the revised ver sion of the old Testament for the fam iliar "hell." It would appear that the revisers could not find an English expression for "sheol' which satisfied them, and therefore they have tran scribed it just as it stands in the He brew text. Originally, however. " hell," like the Greek hades," was the exact equivalent of "sheol," both being the designation'of a vast hol low place or cavern under the earth where the spirits of the dead were supposed to dwell, not in tor ments, but still in darkuess and discomfort. The place of punishment was called by the Hebrews iu later days "gehenna, from the name of the valley near Jerusalem where rub bish and ordure were cast, and whero fires were kept burning to purify tho air. The idea of "hell1 as of a place of torment is a modification of tho original conception, but it has bo come so firmly established that tho word no longer answers to the He brew '-sheol," and has therefore properly been discarded by tho revisers. SccnnrABV Bayaiid made a lino speech at Columbia, Missouri, last Thursday. Among other things he said: "Whatever may be the differ once between men's opinions, what ever may bo the difference between men's personal ambition, the Ameri can people have recognized, and they do recognize that there is a point be yond which they cannot go, and that point Is national safety. That is the guard that is the bonudary, that is the work which I trust all education in this country will teach us to ob serve. Our education in all its forms is simply to end in making us higher, belter, more self-subordinate; to teach us that we are humble instruments in the advancement not of mere self ishness, but of something far beyond it - tho glory and welfare of our en tire country." . The secretary of the interior has decided that lands purchased bv tho United States and transferred to the interior department are to be regarded as part of the public domain, held in trust for the people, and on the same basis as if tho lands were acquired by cession. The question arose from discussion of the act of July 5, 186i, pr ividiug for transfer to the interior department of certain lands formerly used as military reservations. PoitTii vxd gave a fine reception to senator Sherman and Chas. Francis Adams, Jr., last Friday. It was a graceful thing to do. They are rep resentative men such as anv comnu- nity might well honor. Not the least of the advantages accruing from the present possibilities of rapid transit is the ability of tho leading men of tho nation toliecome acquainted with this far off corner of the national do- 3rAKItlEI.
