00 S asiomti. ASTORIA, OREGON: SATURDAY JULY II. 1885 EDUCATIONAL. "With all due deference to tho ladies and gentlemen having supervision of the present session of the State Teachers' Association, the opinion is ventured that the practical good re sultant from their week's work would be more apparent were there more practical work done. Panegyrics of the dead and eulogies of the 1 iving; eloquent dissertations upon the ab stract, and cultured converse on high moral questions, are topics to which it is at once a pleasure and a privi lege to listen. But is it wise to throw the fodder too high in the rack for the animals to reach, or is it judicious to trv to make quart jugs hold three gallons ? If the teachers of this state are a band of brothers and sisters bound -together in tho ties of fraternal union and organized as missionaries in the great cause of reform, perhaps the course pursued may be good; but if each teacher expects to derive some practical benefit from the insti tute; if he or she expects to go back to the little circle where the teacher reigns supremo with something learned, something earned, something for the receptive minds of their pu pils to grasp, we greatly fear that the teacher is mistaken and the schools of the stale, the common schools, not greatly benefited thereby. Let us not be misunderstood. The ology in judicious doses is good; essays iu moderation are good; moral culture and abstract theories are excellent. They have their legiti mate place in institute work; no iustituto is complete without them. But they should not be allowed to overshadow the real work that leach era come together to do. In no spirit of criticism, in all kindness, may we be allowed to suggest that talk is juat as cheap in an institute as it is elsewhere, and practical work just as valuable. To our mind an institute is an adult school with greater facilities for education than the ordinary school affords; it is a school where teachers are pupils and co-workers; a school where every one is interested because everyone has some thing more to do than to sit around and look pretty while a few take and occupy the floor. There are a few things in this world that a pupil in school is supposed to study. As a general thing his progress in these studies depends upon his teacher's proficiency, and that in turn depends upon the amount of knowledge that that teacher has upon that point. To increase that-knowledge, on the part of the teacher, i what institutes and state teachers associations are for. It is not well-to lose sight of this. The pupil is the one for whom all this is suppose! to be done. The child, tho ward of the state, is the primary object of all this cosily system that is justly the pride of our state and na tional life. It is the province of those who guide and guard the great cause of education to see that the homely necessities of reading, spelling, gram mar, arithmetic, etc., are not lost in the discussion of lofty themes, themes that have been discussed by lofty minds in every age, and that will con tinue to be discussed when he who writes and he who reads shall have passed, like streaks of morning cloud, into the infinite azure of eternitv. CARRYING WHEAT. Someone said somewhere sometime that "it never rains bat it pours." The remark continues to be quoted because it cannot be improved. It applies with particular aptness to Astoria's present depressed condition. Salmon, logs, lumber, railroad pros pects, and everything else it may al most be said, offer a dull appearance, and now comes the probable loss of a little business that usually help3 matters considerably iu the winter time the loading of ships. The tonnage at present on the way aggregates 7,871 ton3; two years ago at this time there were 5S,0G9, and the winter of 1883-1 required hero 9A.GS0 tons of ship tonnage. The causes of the falling off are far reaching iu their nature, and difficult to explain in the necessarily brief limits of a newspaper article. Tho wheat is here to ship, and plenty of it, just the same as two and three years ago. Bnt tho vessels are not. Two and three years ago more coal was needed here, which brought ships from Australia; the Northern Pacific railroad was not finished, and sup plies had to come round the Horn in vessels that took wheat to England when they crossed the bar bound out; causes which 119 longer exist brought other vessels, and high freights made it pr .fitable for vessels to come here ballast laden, discharge and load at a handsome profit. The completion of ihe Northern Pn- (!me cific changed the condition of freight handlings in f umishi ng a transconti nental outlet, the ships no longer are so plenty in these waters, tho ton shillings which Wb have to pay over and above San Francisco prices do not justify the ship owner in sending hero; and last, and greatest, the O. K. & N. Co., has with considerable business sagacity discovered that it can make money by taking wheat to San Francisco for the ten shillings that is just the difference between San Francisco and Columbia river freights. So the grain that should be shipped from Astoria, goes in the holds of the O. R. & N. steamers every four days to San Francisco, for $2.50 a ton, there to be reshipped to Liverpool, and Astoria sits sucking its thumbs. Probably our pious friends who hate to hear a sailor swear, and are shocked at the sight of a seafaring man, are satisfied. They can take the job of running Astoria on the same principles that a Sunday school should be run. but it won't keep their respective pots boiling. Just how long the present abnormal condition of grain ship ments shall continue is hard to say. Nothing good or bad lasts very long, and it is probable that later in the season there will be more vessels un der our list of "On the Way" than there is at present. SoiiE fifteen years ago, when it was first proposed to pension the sur viving veterans of tho war of 1812, it became important to estimate their probable number. Tho officials of the pension bureau accordingly en tered into an exhaustive calculation based on the tables showing expect ancy of lifo and all the data that could be drawn from the previous pension lists of tho government. Tho conclusion reached was that there could not bo more than G,000 soldiers of tho war of 1812 still living in the year 188L Congress thought tho government could easily afford to pension this number, and the lists were accordingly opened, with the re sult that over 40,000 applications were filed within a short time. Some of these were spurious, but over 30,000 of the claims wero proved, and the officials expressed astonishment to find how many of tho veterans still survived. There might be only one or two in a community, but when tho wholo country was searched they were found by'the thousands. Ax important order was issued at tho war department -on the 9th, and sent to General Miles, who is to take the field in command of troops now in Indian territory, to suppress the trouble with the Cheyennes. Army officials are reticent as to the con tents of tho message Persons not in authority, however, assort that tho order contained instructions to the commanding officer, directing him to disarm the Indians. It was sent by Lieutenant General Sheridan. Tho Cheyenne Indians are armed with the best make of rifles, and have considerable quantities 6f amunition. For some time they have anticipated an attempt by tho army to take their arms from them. If tho troops un dertake to disarm them it is thought by officials here, who have dealt with the Cheyennes, that they will resist until overpowered. There are be tween 1,200 and 1,500 fighting In dians among them. Sekator TeliiER of Colorado, at Chicago, en route from Washington, when asked if there was a possibility of a conflict between the president and senate with regard to confirma tions, said there would probably be some trouble. "If tho president re moves officers simply because they are Republicans," he said, "and fills them with members of his own party, there will bo no complaint and no difficulty, but entanglements are likely to arise where, under the trans parent device of offensive partisan ship, or some cooked up reason re flecting on the officer's integrity, he is suspended before the expiration of his commission. I do not think the Republican majority in tho senate is disposed to bo captious, but Presi dent Cleveland must stand up and let tho fact be known, which he is now endeavoring to conceal, that he cares little or nothing for civil service reform, and wants tho offices for party strikers. The veil must be stripped off, and it is not likely that he will then pose, as he is doing now, for the admiration of the mug wumps." HEW TO-DAY. Notice of Application.
