ASTORIA, OREGON:
ATr 11DAY . JUNE 2w. 18S5
VICTORIA itnaiA.
To-Day marks the forty-eighth an
niversary of the accession of Qneen
Victoria to the English throne. She
succeeded William IX on the 20th of
June, 1S87, and was crowned on the
2Mh of June, fc$R. Her ieign of
forty-eight years is one of the long
est in English history, and is ex
celled by that of few English mon
archs. Henry III of the house of
Plantagcnot reigned from 1210 to
1272, a period of jG 3 oars; Edward
III of the same dynasty from 1327 to
1377, a period of T0 years, and George
III from 17G0 to 1820, a period of GO
j ears, being the only three mouarchs
in 1.200 years of English history who
have excelled her reign in length of
ears. The last ten years of George
Ill's life were clouded by insanity,
the government being administered
by the prince regent, po that should
Victoria reign ten years longer, she
would le excelled by hut one mon
arch Henry III" in the length of
time in which the scepter was con
tinuously swayed by one individual.
The British empire has an area of
S,9VK),211 wjuare miles, a population
of 307.725.7-11: an animal revenue of
20S,:7.)0,111 and a public debt of
i.I.OGf),G20,000. The total area of
Great Britain and Ireland is 121.115
Nuare mile, the total population
"l7.-lGJi.42il; the remainder is colonial.
In the army are l."fi.23G men: in the
navy si7.2-"0.
The England of Ym is very difier
t'jit from the England of "37 and is
gradually approaching a icpublie in
all ith governmental functions. En
gland is to-da a monarchy only in
name. Victoria is nominally queen,
but the real power is in the G52 men
who constitute the House of Com
mons. The franchise is being gradu
ally extended, and to-day the man
who controls a majority of these
052 men is for the "time being prac
tically Icing of England. It is easier
for a man to reach snpreme ow
er in England than iu the
United .States. To become 3'resi
demt the wishes of ten millions of
voters have, at least theoretically, to
le consulted. As a matter of fact,
probably 100,000 men in each party
make the selection. But in England
the political area, so to speak, is very
much less. If congress were to elect
the president, or to name him as in
the olden time, our form of govern
ment would be more closely allied
to that of Great Britain than it
is. A man can climb unaided to the
top of the ladder in England. He
becomes in the first instance the
leader of his parly. That distinc
tion he wins by his abrlily, his elo
quence and power in debate. Xo
amount of 'personal exertion can
make a man president of the United
States. The usual rule, on the con
trary, is, that the more he strives for
it, the less certain he is of securing
the object of his ambition.
There are still about a million men
in Great Britain and Ireland who
have no voice nor vote. When the
franchise is granted this remaining
remnant the only difference between
government in England and in the
United States will be that of name.
Probablv by the time the piesent
reigning monarch has paid the debt
of nature, and her sou, the Prince of
Wale?, has ascended the thione un
der the title of Edward VII, uni
versal franchise will be the rule, and
there will be an English republic
across the sea, the result of the re
public of the new world that revolt
ing against English rule in 177G set
a pattern, to the mother country that
was copied ere the twentieth centu
ry had begun. History is full of
apparent surprisQS and when the En
gland that to-day celebrates Victo
ria's forty-eighth accession to the
throne is compared to the England
that in 1GSS sent 3 nines II to St.
Germains, who shall say that what
we have suggested is an impossi
bility! THE STATUE OF LUiEliT.
A few years since some of the most
eminent men of France conceived the
idea of more firmly uniting tho
French and American people by tho
joint erection of some great work of
art. The scheme was most favorably
received in both countries ; tho
Franco-Amorican union solicited
subscriptions from every part of
France, while an American commis
sion performed a like work here. Tho
statue, nearly completed, designed by
the celebrated sculptor, Augusle
Frederic Bartholdi, was. formally de
livered to the United States minister
at Paris on the 4th of July, ISSk It
was recently placed on board tho
Lwe, at Rouen; the vessel sailed for
New York May 20, aud is now in Xew
York harbor. The statue is 111 feet
in height, and represents a gigantic
female figure holding aloft iu the
right hand a torch and clasping with
the left a tablet on which is engraved
"1770." Its size may be estimated
b the fact that forty persons can
easily be seated in the head, and that
an ordinary sized man can with diffi
culty get his arms around one of tho
thumbs. The statue is made of cop
per, is hollow, and is braced by iron
plates and posts. It weighs 400.000
pounds and cost S200,000.
The pedest.il on which the statuo
will be placed is on Bedloe's Island,
the name of which is to be changed
to Liberty Island, in the harbor of
New York. It is SO feet in height and
isG2 feet square. It is built of granite
and concrete. The statue will be
turned over to the United States gov
ernment on the 4th of next month.
Governor Warren, of Wyoming,
in a recent interview, stated that the
granting of the right of suffrage to
women had been a success. He said
the law was passed about sixteen
years ago by a Democratic legislature
"more in way of fun than any other
motive." One or two attempts were
made later to repeal the law, but they
failed flatly. Some of the olficials in
power maliciously placed the names
of women in the jury boxes, and
women ivcre drawn as jurors. But
within the past ten years nothing of
the kind has been done. The gov
ernor saul: "The women never asked
to serve as jurors, although they
made good ones, aud you can imagine
the inconvenienco and weariness that
a woman would suffer in a long trial
followed bv an all-night session of
the jury. We think that it is 110 more
right that women should serve
on juries because they are voters than
they should hoe corn because they
own property." How about the
offices? "The women have evinced no
desire to hold many of the political
offices. They are made school com
mittees, superintendents of instruc
tion, etc.. but that is substantially
all. We have had one justice of the
peace, however."
A xoVRrrv iu furniture is thus
described by the Cleveland Plain
Dfulvr: "Not a speck of glue is put
into the largest pieces of this fur
niture, and not only chairs, bnt bed
steads, racks, lounges aud all kinds
of furniture are made of it. It is
absolutely indestructible and finished
in all colors and woods. The furni
ture comes from Austria, and is made
of the Austrian beech, a beautiful
straight grained wood. After the
parts are turned they are steamed
and jointed, and screwed while pulpy
and soft. The wood then gels hard
and grows round the screws. You
can chop the furniture to pieces and
that is all. In addition the bends
aud .curves are so graceful aud per
fect thai the furniture is far more
pleasing to the eye than Ihe turned
variety."
Tin: range of the most approved
breech-loading 10-inch caunon,throw
ing projectiles of 4G0 pounds, is about
13,000 yards, or about 7's miles.
From this may be calculated the dis
tances at which hostile fleets might
lie off from some of our coast cities
and inflict damage nnless we had
the means to hit back or drive off the
An cslale valued at 1,500,000 has
been in litigation in the Brooklyn
courts for thirty-two years. All of
the original heirs, two of the lawyers
and. one of tho trustees are dead, and
the surviving trustee is over ninety
years of age. The English chancery
court could not have done better.
During tho month of May about
7S.000 persons arrived in this country
from abroad. Of this number 07,000
