ASTORIA, OREGON:
THURSDAY JUNE 23. 18S5
TW'EXTY-SEVEN YEAIiS.
Yestbkday's Portland Standard
contains the valedictory of Mr. A.
Noltncr, the late editor a:id propri
etor, who has sold out to Mr. S. TJ.
Pottengill, a gentleman of ripe ex
perience and a writer of more than
ordinary force; ill a brief salutatory
he states his intention of making
some changes in the paper, that in
his opinion will make it more val
uable. In his valedictory Mr. Noltner says
that he has been publishing Demo
cratic newspapers in Oregon for
twonty-seven years, and implies that
he has amassed nothing during that
time more solid or tangible than a
large accumulation of cosily ex
perience. It must be tremendous hard work
to run a Democratic newspaper: run
njng a newspaper of any kind is gen
erally and correctly considered to be
toilsome bnsines, but to conduct a
Democratic newspaper must, indeed,
be fearfully wearing. To do daily
violence to the spirit of the age: to
stifle the promptings of the heart;
to refuse to see the difference be
tween six auil a dozen; to excuse,
palliate, uphold, and endorse all that
such a task makes necessary, is some
thing of which few men are capable.
That Mr. Noltuer has been able to
physically survive twenty-seven
years of such a strain does credit to
his organization.
The fact that all he has to show for
it is a vast and varied collection of
valuable reminiscence suggests to
others theadviiibility of pausing be
fore they press on in his footsteps.
Twenty-seven years of hard work
should yield a man that many thous
and dollars, and that is putting a
very modest estimate on the average
savings of a worker. That Mr. Nolt
uer has worked hard and patiently
and earnestly is a I act patent to any
one that knows him and it is- a dis
grace to the party to which he gave
the best years of his life in this state
to make it necessary or jwssible for
one of its steady wheel-horses and
most faithful workers to say:
"I have sacrificed my time and
money, and to-day retire with only
one consolation, which is, that my
successor may reap the reward of my
labor and build upon the founda
tion which I have successfully laid, a
strong and lasting paper. 1 have at
all times aimed to make the paper
the organ of the parly, and not of
any individual, ring or clique. I
have conducted it as I deemed to the
best interests of my pariv, stale and
country. My conviction" in the prin
ciples of Democracy have been my
guide in all ray labors, and I have
given eyerylhing to advance these
principles. If I have not committed
any error during my life in journal
ism, I should not be human. It is
now twenty-seven years since I com
menced publishing and editing Dem
ocratic papers, in Oregon, and with
the exception of about six months of
that time I have been constantly en
gaged in the profession. I am the
senior member of the craft in this
state, and my hope now is. that 1
have served my time, and that I shall
not be compelled to return again to
a field of labor which has cofet me so
much lime, anxicly and trouble.
The Democratic party of Oregon has
become a part of my family house
hold. I have stood by it and upheld
it under all and every ciicumstance.
and whatever good I have done, is all
I now have to reward me for these
many years of toil."
Tnmtr. is a United States flag at
the war department the history of
which the authorities know nothing
except thai it was found in the con
federate war department and is
marked with the name 4 53d Illinois
volunteer infantry. " The flag shows
evident signs of hard fighting in its
neighborhood, for it is pierced in
many places with bullel holes, and
through the starry field and in ten
places in the silk stripes are gaping
holes -where shells have torn their
way. There is no flagstaff attached,
and the folds aie deeply staiued with
broad stripes of blood, hinting that
some gallant color-sergeant had torn
it from the slafl and folded it away
in his own breast to snve it from cap-
lure, and had poured out his own
life's blood on the flag he had sworn
to defend. Perhaps this paragraph
may meet the eye of some one who
can tell where it was captured, for
the war department officials do not
know.
Axn now it appears from appar
ently authentic Washington dis
patches that editors of 'partisan"
Democratic newspapers stand no
show of getting office under the
present administration. That's good
for the editors. Any editor "who
.would accept any office, state, na
tional, county, cily or otherwise and
at the same time try to run his paper
successfully will find himself in the
same fix as a man who would try to
ride two horses each going different
ways at the same time.
BLAIXE AXD CLAY.
It is thought probable that Mr.
Blaine will never again be a candi
date. He believes that his chances
are exhausted. It is said that Blaine
has a queer belief about his future,
based upon the marked similarity in
the career of Henrj Clay and his own.
Early in life both went from their
native states to Kentucky. Both en
tered public life as members of their
slate legislatures. Mr. Clay was
speaker of the lower house in Ken
tucky. Mr. Blaine filled a similar
position in the Maine legislature. Mr.
Clay was a member of congress after
wards and served as speaker sixteen
years. Mr Clay was first elected to
the senate to fill a vacancy. Mr
Blaiue was appointed to the senate,
but also to fill a vacancy. Mr. Clay
resigned his seat in the .senate to ac
cept the secretaryship of state from
John Quiucy Adams. Mr. Blaine re
signed the senalorship to become
secretary of state under Garfield. Mr.
Clay was three times the candidate
for the Whig nomination. He was
twice defeated in convention. He
was finally nominated in 1844. but
was defeated by James K. Polk. Mr.
Blaine was beaten twice in the na
tional conventions, nominated in the
third one, and was defeated by G rov
er Cleveland. Mr. Clay's letters on
the Texas question are held to be a
parallel in their evil effects upon the
writer to some of Mr. Blaine's letters.
The abolitionists in New York, in
ISM threw their vote to Birney and
thereby gave the slate to the Democ
racy. It is claimed that last year if
it had not been for the votes given to
.St John. Blaine would have carried
New York. The vote of New York
decided the election in favor of the
Democrats in 1844, and again in 18S4.
Mr. Clay -was never a candidate after
his final defeat, and it is believed by
Mr. Blaine's friends that he will nev
er again be presented to tho public
as a candidate. Tho parallel between
his career and that of Clay's will
probably remain unbroken.
The fiscal year ends next Tuesday,
and according to receipts from inter
nal revenue, customs and miscellan
eous sources, the falling off in the
estimates for the year will be about
$10,000,000; $2,000,000 in internal rev
enue. $4,000,000 in customs, and S4,
000,000 in miscellaneous. The expen
ditures will be greater for pensions
and deficiencies than was anticipated,
so that the surplus for the fiscal year
will probably be between $15,000,000
and $20,000,000 less than calculated
by Secretary McCulloch in his report
to congress last year, leaving a sur
plus of about $20,000,000 instead of
$39,000,000.
